Helldivers 2: A Super Quick (7 Hour) Analysis

Over the past few months, we've mostly played Helldivers 2. This is a fairly well-known game by now, with a few videos on the matter. However, I'm not certain it gets properly appreciated. We'd like to explain what makes it so compelling.

this is longer than the combine invasion of earth 👍

Ah yes a quick 7 hr video is just what I needed for my 40 min lecture background video

[owenosborne]

Oh boy. This is like getting a whole ass project assigned to you, due tomorrow

[TicklyRyzen]

Did not expect this to drop all of a sudden, but I’m into it

A British gentleman talking about a universe where the people you play are the bad guys and is a satire of parts of our world?

Now, we wait for the Warhammer video. After a healthy helping of Star Wars, I would imagine, but patience is a virtue (I am an Eldar player, and more model kits in this army are old enough to drink than I would like, really).

Just when I was SO close to going to bed on time... *sigh*

The pelican hovering above the extraction point actually is intended behavior. It enters that mode if all players leave the extraction zone after it has spawned in but before it has started landing. It even has a voice line for it.

If you're doing one of those tiny defend missions and are out of range of the extraction it does the same thing.

04:50:44 Wow, that Super Dapper Man Vs Furries game looks sick.

[sethtfp]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

Dudes who use the terminal on the illegal broadcast side objective are the same who say "hey teacher, aren't we going to hand in our homework?"

[jubs]

I literally just rewatched the TPM video and this comes out. It must have been a sign

[theexchipmunk]

5:50 Important note, that`s most definitely a wrong guess. If anything, DRG got it from Helldivers. Because that released in 2015 and DRG in 2020. And Helldivers already had all the mechnics and elements we know from the second installment, if slightly differnt at times, such as Supply Pods with four resupplys in them.

It is so much more fun to check the video progression bar to see how much of the workday is left. What a beast of a video. Great work!

2:29:00 They are not clones, the Viper and steeled veteran warbond démonstrate it. Each Helldiver is a normal individual who gets replaced by another one. We can see that with the Armors from the Viper warbond, the skin colour changes each time and the Steeled Veteran armors have prosthetics which the other armors lack which implies that there is a different guy under it whenever you change armor in gameplay

6:29:15 The belly is the weakness, a few autocanon shots are already enough, if the circumstances are good, a solo helldiver can take it out as soon as he gets close enough and got rid of the Devastator production cycle

[Brotherhood_Knight]

Something about your presentation is very relaxing and keeps my attention well. I have watched every video on this channel and I'm not even a big star wars fan. Now I'm about watch this 7 hour video about a game I've never played. Keep up the good work guys.

It's a good thing this is not a long analysis

[brucelsprout]

This reminds me, I still have about 10 hours left on your phantom menace video. Gotta make time for that

[ZrrMe]

My Redeemer is such a good little gun I feed him all the Berserkers he wants.

[jeffreypethtel]

This is a phenomenal video, Thank you so much for this love letter.

A couple things I'd figure I'd update you on for some of your favorite things.
There does exist a light Servo assisted armor, the Legionairre, in the superstore, although like you said, that's on a rotation. One of my favorite looking armors too.

For the Support, LAS-98 Laser Cannon, it actually has light vehicle penetration just like the AMR and Autocannon! It didn't use to, but it does now, and because of that can burn Gunships and Hulks and Factory Striders now.

from one war to another!

blud missed the devs forcing the mines unto us
