I played for a few hours yesterday with some friends and I can confidently say it’s the most fun I’ve had with a new game in a LONG time. The game has such a clear vision on what it wants to be and it does it all right. I really admire how they wear their inspirations on their sleeve too. Sooooo good. Let’s go Helljumpers, err. I mean, Helldivers.😉
Gotta say, one of the funniest things I discovered was that the drop pod can kill stuff when it lands. So if you die, you can aim it at something to kill it
can drop pods destroy small buildings? i was in a mission and a Secondary Objective wanted me to destroy a small cluster of buildings, but there was no way…?
@@WeeWeeJumbo Yes they can, most of the ones I've landed on anyway. The facility you have to destroy is a similar small container like structure, you can use orbital explosives or stand close to it and you'll get special Hellbomb stratagem to call in. Make sure to stand back
12:08 thats exactly what I was thinking yesterday when I was playing duo with one of my old friends. We were both spraying our machineguns towards a horde and it reminded me so much of us playing the 2 player arcade shooters at dave and busters years ago
15:55 lol...... "your sacrifice will be honored and will not go unheard. He was a good soldier who did what had to be done for the sake of humanity. May he rest in peace." 🫡
History lesson: This is from the Starship Troopers Universe. The book was written prior to the Halo CE release. The ODST was based on the Mobile Infantry Hell Divers. Would you like to learn more?
Dude that’s so real, the trailers had the same vibe as well. If us army ads were anything like this instead of the weird inclusivity stuff they been doing nowadays, I think a lot more people would joined the armed forces
@@anubis1800 they did, the third game flopped and it was left at that, and the 2nd game (the best one) is unplayable on steam cus capcom wont fix their game.
I’m here listening to Aztecross play this game while driving, and all I could think is “I thought this was about aliens, Why the heck did the developers add so many damn Dolphins?”
4:20 MANS DIED TO THE EXTRACTION SHIP LANDING BROTHER WHEN I TELL YOU I CANNOT BREATH RN LMAOOOO / 17:58 is devious acts also 12:37-12:40 Star Wars theme with the machine gun sound effects lmao, the Devs think they're slick
Cross having ammo the whole time while screaming “I have no ammo was amazing to me” I love that this game doesn’t hold your hand and makes you manually reload 🤣
When you said "I wish there was a thing that would automatically reload weapons" I realized how awesome you are man. You've played every game that I have for the last 5 years, and you do it with such passion. Give it time, you'll get an autoloading holster g roll.
I don't think I've laughed during a video lately as much as I did with this one 😂😂 I played helldivers when it came out and love that game still to today. Seeing a well-known Contin creator play the sequel is awesome
You're leaving a lot on the table by immediately extracting after the mission is done. Complete all the side objectives and outposts. Gives you more requisition points and stuff. Look for flashing gold lights in the distance because you can get extra medals, requisition points and stuff. Some abandoned bunkers and things will have extra ammo, grenades and stims. Also collect samples which can be used to upgrade your ship which will be in handy later. Samples drop when you die though so you'll need to retrieve them when you or teammates die
This is probably gonna sound dumb but the way there is community challenges and the way the game plays it really feels like I’m in an intergalactic war against aliens
The original Helldivers game was glorious, and this game perfectly captures the feel of the original, but adds so much more difficulty by being 3rd person. I can't wait for them to add the additional enemy races in the future.
YOu got squashed from the ship landing. Also use the backwards dive jump to land on your back and shoot over your feet more. I think the not having a jump is really throwing people for a loop, until of course level 8 when you can get a "jump pack." The lying down and being able to fire from sides, back and front is so underutilized. it's great for positioning with fireteams. when you are in front and teammates are behind so they don't send ordinance through your torso, limbs, or melon! the friendly fire in this game is a REAL TREAT!!! lol. Also another little detail, if you are running in snow you will run faster if you follow behind a team mate because they essentially are carving the path for you. little details like this, show me how much the devs car. I truly think this is going to be such a sleeper hit!
I really wish they included friendly fire in certain missions in Destiny now. The positioning you need to be mindful of is a mini game in itself and I completely see why a top down version did soooo well for a decade. This takes that concept even further but doesn't make it too chaotic. Everyone is slow and the jetpack is limited so you aren't constantly rolling each other. The best moments for me so far have been having the extra stim armor, tanking grunts just long enough to reinforce or following people around and restocking them, giving them cover fire.
@@nailinthefashion little things like if you are ahead/infront of your squadmates, go prone. lol. tactics and positioning are everything. I'm really interested to see how the devs are going to take the direction of evolving enemy intelligence. Maybe they'll have something decoy bug holes where after they lure you in far enough they actually surface up from under your feet and with them everywhere at all sides it's hard to not mow your teammates down. hmmmm. One things for sure, I think the devs have some really special things coming for this one!!! and I'm here for it!
sound design: *orgasmic* charcter models/animation: *AAA Sony exclusive quality* Democracy: *Furiously abundant* truly one of the best games of the year and its only february this one is gonna be up there for goty im calling it now
Yo I recently was running vog this week and grouped with a Texan and he sounded exactly like Aztecross it was insane I mentioned it to the group and everyone agreed it was funny asf. Had a south Philly guy, a dude from iowa, a guy from Texas living in Montana, 2 dudes in the UK, and me the Floridian
damn that intro had me laughing n wanting to play. then the 3rd person footage dropped. if i wanna look at the back of someones head for hours ill jump on tinder
It gets me every time how even if you run out of lives or struggled 15 min straight trying to get to the extraction, the fucking announcer says at the end “Democracy prevails” lmao 💀
How can you not swim!?
The 340 pounds of armor and equipment on his back:
I love how he asks this but doesn’t ask how the destiny guardian is literally immortal but dies the second they hit water
THANK YOU! I seriously got into a heated argument with 2 of my boys over this
its like an ad seen in starship troopers
This IS Starship Troopers just without the license
It's because it is starship troopers.
@@kineticstarit isn’t named like it so his comment is completely valid
@Orbitalbomb oh no, a blueberry is telling me about a game based on a book that spawned a movie he just saw once.
im doing my part!
But the audio design in this game though...*freaking chefs kiss*
Bro facts!!! The music is so 🔥 and atmospheric
The guns and explosions have thump to them. The audio visual feedback is so satisfying
The aliens sounds sick as hell
YES! I was genuinely amazed at how good the audio and OST is. They absolutely nailed the tone.
it’s got that Sony production value

Seems like it really stayed true to the Original which really makes me very happy looking forward to jumping in.
The most based game
@@DPedrollomade in swedistan
Cross: IM OUT OF AMMO!
Game: tap r to reload. 👀
hahaha he was freaking out
@4:20 "HOW DID I DIE" Fucking spaceship on top of him 😂
Honestly, this is the most fun I've had gaming in years. It's just pure, simple, entertainment.
Years? Sounds like cap
@@OutCastSwagg He’s got a destiny profile pic he’s been through enough 😂
game is flop on Steam
@@twostop6895 idk still has pretty high player count last I checked
@@twostop6895 People were dropping negative rebiewsndue to their lajuch day issues
Does anyone else get strong terminator vibes from the automotons? The red eyes through a foggy environment is creepy and I love it.
It was scary, it was night time near a bunch of tree…. Felt like a movie, a bunch of red bullets. Game look great
Better than Termie for me cuz they have those gross fleshy bits and look more horrific than Arnold being shaved and muscular vs chrome skeletons
@@nailinthefashion yea 😂
Bro the automatons are straight nightmare fuel at night on the higher difficulties
Fighting the Automatons 100 % feels like what the war against Skynet would be like, it's wild compared to fighting the bugs
"Avoid drowning by getting out of the water." Lol
Gotta say, one of the funniest things I discovered was that the drop pod can kill stuff when it lands. So if you die, you can aim it at something to kill it
You can also drop onto bugholes to close them!
can drop pods destroy small buildings?

OHHHHHHHH WOW core memory re-unlocked. Thanks for that "Time Crisis" ba dum tisssssss
Todd Haberkorn (Drifter's voice actor) can be heard at the ship from time to time.
Can't wait until Cross realizes, that there is another faction to fight against. But this time it's not Starship Troopers, it's Terminator. 😁
Everything about this game is just so tonely perfect in every way.
I was grinning ear to ear just from the tutorial. They're crazy devs dude. The voicelines make the Finals look so silly
Where is Neil Patrick Harris and Michael Ironside?? This is Starship Troopers!!!
That would have been awesome.
That would have been such a nice cameo to have NPH in a section of the game. Maybe even the opening recruitment vid. haha
Rico’s roughnecks!!
15:55 lol...... "your sacrifice will be honored and will not go unheard. He was a good soldier who did what had to be done for the sake of humanity. May he rest in peace." 🫡
They made dank Halo ODST, I love it 😂

@@burdsturds Remember, Service Guarantees Citizenship.
You mean PATRIOTIC ODST!
BRO STARSHIP TROOPERS INTRO WAS SO GOOD 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Fr
Why does the Sweet Liberty Face is the director of the game 😂
They need to use the helldivers intro to recruit people to the military because I’m ready to be a helldiver right now
Dude that’s so real, the trailers had the same vibe as well. If us army ads were anything like this instead of the weird inclusivity stuff they been doing nowadays, I think a lot more people would joined the armed forces
Factssssss!
@@roguedy I agree my guy especially the last few moments at the end if they just translated that to army or marines then theyd be golden
If the Helldivers was a Military faction id sign the contract right fucking now
“Another glorious day in the Corps!”
the recruitment at the end of him needing 3 helldivers feel like an actual recruitment ad lol
This must be what it feels like to be a citizen of every player's Stellaris campaign
Ma dude yes, I got some Stellaris vibes from this for some reason.
My empires are a bit more openly authoritarian but pretty much.
This game will spawn Anti-Cross to the highest degree and I am here for it!!
same i can't wait for the death spiral of an eye for an eye lol
I'm so glad the constant preaching of democracy and liberty voice lines are back they were my favorite part of helldivers 1
21:33 that was ALMOST the Contra code. Thought Cross was about to get 30 lives there for a second 😂
This is literally the Best Coop Shooter in a LONG time!!
Remnant 2 would like a word.
Deep rock galatic
@@richardsewell8657 They're both good
@@Sunfireadrg isnt even on the playing field
@@mikejones8808cuz it sweeps it
Watching your character just poke the extraction beacon is hilarious
In Starship Troopers they were called the Mobile Infantry 😁😁😂😂
This is Starship Troopers meets WH40K basically? I'm sold!
Its so much fun, wish I had more people to play with because it gets HARD as you go up difficulties
I've been up till 3:30 two days in a row turning bugs into absolute paste, my dude! This shit is great
Same, I've been pretty irresponsible with sleep and work these past two days, considering I'm a truck driver 😂
Bro go try the automatons. I love the random difficulty spike and getting one shotted lmao (genuinely)
Helldivers: “can I copy your homework?”
Starship Troopers: “ya don’t make it obvious though”
Inspired by
Lost Planet: "as long as you change it up a little"
@@masont.6544 I miss Lost Planet. Why don't they make a newer version?
@@anubis1800 they did, the third game flopped and it was left at that, and the 2nd game (the best one) is unplayable on steam cus capcom wont fix their game.
Palpatine also love democracy, think about that
"FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS"
I’m here listening to Aztecross play this game while driving, and all I could think is “I thought this was about aliens, Why the heck did the developers add so many damn Dolphins?”
Cross getting squished by the transport was sweet sweet poetry 😂😂😂😂
4:20
MANS DIED TO THE EXTRACTION SHIP LANDING
BROTHER WHEN I TELL YOU I CANNOT BREATH RN LMAOOOO / 17:58 is devious acts
also 12:37-12:40 Star Wars theme with the machine gun sound effects lmao, the Devs think they're slick
Cross having ammo the whole time while screaming “I have no ammo was amazing to me” I love that this game doesn’t hold your hand and makes you manually reload 🤣
It's weird knowing General Brasch in this game is the Drifter, the voice sounds almost the same
That intro is top tier, I am going to play the game now.
Made me want to throw all aside and go join up.
Game: look out, you cant swim and are going to drown
Cross: drowns
Cross: WHAT!?!
I honest to God hope we get a Starship Troopers collab someday.
When you said "I wish there was a thing that would automatically reload weapons" I realized how awesome you are man. You've played every game that I have for the last 5 years, and you do it with such passion. Give it time, you'll get an autoloading holster g roll.
Serious Starship Trooper vibes. I was waiting for it to say, "Would you like to know more?"
Bro didn't even hesitate to kill his teammates as soon as he found out he could tk.
spaceship land on him " how did I die" 😭😭😭
Standing under the lander: BUT HOW???
14:24 goes through the trouble of bleeping out all the “shits” but leaves that one in
Evil anti-cross is one of the best personas I’ve ever come across
Super earth citizen "Steve" submitting application for semi permanent (only death will stop me) role as helldiver :D
That orbital strike was insane
17:14 😅😅😅😅😅
I don't think I've laughed during a video lately as much as I did with this one 😂😂
I played helldivers when it came out and love that game still to today. Seeing a well-known Contin creator play the sequel is awesome
The ship landing on you was the total experience. I remember doing that in the first one on my first mission.
This is just an all around solid game
Once they fix matchmaking I'm gonna twerk ssssooooooo hardddddddd dude
I was NOT expecting that level of hype
Best trailer I’ve seen in a while
They did an amazing job on the intro for this game Holy shit I got hyped and I'm not even playing it
Fr this made me buy the damn game lmao

This is my Game of The Year, nothing this year will have my attention, fun, excitement and hype more than this masterpiece
Bruh Cross really turning into a dolphin 😂😂😂😂
I see Cross video I click. Doesn't matter what game it is. Dudes just too entertaining!
Bro took friendly fire a little too seriously 😂
Fun fact: there is an easter egg that references starship troopers directly. Its a planet called "KLEN DATH II"
The one is great but Helldivers 1 was phenomenal. One of the best indie games ever.
Starship troopers, the game
Watching CROSS doing the hackig puzzle Is thé funiest think i saw this week😂
Glad to see Aztecross enjoying this game. It's fun to see him make the same mistakes I made when first starting off.

I got the game yesterday and have been having a blast!

Had a south Philly guy, a dude from iowa, a guy from Texas living in Montana, 2 dudes in the UK, and me the Floridian
Really has the vibe of Warhammer 40k, Star Wars, Startrooper, and other sci-fi games combined together 😳
We need a Anticross comp. I loss my mind everytime because its too damn funny 😂
This is literally starship troopers and it was my favourite movie growing up 😍
Im really glad Cross is still practicing his dolphin speech.
"Would you like to know more?" Starship troopers 😂
Pause at 18:03 - Cross’s face 😂 I couldn’t stop laughing. Brah, your best video in months.😂😂
Ya gotta love those Kent Mansleys who dont check their airstrikes lol
That opening cutscene taught me that I’m truly not immune to propaganda
I can watch this man play anything. 😂
Count me in for the squad Cross! Ill be happy to die with you for DEMOCRACY!!! 😂
I am so in love with this game, I would be honored to join your Squad Commander Cross.
dude was panicking for the last 1 min just to get smacked by the ship XD
Marathon gonna have so much competition by the time it get released
I hope they take notes. There's a lot of gun play elements that would be so fun in other games
Got to level 10 and it's been a blast. Great fun and after the first few hours no issues with quick play and grouping.
damn that intro had me laughing n wanting to play. then the 3rd person footage dropped.
