    Helldivers 2 had zero advertising that I saw and it slaps.

    Cyberpunk might have actually delivered on its promises if they spent half of their advertising budget on the dev team instead of billboards.

        It has a seemingly active community on Lemmy of all places, their posts frequently show up in my feed. What triple A game has this? Although I’m not interested in it too and they banned my country for a reason, I’m guilty in looking how to buy it.

      Most of my exposure to HD2 before picking it up was either streamers playing it or people complaining they couldn’t play it because the servers were well over capacity.

      It was showcased in Sony State of Plays (what felt like) most of last year but it didn’t really wow anyone from them other then existing Helldivers fans. Even if a game is what people want, someone has to play it first to spread the word. Among Us is a great example of that.
