HERESY

[@ilovehelldivers5317]

8 years of gameplay, I was there when the rumbler didn't exist, when the Dum-Dum was a new thing, I played 3 years without any DLCs then decided to treat myself to a little something (all the DLCs) I met many players, less than 50 sticked around, then a group of players, the ones that learned the joy that is Melee dodging against cyborgs, We had so much fun, hell, we now dive in Helldivers 2 and I could not be happier to not see a rumbler there

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

For now

[@ravekiller.]

You speak in haikus, what???

[@adamallen7070]

Yah it’s amazing watching people ask for stuff that was in the first game, like swords for instance. Cant wait until years later we think back on how the Railgun was used so much they nerfed it, how a small uprising of Helldivers was quickly crushed, how we didn’t have mechs on Melavelon Creek

[@josephspalding6609]

So is helldiver's 1 a top down hell divers 2 with more content?

[@adamallen7070]

@@josephspalding6609 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ Yes, it came out in 2015 and has several dlcs, many different weapons, LOTS of strategems, a third race and a lot of enemy types. It also has an encyclopedia which gives some lore, and basic mechanics and enemy type information. A lot of the weapons currently weren’t there at launch and the dev team slowly added them with each dlc or update. And in the first game you could actually upgrade each strategem several times instead of doing it all in groups. If you’re fine with the top down approach I’d suggest it just to learn what the older players went through. I didn’t play Hd1 at launch but I discovered it long before hd2 was announced Hd1 can give us a look at what the devs might add in the future of hd2, more enemies, vehicles, mechs, a third race, more strategems

[@Lucc5822]

It saddens me that so many people haven’t heard of/ seen HD1. Such an underrated game, happy to see HD2 get the attention it deserves.

[@ghosted4221]

Surprisingly hd1 is still alive on pc, yeah it's under 1k (i think) but the community is still there

[@VeNoM__007]

Nerds overhyped the game. Only the OGs know the 1st Hell divers

[@melu0o]

its only alive because of hd2. If hd2 didn't exist, nobody would be playing hd1. This is coming from someone that first started playing hd1 since it came out on ps plus @@ghosted4221

[@Phoenix-MX1]

It happens a lot with games. Very little people played GTA1 or 2, but it became popular with GTA3

[@killernat1234]

I think it’s because it went from a top down rpg style game to a third person action shooter

[@thetoasterinyourbathtub1086]

It's crazy that the devs were like "Huh, how about we turn this isometric shooter into a 3rd person shooter?" And it worked extremely well. I think the only other time this has happened was when they turned fallout from an isometric turn based RPG into a 3rd/First person RPG/FPS.

[@alexvanausdall868]

Or freaking risk of rain 2 just going from 2d to a wonderful 3d game

[@lawfuldevil]

Zelda?

[@andylaw3222]

The OG Fallout fans hated F3. And disliked what Bethesda had done. Would be cool if Obsidian would still own Fallout, Fallout New Vegas is still my favorite Fallout game

[@kevadu]

As an OG Fallout fan, I do indeed hate what Bethesda did to the series.

[@GmrGy611]

It’s also funny that around the time Helldivers 2 came out, early access for Deep Rock Galactic’s Top Down autoshooter spin off came out. Meaning that the new Helldivers became like Deep Rock, and the new Deep Rock game became like the original Helldivers.

[@willc3697]

So it’s basically Warhammer 40K except replace the God Emperor with American patriotism

[@markopolo1271]

Pretty much instead of the imperium you got good ole democracy

[@Prefix1998]

Essentially warhammer 40k except the citizens actually have a good life even in the outer colonies.

[@ravekiller.]

40k is ass and is an almaganation of other cool sci-fi’s somehow made into an over the top, turd. I read and watched enough to know how garbage the lore is. It’ll never beat halo, lord of the rings or Star Wars and Star Trek etc. hell divers 2 at least does a cool job and not every faction looks like they were designed by early 2000s blizzard. Hd2 does it the right way and makes it cool without stupid hyperbolic lore and bad character design

[@KaylieRayne]

I miss the cape spinning in HD1 lol.. It was a hellish war, but a fun war.

[@hazwanhashimhjibrahim4500]

Hahaha yeah good old time

[@androidgaming6948]

I still play hd1 and people still do the cap spinning, there are like 600 divers online right now

[@225Reaver]

Helldivers is probably a really good example of "Grimbright", where the universe is absolutely awful but everyone's still having an absolute blast of a good time. It's the Brave New World where most people are lobotomized and happy to Grimdark's 1984 dystopia where everyone's downtrodden and miserable.

[@CLONE_TROPPER]

its so fun

The first still holds up incredibly well. Even after playing the 2nd. It was an underappreciated classic.

I was there. I remember getting my first solo helldive. I remember the creation of the rumbler. I remember when 3 new difficulties were added that made helldives trivial in comparison. I remember getting first place in one of the sword missions. I remember discovering the double freedom and never touching another weapon. I remember getting my third cape.

Not much of a lore video really. The Termanids bodies break down into a unique substance that humanity is using to power their space ship warp drives. This led to them setting up worlds to farm the bugs for the substance and scientists experimented on them (The Stalkers were developed via these experiments). Something has happened tho and the bugs have broken free on the farm worlds and now have an unknown ability to spread to other planets. The Automatons we know very little about in HD2. We suspect they ARE or could be connected to the Socialist Cyborgs from the 1st game as they have a very similar logo on the banners in their bases. The Illuminate were peaceful, but Humanity declared war on them when they found out they had weapons that could destroy entire planets (Altho its implied this was an excuse for Super Earths elite to declare war so they could steal their technology)
