Make sure you give this video a like if you love Freedom and Democracy!
What if....and hear me out....what if I love Democracy and Freedom!?!
I liked and put it in my Watch Later Saves NOW THAT'S LIBERTY FOR YA 🎊🎉🎊🎉🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
You know its going to be a going to be an awesome day when you see a WiseFish video post notification. Thank you @WiseFish!!!
You should do news reports about the current state in the war effort! For FREEDOM!
dude what lore its like three paragraphs and some tweets i can learn all the lore in less time then this video trying to milk a fraction of a penny per view. Hell divers one had more lore. This is just a cheap cash grab off a already established ip.
Fallout lore: war never changes 🙁
Helldivers lore: war never changes 😁
😂😭
Bruh I actually laughed well done sir
lmao,they got that kriegsman mindset
Metal Gear 4: War has changed.
Metal gear solid: War has Changed
“Fully trained” I got the equivalent of a a slide show and recorded lecture
The Helldivers of the first game weren't the same as the second game. Helldivers 2 is 100 years after Helldivers 1, so no original Helldivers are still alive. Super Earth kept the name for morale purposes but uses new Helldiver troopers as fodder.
This comment here democracy officer
Reported and noted.
@@NorthernNorthdude91749 its a strange mix though, when you consider the little scientists that gawp at us like we’re space marines, as we mow down hundreds of alien bugs and robots. Its like - ye we’re the bad guys and we’re treated as fodder, but we’re also no joke
@@TheGlobuleReturns We're not the bad guys though. Super Earth is the faction working to preserve the survival and power of Humanity. As a Human, Super Earth is automatically the good guys to you.
One thing I like about this game is that we actually witness the lore of the galactic war in real-time. Malevelon creek may become an infamous battle referenced in future games
May? I garuntee it will
My more experienced friend and I took our two noob friends into a Lvl 7 Malevelon Creek operation because they wanted to experience “space Vietnam”. They got their money’s worth because the first thing that dropped was a tank.
Malevelon Creek will never be forgotten...
I lost my brother at malevelon Creek while I was fighting the bugs"trying to level up"
What does it mean when a ship explodes? Is that somebody leaving the game? or mission failure?
Dropping 500kg of FREEDOM !!!!
I'd ask you what you had for breakfast....I bet it was heavy?
This is a true freedom loving response right here!!
It's a shame that it's not measured in freedom units though
What the Fuck is a Kilo Gram!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Metric units of measurement make far more sense in a military setting 😉
I love everything about this game. Such a breath of fresh air. I feel like this game respects my time. That's a rare thing these days.
Doesn't respect my time when I'm waiting 45 mins+ to get into the servers
@@theiranmilitary1514Womp somp
If we’re talking about helldivers 2, I haven’t had to wait once since the last update. Was able to play all weekend without any wait time.
@@theiranmilitary1514 servers should be workin now
@@theiranmilitary1514you still got q issues? They been gone for me for ages
I'm still amazed at the sheer amount of orbital based democracy that a single Helldiver can dish out. It's beautiful.
You should checkout the Earth Defense Force series. The Air Raider can call in basically a nuke carpet bombing hahaha
@@filipeyukiois this the one with the giant ants I remember playing it from a Redbox machine and it was so fun back then
That’s because of the fact that every man, woman, and child over 7 on super earth is working hard to make democracy that can be rained from the sky
Glorified Spotters!
Considering the fact that the Automatons are trying to reach Cyberstan, it'd be interesting to see the newly freed Cyborgs fighting alongside them after they retake their capital. Also I saw some people say that the Automatons are the "children" of the Cyborgs.
This is true that the Automatons are creations of the Cyborgs. The Helldivers twitter tweeted out binary in 2021, with the messages talking about the automatons when translated
@napalmman8202 really? What did it say?
Cyberstan lol
@@juanpabloarroyave5583
"We, the collective from Cyberstan, unanimously assert our independence from Super Earth. We have the right to defend our home from the brainwashed Helldivers. Our children, the automaton will not suffer as we have under the oppression of
Super Earth!"
@@T-h-a-t_G-u-y Yeah, that is the name of the planet which was once the capital of the Cyborgs in the First Galactic War (Helldivers 1).
Minor note here: The illuminates weren't completely destroyed. In your ship in Helldivers 2, one of the npc's tells of how they were completely pushed out of the galaxy.
they will be back for sure 👌
@@NaldzHobbySide Can't wait! Never played the first one, but from what I heard the seem Protoss/Eldar like. Going against super technological foes seems dope :)
@@ErzbischofAmuraelyou are going to hate the sniper
@@liquidsweg4858 This guy knows what triggers the ptsd
@@liquidsweg4858Oh boy he is going to hate even more the council members who neurologically reverse you.
Small error at 15:00
The average loyalty rating among Helldivers is 97.4%. That doesn't mean that 97.4% are loyal, it means that their loyalty is rated and the average loyalty is over 97%.
It's an important distinction because there are no disloyal Helldivers to washout, like you imply. Given the general statistics of the Helldivers (and their high attrition rate) it's likely loyalty is the only factor really considered since they're not actually an elite fighting force. Just the ones willing to die for Super Earth.
Helldivers are basically living, mobile targeting systems for the Super Destroyers. Their job is less to be elite force, and more to mark locations for Super Destroyer and Eagle-1 to bomb to dust.
@@Mandemon1990yeah, it's pretty dark, I realized that the first time I looked down from my destroyer and saw the Red and Blue hit markers on the ground of the planets. While the ships drop heavy ordnance with Heldivers down there with barely any chance to take cover in seconds.
@@VisceralCarbon but if they go prone they're immune so it's fine
This game is feeling more and more like WW2
Dam bro your autism is showing 😂😂😂
The first game has an entire Encyclopedia for every enemy you fight that gives some insight on the Cyborg and Illuminate societies (and the descriptions are also on the wiki), as well as weapon and stratagem descriptions in the upgrade screen that also provides some lore (such as the m2016 being given to every citizen on their 16th birthday to encourage military service), if you were looking for more facets of the lore to cover.
I think they'll add one in HD2 eventually, there's a group of 4 terminals just behind of the weapons lock that until now have no interaction. I think that in the near future they'll activate it as a encyclopedia/lore hub
@@filipeyukio my thoughts exactly
He already did tho as shown here 8:27
Helldivers: When you realize that you're the villains of the story, but you're too high on managed democracy.
How can I report a comment for treason?
@@brenolk4642 You can't report me for treason if I was never on your side. *Aims full auto grenade launcher.*
I’ve seen in game that it is unknown what the origin of the automatons is. Additionally, one of the crew talk about the Cyborgs and how they were put into labour camps stating that this would be a good place to put the Automatons. I didn’t know about the star symbol of the Cyborgs as I didn’t play helldivers 1, but I’ve seen it on Automaton missions. Automatons have also been known to attempt to engage in talks with humans to inform them of their brainwashing by Super Earth.
I’m convinced the Automatons are creations by the last remaining remnant of the Cyborgs.
They are indeed the creations of the cyborg. In 2021 they revealed so in a tweet
@@sonic-bb I’m going to claim it as my own discovery regardless 😎
yes, they are fighting to save their inslaved forefathers, that only wanted to live in peace away from the fascist "managed democracy", and brainwashed super earth.
They have the same flag, so not exactly a huge leap.
@@kballwoof00 illuminati confirmed?
The use of “the great dictator” is such an ironic quote.
As always, great video! For democracy!!
I get the sense that there may be more than 3 factions in this game. I believe we may see the introduction of at least one new faction to the universe.
The invasion map definetly supports that. Seems like they're leaving space for 4 factions in total
Illuminate returning, and who else?
A lot of people want rouge helldivers/SEAF
If we keep this game alive we gonna make it out of the galaxy and fight even more factions
@@imouto-sana7161 That makes me think of two things I have seen in game: 1, being a propaganda piece talking about rebel opinions being alien ones; 2 being Service technician Eriksson talking about "dissidents" bombing a factory citing "working conditions" with another dialogue being that a group of people not wanting to use the Elective Algorithm.
Now THIS is a SUPER lore video !
Would you like to know more ?
Of course
As an American, this game’s political satire hits close to home 😂
2024 election definitely feeling like “managed democracy”
I mean, not every election is going to be good, I mean, look at the elections of the 1800s. Most of the candidates were terrible and weak until Lincoln, with some exceptions.
@@A_reasonable_individual42 Not going to take part in this election anyways, unless there is a "not going to blatantly participate in a genocide" candidate in the running
Yep, this game is based on Paul’s Verhoeven “Starship troopers” which is a satire on modern American idea of democracy. The movie is based on a book authored by Robert Heinlein though, but it has completely different idea behind it. It’s more like a sermon to a new generation of Americans from an old conservative and McCarthyst how to behave and be a good citizen to your country.
Yessir, I saw this game and it hit me right in the American bone. Terminids: Global South, Illuminate: Iraq, Automatons: Soviets and Vietcong (Maleveon Creek/Space Vietnam), Super Earth: American Hegemony, Helldivers: US Marines/SEAL Teams, Strohmann News: New York Times/CNN/Fox News/BBC/etc., gifting of Assault Rifles at 16 to every Super Earth Citizen is a call to 2nd Amendment at all cost culture, and our current 2024 election where we have Imperialist old af guy Red or Imperialist old af guy Blue who are both beholden to the same Corpotocracy. Yep managed democracy.
@Heeroyui752 cyborg's home planet, Cyberstan is a reference to Afghanistan. Also, interesting note is that there is no mention of "Illuminate super weapon" when you conquer Illuminates during the Galactic War, just like "weapons of mass destruction" Bush was trying to find.
US Army frantically taking notes.
I'm surprised you didn't cover the Helldivers employment contract you can read at the end of basic training just before you get your cape.
It has some... interesting terms.
For example in the event of a Helldiver's death their family will receive a certain grade of citizenship as compensation.
Service grants citizenship!
Do you want to know more?
I am one of many who aided in the subjugation- eh, I mean application of managed democracy, of the initial cyborgs.
Still got the cape from beating a helldive against each faction. Shame they didn’t carry over. lol maybe three new models for capes was too much. Or maybe there’s some more for beating a helldive in 2, haven’t made it there yet.
As much as I enjoyed the isometric top down fun of the original, I’ll miss genuinely accidentally capping all 3 teammates with a single round, but the change to 3rd person was so well executed that it made it feel even better.
Can’t wait to get done like Kat during Reach when the Illuminate returns. So excited for Helldivers future
Thanks for the history lesson before my deployment; I can't wait to dive in and spread democracy while defending Super Earth and our Super Citizens
Spil oil
The soundtrack of Helldivers 2 slaps. Fun Fact it is the same arranger of Star Wars: The Old Republic, Mortal Kombat 11 and Call Of Duty WWII campaign. So if it feels familiar that’s one reason why.
And Destiny 2: Forsaken
Makes sense considering it sounds just like Star Wars and mortal kombat lol
@@sonic-bb meanwhile i swear it takes so much inspiration from the battle theme song in the Starship Troopers movie that came out in the 90s
@@theRemedyGames it’s been a while since I’ve seen that movie lol. It very well could sound just like that
I think the bugs are spreading to different planets from humanity themselves. It gives them a reason to send out helldivers as well as continuing to cultivate and collect resources.
Also the bots are a big mystery... I was listening to their chatter ingame and i SWEAR that I heard one say "the humans are lying", which just raises so many questions.
Before the release of Helldivers 2, there was a twitter thread was binary. It was basically Automatons declaring that Super Earth was lying to people, and that they would be coming to liberate the cyborgs that had been enslaved.
the bugs and automatons will embrace democracy whether they like it or not
Democracy is non-negotiable!
Democracy Hath Been Spreadith
-T2
One thing I hope for are faction wars, where if two sectors (controlled by terminids the other automatons) are budding up to each other then a planet in each sector would have both bugs and robots.
No thank you.
they need to fight one another xD.
@@ArlindoBuriti
Why would they?
The Automatons are either a people who want revenge on Super Earth or were created by people who want revenge against Super Earth.
Meanwhile, the Terminids are a fully sentient species that were treated as literal livestock by Super Earth.
They have no grudge against each other. It’d make more sense for them to team up against their shared oppressors.
@@EastPort10
It would be really interesting if they agreed to ally in exchange for the automatons harvesting old or dying bugs.
(This comment has been deleted under the suspicion of treason)
Just finished the vid, I gotta say; I deeply appreciated the immersive telling of the lore as though it were a historical documentary. Honestly, just the thought of helldiver survival rates plummeting makes me wanna join up all the more!
I crave a brutal fight, and I'll spread democracy through the galaxy if I must!
14:28 Its not actually ur own personal ship, the ship has many cryofroze helldivers in it. Every time you respawn you are actually a whole new helldiver ready to give his blood to oil the gears of democracy! :)
It's your own personal ship, it just wasn't originally and won't be for long.
Love how every time something shows value to super earth they immediatly become enemies to be harvested or robbed 😂
Something something parallel with our world😂😂
Yeah...about that *Stares in American*
It was a pleasure to be a part of this SUPER course - thank you for keeping on the good fight for democracy! :D
I personally think the automatons are still cyborgs but fully Borge’s up, leaving nothing a brain controlling a metal suit. Why would the robots use almost exclusively humanoid soldiers when they could’ve chosen more efficient or easier produced forms? Why would their striders need pilots when they could’ve made a pilotless model? Why are berserkers a thing? I think the cyborgs are still fighting but have gone full Adam smasher in order to properly combat super earth’s forces.
Roman Empire seeing Super Earth doing pure defensive move yet expanding just in case "I raised that boy"
Here's the thing. People can make fun of the whole 'Super Earth' thing.
But every helldiver has command of a Super Destroyer. A Super Destroyer crewed with other humans, bearing tonnes of heavy ordnance, cutting edge weaponry (rail gun, laser cannon, sentry turrets).
Super Earth is probably the only planet with a fleet capable of overseeing every planet in the galaxy.
I dont think the troopers we see in the HD2 intro cinematic are helldivers - no capes. The training level makea a big deal of you earning your cape, i figure its like jump wings/paratrooper boot blousing, and helldivers would have had their capes on, even during a safe patrol.
Happy to see you were able to squeeze a little bit of lore out of it! Like I said on twitter, there isn't much from the first game.
Based on what I've heard, the first game sounds kinda like Halo 1 in the sense that it was very simple but could be a good launch pad for better stories.
I like to take the whole managed democracy thing at face value and all the bad parts of super earth being the AI desperately trying to interpret the Schizophrenic answers on the questionnaires and as the system goes it will just jump further and further of the rails as the population becomes more and more fanatic.
What if the Managed Democracy Super Computer judged humanity and orchastrated the new Galatic War to give them purpose and unity.
@Shugg-Goff-HHoffical maby i also think the robots where built by super earth to keep cyborg fever up and to fuel the military industrial complex and i think the bugs are just an accident due to poor farming regulations and a fundamental misunderstanding on what these animals are.
@@Shugg-Goff-HHoffical Bro... you just exploded my mind right now... i did not even think that there are no leaders... is just a society run by A.I LOL.
@@Shugg-Goff-HHoffical then that meant the cyborg socialists were orchestrated by the ai, making it a traitor to democracy.
And now we form our own lore, and our own universe. The community has truly found a universe to exist in. As someone that looks for that over anything else, that's exciting.
This is just the dark age of techology era 20k being proto pre imperium dictatorship state.
It is, and I'm so here for it.
That'w Warhammer right?
@@adonailr9667 yep
Yeah, Warhammer. The “Warhammer 20k” means 20th Millenium, ie. the years 20,000 - 29,999.
Then Warhammer 30k is the 30th Millenium, etc.
10,000 year spans.
I know this game has been really big lately so it's great to learn more about it from your channel! Well played.
and that third faction has pretty much been confirmed as coming eventually for helldivers 2
God the satire is so heavy handed with this game, I love it
Something i find hilarious is
We fight the Cyborgs because they're "socialists"
And we fight the Terminids because they create oil
Truly, Super Earth is the embodiment of democracy
dont forget the illuminates being more powerful and potentially dangerous than us, so we have to shut them down first
Great video, really enjoyed it and thanks for the mini lore dump.
Gosh the satire is so rich in this game, it actually strikes a balance between the left and right views.
how so? isn't it just making fun of right-wingers?
@@lordilluminati5836 its more a critique of authoritarian regimes in general. The jingoism of right dictatorships, and the propaganda of left dictatorships married under the guise of democracy and freedom.
"propaganda of left dictatorships married under the guise of democracy and freedom"
I'm pretty sure that's associated with certain north american nation more than anything...
@@lordilluminati5836really? It seems They're making the "right wingers" look cool asf, you sound like a cyborg
@@darthphantomius411 fascists think that games that satirize them are about how good they are and are surprised when its about how theyre bad so you may be one
I love that this game is getting the love it deserves I hate that not many people played the first one
You’ve totally earned yourself a new subscriber with this video☺️
Looking forward to your next one!
Answered all my questions, thanks for filling the gaps!
First time for me learning about Helldiver lore from any channel ever. :)
I want to thank you for shedding much needed light on the story for me. I had absolutely no idea what was going on. I haven't played the 1st game. All I know is Helldivers 2 is ridiculously fun. No I can't wait to get back on the frontline. For Democracy!
I too love that helmet I keep seeing your hell diver is always wearing in the beginning of the video
A small headcanon I have how Terminids have spread without FTL ships is that they use some kind of a super spore spewer like the Flood in Halo
That clip from The Great Dictator at the end… chef’s kiss. Awesome video!
After all the cyberpunk lore vids you most definitely are my
Lore Master🔥
Hopefully this game actually stays alive unlike any new game nowadays
Idk lethal conpany and bg3 are alive and well, and elden ring is dong great too, even better in june when the dlc comes out
Wait… are we the baddies?
That sounds dangerously close to sedition, citizen! We are the forces of liberty and democracy, how could we be the bad guys?! Now ignore the skulls and crossbones on the uninforms of our beloved Helldivers and think government-approved thoughts.
Is there any skull on our uniform? Thats what I thought
@@titanime3830 fun fact, we have little skull icons on the soles of our boots, you can see them while prone. It's a neat little easter egg.
Great video! I try not to think about how horrible the human world is in the world of Helldivers now since learning about this! I don't feel as bad about dying in-game anymore!
One could make the case that this is how Warhammer 40k started its spiraling into total sh&t storm after humans left Earth all those thousands of years ago.
bugs are space cows for oil... automatons are basicly socialists... the only L SUPER EARTH DID was the illuminates.
xD prove that the system is riged... if you prove that managed democracy does not lead for a better future for super earth xD i will say they are not just every democracy ever comiting crimes xD that is another take that is really good.
in a way they are a democracy and evil... hope we get more lore.
@@HighOnSciencethe sad thing was humanity was doing really well before they got betrayed by the men of iron. Their tech was so advanced that the Imperium of Man are still struggling to emulate their technology.
3:40 honestly I kinda respect this system conceptually. There’s nothing more idiotic then the average voter. So having the vote be instead “what do you value” “do you think [POLICY] is a priority?” “What is more important to you, x or y?” And then casting your vote for the candidate that most closely resembles what you actually stand for vs “this guy is part of my party so therefore I’m voting to prevent other party from winning.” Is frankly better than what we have now…
The problem is the system is obviously insanely corrupt and flawed and it could never work in real life
Playing this game turns into a movie so naturally
For real. Was playing on a dust planet recently against the Automatons during a dust storm. The lasers flying towards us through the dense dust looked like an even more hectic Geonosis scene from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Was awesome lol.
Oh, damn! From Witcher, CP77, and now Helldivers 2. Hell yeah. I love these lore videos.
If WiseFish makes a video over it, I'll play it
Hands down.
3 wars at the same time 2 started from super earth? Im starting to think super earth is the problem.
I do really hope that helldiver's does a collab with deep rock galactic.
Nothing too weird.
Just a side piece of allowing us to play the dwarves as we are working for the federation.
Tha ks for the video
So I’ve got a theory on the automatons and its that they were made deliberately by the company Strahm (i think thats the one i saw it in game for like 30 seconds) because every time you boot up a robot planet terminal it hits you with that logo, my opinion is that strahm made the automatons as an enemy to fight familiar to the cyborgs but more over the top and then gave the robots the same Logo, I mean if the tyrmanid war only exists for oil the Automaton war may just be a plot to further demonize socialism and create extra profit off of war, its also possible this worked too well and now the automatons are a legitimate threat *This Post has been Flagged For heresy*
Also we’re supposedly getting walkers in the near future and the Jetpacks we use have the same mechanics and are just slightly safer than the ones the automatons use so maybe we were prototyping tech there as well
I love the animating and music gives that new Ratchet&clank vibe. Also it looks like American takeover of the galaxy, and fuck yeah I love it
i love this channel keep it up! :3
ENHANCE! I WANT TO KNOW MORE!
This was awesome! Thank you!
I enjoy my freedom with a refreshing cup of Yorkshire Liber-Tea Gold.
The above Post Has Been Approved By the Ministry of Truth.
Rest in peace to all the warriors the creek has been lost 😢. We must keep the fight going.
“Are we the bad guys?”
No we are democracy
Very awesome! Many thanks for this super fun, super Earth video!
Apparently in HD1 There a message left by the cyborgs that said that all they wanted was freedom for them and their children the automatons & they will defend themselves if they need too.
Your sacrifice will never be forgotten [insert name here], for the greatness of super earth.
I love Democracy lol.
This is going to be Fire can you do The History of Mega City One or The History of The Halo Insurrection War please.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
Id like to second the proposed vid on MegaCity 1 !
Your telling me these giant bugs are just Tyranids with an M? Hell nahhhh
The Fall of Malevelon Creek.
Love this video!!!
Finally, a historian I don't need to report to my democracy officer
This game is amazingly super-silly and a super-hoot. Gotta love super-democracy from Super Earth!
Looking forward to more!
This is gonna be good 🙌
nice lore details 👌
Well done. Subbed
this is starship troopers reimagined and im all for it
i was so in love with the first game, me and my friend played it exclusively for like 5 months straight. the second one is so incredible and is what a sequel should be like/
I wouldnt have thought the lore to be so deep tbh. They should absolutely make a show or movie about this games lore to fill in the starship troopers void
thanks for the video
Someone’s doing their part. I salute you.
Perfect timing!
oh good i got reccomended you again, go cyberpunk vids, go democracy!
I like that from most angles. You play as the bad guys. But not even an important one. You are just a grunt.
Just sipping my liberTEA while watching a banger on the history of DEMOCRACY
Thank you for your service.
Is there a graphic novel for this lore or a book or something that I can read? Or is the best course just to play the first game?
As I stay proned getting bombarded by automaton rockets in Malevelon Creek, a constant question comes to mind.
"Are we the baddies?"
For Managed Democracy!
I was most impress by how the game looked in these clips i got to know the pc specs and the setting this guy set.
i predict they will add even a 4rth faction later on because of how the map is placed so far. looks like north and south are 2 different factions
Or just have 3 and when 2 factions touch you will get 3-way battles
A good bit of this is word for word from the wiki, but your presentation is well done regardless. Paraphrase and analyse your sources more and you'd be a fine youtuber.
