Which is better, Helldivers 1 or 2?

[Sukhoi Su-35S]

Never played the second, only the first, so which is better?

Both games are 3D, first one was top down shooter, IMHO it had its charm, and was more focused on co-op. IMHO HD1 was more fun.

HD2 is a horde shooter and not a good one. Apart from 3D first person perspective and ability to separate from your squad, and MTX, it didn't add anything new to the game.

HD2 has less weapons, less upgrades, less enemies (one whole alien race is missing), only one Mech, no APC, shared ammo supplies / boxes drop.

And whole bunch of software bugs.

Though, HD1 is almost dead game now.

Yeah for some reason the Illuminate got axed, which I'm not a fan of even though I didn't like fighting them.

Illuminates are coming back. They were "axed" narratively because we wiped them out in the first game. They probably needed more time to finish them is my guess. In-game files show all sorts of audio and models of them

Do you like isometric or third person better?

Honestly not a fan of the isometric view of the first game, but I still loved it all the same.

It was definitely a ton of fun.

We're getting them soon at least, they have been taking potshots at some divers occasionally as of late with the blue sniper lasers in HD2. It's been teased quite a bit actually. I remember the Illuminate were for when I needed a break from needing anti-tank weapons. The Illuminate had all "light" units you could mow down with raw DPS, so stuff like the machine guns and gatling turrets ripped them to shreds. You still had to watch for the shield walls and reverse beam guys that messed with your controls. It was different yet fun. Cyborgs were least fun to play in HD1, I remembered they were almost always the last faction to beat in a war lol

I remember getting cucked by the shield walls, either getting killed by them outright or getting shot through them.

The grenade launcher had a legit use against the illuminate in HD1. It can go over the shield walls to pop them, I used this many times with great effect. Ditto for autocannon, in HD1 it was a goof weapon really, didn't damage heavy armor and due to small screen was easy to kill teammates. But it was fantastic against the squids.

Most of you issues with HD2 will prob be solved once they add new things, but ur points are mad valid yo

I think HD2 needs weapon and enemy balancing with an emphasis on buffing and not nerfing our firepower. That needs to be pushed a lot more than adding new stuff.

hmm its a good question and i have played helldivers 1 and didnt think much of it but i want to look at a few things ! the company truly was indie when they created helldivers 1 and over its life time got lots of content and work done on it and the game was kinda cheap and i think it might even be on the ps plus catalogue! so thats pretty cool and the game was well within the devs skill level and the community seemed generally nice!

helldivers 2 a much bigger concept with a plan to do a galactic live service war ! : we have seen bigger companies try this and fail}
cool they are now owend by sony got 100`s of employees are no longer indie and have a massive budget ! game is not super expensive oh wait it also has premium battlepass`s and main gun progression is in the battlepass this is horrible !
oh the game barely works! {if the servers are working its likely your game will just be crashing }
the game lacks content its insane 4 mission wtf
stats in game do not work as devs intend and they are just patching and breaking more stuff and releasing new battlepass and breaking more stuff and the galactic battlemap is the most boring grind that is clearly just being manipulated by devs with strange fan fiction to make people think they are making a impact ! really the battle pass release dates have far greater impact
the community is probably the most toxic i have ever seen and its a freaking PVE game lol the toxic behaviour is legit worse then league of legends players!

all up i would give it to helldivers 1 less lies and the game seemed with in the indie teams skill to create !
helldivers 2 should be knocked back to early access!
