Helldivers 2 bet cod because it had an actual sense of coomunity and rewarded teamplay aswell as a great monetization system and artstyle
100% you could tell the game was made with passion
Dont forget iHD2 dont have a SBMM and EOMM system thats trash either. thats another big flaw of COD. I want COD to fail so they might actual make a good game for once in 8 year's
And yeah, I used to be a hard-core cod fan until I got into helldivers. 2, thank God helldivers 2 came into my life
@@lAMDEWAN only reason i play cod mw3 og was campaign and codm as a whole but now same thing with codm and mw3 2024 only games i play are older game from 2000 or older and flash games

i actually bought the microtransactions in helldivers 2 to support the devs
For patriotism 🫡 awesome team
exactly same i dont mind spending money if game is really good and devs are not greedy and arrogant.
Yup, I’ve spent over $100 in game and feel like I would have spent at least $500 on a hacktivision game. All about perceived value. I love HD2 and can see myself spending hundreds of hours on it. Also the devs deserve to be praised for what an amazing piece of content they’ve created.
Mug 🙄
Same here but it sucks when the new weapons you get are just horrible to use
Don't forget their word on why there's friendly fire
"Its Funny"
"Accidentally Carpet bombing your friends is Hilarious"
They ain’t lying 😂
@@lAMDEWANagreed
no wonder why my friend always throw the cluster on my back
Me and a friend were pinned down yesterday lying prone behind a small rock for cover and I tried to throw an cluster bomb beacon at the enemy danger close.... aand I accidentally planted it on the back of my friends head. we were laughing at that for a good 5+ minutes.
@@jhorn64 Helldiver moments be like
I'm 41 years old. Proud Gamer since I was in the womb. Playing Helldivers 2 and loving every minute of it. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun with a videogame.
It’s phenomenal
Psh im 89 and still playing since the stone age
Democracy and freedom ain't about age, but about will to dive and spread democracy. Ride on, Cyberstan is nearby.
38 here and i bypass bad experience by not played any AAA game in the past 10 years.
May I ask. Is it worth getting if I play solo?
Lethal Company, then Palworld, then Hell Divers 2. Every few months, an Indie literally blows AAA out of the water, love to see it.
Excited for the next one!!
Don't forget The Finals;)))
We need more indie devs that have a potential to destroy triple A companies😂
The finals is dead
Passionate devs vs Copo devs. The difference is so apparent it’s palpable.
It's pretty funny to see AAA studios absolutely horrified that Larian and Arrowhead don't want to completely rinse their consumer base dry.
It’s hilarious
They’re horrified bc this means that the consumer knows what dirty tricks they do and not stuck with the same three companies
We ain’t horrified. We actually have an internal chat where almost 150 employees play helldivers on a daily basis XD
It's AAAA now according to Ubishit.
@@RUSOBPK Checks out, don't even play their own games but play another, better one.
The fact that they give the premium currency in game for free by exploring the map is actually insane
These devs know what they’re doing
They definitely do 👍
What's insane is that it used to be the norm.
The premium currency is pretty limited though. You’ll probably have to spend money to get gear.
@@grimfield272 нет, не потребуется. Она слишком легко фармится.
@@grimfield272no I unlock two pass without spending any money, I don’t play like crazy I have 90 hours since lunch.
Helldivers 2 has just a superb community. I just got carried by a level 50 veteran who likes RP and it was just so fun. Not even cringe, just pure fun.
100% fun
Tried to get someone to play hd2 with me, and that was the first complaint "all we are doing is getting killed by robots over and over" as opposed to getting killed by an 8yr old on CoD, Halo, Battlefield, Apex etc
Lol the arguments are always hypocritical
“I don’t wanna lose to ROBOTS and ALIENS, I wanna lose to ACTUAL CHILDREN”
-your goofy ahh undemocratic buddy, my condolences
@anidiotmakesthings🤓
@anidiotmakesthings cope with the fact you're not a capable enough helldiver
@anidiotmakesthings You just hate freedom and liberty man, there's no helping you
The difference between the two studios is passion, Cod is money oriented whereas HD2 is about passion and a love letter to the community
Right on ✅ night and day
This is exactly the answer my friends
Hd2 is a good short term
@@Towermidguard and cod is trash at long and short term and no hd2 will not be a 1 year and no more content the game live for years to come
@@Towermidguard short term??? Helldive for life baby!!!!!!!!
Helldivers 2 is not just a breath of fresh air in a pocket of mustard gas, it’s a literal entire habitable planet.
Super earth!
A democratic breath of fresh air
I would argue its a breath of chlorine gas for the AAA industry
A fresh cup of Liber-tea
a habitat plant that needs to be liberated of those damn socialist bugs and commie bot that is!
The old days of COD is how I meet my girlfriend…she was one of the scariest and deadliest players I’ve ever met and now we are fighting the galaxy in Helldivers 2✊🏻
Love at first sight haha and a happy ending
@@lAMDEWAN indeed and who would have thought right? but yet? here we are together fighting bugs lol
All is fair in love n' war.
Damm
For Democracy 🔽🔽🔼▶️
Seeing lethal company beat COD then Helldivers II is glorious. There’s so much soul and care in both games and players see that
We absolutely can tell
"A game for everyone, is a game for no one" - Arrowhead Game Studios motto.
Devs know what they are doing.
Yes sirrr my new favorite studio
Spoke way too soon...
Honesty, if Arrowhead ran out of budget for the game, they could just ask for donations from the community and I bet the community would support them wholeheartedly.
True. I love their thi Whole Joel Concept. like he i the main mastermind we are fighting against
I’m getting reminded of Critical Role getting three times as much money as they needed for the show
i doubt they will, given they outsold their projections so hard they had to increase their server cap to accommodate the size of the playerbase.
In the name of Democracy, I would.
For democracy we would 💪
The fact that HD2 also has weekly updates, and actually fix issues in a timely manner puts all these massive AAA studios to shame
It really does
Well, "timely manner". Damage-over-time has been glitched for like a month. I imagine they're having trouble figuring out what's causing it.
Actually with today's tonedeaf patch from the developers, i retract the praise i give the game
@@detectivebones671sure, maybe the unfixed bugs and nerfs in the patch aren’t always great, but the game is still insanely fun. They are always buffing certain weapons, mixing up the stale meta every update
@@aircraftcarrierwo-classwell they said the system for fire dmg is janky AF and hard to tweaks, and they said they do a complete reworks of it. so its understandable for it takes too long to fix
Helldivers 2 is the only game that made me actually want to pay for their currency, to support their team and enhance my experience, even though I easily could have just played more and collected super credits. It felt less like a purchase and more like a donation.
I collected 1000 super credits simply by playing the game, which let me unlock Steeled Veterans, then I payed for the Cutting Edge warbond. Now that the latest warbond is out, I'm already halfway towards affording it, without spending a dime.
Such a refreshing concept
I love how not only did they beat a studio with 30x their devs, but also there are reports of AAA studios rejected games with the EXACT gameplay loop as helldivers 2
*highly deserved like*
They denied the spread of democracy.. how dare they?
Activision have now been put on the anti-democracy watch list
Microsoft being the biggest one.
I personally think that those AAA devs are just jealous. And Helldivers one has been around for a loooong time.
I've unlocked like 80% of all the premium content in Helldivers 2 by just FINDING credits in points of interests while playing the game. I don't even grind them like some do I just happen to find enough over time. It's so rewarding.
Extremely rewarding
Another great thing about HD2 is that even when you lose, you are still winning. Landing on a planet and getting wrecked immediately is still so much fun. Winning is fun. Losing is fun. Crushing the map in minutes is fun. Barely making it out with a mere few seconds out is fun. Playing with friends is fun. Playing with randoms is fun. Randomly getting squashed by a flying bile titan is fun. Getting launched like a football a hundred meters away is fun. Seeing people run into stratagems after warning them is fun. And there are so many ways to play and so many difficulties to choose from so everyone can have fun in their range. Everything builds on the fun and the moments and memes are everywhere. I don't remember ever have so many great memories of any game like this other than Age of Empires 2.
You are right! I still have to get back to it. The only other games that really made me feel fun to another level like helldiver 2 is Golden Eye on Nintendo 64 and World of Warcraft.
Couldn’t have said it any better. Helldivers 2 is the definition of FUN, no matter the circumstance 💯
Still waiting for the deeprock galactic and helldivers 2 cross over
“What kind of democracy comes from underground”
“The corporate kind”
FOR ROCK AND STONE!
Imo really cool that the DRG team was openly streaming HD2 and contacted them for a collaboration.
ROCK AND STONE

FOR DEMROCKRACY AND LIBRESTONE!
Today a new guy bombed me like three times, we won and then LITERALLY hugged it out 😂
Sums up the Helldivers experience 😂
@@lAMDEWAN
Brothers in battle.
"I feel like I am fighting the Call of Duty Devs, There are probably about 3000 of them." I LoL'd.
Can’t lie though, it DOES resemble Activision just a bit 😂
One big thing everyone forgets, you can farm the MTX currency in Helldivers 2 and that pretty fast.
^^
Last night, I entered MW Warzone and spent the entire game on voice chat, recruiting players for Helldivers 2. I've already secured two new recruits, haha.
Let’s go!! 🤣🙌🔥
Good work, Democratic Officer! Keep spreading that liberty!
Good work Helldiver! Anyone who enlists to our cause is more than welcome.
The least likable administrator of truth 😂
(love this idea, I think ill start doing it too but I don't play cod)
Sweet Liberty!!
Anybody else notice that at 10:53 when the Helldiver steps on the Terminid's corpse, there is another Helldiver beneath it which raises their arm in protest to the extra weight?
Another thing can be said about the factor of camaraderie. Games like COD put you against others, you see them as enemies. HD has every player working towards the same goal. And the experiences you get when playing with others is rewarding. Last night, our group completed a mission ahead of schedule, and because I had an Airburst Rocket Launcher, I had someone team-reload me for victory fireworks. Moments like that make my day sometimes.
That’s awesome 🙌 HD2 really does bring people together
This is probably well known by now, but HD2 was in development for so long that their game engine went defunct, so they had to update it and fix it themselves on top of making a whole ass game.
Round of applause for these guys 👏
Fun Fact Warhammer 40k is also made in this abandonware and it came out 2022
@@blanksilver3851 Warhammer is the franchise, Vermintide and darktide are the games
That's not entirely true
@@blanksilver3851 there is like a hundred Warhammer 40k games that came out that year. No idea which one you’re talking about.
Helldivers 2 is a call back to the early 2010s of gaming where companies prioritized a quality product not microtransactions. I still remember Halo Reach and the game flat out implying "screw you, play the game to get the credits to buy that armor piece you want. We aren't going to let you just BUY IT"
Absolutely how every game should be
And even before of that like L4D with the variety of enemies and friendly fire
there's plenty of games prioritizing quality and not micro transactions you just only look at triple a games and that's it
@@frostysimo1394were talking about big title platform games thats USED to be fun, not the lesser title games nobody really plays
@@BigPck2 seems you didn't read all my comment
Fun , challenging , funny, and the fact the story keeps
Going and changes depending how we play. Plus the community is so wholesome
All very true
Plus its nice to have a game where we are all on the same side and help each other out. I mean there are a few trolls who kick you or dont seem to notice friendly fire but overall everyone i meet i hug and we work together❤ kinda makes me hopeful
Super cool deep dive into it. I basically never buy triple-A games anymore. They usually cost more, they call price-gouging people "innovation", and there's no soul. Everything is quite the opposite with Indie games
It’s the complete opposite
COD Players: Helldivers 2 needs PvP
Me: Gets killed more by my fellow squadmates than from the bugs or bots.
Lol fr 😂 they have no idea
Anyone who asks for PVP is probably a commie rebel scum
Your best and friend and your worst enemy = Your fellow Helldiver
Lol I got crushed by supply drop
Omg haha other day rando killing me and other guy woth flame thrower like 3 times 🤣
January = lethal company
February = palworld
March = helldivers 2 & content warning
April = manor Lords
Every month this year is dominated by indie game
That kind of stuff happens when there's a major lul in the AAA industry. Around 2015 CoD had completely dropped off and BF1 hadn't released yet so the biggest DICE project, Battlefront 1, had some controversy.
Anyway that led to H1Z1 which originally sucked ass and wanted to make money in the first place, they became a BR, then PUBG, then Fortnite in 2017 to which the BR genre blew up. It's always up to the indie devs to renovate the gaming industry before the big dogs follow suit, someone else has to do it first.
Helldivers 2 released om Febuary 8th
Content Warning released on April 1st
I think you got it a bit mixed up
I mean at least I enjoyed FF7…
But yeah I feel you.
A new golden era 👀
Bro tried to sneak manor lords in there.
There is PvP in Helldivers. It's called friendly fire lol
Indeed!
Was gifted this game, after playing for 4 hours, I bought it for someone else - it was that fun
Literally spent $0 after buying the base game. I have all the warbonds unlocked and recently got the scorcher for bot missions. All from playing the game. The armor sets in the super store? Same exact passives as ones you unlock naturally playing the game. No pay to win. I enjoyed this process so much I actually upgraded to the Super Citizen edition BECAUSE I WANTED TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPERS!!
this is almost like tipping because you want to - not because you "have to"
That’s when you know you have a MASTERPIECE on your hands. When you spend money just because you appreciate the devs that much 🙌
Fucking exactly. If I had the money, I'd be planting some dollars into the dev's pockets too.
@anidiotmakesthingsSeems like a problem for you then. Trying to play "meta" is an option, but most of the base guns are solid and not garbage or overpowered. They fit a play style
@anidiotmakesthings currently reporting you to a democracy officer
@anidiotmakesthingsbrah... You do know that it shows when you give yourself a " thumbs up " right?
You know what's nice for Helldivers 2 as well?
You can play 1 game a day and still have so much fun.
I know right?! I can come home from work, play a round or two, and feel totally satisfied without feeling bored or like I'm grinding. A perfect balance.
I can confirm ^^^
This game made me realize how sad I was playing mediocre/shitty multiplayer games these last 5 years lol. All I have out of my favorite franchise right now are books, and 24 dollar cosmetics. Helldivers 2 was love at first sight, and now I'm a Fleet Admiral like a month and a half later lol. I hope this game wins hella awards.
God I love this: we expect 14k players like the first game, pebble in a river. *the 800k players patiently waiting to get into the game on lunch week* “you got eny more of them orbital bombardments ?”
Another key point:
By definition it doesn’t have a population of die-hard CoD fans in it, which immediately improves the experience massively.
Lol for sure
The cod community is the laughing stock of the gaming world.
Arrowhead communicates to the community, is realistic about their team size and ability to fix and release new content, gaslights users that the new flying enemies weren’t put in by them and “we don’t know what you’re talking about”. It’s amazing to watch passionate people get recognized and holy hell this game is a blast
It truly is a blast
@@lAMDEWAN what your video touches on is an interesting time period in gaming. We are seeing indie/AA studios putting out games that are knocking off the old guard in video gaming. It’s sad seeing how many developers and creators are getting laid off while their CEOs report record earnings but then we are seeing what smaller groups of focused people can do. The way Arrowhead puts it is perfect, “a game for everyone is a game for no one.” They knew what they were doing from the start and haven’t swayed from that expectation that they set on themselves.
Subbed and hope to see more videos on democracy in the future
Love that quote from Arrowhead 🙌 definitely is an interesting time for gamers.
I’m glad you’re sticking around man, I appreciate that! New vid later today 👀👍
Hell Divers 2 is the only game I have ever played where once you purchase a warbond (battle-pass) you get to keep it forever, there is no end dates or countdown timer or anything like that, you finish your warbonds at your own pace.
The music when you dive, never gets old 😍
Never does 😍😍
You can tell who the COD players are by when they walk in front of an auto turret, die, start screaming, and then start team killing because they can't figure out its their own fault.
Lol
They buy the same slop every year and wonder why cod never improves back to the peaks of BO2, They aren't really the smartest batch of gamers.
I am hoping things change and people realize to start playing games that actually deserve attention and not ones from triple a studios that are soulless.
Another way to spot them is they complained HD2 is repetitive when they haven't actually play with different kinds of strategems and weapons which make the gameplay to be different. And these kinds of people probably only play the easy missions.
@@Lupercal1901Just like the game journalists when they played Doom Eternal😆.
I feel like the way the Helldivers team makes the money is actually fair, They give you cheap and good content, while you give them a small bit of money that they earned(Edit: Save Helldivers from the Sonytomatons!)
Agreed even the MTX are affordable. And the game itself is cheaper than cod mtx 😂
@@lAMDEWAN BTW you don't have to buy Warbonds, you can find Supercredits in Missions at points of minor interest.
Helldivers gave me the weird sensation that I actually WANTED to give them more money to support them so I buy supercredits anyway xD
True that. I’ve been 20 hours in and already got all the credits needed for my premium war bond (no purchases, got it all in-game and thru the free pass). Feels good
And hey I’ve bought the last 2 war bonds by just roaming the map and finding credits
@@PREQuEL407 Exactly, you don't even need to put money in the game after the initial purchase to earn the premium warbonds. Getting SC from missions is so easy.
I barely get to play HD2 because of my busy work schedule, and only play about 6 to 10 hours a week, sometimes less. And yet I have obtained all the premium warbonds so far completely for free.
This is awesome, it's been so long since I've been this greatly entertained from a creator and not been bored, you remind me of content creators of old, thank you for you work keep it up
Also in Helldivers 2 you earn Premium currency by playing game ,thats rare nowdays.
Very rare in the state of modern games 🙌
it actually make want to buy the new "battle pass" as a token of customer satisfaction, to thanks the dev team that i can actually choose.
@@Geekezf The best part? They're not timed. You can stop spreading democracy (coward) for months and when you get back, your warbonds will still be there and you'll probably get showered in medals (like I did when I had to stop playing to upgrade my PC in the name of Democracy)
I think that what's even more rare is that you get SC at a reasonable rate if you're going for the "Loot Boxes" (shipping containers), "Distracting Ads" (beacon pods), and "Refer a Friend Promotions" (double doors) that litter every match you go into
@@Geekezf I buy them because I think "I don't want to grind the currency needed" unlike most games where I say "I don't want to buy it"
Don't mind me I'm just here watching and having a cup of liber-TEA
🍵
*COD players crying about anything COD*
"Wow that's crazy!" *sips liber-TEA*
Lethal company, pal world, and now Helldivers two have put triple A gaming studios to shame and I’m so glad it did
Absolutely love to see it
Me hearing the based arguments: He's got a point, based.
Me watching him playing on the second difficulty AND having fun: Based
Me internally: Haha go helldive
See this is what we need. Nerds making the games and not the suits making the games
We all know that these gaming industry giants are in for the money with no passion but my god, cod franchise is stink BAD.
💯
As a HellDivers 1 vet it makes me very happy to see this game doing well. I used to play 1 with my Nephew and when 2 came out he texted me very excitedly.
Halo 3 ODST and Helldivers 1 used to be one of my favorite games of all time, seeing this game for the first time it was indescribable, beautiful, a game where it can make a man cry out of nostalgia and joy, seeing those triple A companies nowadays is like they treat us without even caring about us just about the money, and it is the first time buying a DLC from helldivers 2 and not regretting buying it I didn’t care if it sucked or if it was pay to win but I cared about those legends who showed the community and the triple A company that if you get the community agreement you would get everything you need, I am so happy to see helldivers 2 became so popular and those devs definitely earned their respect.
Love what you said about the nostalgia and joy, it’s so true and such an overlooked aspect of game development-especially in AAA industry. Arrowhead has absolutely earned their respect.
Indie company: *makes something with actual passion and not to make money*
AAA companies: these ways are unnatural
100% lol
One of my favorite things about the superstore is: they don't list super credits as a $100 bundle with 'BEST DEAL' written on it. The highest you can spend is $20, and that's enough for 2 full gear tree unlocks. That's fucking insane and I love it. I ALSO love that if you spend that $20 or whatever, it doesn't give you 1999 credits or some bullshit like that; it actually gives you 2100 creds! I mean you're still a little uneven, but giving you more for your money? I adore this company.
Arrowhead is the BEST!!
if you think about it more they give you even more. since you get like 300 free for every gear tree. so in essence you get like 2.7 gear trees
And i see that noone mentions you can ears the super credits, thats literally the only way i have unlocked 2 warbonds and well on my way (70%) to unlocking the 3rd one
This is what I wish halo infinite did in 2021. you win by being better than the competition. People support you if you do what the competition does better.
This cosmetics should never be so overpriced and its about time people realize the value of them is as valuable as an NFT and they shouldn't be 30 to 50 bucks for just one skin.
Don’t forget that one person outsold call of duty,which was a Roblox developer.
Lethal Company you mean?? Yup 👍
It's gonna be really sad if lethal company OR helldivers 2 gets game of the year
Why would it be sad@@chickennugget-agentfuture
@@aviumstrepitus5158 because they definitely derserve it
@chickennugget-agentfuture oh. I think you forgot a don't in your comment, cause it makes it seem like you don't want either to win
I used to play helldviers 1 with my friends and it was crazy fun just as helldivers 2 and it is still fun to this day. I genuinely dont know how more people didnt know about it.
Yeah its pretty crazy
I thought helldivers 2 was going to flop. Man, I'm so happy I was wrong.
Props to you brother to accept being wrong thats rare to see nowadays.
I'm doing my part
I've been playing Helldivers 2 with my coworkers in the last two hours of work, after management has gone home. After one session a coworker said they were thinking of getting the game --I handed them 40$ and said do it, Managed Democracy needs us.
You forgot to give him a nice cup of Liber-Tea!
Good man
Absolute chad move 😁👍
Helldivers 2 STILL has 80k players (at its lowest) to 250k players (at its highest) CONSISTENTLY. Its been 2 months!
That’s only on steam…
458,709k highest player count actually, not 250k, according to Steam. And that’s just on Steam.

Masterpiece
Did you take a week off? cuz that's a fuckton! LOL
I don’t even need to watch the video to know that they just made a game that was actually fun instead of a 80 dollar micro transaction that was labeled a “game”

I had a stroke reading the end of this
@@mrcup4775 Stroke redding the end of DEMOCRAY AVRYWON!
The real FOMO of this game is missing out on the story of the galaxy war. Not being part of the crucial major order is a huge FOMO moment
The best kind of fomo 😎
The FOMO of not being there when you were called apon to serve democracy. I will tell you this, I didn't miss out on the glorious conquering of the creek but the future helldivers will be sad they missed out.
I’m going to be there when we glass Cyberstan until the planet is but fire and ash.
Yeah. I was there when we lost malevelon creek first time. I was there when we took out automatons. Granted they came back in force two days later but still!
@@ChangedCauseYT-HateFoxNames Rise fellow creek veteran!
It isn't just Helldivers 2 that is gaining more love than a triple A title, it's pretty much most of, if not the entire Indie Game Dev side of things. The devs of Lethal Company, the devs of Deep Rock Galactic, and even the ones of No Man's Sky after their rocky start. Most of the AAA Game devs have lost any sort of touch with their playerbases, now running their games off of how much they make. With the smaller dev teams, it feels more about the passion of making a game that people will love, and their success is based on how much people will stick around and play.
Very well put. AAA devs are absolutely out of touch with their player base.
The era of gaming is really changing in recent years, if we look at the latest biggest successes which have really marked players, there are Among Us, Lethal Company and Helldivers 2, only independent games (especially Lethal company which was literally made by 1 person) People are starting to get fed up with the greed of big studios who only see profit in gaming, and not offering a product that they are proud to present to the public so that everyone has fun, and that's exactly why independent studios will really take a major place in the world of games in the future
I love that you can find the Super Credits in game. You don’t have to buy a single SC with real money if you don’t want to. And all the Battle pass stick around so you can work on it on your own time.
Love it dude, progression actually exists in this game 😅
The best part for Warbonds they only cost a 1,000 credits which to purchase that amount is only 10 dollars online it's really not that bad to be honest
@@travzac619 and you can’t just buy your way through the Battle Pass either. You have to play the game. And they give you so many opportunities to get medals. It’s a grind, but it doesn’t feel like one
@@TheNorthie it's a good thing they didn't put up medals online for purchase I really like to do the missions and earn them even on higher difficulty.
@@travzac619 and the major orders and personal orders give people so many medals.
It’s not even just call of duty players
I think helldivers does a good job of bridging the gap between many people who probably wouldn’t otherwise be playing together.
I never liked call of duty and I generally like more story driven games, but it’s one of the few games my step dad really plays.
Suffice to say we didn’t really play together much until helldivers 2 came out and it’s honestly genuinely fun to play something with him we both love.
Completely right. Everyone of all different tastes are joining the Helldivers. It’s a genuinely fun game made with passion.
I even heard that Playstation players want to have XBox players join in too
"Let's get the ODSTs as reinforcement!"
Palworld and Helldivers 2 devs just seem far more human, and wholesome actually encouraging their playerbase to be normal and have a good time
The funny thing is, is that Sony did not believe in the success of Helldivers 2.
Bro cod is like that one uncle that is trying to fit in with everyone but can't while Helldivers 2 is the other uncle that stands out that everyone loves. I'm for sure buying Helldivers 2 now.
Lol so true 😂 HD2 will be worth your money 💯💯
We all know that uncle. He dresses in "cowboy like" apparel, always seen with a beer but never is drunk because they stop after one can because they know moderation; talented in their favorite past time such as hunting while teaching lessons that you want to learn, never missing a niece or nephew's events/birthday and "second father" of sorts. Yeah, helldivers is that.
COD: Greetings fellow young people
What actually is impressive is the game is bugged as hell. Like it is really bad. Every 3 to 5 games I get stuck in a rock or under the earth or get stuck in third person shooting an invisible gun that you can't really aim and you have to find the magical combo of diving and/or shooting or crouching to get out of it. And yet it is still fun even as crazy buggy as it is.
Just played after I posted this, and a bomb landed near me. Everything began rattling and shaking, but it didn't stop so it was like being trapped inside a popcorn maker. It stayed that way until I died. And my teammates had big purple ?s affixed over them. Like I said, supper buggy, and despite that, you just want to play again.
@@Degarth helldivers 2 is one of the few games where, when a bug does happen its really funny.
What I’m saying 😂 feels like ps2 days. Like it’s a part of the game.
Still less buggy than some AAA or 1st party exclusives that have come out the last few years.
Bugginess could be high ping between players. Works to switch game (for me atleast)
10:18 Funny note: Stardew Valley also outperformed COD which i find hilarious
Yup 😂
This aged very well😂😂😂😂😂
I just love how you can find fun in Helldivers 2 even after dying or losing
Yup the fun never ends lol
I remember laughing a shiton after my friend landed on me accidentally, friendly fire is most of the time extremely funny
Its playing for your friends rather than against them
Bile Titan: *Kills a Helldiver*
Said Helldiver: *Guided missle*
The coolest thing is that super credits only allows you to buy the warbond. You still HAVE to play the game to earn the stuff in it. You can't buy your way to a completed warbond. And, as your working on one warbond, organically through the 100 credit bonuses in all the bonds, and the small amounts you can find in game, you'll earn enough to buy the next warbond. It's genius.
The helldivers experience is the exact same as the edf experience, both games have you going “you seeing that carpet of giant ants? Eh, send in a carpet bombing and maybe they’ll all disappea- oop there goes tommy flying across the map”
*in the board room*
“Alright guys. We need to make a fun game”
“Sir I have a good ideas, we could see what COD does… and not do any of that.”
*helldivers 2*
Why? because Helldiver doesnt need to chase trends in the hopes it could stay relevent unlike cod that needs to copy the most popular thing
Exactly right 🎯
Call of Duty Heck Jumpers releasing in 2025 😂
@bretwilliams249 nah its be heaven launchers 🤣
@@chickennugget-agentfuture Both you wrong. It's going to be called "heavens accent", wouldn't want to insult anyone.
@@ChangedCauseYT-HateFoxNames ah ok
Some guys from work told me about Helldivers initially. I remember thinking it sounded cool, but still being hesitant given the state of the gaming market.
They continued to talk about it for a few weeks, and eventually I was like "Okay, I gotta see what this is." So, I watched some gameplay, and I was like "Oh, this does look like a pretty cool game."
I still held out for a bit longer, kept up with the news on the game for a bit. Kept hearing nothing but good things, so I gave in and bought it.
The intro scene was so epic, the music was so awesome, the writing was witty, clever, and amusing. And the gameplay was just stunning. Even still, I'm sometimes blown away by the scale of the battles, explosions, and landscape.
I think I played almost non-stop for 2 weeks straight (including nights after work) and put over 100 hours in after one month of owning the game 😅.
It really is that good. Helldivers 2 has captured something really awesome, and I'm glad I decided to join the ride!
Right on! Everything about this game goes back to the developers putting passion into it.
literally the exact same story for me
Arrowhead has good communication with the community, so when places like the creek happened, they can turn that into more fun
They know how to give the people what they want 🙌🔥
When Soap die in new MW3
I saw nothing happen
No one feeling sad or posting about it
But when Malevelon Creek war happen, i keep seeing memes happening
These meme are the reason i buy this game
I finally found a game that can make me play in long term and leave trash COD behind
Why would I, a game dev who makes a living out of milking these no-life incels for their money, want to communicate with these peasants for any reason? They'll pay me for nothing and be happy for it.
Yes, I'm being sarcastic.
An hour ago I was playing on a nighttime mission against the bugs. Visibility was low, we were on a suicide mission and some guy called a gating sentry to the extraction point. Only thing enabling us to see the incoming bugs was the muzzle flash of that turret and some construction lights around the point. I'm on low graphs but my man that was a sight almost as cinematic as battlefield 1. It was scary af as well. This game is a masterpiece for connecting people more with that non toxicity policy and delivering the atmosphere just right
The other day, my friends and I were waiting on evac on a terminid desert planet. We were on a decline, surrounded by slopes that towered over us. All of the terminids spawned on the hill and came running down in hordes at us. All the while, I kept thinking of that scene from Mulan when the huns arrive and charge down the mountain.
"Prepare to fight! If we die, we die with honor!"
Yes sir love how the game is social!! 🙌🔥
I once had to extract as the last member of my team, the ship was gone, there were fire tornadoes on the extraction, and a charger and 20 other smaller bugs were chasing me. I had to run around for more than a minute with only 1 stim, grab my partners samples, and somehow just barely managed to get onto the ship. It's moments like that which really make the game fun and worth every penny.
Helldivers 2 and lethal company both have something cod don't, actual love for their game....
Fr, cod devs now don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
Helldivers, Palworld, Lethal Company, and Deep Rock Galactic are the four horsemen of fucking amazing indie games
Yes sir!! 🙌
i'm not really sure helldivers, deep rock galactic and palworld count as indie, they've got studios and funding
@makinnir indie generally means not a major corporate group. Indie films have studios, they just are not part of Hollywood.
This is stardew valley erasure
Get Palworld out of that list.
COD used to have the greatest FPS single player campaigns. Now it's just arena hell....
Pretty much
Correct me if I'm wrong. Arrowhead doesn't have 100 dev. They have 100 staff. This could mean they have around 30 dev.
Yeah even better. 100 is just the safe bet
remember when entire map packs used to be 10$ lol for 4 maps and a zombies map, now you spend 40$ to get 1 nicki skin and p92 pistol that shoots salt water into your OWN eyeballs
When cod did live service the right way
Yeah you used to actually get content instead of a worthless digital appearance to draw in the Fortnite kids
Dude, I’ve met a couple of cool people in this game. It feels wholesome because it’s an us vs them mentality. It’s awesome.
It really is
They did it with one simple strategy: not being trash and only making that trash for the purpose of only money
🙌
Helldivers 2 has been so refreshing I don’t even want to play another call of duty past black ops 3.
Yup no need to
the fact that you even KNOW the names of "recent" CoDs means you are part of the problem. Any sane gamer have not even vomited towards "games" like CoD / Battlefield / Fifa etc etc.
@@_Lunariathat’s just false, you’ll always hear about them wherever you go, it’s not considering to even buy these trash games.
Plus some of those games have some pretty good campaigns, I mean games like mw2019 which was an absolute banger of a campaign and a not too bad multiplayer, micro transactions plagued it later tho.
BO3 was mid af, BO4 was way better. But for the most part CoD fell off like a decade ago
@@Andreadu34 Yup, thats exactly what a CoD / Battlefield "gamer" would say "But waaah, its really good and not at all predatory macrotransactions paytowin bullshit riddled pieces of garbage" xD
I know that you have a serious case of Sunk Cost going on, as you must know deep inside that those "games" are utter shit, but cause you spent money on them like a..erm.. "special" person, you must try to convince yourself and others, that it wasnt 200% wasted.
Its okay dude, you can let those "games" go.. step into the light and realize that actual proper & good games dont have pay2win mtx that puts you against more p2wnning people so you are forced to spend more money on pay2win, only for the devs to nerf and/or add MORE pay2winnier stuff 2 weeks after.
Malevolent Creek needs you Soldier !
It is absolutely hilarious that HD2 gave us a new Warbond bundle for 10$ to easily obtain in a very easy and passionate and fun way, while COD brought a new King Kong Gauntlet which you need to unlock after purchasing the rest of the bundles that costs about 80$!!
The fact I could watch Godzilla x Kong like 4 times irl and then buy the DVD when it comes out all for the same price of that dumbass fucking glove is staggering.
It’s a complete joke 😂
I don't play cod anymore so hearing the "king Kong gauntlet" just sounds like a meme. Oh how the game has changed since I seriously played and liked it.
You don’t actually have to spend $10 on the new warbond as you can get the credits in game. Therefore any warbond can be purchased with in game currency and you don’t have to spend any cash on getting any warbonds.
@lAMDEWAN damn.....I admire your conviction to replying to the comments. More than 90% of the comments have you on the reply section. Bravo
Helldivers warbond tiering is also not focused on giving you "better" stuff but instead "quirkier" stuff. In fact if you bought every warbond and unlocked everything by snapping your fingers you wouldn't even know what to use all the weapons for. By the time you have an idea for one, you'd probably have unlocked it naturally in the same amount of time.
So true there are so many items to unlock
It’s funny how you mention that older cods were more social and you could meet some life long friends. Literally one of the people I currently play helldivers with is someone I met in MW2 all the way back in 2009 and have been playing various games with ever since.
Testament as to how they brought players together
We real OGs don't even touch any cod after cod ww2.
game is so good we got a real life mission against sony and won, For democracy fellow Helldivers ✊
For democracy 🫡
Helldivers 2 didn't beat CoD. It thoroughly spanked it and made it call him Daddy.
😳😳
“He had us in the first half not gonna lie”
Even when i get team killed by a explosion i still love my Helldiver brothers in arms. I haven't even run into a "bad player" only people that want to be a good teamate. FOR OUR HOME SUPER EARTH
FOR SUPER EARTH 🌎
I took a guys sniper by accident in the game and he straight up began to melee me because I took it.
only ever ran into a few bad players, and they were pretty bad, but everyone elee has been great
@@The-No-onesame, I accidentally misclicked my gun and shot him once..
He killed me and then stole all of my samples and then kicked me out, even when I said misclick
@@Catzislife I accidentally shot someone when we were extracting, he died, I said sorry and then he kicked me.
I quit playing cod for 3 years and im planning to join the HellDivers 2 community and the game itself
Solid plan
@@lAMDEWAN Thanks man...just I got so much tired of the BS cheats and hackers ruining the CoD community and the streamers...oh boy, hacking literally and the dev's not doing nothing about it, so I quit playing WarZone...now I am playing CoD Ghost DLC Bundles, but mostly I am in DayZ and now Im planning to join HellDivers 2 and Car Drifting X
Unlocking a new battle pass in Helldivers equates to about 20 hours or one to two matches every day between battle pass releases. pretty reasonable compared to some games.
I think HD2 succeeds for multiple reasons, one of which is it doesn't follow FPS trends such as enhanced mobility, no fast 'zippy' movement, has brilliant particle effects and massive explosions, a weapons sandbox where almost all weapons have their place, and a fun community vibe.
Yup FUN is the word I think of when I think of HD2
And friendly fire
The only good games I've played with said "zippy" and fast movement are boomer shooters. And ultrakill
God, i love the slower movement in HD2. Im so sick of all the fast-paced pvp twitch shooters. Pvp is just way over represented in the market imo.
One of the things about the warbonds is you have to use super credits to unlock them but you allso have to actually play the game to get medals to be able to get the equipment inside them
Yup and it’s fun to play through it
