Not just cribbing, a bunch of it is word for word and the message follows the exact same format. It's not even subtle lol.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago

Yes, it's awesome

I saw the sinking ship line and immediately knew

[-] shath@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

this rules so hard

[-] coolusername@hexbear.net 60 points 2 months ago

i wonder if even 0.1% of the people who play this game understand the message they are trying to get across

Its not even a 40k situation where the imperium is only to blame for 99% of the problems they face, everything bad that happens in helldivers is because of Super Earth. The bugs are bred and modified to produce ~~oil~~ e-710, the borgs/automatons just wanted to establish space communism, and even the illuminates which is arguably the most evil enemy faction only become that way because they lost billions of lives after Super Earth genocided them for "WMDs"

And their WMD's was literally just futuristic space technology they used for travel. Super Earth wanted to make them into WMD and the Illuminate were like "uh no thank you"

A surprising amount do

I shoot the ones who are chuds

I love that the host has indiscriminate power to kick

Especially since my partner always hosts our games

[-] coolusername@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

how would you know? are you having debates on vc?

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

My screen name is an obvious ML reference, so anyone who shit talks gets executed and kicked. Met a suprising number of comrades, and most people with voice chat seem to be in on the joke. Still probably libs at best, but very very few outright fascists.

[-] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 45 points 2 months ago

Is this really in the game? If so that's amazing.

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 54 points 2 months ago

Yeah according to the lore the Cyborgs are transhumanist socialists that have tried to establish space communism without apparently defeating the fascists once and for all on earth first I guess. Seems like a critical oversight.

[-] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 36 points 2 months ago

To err is human, so to ERROR is cyborg I guess

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago

Cyberstalin shouldn't have stopped at Neo-Berlin

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

Can't believe I'm finally going to play a live service game just to establish Luxury Gay Space Communism.

[-] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I’m tempted but I know this won’t amount to anything with the game’s trajectory.

Would be sick as hell for a “Heresy” or civil war to be added. Even if the devs have zero intention of adding PVP, it wouldn’t be too hard to add human NPC mooks. But I guess that defeats the point.

Maybe I should play this game again. It wasn't the most interesting visually which is what determines what games I play nowadays (we only have one TV so me hogging it playing games means my partner is watching too lol). But it sounds so cool.

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Its very fun, and if you've got a decent PC, some of the lighting can look very cool! Consoles can barely handle the game's spaghetti code to run it at a solid 30fps, and that's with toned down graphics.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 months ago

If those Helldivers could read they'd be very upset

[-] Juice@midwest.social 10 points 2 months ago

Seems like a good time to get back into it

[-] ashestoashes@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 months ago

I oughta get round to playing more of this game. If only I had some buddies to play it with.
