    Well said. Clearly they are 2 different types of game with a similar concept. I’ve been finding myself hopping back and forth between the two because they scratch different itches. Space marine scratches the itch to being an unstoppable force going up crazy odds, whereas helldivers scratches the itch of being a very stoppable force that refuses to allow crazy odds stop them

      This game isn’t even 9 hours long and they want $70 for it. Multiplayer doesn’t offer much, I don’t see at all how this compares to helldivers. What is this game gonna have after all the dlc drops?

      @TarceGaming 2 месяца назад +2

      @@homelander2243 well to be fair it’s only $60 USD and does have a PVP system which on it own sets it apart from helldivers. Plus with space marine the main draw is the Warhammer 40k setting so it doesn’t matter that the game isn’t taking a live service approach, because after all the dlc drops, the game is going to be what fans of 40k play when they want to play a game as an space marine killing enemies of the imperium or other space marines.

      Dont get me wrong I really liked helldivers 2 when it came out, and it had potential, but the devs killed it, the trust isnt there anymore. The thing is, theres no point in playing helldivers 2 (in my personal opinion) when every single weapon even in a new warbond gets nerfed or you dont even get to try it, just to feel if its worth grinding for. Why even bother? It becomes a literal chore and personal preferences turn into using anything that is barely functional which means im forced to use things I dont like. War Hammer feels like Im killing as much as I can and want, I feel powerful, I feel i can make a difference, I feel like im not being sent into something that im clearly under equipped for. Hell divers feels like I run, hide and hope I dont get swarmed because the equipment I'm given is so weak its borderline treason and better to speed run, than to fight and eradicate enemies they gave us fkn throwing knives for godsake dude thats not swarm killing sht.

    It's funny how much the narrative has flipped on Space Marine 2, everyone was calling it a Helldivers killer but that couldn't be further from the truth just for how undercooked the whole experience is. Don't get me wrong, Space Marine 2 was really fun and I'm digging the pvp at the moment but it doesn't have that spark and charm that Helldivers 2 has, it just doesn't. Power fantasy or not, Helldivers 2 is just the more satisfying game, even after 450+ hours.

    space marine 2 is so different from helldivers 2. space marine 2 has no emergent gameplay, very on rails and all the sequences are scripted. theres less freedom and tons of “stand in this area and shoot bugs crawling up this pre-determined spot for 2 minutes then go to an elevator”, the quicktime events are so annoying. i feel like im constantly stuck in an animation.

    2 different game concepts
    in HD2 you're surprisingly elite cannon fodder vs unsurmountable odds
    in SM2, you're a supersoldier facing hordes of mooks
    HD2 will lose players to SM2 because a lot of people thought mistakenly HD2 was about being a supersoldier
    those that did understand HD2's game concept and go with it will stay
    also HD2 makes losing to team f-ups fun in a way that SM2 can't achieve

    This was very well laid out, thanks for the video. I tried conveying a similar message to friends of mine but a lot of the "SM2 killed Helldivers" argument comes from people who were already ready to jump ship onto another game due to the changes HD2 made. They're both great games, and they attack the same concept with different angles of approach. They're incredibly similar but when you really dig into the games, there's enough that sets them apart to where you can enjoy both without feeling like you're playing the same game. I think SM2 will be a good break from HD2 while devs roll out these changes to win back the players, and I think it'll be good to see the HD2 community return when they need a break from SM2.

    3:32 hit it right on the head. HD is the more unique experience, the more sandbox open ended gameplay seems to make it a little harder to balance for and just like every live service game it goes in Epps and flow. While SM is the more traditional coop shooter. Yes you have the director in it changing enemy placement but the objectives are still the same. Both do have a lot of similarities but many more differences.

    No, people don't play the same game forever. The same way Space Marine 2 won't be killed by the next thing that comes out, people will just have played it enough. Games "dying" somehow became a Internet buzzword. BG3 and Elden Ring lost most of their player base, it's not like these games were a failure, it's just that people played through these games at launch, now it's people replaying it or buying it on sale. Space Marine 2 will "die" sooner than Helldivers 2, because it's not a live service game.
    The only games that can survive for years on end are MMOs and live service games.

I legit don't know where this idea of "we need overpowered weapons to even win" came from. Maybe when the game launched because our options were limited but now? We got tons of murder options and if you're still bitching about "weapon balance", you're part of the problem, over tuning weapons won't bring people back.
