Explaining Helldivers 2 to a friend #gaming #helldivers2 #videogames #helldivers #ps5 #pc

It's even better when you find out the insects basically become oil when they decompose, that's why they are being "liberated"

[crabbowiththestabbo]

“Nooo… it’s imperialism noooo…”
Sounds like someone is going to Freedom Camp!

[Lechuga]

*first meeting with aliens*
"They're not hostile, but we're not gonna wait around till they are"

[STARPHASE]

It's not propaganda, it's satire. The humor in Helldivers is great on so many levels.

[Ornzora]

Easiest way to explain it :
"Lore accurate 40K Guardsmen"
"Which guard ?"
"Yes"

[rythmiccoma]

Fun Fact: on Super Earth every member of society is given a 'Constitution' rifle upon their 16th birthday. An archaic, ceremonial weapon, that is straight up just an M1903 Springfield Rifle.

[HoovyGaming]

helldivers in a nutshell: "TRIPLE THE DEFENSE BUDGET"

[risingwind]

My favorite question about 40k is "So the humans are the good guys?" I just start maniacally laughing.
No. There is NO good in 40k.

[lancsdragon]

Best explanation:

ODST’s with starship trooper mindset and manufacturing might of 40k

[MaxTeky]

Helldivers is a beautiful amalgamation of Starship Troopers, Starwars, Warhammer 40k, Halo and Terminator.

[darkreflection]

Halo ODST’s + Starship Troopers + A pinch of Warhammer 40k = Helldivers

[servandoherrera]

If you put aside the fact that you serve a government that kills, enslaves, and mistreated alien and its OWN people, you can appreciate its revolutionary system where the whole player base influences the game.

[autobotskyflame]

"He who allows the alien to live shares its crime of existence"

"Suffer not the alien to live"

[_KINGER_]

3 things a new helldiver needs to know:

1 : Freedom
2 : Democracy
And lastly
3 : *Commercial genocide of a otherworldly bug race on various different planets is morally and legally okay if it conflicts with the 2nd thing*

[agristina]

The satire in it is pretty good. We’re clearly the bad guys and the missions even prove it. There are “stop the illegal transmissions” missions on bug planets. The bugs don’t have tech…

[tsyaboi]

*"If I Realize that this Game is Actually Just Imperalism Hidden behind heavy layers of Propaganda"*
Bro Summed up the Plot faster than his friend lol

[JakvsMetalheads]

“If all the nations live together in harmony and peace, then who are they fighting?”

“Klendathu…”

Explaining Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to a friend; “So, Batman just up and dies”

[HellfireWD]

For an OG Helldiver veteran all these new hype vids and skits and articles are super hilarious. Back in our days, a 100 years ago we had no guides or vids, we had our guns and our mates. Who occasionally spawn on top of us for no apparent reason.

Younger kids playing this game out here like "what's Starship Troopers?" and then I feel the pain of my old ass aging.
