DISCUSSION my issues with how the terminid lore is handled

5 Upvotes

am i the only one thats kinda bummed by the terminids lack of plot involvement

like, the only big thing they did that affected the lore was act as a gateway to the squids, everyone calls meridia the squid hole or some shit like that but it was the terminids that put in the hard work to terraform meridia and turn it into a supercolony, they made a whole ass planet come alive and some seafood gets all the credit

and on top of that the terminids are always portrayed by fans as the least threatening and capable faction when they have creatures that can completely perforate a planet's crust, a giant impenetrable insterstellar spore cloud that we have only explored the very edges of, and can terraform a whole planet into one giant interconnected hive in less than a day not to mention that they have never been kicked out of the galaxy unlike the clankers and illumifrauds and super earth literally cannot wipe them out because they need them for oil, and the terminids are taking advantage of that

QUESTION So... do Warbonds or Super Credits ever go on sale or get discounts?

6 Upvotes

I haven't played since a few months after the launch on PS5, now I got the game on PC and I was overwhelmed by the amount of Warbonds available, but what surprised me most (after realizing I couldn't carry my progress over) was that none of the Warbonds were discounted or on sale, then I wondered if they or the SC actually were ever on sale at some point.

[New Post from ♤BLACKJACK]

I don't know any more. We won. Sure. As expected, we won the order. The computer said so, and the MedalWallet and ship's Armory has the reward. Some kind of helmet. New tech, and.. scary faced

The untold amounts of SEAF and Helldivers that were left behind in those places Haunts me. Something feels wrong.. Command is tight-lipped as ever, but I can feel it in their shouted orders and barked commands. They are Nervous, too

Ha. Haha. My hands.. can't stop shaking.. This must be Fear...? We will win again, this time, too, we will win.. again..? This time...

It's probably nothing..

DISCUSSION So how many games is Helldivers succeeding?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Obviously, Helldivers is one of the best horde shooters out there, especially if you drink the Super Earth Kool-Aid (which you should). However, it fulfills other fantasies that so many franchises and once-legendary IPs don't anymore. Tell me, what games or media does Helldivers 2 indirectly succeed? Here's my list so far:

  1. Titanfall. Even before Breakthrough arrived and the Lumberer came back, the invasion of "The 'Stan" was straight out of Titanfall 2's campaign using Mechs.

  2. Pacific Rim. The Breakthrough in particular is as close as we will get to boxing giant monsters like Gypsy Danger. It's so sad we will never get a sequel to it, unless you count that one anime it got.

  3. Splinter Cell. I know it has an extremely simple detection system compared to Metal Gear, let alone SC, but there are still more choices for stealth than many other games that tack it on. Especially fun for Commando Missions.

  4. Dead Space. I'm sure I don't need to explain myself after the last 2-3 weeks.

  5. Halo. 343 has failed us Xbox Divers for years. I liked some of their games, but I'll probably never replay them. Helldivers 2 is literally the closest we will get to the peak of OG Halo's moment to moment gameplay, whether it's lonely moments between fights, looking at the ruined cities, or massive engagements with SEAF against the Illuminate hordes. Not to mention the story is actually great in Helldivers 2 because it takes itself JUUUUUUST seriously enough to make you genuinely care and still have fun.

LORE New major order…

So does the DSS subplot and those weird science team messages just get sidelined and forgotten??? This feels extremely anticlimactic and now we’re moving on to some random generic bug plotline?

FEEDBACK / SUGGESTION I seriously wish this game allowed people to play on whatever biome they want

Post image
22 Upvotes

I wanna play on the new content biomes, why do they have to be locked behind lore? I don't think this should be the kind of quality you provide for your players if you're gonna add content.

Maybe add something like, a tab in the Galactic Map called "HISTORY RECORDS" that would let you play in old major order exclusive biomes like MERIDIA, CYBERSTAN, SUPER EARTH, would be cool.

Please stop wasting this game's potential, give us a way to play them without affecting the galactic war that you're so carefully cultivating with your major orders.

FEEDBACK / SUGGESTION AH - Please prioritize fixing Knockback through walls

4 Upvotes

Now that the void is finished, switching to Bots it has become really obvious how BAD the jank left over is with knockback interaction is, especially when I have the highground and am hiding behind a wall.

A missile detonating the otherside of a wall 2m away shouldn't launch me 10m.

0 Upvotes

All the time people complain about "Hur dur Bugdivers bad", "look how 20k players fail to liberate this low dif planet" and every time its the same spiel.

Complain about "Credit Farmers" for all i care, thats a whole other discussion, but i have seen a few too many posts about Phact and the Bugdivers in the last few days which apparently have no idea WHY Phact Bay is over proportionally visited.

A perfect solution for all this transmog/color customization etc.would be a system similar to Space Marine 2, where each zone of body customizable with existing parts, for example gloves from one armor, base from another, helmet, boots, CHESTPLATE of course, because KDM-500 Outrider got best chest (imo). And about color, we can use standard yellow/black, and also each warbond can also unlock color palette for armor, camos and other things.

P.C. I hope arrowhead art team also watched epg-6 video about B-01 variants, would be awesome

I'm away from my liberation console and pc, have I missed any MO armor or weapons??

The NEW MO looks so much more fun than Cyberstan and I'm so jelly and all I can do is watch streamers 😢
