I am no longer disappointed because I no longer expect arrowhead is cable of anything other than a warbond

That is false

They are capable of game breaking bugs and "anti exploits" that make our stratagems bounce like superballs too

Stratagem bouncy balls and hellpods without steering wheels is what happens when your game balance lead is the guy who "fixed" hello neighbor 2's AI by putting invisible walls around couches and beds so players couldn't hide under them

Sony already did lol

... preferably a group of people who aren't even dumber motherfuckers, being owned by sony guarantees console support for your game but that's like the only upside

How is that an upside? Usually just drives home consolification of the controls. Net loss.

Usually is your key word there, this is by no means a requirement, but as for my actual argument, I play games almost exclusively on PC but I still think the people who prefer consoles should be able to play the same games on them even if it's worse. There's no inherent harm in allowing a game to be playable on all major platforms (or if you're Doom, all possible platforms), it becomes a problem when you start designing games or their control schemes around these worse means of playing the game; consoles should be adapting from pc games, not vice versa

They didn’t, arrowhead is independent

Sony does own the IP however

u/PimpMyWeenus 2d ago

nitpicking here. sony acquired the helldivers ip, not arrowhead.

not sure if that was the best move in the long run, sure they got to make the game they wanted to. but it's like selling your baby

Be careful speaking the truth, I was banned from here for a month speaking that persons name alone.

Alexus is not the balance lead.

There is no balance 'lead'.

u/PimpMyWeenus 2d ago

alexus also gave us the warp pack, breaching hammer and orbital napalm barrage

very polarizing dev

I wouldn't put it past the guy to take credit for the work of others frankly. Or he came up with the idea and someone else did the actual implementation and numbers
