Predictably, leftists are pushing for rainbow and tranny capes in HD2.
If the devs refuse, they will be branded as bigots.
If the devs relent, lgbtq players will be mercilessly team killed on an industrial scale.
I’m pulling for door number two.

Unfortunately for the funny option of number two, last I heard they went with option 3:
Ban EVERYONE trying to bring politics into the game, want an LGBT flag = ban. Want to complain about those wanting an LGBT flag = Ban
So it's really a non issue now. The bigger issue is how they seem to be bringing pilotable mechs into the game and it's reopening the old wounds on Titanfall veterans who remember their game getting abandoned.
What's funny is that this game has been popping up all over YouTube, as a bunch of people are playing it, and now I'm seeing a lot of (former?) Halo players complaining that 343 dropped the ball big time, as Helldivers 2 represents a lot of what Halo should have become.
Yeah I'm getting videos like this in my feed right now.
None of them are hating on Helldivers 2, in fact they love the game but they're lamenting on how the franchises they used to love fell into ruin through poor management.
So Helldivers 2 is scooping up a ton of players from these dissatisfied fans of fallen franchises. Hell, if they add a relatively hot alien race we can 'civilise into democracy' they'll get all the Mass Effect fans to join too lol
Yup, that's what I'm seeing too.
A bunch of people saying "Why didn't/can't [insert AAA franchise here] do what Helldivers 2 is doing?"
What makes it really bad is because Helldivers 2 has zero innovations as far as gameplay mechanics are concerned, it's just a really solid package that works. Zero wokeness, and a pretty decent gameplay loop made on a modest budget.
It basically makes the other AAA studios look even more like clowns than they already do.
Another notch in its favor is its extreme attention to detail. There are a lot of little things this game has in it that you might not notice unless you scrutinize it closely. Such as various reload animations (such as guns having a 1 handed reload for when you have a shield and a proper partial reload for the revolver), a full first person ADS for all weapons including reload animations for that view point, the rocket launcher have back-blast (though that ones more obvious), and full on terrain deformation to name just a few things.
The Fleakazoid review on the game and comparing it to this generation's Left4Dead made me raise a few eyebrows and almost makes me tempted to try it out.
Tempted, but not quite there. I'll let it cook for a bit longer before pulling that trigger.
Helldivers 2 came onto the scene and absolutely ate Suicide Squad's lunch.
I haven't seen a bigger rejection of a game (SS) by gamers in my entire life.
Good point. I feel like we shouldn't do full-on love stuff, just some small cosmetics or something to avoid backlash from people who can't deal with guys who choose bros before women
I just want the fucking jet pack to do more than bunny hop
Yeah I copped it immediately because I figured I could RP as a dark trooper (rip battlefront 2) with my jet pack and arc thrower.
The arc thrower is the shit, but that dog ass jetpack is pain.
Titanfall 2 was some of the best times I've ever had in online multiplayer. Gutting one of the very few promising new IPs for another soulless Battle Royale game is one of the great modern tragedies of the industry.
Tf2 still has servers that won't give your computer AIDs
What happened to Titanfall?
Banished to the Shadow Realm after Apex Legends made EA a gorillion dollars.
Idk how, Fortnite and Apex are overall dogshit games and they are the biggest cash cows in gaming
I mean, the gay shit in Apex is unbearable, but as a shooter it is incredibly competent. Not just the gunplay, but the sound design is top notch.
Whoa they have mechs? Shit now i actually need to play this
It's in the pipeline and there's leaked play testing footage of mechs being piloted by Helldivers.
I'm right now enjoying some of the memes coming from the community, from Malevelon Creek being their Vietnam to Xbox players waiting to join
