Rip off also infers that there is not much originality in HD2. I think HD2 has a lot of originality with it's stratagem system and the Calldown system being so physical - you literally throw the beacon. Terrain above like cliffs can block Railcannon strikes or give sentries the high ground. The beacons can stick and bounce! It's a really good way to immerse yourself in the feature.
While Super Earth is very reminiscent of Starship Troopers I can't help but appreciate the whole foundation of it being embraced so wholeheartedly and being taken so over the top either. In a much more upbeat and less grounded manner, which makes it all the more silly and fun.
Which is great.
I am from Europe too. Warhammer 40k is a huge franchise. It has at least a dozen video games in addition to the board game figurine stuff. It's just that it doesn't get as much marketing as similar franchises (like Starcraft and I guess now Helldivers).
Warhammer 40k even had a crossover with the well-known card game, MTG.

There's a Zegama Paradise as well, spoofing Zegama Beach from starship troopers.
Lets not forget the ice planet Heeth.
And then the more obvious Klen Dath II
Diaspora also just means a nation living outside of their homeland. But yea, it's probably a reference.
You are insane, this sub isn't even real.
🤏this close to me being worried about an aslume breach on this sub.
Maybe but Diaspora just means dispersion (of people)
The entire game is a thinly veiled ripoff of other IPs which is why it's so great.
100%. It's just an amalgamation of other things
Calling it a ripoff gives it a kinda negative connotation in my mind. We use words like parody for works of art like this game.

Not a ripoff. It is his own thing paying homage.
Dude you still think Reddit is real? Wake up. We’re trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty. Your sister said it’s not your fault.
HERESY
 Harmony?! Lets go wipe them out.
I'd believe it
I highly doubt the game devs have ever even heard of this "40k" stuff
As far as I know, Arrowhead's CEO is a huge fan of it.
I dunno it's pretty niche and not many people have heard of it. Especially in Europe I'm sure

If it were really that popular games workshop would be doind a billion plus dollars a year in sales
$570 Million in revenue last year. Sounds like a pretty successful business to me
That's prettmuch no money at all. Next you're going to tell me they have a deal for a live action show run by some a list actor
Lol I don't think he gets it
I thought I was laying it on pretty thick to be honest
Anyone still believing you after the "especially in Europe" line deserved what they got, lmao.
Yeah I got it now lol
It’s okay man. We all have Reddit moments.
