Helldivers 2 has become so popular so quickly that the servers are dying trying to handle the amount of people trying to log in. Truly a great game.
F in chat
Suicide Squad is dying because there are almost no players and Helldivers II's servers are dying because of how many players there are. I like this fact. It brings a very strong sense of fulfilment. All my time trying to warn people about sweet baby inc finally paid off. Can't wait to buy Helldivers II! I knew it was going to be special as soon as I saw the announcement trailer.
There was over 350k on PC alone just a couple hours ago xD game rocks.
Sustained accidental DDOS attack.
Numbers are going up every day. @@youhavetoguessit
Everyone talks about the bugs but the absolute brutality of fighting the bots is what makes this game for me. Rockets and lasers and mortars all just popping off together. It makes you feel like you’re on a massive two-sided battle when it’s really just 4 vs. 400.
Especially with the civilian rescue missions I swear there is hundreds of em.
I did three of the missions for civ rescue on bots but n the easier difficulties and we kept getting wiped as a squad, not once did we manage to extract every diver, and always after time ran out. It’s an entire different battle field. Doesn’t help we are all lv4
smoke makes the terminators much easier to deal with and survive the eagle smoke in paticular give it a try you will be impressed how much longer your team survives
No lie feels like Im John Connor on Judgement Day.
@@eugeneomalley6303this mission gave me and my friends PTSD!!
I think the best moment I’ve had so far is where we had this huge line of Bots coming our way, artillery falling around us, and waiting for extract. I pop a cluster bomb, another hits a 120mm, then another a 500kg. The last guy is hitting the last of his auto cannon rounds as the Bot line goes up in flames, drop ship lands, and we pull out. Super cinematic, awesome time. I love this game, 10/10
I just had a similar experience. I had 3 super rare samples, 9 rare, 15 common, got stuck against a rock by a dead bug and couldn't move, extract happened without me and we didn't get any of the samples.
10/10 game
@@fartdonkey8290 they do have to fix the collision with corpses somehow lol
Same but game crashes 10 sec before extract
Dude. The desperate extracts are the best thing I've experienced in gaming in many years. Just outstanding every time.
yea i love when your over ran and your like yep this is it im 100% dead and somehow you manage to make it out alive to continue fighting for democracy for a few more minutes lol
When youre the sole survivor of a high level mission that went to hell it really give you that feeling of being a hero. Being surrounded, No stims, left destroyer left orbit, low ammo, picking up dead comrades weapons, whilst diving for cover and only shooting at targets in the way of the drop ship thats about to depart in 15 seconds. Crazy feeling when you actually pull it off single-handedly saving the mission. My teammate sacrificed himself to throw reinforcement, you bet your ass imma get to that fucking ship.
I think you can only solo in bugs mission. The automaton, on the other hand, can shoot back anh they all hard to destroy, even in medium difficulty
As long as you complete the objectives it really doesnt matter if you extract...unless you were saving samples it just doesnt matter
That ODST into Helldivers landing transition was fucking sick.
The song that came with it too was sweet
It never gets old, awesome every time
Hell yeah, I heard Traffic Jam and I was back in New Mambasa
This is what ODST wishes it was in my opinion
@@teeheeteeheeish
That's a pretty shit opinion...
this game gave me the rare pleasure of trying to log in, it saying "cant log on in, server at capacity" and all i do is smile
Smile while the Suicide Squad defense force copes and seethes, brother.
yet when that happened with diablo 4, everyone went nuts
You’re a good man @df36367!
Keep the vibes going my brother🎉
@@kuruptzZzdiablo 4 knew their franchise was popular, as well as being made by one of the largest game companies
Helldivers 1 had less than 5k concurrent players at most, and is made by a studio with only 100 people
They had NO REASON to expect this game would explode in popularity as it has!
@@kuruptzZzyeah they also had one of the largest marketing budgets of any game in history. If you’re going to market it to everyone and their grandma, you’d hope they could spend a fraction of that on server support.
I just love how 3 different companies came up with the "you shoot bugs with friends" concept and created absolute bangers independently ( it being Helldivers, Starship Troopers: Extermination, and Deep Rock Galactic )
Except EDF did this before any of the games you just mentioned.
Helldivers has a clear link to Starship Troopers. There's easter eggs in the game relating to Starship Troopers, so I wouldn't say it was exactly done "independently"
“Damn no kills” “visually it was awesome, morale boosting even” - Drewski is the type of energy we all wish we had from our teammates.
See, what I love about it is that it's a fun, arcadey game that still focuses ""grounded"" details like tossing mags away, limb injuries, squad-operated weapons, the environment actually affecting your movement a lot... Once, I drowned because I ragdolled into a sufficiently deep puddle and couldn't get out of the mud fast enough.
The fact your aim is disrupted by shockwaves, backblast, glancing hits (even if they do zero damage) and the bots can actually be suppressed are all great.
The "realism" of throwing away mags is a long time internet conspiracy theory. IRL dump pouches exist - soldiers don't throw away ammo.
One time I had primed an orbital strike orb but got knocked off my feet by an explosion, the orb fell out of my hands and called in a strike right on our position. That was an awkward one to explain.
YES I hate arcade games but this is fine to me, pays attention to the small details
@@thesponge836 Exactly the same thing happened to me just an hour or so ago. Teammate got absolutely nailed by Precision Strike. Oops. Honestly, as soon as I realized that I can do things like setting RPMs of MGs I knew I was in for a ride with those grounded details. Also, the absolute cherry on top? This game has so many fun just really fun details in characters themselves. For example, I was absolutely laying into the horde. Kept constantly firing for over 10 seconds and I just wanted to start giggling like a maniac. Guess what Helldiver did. He just started laughing like a maniac. I love the devs
Just wait until they add vehicles like apcs, tanks, and mechs (Mechs are confirmed).
I think this game could have had a chance if Dragon's Dogma II wasn't coming this year. I should have elaborated,I meant that it could have a chance to be GOTY.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MECHS LESS GOOOOOOOOO
@@UnseenHitman-1932 This year feels like the year of co-op games. Kicked off with the Abysmal Suicide Squad, Next Came an insane Success of Helldivers 2, Itsuno releasing his pseudo co-op RPG, Dragons Dogma 2, Really co-op foe anti-social people.. I wonder what we'll see next.
@@RustedBuddy5192 Can't forget Palworld for the co-op people.
@@The1337guy1 YES! True. I knew I was forgetting one.
The music from the game where you and your teammates enter the atmosphere with the pods reminds me of the Pacific rim movie when the main characters enter the Jeager robot.
Everyone talking about the massive scale battle. There’s a old game called planetside 2 who did this. Issue was it actually needed all those players. They’re having 1000 guns shooting in hell divers but most are NPCs. In planetside. If you want a 1k gun fight. You need 1k players. It was like seeing the planets align. It was crazy when it did happen. The night lit up with lasers and explosions. Good times. Games dead now unfortunately. Hell divers and planetside are actually pretty similar. Anyone who’s played planetside will understand what I mean. I’m glad hell divers succeeded in this kind of game. Those nights running with groups of 20 ppl in a 3 hours fire fight. Even when you got off. Fighting for a base. It would last a week in real life time. I’m definitely getting hell divers.
this game would hugely benefit on a system like that!! I have yet to try Hell divers. the issue was, Planetside was a F2P MMO pvp and it was GRINDY. You only got cool gear if it was an event or you had the membership.
With sections and people particpating it would be pretty badass to encounter other squads to help them out with their objectives and overall fight against the common enemy. I should probably enlist soon!!
@@eric6rock right I had to grind a lot lol. But I got pretty far. Started in 2014 and stopped playing like 2022. I just got hell divers and It’s so fun bro. They even got orbital strikes. Hell divers already kinda has what you’re suggesting. If you’re low on members you can put down a SOS thing and it’ll other players know you need another member. It’s pretty cool.
@@onelooongboi5838 I got it today and holy shit it’s adrenaline pumping it’s fun when everybody is on the same page especially with the games theme. It’s fuckin awesome!
Not only it took elements from different games it also seems familiar with Warframe with the planet travel but this one is cool every contribution COUNTS!!!
hopefully, they made an Invasion type (like in Halo Reach) with 1k players, I would pay to play it anywhere
N before planetside it was Defiance
I think everybody just wants something that is actually fun and not some sweaty shooter or extraction game that pressures you into taking them seriously and playing competitively. People just wanna have a blast with their homies for a change. I haven't even got to play this yet, but it gives off the same kinda vibes as playing halo splitscreen with my friends back in the day. Just good fun with friends shooting the time away together.
bingo
Nailed it
you got it. I'm so freaking sick of extraction games. I just want to have fun, not worry about being blasted from some guy camping in a bush for 30 minutes, if I wanted to do that I'd go to ukraine
PVP games are ruined by sweat lords and cheaters that's why this game had such an impact.
It is not that simple, why did alien fireteams fail? because it was a stupid Idea. You still need a good game.
FOR ROCKA AND STO- Wait... Wrong bugs, FOR FREEDOM! LIBERTY AND SUPER EAAAARRTH!!!
DO I HEAR A ROCK AND...LIBERTY?
FOR KARL!!!! AND DEMOCRACY!
WHICH ONE OF YOU FLAT FOOTED TRAITORS CALLED 380MM ON THE PELICAN
FOR SUPER EARRTTTTTTHHHHHHHHH! (Holds down the trigger on the HMG)
DANGER. DARKNESS. DIVERS.
The aiming system in this game is one of the most novel and interesting ones I've seen.
It is insanely satisfying to just actually have a consistent point of reference for where your bullets will go at all times, and for the game to be designed around it. To the point where I kind of wonder why noone tried this before.
Like a crosshair? Or accurate laser attachments? I think other games do this, unless you meant something different…
@@BigManGreg-su6bh I mean the "two-dots" approach, where you have the center-of-the-screen crosshair that you point with, but also the free-floating circle that's always tracking the place where your next shot will actually go, which you actually aim with. It creates a very intuitive system for both showcasing the different weights and handling of weapons, and for helping to visualize and convey their recoil patterns.
It's kind of like a laser, I guess, but not subject to a laser's physical limitations (or some of the ways in which lasers are often "fudged" in games), and no game has used lasers quite exactly like this before.
It's been tried before but it tends to confuse new players, so never gets used in AAA games. You see it a lot in simulation games.
Gaming monopolies are bad for games. Stuff like this is why.
@@RobinTheBot The thing with simulation games is, in their design the actual point of aim is usually a hidden value (and intuiting it is kinda weird, since you don't really have depth perception in games). So I'd say the baseline design intent is kinda different.
I absolutely agree though - Monopolies kill creativity, and I'm very glad that this game came about and popped off like it did.
Funnily enough ive seen this system in a roblox battle sim
Another nail in the coffin for Skull n Bones
Nah, more like Battlefield
These Automaton firefights feel so good, because it feels like a modern firefight, where you're both missing a lot to get a hit. Between the bots often missing dozens of rounds at a time past you, and you missing shots when you're rotating and stabilizing, it feels so real.
I love it but my only problem is how fast my mag empties and theme eventually run out of ammo
@@marshallcraft25learn how to conserve your ammo and not waste shots. Pick your battles, guerrilla warfare Is an option
@@marshallcraft25 - You also gotta shoot the right part with the right weapon.
For example, a sniper rifle (anti-materiel) can 2-shot a hulk … if you hit the head. If you hit the armor, you do no damage (the bullets may even ricochet and hit your team).
@@marshallcraft25 true, but you should pre-set supply spots. They don't expire
@@marshallcraft25 stop holding the trigger down and take the time to aim instead.
Crazy how this game blew up. But it just shows how much people wanted a fun game after every Triple A failures in the past. Absolutely justified! Bringing freedom to the gaming industry and showing every big studio how the f*ck its done!
First Badlur Gates 3 then Paleworld and now this , AAA greedy companies are dying out
And it isn't a buggy mess!
How has starshiptroopers not sued them?
@banjoowo4001 you do realize that Sony did this right? Arrowhead wouldn't have gotten half this far on a true double a budget
@ikarus7369 actually it is, but that's a good thing
Brings back memories of diving prone under sentry gun fire as they mow down the hordes pouring onto the objective. Nice to see the enjoyable gameplay mechanics and loop from the near 10 year old twin stick shooter brought into a three dimensional TPS.
"The pit of death" can be blown up with a grenade. It's not a bug nest but you can still blow it up
Rumor is that Arrowhead devs are planning on releasing the third enemy faction from the first game, the Illuminate, down the road. There are clues if you watch the Super Earth government news reports being played in your capital ship.
What kind of clues?
No shit, anyone with a brain can see there's room for another faction or 2
@@TheDwarfishjoe omg really? No way!
Really!? I NEVER KNEEEEWWWW!!!!
Wow. I have NEVER thought of that. Truly one of the greatest intellectuals and theorists of our time.
31:06 when that bug was clinging to that ledge on its last legs just before its head blew apart was cinematic AF. So dope.
Man I’ve been seeing yt videos about Helldivers 2 and everyone’s gameplay looks so different and even more fun I just get swallowed by it even if it is 1 hour gameplay.
Wish I could play it but gotta wait at least a few months to buy it hope it keeps this fun and with good support. Great vid!
Server cap has been increased! and AFK timer has been added so its time to jump in helldiver and spread some democracy
i remember playing the top down helldivers 1 when i was like 10 and had a blast playing it until i didnt have anyone to play with anymore. really great to see a childhood game become so popular
As someone who played the original game a shitload I really was hesitant about it being converted to a third person shooter rather than a topdown twin stick shooter but goddamn, they nailed it.
Naaaah I always knew it would go crazy from HD1 once the perspective shifts
23:35 Holy Hell you even see the planes coming in for the air strikes. This game is amazing.
yup you can see the eagles flying in to drop the airstrikes, they also release flares when they fly off.
God damn that's cool as fuck
You also see yours' & (I think) your squad's capital ships, and they fire when you call down orbital attacks. Definitely at least your capital ship.
What games do you play where you don't see the vehicle bringing in the strike you called?
@@crispy9175helldivers 1
It’s kinda niche but my favorite part of the game thus far has been how you can dive over or across things and STILL shoot while doing it. Got a bug hole below you you’re standing on the rim of? Leap off the ledge and fling a nade backwards and down into it.
Want to quickly jump past a Automaton walker to shoot the pilot? Just dive and shoot!
that fairly oddparents reference was GODLIKE lmaooo keep up the incredible work man! Glad I found your channel :)
Chaotic starship troopers with dope capes
That is what I was thinking when I saw gameplay and the trailers
If Starship Troopers and Halo ODST had a baby
6:27 The dive, straight into laying down fire while prone is a fucking awesome mechanic.
You can actually fire while in the air as well, and start reloading a gun while diving. Very cool mechanic imo
You can also throw nades while diving, which means you can do things like leap over bug holes while flinging a nade down into it as you fall.
You can also summon exodia during the dive if you wish
Max Payne did it first 🥇
@@Dr.Failtastic but no one gaf about Max Payne
Even playing with randoms is fun i live pressing the SOS button and joining helping them while the music kicks in makes me feel a part of it all
Holy shit AGREED on the republic commando thing. A 4 player PVE co-op game fighting droid armies on land or in space squadron battles sounds not only amazing but also perfect for the setting! Customize your armor and weapons (arc troopers, jetpack troopers, etc) then get out there and make the republic proud, clones!
I was worried that something would be lost in translation when turning Helldivers from a twin stick shooter to third-person, so it makes me really happy that Helldivers 2 is as good as it is.
If anything, it's like the game was always meant to be 3rd person and the isometric view was a design concession for the first one.
Makes me wonder if you could even _do_ a 3rd person Magicka...
It feels like the Devs pulled a Risk of Rain 2 here :D
I was worried the game would pull a RoR2.
No, this isn't me saying RoR2 is *bad* but I didn't like the 3D-translation, especially as much as Helldivers.
This is exactly what I was stressed about - the vibe of the first is simply unparalleled, and as much as I adore helldivers 2 you cannot compare them - they are so good in different ways. A good analogy is Resident Evil 4 (original) has a whole different vibe to the remake, but I would recommend both games for different reasons. Props to the Devs tho ! What a great game
Did RoR2 end up being that different than the original game? I only played RoR1 Remastered, where they already tweaked stuff to make it easier for people who started with RoR2 and it felt pretty similar
@@332guyver1
I would be hyped by a Warhammer game in this kind of setting. Playing as a Space Marine in a Tyranide or Ork infested world would be so great.
Games workshop would never ok a game like this sadly.

This game is just one cinematic moment after another
'Bugs n grits.. fried bugs.. bug gumbo..' lmao, loved the forrest gump ref, and always love the content, keep it up drewski
Two things that really make this game great in vastly different ways.
First is the lore, everything is in-character. The closest thing you get to a 4th wall break is the loading screen tips making witty jokes about teamkilling. The informational videos that pop up in your ship are portrayed as training material for divers, even for something as simple as "Reloading a half-empty mag will waste the ammo". They make in-lore news broadcasts to post to their social media about in-game events, even when the servers are having issues and the devs compensate players with bonus experience the game calls it an "Accounting" mishap, never breaking character.
The second thing, is the attention to detail in combat. Shooting bug's heads off will occasionally leave them blindly pushing the offensive before eventually collapsing, all explosions can knock you off your feet and send you flying into objects, which with sufficient speeds can and will damage or kill you from the impact. Damaged limbs will affect your character's performance ingame, and the same goes for the enemies, shooting off limbs will occasionally have bugs trip and fall over before getting back up and continuing the fight.
Resupply pods can be destroyed but the ammo supplies will survive, and scatter across the landscape. PARTIAL RELOADS which isn't that huge but tons of games don't do it and it's really annoying.
Where most games have a thin veneer of enjoyable content that is usually just a short-lived gimmick or a poorly replayable repetitive loop, this game has a steel reinforced foundation of an absolutely S tier game with infinite replayability.
I know. This is full on dead space level combat for bug missions. A bit harder with bots, especially since the headshot is more effective
I agree dude. I feel like this game is gonna be HOT for years. I'm obsessed. Also I feel like an odst and being a halo nerd since kindergarten it makes it even better
@@jamespahl3832
This is the “Halo” that 343 couldn’t poop out even if they had another couple billion and 20 more years of development. Not because they can’t but because they refuse to on an ideological level. Which makes it even worse and them more pathetic on multiple levels.
I love the news segment that plays aboard the ship about the automoton attack, shit like that really helps with the level of immersion and world building going on in this game. Now if i could just log on and actually play the game, and unlock armor sets before they get changed thatd be great.
good for you and your 2k PC
Played with some old friends last night, there were 5 separate instances where it looked straight out of a movie, and I had a moment where I was fighting alone against the Bots(think Commander Cody holding the bridge alone against the CIS in Clone Wars) and managed to throw a reinforcement beacon out right as I was killed. Everyone was cheering me on and it was such and intense moment!
Been playing with old names from my friends list as well. What a game, brining so many people together right now.
That’s what it’s all about
The game actually does not end if everyone dies, you just respawn all at once. Still kinda bad, since you don't control where, and there's noone on the ground to cover you/draw fire until you orient yourself.
MUGGLE
"Why couldn't Halo?" I used to ask that a lot then just accept the fact that Halo is Garbo and deserves to be where it is now with how badly the developers have treated it.
Bro this video is so good im only 2 minutes in and it’s so funny, I’ve been watching a long time and I’m glad you’re so successful!!!
I mean, Starship Troopers meets Terminator meets Warhammer 40k with excellent visual effects and sound design...just from watching the game I get why this is so popular!
well 40k stole everything from ST and Dune, so basically 40k is in every game today lol
Can't forget halo!
Huge congratulations to everyone involved.
I was 1000 percent expecting this to be a “flop” if not do the bare minimum financially.
But it was INSANE! A server killer!
It’s crazy to have huge games come out of almost nowhere and be big hits like this and Palworld, meanwhile the big flops are Suicide Squad and Skull and bones which have been anticipated for almost a decade.
Baldur's Gate 3, Palworld, Helldivers 2. All of these games that were underestimated before their launch and turned out to be MASSIVE successes shows just how unpredictable the gaming industry is. People just like fun games.

Im pretty sure the energy weapons bypass armored targets defences so they're actually quite good for that as well not as effective as anti tank weapons but not useless
One thing that you can do btw, we accidently tested with a friend of mine, you can use the drop pods of reinforcements to kill large targets like Chargers and Tanks. But you can also destroy the fabrication sites and Bug holes. Just not recommended as you will likely get stuck in the ground XD. It is really funny though to have it accidently happen
My buddy dropped into a a bug hole and instantly died 😢😂
Hell yeah, we've been doing this since the OG Helldivers game, it's a good way to just semi-nuke a spot
What I love watching CZcams videos about HellDivers 2 is the mixture of almost all sci-fi games of run and gun.
Starship Troopers, Star Wars, Destiny, and funny thing is, they have Terminator style enemies which is just another variety.

The best thing about Helldivers for me is how cinematic the moment to moment fighting is. Followed by the quietness after you decimate all your enemies and you take a second to resupply.

Man, the soundtrack in this game is so damn good. Like the part in the first mission where you and the squad reached the evac point, the music kicked up in an epic cacophony of what I could only describe as the perfect blend of Star Wars and Starship Troopers combined. Truly a soundtrack worthy of it's hype lol.
I love the new soundtrack, but I miss the old classic helldiver's one too. I hope they add it in somehow or in settings.
Super clean, great teamwork.
LMFAO the Bubba Gump reference was great! good shit, Bud.
Finally got my paycheck in today, went to play the game, was super excited, and the servers were so full that I spent an hour in queue before my game crashed. Maybe one day I can do my part.

I was sitting here trying to recover from a few days of bug bashing, but now that I have stumbled across your video it's time to get back into the fray.! Those Robots are evil!
As someone who played a decent amount of helldivers 1. I'm so glad to see this game get so much attention. I was hyped for this game for a few months ago but I never expected it to blow up like this. The devs truly deserve it.
Its been too long since HD1, and any promo that came out did not show actual gameplay, no streamer invite, no beta. Not saying those were needed (i do hate that shit way back when OW1 streamers got to play till they were bored before its even out) but there was nothing for me to expect or hype about. Then boom. Thats the sound of servers exploding xD
Yup. same here. I was nervous seeing no reviews before the game came out. But still "pre-ordered" it the day before. Knowing that I will still by it anyway. Glad that it did not disappoint.
You mention 380k and climbing, well, actually that's their server cap and why there's some matchmaking problems. The cap was 250k before, they upgraded to 380k and it filled up in like an hour.
Server cap is in fact 450,000. They have an extra 50,000 but the infeastructure was getting wobbly hence was reduced to 450k.
But 600,000 were trying to play.

Awesome game, hope they add more servers to the lot, i havent been able to play all weekend. servers were full at 7am today (sunday) as well hahaha.
It feels more like a Pre Warhammer 40k Astra Militarum simulator. Gameplay goes really good with the Darktide soundtrack playing in the background.
Wow, If we could get this sort of gameplay and GFX but set in the 40K world, wow - dream come true!
I must say... that was one hell of a great intro to the video! Tbh, I could probably listen to Drewski ramble on about videogames or other stuff for hours. Great video! Keep it up!
Honestly just clicked the video for the intro, skipped the gameplay
Reminds me of a Starcraft II custom map I developed many years ago where you'd be rushed by randomly evolving creatures like this in increasingly bigger waves and have to work together to get through very hard waves and there'd be a timer, you could never actually win, just get a high score for time survived.
I love how the bots music sounds like something that would play during a Kalon vs Alliance battle in The Orville
On PC, they just made the match making work well. Holy hell, the game is a 10/10 when it's working right
It is genuinely a joy to watch you in these games. STALKER mods, MilSim games, and now Helldivers too. ;)
Just got done with the platinum for Helldivers 2, what a unique gem of a game 👌🏻
The music also contributes. It sounds like an action/superhero movie. Triumphant and inspiring.
I highly suggest rebinding your stratagems to the arrow keys, allows you to keep moving while calling in.
oh my god
@@TheDerpp lol, you're welcome brotha
Damn thats smart
WTF!!! THIS GOLD NUGGET OF INFO JUST BROKE ME
Great tip. Thanx
There's just something about fighting against impossible odds with some friends with the chance for a last stand that just does it for me.
I’m glad you said something about halo drewski this game gives me ODST vibes like crazy could have been a crazy halo game
"You got them .338 Photons in that B****?" I'm dead...
If I was Mr Disney I would be contacting these guys to make a star wars game. Clone wars era, mowing through waves of droids. ordering x wing gun runs, b wing bomb runs, orbital support from Venators. Going to the surface to blow up CIS droid factories
Yeah this kind of game is what battlefront could have been.
Bad Batch
But muh toxic masculinity! And if you've seen the chatter on Twitter this has dug up around Starship Troopers, you'll know that the last thing the wokies want right now is us uniting behind "the only good bug is a dead bug." Because it's apparently fascist to want to survive and thrive in a world where parasitic organisms aren't flooding over your borders...
I’m so fucking tired of clone wars, dude. No. It’s so fucking overdone. Just do imperials again please.
Im so sick of star wars, there’s so many better franchises smh people need to broaden their horizon
Crazy how nobody talked about Helldivers 1 when it came out, and now to this
Between this and Pal World, I’m starting to see a theme of games being released that should’ve been released by mainstream titles.
Your video was the reason I got this game. Just got level 20 and man I'm having so much fun out there. Brought in my brother, his buddy, my buddy and another friend. We're playing every evening until late and it's such a blast.
You can really see how much attention to detail there is in all that total chaos. It's glorious!
The popularity of HD2 compared to the first game is absolutely insane. The game is amazing to play and one of the better games I've played in recent years. I'm also happy to see how many people are enjoying it, but 'suffering from success' is a term that applies after expecting nowhere near the amount of people that are attempting to log in. Fingers crossed over the next couple weeks they're able to expand and stabilize the servers and squash more bugs/issues, both those related to the overwhelmed servers and ingame problems that pop up now and then.
Also gotta give credit to Arrowhead for updating the community via Discord up to multiple times a day about the current status of the games, server problems, fixes, etc as well as having been patching the game to improve or fix issues up to a couple times a day if needed. Shows the amount of struggle and effort they're putting forward to bring this game up to meet the popularity its garnered. See you on the frontlines fellow Super Citizens! 07
I've played one game that has previously taken this approch to co-op game play and that's Mass Effect 3 multi-player, I really loved playing it and was disapointed when thay didn't roll it out with the Legendery Edition.
I remember trailers for this game being shown at recent events and it was *crickets* around it. People did noooot care at all, weren't even acknowledging it. Funny how that happens.
Because this is a FUN game for $40. Wait til blizzard or someone buys this company and limits the amount of samples you can carry per person but will sell you an increased inventory bag for $20
damn you just made me mad bro wtf@@fartdonkey8290
Most cinematic experience, best ambience. Feels good, is fun and difficult and you get some movie moments. Its just perfect. Haven't had this much fun in a long time.
Im doing my part 🫡
One of my favorite games ever. So much potential for the future content-wise as well!
I don't have a PS5 but was so hyped when I saw it on the Steam recommended page. All of my friends have it and we've been having a blast playing it over the last few days, visually it's stunning, guns are beefy and are satisfying to shoot and calling in an orbital or air strike makes you feel powerful!
My only problem with it so far is the guns feel really spread out across the two progression paths we have right now and if you buy the Super Citizen edition the early armour is kinda redundant but they're my minor nitpicks I'm loving the game so much!
my favorite genre of game "a group of idiots who are willing to die for glory and/or $9"
35:33 stuck between a rock and a hard carapace
I hit the like button for the bug/forest gump shrimp joke at the beginning.... 👍
How can the gameplay be this cinematic? they can hide all the HUD, pretend it's a cutscene and I will believe it, that's it! playing it all day with the bois on the weekend!
Last night the servers were full on steam with over 260,000 players online and more trying to get on. I wasn’t even mad just glad it’s doing so well
Literally pausing this on my phone so I can continue on the big screen and make a bag of popcorn. It's like watching a movie!
7:04 Props to the guy who correctly called it out as an AT-RT instead of AT-ST.
clean reload spin at 5:59 looks sick as heck
