Helldivers 2 is so funny because most live service games announce new content via a cool trailer or press release or something but instead they just secretly put new enemy types into the game and freak people the fuck out when they doscover it
@GreatCheshire there’s no other way to keep things secret and fun anymore so this is probably the best way to do it
@GreatCheshire They have a knack for viral marketing.
@GreatCheshire It's the best part about the game for real! 🤣🤣
@GreatCheshire There’s a real chance they’re about to basically do this with an entire faction and that’ll be cool if so.
@GreatCheshire My personal favorite was when the CEO went from "Bugs don't fly and saying otherwise is treasonous" to "everyone has always known that most Bugs fly, it has always been that way" Love me some 1984 type of roleplay
@GreatCheshire Didn’t one of the devs join a random game, drop a previously unreleased mech for the Divers to use, and then peace out? Man, the devs are having fun with this.
@GreatCheshire that was me and my friends when gunships rolled out We just went to play the game and whilst playing on helldive we ran into them for the first time We died miserably and decided to keep playing until we find them again to throw hands.
@GreatCheshire Them just having a GM to run it is legit the best idea I've ever heard for a live service game. It's amazing.
@GreatCheshire The devs will ACTIVELY DENY we saw these new enemies.
