What's the verdict on this game? It doesn't even look like it was released only a few months ago, people talked about it for 1 week and everyone quickly forgot about it.I didn't buy it because it looks exactly like the first game, which i hated. Prices are going down fast, it was released for $70 and you can get an used copy now for about $40.
Narratively an unnecessary retread of the first game, gameplaywise a mechanical improvement of the first game. Nothing really to talk about.
>>720796329It's Death Stranding 1.5, and they decided to make it a fucking cover shooter that apes MGSV haphazardly when you're not playing 40 hours of fetch quests.It has its moments though. ASHITA TENKI NI NAAAAAAAAARE.
PS5 exclusive, plz understand
>>720796481>>720796541Will people here say it's a masterpiece when they port it to PC and some of them have the ability to play it? >>720796610Case in point.
>>720796649Basically. This isn't even neo-/v/ anymore, it's slum-/v/, if a game isn't available for free don't expect much discussion. >>720796481>>720796541Agreed.
>>720796329The first game benefited massively from nobody having any idea what the fuck it was really going to be like, which of course didn't carry over at all to the basically identical sequel.It seemed like Kojima consciously tried to make up for this by making the writing a lot more off the wall, but that sort of thing is just expected from him now, so it didn't have nearly the same effect.
>>720796709>The first game benefited massively from nobody having any idea what the fuck it was really going to be like100% true. I was so hyped for it when it was announced, i really wanted to see a new Kojima IP. I wasn't expecting a new MGS, just a new game with that Kojombo je ne sais quois - i guess he delivered in that regard, despite me not liking it. I almost pre-ordered DS2, but i kept waiting for reviews, they held back the fucking reviews up until one week before launch. Then i saw people saying it was basically DS 1 with more gunplay and i passed on it.
>>720796649>ill people here say it's a masterpiece when they port it to PCProbably yeah
As said before, it's just improved Death Stranding.Taking into account how rare good games are becoming, I'd say that it's a good thing.>>720796541>cover shooterAre you just using terms you don't understand or did I miss something?
>>720798003You can pop out when in cover in 2 is what I guess he's referencing. It's something that's there, but you don't ever need it, the enemies in 2 are even more blind and deaf than they were in 1.
>>720796329>It doesn't even look like it was released only a few months ago, people talked about it for 1 week and everyone quickly forgot about it.the exact same happened with the first game, you won't see any discussion until its multiplat
>>720796329On the one hand it doesn't add a whole lot to the Death Stranding Universe but the gameplay and overall user experience is much better. If you genuinely liked traversing beautiful landscapes you'll like DS2 with all its added mechanics.
