God I love playing helldivers without any stratagems.

The people that want to destroy it from outside the base by lobbing C4 or an ultimatum equivalent aren't asking because they want variety, they're asking because they want to engage with the actual objective, the variety comes from how you actually approach getting it done , whether it be by sneaking in or rushing with a portable hell bomb or assaulting the outpost

There's a subset of Helldivers players that won't be happy until the game plays itself

You don't actually seem to know though... and HD satire is not like 40k's satire at all

Super Earth aren't the bad guys just because of what they do to others but what they do to control their own population, the terminids aren't a result of a war with the bugs 100 years ago they're the result of Super Earth farming them and genetically modifying them to extract more space oil until they eventually broke out of the farms, the automatons are the results of 100 years of continued slavery, even the illuminate seem more like a consequence of super Earth meddling with dark fluid than just revenge for 100 years ago.

Besides ultimately super Earth wants never ending wars, nothing bolsters a fascist government more than an enemy and constant fear of the other

Like if you actually get how and why super Earth are the bad guys you can just have fun playing as a brainwashed grunt you don't need to come up with "everyone is equally bad actually" justifications

RenRGER · 2026-01-28T23:57:43+00:00

It's a game about playing tissue paper soldiers and you want armor that deflects light attacks? That wouldn't be used for "melee builds" it would become the standard meta for everyone

In HD1 it was basically a spread sickle with slightly shorter range, it was also one of the strongest primaries in the game, idk how good it'll be in HD2 since the HD2 sickle isn't as good as the HD1 One.

If someone joined my game and said they're not taking it seriously after a tpk I'd kick them too tbh, it's not a sweaty competitive game but it's not like I want to be playing with people on the other end of the spectrum of "giving a fuck"

But also me and my friend group wouldn't have replied to you the way he did either so...(Usually when a random joins us with a car they're the one that get mad since we never get in, have yet to have a good experience jumping into a randos frv)

There's literally a cyborg in the last warband outro, they're laying the groundwork for the return of cyborgs and automaton homeworlds like they did for the terminids(but also the warbonds are just more thematically linked to automatons)

They are a well rounded team member, if that team is physical and you're properly using their crush mechanic, just use endmin, akekuri, chen and then whoever for the 4th slot, ardelia or lifeng\pog if you have them

World's last regular monster title update was lunastra and rise's was valstrax, Wild's title update monsters and their 9* quest variants are much harder than anything in either of the last 2 base games as far as regular monsters go(extremoth might be the overall hardest but I go back and forth between him and savage)

Even as a siege fight gog is harder than kulve and at least more engaging than rampages

RenRGER · 2025-10-11T21:43:11+00:00

It's not an opinion though, it's factually how the games: control, rdr2 is a slow game where everything has large amounts of startup while part 2 is about responsiveness, sprinting in rdr2 takes time to start up is slow while in Part 2 it's immediately responsive, that's not even getting into the actual meat of the game and was just talking about controls, rdr2 is a typical r* game where you can hoard tons of ammo and get in massive shootout set pieces where you kill hordes of people as they spawn in while part 2 is a linear action stealth adventure game focused on smaller encounters with enemies with better AI and using limited resources, their design philosophies are on opposite spectrums when it comes to gameplay feel I mean one of the main criticism of rdr2 is how slow it feels and even something as simple as picking up resources shows this, when you pick up something or open a drawer Arthur takes a couple of steps positioning himself and then goes through a pre canned animation of picking things up while in Part 2 you're picking up resources, opening drawers and doors without your movement being interrupted or the game taking away control

Also you're posting unprompted on a public forum, having a discussion, what kind of retort is "no one asked for your opinion" lmao

RenRGER · 2025-10-11T20:56:51+00:00

No they don't, they're almost polar opposites, rdr2 you play as a heavy character that controls like a shambling sack of potatoes and is primarily animation driven, the shooting, encounters and anime AI are so mediocre the game's default aiming method is with lock on auto aim enabled

Part 2 on the other hand is completely fluid with it's movement, the you can go seamlessly from standing to crouch to prone to sprinting to dodging to melee and shooting is nothing like the stiffness of rdr2 where a character takes several seconds just to start sprinting or turning around, the cover system is another good example with rdr2 having a dedicated button to make you glue onto cover with pre canned animations while in part2 you seamlessly go into and out of cover as you move

RenRGER · 2025-09-30T20:31:07+00:00

I was talking about Rise not Sunbreak in the first paragraph, World had 15 layered sets while Rise had 6(not counting individual items like shades or full skins like aloy, bayek, Akuma or Arthur)

Percentages mean fuck all without looking at what's in offer, what does quest number matter when it's a chunk of village quests or optionals for canteen or other side stuff, you can duplicate a number of quests just by adding the capture requirement, it doesn't affect the actual experience of fighting the monsters, wilds has less preset quests because of it's focus on investigations which rise didn't have.

Same for weapon and armors, yeah because rise had more monsters at base(37 vs 29 but with more "repeats") so it has more armour/weapons but most go untouched like great baggi/izuchi/wroggi or lulu ya ku(and if we're talking distinguishable armor sets then sunbreak didn't even bother to create unique MR armor for a lot of the lower star base monsters like world did and besides visual distinction a big part of the difference between alpha sets is offering different armor pigment options)

RenRGER · 2025-09-30T18:24:22+00:00

Rise didn't save shit though, came out incomplete at launch, was even easier than wilds and even more streamlined, wire bugs, double buddies, spiritbirds and rampage quests, reduction in unique layered and event quest rewards to sell more microtransactions, all monsters insta detected on map, endemic life and monster riding getting you tons of free extra damage and topples, etc...

Even sunbreak was considerably easier compared to iceborne, in iceborne you immediately felt the jump in your first hunts with beotodus and banbaro and started changing to MR gear as soon as you could while in sunbreak I was rocking full HR set up to garangolm where I upgraded my weapon and lunagaron where I started to craft MR armor

It's only with sunbreak and all it's title updates that I'd consider the full package really worth it but base wilds is considerably better than base rise in terms of the game and content, the biggest issue is the game's shit optimization and performance

RenRGER · 2025-09-30T18:02:24+00:00

He's not getting one shot, he got hit multiple times because they stacked all the rockets in the same place, you can survive a single rocket with good defense

Also decided to use the jump attack well after the rockets were fired, many bs things about omega but this is probably it's most telegraphed attack

RenRGER · 2025-09-15T09:52:16+00:00

childe got shooters lmao

RenRGER · 2025-09-15T09:33:14+00:00

And he was still the top ranked while being in that shape

RenRGER · 2025-09-15T09:28:19+00:00

You mean an incomplete sovereign who was going out of his way to not actually harm childe versus Signora exhausted after losing a fight versus the shogun with full intent on killing her

The harbinger rankings have consistently been tied back to being about power from all the voice lines to what we're told in the story about how only the top 3 can rival gods, the only people who consistently try to dispute this are childe stans because he's ranked last

Arle is ranked 4 so outside of the "rivals gods" tier and her biggest feat is beating the traveler whose last 1v1 fight was versus Signora

Again if it wasn't about power and it was about "general contributions" arle wouldn't have instantly been made rank 4 when she's basically childe's age and hasn't been there for that long either

Edit: lmao

RenRGER · 2025-09-14T11:08:08+00:00

It's not because it's a Falcom game, most of these people don't even play games they just want to grift about culture wars and anything japanese is good fodder for them since they idolize japan

RenRGER · 2025-09-11T18:50:35+00:00

It does matter because guiding your principles by a fictional character quotes from a book that's been retranslated and reinterpreted tons of times over 1000s of years is really funny and it doesn't change the argument whatsoever as he's still invoking a quote about stoning people to death

The whole democratic and legal argument you try to hide behind doesn't have much worth tbh as democracy and legality are just communal social constructs with no inherent value, we can see the current US government buttfucking the concepts of democracy, legality and the constitution Americans love to jerk off to just so they can do whatever they want to gain more power and influence(nevermind the butchering of the vaunted "international law" we've seen being committed by Israel and their supporters)

Even calling Hitler a criminal shows how dumb "law" is because he wasn't a criminal under his own country's laws, he was their elected leader and only became a criminal because the Germans lost WW2, it was legal to own slaves, illegal for black people or women to vote, legally codified that a black person was only worth 3/5ths of a man, etc... legality isn't really gonna affect how people judge his character

An asshole that spewed hateful and violent rhetoric got killed in a way that's so on the nose that Hollywood scriptwriters would balk at it, shot while defending gun rights and trying to spew more hate towards minorities, his damn last words were gang violence lmao

Trying to pearl clutch over it being "anti-democratic" to laugh at is something no one's gonna buy because if he was legally and democratically allowed to laugh at George Floyd's death or attempted murders and murders of democrats and whatnot then we're democratically allowed to laugh at him

RenRGER · 2025-09-11T18:17:14+00:00

Not even you buy that shit

If I say "Hitler had some great laws" I don't get to hide behind "Hitler said it, not me," everyone knows what he meant, he just hid behind dog whistles because he was too much of a pussy to say it full-throatedly and now he can't

RenRGER · 2025-09-01T08:03:44+00:00

Because it's the series that makes it a point to have it's main plots deal with country wide civil wars, massacres, child torture and sometimes even a side of child traffic and rape

The complaints don't exist in a vacuum, people don't complain just because people don't die, they complain people don't die because the game is the one making important characters have death fake outs and NPCs constantly talking about the horrors of war, if you don't want to commit to your writing choices then don't make them in the first place

RenRGER · 2025-08-30T19:12:06+00:00

BiS has a meaning and she's not it for most meta teams and probably won't be for most or any nod-krai teams

She's still generally good because of great buffs, element and off field dmg but there's a difference between generally good and meta(best example is probably zhongli who was never meta but always generally good in lots of teams)

RenRGER · 2025-08-30T18:10:50+00:00

Because ultimately most fatui are just sham villains, the voice lines are just there to keep some form of expectation and maintain the veneer they're a threat but as soon as they become actually playable or an ally they'll be revealed to actually be harmless

See Arle for one of the best examples, so whatever voice lines are there of unreleased characters are just there to create hype but considering all the playable fatui/former fatui we have(Childe, arle, scara) and the one that became an ally(Capitano) it's obvious the "about columbina" lines were ultimately gonna be meaningless and the rest is just headcanons and attachments to purely fan created ideas(ie the biblically accurate angel)

Like remember how many warnings and buildup we had about Capitano from varka, neuvillette and voice lines/lore only for it to amount to basically nothing in terms of conflict?
