our way of life oh [Music] hello but Freedom doesn't come free no sweet liberty no my father bless his soul is a small business owner and he has this saying that always confused me growing up which was if you're not careful you can grow yourself out of business can you cook grenades can you cook grenades what are you cing that there is no way you we're extracting right now that made no sense to me as a kid I thought more customers was the whole point how is that a bad thing but it makes sense if you think about it and Hell divers 2 is currently putting on the grandest display of this concept me let me now before I commit classic YouTube hyperbole I should be clear I don't think they'll go out of business but hell divers 2 is currently unplayable at the time of recording this click on the screen occasionally yeah I'll click on the screen man we're desperate which I can deal with annoying as it is but this is the internet so some people are refunding the game and never touching it again and most importantly their Discord server has imploded and this time it features all new rendering lighting so what happened well and you probably already know this hell divers 2 had these absolutely genius trailers spread managed democracy throughout the Galaxy become a hero become a legend become a hell diver they are amazing I know their parodies of Cold War propaganda jingoism chauvinism objectively bad things but I kind of love them unironically dying on a foreign Planet killing Godless aliens is the American dream righteous pro-human pro- democracy pro- Freedom rock and roll anyways the trailers went viral and so a lot of people wanted to get this game who are brand new to Hell divers myself included all in all about 2 million people have been trying to get on for the past few nights and according to some internet sources so probably not true at all but apparently they only had enough server space for 800,000 concurrent players some say 300,000 which are both reasonable server sizes until you make some of the best trailers ever made and 2 million red-blooded Americans want to spread managed democracy together guys I was doing some research last night I you know after we played hell loose I looked up World War II and it was real so this brings us to the best part of the story and the whole reason I'm going on this long rant it's such a shame that it's so impossible to get on cuz this is really good thanks rubbing it in I'm sorryy on either the first or second night after the servers had filled up apparently someone had the incredible idea to put an F in the official hell divers 2 Discord General chat so some people recognized the meme and wanted to join in only problem the hell divers 2 Discord had 30,000 members at the time time look at all that democracy down there so rather quickly General chat became F chat but that's not a huge deal one channel that's nothing and regular members can't ping everyone in big servers like that so it's not like the whole server can get on and spam F at the same time this is without question the worst thing to do in this situation the entire server was suddenly very respectful enough respects were being paid to fill the Pacific Ocean I don't think it's working it's definitely not working and after attempting to ban 10,000 people which the server members knew would not be possible eventually the mods had to shut down the entire [Music] server I think I find this story so amusing because we have our own Discord server of a similar size stop this is not an ad to join the Discord I don't know why YouTubers have Discord servers it's very weird so I can easily picture our mods being put in their mods Place arguably I've put them in their place many times before there's a lot of dead civilians over here Mike like a concerning amount it might have been all of them but I can accept that when I say at everyone balls the server is going to be unusable for a little bit and that's fine you got to let them have their fun they outnumber you 10,000 to one depending on how many mods you have and they'll get bored eventually oh I thre a grenade okay I don't know but I think the reason I'm not more angry about the whole server capacity situation is the fact that it makes the game feel even more Community focused than it already is it was really frustrating at the start when I was in your position an hour ago but now I'm having a lot of fun the idea that makes hell divers so much fun is galactic contention but with real people wait is that 113,000 people currently playing yeah yeah all those planets if you click in click on that sector what you can see they got we got to defend this planet here that's under attack there's 112,000 people doing this right now on this one planet yeah that is insane say I woke up on Monday and within 2 hours of being awake and making breakfast I had already seen eight memes about Malon Creek which was where the heaviest fighting was taking place and the fact that I can say that sentence and it makes sense is such a cool concept for a video game you I'll should back up oh my God we're about to erase this place off the map oh my God how many did we call it by the time you watch this there's a new planet or a new system where democracy is being spread so on top on top of that seeing all of the memes of everyone waiting an hour to get on kind of adds to the community aspect too it all feels very genuine sad are you stuck sad yeah I'm a little stuck oh no how did that get Mike he was 3 feet in front of me but obviously the gaml too is just very crispy from the perspective of someone who has never heard of Hell divers before and doesn't like third person shooters this game is great to be able to feel in control and tactical and Nimble in third person is really hard for me I'm just waiting for him to press alt and dive on top of the there it goes I mean it says a lot that even with the absolute diaper hurricane that is This Server situation the game is still receiving pretty much endless praise look at this is this is awesome stra out Star Wars defend democracy this is beautiful this is beautiful wow can't wait to eliberate it it does everything else right down to the tiniest details like bootprints walking through foliage map destruction it looks like the surface of the Moon up here have you seen this called in Hell on this place it's gone it's just all gone I didn't know third person games could look this detailed plus you can technically go into first person too I don't know why I'm so hung up on the camera perspective but as someone who routinely plays video games where the screen is your eyeballs it's a big jump Founding Father of the Stars hell divers is just irresistibly unapologetically campy and epic it's hell yeah distilled into its finest Essence they can't hide in the trees if there's no trees anyways that's all I did this week was Play Hell divers and wait to play hell divers I am not dead just because YouTube's robot abandons me doesn't mean there isn't a new video on here every Saturday at the same time why do bots get to run our lives what what was that did we even do one objective I'm so done with these robots if this game has taught me anything it's to spill oil this game is unlocking an anti-root switch in my brain that I really like leaning into an Abomination constructed by Abominations with abominable intent anyways whoever you are out there I hope you got something out of this and I hope something good happens to you today like this video if you want to but love yourself no matter how many nukes you drop on your friends and should you decide to honor me with the privilege of your time again then I will see you ah dang it in the atomic mirb brain section I forgot again it's ninja VR Central Sr is now free new job all B financial decision smooth brains. party enter towin habby PC I don't I don't understand this at all is that a website stop it get some help goodbye there
