Arguably easier to deal with in my opinion. Try running a squad with two railguns and two Recoiless rifles. The reason being is that when you have drop ships you can wipe them out. Can’t do that with bugs unfortunately.

Have someone on your squad run nothing but eagles; 500kg, airstrike, cluster and rocket pods. Once a railgun has cooled down for someone they can pick one up. The excessive close air especially when you're about to be overwhelmed is insanely useful. Plus they can lay down enough hate to make space for teammates to spawn.

I love how you can see beams and cannon barrages being called down from ships in the distance. It makes it really feel like you're part of a larger offensive, like in EDF 4, when the radio chatter would talk about other zones, and sometimes enemies would move into your zone from others. Like, "Zone 4 is collapsing, flyers moving to Zone 5!" and then a huge swarm of giant hornets would fly in from the east side of the map.

You guys are absolutely right about how clean the gameplay was for it's time, and I remember being blown away by the graphics, too. And yes, you could definitely play as Kong himself lol, and the gameplay even then was markedly better than the most recent Kong game. I remember suffering during the mission where you had to avoid multiple dinos (either rex's or raptors) while running from cover to cover beneath huge tree root systems that were above ground, if I remember correctly. Such an awesome game!!

My biggest question of all time is why does Drew jiggle his mouse when he goes panic mode. its so funny to watch him do a little twirl with his mouse.

So happy to hear the love for the King Kong game. One of my all time favorites.

9 is just the start for release. If you look at HD1, we are probably going all the way to 12 or 13 by the end of things. As far as the "looks like a PS2 game" comment. Geez, to me, this is one of the most graphically consistent and intricate titles I've seen launch in a long time. Nothing looks out of place, and shockingly for the strange engine it uses it makes use of amazingly detailed animations and convincing physics. When I find myself paying close attention I don't find the typical video game aesthetic like clipping, repeated animations, characters in t pose, bad animation tweening, incorrect angle orientation (skyrim horse), strange gait (too slow too fast incorrect gait entirely), animation inconsistency between 3rd and 1st person... Nothing at all. Feels like I'm looking at something that had the care of a cinematic thrown at it. Not to mention it runs very well, with some future updates promising DLSS I'm excited to get over 200FPS in this game but I am happy that I don't have to report it runs like starfield or other titles that release these days.

Ive seen some people disagree, but each to their own. I think that having 9 be almost actually impossible is ideal because as long as there is something you cannot complete, the effects of power creep are lessened. Im also a big believer in the 'there isnt a meta' thing if you work with your squad and have dedicated overwatch and artillery. The mechs are great fun but people seem not to realise that they are mobile weapons platforms, not tanks. They rip against bugs but the bot missiles will put out out pretty quick

@@pauloazuela8488 Note that this comment is like a month old, quite a bit has changed since then. Mainly in that they've made patrols even worse - More will spawn, the enemy detection ranges are better, and they will now head directly for you when they spawn (instead of just in your general direction). In general, it seems that they're trying very hard to make it harder to stealth as well, so now the new meta is just running away from stuff.

ODST desperate measures sound track in the intro and outro, nice touch!

this footage demonstrates pretty well that the enemies have a really intense snowball effect. You have a lot more manageable swarms when you actually stay on top of them and kill heavies _quickly,_ but if you have huge uncontrolled swarms constantly calling in reinforcements you're likely to get waaaay more heavy spawns.

You and your group of friends are definitely one of the best Helldivers squads I like to watch. Everyone's humorous and cooperative. You lot are THE helldivers :D

Been watching your stuff for a few years and I gotta say your situational awareness is amazing!

I said the exact same thing about the difficulties getting to the point that it should be a real challenge to survive to the end by Helldive difficulty. That's why there are nine difficulties to play on. For example, I always play on difficulty seven casually and nine when I want the good fight. Go to a lower difficulty if nine is too hard and get used to the difficulties under it. No matter what difficulty you do, you still add influence to the overall fight for democracy.

the difficulty before the hardest is called IMPOSSIBLE, so what did you expect

So the two races in the game are very aggressive. I wonder if it would work to have a more defensive orientated faction that you had to siege or infiltrate?

CHANGE YOUR STRAGEMS TO YOUR ARROW KEYS!!!!!!!!!!!! this means you can continue to run while inputting the arrows. Just remeber to line yourself up in a decent direction (away from the enimes/ not at a wall) this means if you mess it up like you did at 8:40 you can retry without standing still.

Tbh difficulty is quite inconsistent. You guys had a pretty chill time, but I can assure you that I had both chill and extremely not chill lvl 9 dives. It all depends on what sort of spawns you get. I've had missions in which there were always at least 4 bile titans and 5 chargers present at all times, with constant hunter swarms and 3 stalker nests on the map. When we talk robots... eh... you already know.

31:20 that was the best timed earthquake imaginable lmao

A good idea I have for the mech: is to have say a self destruct system. like for when its surrounded by enemies with no ammo it'll just self destruct killing everything near it sort of like a Mutual Assured Destruction kind of thing or when the Mech is abandoned because it ran out of munitions it will become the weapon like doing something that attracts hostiles to it then self destructs. don't know where these ideas came from but I did want to share them because they were kind of cool

It’s like the early cods like the big red 1 you really felt like a part of the team and when some you built a relationship dies those campaigns were some of the best

You can do the melee stomp on PC as well, it just only works if your mech is in good condition and I BELIEVE if you're stationary.
