[@RowbyVids]

Apologies. I got the bots (socialists) and bugs (fascists) backwards. Remember to vote blue no matter who.

[@thatJackBidenTalksAbout]

For anyone who isn't so great at detecting sarcasm: you *play* as the fascists (or at least, their minions), who have reorganized their society into one big corporation. Some more context from the first game: "Questions regarding the Federation or Government of Super Earth shall be sent to the appropriate quadrant. It is illegal to express oneself openly about the Federation or Government of Super Earth in a negative manner and serious cases may result in arrest or termination. Brought to you by Super Earth Pt Ltd. Sponsored by Super Earth." Super Earth's "managed democracy" is a black box that always gives you the same outcome no matter what you choose, quote "Mankind has improved upon the old concept of Democracy. Utilizing computer aided voting software, citizens are asked to answer several questions, and the outcome of their vote is decided upon by the computer. This removes the uncertainty that existed in the old systems where voters didn't understand fully what they were voting for, giving us Managed Democracy." The bugs are slaves that are/were farmed for the resources that enable FTL travel, the automatons were created by political dissidents (the cyborgs) who may or may not have been entirely socialist. Citizens who doubt whether the terrorist bombings Super Earth uses as a justification to attack the Cyborgs are actually caused by anyone affiliated with the Cyborg Nation were decried as "Cyborg sympathizers". People even turn in their own family members for not respecting the Super Earth flag *enough.*

"And I love little helldivers jumpin' on my lap"

[@StephenSchleis]

Super earth is the fascists

[@Tortle-Man]

Technically the Helldivers are the fascists. Bots are socialist and bugs are communists. The illuminate (faction from first game will eventually arrive) are socdems. No this ain’t the lore, I’m just talking out my ass

Thank you for the Hellsing Ultimate Abridged reference. Love that.

[@nicholash.7656]

Nice. They fixed the servers, next they will fix the armor and add more things.

[@fortniteamongus8826]

YES

[@lucasrome2301]

What’s wrong with the armor?

[@lucasgardner4358]

@@lucasrome2301protection from heavy armor has been broken since launch, meaning there’s little reason to use anything but light armor right now. The other stats and bonuses on armor do seem to work, though. When armor is fixed, heavy armor will probably protect from a lot of the one-shot-kills in the game right now.

[@FuzzyWalrus123]

It'll still be a boring walking sim with a Lil bit of shooting.

@@FuzzyWalrus123 Hope you got a refund if you did not enjoy it. Have a good one.

[@greybigfoot1722]

Lowkey I feel like you could do a separate video on each of the 4 Dwarves in DRG, so I'm kind of glad Helldivers got voted first.

[@RowbyVids]

I didn't plan to do that, I feel as though that'd be too much

[@greybigfoot1722]

@@RowbyVids Aside from the basic roles & abilities, every dwarf has got 6 weapons, 4 grenades, and 2 utilities. With some modifiers that change the playstyle. It's totally up to you how in-depth you wanted to go. I'm NGL I have hundreds of hours and barely touched half of the weapons, so it would probably take a lot of research to write enough notes, I see your point.

[@_orion_5411]

fun fact: the bugs are fascists and robots are socialists. said so in advertisements you can listen in your ship.

[@thatJackBidenTalksAbout]

The advertisements are propaganda - you play as the fascists, the bugs are slaves and the automatons were created by political dissidents.

One thing you got wrong. You aren't fighting for your life, you're fighting for SUPER EARTH AND DEMOCRACY!

[@nafereuskortex9055]

Hellsing abridged is one of the most quotable Abridged series I have ever seen, my favorite moment from an abridged though is I'm at soup though.

[@ApalledAppendix]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HELLSING ABRIDGED REFERENCE

[@stegalin96]

A little thing you left out that sets this game apart. The “war bonds” or battle passes never expire.

wow after playing this game 16 hours now i cannot agree with this more.

[@Sl0thESP]

My man risking putting the weed mission song into the video

[@endplanets]

It would be nice to be able to play as Joe, a mini Joel. Joe is the 5th antagonist player who can build mines which generates money for him to drop in enemies and unlock stronger enemies.

[@Enigma-c9v]

Oh hell ya. Funny beanie man uploaded

[@CaptainZlex]

I would be more interested in this game if the Left 4 Dead 2 Versus player base hadn’t gotten a hold of it. If you know, you know.

[@lxlgamemaster1408]

Another awesome video. I can tell that you're improving!

[@GroveNoir]

Love the Far Cry 3 Reference at 6:45 😂😂😂

[@Mkable01]

“The randoms here are feral animals”. Lmao

[@RamadaArtist]

"This is The Phantom Pain without the score reduction." I mean, I knew there was a reason I was gonna like this game so much. MGSV is probably my all time favorite military shooter, largely because it actually lets you mix strategy with tactics, (even if it penalizes you for doing so.) All this game needs is a few more vehicles and it'll start to edge out the BF1942 Desert Combat mod as one of my favorite online shooters.

[@totallynotretro9967]

That Far Cry 3 flamethrower reference was a deep cut

[@CybenX_yt]

no way you played with THE gandalf

[@buttsniffer6914]

Im glad the community collectively agreed that anyone that suggests PVP for this game will be taken out back and dealt with Old Yeller style. So many communities/devs cater to the comp community and im glad both said "hell no" to that brain rot.

[@mawnkey]

"I want PvP in Helldivers 2!" = "I want to stream the popular game but I want it to be the kind of game I like! Waaaaaaaaah!"

[@ubermalice9589]

Bought Helldivers 2. Installed Helldivers 2. Loaded Helldivers 2. Encounter error saying there's too many people playing Helldivers 2. Wait. Wait more. Watch TV, pick my nose and give a bit of attention to the mess between my toes. Sorry toes. Finally get into Helldivers 2. Play through the training portion, spawn on a ship, excited to join the fight for democracy. Walk around ship in Helldivers 2. Lock in limited loadout. Launch like a giant bullet out of hell down to a bug infested planet. Take 3 steps. Die to someone else's laser shooting drone. Helldivers 2 everyone.

The better you get at this game the more it begins to resemble factorio, just automated bug destruction

So many people sleep on smokes but imma say thing, they come in handy on automatons on helldive.

mic sounds better, also this game still gives me heavy 40k vibes but that might be the whole vibe of the game honestly.

This may be the tipping point to finally make me get the game, thanks! Also, the mic sounds great 👍

If you run multiple Eagles and not Orbitals you end up not having to reload until you empty the clip. Also, max your eagles on your ship if you plan on making this work. FOR DEMOCRACY!!

From experiences as a helldiver Randoms can be very useful canon fodder I’ve also played the first game. I am disappointed that I do not get the constitution. Or a bayonet Where is my sword? I do not have one The answer to all questions and problems is simple Arc thrower Rail gun Auto cannon Shield backpack My combination Jet pack Arc thrower 500 kg bomb 110 mm rockets Primary weapon the liberator Secondary weapon the senator Tertiary, fun grenade The first grenade Tactic control hoards Zap the enemy Chargers coming at you jumper or Dodge Bile titan zap the motherfucker Chain the bugs Zap zap Or has some of my favorite lines would be “ lightning bolt, lightning bolt lightning bolt” “I’m the fucking spark man” Payday 2 taser cop

Dawg, I dunno if its somehow become common and acceptable, but if I call shit in, like a back-pack or weapon, I'm okay with someone picking it up if they're in a fight, but once I'm back in the fight.. dawg. Give me my shit back. I took it, to use it, not give you first dibs on my cooldowns. If you wanted the item, you shoulda just taken it to begin with and if you want it that badly, but dont want to waste slots to take more ordinance instead, I would feel MUCH more inclined to give you the next batch when its off cooldown, if you didn't try to rob my corpse and not hand my gear back over. Fyi, if you're doing this don't, it's pretty damn dick-ish.
