Can I still be a communist if I play Helldivers 2?
THE FUCK YOU MEAN FLOOD DETECTED

>>33862
>Can I still be a communist if I have fun?
No.

>No.
Damn

yeah

>>33864
> frogposting
that one's not allowed tho

Fun game but god damn can some of the bugs (game bugs, not the enemies) really take you out of it.

Yippee, another flavour of the month thread! Good thing this one is dogshit too!

>>33868
People are too obsessed with performative politics, I hate it.
>aM i nOt A cOMmUniSt iF i LiKE thIS tHInG!!?

>>33869
You are only allowed to play games approved by /leftypol/'s people's commissars, silly.

>>33869
I think it was just an excuse to talk about Helldivers II on leftypol lol

>another flavour of the month thread!
nothing wrong with this

>>33867
reminder that armor value still does nothing whatsoever regardless of the number,half the weapons have wrong armor penetration,and all the escort mission requires absolute cheese to accomplish.

>>33868
i hate it when uyghas talk about video games on the video game board

ngl, when i found out that there's a premium currency in a PAID GAME, my interest in the game dropped like a fucking brick lmao

>>33944
BRO, you literally don't have to pay for the currency tho, you literally get lots of it for free just from playing the game, and the premium currency serves no serious purpose.

>>33868
its fun to play with friends

>>33869
obviously just a jokey way to start the threat, dial back your autism

>>33968
Playing with randos ain't that bad either tbh.

No, it makes you a SocDem.

The game is solid but the grind's too much. No doubt it was Sony mandating that bullshit.

>>33944
It's yucky, but unlike similar games, the passes never go away, you will always be able to go back and unlock things on them. And you can earn the premium currency in game and in the free battle pass. The free battle pass is literally designed to pay for the "paid" battle pass.

>Can I still be a communist if I play Helldivers 2?
Yes, sure thing. You absolutely can. Even there's some guy out there who made some fanfiction and fanart about it. Communism isn't woke either. It's not our fault that the reality is Marxist. Our blood are red and our hearts are on the left. It's always has been our destiny.

>>34039
Communism is the definition of being WOKE. everyone else is sleeping.

Thoughts on the automatons?

>>34068

Satirizing fascism will always be pointless, etc. etc.

Maybe by starting to edit the wiki that socialism & communism are just beyond democracy, which is the Super Democracy?

>>34051
>Communism is the definition of being WOKE. everyone else is sleeping.
My comrade-in-arms, by their logic, Capitalism is the definition of being WOKE. Everyone else is sleeping!

It's literally anti-fascist satire lmao. The fact that fashies play it unironically (like every other game that's deeper than a puddle) and go balls deep with the roleplay does not take away from the fact that it's actively making a mockery of them at every turn. The whole point of the game is to be the anti-CoD in the sense that it hammers home constantly the fact that you're not the main character, you're not a hero, you're an expendable cog in the military machine of a fascist state with a life expectancy measured in hours and a survival rate of around 20 percent on first deployment.

>>34112
>official helldivers ideology is managed democracy

heh maybe this game is alright

>>34113
I prefer the enemy being built up more visibly as socialist and better than the fascists being satirized. Fascists are, after all, beyond parody, and will readily and eagerly say shit twice as dystopian as whatever the satirist can come up with. But actively praise socialism, and their pooper starts to hurt.

>>34113

Not this again.

The thing is that afaik the actual socialists (the cyborgs and every other group of people who tried to distance themselves from Super-Earth) are long gone, crushed under the bootheel of Super-Earth's military during the events of the first Helldivers game. I'm not sure if the automatons are actually fully converted borgs or merely war robots that the cyborgs made, but as far as the unreliable narrative that is the series canon is concerned, they are mainly driven by their burning hatred for Super-Earth rather than any sort of coherent ideology.

>>34117
Apparently, players cannot name a single NPC that has actually been to Super Earth. Helldivers themselves are popsicles, and the training facility is on Mars.

I don't play the game to verify through mining for lore, though.

There was a helldivers 1?

>>34121
yes

it was basically magicka with guns

>>34113

Yes, it is.

Why yes, indeed. How could you tell?

>>34130
>>34129

>>34115
This is true and it gives me great joy to do so, even greater joy in knowing they're so far down OUR rabbithole a this point they've basically already taken the Red pill. They're just too dumb to know it yet. We've more or less already gotten them to utterly reject this entire society and this entire system.

>>34249
One might argue it's a case of interpassivity, where none of the people actually did anything to oppose the system, but feel like they did. Cloaking themselves in irony and distansing themselves, while their hand is still on the handle, cranking that machine, like good little Eichmanns.

Sure but conservatoids will love it as well because they don't see the satire. That's how it works.

NOT A DRILL
THE AUTOMATON FORCE HAS BEEN DEFEATED

I received it as a birthday present and so far it's pretty fun.

>>33862
yeah yeah helldivers and shit but should I get EDF 5 while it's on bundle?

https://www.humblebundle.com/games/earth-defense-force-friends-unite?hmb_source=&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_1_layout_index_1_layout_type_threes_tile_index_1_c_earthdefenseforcefriendsunite_bundle

>>34432
It's kind of fun for split screen co op.

cyberstan has been liberated??

>>33862
You can still be a commie regardless of the games you play it matters more the actual contributions you put in the real world.

>>34449
Cyberstan has been OCCUPIED by red robocommie scum.

>>34475
Good.

>>34476
That's a very unfree and antidemocratic attitude to take citizen.

>>34432
EDF 5 is good. To be real with you, they don't add much between games so getting it on sale is a better deal than waiting for 6, especially if your friends havne't played it out.

lmao Starship Troopers simps & Vietnam larpers are btfo by Sony.

Hahaha

Get wrecked, dorks

This is pretty incredible. I can't remember the last time there was a reversal this drastic and this sudden. Popular game riding high on surprise success and comfortably bouyied by a warm sea of customer good will, and it all just evaporates in an instant because of a bullshit policy and inept twitter pr response.

>>35126
This is why I just pirate old-ass games Instead buying new ones. They always have problems.

>>35124

Not a single game, but Bethesda as a studio basically nuked the goodwill they had with fans, and they did it twice in a row.

>>35132
Bethesda regained fan trust with the Fallout TV show.
I have no idea how the Helldivers people are going to get out of this one though.

https://www.eurogamer.net/sony-overturns-helldivers-2-psn-requirement-following-backlash

>>33862
Sony destroyed this game.

But its literally a spiritual adaptation of the Starship Troopers movie, which was a satire on fascist propaganda. There are people who like it unironically because they are themselves fascists. It's the problem of having a community that gets its kicks from pretending to be idiots eventually being filled by actual idiots who believe they're in good company.

>>35124
>>35125
>>35126
Did Sony kill the goose that lays the golden eggs or will gamers suck it up, make the account for the quarterly earnings report, and go on consooming?

>>35136
lol they already rolled it back like a day ago dude

>>35137
For now. I bet they're going to push for it again when the backlash subsides.

>>35166
I doubt it, they got their fingers burned too hard on this, they'll probably still require it for all future games though.

Managed democracy is tyranny. Down with super earth

>>35215
Insectoid manipulators wrote this post.

I dont think you are a commie if you dont enjoy some helldivers action

>Helldivers 2
imma be honest despite the name I never knew there was a Helldivers 1.

>>36209
It was not a AAA game and not even in the same genre

>>36209
I played it once on a free weekend on steam.

>>36210
>It was not a AAA game and not even in the same genre
Yeah I was confused about helldivers 2 because the first one is top down twin stick.

I'm pretty happy about the new patch. The hmg emplacement isn't a total piece of shit now.

>>36212
I went back to Deep Rock Galactic to scratch my co-op shooter itch.

>>36209
I went and bought 1 to try it out and its really fun. We need more twin stick shooters like it

>>34332
absolutely this, the second I booted it up and saw the opening cinematic it was evident that the whole thing is an allegory for US imperialism. Though /pol/chuds probably want that unironically and feel like they're getting it now with the whole Canada/Greenland/Panama canal shitshow
>>34039
Of course there's a fanfic author for every possible combination of autistic special interests
