Helldivers 2 players question the developers' decision to give an enemy an unlimited amount of rockets. Should they nerf Rocket Devastators?
OMG breaking news, something in a video game is unrealistic. We need to stop this madness.
To be fair, from my experience, the majority of players in Helldivers understand the satire and criticism of fascism in this game, pretty much like it is with Starship Troopers, and most just roleplay being aware of the circunstances and even in that post on Reddit most of the players show that they do understand the intentions of the lore. So, yeah, there are some that are beggining to question who's good and who's bad, but most players already knew the answers and paralels to history since day 1 or quickly were able to connect the dots
Seemed pretty obvious from the beginning we weren't the good guys in that game just like starship troopers
"i want to make a movie so painfully obvious in its satire that everyone who understands it lives in perpetual psychological torment inflicted on them by all the people who don't"

This is when you add a commander mode so someone can control the other side like an RTS game.
I thought everyone knew this when they released the first game almost a decade ago
So pretty much Ender’s Game but flavored like Starship Troopers.
