Sony is forcing people to link their steam account to PSN if you want to play Sony games. Kind of lame considering Sony has been getting hacked since I was an infant. Don't buy it until Sony changes their mind. Also, boycott Sony products while you're at it.

EDIT: Spelling fixes. Also, even after they went back on their word for forcing PSN accounts to be made, they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. I will not change my review until everyone can buy the game regardless of whether you are able to make a PSN account or not. Not only was Sony originally a Japanese company, but they made the Japanese be unable to play this game. Kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up imo. I will proceed to boycott Sony products, and will likely uninstall Helldivers 2.

EDIT 2: As of 6/14/25 (the day I learned about the recent changes on region locking), I will be changing this to a positive review. Here's why I think this game has improved severely since my original posting of this review:
It's gained a lot of replayability with the addition of the Illuminate, city maps, and plenty of new weapons and warbonds. On top of that, weapon customization and the upcoming armor customization has been a joy to tinker with (allowing me to use guns I otherwise wouldnt use due to aesthetic differences to my current kit). My only complaint would be either the cost of warbonds OR the amount of super credits you find on the map while playing. I don't grind as much as my friends do because I have other games I want to play as well, but from what I hear it's just a me problem, so I'll let it be a minor complaint. Otherwise, this game has improved greatly and has been a lot of fun to start playing again as of lately.
