Why Everyone Is Playing The New Helldivers Game - Helldivers 2

hell divers 2 has taken the Internet by storm the game just exploded in popularity with over 360,000 concurrent players on both PC and PS5 tonight and is still climbing after years of franchises where the game has tried to force you to become the main character the hero replacing our masked Soldiers with ones with wacky personalities don't be sad this is just how it works out sometimes it's refreshing being a nobody in a fourman squad sent in by the cause to take on hordes of disgusting putrid creatures with little actual care for you and your team's lives of course you are expendable you will die thematically I just think these games go hard GTFO dark tide and now held divers all share this feeling of impossible courage against an Unstoppable Force they also benefit from some of the most satisfying gameplay shoot bugs explode bugs carpet bomb bugs A10 gunun the bugs microwaving some fried bugs orbital laser the bugs tactical n bugs sauté bugs stewed bugs uh bugs and potatoes the depth of the gameplay and teamwork mechanics here mixed in with the relatively easy learning curve for new players the quick time between launching the game and grouping up to jump out of your hell pods into a mission all of this combined creates the best paced Co-op game I've played in a long time something I failed to mention in my last video there are two entirely different fronts to this game one being blasting bugs at relatively close range two distant firefights with squads of Terminator robots who want to crush your soul with their own unique strategy even the musical themes in the background of firefights are entirely different cover becomes more important and you'll be asking yourself if you accidentally bought arma3 SOG Prairie Fire Within the first few minutes and on the robot front one of the maps is effectively The embara Arc from Star Wars the Clone Wars running through the jungle dodging Tracer fire and all I can think of while taking so much fire on both sides is man why couldn't Star Wars make this game why could good [Music] halo not that I dislike the hell divers Universe in any way it's fantastic and fits the gameplay perfectly but I would love to play a four-player co-op hord slashing Republic Commando game if I had one in today's episode we're going to be playing some of the harder difficulties in the game not the hardest yet I'm I'm still bad at the game and trying to do my best at that but you can always see what difficulty someone's playing at the top right of their screen by the way and so if that number is higher then you know they're getting into more of the Frank Sinatra My Way Halo Reach objective survive sort of missions I really do think that the game shines here I think that if you play the game on the lower difficulties you get a you get a sense of it but these games go hard whenever you are barely scraping by on missions whenever one guy survives out of the entire mission anywh who in today's episode we be using the laser cannon and the guard dog laser drone to be able to take out a lot of light enemies and use that in a certain kind of utility role of my groups that I play with really like this load out for killing a lot of the smaller lightweight creatures and bugs running around the map while my team focuses on big guys a good advantage to this load out as well is that neither the backpack or your Laser cannon use any ammo as long as you don't overheat your Laser cannon as long as you're shooting a little bit at a time and you're not burning it too much it gives you a lot of audible and visual warnings on your HUD whenever it's about to overload you don't need to reload this thing and it won't consume ammo and one of the planetary effects that is very very useful for this weapon is that on cold planets it runs even longer and doesn't overheat as quickly so you can just burn through the laser on bugs and it's so much fun it's like popping uh little popcorns around the map now just know it's entirely ineffective against armored targets so you're going to want something like the Liberator penetrator for your assault rifle just as a backup so that you can pin some medium armor but it's a really beneficial Loadout to have when in a team because you're stopping yourself from taking that ammo you're allowing your teammates to have it as well as you're taking out the small guys so that your teammates don't have to waste ammo on them and they can focus on the big dudes I like it it's fun oh dude watch out watch out watch watch out this is the pit of death you don't want to go in there I've fallen in there multiple times and died I've got orbital uh it doesn't look that big though no no this I'll just do a regular eagle on it Go support we love that yeah these [ __ ] Walkers are coming in I got one guy oh this isn't the objective I thought this was oh we got Metals in there metal nice huge oh Bo what's cool is you actually have to extract with that stuff

running through the jungle there was it was always shooting things that 80% of the time I just didn't even see and this shit's kind of light if you hold the rail gun in unsafe mode is that when it starts getting like is it like a the more you hold it it's just if go if it goes to 100% you die you so you can go up to like 90% every single time reloading that's basically it I think a 90% plus

going to take 4 minutes okay I'm running we have to hold out for 4 minutes cuz of the increased call down or whatever mhm I've still got 380 on me and 120 probably can you drop uh something here take out the nest there give me a sec I'm about to call the plane and then I'll come back to you honestly it might be better to just keep running around away no no yeah call the plane and then fight off the if we fight off of the uh hlz and then run to the hlz at the end one of us has to be at the hlz to the to not give up okay how long is itri four got three and a half there's a lot of big signatures coming from this southwest yeah I'm going to I'm going to probably should I do my 380 now should I do my 380 now on that yeah the next way wave before they get too close I'm going to do it I'm going to do it on that that's a lot I would spread to the other side of the circle here charger oh there's a charger on me I just died charger dead there's one more on the right side though come

killed it oh my God 10 seconds it's just you two oh my gosh come on just kite just kite just kite just kite this Isel I have visual on the extraction Zone Pelican one wants to land in this go the left go the left go around the okay y I got to get stamed dude get in there Flur go Flur get in there get in just get in FL just get in FL just get in FL I'm I should get it you can do it you do oh my gosh oh my dude holy oh my gosh Liberty has seen your throne so as you can see it's a pretty uh it's a challenging game once you get up to level 9 and above it turns into a very uh a requirement for your team to have some sort of Team cohesion or strategy to your build uh you can't just run and Gun in there you have to have some sort of tactical uh gameplay going on with the team but that's what's kind of cool about the game is that there's so many different very granular difficulty settings I don't even I think I think there's a few more options past nine um it might go up to 10 or it might go up to 12 I'm not really sure uh but the game is is is very cool in that aspect I think if you like GTFO if you like de Rock Galactic you're going to find a very uh similar game here it's just that I feel like this game has been built from the ground up and it really feels entirely different uh than any than any one I've tried before so I've been enjoying it it's one of the games that just like was totally surprising to me I think even the steam page store undersold the graphics and the the the immersion in my opinion but hopefully the footage conveys that even though some of the last matches there I was a little quiet cuz I was playing right beside my cat who was trying to sleep uh you could tell that we were getting really really intense in those matches so yeah I'll see you in the next one thanks for watching [Music] [Music] bye
