Helldivers 2 (Arrowhead, PS5/PC, 2024) (NEW UPDATE WITH NEW ENEMY OUT NOW)

[Rekkapryde]

Helldivers 2 can be addictive AF. Loving this game already. You are better off playing with your friends than playing solo

Watching couple of videos, the gameplay looks real smooth

Yeah, it's smooth but sometimes you would get connection lost but it's expected on launch day. I'm sure they gonna fix it and update it.

I think the big difference narratively between this and starship is this game implies that humans are actually the villains of the galaxy and they are using civilians of earth as cannon fodder. It’s almost mocking how overly patriotic ST is

That's actually the story of the film and novel. Hell, you don't even "see" an alien until near the end of the book. Before then all the information about them and their activities that you're getting is curated from an extremely biased lens.

"Would you like to know more?"

How is this running on PS5? Anybody noticing frame dips? I see that bad boy is only $40, so I might still go ahead and grab it on PC.

I’m loving this so far. It is a lot more to the game then killing aliens.

If you press square with your weapon you can change the scope range, rpm, burst, semi, auto and enable a flashlight on the weapon.

I like the idea of doing commands to activate strategems and satellites, etc. feels like it adds more strategy to the game.

The novel actually plays it straight. The whole story is Johnny Rico only becoming a man when he serves in the military and kills aliens. Rico's dad is angry when his son joins up, but a few years later, he also joins and straight up tells his son that he was angry because his son was more of a man than he was and so he had to join too.

The film is definitely anti-militarization, though. Paul Verhoeven got halfway through the book and hated it so much that he specifically made the movie a mockery of the book's pro-militarization, pro-fascist stance.

If Robert Heinlein were alive, he'd be angry tweeting about Helldivers taking after the movie version of his book.

Also, I can't believe Helldivers is getting this much hype and excitement.

So is this a cop or not? Y'all just say the word.
