      Honestly I’m just happy to see a game half the price of AAA games that A) is fun and B) not riddled with microtransactions/locked behind paywalls. Yes it has some server issues but that is expect whenever a new game releases. I am also loving all the parodies and references to popular space sci-fi movies

    Yesterday I had a moment which was really cool to me, but might not sound as cool written down. My buddies called in an extraction, while I was trying to close a few remaining bugholes. So the timer was counting down, and I had to run to the extraction site, when I saw that my buddies were shooting a lot of bugs in front of me. I was being chased by a few bugs, and I just couldn’t stop. I started shouting “Cease fire! Cease fire! Friendly coming in”, and my friends stopped shooting so I could squeeze in between them and arrive at the extraction site. It was such a cool moment as I saw my friends reloading their guns and covering behind a concrete block, waiting for me to pass to start shooting the bugs again. This game has so many cinematic moments, I love it!

    Me and my friends played the first helldivers game. We played it for a long time and have always loved these horde shooters. We've played lots of Vermintide, darktide, and mostly Deep rock galactic; ROCK AND STONE! But we've actually said many times while playing those that while we love the way they play, the dream would be a Helldivers 2 with first person or over the shoulder, and the excitement we felt when it was announced was crazy. The atmosphere and the spectacle is something that sells the game so much and I think elevates it above many other horde shooters. So fun hearing your thoughts Jake, and been loving the FPS podcast!

  • @smokey_mcbong

    The 1st game was and still is very fun. All of the weapons in the 2nd installment are the same weapons available in Helldivers. The only brand new weapon that the sequel introduced that the 1st game didn't is the Spear. In fact in terms of both stratagems and weapons the sequel has is a lot less then prequel but to be very fair the 1st game didn't start out with all of its content from the get go it was added over time and I am 100% sure this will get the same treatment. There are a number of major differences between how some of the stategems and equipment works though. For example a weapon/equipment strategems were a 1 time call down. If you lost your weapon due to death and your team mates don't help you to recover them you cannot call down another. A number of offensive strategems had limited uses as well the sentries being one of them. Once you used up all the charges that's it. similar to how you can only use the orbital laser only 3 times per mission. The biggest thing you could do in the 1st game was use multiple copies of the same strategem. It was a legit feature not some exploit that Arrowhead recently patched for Helldivers 2. Lastly there not only mechs but multiple vehicle types, ranging from a 2 man mortorbike with a mounted machine gun to a heavily armed APC with a main cannon and twin sponson mounted machine guns. Now that the new game is a 3rd person with large scale maps those vehicles will be a great addition as it will make it easier to traverse the maps in the game. Some missions and maps are so large that just moving around them can be tedious and since higher difficulties have so much more secondary and optional objectives to do just having a vehicle will make getting every single optional and secondary objectives doable for everyone.
    Sorry for the long post. I hope it was insightful.

    The first Helldivers was very similar to what 2 is. It was also an excellent game but a bit more niche than 2. Obviously the major difference was that it was a top down, twin stick shooter with simpler graphics and was not a live service game but everything else was basically there. The call in system, the mission structure, the tone, the difficulty, the friendly fire, the "co-op play is essential" game design. They've very much taken that game and just made it look awesome, done it in 3rd person and added the live service elements in a thoughtful way. It's honestly wild how similar it is aside from those few fundamental core changes because I wasn't sure it would work but they just nailed it across the board

    Since you asked, here's my favorite moment so far:
    Very early in the game, Lv5 or, I'm on a bug planet and need to destroy some eggs and kill a charger. Two man team, complete stragners.It's dark, there's a green fog further limiting our visibility, and camouflaged Stalkers are going through our reinforcement reserves like an anteater through a termite colony. Feels like we're in the first Predator movie and it just switched from mindless action to horror.
    It just doesn't look like we'll make it, but we somehow manage to squash the eggs and the Stalkers, as the last of them liberates my guts from my abdominal cavity. That's when the charger rears its uglry head and my teammate has a brilliant idea: he tags the huge bug and calls in a reinforcement. As the pod streaks through the skies like an oversized bullet, I can see the tag and can steer towards it. I pull hard on the left stick and ... KA-THUNK. Right through the charger's disgusting thorax! Mission accomplished!

    I was a longtime player of Helldivers 1, and the evolution of the sequel while still maintaining just about everything from the original game in a weird way reminds me of returning to Shadow Moses Island in MGS4 and seeing all of those great classic environments rendered in beautiful modern day graphics

    I got tired of multiplayer PvP quite a few years ago, I generally prefer single player story games. Bought this on the off chance it would provide a pallet cleanser, but I can't not log in everyday and spread democracy and freedom! I've met new friends and played with old friends. When I've played with randoms, the lack of toxicity is so refreshing, everyone i've encountered want to do the best they could for the team. In a lot of ways, it such a wholesome game and I'm all in for it!!

  • @jaminfratello4117

    I'm loving the game, it's hilarious and epic at the same time! My favorite moment I've had so far was when we were fighting Automatons, and my friends had all died, and it was just me. The horde was closing in, the rain was pouring: the scene was set. I pulled out my orbital strike stratagem, yelled, "FOR DEMOCRACY!" and as I went to throw it, I got shot in the face which ragdolled me to the ground, dropping the orbital strike right at my feet, and when I stood back up, I was like, "OH CRAP!" as I got blown into smithereens! Best gaming moment of the year so far!

    Pro tip, if you hold the reload button it gives you options to change the scope range and some weapons can change from semi auto to automatic and so on. They don't show this in the tutorial so it makes the sniper much better by going from a 50m zoom to a 200m zoom

    I really love how satisfying everything feels, from the gunplay to the different animations of everything. People keep telling me to use the Railgun because it's really good but the satisfaction i get from picking up an Expendable Anti Tank shooting the biggest bug and chucking it to the ground is palpable.
    I can't wait for them to iron out the stability stuff and perhaps buff my favorite weapon the Spear :3

    I am a Helldivers 1 vet. About 130 hours in the original game. I still like it to this day. I've actually been playing it a bit again since HD2 is so hard to get logged into at the moment.
    Great game. No real complaints aside from some minor weapon balance things and how finicky clambering over certain geometry is (I wish they would ease up on restrictions for what height you can mantle over).
    I'm looking very much forward to Mechs and eventually vehicles. Bumming around in an APC or tank with your friends would be so sick, especially since some of the maps are really huge. I also hope they add the Illuminate (the third alien faction from the original), though the thought of them doing the reversed-controls thing again when you get "mind-controlled" terrifies me.

  • @jamesminter70

    I played the first game. First played it on playstation 3 because my friend had it and as someone who loved dead ops arcade in cod black ops that game resonated with me. Just the chaos and how easily just a simple mission could turn to a fight for survival if you didn't respect your enemy. I then bought it on pc and played for quite some time but couldn't get any of my friends to purchase it, but the community was diehard and the fact you could join anyone and mid mission made for some great RP scenes. I didnt know about this game until a week ago. Safe to say, I've been grinding since I downloaded it. This is the first game in years where I just had pure fun with a game. It was hilarious to be killed by and kill my friends. Like you said the tone, plays a huge part. While serious in retrospect it's hard to stay serious when your characters, and your friends have such a jovial and kid like attitude toward the game. This game has officially made me feel like a kid again in the best way.

    Yesterday, tried a 2P Rescue Science Teams on Extreme. We managed to rescue ~20/40 before time ran out. For extraction, I had to navigate around two Automaton tanks to get to the shuttle. The shuttle was hovering over the helipad and not landing until I got close enough that I could board it. Easily my most exhilarating extraction to date. I might upload that gameplay to my YT later today.

    These developers have set the standard for how communication and openness should be. They have been amazing. They are constantly pushing out updates and keeping everyone updated on whats going on. And what CEO would come out and tell the community to maybe hold off on buying the game until server issues and have been fixed? They seem to truly care about this game and more importantly the community. Hats off to them.

    I called reinforcements and pinged the tank for my buddy to drop on. There was a loud BOOMF when he managed to do it. But, as he ascends from his hellpod, the second explosion from the tank catches him and he flies across the map. He was in the air, deemed as a traitor, before dying from impact.
    I wish I had recorded that lol
