Helldivers 2 is an online multiplayer game developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 5 and PC platforms. The gaming community was enamored by the game’s theme of intergalactic warfare and fighting for the freedom of the people of Super Earth.

The gaming community loved the attention to detail and how each planet is unique and stands out, however, some eagle-eyed players have noticed something wrong that broke the illusion. Perhaps the level of gravity on each planet is something the developers should have worked on to protect the player’s experience and immersion.

The Developers Are Not Too Slick With the Details in Each Helldivers 2 Planet

Arrowhead Game Studios has struck gold with this new project that incorporated concepts of the live service structure and appealed to multiple users of different platforms. The gaming community is too observant for their good and noticed that their efforts were rendered useless after the supply lines of the Automatons were somehow reconnected in Helldivers 2.

Players are beginning to suspect that the omnipotent and all-seeing Game Master is playing both sides to extend the Second Galactic War. The game developers need to maintain the illusion of the game despite having worked on many impressive details like the visuals and intractability of the game, however, they failed to polish the gravity of each planet.

I just realized one major inconsistency with Helldivers 2…All of the planets have the same gravity!

The game will allow players to visit certain planets, and not every rock is meant to share the same level of gravity. This small detail may easily fly over the heads of casual players but some will notice and make a big deal out of it.

Some players are also beginning to notice inconsistencies in the celestial skies and pondering the possibility of the universe being fake. Conspiracy theorists claim that these missions are nothing more than simulations and efforts made by the government to keep the citizens of Super Earth compliant.

Perhaps there are some errors in the coding department and a failure to diversify the level of gravity on individual planets. Arrowhead Game Studios has been through a patch lately and not everything is up to standard. Gravity was an area that reflected the internal problems the developers had to face.

Helldivers 2 Players Are Right to Call Out the Developers and Share Their Observations

This could all be easily resolved after a series of patches and updates, then again, it shouldn’t have been a problem in the first place. The inconsistency of gravity may not be game-breaking, however, it can ruin the player’s immersion and overall experience.

Perhaps Arrowhead Game Studios will address this issue in a later patch and give the gaming community a definitive experience. Despite the lack of attention on the gravity department, it should not shroud or cover up the previous achievements of the developers.

The gaming community is doing its part to keep the game afloat by reporting what they see and should be applauded. The developers should be grateful that they have developed a strong foundation with the community and use it to their advantage for the game’s benefit.

The developers must deliver an accurate gravity system. Otherwise, every planet will feel the same.
