Helldivers 2 negative reviews: Game is being review-bombed once again
Helldivers 2 is facing renewed review bombing on Steam as players express frustration over a persistent issue with its Mega-City defence mode. Arrowhead Game Studios' third-person action game, Helldivers 2, has received mixed recent reviews following complaints about the inability to complete the Equality-on-Sea defence mission. This marks the latest chapter in the game's rocky relationship with its community. Helldivers 2 getting review bombed again on Steam — Pirat_Nation 🔴 (@Pirat_Nation) May 29, 2025 Despite Helldivers 2's strong launch in 2024 and regular content updates, including the praised Galactic War live-service mode, the game has been review-bombed multiple times. Previous criticisms focused on weapon balance and controversy surrounding a mandatory PlayStation Network requirement. The latest backlash centres on the defence of Super Earth's final two Mega-Cities. Players attempting to hold Equality-on-Sea report that progress consistently caps just below 100 per cent at 99.9783 per cent. The commies are review bombing Helldivers 2 on steam — 🏴☠️W3ND1G0🏴☠️🪶🟧 (@2A_W3ND1G0) May 30, 2025 Some players interpreted this as an artificial block preventing completion. However, the game's design means the defence mission cannot reach full completion while the Illuminate continuously invade until the time limit expires. This issue has driven many negative reviews, dropping Helldivers 2's recent Steam rating to "Mixed." The frustration comes despite the "Heart of Democracy" update, which introduced these Mega-City defences and led to a notable increase in player numbers. Helldivers 2 players review bombing the game because they don't understand how the current event works — CodeNamedFerret (@CodeNamedFerret) May 29, 2025 Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani has reassured fans that Helldivers 2 remains a priority, even as the studio develops a new project codenamed "Game 6." For now, players continue to defend Super Earth and engage with ongoing content, awaiting fixes and future updates.

Baldur's Gate 3 publisher criticices Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4, calls it gross
Michael Douse, publishing director of Larian Studios, has criticised Gearbox Software boss Randy Pitchford over his recent remarks on the pricing of the upcoming Borderlands 4, calling them 'gross' amid ongoing cost-of-living concerns. Pitchford sparked backlash after suggesting that 'real fans' would 'find a way' to purchase Borderlands 4 even if it launched at an $80 price point — a significant increase compared to typical game costs. He cited paying $80 for a Sega Genesis game 30 years ago as justification, a claim many see as out of touch with current economic realities. Douse, whose studio developed Baldur's Gate 3, called Pitchford's comment 'gross.' on social media: 'Inflation exists (we give inflation bumps for example to employees) and price increases can make sense, but saying 'real fans will find a way' is gross because it assumes your game is more important during a cost of living crisis than, for example, making it day to day.' He added: 'Real fans are people who love & understand what you do, keep track, and engage with your stuff regardless of how much they spend.' Inflation exists (we give inflation bumps for example to employees) and price increases can make sense, but saying "real fans will find a way" is gross because it assumes your game is more important during a cost of living crisis than, for example, making it day to day. — Very AFK (@Cromwelp) May 20, 2025 When asked whether Baldur's Gate 3 would ever have an $80 price tag, Douse said even if it did, 'we would probably not suggest people do whatever they can to buy it, lest they not be real fans.' Neither publisher 2K Games nor parent company Take-Two Interactive have confirmed the final price of Borderlands 4, due for release this September. However, Pitchford's comments have already stirred discontent among fans, with some resorting to review-bombing the Borderlands series on Steam amid concerns over new user agreements. The $80 price point, if confirmed, would place Borderlands 4 among the most expensive mainstream video games, prompting broader discussions about affordability and value in the gaming industry during challenging economic times.
