UPDATE MY FELLOW HELLDIVERS: We have avenged our fallen brothers and took back the Creek 🫡 however… the Automatons have retaliated with brand new combat vehicles, and planets have gotten deadlier!
God I love these developers dude
NOW COME JOIN THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY BABY i0
THEY HAVE DRONES NOW HELLDIVER! JUST USE BRUTE FORCE AND THE WILL OF A HELLDIVER TO SUBMIT THEM TO THEIR GOD.
amen brother
Our brothers have not died in vein!!! They shall be remembered!!! FOR SUPER EARTH!!!!!
Well…time to scrap them again I’ve not fought against the bugs, my first Helldive was on Malevelon creek, I cut my teeth on steel and oil, while you fought unthinking insects!

i dont think we're the bad guys because the ministry of truth told us we're doing the right thing, and the ministry of truth would never lie to us

Kelski "Helldivers 2 is a game for everyone."
Sony: "Oh, sh!t; our bad! We'll fix that right away."
did they changed something in game?
I am convinced that the Community manager is a freaking legend. He said, "Hey, if you don't like it, put a negative review on the game."
This is followed by the entire Helldivers community, raising enough of a fit to get Sony, _Sony_ to bend an ear to listen to us and walk back the PSN decision.
So, this comment is outdated. In the best sense possible.
I purposely buy microtransactions for helldivers 2 so the developers can fund their Warhammer 40k addictions.
Can't blame them 😅
Hahahahaha
Bro, I’ve spent so much in this game already 😂
That’s awesome lol
o7 Super Earth appreciates your investment 🌍
I think a huge part of helldivers success is that a lot of people feel like its a game made for them SPECIFICALLY, and with no compromises, which I think is what’s missing in the mainstream space.
exactly. this whole concept of appealing to as many people as possible and dumbing down game mechanics just never, ever goes well
developers need to accept the fact that they can’t please everyone, and just make better, more focused experiences
@@kel_ski Arrowhead says "A game for everyone is a game for no one." And they get praise for it. I say "The average of everyone's wants at once is bland grey mush." and I get called a fat angry old redditor and get told to go back to my troll cave. I'm bitter about it.

I love that this game has trivial and easy difficulties. I'll argue that the intensity of trivial and easy by comparison to high difficulty is not lost for people who are not able to keep up so well like they used to. My mom is this person. Strongest woman on this planet in my eyes. She became disabled due to an accident a patient caused in the back of her ambulance, and she forgave the patient's behavior that caused her permanent disability. While healing from 4 major corrective surgeries, breast cancer and kidney cancer showed up. This woman faced both and is still here to kick my ass around, but it took its toll on her. Going from a highly active lifestyle to permanently broken and disabled... Deeply sucks. She started isolating and detaching. The boys and I decided to buy her video games. They gave her a new life, and video games and gaming together became the social glue that reconnected our family and holds us together. Every holiday is a big Lan party at mom and dad's house. My lovely mom is about to cross the 80 years old age, and she can't keep up like she used to, but dammit she still wants and deserves to play, too. Surely she can't keep up with us on higher difficulties, which is why I love the hell out of games like Helldivers and 7 Days to Die. Allowing that super easy difficulty where enemies can't run very well after you, they take time to deal damage to you, and isn't overwhelming in numbers... that's all insanely fun for folks like my mom. Y'all should see her getting all giddy and excited in her gaming computer chair as 2-4 bugs or automatons slowly walk towards her and frequently miss their shots at her. You can't put a price on that; it's simply priceless that my nearly 80 year old mom wants to helldive with us, and she can both enjoy the game and feel comfortable despite her age. I will gladly sink more money into Helldivers. The devs have absolutely earned my hard earned cash.
If y'all have made it this far, thank you so much for reading about my mom's life. Cheers.
Very heartwarming, bless you all
God bless, soldier
She doing she's part
May she live a long and exciting life!
Bless you, a sweet son.

In my honest opinion, the best game in recent years that TRULY understands what "fun" is
You know what breaks me?
In the last few years I've been taking a game developer/designer course. One the n°1 most important rules they taught me was: "The word FUN is banned in this class."
When designing anything about a game, remove the word fun from your vocabulary, (hence do not design anythng with the premise that it's because it's fun) because fun has no true definition and what is fun for me could not be for you.
And I get this. This is an objectively good reasoning, you must make a game thinking about the player that is going to play it.
But if I don't make the game planning for it to be *Fun*.
Then WHY.
Am I even.
Making a game.
The developers of Helldivers 2 have Clearly had "What can be the Most fun for our target player" as their focus question when making the game, wich has also been the principle that has led my group to always win in the micro-game jams of the course.
Also Lethal Company:
It outsold Most Triple A games.
Why?
It was designed with FUN as it's core goal: the Goofy Characters, the way the game is basically built as a Gag where you and your friends are the ones you laugh at
And most of all, no squeezing every last coin out of the players. If the game is Fun, they will gladly support it with their money on their own.
Aaand... sorry for dumping all this on you, 😅 My total agreement with your comment provoked everything out of me.
I hope whoever reads this could share my reflection on designing for fun with me
@@GlitchedHAL good luck on your study, man, you're the future of gaming
@@GlitchedHAL ok so that shit here people keep throwing it outsold AAA games.....what is a AAA game to you, team size, money put in, artistic realism? They had a 100 plus team making this game, thats AAA. 100 mil budget, thats AAA, so people just dont know what they are talking about. Also your course and teacher are full of shit, I have been making games for 20 years and no one has ever said that ever. You have a game idea, you mimick a few things done already in that genre and then think outside the box. Though if the core loop is not fun to you then how do you know its fun to others?!!!! Thats just fucking dumb.
@@GlitchedHAL
And now you know why 90% of courses in existence are a scam.
INCLUDING ACTUAL UNIVERSITY.
People teaching them are terminally detached from reality.
such a team oriented game (as soon as i figure droppods even came as a saving grace during clutch moments), unique playthrough w/ endless replayability (that game director + the freeroam approach to tackle objectives in your own volition), engaging (down to strategems and weapon safety/ammo managament amidst the chaos 😂), and its rewarding w/ no time wasted.
Can we take a minute to appreciate the music in this game? The slow build-up leading to the crescendo right when drop pods launch is the most heroic thing I've heard in a 4p coop game so far
I’ve been playing since release and still love it. So epic
If you like HD2 music you should listen to the CoD WW2 soundtrack. It’s made by the same dude I believe
This dude gets it! Why aren't more people praising the AWESOME music in this game?
Yeah it gives me goose bumps every time. The volume goes up as i enter a drop pod
Yes. A Cup Of Liber-Tea is a amazing music!
maaan you did a better job at convincing me to practice DEMOCRACY than any ad or video i've seen on helldivers. HELL YEAH!! DEMOCRACY BABYY!!!
All the hardcore shooter aspects are super nice. Reloading, and losing your remaining ammo, the friendly fire, the contact mines.....its so fun
I'm 29yo and I've been gaming since my youth - as most of us here.. Lately I couldn't get myself to play anything for any longer than 1-2 hours and sometimes I didn't even last that.. I bought Helldivers 2 completely out of nowhere - I barelly looked at any videos or streams or anything like that, a bit of a impulsive buy.. Over the last month I've spent around 160 hours in game and I can't even stop thinking about it. It's that good. The immersion, the fun moments, the challenge, the "no meta" mindset where you can equip nearly any equipment and you'll still get the job done, the devs being gamers... Everything fits together perfectly and I'm extremely glad I bought the game.. Hell, I even bought it for two of my friends for full price just because it's that good. And after that, I also upgraded to super-citizen edition because I just WANT to give my money to the devs. And that's what you get for making actually good game and not seeing your playerbase as walking wallets. Just keep doing what you're doing AH.
incredible comment sir 🤝 you’re doing your part!
Same here. This isn't a game for whales. This is a game (like you said) for gamers by gamers. More people will probably drop a few bucks a week/month. Not because they need the SCs. But because they deserve it. And this is honestly the only company I will be buying Micro-transactions from. Because that is what they ACTUALLY are. Micro. And people appreciate that and know if we support this, we WILL see this kind of purchase structure in other games. And I don't know why the biggest game companies don't understand this. Well they probably do but don't give a shit. Another reason to love Arrowhead. ❤️
I bought the super citizen edition because my friends had also done so and I hated not having the title next to my name. Then I saved up my blue money to buy the next teir of warbonds without actually spending any real money. I am getting close to being able to buy the next teir just playing the game and unlocking warbond pages. I never have to spend another penny on the game and can still unlock everything.
I feel the same. As 38 years old and have a family. I do not have time to play games as much.most games take hours to complete something and do not have the time for that. Or you pay a full price for a game and to compete you mist keep paying for the next skin or battlepass or else youre behind the rest. And also everything is copy paste. Helldivers feels like fun again. I can stil do my part if i only play 1 hour. That 1 hour has so much joy compared to other games like COD. This is how games should be. Go in have the time of youre life.
Man you are recounting my experience.
For me it was Baldur's gate 3 and now Helldivers 2
Those two games rekindled my love for gaming.
The community in Helldivers is also pretty great.
Lots of people are all in with the roleplay and the jokes, which makes for a lot of silly fun.
They also just seem genuinely happy to work together. I've been in plenty of lobbies where after a successful op, everyone hugs before logging off.
No words spoken for the 90 minutes of play time we spent together, but we're all brothers at the end.
Absolutely amazing.

"Did you know these screens had tips?" I dont remember it exactly but I legitimately laughed when i read that one
I know it's a meme at this point that we all joke about with the whole "I'm doing my part!", but that's really the secret sauce of this game. You feel like you're taking part in a large-scale effort and fighting for a cause, which no other title really provides at this point in time. You're not just playing a video game; you are contributing to an important task with tremendous stakes alongside thousands of others who share a common goal. And it's incredible fun at that.

Eagle airstrike my beloved
Remember, Freindly Fire builds character! So if someone slips and blows you to smithereens, turn the other cheek and laugh it off.
But for all, keep in mind these key concepts of strategem safety.
Orbital Strikes.
The Precision strike is precise, so you won't kill someone intentionally.
The 380mm barrage is one of the leading cause of friendly fire. The guaranteed safe distance is 60-70m.
The 120mm has a safe distance of 50m.
The Galting barrage's lethal radius is around 20m.
The airburst strike has a lethal raidus of 40m, it is a shotgun, so you can stay at 30m if you're lucky.
The Walking barrage moves forward, so you can walk under it.
Eagle strikes.
The Airstrike, Naplam Strike, and Cluster bomb are delivered perpendicular to the direction you throw it. Be wary that if it bounces, the direction is bounces will be treated as the direction thrown.
The strafing run and rocket pods are delivered parallel to the direction you throw it.
The rocket pods are precise, ans Eagle-1 will prioritize big targets, like Chargers and Bile Titans.
The 500kg bomb blast is a lot smaller than one would initially think.
To consistently kill Chargers with Hellpods, aim for their back, I have had the most luck there. I reccomend E-AT's for this. Because you can kill 3 chargers in one strategem! One with the pod, and two with the E-AT's!
12:34 The fact that the 500kg has a short detonation delay has given us so many fantastic clipable moments
I'm older, I've been gaming since the commodore 64 days. This game, such a simple game, is the most fun I've had in years. I don't communicate via a headset by choice, but only through my actions during gameplay and in any other game, I'd say that wouldn't work so well, but Helldivers nailed it.. Whatever the devs of this game are doing, they need to keep doing it, and future developers need to take notice.
Right? I don't even know if I'm that good at it but man I have a blast
I love how much this game brings people together
This game reminds me so much of made halo so fun. I love shooting down the dropships and watching their debris come down like the phantom.
These developers had fun in mind and that’s why this game is so awesome. Other games aren’t focused on fun nowadays, they are focused on being competitive, micro transactions movie games with no soul and hand holding. We need more games like palworld, lethal company and helldivers2 and I have a feeling the pendulum is swinging back now.
Winter Olympics ‘86 was my jam on the C64! I empathize with this hardcore. I haven’t had this much fun and even though I only get about 10 hrs per week being a Dad of 3, I still feel part of the community and rewards. Great job, Arrowhead!
Thanks for sharing, I don’t talk to strangers, I thought this would be like CS or something you have to turn on voice, I will give a try!
Me and 2 irl friends played this game, we havent played in a while so we hopped into a bug mission and immediately were beset by shriekers (those bastard flying bugs), which was something we didn't know about, it took nearly all of our reserves to deploy a hellbomb because we didnt realize we could blow the hive up with any form of artillery.
We finished that game by the skin of our teeth, and when we were finally back on the ship all of us were dead silent, if you know that one gif of the donkey kong gang having the 1000 yard stare whilst riding a minecart then you know how we felt.
It was the best time I've had this week.
You just KNOW a game is goated when it gives you ptsd.
10/10 'Nam simulator
My son and I had a similar experience to this. Those shriekers are no joke and though we didn't extract it felt so rewarding to just finish the main goal. This game is straight amazing!

I love that you were talking about malevelon creek being so crazy, and the devs literally added a cape dedicated to the meme, as an actual ingame lore explanation.
Dove off a cliff to escape a Bile Titan, fired my expendable rocket launcher in mid leap, landed next to a friendly corpse, dropped a reinforce beacon, picked up their machine gun and sample container, gave the bugs about half the box of ammo in one long burst, and got crushed by a Hellpod. Respawning player then got bathed in acid from the Bile Titan up on the cliff and died.

Not to mention how we players basically make the lore of the game, it only adds to the feeling of being part of smth bigger, and the way they've explained balance patches and the like by in-gaming budgeting cuts and all, is honestly brilliant.
The fact that you can pretty much just grind everything, and the only real stuff to by is the super citizen pack and boosters, which aren't even required and just well..boost, is beyond refreshing.

just wanted to back this up: i'm 60hours into the game and have like 1400super credits.. and i didnt even farm for those. we just played and sometimes have enough time to get the extras in the missions. so basicly what i'm saying is: i can already afford the next "battlepass" without having completed the free battlepass (arrived at the last tier yesterday tho)

Hey a creek crawler here. What I find so fascinating is that Arrowhead has understood with the monetization that it's not about taking money out of people's pockets, but rather about luring them to farm the currency in-game, which leads to a high number of farming players. The opportunity to buy stuff quickly with money is especially available for those who have to work a lot and therefore have less or no time to farm SC.

The ironic part about that first quote is that helldivers is remarkably accessible. It’s not easy, but there’s a ton of ways for new players to get better or be assisted, though most of that is team work based.
On an early level match I did, I joined these 3 dudes who were friends and they gave me a spare rover. Later, I joined a noobie and did the same. And the cool part is that this difficulty is also community driven. I could just neglect new players and be just as effective myself, but if we choose to guide them and help them, we can bolster a healthy community while also making the game accessible.

i have to be honest, i was a bit late to the game but that C-01 punishment really put the nail in the coffin. it makes it so clear that they are just messing around and having fun with the game and the players. The fact they didn't really mind the "good guy" hackers either as long as everyone involved was having fun was another one although i already had the game by then.
Not to mention how the entire community is basically just a large LARP at this point is freaking amazing
Well well well...thanks Sony!
They removed the PSN requirements....
WE WON!!!
Nearly 30 years later and OSTs from Banjo Kazooie and Bomberman Hero on the N64 are STILL being used. Honestly one of the peak era's for gaming music. Love it
bomberman hero has one of my favorite OSTs of all time. legendary game
The prophesied video is finally here and did not dissapoint
NOBLE, thanks for tuning in man 🙏 glad it was worth!
insane good video keep up the good work I laughed sooo harrrrddd
This did not age well, given the current status with Sony's decision to force players to make PSN accounts just to make the game playable
Now, you can make PSN account only if you have PS4 or PS5. They literally made HellDivers 2 a PS exclusive...
@@smihotvor2666they went off on that. They decided since so many people were getting mad and that they didn't want to and do it anymore
One of the best, funniest, and most immersive parts of the game is the fact that, by default, your helldiver is randomized every time you die. In-universe, you're not 'respawning', the corpse isn't yours, you're picking up the equipment left by the last guy. I watched this video with a huge grin, since this is the exact feeling I get when playing this. Great video. :D
0:58 That has to be the best video game trailer I've ever seen.

Im just gonna put this here, no sugar coating or anything.
This video genuinely made my view on helldivers 2 SO much better.
This video is made so well man. Keep up the amazing work dude, this video actually made me love the game far more.
(The montage at the beginning of the video is amazing
I literally cried at the end , so nostalgic 😅, the best Helldivers 2 video for sure 🫡🫡🫡
I wish people discovered the gem that was Hell Divers 1 years earlier. I loved that game and most people shrugged their shoulders and said they don't do top down shooters. I love the new Hell Divers 2 and am happy to see the franchise get the attention it finally deserves.
The crazy thing is that this game is on the same engine as the first game
Helldivers 1 was a hidden gem, a cult classic
Seeing Helldivers 2 blow up the way it has is gratifying, it's like people finally got to see what the game was all about and how fun it was
Helldivers 1 is fundamentally the same game, just with a different perspective. All of the wacky fun, narrative, and co-op moments were already there, and HD2 just built upon that and made it truly a sequel. It still holds up incredibly well today and I recommend it wholeheartedly to the newer Helldivers.

I’ve put 120 hours into this game (rookie numbers) and I LOVED EVER MINUTE of this review. It’s excellent. Your writing, the verbal presentation, editing, and comedic timing was impeccable and I found myself interested and busting out in laughter very frequently. This is easily the best 35 minutes I’ve spent on CZcams this year. And I’ve spent way too much time on CZcams. Great work!!
Felt the same dude :D
Very much agree with this sentiment. I was busting a gut and loved that you weren’t afraid to call the gaming industry these days what it is, “games made for pussies”😂
120 hours is not rookie numbers for a 2 months old game

Immaculately entertaining video, my guy
Kel_Ski! You had me snarf iced tea from my nose multiple time, Sir! First time in YEARS. Excellent video covering HD2. Well Done and Thank You.👏

I never played or saw Helldivers 2 before, but this is a great video, really well made. Nice cuts, nice memes, nice informations
thanks for watching 🙏 i knew i should’ve still explained the game even if im a lil late haha
@@kel_ski I heard everyone was talking about this game but I had no intentions to play it. Didn't know anything about it tbh, so when I heard you were going to make a video on it I just decided to wait for you to explain the game to me instead of looking it up lol. Keep up the great content! Can't wait for tomorrow's stream!
Join us! Do your part on the everlasting fight for galactic liberation!
@@ThunderPanzerand what did you learn?
Never knew about it but it looked good and then I discovered it's not on Xbox 😭
Game's great. I sure hope nothing bad happens with sony
Clueless
Haha, boy do I have some news for you...
That intro sequence went so unbelievably hard, ♾️/10 content right here
Your videos are extremely underrated man, you're the goat!
One thing worth mentioning about purchasing super credits, especially for the battlepasses, is that you can buy just the right amount. And for a reasonable cost. And it doesn't go away once the next pass is released.
You spend exactly the right amount of money to get the pass without it landing in an awkward middle ground of "this bundle is too small, this bundle is too big"
Companies do that as a tactic to get you to buy more credits. Look up "Fun bucks" method of payment, were you always pay too much for something and have some left over, which encourages you to buy even more, because you now have too little to buy one small thing that you would like.
It's predatory, and I am really glad this game does not do that.
After earning 1000 super credits through normal play, I decided "Actually, i'mma spend the extra $35 to get Super citizen, which will just give me the Steeled Veterans war bond, then I can spend the credits I earned in game on Cutting Edge Premium Warbond."
As an added bonus, I got access to Stratagem Hero and learned that I am not good at Stratagem Hero.
I was able to get the first battle pass completely for free by playing the game. The second one I bought because I wanted to support Arrowhead.
@@sounghungi i bought the first battle pass with money to support arrowhead, and i was able to buy the second thanks to the 300 supercredits that was in that BP that allowed me to buy the second for free... in both case that's so fucking great
Bought both with the credits I found in game and already have 1250 😅
150 hours played.
Ahahah the intro killed me. You always do good stuff.
thank you so much 🙏 coming up with intros is my favorite part haha
The ministry of truth approves the introduction
Great video. New sub right here
Great video! :D
One thing that stuck out with this game more than anything else to me was just how many old friends I'd not spoken to or played with for literally years popped up. Getting invites or random lobby joins by friends who'd just shifted through time due to us growing up, then suddenly meeting again in Helldivers 2 and just carrying on like it was nothing! It brought me so many damn smiles, reconnecting over a genuinely fun game, with no metas, where it's hard to be genuinely angry at a fellow helldiver because of the absurdity and scale of the game.
I love the community it's created too, all the memes, the jokes, the artwork, the banners, the fact that we made TANGIBLE HISTORY by making Malevelon Creek a historical moment (and once we finally liberated it, it seems Arrowhead are actually making a commemerative cape!). So many beautiful player driven moments, combined with a dedicated and loving dev studio. Cheers to you, and cheers to all my fellow helldivers 💙
Some of those leaks are just people who found those vehicles and weapons in the code. But Arrowhead instead of banning those players, decided to let players have it. It’s free publicity and gets the community hyped around a new weapon, vehicle, or stratagem.
GG, enjoyed while i could. o7 to everyone
This NEEDS a part 2!!!
I’m so glad someone finally mentioned Arrowhead’s slogan. I haven’t seen a studio stick so close to a specific style and theme of game like this since GTFO. It’s brutal, unforgiving, and incredibly rewarding when you overcome its challenges. And they pulled no punches in making those sensations as visceral as possible, while putting you fully in charge of the entire scenario.
It didn't take too much helldiving until i got know as 'Bug Hole Destroyer'. Yeah, spread freedom in every planet i step by never letting a bug hole go unpunished with my might, i enjoy that more than any helldiver could comprehend. I experience incredible relief and satisfaction every bug hole i ravage.
I read the first sentence and thought I was the bad guy here.
Please never say this again :(
great, now help liberate malevelon creek soldier
AYOOO
The whole 'failing a Major Order has dire and direct consequences' thing makes me wonder if failing the one that gave the Automatons gunships would've given us gunships instead.
as a big fan of the game this was an epic videos to watch. laughed and smiled the whole way through!
16:54 "Sir, the bugs are learning how to bust it down!".
I'm in fucking bits 😂😂

I also like how dificulty change not the damage what you get but land a stronger enemies on youre forehead
Lil robots gonna suck at 1 and 9 but NOW they take their papa with them, and their uncle, their grandfather, their dog, they car and some take a rpg with them
Also in 9 the scariest robot is the little robot left alive because with one flare he can turn your day in a laser and rocket shower hell with a few dropship calls
@@Colouh3 hulks chasing you ...nah....gotta kill the little guy with the flare gun
@@UniteAndWinOiOi The little guy will make 3 hulks chasing into 6 hulks, 3 tanks and a hell lot of rocket devastators. Hulks are very easy to kill and kite
@@Colouh bahaha right, that and trying to dodge all the rockets from the 6 rocket devastators is not a good time
Just discovered you. Fun and cool video, please do the part 2 with what is left :D
This video is gold!
not even 6 seconds in and i failed to resist the urge to say "hell yeah!", great content man.
Hell yeah, thank you brotha 🙏
Hell yeah, it's here!
Also that kill compilation at 9:35 while having Diabolical Adrenaline Guitar playing is just... 😆👌
Half Life OST elevates everything to 11
Great video I have been convinced to fight for super earth.
That was the second video I saw about how effing great this game is and I just bought it (full price instead of key reseller with 20% off). Great video, thanks.
1:16 Got me so good...
AND THEN THE MUSIC HITS ME IN THE FACE AND IT HURT SO BAD CUZ IT WAS SO FUNNY HOW WE JUST JUMPED RIGHT IN!
This is possibly the best edited, and most well-informed video I’ve ever seen for a game review. Bravo, and take my subscribe damnit!
