Feels like most shooter games these days are super fast paced, COD style games with 0.5 second reload times and Olympic sprinter running speeds. What are some games that have weightier gameplay mechanics and don't make you feel like a superhuman?

I'd like to second what priapus said - Helldivers is actually making fun of the type of blind patriotism you find obnoxious. It's heavily inspired by Starship Troopers which is also a comedy movie making fun of that type of obnoxious patriotism. It's all very tongue in cheek, devs aren'y actually pushing the patriotism.

I'm with you guys... and I do see that. It's just obnoxious to me, nonetheless. 🤷‍♂️
