Helldivers 2 has sold more than 12 million units across PS5 and PC so far. By this time, it should be nearing around $500 million in gross revenue, making it the fastest-selling PlayStation game ever. We couldn't miss this incredible game on the podcast, so we played it in a special episode. Read the rundown here. Arrowhead Game Studios started originally with Magicka in 2011, but you could clearly see its impact on Helldivers 2. This specific combination input is used in both this game and Helldivers 1 & 2 (as seen in the image). Magicka is a coop 4-player adventure game where you go through the story with your friends, where fun is driven by spell combinations with its special button input and accidental friendly fire. This formed the basis for Arrowhead's success formula. As you can see from this point on, they are mastering this expertise of a "4 player coop friendly fun game" The studio continued this similar setup with Gauntlet in 2014 which is again a 4 player coop game and then Helldivers 1 in 2015 which again is a 4 player coop game. Nearly all of the mechanics/ lore and theme greatly translated from Helldivers 1 to Helldivers 2. Except that it is no more isometric view, but a 3rd person view. A similar shift was done when Warcraft 3 was translated into World of Warcraft. By 2024, the studio now has 13 years of genre expertise in their unique genre, where they pretty much did a 4th game with the same overall setup. Therefore the success of Helldivers 2 is no accident, as it can be seen on the surface. Similarly how Larian Studios did the first entry into their Divinity RPG series already in 2002 and then used all those 21 years of experience and 6 released RPGs to create the giant success of Baldur's Gate 3. Helldivers 2 is also a hard-earned victory for Arrowhead, after a long time of mastering their genre expertise.

Highest Leaps Of Faith in Assassin's Creed #REDHEADGAMINGSTUDIOS #SKULLpturedGaming #PS4 #Ps4Pro #PS5Share #PS5 #gaming #xbox #gamers #playstation #videogaming #xboxone #walkthroughs #videogames #videogame #youtube #youtubegaming #Pc #Pcgame #pcgaming #Pcgamer

Is my level high enough? I kept asking myself as I went through the game Assassin's Creed Origins. Now for context, the previous Assassin's Creed games were 'easier' Why? There was no level system. I was able to take down any enemy if I knew the combo that worked against them. So even if I faced an army, I would smile and wipe them out. But AC origins was based on levelling up. Suppose you are level 10, there is no way you can defeat a level 20 enemy. The only way was to grind and level up. I learned it the hard way when I started the game. I was smashed to bits by high-level enemies. So I meticulously levelled up for each mission. As I went on, I found out something else. You don't have to be on the exact level for the mission as per the game recommendation. You could 2-3 levels down and still ace the mission. So I started doing that. My brutal failures started turning into wins. I even took down one of the toughest opponents in the game while being a level below him. (I had some help from an NPC which was a pleasant surprise - That's the story for another time) It's true with life too. You don't have to be "ready perfect". In fact you will never be perfectly ready. You don't have to be on the same level as some "recommendations" You can try if you have the skills (even if you are not an expert ) and a strategy (even if it is not perfect). If you feel like you need to gain a few more levels before you begin your mission, leap into it right now. Your level is plenty high enough. Once you start, you will see your path(s) leading to success. #DJSP #game #levellingup

It will come as no surprise that I am a fan of #starwars, primarily the trilogy of Episodes 4,5&6. Perhaps more than most, it and the era of 70s and 80s #scifi had a big impact on my childhood and beyond. There are obvious clues - a career in #spacecraft operations and #robots serving human needs being foremost! But there are more subtle influences too. The films display the power of storytelling that Lucas and team used at a time of self doubt in the US psyche. It shows what can be done when a team align behind #visionary #leadership, particularly that of the underdogs and outsiders (the films’ narrative, but also how they were made). And there are some remarkable business lessons too. I’d always said that #TheEmpireStrikesBack is my favourite of the original trilogy. Did you know it wasn’t directed by George Lucas, but he #delegated arguably the most important project of his career to Irvin Kershner, whose experience with character driven storytelling brings depth to the trilogy? Did you know that Lucas #funded the project personally and via bank loans based on the merchandise revenue he had secured making Star Wars, giving him almost complete artistic authority without behind beholden to the studios? Did you know that he #marketed Star Wars by finding someone who lived and breathed the fans’ world of sci-fi and comics (read about Charles Lippincott here https://lnkd.in/e_y3sjEZ )? Lucas did this using businesses he started ( Industrial Light & Magic , Lucasfilm ). Not much more relevant to a successful business leader of one of the most successful startups ever than #vision, #delegation, #funding and #marketing / #productmarketfit !!! So whether you are just going to enjoy the films, reminisce, or explore the history of #starwars filmmaking, #MayThe4thBeWithYou
