>make a game about fatherhood and loss>childless zoomers and millennials all get filtered by it
>>728372175Does Kojima have children?
>>728372175nobody owns a ps5 retard
>make a ps5 exclusive when the only extremely successful ps5 exclusives are john shlomo bundle sellers
>>728372260>Does Kojima have children?Yeah but he doesn't spend any time with them for some reason. Doesn't even take them with him when he goes overseas etc
>>728372175>make a game about fatherhood and lossso for fags? lmao fuck that shit
>>728372593he’s just japanese
Wtf is Kojima trying to do with Death Stranding?Haven't played the games so I genuinely have no clue. They didn't interest me but still curious.
>>728372593That sounds extremely Japanese. Japanese people are not a normal people.
>>728372593His two sons are adults now.
>>728372645>>728372736Is it their culture to not raise their children or something? Isn’t that nog behavior
>>728372736>Japanese people are not a normal people.And, what measure are you using when declaring someone a "normal person?"A measure of majority? Majority of people are either black, Chinese or Indian. By definition, a normal person has no empathy, doesn't care about their community, has no interest in the future of their land their people.Just because you were raised in a very tiny minority doesn't make you normal.
>>728372593Making kids is just obligation for them. The ghibli guy was the same, they hate their children
>>728372974the difference is that the dad is always “working”(smoking cigarettes with the bros at work)they call dads “our sunday friend” because that’s the only day he’s around they all basically have the shinji/gendo ikari relationship
>>728372593>>728372736Perfect for NTR
>>728372652he's trying to make money, it's his job retard
>>728373153Interesting. Sounds kinda depressing, but I suppose if he’s still supporting the family it’s not bad
>>728372736I guess goku dude was an anomaly
>>728372593
>>728372175But the game is not out yet, I cannot find it on steam. How do you know all of this?
>>728372652>Wtf is Kojima trying to do with Death Stranding?trying to combine vidya with movies and it's NOT working out
>>728373495Well, I do live in a very conservative society and a lot of closeted gay people had wives and kids.Only recently public opinion is more lax and there were some divorces of older guys who finally felt comfortable to be openly gay.So neglect and low interactions can be an indicator of that, not just "japanese salaryman is weird and workaholic lmaaao"
>>728372175has Kojima ever been married or had children...?
>>728372175It's going to be recognized in 10 years, just like GTA IV. Gen Alpha are going to flip their shit when they finally get ahold of these games in their early to mid 20's
>>728373854my gen alpha kids already think it’s cool they love doll man lol
>>728373854By then strand-type games will be the industry standard like soulslikes are today. The fate of avant-garde auteurs is posthumous recognition of their genius.
>>728373439Meawhile the character he made>never kissed his wife>left his first kid with a green alien for months>said alien was his kid's father figure for most of his childhood
>>728372175First game was incoherent rambling trash from a privileged madman whose best days are long behind him as a Director. Why the fucking hell would i play the sequel to a game i did not like to begin with?
When's the PC version?
>>728372175Game?
>>728374262story and gameplay are way better than first one
>>728372175because he basically just made the same fucking game againI enjoyed my time with DS1 but I wouldn't replay it, and I sure as hell wouldn't play a whole new map of the same shit
>>728374480in this case everyone got filtered by psp controls
>>728374480I did a lot of grind in this fucking game and don't think I got all of the best schematics.Good times, man.
>>728372593he made peace walker because his son was obsessed with monster hunter
>dude it’s just DS1 again>the game has a completely different tone, pacing, cutscene direction, gameplay loop, added tools, mechanics, structures etc.It’s literally Death Stranding 2.0, that’s the point of a sequel. First game didn’t even have a day and night cycle for gods sake.
God of War succeeded where DS didnt because DS doesnt pander to retarded americans who have their weaknesses coddled by people with the same weaknesses. Anything esoteric throws the american chimp into a frenzy of calling something terrible because it reqhires a level of abstracted thinking that allows things to have meaning inherently while also being fuckin stupid visually and thematically. God of War has very little complex meaning but portrays itself as super serious and deep so that audience just inhales and goes "yeah"Kojima is an autist and farts so much the premise is a rabbit hole where every concept introduced is more non sequitur than the last so it filters people who need a strict power fantasy to have fun
>>728373439>wearing COVID masks>1987How did Toriyama know so far in advance?
pc version when?glad this game didn't win anything at vga, maybe kojima will learn to put his games on the most important platform (pc)
>>728372175Shame it didn't win for art direction. So many breathtaking views and a lot of incredible visual symbolism in the design and presentation. Also just on a technical level (which is part of the criteria) it's a masterpiece. Everyone who worked on it should be proud.
>>728375754The game got robbed so hard. I completely shared the reaction with Woodkid.
How many children did Kojima had again?
>>728372175The game is about 3 women who are special and has nothing to do with men at all.Kojima is a faggot who wants to be a part of the occult
>>728372175It's not our fault kojimer made a game about fatherhood and loss for a market that largely hasn't experienced those things and cannot relate.
Not even nominated for his performancehttps://youtu.be/gTfGSSSkhOs
>>728376108what was his problem anyway
>>728373737lol kill yourself you liar
https://youtu.be/ZGoLl88YA7U
>make a brand new sci fi universe full od mysteries and intrigue >make experimental divisive mechanics for things as simple as walking and picking up items >make an intricate plotline with tons of jargon and unique scenarios >make a game for the most popular platform by far>take all of this and streamline it, removing all the appeal, and then release it on a platform that has been completely abandoned by everyone except fifa and fortnite players
>>728372175its a fucking retarded game trying to approach fatherhood and loss in the most stupid way ever, Kojima clearly doesnt know how to write anything deep and if you think a giant baby eating the villain or the Hardonman killing the president with a cringy dance has something to do with fatherhood and loss then you are just as stupid as kojima
>>728374326
>>728372175I can't even imagine how good Physint will be if this is the level Kojipro is operating at now. first game I've played that made my ps5 feel like the next gen console it was supposed to be
>>728377157this would have worked irl
>>728375754/v/ will hate me, but ghost of yotei deserved best art direction. I liked death stranding 2 as well but man, yotei is literally one of the most beautiful games i've ever played, each area is like a painting
>>728372983Unironic retarded logic, yeah because there are a shit ton of Chinese idiots eating dogs or killing their daughters it makes it normal, not using your brain and having zero common sense is normal too
People gave so much shit to this game then DS2 is basically everything that they wanted from it and they go "meh"
>>728377371I haven't played it because of that annoying woman. but it does look nice.
>>728372175>>728372736>>728372974>>728372983>>728373023>>728373153If all my knowledge about the outside world came from media consumption and anime I'd probably say dumb shit like this all the time too.
>>728372175>absolutely mogged by another game dealing with the same fucking themei think kojima is just a shitty storyteller
>>728377157He's supposed to punch the enemies that retard he can keep running around in circle forever if he doesn't want to play the game.
Based pairing
>>728375754>Moon is gigantic at certain hours>for no other reason than "it's beautiful"Fuck e33, fuck tired ass Yotei jap asthetics. DS2 wqs robbed by nepos
>>728372593>Yeah but he doesn't spend any time with them for some reason. Doesn't even take them with him when he goes overseas etcAnyone got the screencaps of his son actually talking about their non-existent relationship? That shit was heart breaking.
>>728379843They went all out to make a cool spectacle, 7 years of hard work and zero awards.
>>728373854gta 4 was beloved and only legit retards started shitting on it.
>>728372175only Americans hated death stranding 2
>>728380217this industry doesn’t deserve Kojima anymore
>>728380217It's almost Lynchian, not the aesthetic but the fact that he got snubbed so badly at an awards show. There's no other game that looks like it but lets give the award to Assasins creed syndicate with niggers and magic.
>>728379998It's how you build robot get-inners.
>>728372175more like>limit game to the Fifa/Madden frat bro machine>nobody plays it
>>728375754>>728379843>>728380217>>728380551>>728380572Btfo'd by frogs, Kojima stormed out like a bitch instead of taking it on the chin
>>728372175>make a game about fatherhood and loss>childless zoomers and millennials all get filtered by itBut Expedition 33 got all the awards and explore those subjects better.
Too much SOVL for this shitty industry.
>>728380730No he didn't, he took it like a man
E33 is a game where a huge chunk of the fanbase believes the father was right in tard wrangling his wife and daughter because they won't stop wallowing in pity.It actually explores loss well, be abuse it shows you the lengths people will go to avoid confronting it and gives you the choice to completely fall.
Woodkid visibly got mad. His DS2 soundtrack was 10/10.https://youtu.be/fa0hqffp0EE?t=54
it felt like a giant DLC for the first game. I enjoyed it but it was easy as fuck, and really didn't stand out much compared to other games from the year. it will get more widespread recognition when it comes out on PC, if it was a simultaneous release they might've had a chance to win some awards
>>728381101>His DS2 soundtrack was 10/10. So was Lorien's, first try too, with iconic at this point songs in it.
While ignored as fuck when it came to /v/ discussion since i played it on the wrong fucking platform, at least i can assure PCfags that they're going to have a great time when they get the game: Verdict Gud.Thank me for the beta test i got paid $0.
>>728380572it really doesn't matter what the content of the game is if the gameplay itself isn't interesting and fundamentally that's always been DS's issue. UPS delivery man who sucks at everything else is a novel idea but you're really playing a boring game to get to the slightly more interesting parts of the game like navigation and combat, the rest is just holding the trigger buttons down and walking forward for ours.DS as some kind of a survival game with a bigger emphasis on combat or a horror game with a bigger emphasis on interactions with BTs would have been a much more successful title.
>>728377741That's LITERALLY their culture. You think it's bullshit when in real life they are going through a fucked up birthrate crisis because they don't wanna have kids. Japanese parents fucking suck unless they're successful already and live stress-free of money problems and can actually spend time with one another, which is rare as fuck nowadays.
>>728381572The whole game is just really well made. I won't make claims like "this will change your life!!" but it's solid as fuck in every aspect. PC gamers always appreciate all the technical shit and how hard it is to make a game that plays and looks so well.
Huh, so that's why this board doesn't get the last two God of Wars.
>>728372175God this fight was so kino, i am not surprised the game didn’t resonate with the average zoomers or millennials, they lack the testosterone required to appreciate Kojima’s 90’s Action Hero style. I mean shit, half of dudes are chopping their balls off nowadays. Thankfully, Kojima games age like wine, give it till PC release for everyone to start glazing it. Just like the first game.
>>728381206DLC maybe, but emphasis on giant. Easy as balls just like the first game anyway. It should have been a simultaneous release like MH:Wilds did and that was a very good idea that everyone enjoyed so i was expecting them to practice it again here. It's over for console exclusivity, the wheel of time has turned, the Playstation failed, Xbox is dead, Nintendo went back to producing wooden toys.
>>728381924what pisses me off the most is that it didn't got the art direction award, they literally gave it to a copy and paste UE5 asset flip game and don't get me wrong E33 is a great game but the art direction award was fucking bullshit, fuck all these journo faggots who voted for this instead of DS2
>>728382131Exclusivity fucking killed the hype for DS2 so hard. People were genuinely excited for it and then it was like the game never even released.
>>728382131chances are DS2 was gonna be timed exclusive regardless because it's a Sony published game even though Kojima Productions owns the IP, DS2 and its ports (and their release schedule) were planned years before Sony abandoned exclusivity.
>>728382191E33 has some amazing vistas, locations and properly cinematic moments. Couldn't have done better with the budget they had.
>>728380343Death Stranding 2 is in the same boat you mong. You're smart so you enjoy IV and DS2 but the average Madden Cod goy shits on this game. Millenials are lame and prefer E33 becauae they don't like jrpgs but "WOW THIS ONE IS SO MATURE!"Watch nigger, ten years from now DS2 will be crowned.
>>728382191Really pisses me off. Shinkawa created so many cool designs and imagery.
Such pretentious garbage. Konami made the Metal gear games good not Kojima and his co author who died 30 years ago wrote metal gear. Fucking hack who wants to be Gajin celebrity
>>728382434>One of the greatest ARTists of all fucking time didn't won the fucking ART direction awardit's truly unfuckingbelievable
>>728381701Thats the whole point dumbass, it's entire gameplay places a sort of monotonous importance on deliveries because of how vital it is to everyday life. See those trucks on the road? If they stopped doong their boring job for a week you'd be back in the 1800's. Each connection adds a new tool that adds more gameplay mechanics, but the result is the same on purpose.>BT survivalThe ending of DS1 set up a precedent, BT's are a joke now because of all the horror and hardships from the first game. Kojima has balls to allow the beating of the big bad in the first game mean something in the second.
hewwo? is this the kojima wanking thread? ze auteur? giant brain genius japanese god???
>>728382434>>728382639Not the first time
I can't stand that retarded frog nigger Woodkid. Such a downgrade from Low Roar.
>>728382807Low Roar fucking died
>>728372175I don’t have a playstation
>>728382639Just relax, anon, loosy goosy, baby, dont take these awards too seriously. They’re just one big popularity contest. Kojima games tend to filter out the rabble on sight. I would’ve been more concerned if DS2 actually won something, truthfully.
People take these games for granted just because there is a lot of garbage to play and waddle through to keep them distracted. There aren’t many actual auteur games as well made as this.
>>728382910Yeah but he shouldn't have. No Low Roar and no Mads really hold the game back. Higgs came back why not Mads. Mads WANTED to come back.
>>728383362Kojima said he wanted to respect his character arc and not bring him back. Besides there are still Low Roar tracks in DS2.
>you can literally play Pokemon with BTs
>>728381924Thanks for not making that claim since that sort of talk pisses me off to an autistic degree. I do mourn the loss of DS1's melancholic audiovisual ambience and genuinely unique vision for this, futureconcrete aesthetic? Like a positive non-commercial version of a mass-produced utilitarian dystopia. A depressing future where human society isn't the bad guy for once and everyone is trying their best.
>>728375754>visual symbolismthis kidnd of shit is usually low iq and utterly pointless. halfwits love it to pretend they re deeper than the puddles they are
>>728383908>use capture grenade on final boss of the fucking game>it works
>>728382284it just means that you get to double dip, there'll probably be a Director's Cut upgrade with new content just like DS1. people on PS5 in a sense get to experience two launches of the game.>>728382656calm down nigger, all i'm doing is explaining why DS isn't a big franchise. >>728383362hopefully it's because Kojima is saving Mads for Physint.
>>728383447There are only a couple of new tracks. It's kinda fucked when I listen to the DS1 soundtrack then immediately after the DS2 one and half of it is the same Low Roar songs.
>>728372260His kid is famously the reason why Snake was in Smash Bros and was supposed to happen with Melee but development was too far along.
>>728374120picolo was his favorite character though
>>728372175>copy MGS4 finale verbatim but with even more gay>expect to be laudedHe can suck it and I'm glad he went home empty handed. It was a self fellating piece of work
>I'm your Louise>Fragile's corpse just sitting there>credits rollHonestly, what the FUCK was he thinking?
Luca should have been nominated too. He barely speaks but his mocap work was insane.
didnt he himself say he didnt want people to like the game too muchwonder if geoff will ever be able to suck his cock while handing him the big award on stage like he so wants to do
>>728385151He wants to make games that people either love or hate, no in-between. Not mass appeal games but not fading into obscurity because you make total dogshit either.
>>728372175both death stranding games are absolute shit, amazon wagie sims, and Kojima hasn't made a good game since peace walker.
>le deliver boxes game with z list actors (minus Mads)it's shit.
i actually felt some thing when fragile and sam kiss at the end, not even movies do that to me anymore
>>728385059it's still fucking insane to me that a game can have multiple nominations in a category... 3 of the 6 noms were for E33. isn't the character Charlie Cox plays a side character or something? did he literally just get the nom because everyone likes him as Daredevil?
>be Kojima>like 80's Hollywood action movies>have an inborn pretentious streak>make games with your pretentious streak that are normalized by your 80's action flick sensibilities>for the most part it works out and you strike a balance between extremes>be Kojima>20 years after those action movies moved out of the Zeitgeist>only left with your pretentious sensibilities>shit out purely pretentious bullshit>have enough name recognition people buy it anyway despite it being hot trashHis other problem is the last time Kojima was really designing games was MGS1. Doing maps, writing specific scenarios. He still cares about gameplay but in the ideas guy sense. You can already see Kojima's vanishing influence on gameplay proper in MGS1-V
>>728385770MGS1 is barely a game. It’s a cinematic ride from beginning to end. You do more stealth in Death Stranding and the game actually lets you play without seeing a cutscene for hours.
>>728384241One game only needs one launch. Don't excuse my Snoyness away, i strongly wanted to play DS2 right now no matter the cost.
>>728385770it's not really as you describe. DS is just the culmination of all these different ideas and concepts he had for a game that he could never work into other projects, and Konami refused to greenlight the game as its own project. so when he had an opportunity in the form of a blank check from Sony to do whatever he wants, he made a very self-indulgent arthouse playground to get all those ideas out. seems like it's a combination of the leftover story from Silent Hills (Lisa appears in both PT and DS1) and all these other wacky gameplay concepts he wanted to try, like a massively single player online game about delivering packages.
>>728385730People also get mad at Death Stranding for having celebrities but have no problem sucking off Charlie Cox
>>728385059he cute
>>728386118I find it really cool how much P.T. ideas shaped the imagery in Death Stranding. In DS2 you can also see way more Metal Gear type designs.
>>728372736Hence why fags here worship them
>>728382434The various ghost mech designs are SO COOL. They could make the main protag a ghost mech delivering replacement ghost drones to ghost mech foxhole dwellers and they would still be underutilized.
>>728385059Luca was a dumb concept. Kojima should have envisioned something new. We didn't need to revisit that mechanic. It brings down the game. Lucy was also a gross roastie.
>>728386403yeah i really wonder what SHs would have been like. seems like Mads would have been in it too as whatever Cliff analogue that version of the story had. obviously it wouldn't have been 1:1 like i doubt it would have been sci-fi. but the parallels are interesting. i bet that this version of the nightmare in the other SH titles would have had that nautical/oil theme a lot of the BT stuff has.
>>728382807Woodkid est Français?
>>728372175>make a bad game>nobody pays it any attentionDeath Stranding was kind of a cool idea. The cool idea didn't even last long enough to make the entire game feel fresh. Dunno why he made a sequel.
>>728386784The physical fear of touch and hand monsters are definitely a Silent Hills idea. That kind of psychological horror was always a staple of the series. Kinda impressive that Kojima made that work in a mailman sim too.
>>728382656>>BT survival>The ending of DS1 set up a precedent, BT's are a joke now because of all the horror and hardships from the first game. Kojima has balls to allow the beating of the big bad in the first game mean something in the second.kinda based
>>728385272He failed at that since i both love and hate DS games, i'm mad they're that good without being perfect. I can run a better version of the game in my head. I'm a better videogame director than Hideo Kojima give it to me.
Going full NGE was based
>>728381572First game was like that too, only shitposts until the PC port and then everyone here declared it a masterpiece.
>>728387270BTs being as imposing as the kung-fu mooks in a power ranger episode isn't based.
>>728386809Je crois. Suspected it when I heard him talk in one of the events before ps5 release
MGR style spin off when?
2 is unplayable. Maintaining the highways is a full time job. You can't even stop hunting BT's for crystals to do deliveries or else you will fall behind on maintenance. This is why I quit the game.
>>728386861DS1 was heavily rushed and majority developed by satellite studios like Guerilla Games, DS2 he could take his time and develop the ideas more and do more work internally. also because he doesn't have Metal Gear or Snatcher or any of that stuff anymore, his studio needs a new IP to license which is why they're doing a movie and an anime now.>>728387047i'm just disappointed that it really was a walking sim, i had hoped by the end of the game it would become a kind of survival horror experience with all the BTs but then they were really scripted and underwhelming. guess we'll just have to wait for OD and see what that's like.
>>728387568DS1 received one of /v/'s strongest shittalking rapetrains, DS2 received silence.
>death stranding anime protag is a nigger>disney (lol, lmao) death stranding project has white girl and nigger duo
>>728387793Tell me your secret for having your highways deteriorate because in my experience these roads are immortal even though i wanted them gone.
>>728388064Pretty sure it is tied to difficulty. I'm at whatever highest is. Other than that the only thing that fucks them is resting which I rarely do because the highway is so big in this one some part of it is always going to shit.
>>728388034He could really tongue some major anus with that thing.
>>728388034Mosquito seems pretty cool. I could easily imagine him as a bossfight.
>>728388309The design is sick, I simply do not like niggers
>>728383908You know, the only complaint I really had about that game was I rarely fought BTs, let alone the new BTs.
>>728387764i think that's probably the plan, producing future DS titles but letting other people direct them. DS2's ending is an obvious sequel hook but Kojima is gonna be busy with OD and Physint for the foreseeable future. but DS is still the studio's only real IP, so it would make sense to continue producing titles alongside the anime and film that are coming out. i actually wonder what a multiplayer DS game would be like.
>>728372175sorry kojima you had to shock people to win an award LOL
>>728388617Custom deliveries and aid requests is what multiplayer DS would be like and nobody used these features because they were shoved to the wayside by design. I'm the anger. MP Death Stranding is right fucking there.
>>728377371It's just like ghost of tsushima
>>728388617It wouldn't be a bad idea to let other people develop the series further and take it into different directions.
>>728388535BTs are probably the most half baked aspect of the games, in the trailers and cutscenes they're always depicted a particular way but you never get any of that in game because of how restrictive the game mechanics are surrounding them. they're always the most underwhelming thing about the games. >>728388913i think the biggest hurdle is the series conventions about death, death is so common in multiplayer games like these, you'd do an 'open world' Valheim kind of thing and the map would be nothing but voidouts within a few days.
>>728372175>make a game about hollywood actors acting out homoerotic scenes in an avant-garde horror setting>get buttmad when it doesn't get hailed as the second cumming of le creatavidad
>>728387639Why do they need to be imposing? Should we take the tren out of Chris Redfields arms, turn him vegan and throw him back into a field of zombies?
You could fuel an entire country with all the salty tears Kojimbofags are providing in this thread. LMAO
>>728389379>Why do they need to be imposing?why do the scary monsters that are the entire reason for people in the setting living the way they do need to be imposing? are you retarded?
I liked the final trailer that literally no one watched. Actually showcased the game and sold me on it.https://youtu.be/etOOO9Sq7u8
>>728389141I'd leave each player in his own world and all i'm saying is that if players were allowed to set the orders in place of the NPCs then this would translate into infinite deliveries and that's good gameplay because it's why we're all here to do.
>>728389660>E33 troon crying that no one likes his nepo plant game
>Really Higgs? Are you going to say that in front of Usada Pekora?
>>728389379Because i've loved how creepy the BTs were since i first saw that cutscene in 2019 so i want to fear them more and that could be achieved in game. Talking about the human ones, the big BTs are alright i guess. I also guess i've developed an obsession with BTs.
>>728372175that scene was kino indeed
>plan to build new pc before DS2 PC release>in no hurry as we don't even have a release date yet>got fucked over with prices getting retardedIt's so over for me bros
>>728390259BTs are cool I love their sound design >The team hit a piano with a sledgehammer and a rake.>They shook a cart full of metal wiring and hit oil drums with sticks.>A paint roller was used to create faster, rhythmic clicking sounds.
>>728385059So does this guy end up being snake or was it just fan service?
>>728390535It’s basically if Mads in DS1 was Lich King and this guy replaced him, nothing more to it.
>>728389750i guess if deaths only counted against the player's world and not against the worlds of other players it would work>>728390259it just sucks because that opening cutscene in DS1 with Fragile and the BT (which also featured in one of the game's pre-release trailers) really gives you the impression that these are menacing creatures that hunt people down, but really they're just static obstacles and laughably easy to deal with. in my mind BTs would have been an issue that got increasingly more prevalent as the game went on until you reached a point where the walking sim stuff was solved game territory and really it's surviving the BTs and anomalies that you have to worry about.
>>728385961fuck this shitty game with all these third rate actors.>deliver this pizza to the guy at the end of this generic sandbox
>>728372175I have two kids. Almost all stories about fatherhood are written by people who don't actually know anything about raising kids but like the idea of fatherhood being an ultimate mark of manhood. You look into any of them and it's always a guy estranged from his children
>>728372260Yeah, his son thinks Metal Gear Solid is fucking gay and likes Monster Hunter lol
>>728390535it was purely coincidental fanservice. from what i remember of Kojima's explanation, in the script Kojima had it so the character wore a scarf, he was trying to think of a unique movement to give the character kind of like how Mads had his cigarettes, and during mocap/rehearsals the actor playing Luca put the scarf around his head as a bandana so that's what they went with. it wasn't until later Kojima realized the Snake parallels and decided to go with it.
>>728391114Kojima even had to tell him that he's not Snake lol
>>728390435I got fucked too. I waited for the GPU shitshow to end in 2020 and today i'm still waiting for the shitshow to end but it'll never end will it. Computers don't exist anymore.
>>728390862I think conceptually in-universe they are extremely menacing. It's just that Sam is too OP.
>>728390531JEJ
>>728391170it really does fit thematically though, that Hades/purgatory with the endless war is very similar to MGS4 and its criticism of war games, Luca as another advanced humanlike BT works.>>728391323i just think the gameplay underserves them as a concept because it's UPS delivery man walking sim pretty vibes Low Roar simulator, it's not a survival horror game. you could very easily tweak the DS gameplay to serve that end but it would undermine what people consider the "meat" of the franchise, holding down L2 and R2 while they push the left control stick forward.
>>728389941>they call me 007>0 awards>0 sales>7 years of developing a shit gameAYY LMAO
>>728391323No, there is an in-game problem and it's that BT enemies display the exact same behavior as MMO mobs.
>>728377741the salary man folded 1000 times working all day is not a meme and it's not something recent or anything. Japs were always like this, or at best, it turned like this after WW2.
>>728391446Death Stranding is basically a half horror game, there is a lot of creepy stuff but it's mostly sprinkled through a chill game. A full on horror game could be interesting too, but it really would be so different from the original appeal. I would buy it though no doubt.
>>728372175Where was the game? Did he release it as a blue ray only movie or something?
>>728391930yeah i'm hoping that they more or less do what i described and let other devs/directors make games in the franchise exploring different facets of it, i'd love a straight survival horror game about avoiding BTs and black ops Bridges guys and skeleton soldiers.
>>728392024Big budgets are out of the cultural landscape, people only want indie darlings. The hipsterization of the world is complete.
Higgs spin off game when
>>728372175last good kojima game was mgsv
>>728392402I would actually love a prequel game about his descent into madness
>>728372175Shouldnt have ripped off Gitaroo Man.That bitch got what he deserved.
>>728372974Traditionally, raising children is the woman's role, and men are only there for occasional guidance, and providing resources, and being a role model>>728373153>>728374120The designated after work drinks with the boss is incredibly important to salaryman structure.Eh, Bunta and takumi is more common than Gendo.I was fortunate to have a Vegita kind of father.>>728373439He's a manchild.
>>728392402>hack generators to electrocute sam>hack postboxes to close and pinch sam's fingers>hack shelters to spray unfiltered timefall in sam's face>hack bridges to play a disheartening voice message instead of a song>hack ziplines to rotate violently to swing sam in circles>hey! keeping on sammyboy?>(fuck you!)
>>728393334Death Stranding: DevilishSome cool stuff could be done gameplay wise
>>728393334>hack sam's dreams to make him gay
how to completely alienate and humiliate your own fanbase in one easy step>add a vtumor to your game
>>728393871I can handle debra nigga but I can tell I won't enjoy the vtumor>mandatory handful deliveries for story>will want to 100% game and do all deliveriesI don't want them in my games reeeeeeee
>>728393871VGH SOVL
>>728394101It's just kind of funny like the monster energy in DS1
>>728394305The cans didn't talk
literally a humiliation ritual
>>728381701You get vehicles in DS2 like right after the intro. At no point in the game do you need to walk for hours which is something that was more arguably a fair criticism for DS1. Why are you lying?
>>728394375don't give him ideas he'll fuckin do it
>>728395152>drink ultra zero to regain endurance>UNLEASH THE ULTRA BEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSST
>>728395063>ACHUALLY it's not a walking sim because you can drive cars through empty landscapes instead of walk through themwhat point do you think you're even making here you retarded disingenuous nigger lmao
>>728395320Did you miss the placing of literally all of the enemy and BT camps that are pretty much in every pathway throughout the game? I didn't go into that because I assumed you played the game and weren't that fucking retarded but congrats you beat my very low expectations of you.
>>728395538i accept your concession
>>728395320It's a porter simulator plain and simple. Everything you do is part of your job. Walking and driving across terrain, building structures to make it easier, defending your precious cargo, resting your weary legs. The map doesn't need to be filled with stuff. there's just enough to keep the journey interesting but not overwhelming.
>>728393871I wasn't humiliated but i didn't like it when i discovered the shelter. My hot piss reaction lies in a thread somewhere in the archives. I remember sitting Sam down inside the Megellan's hold facing the wall for 30 minutes to mimick my own state of mind at the time.
>>728395638I'm only conceding that I failed to understand your extremely low IQ. DS2 deliberately had had more action placed into it because Kojima took the DS1 criticisms to heart and even updated that game to have more action in it in the Director's cut edition.
>>728395751kek like Sam hasn't seen enough he has to witness this as well
>>728372175This is cringecore. Kojima will never win an award again.
The fact is Kojima is a washed up hack. CO33 has more originality in it than the last 20 years of Kojimbo's career.
>>728395269okay now I kinda want to see it
>>728395719Genociding MULEs is also part of my job. Someone's gotta do it.
>>728396000COBB?Nice digits.
>>728396271amen brotha
>>7283962858008 lmao.
>>728395719that's fair but pretending it isn't a mostly empty walking sim and 90% of the game isn't just holding forward or driving forward like that other retard did is just disingenuous and false. enemies are not hard to fight in DS1 or DS2 even on the hardest difficulty, these games are baby easy and there's almost always some way around a given obstacle with how liberal the game is in sharing online resources.
>>728396354
>>728396383> it isn't a mostly empty walking sim and 90% of the game isn't just holding forward or driving forward like that other retard did is just disingenuous and false. > enemies are not hard to fight in DS1 or DS2 even on the hardest difficultyIt's amazing you can acknowledge there are enemies and obstacles (and boss fights) but try to lie about it just being walking 90% of the time when it objectively isn't. Saying the game is an easier, toned down MGS is fair criticism. Saying you are just walking all of the time is both wrong and retarded
6779sorry kid but you already conceded the argument earlier :(
kojambles fumbled the story in the final act pretty hard>the big evil shows up, does an anime villain monologue and is immediately defeated>giving Higgs a sad story for no reason other than to trying to force a "sympathetic villain" out of him
>>728372175>make a game about fatherhood and loss>release it on ps5>hood niggas that have no father and are still gangbanging after losing a schoolbus worth of homies get filtered by itHe should make a ps5 exclusive about swimming next
>>728375754>red shit>art direction
>>728372593Taking a child to the USA or Europe would be considered very dangerous to the average Japanese person's mind these days. Even if it actually isn't, that's the way they think. Kojima's mother would have a fit.
>>728379998>Anyone got the screencaps of his son actually talking about their non-existent relationship? That shit was heart breaking.Shit I remember that from like a decade ago, some anon was at school with him iirc and he said something like he felt like his fans knew him better than he did.
>>728398225>Even if it actually isn't
it's strange the shit you guys pretend to like to make yourself feel like you're actually big brained unlike all the other gamers. it's still a shit dumb video game and kojima has always been a hack. and before anyone gets any funny ideas, expedition 33 sucks too.
>>728399162>Everything sucks!Thanks for the input, do you have a blog I can subscribe to?
>>728397794just random snaps that i took throughout my playthrough. that part doesnt come out well in a screenshot but it looks amazing while panning around and seeing the BTs>>728384157symbolism is low iq? >halfwit pretending to be deeper than they aresounds like projection to me bud.
>>728399508there's plenty of good things. it's just that none of it was made in the past 20 years. including blogs. sorry I hurt your feelings, eating a dick and dying might make you feel better.
>>728372312I do
>>728399162>make yourself feel like you're actually big brained unlike all the other gamers.that's literally what you're here doing. just saying we like the game is the elitist thing though lol
>>728399680>it's just that none of it was made in the past 20 yearsMust be a miserable life if nothing in the past 20 years has been good for you, maybe take your own advice and suck some dick since you just recommended it.
damn Kojima is freaky
>>728372175>game about fatherhoodIt's going to get completely mogged by Pragmata.
>>728372175I've spent 20 years on this shithole, young 4chan users are basically my children
>>728391109That fact is 15 years old now. Kid (guy) probably doesn't give a fuck about vidyo games anymore.
>>728372593>. Doesn't even take them with him when he goes overseas etchis kids are in their 30ties ... they probably have kids of their own...it would be weird to take his entire extended family on a work trip
Higgs is honestly my favorite part of both games. Great design, steals the show every time he appears, fun bants with Sam, but also has a tragic backstory that makes him sympathetic. And the soundtrack accompanying him is always fire too. You just know the game is about to get really entertaining when he shows up. https://youtu.be/ftjmkdJglp8
SHRED IT
>>728373854gen alphas only care about roblox and minecraft
>>728403396>gets the best designs>gets the best musicHe can't keep getting away with it.
>Carry this! Deliver that! How 'bout one of these! >Nothing but fucking bugs! Gimme a hot meal... a hot bath and a cold fucking beer!
>>728375321all those words just to justify eating shit
>>728404476The whole Egyptian pharaoh/mummy motif in a sci-fi setting is just too strong. Even the Demens theme is amazing. https://youtu.be/QqMU3VcG7TA
>>728372175>>728403396>>728404142What the fuck is this shit kek.>look mom! I'm breaking the 4th wall!Holy reddit.
>>728405197First Kojima game?
>>728372175Kojima games are so fucking shitWhy people suck his balls so hard?
>>728405160>plenty of licensed merch with retarded prices>no higgs knife replica
>>728381924>The whole game is just really well made. I won't make claims like "this will change your life!!" but it's solid as fuck in every aspect.I just wish death stranding games were fun
Miss the roadster but at least there is the coffin board to soothe the pain
>>728405907The games are pretty much as fun as you make them.
>>728372260Yes and he hates his dad
>>728405485Californians aren't people.
>you can actually learn pizza karate based
>>728375393I know you're joking but for those who don't know wearing masks is common practice in Japan
>>728406702He's just an idiot. It's even a practice in hospitals for newborns in the west as well. Even before 2020.
>>728375393japan is a first world country so people wear masks as to not infect everyone around them.
you are telling ME that THIS lost GOTY???
>>728398485Woah, Anon said it?
>>728382656>The point is to suck
>>728406872UEP systems
>>728372175>childless zoomers and millennials all get filtered by itYou're wrong, I have a son, my wife's son. The God of War games are better games about fatherhood than anything cuckjima has done. My wife's son who is 5 saw me playing GOW 2018 and Ragnarok and enjoys watching me play the game so it’s something we do together. He loves pretending he’s Atreus and when I call him “boy”.
>>728408258You aren't funny.
Good night, demenbros
