"Why is Helldivers 2 so special? I think, in part, because of how and why it makes us care about its narrative."
It's only through embracing oft-maligned ideas (no cinematics, always on-line, few cosmetics) that Helldivers 2 actually creates a framework for reactivity and community.

Hey everyone - back with another video. This time talking about 2024's surprise hit Helldivers 2 and digging into some thoughts about what I think this game does really well, and sets it apart from many of its peers.
It's not often I care about any kind of 'story' in these types of games, yet Helldivers 2, since its release, has my attention.
