    I'm very conservative, and I love helldivers.
    I don't feel attacked at all - the parody doesn't make fun of soldiers so much as it makes fun of surveillance states, political lies, and a government that cares very little for its soldiers.
    The soldiers themselves are so cool and heroic that people love playing as them!

      Yeah, despite the fact that it’s satire, it still gets you hyped up with the cinematic elements and the music and everything. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      @drooskie9525 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +63

      It's a satire/parody on the american political climate, particularly about the War on Terror. Some might call it "neo-liberalism" but that doesn't really have any coherent definition.
      I think conservatives can understand how much of a shitshow and nonsense it was. HD2 is just a very exaggerated comical take on it.

      @scubasteve2189 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +50

      I honestly feel like the satire is just meant to be a bit of comedy and flavor on top of the rest of the game, which is a more serious combat shooter. Like the over-the-top patriotism is something you’re supposed to see through as a tactic to bring in recruits and keep them motivated, but you’re also supposed to take the war seriously, as if you lose, Super Earth will be overrun and humans won’t survive. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      It makes fun of the military industrial complex and the idea of “making the world safe for democracy” (which absolutely deserves to be made fun of) not individual soldiers.

      True. Also modern western liberals are very pro war. Most of my friends (i'm liberal) support funding ukraine and forced conscription of their dwindling population. 30 years ago liberals did not support the draft by large.

    As a former serviceman, (Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, or Marines for the less stupid), I never feel like the developers are laughing AT me, but WITH me. There's a lot of truth to the notion that the higher ups are screwing you and underinforming you and your brothers, the guys stuck in the mud with you are what matters. I have heard and used the phrase "I hate the Marine Corps, but I love Marines" often because it's true

      The most fun thing about playing Helldivers 2 is fighting *with* the guys next to you. Sure, we're fighting for the cause and the flag and all that jazz, but blowing shit up with friends and surviving wild battles by the skin of your teeth is where the rubber meets the road. Whether we're fighting the bugs or the bots, our only goal is to complete the mission, destroy the enemy, and get everyone on that extraction bird alive.

    Dear Klavin, first let me say that I am older than you. Been gaming for 25 years. I went through the same experience with this game. Once you "Git Gud" the game played with friends becomes a very fun experience. Dont feel alone and give it another shot. Public games are a little less fun because there are some gaming Trolls but over all a very popular experience this game.

    Thanks for giving us this. It's always fun and interesting to see a generation that didn't grow up with video games play them. Watching the expressions, and the inner emotions coming out as you struggle with the fundamentals of controls and what you are experiencing is a treat that takes me back to my youth.
    Also, with practice you can not only enjoy this hobby but actually be good at it. There's a Veteran grandpa older than you on TH-cam playing WarThunder and Battlefield... and he makes some pretty amazing plays. His hands are numb, and still pulls off long range sniper shots and strafing runs with planes.

    the other day I played with a brit an Aussie and a French guy and I, the American of the group felt welcomed and we all worked together to kill the enemies and we worked together as a team i felt like i was apart of this Super United Earth from the game and it was truly a humbling experience.

    Andrew, Candice, and Brett all have been so great this year at providing the levity America needs right now, actually laughing and having fun and being human with the audience. I like the other guys too but Michael and Ben are so uniform in angrily wagging their finger at the masses 24/7 that I sometimes mistake them for the animatronics in a Chuck-e-Cheese.

    what I find interesting is that, according to Arrowhead's CEO, a significant amount of deaths happen during the training, so this is actually rather realistic in-universe

    Personally I love helldivers, the ideology of "Super Earth" is so over the top that I don't think it's meant to necessarily make a statement about anything, I think they just designed it to be the most authoritarian, nationalistic, propagandistic regime they could possibly create, to make the player as a foot soldier get the vibe that they have been tricked into being cannon fodder. It's essentially the 20 minutes worth of the Starship Troopers film that was actually good: humans fighting giant alien bugs and propaganda reels, turned into a simultaneously epic and hilarious video game.

    Starship Troopers is one of the greatest movies of all time, and Verhoeven failed at making it some sort of "meta critique". I'm rooting for the infantry the entire movie and it motivated me to be patriotic.

      Right? I grew up watching it with my dad and it never occurred to either of us that the humans are supposed to be viewed as invaders or antagonists. As a kid, I DID pick up on the fact that the federation is a strict, militaristic and global government, but I thought that came from the urgency of killing bugs. In my mind, the situation was: “The world is threatened by alien bugs, so every resource needs to be focused on fighting them, that’s why the federation exists. It’s also why protesting the war is illegal.” lol

    The contrast is amazing Andrew Klavan in his sixties, who appreciates video games even if he doesn’t like them more than films is less of a boomer than Matt Walsh in his late thirties who disdains video games completely, and acts as if he discovered the social issues in gaming today
