OK this is kind of funny. Arrowhead up there accepting a well deserved award and at the same time dropped the illuminate on us! Player base just jumped up to 150,000 players in less than an hour!
Man, the comeback they made. They went from the most played game of the year during easter to then nearly ruined by Sony, then took massive backlash from it's community for the gameplay changes and then somehow won them all back and became hype right at the end of the year. The devs really have worked over time to do this. They truly deserve it.
Ruined by Sony?, literally Sony made the game possible, without Sony this IP would not exist, much of the credit goes to them and it is obvious that the PSN issue is as normal as logging into Microsoft account playing Sea of Thieves in PS5, where surprisingly no one had any complaints.
It was the fact that it wasn’t required at launch, then was changed months afterwards, so even if u had bought the game without thinking u had to, it didn’t matter.
@@TheArsenalgunner28 That's true, but at least they offered refunds, I think the real problem would be if I was banned in multiple countries and they still didn't refund anything.
Imagine if any other company besides activision was asking for 267 gigabytes for their call of duty 😂. At least helldivers doesn’t make you give up 99 percent of your storage drive.
As a fellow D2 player, I agree. Look I know that the devs are trying their best atm, but with the layoffs and CEO problem it was bound for them to not win the award.
The best part about this award is that nobody was watching... we were all saving Super Earth from the Illuminate WHO DROPPED DURING THE GAME AWARDS!!! Arrowhead, you madman, you...
Absolutely blessed 24 hours. Aston Martin Valhalla now available in configurator, the Illuminate, The Witcher 4 announcement, and Snoop Dogg giving an award to Arrowhead.
@@iitreeckokingii_4442oh brother it has not been the biggest game for all of those 7 years. Games like among us, lethal company, helldivers 2, content warning, black ops 6, marvel rivals and so many more have defeated it during their respective times. Just because it’s relevant doesn’t mean it’s the best. COD has always been relevant for 20+ years but as we all know, each game has fallen very far away from being the best at the time(except black ops 6).
@@elmizzox how about league? That game is still technically alive but it’s being held together by a rusty nail and a 4x4 wood piece. That game is technically still alive but not exactly relevant in most of the gaming industry. Fortnite will most likely end up like that. Barely alive but not relevant.
I’m a super fan since Helldivers 1. Played the game from day one every single day for nine years, until Helldivers 2 came out. Now I play the second one every single day. It is my therapy. My ritual. Best devs ever. Well deserved. Bravo!
Arrowhead dropped the Illuminate before the award so most of the Helldivers watching, myself included, immediately ditched the awards, contacted their friends, squads, discord communities and began diving in mass on Calypso, the planet the Squids attacked. One hour post release 120k Helldivers were over Calypso, 1 billion kia had occurred, but 101 billion enemy kills had been recorded. Freedom Alliance Discord was lighting up issuing an emergency order to coincide with Super Earths. Everyone was losing their minds waiting for the download to finish. After every drop we’d get members in the chat to disseminate any and all combat info.
No their not lol every single person who was reacting to the game awards was saying Fortnite should have won it just logical for how many updates they added
I'm not saying it wasn't deserved, but it does surprise me that a game released less than a year ago wins best ongoing game and not a game that's been out for far, far longer
It’s that it’s done SO much in short time that allowed them to win this award. If you’ve followed the game you’d know they’ve had MAD set backs. Fixed everything (mostly), added new weapons, armors, skins and enemies. THEN after receiving this dropped the dopest expansion that was immediately available. Can’t hate 🤷♂️
I was told they didn't win best multiplayer. They won ongoing game though. I mean...hell yeah! And they stole the show. Literally. 160k divers in a single night.
Another victory for the right side of history.
Lady Liberty's cries for help haunt me in my dreams....
Victory was never in doubt.
Today they carved another foothold in the long climb to liberty

They were probably keeping the illuminate update in their back pocket until they got an award. Lol
Don't worry many of the players gonna leave in 3 days 😅

I’m glad Helldivers 2 is getting it’s praise as it deserves but it didn’t win best community support
But the game that won it last year did lol
Helldivers 2 won the Best multiplayer game of the year award as well! FOR SUPER EARTH!!!
I know
True.
Love Helldivers, but Baldurs Gate 3 rightfully deserved winning best community support.
bruh they pissed off their community with every other update lmfao of course theyre not winning best community support
Guys the illuminates came back💀 Time to dive fellas, for Democracy!
They sure did, they just I got back from the field myself. I am running on fumes LOL
Ima do it RIGHT when I get home from school
I’m a Destiny 2 player what the hell was destiny 2 doing in that list
Agree bungie destroyed destiny 2 by themselfs, first removing 50% of the story and making worse shit in evry new update
As a fellow destiny 2 player I’m wondering the same thing 😅😂
As a fellow D2 player, I agree. Look I know that the devs are trying their best atm, but with the layoffs and CEO problem it was bound for them to not win the award.

They legit dropped the Illuminate trailer ending with "out now". They planned this to sabotage the live stream 😂
It was their insurance policy to win this award. Putting their finger on the scale at the last minuet. 🤣

And the Best multiplayer game of the year award as well! FOR SUPER EARTH!!!

Already 500hrs into the game and still loving it
Im at 600hr and not lvl 150 yet
Over 800 hours!
Bro nearly misspoke and wanted to say experiment. quick recovery buddy
Experiment and experience
I wonder if that was on purpose?
I feel bad for everyone that stopped playing. Honestly its still amazing!
theres over a hundred thousand divers on right now
I stopped a while ago and I have absolutely no regrets
Should have been GOTY too.
Hell NO. It's a good game but repetitive asf.
