stop saying helldivers is dead. major order are being completed at record pace, updates are coming out, the reddit is brewing every day. the community is strong. the only reason the game isnt in its prime is because during the summer people like to, yknow, GO OUTSIDE??

from over 450k players to 40k they lost 90% of their player base with no sign of recovery, on top of the lackluster new content the warbonds arent enough especially when they are constantly nerfing any weapon thats good and making the warbond useless after people either spent money or grinded for it. Game is dead dead.

Calling HD2 "dead" When It's averaging between 20-40k any given day of the week is factually incorrect. Is that down from it's all time height of half a million? Sure. Point to a non MMO or extraction shooter that holds those numbers months on end.

Just because a dev team takes a break from releasing back to back to back updates doesn't mean the game is dead. It's also summer, the time for vacations. 30k 24 hour peak and 22k players playing right now, that doesn't sound like a dead game, not taking into consideration crossplay. There's also leaked and very public videos on upcoming weapons, stratagems and enemies. A dead game doesn't have over 20,000 people playing it on a weekday. It's like if a constant stream of new content and updates aren't streamed into people's heads every waking moment a game is considered obsolete.

Starfield was one of the final nails in the coffin when it came to me preordering games. Utterly broken by design because it was built on an engine that is a complete shambles.. yes i completed it after several restarts and an uncountable number of crashes... avoid af all costs a month of my life I'll never get back.

Putting a game with 30k 24 hour peak of players (roughly 7% of the all time peak) on steam that also has roughly the same numbers on PSN in a video about dead games when it's just a game that doesn't force you to play every singe day is kinda silly to me.The game isn't dying, it's stabilizing. Elden Ring, another game which doesn't force you to play daily to not miss content or gear, started at over 950k players and after about 4 months had only 80k players which dropped down to about 40k until the DLC release. Helldivers 2 has 60k on steam alone when they release new content and because there are no fomo tactics employed people can just take their time with it hence why it doesn't have the constant numbers like Overwatch or Apex legends, both of which employ tactics to specifically not get the 3 month 60-80 percent drop-off. I really wish people would look into these things a lot more before calling a game dead because by that metric, Elden Ring is currently a dying game. Games that don't employ scummy tactics just means people will play them at their own pace. Now about the game, really isn't a major grind to get the good weapons, you can finish any warbond (except the big one) in casual gameplay. Like yeah sure, I do have 500 hours in the game but also a good chunk of that is testing weapons, loadouts and just having fun solo without trying to get specific resources. Like the game is built to allow you to make progress at your own pace. You only need about 300-400 medals to get every item in a warbond that is directly relevant to gameplay like weapons and boosters. You will passively collect medals during down time between their releases and now with the increased time window, you'll also more easily collect the super credits needed and also get the medals for cosmetics. The only way the game isn't that casual friendly is honestly just because the game is tactical. It's meant to make you think strategically and work together to succeed and people are just viewing it like it's some kind of mindless horde shooter which gets them killed.

@@Shoco21 calling it dying is still a case of you probably needing to look into the trends of games. This is perfectly normal and expected for a no-fomo game. We still haven't seen Cyberstan and we KNOW they'll add more formal events in the future. Also, I don't think I ever accused you of calling it dead, I just said why I think it was an odd pick for a video about the topic of dead games. My point was only that calling it dying is inaccurate.

Well...I bought starfield. And I did beat the main story, as well as a few of the major side quests. And honestly, I think it didn't do well for a large quantity of reasons. I think the leveling system forcing you to complete arbitrary tasks unrelated to the skill you wanted to upgrade hurt alot. As well as the lockpicking system functioning more like fallout rather than skyrims. I think much of the game is too easy, even on it's hardest dificulty. And the space combat, which is the games hardest trial, can be bypassed simply by fast traveling. But the worst part of all, is that the game has exactly 13 radiant locations that can show up on planets, this not including quest specific ones of which there were about 30 or so. (Don't quote me on that metric). But 13 tiny areas, the size of a room or 2 in most other games, is depressing and leaves alot to be desired. There's alot more, and this is coming from someone who kind of likes the game. I wish I knew how to mod to just fix most of the issues that seems so simple and probably are

OK no, Helldivers 2 is not dead (yet), it's more like it's actually getting to its natural and intended numbers after a massive strike of hype and "trend players" joining. The way the game is built is reminiscent of the first Helldivers, and that game was made to be played in short sessions and carry on with your life, not to be there stuck for hours grinding and farming like all those live service games do. In fact, Helldivers 2 is so casual, you don't even need to participate on the campaigns to get rewarded (I've logged in after a month of inactivity and got a lot of medals rewarded, but since I don't have a warbond to use them they will just rot there for a while). The main issue with the game is that it's a bloody mess right now, a lot of weapons feel useless, there's bugs (as in, errors and annoyances in the game) that hinder the experience (for example, I've had myself blown away from the center of the map to a very far point outside it, being labeled a traitor and with no way to get back my gear because o this), and balancing issues that the developer is currently addressing. So as I said, the game is not dead yet, but if they don't fix these issues, it will definitely die.

@@Shoco21 Yeah but what I'm trying to say is that it's not fair to consider it on this list, mostly because it's massive player numbers were an anomaly; an unexpected strike of hype and popularity. The OG Helldivers community was small, and I think right now it's on it's realistic numbers with all the trend players gone. That being said, they better try and fix things up or they will lose those players too. By the way, Pal World is a similar case, and I'm impressed you didn't include it.

Helldivers 2 literally has like 200k players on new content updates. The cope is huge. I think the main reason for the big drop in players is more likely the sheer number of people who seems to think Helldivers 2 is meant to be some kinda easy mode power fantasy where you are a one man army by virtue of existing but it's a tactical game meant to foster teamwork and strategy. People just got mad when the easy mode guns got nerfed into being more balanced for that kind of game. It has 60k players on Steam alone whenever new content drops and even though it's been over a month since then, there is currently 10k players on a weekday at a time where most people are either at work or sleeping. Nearly 30k in the 24 hour peak.

In the past 5 days I saw a peak of 50k+ players at once. And also you know it's summer time and people on their summer time do this strange thing called "going on vacantion". I know is strange but it's a real thing

I really enjoyed the game until helldivers 2 extended the level cap and added more ship modules that can only be unlocked through SAMPLES. Which gonna be real collecting samples i think takes away from actually having fun in the game. I wish the game focused on doing more weapon drops that were actually balanced properly and added other pieces of content instead of adding a new ship module to grind or a new level to work towards.

This might be partially because you're misframing farming for samples a little bit. If you go into Difficulty 6, you can find every tier of sample rn. Aside from Super Samples, you don't need to go out of your way to look for the others. Just play the game normally and you'll have hundreds of both commons and rares. Even supers you'll eventually just stumble upon while playing casually.
