horde shooter vs millsim

[markmywords800]

seen some argument over this.

it seems the vast majority prefer the former and a small minority prefers the later.

and it also seems thats where a lot of the contention in the community comes from.

if it's trying to be milsim I don't think it's doing a great job tbh. it has the planetary control aspect as a community feature but outside of that it doesn't really tick most of the boxes you'd expect from an accurate military simulation imo.

They're taking everything from Helldivers 1 and bringing it to 2.

Super Earth Defense? Is there in 1
Weapon Modifications? Is there in 1
Exoskeletons? Is there in 1
Passes? (They used to be DLCs) Is there in 1

When the war is over, we'll go back to Day 1 of the Galactic War, just like in 1, Super Earth was invaded and we focused on it until the enemies left the heart of democracy, that's why Helldivers 2 is slowly digging its own grave, but I'll keep playing this game because I paid R$200.00 reais for it.

the point of the GM is that the war will never end. any time our final victory would approach a curveball is incoming, any time our final defeat would approach something will happen to save us at the last minute.

Darktide already has horde mode covered. Helldivers 2 is great the way it is.

I don't think this should happen, Helldivers 1 was a service game and followed the same path we are following, probably either the devs will drop this game after a few years or their willpower to ''play god'' with us will never end.

people love to generalize because they don't know anything better than an IGN writer.

Helldivers 2 is actually a strand type game.

[axelfirekirby]

i consider it a
extraction/hoard shooter..

when i think mil sim i think arma or foxhole...

[Commander Freedom]

There's no such thing as a third person milsim.
