@@vozzy06 only major issues that arent being resolved are the bugs. 30,000 concurrent players is still alive and well especially during arrowhead's break
Bro…I will always comeback to this game. Even if the community is at its lowest, Arrowhead has felt with small communities before and thrived with that. I will be with democracy through and through.
Ragebait and negativity farming has honestly become a plague no matter what game or subject you go to these days. RU-vidrs and journalists alike just can't help but manufacture controversy and drama, for the sake of that sweet engagement money they get from it. They have a profit motive to try their best to get us all upset at nothing. Internet users as a whole need to learn to spot the abusive pattern and not fall for it.
@@UnknownSquid Well said, and it's even sadder that players just agree without thinking about things for themselves. Hell, this is a problem that even extends to real life in general. AH designed a non-predatory game, and literally donated to support kids, yet these RU-vidrs and weirdos want to hammer negativity into this company. How often does that happen with these companies? It's those predatory AAA companies that deserve this negativity.
5:21 this actually equated to them donating money IRL to sick kids. We chose correctly, Helldivers. The mines those future Helldivers produce will more than make up for short term setbacks.
Fellow veteran ragdoller, I mean Helldiver here. Really like the way you view the game and appreciate it for what it is rather than complaining and trying to change it into something that it's not like so many other youtubers seem to do.
I have been gaming 37 years and Helldivers 2 is currently in my top 10 games maybe even in the top 3. It's a excellent blend of realism, over the top action and cultural references to every action movie that I have loved. Especially I like that anything new that is coming to the game is a surprise in the field. Still waiting when the tremors manifest as a huge wurm to eat me unless I'm on a rock. Every game has it's bugs and sharp corners but I can see myself diving for Super Earth multiple years to come.
The words "Who wants this planet?" come to mind whenever I see the battlefield covered in flames from fire tornadoes. I will report myself to a democracy officer.
They still keep moving towards you; if you approach them, they automatically start moving in your direction lol. What they fixed was the massive amount of tornadoes that appear during extraction. Sometimes it was simply impossible to stay in the central area due to the sheer number of them.
Its both hilariously fun and unbelievably cinematic. One of the most memorable "cinematic" points of the game when I played was when I and two of my friends were playing against Terminids. We had completed the mission and we were trying to collect samples, especially supers, and also collect all the other goods from the MPI's. They were withdrawing back to extraction and I was way ahead of them (we split up to cut the time and disperse enemy response and reinforcements). I had also brought the first Mech Type introduced in game as a stratagem. They were being chased by a sizable force of Bugs and I had one more mech left in strat inventory. I called it in, and proceeded to crest the hill/ridge side they were sprinting towards and, focusing aim, began to shoot over their heads and place well aimed and accurate covering and suppression fire on the bugs, killing spewers, hunters, scavengers, warriors and hive guards, and a Brood Commander or two. The ordnance and munitions spent were well used and gave them the opportunity to effectively break contact and catch up to my position and pivot towards the extract. It doesn't sound interesting when explained by word of mouth. But watching it unfold looks like a cinematic action scene towards the end of a major action plot scene in a film or AAA game. It was a very satisfying moment.
Just today, on a mining mission, I dove into the trench with the drill and hordes of autonomatons to finish the last sequence on a suicide mission. Three stims and one button press later, the mission was complete and my helldiver was dead. It was an epic moment for me, but still one of a few just in that mission. The better you get at the game, the better the game becomes. There are times for strategy and times for reckless abandon
Wonderful, better than the rage-baiters that keep on saying "the game is dead" and whatever the hell. It's only dead when NOBODY is playing it, and that is the definition people have been proving stupid about. Who cares that it lost 90% of players, it was bound to happen the same way as Lethal Company and other notable games that had the rage going for a few months until it all died down. And plus, around 40k players? That's just the norm count now, and the most needed the devs had expected during the release. Too many idiots want to say crap about the game because they themselves don't have lives, want the attention, are just complete haters, absolute brainrotters, etc. Liked and subscribed to ya!
i agree. tho i will say they do need to fix the increase of crashes and performance issues. I know PC users have it worse, but even on my ps5, ive had weird frame rate drops i never got a month ago and a slight increase in crashing. its fine i still love the game to death, but i dont want them to add a ton of content if its gonna introduce a ton of new bugs for either me or others
@@epsilon1372 Hence why they are taking their time updating fixes and stuff after the every week patch became a bad idea, and since people have been impatient babies is just enough to say those people ain't worth the damn anyways. Especially how complicated codes are, like, they are REALLY trying hard to fix the infinite diving load screen, they at least managed to make it less encounterable until they find the trail to fix it completely. Patience is a virtue, and people had asked too much that they grow impatient... oh, but they also asked less before that! People don't understand a thing as Helldivers 2 obviously is a good game, but it is not perfect like any other game before it.
People who say “this game is dead” are some of the most annoying people in gaming, even though the game may have lost 90% of concurrent players since launch that’s normal, it happens with every game.
I have played games in what could be considered the golden age of games. Like cod 4 and battlefield bad company 2 onwards and I can whole heartedly say that in the past 10 years I have never fell in love with a game as much as helldivers 2. Playing call of duty waw zombies when I was 10 years old are some great memories but this is one of the only games I play now as a adult where I wished I had it when I was 10 years old. Kids have shite games now days but helldivers truly makes me envy kids. I would have gone crazy as a kid playing this.
To be in love with a game has no age restriction. I'm 45 years old and play Helldiver's 2 like a teenager 🤣 The only thing a very young human has and an adult doesn't, is time. And this is sad
Playing 5 weeks non stop...every day after shifts ;D 420hrs and LvL149 and I still can't stop, will reach 150 in an hour .... it's so addictive to me, I JUST CAN'T STOP playing
Johann stepping down as CEO and taking over as Creative Office shows the care that team has for this univerae they've crafted. I am going to be with Helldivers for a long, long time. Might not be as zealous as I was on launch but as always... This is just a small step on the long climb to liberty. We're on a marathon for Democracy, Helldivers. Lets not burn all of our oil too fast and just enjoy the ride.
When he said perfectly designed enemy, I felt it in my bones when I thought "hang on what about".... then he proceeds to show a hunter and go "f*** this guy however" I felt it.... so much
Let me tell you about one of my best moments in game (so far): -Me and a random squad deployed on Marfark in the latter half of Operation Trolley Problem (yes that's the official name), we had just destroyed a few bot fabricators and are moving to extraction, for some reason some guy activated the beacon wayyy too early so me and another guy had to book it to extraction. We were just a skip away from it when we realized we had ran straight into a large ice lake, I was looking for a way across when like 50 bot drops attacked and started RAINING HELL ON US. Then suddenly the other guy dropped his LIFT-850 jump pack and told me to jump the gap, I went ahead and did that but when I turned around, all I see is lasers whizzing by with only a lone diver holding those bots back while a blizzard rolled in and obscured the whole battlefield...
Bugs (terminids) and bugs (glitches) aside I will always love this game. Through all the controversy and trouble, Arrowhead has still shown that they care about this game and want it to be a good experience, in terms of gameplay, immersion, and even in its live service model. They put in more effort than any AAA developer ive witnessed in the past decade. They've earned my respect, and the game is *addictingly* fun. You'll see me playing this until I physically can't any longer.
Love seeing the positivity from someone finally. Too much yapping about how divers are unsatisfied. I've been in the game since day 1, and I can assure everyone in the comments that getting into the pod and diving feels just as cool as it did at day 1
as much as i love helldivers and love arrowhead, they really need to fix this game on a technical level. fix the crashes, performance issues, and game breaking bugs and im happy. still gonna be playing the game regardless tho
And you, young youtuber, we will watch your career with great interest. Seriously though, very well made - keep that up and you'll take off in no time!
Helldivers is the only game company I ever seen where a update comes out and tell us that they know of a bug and then fix it the same week of letting us know that they know of a bug as they come out with a update. There so real. And actually donate money to a organization that needs help.
As dumb as this way sound, this game pulled me out of one of the darkest places in my life. I was contemplating when I saw this game and thought it looked somewhat interesting it gave me in a weird way something to hold on to something to fight for, and I, for one can't thank Arrowhead enough for that I will truly stick by this game and it's community through the bad and good times until the very end
Helldivers 2 lacks one of the biggest problems with the galactic war...Generals within the community! We need top tier Divers and content creators to help Guide and Aid us in the Galactic War. Lead our Divers where we think the war could use the efforts of Democracy. With no one leading us, most of us run around doing what we can in-between major orders but we need proper statigic planning to hold any territory or push certain planets that pose a treat to supply lines. Attention is needed against the Automatons, retaking Matar Bay will cut off forces to the western sectors allowing us to retake those sectors with minimal resistance, if done correctly we can retake 3 sectors within a week and cut off Automatons forces for a good portion of the area they control. Bugs not so much a problem but with the right plan we can push them to the outer rim in less then a week
This is game is the buggiest and most broken game I've ever played and for any other title that would have been a deal breaker within the first month. The fact that i have ~300hrs and counting in the game regardless is a testament to the sheer fun the game is regardless.
So refreshing to see a video unapologetically praising this amazing game, instead of constantly bitching about every stupid little thing that isn't perfect. This is easily one of my favorite games after nearly 40 years of gaming, and I will ride with it until the end!
I used to avoid multiplayer games like the plague because of toxicity in the communities. Then the bastards at Arrowhead made an awesome game where players hug on the battlefield while explosions destroy the enemy, where in-game money can be harvested easily while playing and monthly packs stay in place for always. WTF? Now I'm addicted and love my fellow divers! 🤣❤️
Thank you for actually uploading a positive view of this game and not just going along with the new doom and gloom, fear mongering trend all the other "content" creators have adopted lately. Obsessively talking about the player base numbers and the devs taking a well earned summer break. As a long time member of both the Destiny and Call of Duty communities, this game was an absolute breath of fresh air for me and I am also well and truly addicted to spreading that Democracy. So again, thank you!
Still waiting for the Hive Lords... would make the bugs more interesting to have a full on boss fight going on. On the bot side, a super devastator would be cool. Taller than a facgory strider, covered in guns, needs to be literally dismantled to beat. Would be awesome. And then the Illuminate will come on and screw it all up for us lol
I really don't care when people say 'helldivers 2 is dead' or 'Helldivers 2 will never be the same because of sony' yes it is true, sony did f8ck it up and should unblock the countries but yet we still fight on and of course some players will leave but I will always love helldivers no matter what
Ok, You legit are using Liam Vickers' Music Why is there "Some Disassembly Required" In the background when you are talking about automatons? Don't get me wrong. It absolutely slaps, and absolutely fits But damm, Give Liam some Credits. I know Murder Drones are quite popular but that doesn't mean his musical talents can be put aside Stargazing with Murderous Intent
my only big issue with the game now is that its audio is becoming quieter and quieter on my playstation for some reason. besides the game itself, I'm getting burned out because IMO the community is kinda awful (not saying everybody is, but there's enough people to make me play with only a tightly knit group of people). I don't see how people complain about balance issues and then still want the shield generator backpack to be the same. it just gets tiring to see that and have a fraction of the players always be at the bug front instead of actually helping out the bot front when necessary (I play both, but generally bots). it's just a hassle to get anything done on the western front.
I hate takes like "modern gaming is a scam". As if modern gaming is just companies like ubisoft or Activision. Games are better than ever - you're just playing the wrong ones. But playing Helldivers 2 sure is a good start on playing truly great games.
