fun game but the only complaint is the fact that the game has recently been very unoptimized

A few hours before the time I'm writing this, the region-lock that was enforced on Helldivers 2 was lifted for over 100 countries. That was probably my last remaining gripe with the game.
The power fantasy of having an entire military arsenal in your pocket is an itch that not many other games scratch for me, but Helldivers 2 definitely does. The last two major updates (Omens of Tyranny and Heart of Democracy) are some of the most fun I've had in a game... ever. It has it's issues but there's SO many things that this game does right in my opinion. I am very excited for what the future of this game holds.

A friend sent me this game, heres roughly how that conversation went.
"MARCELINE THEY'RE ALMOST TO SUPER EARTH WE NEED TO ACTIVATE THE VOLKSSTURM"
Proceeds to throw the game at me.
I've only fought the illuminate, Pilen V was my first deployment.
Then New Haven. Super Earth. Eagleopolis. Rememberence. Administration Center 2. Prosperity City. Equality on the sea. May god have Mercy upon my wretched soul.
I shall have my place on the wall of martyrs. Amongst those who have given their lives to serve managed democracy. I will be the ultimate tool of freedom, and serve my nation well. My equipment perhaps is antiquated, my armor inadequate, but the patriotism and freedom burns within me. I will destroy the illuminate with no regard for my life or thoughts.
SUPER EARTH LIBERATION EDIT:
We did it guys. We kicked the illuminate back throught their wretched hole. I'd like to congratulate every Helldiver on a successful campaign fought as for me:
I've dusted myself off and I'm now fighting on the bot front with a veteran of the creek. After the successful defense of Super Earth, neumarous medals and 5,593 illuminate killed, I am war weary. We won the defense of the capital but the war is not over.
I miss the urban sprawl of Super Earth. The rocky sparse jungles of New Haven and the dusty expanse of Pilen V are distant memories. Super Earth was the anvil I was forged upon, now that it's over; this weapon of war, this soldier whom was supposed to die in that final stand, when the stims ran low and the ammunition ran out, lived. And now war without buildings crumbling on top of me overhead, civilians running through my fire lines, SEAF troops fighting along side us, the heroic acts of my friends and of the troops on the ground, feels wrong.
If we ever get to the illuminate home world, that den of tyrannical thought and anti democratic militarization, I will be there, doing sweeps with a flamethrower through the cramped alley ways and inbetween buildings, for the sake of defending our democracy and way of life. I will see you there hell divers.

Played my first game with a friend. Accidently joined a team of rando's, had no idea what was going on. Incredibly, I screamed, cried and ragdolled my way to the pickup zone with their help and through the good grace of Democracy. When the airship came down for pickup, it killed me instantly. Clear as a bell a voice rang out "Oh no, you got squashed." Realised my mic was on the whole time. 10/10

I was just a simple citizen, living peacefully under the watchful eye of Managed Democracy...
Then my husband crash-landed a Hellpod into my life.
One minute I’m a civilian with a laundry routine, the next I’m hip-firing an MG-43 while my husband yells “INCOMING” and calls down a nuclear pancake on the front lines.
Now I’ve almost got 300 hours clocked, a twitch in my trigger finger, and recurring dreams where the fridge beeps and I instinctively yell “STRATAGEM INCOMING!”
This isn’t just a game—it’s joint orbital therapy.
It’s date nights fueled by democracy, romantic strolls through bug carcasses, and a healthy fear of friendly fire.
I came for love.
I stayed for the freedom.
★★★★★
For Super Earth. For Managed Democracy.
