I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
The terms “ongoing story” and “living, breathing world” have been fixtures when talking about dynamic video games, or more recently live services, for years now. ButThe GM-run galactic war that players participate in every week is extremely unpredictable. No one knows exactly when new Major Orders will come in, what they will be asking players to do, and what will happen if players succeed or fail with their tasks.
As a result of that failure, a new dispatch was issued to players. One that bans sex. Or at the very least, procreation. What? Yeah, well, here it is: MAJOR ORDER FAILED – Though many Terminids have been mercifully culled, the Helldivers were unable to penetrate as far inside the Quarantine Zone as ordered. The expansion of our citizens to new planets will be reduced in line with the reduction of expected Element 710 to be produced. Further procreation applications will be denied until further notice.So, the in-universe lore says that you cannot have any more kids because the Helldivers messed up.
As for this week, players are being tasked with taking and holding four different planets in the same two regions as last time until the order expires in three days. Scientists are processing “inert Terminids” on world’s we have already conquered, and my guess is that perhaps they will not stay so inert for long, just like the flying Terminids that are now swarming everywhere coincidentally after we just released a bunch of bug spray in the area. Stay tuned for whatever craziness happens next.
