Helldivers 2 and Warhammer 40k are both ripe for media literacy discussions. Here's how Super Earth and the Imperium of Man connect.
Helldivers 2 is among the most-played games on Steam. We have spent hours in-game, playing, testing, and tweaking different graphics settings for optimal performance.
The Illuminate are set to come to Helldivers 2 in the future, and a recent leak gives us a look at an enemy called Guy,
The real fight begins for Helldivers 2 players after failing a huge Major Order, as Arrowhead ushers in the next chapter of warfare.
If only the game wasn't so barebones. Out of the super fun core gameplay, the game is a barren land. They better make much easier "major orders", because the player base has mostly moved on.
I really hope they expand the war to where our foes get to super earth like in helldivers 1 I’d imagine the game by then would have tons of stratagems and the vehicles by then
It’s important to establish both successes and failures in order to make community engagement feel genuinely impactful, and not just a predetermined outcome on rails.
They obviously have a bunch of content waiting for deployment, and they plan to trickle it out at whatever pace keeps the community at their desired size.
The game is still much, much more popular than they ever planned. And antitank mines feel like small potatoes compared to the vehicles and new enemies we know are down the road.
Buckle up for a long term plan.
It's satire. Unfortunately, it's lost on some people. The Boys is satire but didn't face backlash until season 3 when a certain demographic suddenly realized they were one of the targets of the satire and then lost their minds.
Media literacy is needed. But it's easy with Starship Troopers the movie, it's menipean. But the book? It's juvenalian satire, like Fight Club.
FFS it’s a game, no b need to read so much into the “message”
I would imagine the people that don't see the satire in games like this are quite young and not very well read.
i really hate game "journalism".. *sigh*
The first time I watched starship troopers as a child I couldn't understand and probably hated the over the top bravado and the pearly white teeth but now much older I see the satire and think now it's a one of a kind film
I'll ask the last helldivers I sent down how they feel about all this but the last I heard was the last 5 never made it out of the crater they dropped into , I do admit sending them solo on extreme brought a hint of guilt but in my defence they got extra pudding before setting off
I would advise young adults to watch the movie the life of Brian it'll set you up for a great life
