>What does "grunt fantasy" even mean?
From the mouth of Pileofshitd himself; https://youtu.be/CVItevGgOnE?t=17090
>"Helldivers 2 was originally envisioned as a co-op action shooter where you play as the evil guys in the galaxy -so your storm troopers or whatever it might be in pop culture- and how would you fare as one of the extras in the background? Like you know when they try to breach the cell block in star wars and the first stormtrooper through the door, he of course gets shot in the chest by Han Solo."
>"And that's the question, of would you do better climbing into that room trying to capture the bad guys, that are trying to take over your lovely death star.
>"Would you be able to survive in a galactic war without plot-armor to protect you is really the question that we ask with Helldivers.
>"and this then turned into our original vision for helldivers, which is that we wanted to do as realistic of a take on what it would be to be one of those squads of stormtroopers or starship troopers mobile infantry or whatever pop culture grunts that you can imagine."
What would realistically happen if you were one of those evil guy pop-culture grunts? You would die. Your not a main character with plot-armor. When Grunthead refers to their "vision," this is what they mean. What would realistically happen if you were a Helldiver and dived onto a bot/bug/squid planet? You would die. Pilestedt has said Helldivers have a life expectancy of 2 minutes. https://x.com/Pilestedt/status/1759551906668540153
This the grunt fantasy. You're just a faceless background extra grunt without plot-armor in a realistic galactic war against giant aliens and terminators.
