The new Helldivers 2 Major Order was smashed through in under a day, but some players are concerned the game wasn't tracking Terminid kills correctly.

The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order is live, and it simply tasks Super Earth's soldiers with squishing two billion Terminids in right around six days.

Helldivers 2's popularity is still sky-high, but more and more demands have been flooding in lately for developer Arrowhead to put a greater focus on squashing bugs rather than adding new content, something which the devs have pointed out isn't exactly straightforward. It's rather ironic, really, given the game's massive focus on killing democracy-hating bugs.

The Helldivers 2 community is a unique place, with more players boasting the ability to commit to the bit than perhaps anywhere else on the internet. It's not at all unusual to see fans refusing to communicate in any other way than with an unwavering patriotism towards Super Earth and a deep desire to spread Managed Democracy, essentially role-playing real-life Helldivers even outside the game. 

Helldivers 2's ongoing Major Order has commanded soldiers to finally squash the mechanized Automatons on the western front, but unfortunately, frequent crashes threaten to jeopardize the weekend's operation, and one developer recommends letting the game "rest." 

The developers behind Helldivers 2 didn't expect many players to join the assault on the Automatons, but surprisingly, a whopping 70% of the player base joined the fight for tyrannical democracy. 

Using one of the best Helldivers 2 weapons is a necessity in your quest to defend Super Earth, especially as you reach the highest Helldivers difficulty levels.

One of PSVR2's best loved, and best supported, games is C-Smash VRS, a virtual reality revival of the Dreamcast cult classic Cosmic Smash. Launching last summer, the sci-fi spin on racket sports has enjoyed several post-launch updates that add new features and improve the experience. Soon, a major update will make the game accessible to many more players; it's getting a regular, flat version, playable on PS5 without a headset.

A few weeks back, PGL announced its hardware of choice for its upcoming CS2 Major Tournament which included systems with AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPUs and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPUs but it looks like things didn't go as planned as a driver crash associated with the GPU became the very reason of one team's chances of going into the playoffs being washed away.

Capcom has responded to Dragon's Dogma 2 players complaining about performance issues on PC, and the game's microtransaction purchases.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has received its first update in more than a year, and it finally squashes a pesky bug that players have been saddled with for far too long.

Helldivers 2 is full of powerful weapons to smash up bots and squash bugs, ranging from satisfying firearms to explosive orbital strikes that often do more harm to you and your team than the actual enemies. Out of them all, though, one weapon stands out to game director Johan Pilestedt for having the best design.

An Elden Ring streamer has lost a difficult permadeath challenge run in what's probably the unluckiest way possible, after getting tragically killed during a pee break and losing 11 hours of progress.

Cyberpunk 2077 has a new update, and it's available to download now on PS5. Patch 2.12 has dropped with almost no warning, but that's probably because it's a fairly minor release. Its most important alterations are to do with PC-specific issues, but there are still a handful of fixes that apply to PS5 players.

Arrowhead Studios previously announced that the team is working on a balance patch for co-op shooter Helldivers 2, but doing so has proven to be trickier than expected since weapons with higher kill rates don't always lead to successful missions.

Though Helldivers 2 has been a hit, its launch has been anything but smooth. Various bugs, glitches, and server issues forced Arrowhead Games to temporarily cap the possible number of concurrent players.

Elden Ring, Sekiro, and the Dark Souls trilogy can be darkly comedic at times when grueling boss battles are cut short by unbelievably bad luck or when enemies ragdoll after giving you a fine beating. But the games' creative director doesn't aim to make these games "funny," which kinda makes them funnier.

Rocksteady Studios and Warner Bros. are trying to contain Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueleaks, including major story spoilers and unannounced playable characters, as details on next year’s game spread across the internet.
