    I had a lot of fun making this video, and I hope you enjoy watching it, if you did go ahead and leave a like!
    Generally I don’t make positive content on this channel because it doesn’t tend to perform very well, so I had intended to make this a “low effort” video, but it wound up turning into a relatively high effort project.
    So if you enjoyed the video at all, be sure to click like (but only if you genuinely liked it) so that we can break this channel’s curse of positivity! Every little bit helps!
    Regardless of how this video performs, Helldivers 2 is my favorite game right now, so I will continue making content for it purely out of my passion for the game!
    Song List:
    0:00 - Extraction theme
    03:00 - the lads are the lads
    04:33 - epic military marching drums
    05:55 - terminid combat theme
    07:00 - now you know
    10:30 - spirit of victory
    11:27 - north korean song of the revolution
    12:40 - sow the seeds of revolution
    13:50 - honor the heroes

      Another custodian huh?
      I'm glad somebody picked it.
      Yeah, my gripes with the update are two points.
      One, they shouldn't have replaced the rocket arm on the hulks with a command post laser turret, because it's worse than getting ragdolled.
      Two, they should have only reduced head damage from 200% to 150%, instead of moving that 50% to body and limbs. Because there's a lot more body and limbs than there is head. And we're way more squishy now.

    The solution for difficulty in a horde game is absolutely not to make enemies harder to kill. It's just to add more of them. It gives you more stimuli and a feeling that you're actually winning over a stronger force of enemies, instead of it just feeling like the enemies have an artificially large amount of health.

      To be completely fair to ArrowHead. Helldivers 2 attracted a completely different audience then the first. HD1 was very difficult. It's a little disingenuous but I'd say the dark souls of top down shooters. We had tons of tools but it was extremely difficult and REQUIRED team work. You could not solo above difficulty 5.
      It's like a band that did Rock and decided to try a pop song. Now they have a huge audience of pop fans when they did primarily rock. It's growing pains, and I think they've decided what they want to commit too.

    @Levyathyn หลายเดือนก่อน +48

    It's not just a difficulty thing, never has been for me. I love difficulty, I LOVE it... I was one of the people pushing for a Level 10, and I can't wait for the Hell of the Illuminate to return.
    The problem is that the moment-to-moment fighting has always needed to be a bit more fun. I understand primary weapons aren't designed to be able to handle everything--and they shouldn't be, that's fine. But they shouldn't be designed ONLY to handle the weakest enemies. Diving back into the game, I can already think of ten, twenty stories or more of things just... feeling better. Even when, say, a Charger killed me yesterday after I couldn't kill it (I just got swamped) it still FELT better because my primary was at least occasionally busting through its face. I saw blood, and even though I died I had the scent of that blood and my efforts to come back and kill that bastards were redoubled.
    What I've always wanted is to not just fall back on my old, familiar routines of picking whatever weapon works best--be it the Slugger, or the Autocannon, or being forced to bring a sniper on someone in case we got flying drones since not much could even damage them---and I just wanted a game where I could, on a whim, pick up an SMG against the bugs, or go to bring throwing knives and not risk blowing a high-difficulty mission, or just to bring and use the Spear, my favorite weapon, without it letting me down like I let my parents down.
    I love the idea of more bugs, or what they've been doing by adding new, difficult stuff like Impalers, or giving extra abilities to the warriors. I WANT the game to be more difficult, but more fun at the same time. I don't want to just mount up with a basic assault rifle you start the game with and lay on the ground with hordes and hordes of enemies not being able to make it to me; I want to mount up with friends, and a versatile bag of strategems and weapons, and blast the shit out of my enemies and walk away from every fight with bloody knuckles, broken bones, and a smile on my red-stained face. I would rather die facing three Chargers because of my bad positioning, or my inability to mitigate a horde of enemies, or a rough time for a reload, than fight one Charger and have the same amount of struggle because I just respawned and can't call in my only effective weapon for another six minutes, so I die because I just can't do anything.

      apparently the devs don't understand this game is a horde shooter by default and horde shooters shouldn't be weapon difficulty it should be how many enemies are coming for my A difficulty.
      it shouldn't be me unable to even kill the basic enemies. it should be there are so many enemies on my screen i cant kill them fast enough.

    Alright this video has convinced me to reinstall HD2. I stopped playing on the patch right before they nerfed the flamethrower simply because it just got too frustrating to play for reasons you mentioned in the video. If I had still been playing and reached the flamethrower Nerf patch, I 100% would’ve quit on the spot because flamethrowers were my go to support weapon on difficulty 8/9 because of how effective it was against chargers, and I hate chargers with a fiery passion, no pun intended

      helldivers 2 as far as i know have the highest record for amount of people lost in 2 months after game release.
      the community has never come back and it wont be back they already ruined it. its only a small percent of people that's play again cause creators make video hyping up their fan base.
      if you look at steam charts its a fing mountain for first 2 months then flatline all the way till now.

    The player count of this game which was sitting at around its lowest point yet before the update at around 16-18k players literally jumped up to 53k players the day this update came, and now is steadily hanging around 40k+ players, they literally doubled the player base with 1 update, but trust once broken will never be the same again, I doubt they could ever reach the golden days of 400k+ players ever again, but this is a great change in the right direction!

    5:58 That's the Alpha Commander, they continuously spawn warrior if you leave them be, unlike the Brood Commander they only spawn either warrior or hiveguard once iirc

      what you mean life the community hasn't come back yet you guys got a trickle of players playing again. people underestimate how many people bought this game and how many left after first 2 months. this game sold 12 million copies and it was shortly after release. if it wasn't for how they shit on the whole community and didn't listen to the people. they could have made it to the top 50 list of all time high selling games.
      helldivers 2 as far as i know have the highest record for amount of people lost in 2 months after game release.
      the community has never come back and it wont be back they already ruined it. its only a small percent of people that's play again cause creators make video hyping up their fan base.
      if you look at steam charts its a fing mountain for first 2 months then flatline all the way till now.

    I stopped playing the morning of May 6th when the update released and I had not picked up the game until the 18th when I heard about the update I have had so much fun again and playing it has reminded me how good games can be when the devs take feedback and learn from mistakes and deliver on stuff that the people that are actually playing their game want, I was so upset when I stopped playing hearing all of the nerfs and debuffs and thought I'd never return but man I am so glad Arrowhead turned it around because this game is just such a gem

    I started playing Helldivers 2 at it's worst. So seeing the game become better made me happy. Not as happy as OG's, but it did
