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.
