Why doesn't anyone talk about Death Stranding 2 anymore? It seems like after one month into its release, most discussions had just dissipated.

The original game, whether you loved it or hated it, had a cultural impact in the gaming zeitgeist. It was discussed for years.

Ds1 was a fresh new thing kojima made after getting fired from konami. Nowadays no one gives a fuck about death stranding or kojima.

I enjoyed Death Stranding 1, but honestly, it's essentially just a cinematic meme.
The gameplay is pretty lackluster—it's basically a delivery man simulator. The focus is entirely on bizarre storytelling.
The sequel amplifies the cinematic elements, but it's lost the surprise factor of the first game.
For example, Prototype 1 was a fantastic game, while Prototype 2 was utterly mediocre.

Everyone is waiting for the PC release
You can tell the way people talk about it here no one even touched it yet, completely clueless opinions

Exactly. The first game had the "wtf is this?" intrigue going for it. It felt like something totally out of left field - a mix of genius and madness. With DS2, we've already kinda seen the playbook. It's more polished, yeah, but that doesn't hit the same as being blindsided by Kojima's insanity. Kinda like how MGS2 blew minds because of the Raiden switch, but MGS4 was just fanservice. Innovation becomes familiarity real quick.

Death Stranding 2 was more the same with nothing really standing out. It did improve the gameplay from the first game. What's left to discuss about the game? the vtuber cameo that wasn't necessary? the die hardman dance scene? The pizza kung fu fight scene?

wait until pc release

Because it was a retread of DS1. Almost felt like a DLC expansion. Replacing Lou with Dollman was a bad move and removed the parts where Sam talks to himself or Lou in the quiet moments. Retard who's trapped himself into a Doll just sucks by comparison.

>prototype 2
great pull, it's like the ultimate example of slightly bizarre game getting the most generic sequel, hadn't thought about that game since it came out damn. It felt like that era had a lot of edgy games for edgy's sake with some weird revival of the 90s edge stuff and it gave us alot of weird edgy action games like dark sector
