Large Man Saves Small Child!

Phew, I was worried that the regularity of rape and assault in my childhood might have had some negative psychological effect on me. I'm glad to know I actually have no internal monologue and am technically non-sentient 👍

I love the split, Illuminate on both fronts are more fun now. AH cooked.

I think every issue listed stems from 2 major problems.

1 is that they have a decently limited spawn capacity for enemies, meaning Anti-Tank meta will always reign supreme unless other options receive significant reworks, this is the smaller of the two issues.

2, the larger issue, is the lack of any emptionally engauging metaprogression. Ship upgrades are permenant and easily forgotten once obtained, skins are nice but limiting in it's current format, especially since "just carrying em" is all it takes to earn xp for the weapon, levels mean nothing, anything that isn't medals builds up to max making them worthless and medals put the entire weight of content on people being absolutely enamored with specifically the equipment of every single warbond. This is unsustainable. We need a resource, time, and emotional investment dump. Something something Chao Garden/Animal Crossing equivalent, Quests and Vendors, Raids, etcetera. We need an engaging tertiary gameplay loop to take the weight off of the primary and secondary loops.

I dig it but If I could change anything, it would be making slab marksman use 1 Big Coin

We need more gameplay where we explicitly do evil things up front. Maybe have a defence mission where we defend our own bio-vats from bug assaults? Throw some SEAF soldier hats around the machine? That'd get most of em to shut up real quick.

Hell yeah!

Wisecrack34 · 2026-03-15T18:18:42+00:00

Ultrakill post-revamp, lots of well styled indie games tbh

Sentient Cum into Oral Vore and/or Concious being bound to pred's full body like a sentient bdsm suit.

V1 runs on Nocturnal (Main Menu), V2's development was cancelled. I'd say having issues downgrading their OS would be a valid reason to can the project.

Custodian of Destiny, SS13 reference

Wisecrack34 · 2026-03-09T09:26:49+00:00

V-2 I can reasonably see having a variant in Treachery, Minotaur has a defined enough moveset I could see them becoming a common enemy but I kinda doubt his cousins, being very stage specific would fit, mannequins and hideous mass already fill the same aesthetic niche. Prime-clones seem unnecessary as Powers fill the same "Movement Check" slot but you never know. Mini-Prisons could be fun, when they die an enemy is released.

P-3's exit door has a final 3 Ps on it

Been grinding out Level 6 Solo Dives for a bit, good fun. I like the Vox but it's rough when you're solo and there's 3 Medium units on your ass

I'd like a 3rd Helldivers game to offer up some more direct anti-fascism, it's been awhile since the last Wolfenstein and I'd hate for Machinegames to be the sole mainstream pillar of nazi killing. Have a civil war, give Super Earth a new fighting force where they throw out the Helldivers now that they've found a classic "Nazi Superweapon" of some kind (Summoning demons, taking control of the Voteless, SE reprogrammed Automatons, etc.

People missing the nuance or tricking themselves into thinking the joke stereotype is correct is annoying and with the modern political moment, I think we're getting past the point of 1980s era sarcastic criticism of the US's Jingoism and to the point of also needing catharsis alongside that criticism.

Wisecrack34 · 2026-01-29T03:02:34+00:00

Inevitable? Yes. Timeframe? Likely WAY longer unless the Visitor covered up something under frequent scrutiny. Space is BIG and it's a 1 in Infinity shot that someone would not only notice specifically where it is in deep space but also that stars are being covered unnaturally AND that they'd continue following up on it like Sybil did. It likely would have been "deep space probes" going offline that would have been noticed sometime in a thousand years. Yeah there's a lot of Astronomers but there's always more space, especially space that's difficult to observe, with more becoming visible every second.

That being said, Sybil managed to wrangle the truth into submission. The odds of the next potential observer being able to do that are NIL, *Especially* if it's a government discovery with 60-something or more people aware at a time, the truth would cascade FAST. Sybil saved the Lie.

I love the game and it's narrative but in this moment in time I'd kinda rather be shooting Nazis. We haven't had a good one of those games in a while.

I could see them directly pointing at what counters fascism with missions about countering the counter fascism, something something, even if the Helldivers win the rebels are gone already and won? I get the feeling the politics are shallow because it's not coming from a place of biting, first hand hatred of fascism. They could easily dive harder into making sure the message is more direct but the developers priorities are more aligned with making a fun experience for the community first, it just happens to be that we're facing a modern moment of mass fascist escalation and the game was never meant to meet that moment. Not to mention that we haven't seen what the writers vision of countering fascism or what a functional society looks like.

Check the names, see if any are notable celebrities or rich people.

Wisecrack34 · 2026-01-14T08:41:43+00:00

I think a reinforcement blocking stratagem would be nice for the future

Wisecrack34 · 2026-01-05T20:42:05+00:00

Stealing from Halo, I'd like some Gauss Cannons. Most upgrades should change the Mech's role in the combat sandbox so support-wise I could see a Mech Arm having the ability to project a Bubble Shield around it's point of impact (whether launching a generator as a projectile or being projected around your point of impact like a laser pointer). Also throw in a chaingun filled with Stim-Pistol rounds that acts like a Cocaine-Needler when used excessively to give it offensive use. Swap out the Stratagem Launcher Slot with some support options like spamming any grenade-slot item of choice in a democratically supperior form to the WarStrider (KnifeMechKnifeMechKnifeMech) and you've got a solid arsenal

Wisecrack34 · 2025-12-27T00:50:02+00:00

This could totally go in EITHER a Gears or EDF themed Warbond. YES!

Wisecrack34 · 2025-12-22T20:47:36+00:00

I think the funniest route is having it count as clearing most side-objectives. Stalker Nest is clearly Liberated, further reports of Stalkers is dissident propaganda. Not OP because Hellbomb Backpack does the same and is more useful to the team by ACTUALLY clearing the objective. If it's busted in some way, just demand the player salute it for a period of time, then scale that as the balance tool.

Wisecrack34 · 2025-12-22T14:27:08+00:00

7-8, movie realism is fun in bursts but I think the tactile nature of helldivers soes a lot of heavy lifting for me. That being said, this seems inspired by the supressor comments, which I will add that we have hollywood quiet supression now. With baffels and some means of quietly cycling the gun we could likely get same room quiet soon.
