one of the best parts of this game is that you literally get to experience exactly what any of these highlight videos show. Even for average skill gamers you'll have many occasions where you're thinking after a mission "man, I wish I had that recorded"
100% agree with this. It is this very thought that motivated me to start recording my gameplay. It doesn’t matter what mission or what planet I’m on, when I dive I know that I’m gonna have an epic time
@ I feel the same way tbh! The games that had me HOOKED growing up was World of Warcraft and Halo 3. I’m probably forgetting some others, but those are the 2 that always pop up in my mind when I look back
This is why i love the PS5 which constantly records footage you can save at any moment. I usually play and when i just had a nice moment i just "save the last 5-15 mins" as a video.
Every mission is full of what I call "Micheal Bay movie moments" and it is AWESOME!! You can play so many different ways and you are ALWAYS the main character! 100% GAME OF THE YEAR
Surrounded by absolute destruction and piles of enemies while watching a never end of drop ships fly in and continue the assault without a spare minute to breathe, just incredible!

a game like this comes along once every 10 years , MAYBE. I love this game. I never knew the name, as soon as Helldivers 2 hit, I saw one in game video and that was it. 600 hours in and still loving every moment.
I remember downloading based on hype alone the 2nd or 3rd week. The training was your standard training mission, but one my first mission, watching other Helldivers use strategems and completely annihilate bug nests and and swarms while I'm just plinking away with my machine gun, and seeing those massive explosions just had me in awe.
the entire game is a cinematic michael bay film on steroids, the stratagems make you feel like a divine powerful being and then you realize with 3 hits how quickly you can get absolutely smoked, team work is absolutely necessary you don't even need to speak on mic, the game is amazing and I absolutely adore it.
Bought rhe game for a couple friends so far. I am happy they are also enjoying it as much as I have been. 800+ hours now and still need to spread more democracy!
Hell yeah! That’s what I love to hear! Any friend that I introduce this game to has had nothing but an absolute blast! I’m glad that yours are enjoying as well. The best thing about this is that years from now, we won’t even be playing the same game. The devs will have given us so many updates and content releases that the game will just be godlike tier of chaotic fun
Absolutely love the quiet stillness at the start of these mission types, because anyone who's done them knows that it wont be long before it devolves into utter chaos. Thats not to say other mission types dont, but stationary defense type missions are always almost constantly this chaotic and if they arent, then its time to try a higher difficulty tier
Every mission will have one or two clippable moments. It's wild how Helldivers 2 turns some of the most cinematic moments in gaming almost mundane due to how common they become.
I bought a copy for mt bro. He's of the Counter-Strike era where everything is available out of the gate so I had to take a break at level 130 to level his game up.
@@Criticalhitventures I can help with that since I record stuff in HDR. First off, you do have an HDR monitor, right? Also, let me know if you need to get in touch outside of TH-cam (maybe Reddit) to make discussing this easier.
Rumor has it, he's still getting knocked around 😅 I find the directional shield a bit of a liability with bots. They shoot so many rockets, which break the shield by knocking you down.
I just like to remind you all that the developers made this on Stingray. One of the most casually cinematic games in the last decade -> a freaking stingray
@@Criticalhitventures So you manage to play this beauty in 4k with those specs at a consistent framerate? Not just pure curiosity, i am planning on upgrading my sistem and I am just gathering information, thank yhou for answering!
Is it worth it without coop? I no longer have PSN acct after last rise in price. So, curious if any good solo. My thought is it would be impossible alone.
Okay, I would, but I'm way too busy for another "play every day or else" game. Also that price is still too much for my country and I'm planing to get Space Marine 2 instead of this one day anyways. Helldivers is a great franchise, I'm not doubting that at all or speaking against it, but I need to fix my normal life first. I hope everyone understands that, at least. 7:45 "I need supplies", but proceeds to completely ignore that glowing box of supplies on the ground right in front of him
@@PrussianPushma Daily rewards or tasks/missions/challenges for playing everyday. I already learned that I can't keep up with this, after my very questionable experience with War Thunder.
Understandable. Nietzsche says that in communism/capitalism, there are two classes. Masters and slaves. One can prosper as either, but first step is to identify goals. A man's purpose in life is to protect and provide for women. Good luck 👍
Eh, this isn't really that kind of game. You can play a single mission for one session and log off for two weeks and come back and get rewards for major orders you weren't even logged in for. For me the best reward in the game is just getting to play it more, it feels great to play and offers a good deal of challenge with opportunities to do some really cinematic looking shit and feel like a badass. I play it a few times a week and I don't ever feel like I'm missing out on anything. You get "personal orders" which are almost like daily quests but you get the same reward as completing about 2 missions at a higher difficulty, so you're never "missing out" on anything, it's all stuff you can just get by playing normally. They very rarely might drop some event armor or something like with the Game Awards, but they are usually very good about making sure people who don't have the time to play every day still get a chance when there's limited stuff released.
theres a reason helldivers has more players than space marine. hell divers is cheaper as well. I have both and hell divers was way more replay value as well. and its definetly not a play everyday game. there are community objective that everyone takes part in but even if you dont take part in it, when you eventually hop on a couple days later you will still get all the rewards for the objective
I really hope so too. I think we’ll see an internet surge of Helldivers becoming available to Xbox if that happens. And when the Xbox players join, there’ll be so many cool updates like we’ve never seen before
Okay, 1200 hours here. Since this video is really saying it, then i gotta comment. 1. It's 40 dollars 2. It's buggy as hell 3. Bugs range from mild annoyance to the game being unplayable. Also this doesn't happen that bad to everyone, but for some, it's game-breaking. So if this game is a car, it's a car that's much hyped up and fun, but breaks down randomly. And with its doomed game engine, it will stay that way forever. Edit: also, the fact that this video shows automaton gameplay, is likely because they're gonna keep DC-ing if they tried to play on illuminate with how the server is per today 19th december 😂
I quit playing after around 3 weeks in. They'd constantly mess with weapon balances, and un-funning everything as players would find builds that work. Game is meh
After seeing this terrible, terrible skill level of gameplay, you have inspired me to sign up and fight with General Brasch to give liberty and manage democracy.
After watching all that how could anyone say his skill level is terrible? That was fantastic! I don’t understand.. you gotta be either hating or trolling
I had so much fun in this game when i can easily find players when this game was released . The lobby was full all the time. Now 90% players left this game because psn requirement was needed and this game is not available in every region

WHY ARE YOU READING THE COMMENTS??? GET ON THE FRONTLINES THE SQUIDS ARE HERE SOLDIER!!!
thank you
No pc yet bro but im working on it
For now im just trying to learn as much as i can about the enemies
On my 1 minute allocated toilet break
wish I could helldiver, I’m only gonna be able to join the fight after Christmas Day 🫡
Working on it too. Apparently, my laptop I use for music production has a weak GPU. 🤦
Feels like I'm watching Terminator 7 and Skynet become fully self-aware unleashing all-out-war.
Surrounded by absolute destruction and piles of enemies while watching a never end of drop ships fly in and continue the assault without a spare minute to breathe, just incredible!
Hoplite build-
(Any) Armor with Peak Physique
Directional (Or Ballistic) shield
Shock spear secondary
Any primary (Crossbow is thematically appropriate.)
Impact grenade
"This is Democracy" emote
That's it.
That's the build. No damage strats, no turrets, no booster.
Works best in a full group where everyone stays together, and runs the build.
You CAN pop shields. Stab them repeatedly.
You CAN kill Illuminate heavies. (Crossbow has medium armor pen)
You CAN spread FREEDOM.
Enemies of Democracy: "This is BLASPHEMY, this is MADNESS!"
Helldiver: "Madness?"

Hell yeah! I’ll keep this build in my mind so I can utilize it and hopefully bring glory to the battlefield

I’m gonna try this…OIL FOR KHORNE’S TRUCK!

YES!!! more full length gameplay!!!
11:30 that stand your ground moment is so fucking epic.
"If we have to give these bastards our lives.... WE GIVE THEM HELL BEFORE WE DO!"
It's hard to say you own a game forever if it's online only, but I still LOVE this game. First multiplayer I've LOVED in YEARS!
The sound in this game just never ceases to fckn impress me 🔥
Every mission will have one or two clippable moments. It's wild how Helldivers 2 turns some of the most cinematic moments in gaming almost mundane due to how common they become.

This game is the best smut I've ever played
Just 11 more days, and I'm back in the fight...
BTW, you were saved so many times by the ragdolls lol
Best shooter I've played in YEARS and it brought some new things to the genre that makes it already "all-time" for me.
Halo, SOCOM, Gears, Battlefield, COD, Counterstrike, PUBG, Helldivers... It's in the pantheon.
It started to lag near the end there was so much chaos lmao 16:11
I'm probably gonna need way better Pc equipment for this game.
The directional shield doesn't block rockets?

Does the story pre-date the SPARTAN II’s and the Covenant?
from 12:52 to 14:13 its like Leonidas 300 movie in the narrow mountain strait of the thermopiles
A fellow Legion Diver
The only reason you're not sure of Helldivers is because you're a Cyborg.
how do you have a lazer on your machine gun?
The hud is turned off ?
I would love to play this game, unfortunately I can't afford a PS5🙃
Soo.. you're telling me this game has Spartans?
How does he have an endless supply of stratagems?
Sweet loadout
Yesterday I got home from work - ready to buy helldivers 2 on steam, but the sale had already expired. I thought the sale was over today 😢
It should be off now for the winter sale. It’s 20% off I think
Magnificent
More more more please the best
Is it worth it without coop? I no longer have PSN acct after last rise in price. So, curious if any good solo. My thought is it would be impossible alone.
Get it on PC
Honestly, maybe not worth it without coop. The game is a 4player PvE, it’s built around that.
Psn+ is requiered to play the game itself as far as i'm aware the last time i see it on someone ps5, ps surely wants to push that to pc gamers' face
Who the hell is unsure about this game
Asian players 😂
Жаль из-за действий Sony игру все еще нельзя купить в 180+ странах(((

is this ps5 or pc gameplay?
I want a batman suit
Wha LMG is that
game only leaks water physics and weapon customization, rest is awesome.
what was your loadout? great watch
I can't even play it I get dcd every 5 minutes.. I can play any other online game just fine but haven't been able to play helldivers for weeks
I have an Xbox and definitely not the budget for a PC
Looks so good and all, but idk if is worth paying the game + the online service 😢
Accepting Newb Recruits ?
That fps drop is real
This video helped me decide not to play helldivers 2
I want it... But I ain't buying a PS5 for it and my PC is getting dated. Hopefully they can strike a deal and get the Xbox crowd in on the action
