Intro cinematic for Helldivers. Setting up the premise for a plausible enough reason to join the military and blow things up. Hell yes I wanna protect my family!
Its pretty cool how HellDivers 2 re-uses alot of the original dialouge, comes to show that the core personality of the game is still there, just turned up to a billion!
There's like 80 to 90% of that clip they said in the trailer for the 2. I didn't played it but I take it that its mean that your experience in the 1 didn't do sh*t for the story of the way there world work so why not redo it another time ?

I like how they took the sarcastic tone to another level and it works great. You can see in the first one they were still somewhat trying to appeal as a little serious
The first game was definitely not coming off as serious lmao. Read the disclaimer in the bottom left of the “Super Earth Broadcast” screen and tell me they were trying to be serious
@@octocoqyeah sure, but they talk about securing resources for super earth and the rest is kinda vague. In Helldivers 2, they spread democracy to some bugs by blowing them up.
@@thereisa6inthenameyou arent paying attention in 2 then. We aren't just spreading democracy to the bugs: we're pushing them back to the farms we had them on; the bugs' corpses decay and create Oil. We set up the E-710 farms (OIL flipped upside down is 710) to fuel our society. The bigger the bug, the more oil you get when it dies, so they bred bigger and bigger bugs. Someone/thing freed the bugs, and now they're spreading somehow. We need to push them back to the border planets and contain them while we work on dealing with the automatons, who are almost certainly a robot army created by the Cybermen trapped in cyberstan (especially based on the lyrics of their marching cadence).
It's ridiculous how i haven't heard even a bit about helldivers until the second game came out, especially since if i would've gotten any wind of it back then, i definetely would've picked it up.
I'm still baffled that HD2 could become such an insane success while HD1 was just a niche game. - It's basically the same game, just with a different perspective and probably a higher budget.
I think it definitely alters the way it plays too, but more importantly I think there's a much bigger market appeal to a 3P/FPS than top-down. 1 was a blast, 2 is an entirely different blast of the same flavor!
Except Helldivers are total insane killing machines out of those two, they do have comparable kill to death ratio of a Space Marine like thousands to one. Its pretty much a thing a canonical thing. And these madlads kills 8 story tall mechs, large alien worms and whatnot. They go feet first into hell only to fight their way out and ask for round two.
The Spanish voice has so much more strength to it, which is honestly weird. Our dubbers are decent, but usually fail to capture the tone of settings such as this one, but the guy just puts so much spirit into it. Almost compensates that they transalated the liber-tea joke as liber-mug.
Really happy to see as a new lvl 50 player that they kept a lot of it the same basically just gave it a refurbishment. I’m enjoying the hell out of it and sure would have in the first game.
Look I know this is satire and everything, and a ultra-agressive mega-facist super-earth is a nightmare to come, but this opening is just sick as hell. Especially the main menu introduction, seeing those ships jump in and hearing the music gives me chill every fucking time.
+ultrajd Personally, I'd say that this assumption could be made due to the fact that starship troopers was itself a stab at american militant democracy. So since this would be a nod to starship troopers and starship troopers was a stab at the American Military structure, then wouldn't this be considered a certain stab at it too?
- We shall spread managed democracy! - Ah, these marines come from America. - Taste a little LIBER-TEA! - And few of them are from Britain, great... - WHAT?! He is eating those space-bugs?! - And from China. - Hey wtf, he steal wires from that automaton! - He is gonna sell them somewhere on market and buy vodka. - So they really united all people on Earth this time...
@@CasperTheRamKnight Last part is in reference to Russia and the bizarre stories that came out of the current war at how undisciplined their soldiers are, including stealing copper wire from their own tanks.
@@CasperTheRamKnight Nope it's about conscripts salvaging copper wire and optics from mothballed tanks and those tanks being needed for sending at Ukraine, only for them to be unusable.
They have nothing to do with the Waffen SS though, same as nazism and fascism have nothing to do with one another either (as fascism does not have racial mumbo jumbo like nazism) And the skull patches goes way back to the Prussian era. Its more like Western Imperialism than fascism too.
Of course it's an obvious sarcasm to U.S. imperialism. Said imperialism has been doing jingoistic stuff since the American-spanish war. It's a far cry from many ancient empires including the Roman empire.
Just play the first game for a day and you'll have just as much fun as you do in the second game. The top-down perspective also meant that friendly-fire was a lot more common, like... a lot... or you get stomped on by your teammate who's controlling a mech... basically a lot of accidents happened and that made it really fun. I can't wait for HD2 to add Illuminants back (the high tech civilization)
