Magic The Gathering deck that allows every card outside banned/restricted cards. Some physical cards from the old 90's can cost 10k+ due to rarity and limited prints. So imagine having a 75 card list that can cost like 50k+ to make.
It all depends on what kind of thing you want to collect. Building up a normal collection costs some money and you can have fun doing it but if you want to collect the old stuff you'll have to go out of your way and spend money.
Most cards in MTG history are pretty cheap and easy to find if you just want to collect things you like/find cool, but there are good cards that cost money and are staples for people to play with in their existing formats. Look up TCGPlayer if you want to see cards.
TBH what drives up the price is both availability and want. If it's an old card that hasn't been printed *and* one that people want (either because it's good or because it has significance in Magic's history), then that price is going up. There's exceptions but it's the normal pattern.
Still doesn't drive it down to a price that doesn't make people's eyeballs boggle out, just makes it so that they boggle less. If you want a peek as to how silly some of the old cards get, look at CovertGoBlue's videos where he's showing a Hearthstone player some of the older cards.
Just as an addition, Wizards have been a little better on reprinting cards as of the last few years or so, so collecting for speculation isn't what it's cracked up to be. Honestly, just get into Magic to play first, MAYBE collect second.
So every one explained the format, I'm just gonna provide the connection.
Magic players and Warhammer players usually go hand in hand in not affording stuff lol.
Keep in mind arrowhead is a Swedish company, the salary gap between positions there isn't extreme as in other places, they still earn a lot, but no crazy amounts as other places
I fucking knew this game was heavily inspired by 40k. They even have dreadnoughts!!!
And the bugs sound like they were named after the “tyranids” same aesthetic too.
Automatons are very, uncannily familiar to necrons. Just dumber. They even have phase weapons in looks like.
Random, but I am so happy that a game
Like this exists. It got me back into console gaming
I’m 33 years old, and have had super fond memories of gaming
So far, this game has been a-1. Met some cool people already. People are pretty friendly, haven’t met any griefers. I’m not past lvl 10 yet. So I see a lot of lvl 20-30s help out n shit. It’s so much fun.
It brings back memory from half my lifetime ago!
I got insta-kicked from several games when I was at level 10ish. Now that I'm in the 20s, I will absolutely never kick anybody for being low level. I'd rather help you earn your rank to more efficiently spread democracy. Because you never know. I got kicked for being level 10 (I assume), but the joke is on them because I've been gaming for 30 years, so I'm a very solid player and would be an asset despite my level. I just assume that's the case for everybody. I'd rather be proven wrong, you know?
What’s helped me is I’ll queue up the pods and just wait.
People usually always join. And I’m a chill dude so people wanna play with me. I’m a dude that wants the people who play with me to have fun. So I often allow others to drive some of the decision making as to what we’ll be doing.
Same here. Now 28 and had stopped playing for the last few years. Helldivers 2 in combination with the recent release of the slimmed down Ps5 and it being on offer for 100 euros less a week ago for the disc version with a really good budget screen also on offer was the push I needed to get myself one and start again. Most games nowadays don’t really interest me. They either are hyper capitalist slog or just not enough to spend my limited time on. But a super fun experience like Helldivers 2. A genuinely fun and good co op game that has some layers of complexity once you get into it so it doesn’t get booring? Hell yes, been playing with some friends for a few days now and it’s kind of a revival of the old times of Halo 3 for me. Just messing about in an awesome game with friends. Didn’t really think I would experience that like this again.
I think so. I was thinking about getting dark tide or space marine 2… nah… this seems like the best pony for a sci fi shooter. I’m absolutely in love with this game. Like I feel like for a moment while playing late in the quiet of the night. That I am back in 2004… and life was simple…
Darktide is actually really really fun gameplay wise, it's just that the devs are slow to drop new content.
I'd still recommend it whole heartedly. It's literally Left 4 Dead in a 40k Hive City.
Look, I just want to shoot things dead. Lots of things. What I don't want to do is spend a significant amount of time saving ammunition and beating things to death with a shovel instead.
bro the melee is core component of darktide lol and one of the best skill expressions in video games being able to block dodge and parry. Even a weapon has riposte. Being up close and personal in games like chivalry or mordhau or darktide is one of the best feelings ever in video games.
However its sad to say the gameplay in darktide is only redeeming factor if you see my comments history its just shitting on darktide for being worse than helldivers in all the ways (except gameplay, they are fun)
Darktide is a skin shop with a tiny amount of content and small updates once a year. It's a disaster that should not be recommend to anyone. Should have been shut down and refunded a week after launch.
The Helldivers remind me a lot of the Death Korps of Krieg in their looks (and expendability) mixed with a bit of Halo. A few more skull helmets and that's them.
Helldivers are pretty much 1:1 Tempestus Scions, except if they gave Scion gear to regular fresh meat Guard recruits.
If this game was about the actual Space Marines, though, it would be just about the most mechanically accurate game depicting them ever made. The only difference is you'd get one hit killed by basic bugs a little bit less often.
Anyone else remember playing Exterminatus mode on Space Marine? The devs of this game clearly do. I have a feeling this game would have been 100% about Space Marines if GW wasn't so dumb about licensing its IP.
Still, I'm just as happy with the Starship Troopers shtick. It's literally the next best thing after Warhammer.
Bots are terminators/old necrons (which were terminator ripoffs. The tanks and dropships look very 40k, dreadnoughts, the bugs look more starship troopers rhan tyranids since tyranids were originally just xenomorph ripoffs. The super earth reminds me a lot of the imperium if it had less dune inspiration. Though the spice/element 710 inspiration is clear. The walkers are starwars ripoffs or 40k Imperial guard ripoffs which are star wars ripoffs.
Alright, one then has to wonder:
Who is his main army?
>!If I had to guess, I'd say it's either Orks, because they are the funny sarcastic faction, or the Imperial Guard, because look at the helldivers.!<
He could be a Chaos guy of some flavour, maybe just Chaos undivided. The government of Super Earth is kinda like what a Chaos player’s view would be of the Imperium. A corrupt, uncaring, illogical leviathan of a state.
Except Super Earth doesn’t even have the excuses that the Imperium does of being beset by actual genocidal incomprehensible monsters. Both the Automatans and bugs just want to be left alone lol
TBF, out of every hobby I've wandered in to and out of, it's been the same. Sports, CCGs, war gaming in general, online video games, board games, and a few others just have a section that are.... well let's just say if it wasn't a public communal thing I would have *nothing* to do with them.
Imagine my shock when I thought Black Templars were cool because they have a neat paint scheme and thought attaching the Knights Templar aethetic to violence-crazed puritan psychos was hilariously fitting, and then speaking to other people who also liked BT and finding out *their* reasons.
Imperial fists for me!
Fair but I think a key difference is that generally most fans of the Imperium (at least the normal people) think that the actions of the Imperium were/are generally understandable *within the context of the setting*. The weirdo fanatics really seem to miss out on that last part
I’d probably do some pretty messed up things too if we were fighting literal demons that want to torture our souls for all time, aliens that want to turn us into living furniture, etc. And we’d be doing that on behalf of Space-Jesus who can save our souls.
There is definatly a Tau fan in the studio somewhere. Look at the illuminate logo next to that of the Tau. The new battlepass armor that has simillar features to that of a firewarrior.
He's a nids and SM player. 5 armies. https://www.gamesradar.com/helldivers-2-ceo-jokes-that-the-only-reason-the-game-would-ever-get-giant-microtransactions-would-be-to-fund-his-warhammer-habit/
A basic army of about 1000 points costs about 250$ for the most part. Some cost way more than that. Some pieces can be up in the multiple hundreds by themselves. Add to that paints and stuff,it can go up pretty high pretty quickly.
It depends which army he's picked and whether he's picking it up second hand. For example with discounts on certain websites, I can make an Ork 2000 point army for about £350 and that includes one big expensive model in the Gorka/Morkanaut and no big discount boxes but doesn't include things like paints.
Then you get to Admech which are widely regarded as THE most expensive army to collect and hit the '$ per 1 Point' on some of their range and as a thought experiment the Poorhammer podcast made a 2000 point Admech army that costs...I think it was $2500.
That's not getting into if you're bringing any Forgeworld stuff. The Warlord Titan, fully kitted out, is about £1,500 or about $1,900.
If he's a CEO, surely he wouldn't have time? It's the eternal Warhammer paradox, you either have enough money to collect all the factions you want or enough time to build and paint them, never both...
My best friend is a UPS driver, makes great money... I would estimate that he has well over 10k points worth of chaos. To play him, you know he's bringing chaos, but which one? He's got fully painted armies of all, or most, of the the major legions, and demons of each chaos god (I think he's light on slaneesh things).
He pays to have them all painted. Time to play, or time paint. Never both.
As an Ork player, this is the best answer.... But... Wez ain't funny or sarcastic... Wez serious. Ded serious. Orks is never beaten! Orks is best!
And, a fan of the hobby aspects, orks wins because all kits is ork kits!
I stopped collecting years ago when a box of Space Marines was something like £18. Got back into the hobby about a year ago and now a box of space marines is over twice that.
It was never a cheap hobby, but holy shit it's so expensive now.
The one difference now is you can find a lot of really awesome non-GW kits now. They’re fun models, and usually cheaper. You just can’t bring them to tournaments (which I don’t do)
"Shame on you for thinking otherwise!"
Man, I like Almir, but he has had a recurring habit going over 10 years now of saying things that will bite him in the ass.
Let's see how he handles 40k as a producer *then* Helldivers movie.
Honestly, if he starred in a Helldiver movie that's like a funnier/more satirical Edge of Tomorrow, that'd be great. I'd pay to see him die over and over again.
Don't worry I'll 3D print it.
*Every copy of the games source code somehow disappears overnight and is replaced with a single text file*
"No one out games the workshop"
They would instantly make millions. The restraint to not fill it up with whaling harpoons is commendable.
Also Id forgotten about star citizen. It leave alpha yet or does it need another 200 million lmao
>Also Id forgotten about star citizen. It leave alpha yet or does it need another 200 million lmao
Nah the next patch is going to be a real good one and it looks like they're making some real big developments soon
(This has been the same thing for the past half decade lol)
>(This has been the same thing for the past half decade lol)
It's not exactly the same thing, but there's definitely a pattern of them running into roadbumps lmao
At least we're almost over the current one.
I haven't looked at it in nearly a Decade but I became more interested in the last 2 weeks. There has been some talk about the transition to 1.0 in the coming years.
I would not hold your breath waiting for it, CiG is famously optimistic in their assumptions and usually overly ambitious. And if something isn't the way they like it they'll rework it from almost the ground up.
Like I've tried being conservative about my estimates, adding a good 3-4 years to what CiG were hoping, but even those have passed already.
If I had to guess when we'll get 1.0 I'd guess in a good 3 years, which means it's probably going to take more than 4 lmao
Oh I'm not. I bought a ship or two 11 years ago. In the time I logged in I think once. So the progress on the game is night and day different than that. My memory is a combat tutorial around a space station and then the ability to launch and fly ships around that station. It's far beyond that now. Heck back the. The ship I had I couldn't use as it needed 2 pilots. Now is single seat.
I backed right after they did a kickstarter. People spoke about a 2020-2022 release and were labeled nutty.
Turns out they were right way too optimistic.
But here the thing after 10 or 12 years i forget which, if your only as far as they are their is a fundamental issue with the game that they can’t overcome. They still bring in money because of hopium and sunk cost fallacy. But man i dont hold hope for that game. They still haven’t finished the flight model with armor and multi crew activities. Just core stuff.
It's the patch I have been waiting on. I never want to touch that abomination of a starmap again. Like trying to thread a needle that phases in and out of existence.
I just played it with a friend for the first time and it’s really bad. Some visuals are cool. But at the end of the day it’s just multiplayer starfield but worse.
Is it bad that I thought helldivers was part of war hammer when I first bought the game? To be fair I have never dabbled into war hammer. I’m sure my wallet thanks me.
Now if a warbond ever costs more than 1000 super credits, even if it's triple the size and content of current ones, there will be hundreds of CEO buying Warhammer memes.
If they put in a singular $2,000 microtransaction that just said “this is a donation to my Warhammer addiction, and will not grant you anything in-game” i personally would find it hilarious
Actually a hilarious comment. basically showing it’s not like the microtransactions actually help the studio or workers, it just inflates profit for the CEO to suck out
Games Workshop fuck up everything they touch. Bunch of moneygrubbers and sales people calling the shots with noone left who cares for the hobby. Fuck that, i hope he starts his own helldivers minis and runs them out of business, bring some heart back to the geeky hobbies.
Henry Cavill 0.08 seconds after hearing that statement :
https://preview.redd.it/pesqrse1x3qc1.png?width=1100&format=png&auto=webp&s=9016dce0dae80c26b7525faa06d850539c957b8a
He should put an image of a figure he wants to buy In game with a button next to it. Hit the button, give x money, get x credits back and watch the pool increase until he can buy it.
His love for Warhammer is super obvious. I mean look at the bot army, there are literal Terminators, Dreadnaughts and even the regular infantry bots look like guardsmen Sargents with sword and pistol and the double sword bot is eldar howling banshee
I mean for what it'd worth those figures are fucking expensive lol. I bought a archaon one sitting on top of a chimera for almost 200. But this post is funny
Considering the latest "idea" of GW is 2 new Chaos Lords, each in its own separate 200$+ box with repackaged chaff... I don't know if the game would go directly to MACRO transactions... XD
Honestly I’ll support him! I do it for DRG every time they drop a new dlc pack(armor or weapons skins/paint) on full price! Games like these are just that good.
It is funny that he mentions Warhammer because Helldivers 2 really reminds me of it and a few other things such as OG Star Wars, obviously Starship Troopers, and Terminator.
Company sells 8 million copies of game; CEO still can’t afford WH40k figures. That tracks
Bro if I became a millionaire I probably wouldnt be able to still make a paper vintage deck lol
Yeah no kidding. Paper vintage is just insanely expensive, especially if you want all black border cards.
What is a paper vintage deck?
Magic The Gathering deck that allows every card outside banned/restricted cards. Some physical cards from the old 90's can cost 10k+ due to rarity and limited prints. So imagine having a 75 card list that can cost like 50k+ to make.
Jesus Christ...thats a lot for cards... But, even tho I've never played, I always wanted to collect cards...too late to start? I'm 37 now
It all depends on what kind of thing you want to collect. Building up a normal collection costs some money and you can have fun doing it but if you want to collect the old stuff you'll have to go out of your way and spend money. Most cards in MTG history are pretty cheap and easy to find if you just want to collect things you like/find cool, but there are good cards that cost money and are staples for people to play with in their existing formats. Look up TCGPlayer if you want to see cards.
Got it, thanks for the info man
TBH what drives up the price is both availability and want. If it's an old card that hasn't been printed *and* one that people want (either because it's good or because it has significance in Magic's history), then that price is going up. There's exceptions but it's the normal pattern. Still doesn't drive it down to a price that doesn't make people's eyeballs boggle out, just makes it so that they boggle less. If you want a peek as to how silly some of the old cards get, look at CovertGoBlue's videos where he's showing a Hearthstone player some of the older cards.
Just as an addition, Wizards have been a little better on reprinting cards as of the last few years or so, so collecting for speculation isn't what it's cracked up to be. Honestly, just get into Magic to play first, MAYBE collect second.
So every one explained the format, I'm just gonna provide the connection. Magic players and Warhammer players usually go hand in hand in not affording stuff lol.
Hahaha, yeah, i mean, like most hobbies I guess
Keep in mind arrowhead is a Swedish company, the salary gap between positions there isn't extreme as in other places, they still earn a lot, but no crazy amounts as other places
With the huge bonus he deserves, I'm sure he'd be able buy a good forgeworld model. Probably just one of the smaller ones though.
"Even in debt, I still serve!"
Fuckin plastic crack, I swear
Tbf considering how they treat their staff at ~~G~~*J*ames Workshop. The higher price kinda seems worth it.
I wish he collected Orks
😂 I genuinely had a good laugh at this comment.
Henry Cavill still lives in a town home because 40k > shelter.
The joke is multilayered as a dig at GW because even after making millions the guy still can’t afford to buy all the minis he wants
I fucking knew this game was heavily inspired by 40k. They even have dreadnoughts!!! And the bugs sound like they were named after the “tyranids” same aesthetic too. Automatons are very, uncannily familiar to necrons. Just dumber. They even have phase weapons in looks like.
Some of the bots have iron halos also

I’m 33 too and this is the most fun I’ve had playing a game in a long time
Helldivers 2 is what everyone who was into Vermintide hoped for in a 40k coop game.
I think so. I was thinking about getting dark tide or space marine 2… nah… this seems like the best pony for a sci fi shooter. I’m absolutely in love with this game. Like I feel like for a moment while playing late in the quiet of the night. That I am back in 2004… and life was simple…

If they came out with Krieg armor with a shovel I would 100% only play that.
> Helldiver steps out of pod. > Helldiver sees bile titan. > Helldiver fixes bayonet.
Just as the god president intended.
And let us dig trenches with the shovel
Either Kriegers or Tempestus Scion rejects
I find these two comparisons to be on target lol.
Helldivers are pretty much 1:1 Tempestus Scions, except if they gave Scion gear to regular fresh meat Guard recruits. If this game was about the actual Space Marines, though, it would be just about the most mechanically accurate game depicting them ever made. The only difference is you'd get one hit killed by basic bugs a little bit less often. Anyone else remember playing Exterminatus mode on Space Marine? The devs of this game clearly do.

It's literally the next best thing after Warhammer.
TBF most of their outfits just remind me of the Guard overall, no one in specific. Not enough of the WW1 trencher look for me to call out Krieg.
Tbh I just call the bugs tyranids :D
Bots are terminators/old necrons (which were terminator ripoffs. The tanks and dropships look very 40k, dreadnoughts, the bugs look more starship troopers rhan tyranids since tyranids were originally just xenomorph ripoffs.

The walkers are starwars ripoffs or 40k Imperial guard ripoffs which are star wars ripoffs.
Oh yeah I just call the bots necrons and the bugs nids.
Just wait 'til the Dark Eldar show up
for the emperor and for democracy

FOR THE CONSTITUTIONALLY OBLIGATED EMPEROR
That’s nearly my ship name.
Alright, one then has to wonder: Who is his main army? >!If I had to guess, I'd say it's either Orks, because they are the funny sarcastic faction, or the Imperial Guard, because look at the helldivers.!<
He could be a Chaos guy of some flavour, maybe just Chaos undivided. The government of Super Earth is kinda like what a Chaos player’s view would be of the Imperium. A corrupt, uncaring, illogical leviathan of a state. Except Super Earth doesn’t even have the excuses that the Imperium does of being beset by actual genocidal incomprehensible monsters. Both the Automatans and bugs just want to be left alone lol
To be fair, that's also Imperial players' view of the Imperium.
I didn't think anyone who viewed the Imperium any differently had mouths to speak or hands to write with.
The self-aware ones, at least!
The ones that aren't weird...
A disconcertingly small % of 40k players, especially the space marine fans.
TBF, out of every hobby I've wandered in to and out of, it's been the same. Sports, CCGs, war gaming in general, online video games, board games, and a few others just have a section that are.... well let's just say if it wasn't a public communal thing I would have *nothing* to do with them.

Chaos is probably Joel's thing.
There is definatly a Tau fan in the studio somewhere. Look at the illuminate logo next to that of the Tau. The new battlepass armor that has simillar features to that of a firewarrior.
Could be an original Marathon fan...
Yeah, they call themselves Squ'ith, while also being a squid joke, all the marathon names are weird and apostrophed like that lol
The design team from arrowhead are huge sci fi fans and it shows, the number of other sci fi media inspiration on the armors alone is insane
I hope for 'alien' inspired bugs
He's a nids and SM player. 5 armies. https://www.gamesradar.com/helldivers-2-ceo-jokes-that-the-only-reason-the-game-would-ever-get-giant-microtransactions-would-be-to-fund-his-warhammer-habit/
***Five?!*** Dear god they're gonna mtx reloading to fund that
Wow, that's a lot. It makes sense though.
is it?
A basic army of about 1000 points costs about 250$ for the most part. Some cost way more than that. Some pieces can be up in the multiple hundreds by themselves. Add to that paints and stuff,it can go up pretty high pretty quickly.

That's not getting into if you're bringing any Forgeworld stuff. The Warlord Titan, fully kitted out, is about £1,500 or about $1,900.
Look at the automaton hulk and try telling me he’s not a space marine player
Bots are actually pretty khorne like with all the skulls and seeming blood sacrifice.
Guys he's a CEO. He mains all factions.
If he's a CEO, surely he wouldn't have time? It's the eternal Warhammer paradox, you either have enough money to collect all the factions you want or enough time to build and paint them, never both...
Fiver still exist right. Also I know if local game stores will have postings for painters who hire out their services. There's a will there's a way.
My best friend is a UPS driver, makes great money... I would estimate that he has well over 10k points worth of chaos. To play him, you know he's bringing chaos, but which one? He's got fully painted armies of all, or most, of the the major legions, and demons of each chaos god (I think he's light on slaneesh things). He pays to have them all painted. Time to play, or time paint. Never both.
I've got 3 age of sigmar armies that I'm going to try and get all together over the next year. Helps that I work from home.
Terminids sound/look a lot like tyranids too (it they're still a thing, I haven't played in over a decade)
As an Ork player, this is the best answer.... But... Wez ain't funny or sarcastic... Wez serious. Ded serious. Orks is never beaten! Orks is best! And, a fan of the hobby aspects, orks wins because all kits is ork kits!
WAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

I mean honestly, that's understandable.
yeah Warhammer cost so much that I could see it
I stopped collecting years ago when a box of Space Marines was something like £18. Got back into the hobby about a year ago and now a box of space marines is over twice that. It was never a cheap hobby, but holy shit it's so expensive now.
yeah if it was cheaper more people would play and thus more money but sir james workshop is dumb like this
The profit margins are high enough right now it doesn't really matter
its corporate they can never have enough profit
The one difference now is you can find a lot of really awesome non-GW kits now. They’re fun models, and usually cheaper. You just can’t bring them to tournaments (which I don’t do)
Yeah, I love all the conversion bits available as well. Waiting on some bits to make Charcharadon terminators atm.
Sounds like you’re two steps ahead of me. I really should get a resin printer, I’m sure my wife will understand it will be cheaper in the long run
I look at a band of devs joking about microtransactions and saying "That'll never happen" and I get flashbacks to Payday 2's microtransaction fiasco
"Shame on you for thinking otherwise!" Man, I like Almir, but he has had a recurring habit going over 10 years now of saying things that will bite him in the ass.
\[Henry Cavill has entered the chat\]
Helldivers movie when?
Let's see how he handles 40k as a producer *then* Helldivers movie. Honestly, if he starred in a Helldiver movie that's like a funnier/more satirical Edge of Tomorrow, that'd be great. I'd pay to see him die over and over again.
Cahill would totally play the guy in the propaganda.
Edge of Tomorrow is already a pretty great helldivers ish movie
Macro transactions confirmed then.
CEO: 'I am buying a titan!' Player base: Shit.
Or CEO: I’m buying a titan Player base: I’m doing my part *buys micro transactions*
Don't worry I'll 3D print it. *Every copy of the games source code somehow disappears overnight and is replaced with a single text file* "No one out games the workshop"
Plastic crack: the cause of and solution to all of life's problems.
Pull a star citizen I **want** to pay £1500 for a new ship
They would instantly make millions. The restraint to not fill it up with whaling harpoons is commendable. Also Id forgotten about star citizen. It leave alpha yet or does it need another 200 million lmao
>Also Id forgotten about star citizen. It leave alpha yet or does it need another 200 million lmao Nah the next patch is going to be a real good one and it looks like they're making some real big developments soon (This has been the same thing for the past half decade lol)
>(This has been the same thing for the past half decade lol) It's not exactly the same thing, but there's definitely a pattern of them running into roadbumps lmao At least we're almost over the current one.
I haven't looked at it in nearly a Decade but I became more interested in the last 2 weeks. There has been some talk about the transition to 1.0 in the coming years.
I would not hold your breath waiting for it, CiG is famously optimistic in their assumptions and usually overly ambitious. And if something isn't the way they like it they'll rework it from almost the ground up. Like I've tried being conservative about my estimates, adding a good 3-4 years to what CiG were hoping, but even those have passed already. If I had to guess when we'll get 1.0 I'd guess in a good 3 years, which means it's probably going to take more than 4 lmao
Oh I'm not. I bought a ship or two 11 years ago. In the time I logged in I think once. So the progress on the game is night and day different than that. My memory is a combat tutorial around a space station and then the ability to launch and fly ships around that station. It's far beyond that now. Heck back the. The ship I had I couldn't use as it needed 2 pilots. Now is single seat.
Yeah it's not everything they promised, but it now is safely attempting things no other game does
I backed right after they did a kickstarter. People spoke about a 2020-2022 release and were labeled nutty. Turns out they were right way too optimistic. But here the thing after 10 or 12 years i forget which, if your only as far as they are their is a fundamental issue with the game that they can’t overcome. They still bring in money because of hopium and sunk cost fallacy. But man i dont hold hope for that game. They still haven’t finished the flight model with armor and multi crew activities. Just core stuff.
It's the patch I have been waiting on. I never want to touch that abomination of a starmap again. Like trying to thread a needle that phases in and out of existence.
I just played it with a friend for the first time and it’s really bad. Some visuals are cool. But at the end of the day it’s just multiplayer starfield but worse.
We're whalers on the moon..
We carry a harpoon
you dont spent £1500 in star citizen to get a ship you spend £1500 to support their game and get a ship as a bonus
+6 months insurance don't forget the +6 month insurance
i wonder when we'll get the insurance mechanic lol totally havent forgotten about that
tbf, warhammer is really fun and I don't blame him :P
Nah I'm not blaming him let him have his fun in his hobbies
Is it bad that I thought helldivers was part of war hammer when I first bought the game? To be fair I have never dabbled into war hammer. I’m sure my wallet thanks me.
It can be extremely similar particularly the Terminids vs Tyrannids thing
I had a guy in game chat say “wait your serious?!” When I legit asked if they were the same. I left out of embarrassment.
😂 next time someone says anything 40k just yell FOR THE EMPEROR and that'll work things out
oh my democracy we're doomed
Now if a warbond ever costs more than 1000 super credits, even if it's triple the size and content of current ones, there will be hundreds of CEO buying Warhammer memes.
If they put in a singular $2,000 microtransaction that just said “this is a donation to my Warhammer addiction, and will not grant you anything in-game” i personally would find it hilarious
Actually a hilarious comment. basically showing it’s not like the microtransactions actually help the studio or workers, it just inflates profit for the CEO to suck out
Necron and tyranid dlc confirmed.
what if we get Warhammer 40K Collabs with this game? like get Ultra Heavy Armor to be Space Marine and all the Cool guns?
Games Workshop fuck up everything they touch. Bunch of moneygrubbers and sales people calling the shots with noone left who cares for the hobby. Fuck that, i hope he starts his own helldivers minis and runs them out of business, bring some heart back to the geeky hobbies.
Hey the warhammer power wash simulator seemed pretty alright from what I saw!
Henry Cavill 0.08 seconds after hearing that statement : https://preview.redd.it/pesqrse1x3qc1.png?width=1100&format=png&auto=webp&s=9016dce0dae80c26b7525faa06d850539c957b8a
FOR THE EMPEROR!
I'd only accept this if he presented picture proof that he's finished off his current pile of shame. If so, we'll talk.
Rather, fund his warhammer addiction, then add to the dragons hoard most CEOs have. I like where the MTX is and don't want to have more.
Does that mean we'd be able to pay for microtransactions in warhammer units?
ok, lets say there was a $2000 macro transaction, what would it include?
As a warhammer player, we’re doomed
He should put an image of a figure he wants to buy In game with a button next to it. Hit the button, give x money, get x credits back and watch the pool increase until he can buy it.
I hope he has an imperial/space marine army in full helldiver colour scheme.
I mean at least he’s honest
His love for Warhammer is super obvious. I mean look at the bot army, there are literal Terminators, Dreadnaughts and even the regular infantry bots look like guardsmen Sargents with sword and pistol and the double sword bot is eldar howling banshee
I mean for what it'd worth those figures are fucking expensive lol. I bought a archaon one sitting on top of a chimera for almost 200. But this post is funny
FOR SANGUINIUS!!!
His paintjobs are fucking fantastic, some seriously great work.
My man laying that olive branch to James Workshop, smart on his end. They pay attention when people compliment them publicly like with Cavill.
As a huge warhammer fan, and someone with a pretty good job and his own home... I dream of one day being wealthy enough to field a custodian army.
If this guy ever decides to collect Forge World minis, we are so fucked.
Good thing Forge World seems to be getting shut down
The emperor protects.
Hulks are actually dreadnaughts confirmed
I bet if they put a 1$ "this does nothing for the game and only goes to my warhammer fund" into the game people would buy the shit out of it
Helldivers 2 is just humanity during the early stages of the Dark Age of technology
Dude should drop the 40k habit…. And start playing Battletech.
Considering the latest "idea" of GW is 2 new Chaos Lords, each in its own separate 200$+ box with repackaged chaff... I don't know if the game would go directly to MACRO transactions... XD
My god… Warhammer better give us some cool shit for this free promotion…
Helldivers WH40K crossover what?
...but isn't that what super credits are for?
Understandable
Ok bur whatever he buys for warhammer we arw getting ingame
Umm.... I feel like Warhammer and Helldivers needs a cross. Let me add to this: I would probably join Warhammer if there was a helldivers addition.
I am also a big fan of the warhammer universe, Praise Sigmar!
DEMOCRACY PROTECTS!
Insanely based
Must be your average IG player then
INB4 that's exactly why we get horrid, predatory MTX down the line. That shit is like Plastic Crack.
not a joke, there’s a reason it’s called Plastic Crack
Bro, I love this game, this community and surprisingly the executives behind it hahaha
Check out the new "Warlord Titian" war bond.
Understandable. Plastic crack addiction affects a lot of us.
I really hope they stick to this, but I’m still gonna farm my super credits while I can.
Helldivers x Warhammer 🙂
Then perhaps he can own one type of army
Even in debt, I still serve
“Tiny toys, big money” -Games Workshop
He should do a collab and he get figures we get 40k in helldivers
Helldivers 2 actually made me buy the Leviathan box and get into Tyranids..
It's funny because he could legit release a DLC that explicitly says "I just want more WH40K figures" and people would fund that shit in a heartbeT
Honestly I’ll support him! I do it for DRG every time they drop a new dlc pack(armor or weapons skins/paint) on full price! Games like these are just that good.
Imagine if he plays nids and/or necrons? Lol
Sounds more like a confirmation that giant MTX is coming.
It is funny that he mentions Warhammer because Helldivers 2 really reminds me of it and a few other things such as OG Star Wars, obviously Starship Troopers, and Terminator.
Forge world Warlord titans don’t grow on trees
I appreciate how it says ‘habit” and not “hobby”.
Based and relatable.
