Helldivers 2 - Hell is more diverse than ever as PlayStation's demographics continue to grow and change.

I know the devs aren't god but I hope they would at least reach out to the poor guy.

As someone who comes from DRG, I find the lack of teamplay on a teamplay game annoying.
It's hard to communicate unless you're with friends, I noticed most people just pick an objective and go for it. Only a handful times have I encountered someone who pings where they want to go.
But it's not like the game encourages it. DRG has classes and even in a solo game you are not solo (Bosco).

It's a PVE game. It doesn't need balance. Half of the fun is shitting all over robots and bugs. Whenever they "accidentally" unbalance the game it's even more fun.

Unbalanced as in "shit and unfun". Half the weapons in the game get almost zero usage because the devs never touch them to make them viable.

Once a weapon becomes too useful or gets used too much the devs nerf the shit out of it, to the point people were actively telling them NOT to nerf a new rifle called the Coyote once it dropped and was found to be super fun.

The devs said "Okay we won't " then nerfed fire damage across the board instead, which not only harmed the Coyote (as it had a fire damage effect), but like 6 other guns and stratagems as well kek.

People were pissed, given the devs basically lied about it and played coy.

With opsec that atrocious, bro was asking to get phonebook-raped by reddit trannies. He may not have deserved it, but he was definitely asking for it. Suffer redditors.

I can't really blame him for not expecting that his charity post would make reddit retards so angry they ruin his life.

 

[Paranoia Machine]

As in they'd literally trample the Helldivers because something sneezed behind the Guard's line causing them to break ranks and flee blindly, their Commissar firing at their retreating backs in a futile attempt to maintain squad cohesion...

On the open battlefield in sheer numbers, sure, but they're not gonna fare much better than a SEAF trooper when shit gets eyeball-to-eyeball.

For some odd reason I find myself doubting that 9 normal ass half-starved dudes with dogwater lasguns are going to roflstomp 4 6' 10" juiced up spec-ops guys wielding mininukes and backpack shields.

Tell me you don't know anything about 40k without telling me you don't know anything about 40k.
Right, lets put this myth to bed.

A guardsman in 40k isn't just some dick with a gun, it can be, but a lot of times that's not the case. A guardsman is the rank and file soldiers beneath Astartes Space Marines and more heavily specified units.
As such, Guardsmen consist of recruits from the galaxy over that are not just Earth recruits.
Here are a couple of examples.


These are the Catachan Jungle Fighters.
They colonized a jungle planet that is teeming with countless types of hostile fauna that is significantly more volatile than anything Helldivers have ever seen. On top of living in the heavy metal version of Pandora from Avatar mixed with Vietnam, they have consistently fought off hordes of Tyranids (Basically the fucking ZERG) and fought Orks off effectively with Guerilla Warfare tactics and superior fighting force; they are basically an entire planet-army of Rambo from First Blood and Dutch from Predator that literally out-Ork'd the Orks.


These are the Death Korps of Krieg.
Their shtick is that they tried to break off from the Imperium a long time ago. The Imperium didn't like that, so they nuked the planet of Krieg until they decided they wanted to rejoin. By that time, the planet was irreparably changed forever, becoming near-uninhabitable and forcing its people into underground bunkers and most of them having to wear specialized masks that keep them safe from the radiated and toxic environment above. How does this matter? Their entire culture became penitent and now serve as one of the Militarum's best siege regiments because of their devotion to the cause. Each one is trained to be a battlefield martyr if they need to be, ready to give their lives in the name of penitence for The Emperor if it means a strategic win. To top things off, most of them are born in Vitae Wombs using the genetic samples of previous Krieg soldiers. This means they are literally churning out millions of soldiers a day and training them from childhood to die for the emperor. To top things off, they fight the forces of chaos on the regular. Literal demons on top of the xenos out there.



These are the Kasrkins of Cadia
Cadia was a planet located in The Eye of Terror, a massive rift in space that leaked pure chaos into the world, corrupting everything in its path. In 40k chaos corrupts absolutely and possesses humans or tuns them into demons. Cadia fought off the constant attacks against them for millenia before the 13th Black Crusade that finally caused Cadia to collapse. When Cadia was finally invaded by unrelenting waves of Mutant Chaos soldiers, Chaos Marines, and literal demon ground forces, The Cadian Guardsmen fought back against the fall for five years with no real reinforcements due to a multi-galaxy campaign stretching forces thin. The already battle-hardened Cadian Guardsmen were already some of the best the Militarum had, but the Kasrkins were the elite of the Cadians. The actual F.I.L.O. motherfuckers that when Guardsmen were stumbling and freezing, they stood and fought back, keeping cool under what are basically the forces of hell.


They may not have the most advanced arsenals in the world, but they are undeniably better, more skilled soldiers in every regard. And compared to the below

I'm not just gassing them up because I think they're sick, Helldivers are quite literally super soldiers by definition.

A lot of guard regiments come from actual eugenics plus survival-of-the-fittest tier planets where they fight things a million times more dangerous, horrifying, and all-encompassing than The bugs, bots, and cyborgs that Helldivers have trouble combating.
The best eugenics of Super Earth would get stomped by the hearty survivors of Cadia, Catachan, or Krieg. The only comparable threat they deal with is the Illuminate and even they are more tame compared to some of the things the Militarum has come across.

MOD EDIT: Full summary:

hey @Dr Naomi Hunter I couldn't help but notice that your summary his highly based on you not knowing how to play the fucking game and is filled with inaccuracies (sorce: skill issue)

 

[Cybork]

I remember this game being the shit and a half for a good while, what made it go downhill? TL DR?

There are already some good comments after yours explaining how the devs nerf every fun loadout the community finds like they were a dickless Karen.

Which is bad enough, but they also buff enemies to make them more annoying too.

There was this amazing looking dune worm boss released. a youtuber found out you could kill it solo in like a minute with staffing runs. they are a less powerful strategem. If you dont play the game, a strategem is basically your ultra. clearly they wanted players to struggle against this boss, so they buffed it to now needing a full team coordinating for 10 to 15 minuted to kill it. which would be fine, but its not an objective to kill the boss. so most view it as a waste of resources and time, and this thing can easily wipe teams while you are forced to stand still at actual objectives. you dont coordinate loadouts as a team, you are fucked.

There were these sky whales they ruined even more, but in a similar way. Then tons of buffs to small enemies. like the chaff enemies used to kill you in 4 to 8 hits. now everything kills you in 1 to 2. and the bug chaff can lunge at you from across the fucking map. they also made aiming slower and made every hit destroy your accuracy for seconds.

Tldr: the devs in charge of balancing are faggots which likely dont even playtest their own game. leading to the aforementioned communtiy issued challenge.

Yeah that sounds like they just purposely fuck up everything on their accidentally successful game. Thanks though bro, appreciate it.

those meatballs are half lucky they made a good game, half not because it's just the MGSV co op we never truly had but with bugs and yellow stripes. they simply couldn't resist the urge to swede it up and make shit nobody is happy with

body type? yeah, that's what i thought, it's bitch-made for little bitches.

i'm sorry it doesn't matter how big the tits are it's still oriental shlock

Sometimes I forget that there are adults born after 2004 because the rhetoric is very obviously lifted from the Bush era. Not saying this about you in particular but a lot of people have tried to torture the setting as into a commentary on today’s world when the democratic handwringing, hyper patriotism, implicit but never expressed race-egalitarianism, glorification of the consumer economy, is all lifted almost word for word from the GWoT. People forget that one of the first and most memorable things Dubya told Americans after 9/11 was to go shopping. Super Earth is what would happen if Dick Cheney became the immortal machine-God of NATO.

I am an euroid and while some jokes are clearly GWOT bush type the rest is very obvious spoofing how the EU does PR and propaganda. The shipTV videos are animated like european propaganda, the rhetoric sounds very much european (love)
Even the damn license plates on cars are european.
I'm not sure if "managed democracy" is laughing at electoral college or the weird shit we do cause its never really expanded beyond "we choose for you!"

Maybe i am just zoomer and not american but to me it's obviously supposed to be "fascist EU"

Also helldivers works because the world is both wide enough and narrow enough for a filthy casual like me to get whats going on

AND

those meatballs are half lucky they made a good game, half not because it's just the MGSV co op we never truly had but with bugs and yellow stripes. they simply couldn't resist the urge to swede it up and make shit nobody is happy with

difficulty 10 isn't that fucking hard, in fact, what frustrates me is that there is no apparent difference from 8-10. On 10 i get EVEN LESS tank units. I prefer to play the ridiculously impossible difficulty because, yeah, it's all about cheesing it but man does it feel awesome to win ONE objective. Vox engines can eat shit, they have the firepower of 4 factory striders and spawn more often than factory striders. They are more finnicky to kill and the "intended" way is practically impossible. my current tactic is hide under one and wait for the rest to nuke it trying to kill me.
also all the damn glitches are just frustrating. Some missions aren't beatable, at all, you just can't beat it.

Space King > current year 40k

 

[Tanaka Naoki]

I got into the game like two weeks ago and really have been charmed by it, especially because I have friends to play with, but fuck this makes me worry about the long term health of the game.

 

[Resident Knievel]

Space King > current year 40k

Piss > shit

 

[Gay Sex Enjoyer]

Piss > shit

I'll do both directly into your mouth. Let me have this.

 

[Gimmick Account]

While I love the fuck out of EDF games, a fair word of warning if anyone picks up 4 or beyond.

If you expect to complete/platinum/100%achievements it, good fucking luck. Even if you know the armor grind tricks, actual completion can easily go into the 1000+ hour range.

My advice to anybody who cares about trophies in videogames is to kill yourself.

But yeah the drop system in 5/6 is a little dumb and getting a mod that auto-collects shit on the floor when you end a level isn't a bad idea, if you're playing singleplayer. It's not a huge deal but the vanilla system incentivises either grinding early stages or leaving one ant alive while you run around looting, which is silly and anticlimactic.

 

[Jason Warhammer]

Your thing is lame and gay and that's okay

Anything with the slight hint of masculinity will be trooned out, lame and gay by 2030. We have not even scratched the surface of nigger trannies ruining shit yet.

in our life time, enjoying any franchise will be considered fucking troonslop, and we will end up reverting to tilling fields by hand just capture a slight hint of untainted dopamine.
