On top of that we forcefully bread the Terminids in captivity and ended up inadvertently creating a more aggressive and weaponized version of what they used to be. Now they not only reproduce much faster, but have a very real sense of hatred for humans and have acquired a pretty wicked bloodlust...but on the other hand, what better way to keep Super Earth united then against several common enemy's?

For if you're fellow helldiver hits you with a shot, then he is no longer a patriot but a traitor and thus non longer friendly! This is evidently hostile fire and must be answered in kind!

I mean, in reality they don't. Super Earths PR department just picks which ever name is convenient or sounds good, and makes up whatever tales they want about that diver (whether they exist or not) to tell the citizenry about. The most amazing hell divers are quite likely forgotten, their specific exploits never recognised amongst the chaos, whilst random joes are hyped up as heroes just because it suits some narrative at the time.

"Democracy is non-negotiable!" Glad to see some Helldivers lore and to see just the kind of crazy lore of Super Earth and the Helldivers who fight for it. And most definitely don't fire on other Helldivers. Yup, no friendly fire at all.

When you let a bunch of nerds that grew up on Star Wars, Halo, Warhammer and Starship Troopers do their own thing, this is what you get. A reminder that games can be fun and social. Have a story to them. Bring nostalgia.

"No documented cases of friendly fire" is actually so funny 😂 All of this lore is actually hilarious. So awesome

Honestly, Helldivers May be greatest spin off Ip that had taken inspiration from StarShip troopers. Man does the game made me feel like a kid again.

"Individual helldivers of particular note can easily be elevated to celebrity status across Super Earth, with billions following their exploits to eventual martyrdom."

Im writing a scifi story that involves a satirical stand in for the US and frankly, this game has already done as good a job as I could ever hope to do.

I hope The Templin will talk about the Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation from Universal Century of Gundam in the future, about their society, culture, technology and military power respectively.

I saw my family was eaten by a bug as I said "OH SWEET LIBERTY, NOOOOO!!!!!"

I am a veteran of Helldivers dating back to the First War, and I can definitely confirm Helldivers are an elite amongst the elite used to accomplish the most elite of tasks, and not at all a bunch of incompetent meatheads too dumb to spot propaganda given ten minutes of training and deployed as a bait to figure out where the enemy artillery is. Our equipment is the best of the best and assuredly not full of design flaws due to being made by the lowest bidder for a government with far more defense budget than sense.

I cried when I hear that Cyberstan was experiencing free elections for the first time. It's the highest honor and joy for a citizen. For Democracy!

"I'm from Beanos Aires and I say, 'Kill'em all.'" -Prob something a Helldiver might've said "The only good bug is a dead bug." -Also what another Helldiver might've said

The satire is so on the nose they might as well be shouting "Service guarantees citizenship" in your face lmfao

"Through the use of sophisticated, computer aided voting software..." is one of the most terrifying ohrases I've ever heard. Waaay too real.

The idea of how "managed democracy" can be manipulated was commented on about 50 years ago, in the show "Yes, Prime Minister" Humphrey: “Mr. Woolley, are you worried about the number of young people without jobs?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Are you worried about the rise in crime among teenagers?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Do you think there is a lack of discipline in our Comprehensive schools?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Do you think young people welcome some authority and leadership in their lives?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Do you think they respond to a challenge?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Would you be in favour of reintroducing National Service?” Bernard: “Oh…well, I suppose I might be.” Humphrey: “Yes or no?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Mr. Woolley, are you worried about the danger of war?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Are you worried about the growth of armaments?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Do you think there is a danger in giving young people guns and teaching them how to kill?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Do you think it is wrong to force people to take up arms against their will?” Bernard: “Yes” Humphrey: “Would you oppose the reintroduction of conscription?” Bernard: “Yes” In both cases, Bernard was just asked questions about his thoughts on a subject...

Well the idea of managed democracy isn’t new, as it is a branch of the greater concept that is totalitarian democracy.

Do you guys have outtakes or something, because I refuse to believe there wasn't a whole lot of corpsing going on when trying to record this and I really want to hear that.

The federation of Super Earth is incredibly advanced when you consider the huge scale in which they've colonized the entire galaxy. Hundreds upon hundreds of settled planets with human populations, with thousands of destroyers to transport its military across the span of the milky way.

The developers should make it so that every time your character dies, everything about their appearance/voice is randomized, just to hammer home the fact that this is a brand new helldiver, and not your character respawning. You can always revert the customizations back to what you want when you get back to the ship.
