Helldivers 2 is reddit personified Anonymous 23-05-25 09:39:49 No.42632

Has there ever been another game that has been even more reddit-focused than helldivers 2?
The satire sucks ass, but hits perfectly for redditors to cling into it, the beginning months were chokefull of vietnam memes because of malevelon creek, which lead to not stale, but rotting memes that redditors just love to cling to ("the trees speak binary", they repeat as the kid that, after several tries, has discovered an joke which has made people laugh), which alongside the "in here we can be racists cause we're hating ironically on other species" and the dev team being absolute cornballs (duolingo and it's consequences) has lead to this army of autists that hold onto this game like it's the best thing to come out in 2024.
Every Helldivers 2 fan deserves to be hanged.

I feel like rootkit games have to appeal to redditors because that's the audience most okay with playing a rootkit game or buying a console. It's why Epic and GameStop going for NFTs seemed like a sensible buisness decision: reddit loves NFTs.

Not OP, but it is possible for a game to be reddit flavored. I like Satisfactory but it had reddit flavored elements before v1.0* that made me wary going into it.

Maybe after too idk I haven't played much yet.*

The game is fun but jesus christ redditoids make me hate the community so much. Symbiotic relationship between the devs and the community of the most cringe larp

It's really bad 'satire'. It's just not subversive, like you're meant to be the bad guys but you are always fighting against monsters, protecting civilians supported by epic music. Despite its inteded aim it acts as AmeriKKKan / Zionist propaganda.

If they wanted to actually make it subversive they would have a no-russian style mission where you drop into a peaceful protest and have to execute a certain amount of protestors (including children, this is especially important) to win. The only people who can fight back use the double barrel shotguns and hide in buildings that you can't enter. You have to airstrike them in order to clear the area. Heroic music is playing but your characters express disgust at what they are doing. At the end of the mission your helldivers are all executed to stop the word getting out. Now that would be subversive.

Gen Alpha Battlefield 3.
The same way The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is Gen Alpha Mogeko Castle. The Ouroboros Cycle repeats for eternity.

I‘m glad I‘m not so jaded that I have to hate on everything

I don't love how we were railroaded into defending super earth but the urban combat is fun. The only thing I wish is that supercredits were more abundant.
