SG 152 | HELLDIVERS 2 + XBOX DECIDE SU FUTURO & ACTUALIDAD
Episode notes
Sector Gaming devotes much of the episode to Helldivers 2. It first discusses the unexpected success of Arrowhead’s co-op game, its initial accessibility, the increasing difficulty, and the role of its PlayStation and PC release. It then offers an extensive assessment of its PvE proposal: its satirical tone, missions against aliens and robots, team play, stratagems, friendly fire, exploration, and progression that they consider removed from pay to win. They also highlight its global events, sound design, and Spanish voice acting, although they note that higher difficulties can become challenging solo.
In current affairs, the show criticizes the repetition and incomplete ending of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It reviews leaks and announcements about Xbox’s strategy: games on other platforms, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, a future console, and a possible handheld. It also covers Sony’s plans for PC, cancellations and layoffs at Embracer Group, sales of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and an auction related to the next The Witcher. The episode ends by announcing an in-person Sector Gaming event in Barcelona.
