How are you porting this sunday, fellow porters?
>*0 players on steam*this game died within a week on PC. it has been completely destroyed by Crimson Dessert .its over Kojima
>>735956806how comfy is it?
I'm waiting for the VR mod to come on ARMGGDN then I'm all over this shit.I'm not givng that Luke Ross fuckhead a penny
>>735957379depends on what youre doingif youre hiking or trucking, very comfybut if youre playing on a high difficulty and have to deal with dangerous areas, its quite high stress and you need to pay a lot of attention and play at your best
>>735957239>Unfocused and non-cohesive turd sold better, therefore it's good.
>paid crimson desert shills don't exi->>735957239
I hate when games leave the endless post ending world for you to explore and 100% it. Everything feels empty, the story is done every one is gone, why hang around the ship anyway.Finish the story and lock the game, leave everything that you built for other players, it could be implemented with a line saying "your journey is done, but you're not gone you live on in this world by Mark you left on it and it's people, your actions will help future porters" and don't know some gay shit. 10/10 game, Charlie is a diva.
Almost built and fully upgraded all infrastructure up to East Knot. Just gotta Level 3 upgrade the mine above the Northern Observatory, then I'll have the ceramics to finish the roads.Just a constant loop of farm BTs for chiral gems, mine alloys/resins/metals, transport via carriers/monorail/trucks.Once I get the last of the roads done I'm gonna take on all the new orders I have from everyone it seems.One thing I didn't realize until later was that its a good idea to keep the Magellan stocked on materials.95 hours inOne thing I will say is that i've never been caught in a sandstorm outside of that one main mission to the weapons factory. I'm guessing the game will have them spawn for certain orders, just rare to see them around the map.Thought my game was glitching a few times until i read that entry about the train in the sky, i actually thought it was monorail cars just loading too high lmao
>>735959074I guess theres the endless job of delivering all that shared locker lost cargo
Were Chlorobiotes in the first game i forget, they're soo useful for cutting umbilical cords on golden gazersAnother mechanic i had no idea about until hours in is the skip movement from pressing X/A while you're holding your backpackif that was in the first game i definently never noticed or even pressed it by accident god damn, it even works going downhill
I thought for sure that we were going to find out that Charlie was Diehardman, but that Diehardman had his arms and legs cut off to prevent him from impeding the new president's agenda. Because the Charlie manequin in the ship doesn't have arms or legs. And also maybe they couldn't kill Diehardman for some reason, given his name. Would have been a cool mission to have to transport Diehardman's torso back to the Magellan. Maybe that could be something for DS3. Loumorrow has to save her dad who had his arms and legs cut off by Higgs' son, Boson.
>>735957542Not at all.Im doing my very first playthrough on "to the wilder", which is supposed to be the ultra hard difficulty and the game is still a cakewalk.
>>735958232Will never ever play that shit due to their bot marketing
>>735960037The only hard part for me on TTW was the bosses. I only played TTW so I don't know how it compares to the easier difficultlies, but I'm just assuming they cranked up the health pool a ton. It's pretty tedious whittling away at their health. Doing a second playthrough on TTW would be easy as shit though cause now I know where all the bosses are. Half the fun for me anyway is not always knowing what's around the corner, and having to try to prepare accordingly. Maybe I need a rocket launcher, maybe not.
>>735957239>mfw i dont care about these steamchart wars>mfw im going to buy and play both games>mfw right now im enjoying Death Strading while Crimson Desert gets patched and fixed by its devsFeels good to actually enjoy video games and not just shitpost about them

>driving through the chemical mine valley at top speed for the 6th time today>shock grenade falls directly onto my truck forcing me out>try to make a run for it and darth maul fucks me up the ass while im sprinting through the tunneljesus christ i thought it was safe, thank god the truck was empty
death stranding 3 should have tank controls
>>735961098You did fought back, didn't you, you always carried 2x assault rifles, 2x grenade launcher, 1x ghost blade and 60x ex grenades, right?
Seeking honest answers. I fell off DS1 at the first incinerator part. Should I go back and power through it? How long after does it take before the game opens up and becomes more free roam?
>>735961307I was naked as the day I was born, managed to run for all of 3 seconds before I was meleed to death from behind Those guys dont fuck around, never actually seen them do their boost but when I hear it behind me im like fuck its over
>>735959074>ghost mechs are mmo mob camps>favorite area transformed into perma BT fight>Q-pid doesn't work>nagging voice of Kojima telling me to stop playing alreadyI didn't like the post game. It's not left in a forever-state.
>trying to climb the mexican mountains>invisible walls that don't even have the "you have left the delivery area" warning>arbitrary construction blocks on in-network areasif I can't get up there I am going to call kojima the n-slur
>>735961148It should have noclip gameplay and you know it.>drop cargo>jump off cliff>press noclip button>swim under the map>pull enemies into the ocean from behind walls and floors
>>735961475In chapter 2 (or 3) you gonna get more toys and the world becomes more open. The early chapters keep you trapped in a lame tutorial area and you basically do everything by foot. A little tedious.The main takeaway is to just do story missions and ignore all the subquests. The latter can still be done later.
>>735961913i wasn't shitposting thougheverbeit
>>735957239>>*0 players on steam*But that's wrong, you retard.
>>735961667I tried to prove an anon wrong last week and now that i've played some more he was right, Mexico has a lot of invisible walls. Australia's not like that.
>>735961569>>nagging voice of Kojima telling me to stop playing alreadyhow often does this happen?i was gonna aim for every order completed, sounds like i should not finish the story until thats done
>>735961983Ah I see, will do the main missions then. Tyty.
>>735962121He spoke to from the beach as i played the post game.
>board or alight vehicle>cargo teleportsThey need to fix this
So the whole courier thing seems great but how bad are the cutscenes and dialogue in this part? Do I have to sit through hours of cutscenes and dialogue to get to gameplay or is there somewhat more healthy balance this time
>>735962226Not him, but you should do subquests anyway to level up preppers and get items. DS1 is extremely easy to do that with since you can load up orders on the way to the main story mission areas and as long as you understand the traversal and weight limits, you're basically going to A->B with other preppers/side-orders on the way there anyway, so you might as well veer off a little bit to drop off/grab things going in the direction you're going anyway.DS2 has less orders like this until you push forward (I've found) which can make this approach a bit more annoying because you're only getting 2-3 orders every six hours (with the skills) until later in the game where you'll get about 6-10 orders going to where you want (in reverse).
>>735962550I just found the pacing to be extremely sluggish, and I hated how you were more or less funneled into the BT's with very few options to avoid them in the beginning. I genuinely don't want to have to deal with that again for a prolonged period of time; that's exactly why I dropped off it in the first place.
>>735962549>Go to circlejerkr/circlejerk•5y agoboringbunionI deliberately purposely bought a Hideo Kojima Movie-Game™ full of cut-scenes that I do not want, and now I am mad.>How could this be happening to me?Don't bother if you're not here for Kojima KINO.
>>735961535cheese them, the time biote and a couple nades to the face to the trick. It stun locks them allowing you overwhelm them.
>throw smoke bombs at enemies then go up to them and shock them into unconsciousness with the power gloves>sneak up on people and do that stealth takedown with the power gloves >fill up two cargo carriers full of online cargo and walk from one shelter to the next and finally empty them out on the last shelter after a long day >throw the boomerang at a watcher bt trying to catch me until he fucks off>use the cargo carrier to skate across wet sand/dirt surfaces during timefall>clear out a brigand/survivalist camp and recycle all their shit into materials>visit pekora >throw bt decoys at camps and walk right past the camp while the enemies are too busy shitting themselves in fear >throw dollman at rocks >throw down with an enemy using a staff and fight him in melee combat >put some music on as i walk and pretend it’s one of those scripted musical segments >listening to the “to the WILDER” sound effect after making a delivery There’s so many ways this game scratches my autism. I love just fucking around doing whatever I want
>>735961667>getting up there requires glitching yourself onto the other side of the invisible wallI hate you so much, niggerjima
Bola Stun Gun lets fucking go
>>735962701>I just found the pacing to be extremely sluggish,The series/IP is a marathon, not a sprint. You're here for the journey, not the destination. If you keep at it (and as the other anon says, the game DOES open up and gives you tools to make things extremely easier), the game rewards you with tools that make the whole "slog" trivial.Once you unlock trucks or the bike (the bike is like the 5th prepper, IIRC? In the opening area?), the game starts to go easy mode, and then when you get ziplines you become a god because the BT areas (which don't change, so you know where you're hitting/avoiding) becomes trivial because if you set up Ziplines going through BT areas, you basically laugh as the game "slows down"/notifys you stylistically, and then proceeds to zoom past with no BT's grabbing you off the zipline.Keep at it, basically. The game does reward you.
>>735962549The cutscenes are notably shorter than in the first game and especially MGS4
>>735962226Don't completely ignore the suborders and regular orders. Do them to unlock new equipment that YOU WILL NEED later on.
>>735962978Didn't beat the game.
>>735962701Just run past them, or drive, once you unlock vehicles and the boost exo, the game difficulty ends outside of combat.
I finished the story and never got the nightmare tomorrow asked me about, it's over
I didn't mind dollman because he just seemed like this game's Kaz and not some quip generator I checked the jap VA and lo and behold, it's the same actor.
so what's up with all the metal gear references in this game
>>735964134i wanted to not mind him but having somebody telling you to hit the glowing weak spots on bosses and go turn in your deliveries feels kind of insulting
how do you get pizza in your private room?
The truck has been quite nerfed in the wilder. I had to give up trying to drive up a slope, unthinkable.
>>735964184The director's a big fan.
>>735964551It's a little weird for kojima to rip off hideo so blatantly
>>735964184all in the same universe.
>>735962549Its much better this time around.I hated how in DS1 the end of the game was just two hours of back to back cutscenes
>>735964309>can't even trust players to count to 4grim
>>735964309>dollman when "solving" the ghost rider questI'M LEAVING BECAUSE I NEED TO PREP FOR SHIT FUCK OFF I KNOW THE ANSWER
wait was i supposed to pick higgs here? i thought the game was trying to find out if i was gay
>>735961667i got that when i was making this zipline networkhttps://youtu.be/5fe_19KnWOsstill managed to get a kino route but the thought of having to repair them down the road makes me want to kill myself
>>735966096Jesus christ Dollman was especially egregious in that mission with the talking. Was Norman Reedus paid by the syllable or something? I know he hasn't talked much at all in the past two games, but it's like they Kojima used Dollman as a substitute for Reedus to keep costs down. I swear Dollman has like a hundred times as much dialogue as Sam, it's ridiculous.
>>735961667>there's another invisible wall behind the invisible wall>the construction block and second layer of invisible walls was patched into the game just to counter people who found out how to get up here>I am this fucking closefirebomb kojima productions in minecraft
>>735966297Doesn't matter, because the story is linear, it's just Kojima fucking with you.

Why is Neil Vana fighting me in the first place? The fights with Cliff Unger made sense cause he's trying to get his BB back. But Neil? I don't get it. He plows my wife, tries to kill me, then gives me a USB stick with 2 terabytes of CSAM as a reward.
>>735967761>their entire plan hinged on sam uniting new continents with the q-pid>drawbridge develops a new q-pid>don't investigate this at all>drawbridge is being funded by a shadowy figure with unknown motivations>don't investigate this at all>wtf their new q-pid and their shadowy backer fucked us over4000 extremely dimwitted souls
>>735968095Because Kojima needed an excuse to trap you in a boring dreamworld and take away all the fun parts of the game for half an hour.It doesn't even make sense. He shouldn't have skeletons. Cliff had skeletons because he was a leader, this dude was just some fag merc.
wtf is that, a tori gate? why in the middle of a tar lake, KINO
>>735967203These fake choices are pretty fucking gay. The only times it's not is when you want to know more about what a prepper just said or just say bye I have work to do
>Sam keeps saying shit like 'Fuck off!' and 'Give me a break'.>Can't figure out why, miles from any enemy and nothing went wrong.Is he having PTSD flashbacks or what?
How does this economy work in the post Death Stranding world? I had this question pop into my head while trying to get the chiral figurines for the impossible faggots. I was thinking to myself as I cleared out the BTs in the warehouse, do these guys have a job or something? No? Is it a like based economy? I don't know how much chiral figurines cost, plus delivery, plus tip. But surely these two jackasses couldn't possibly have the funds necessary to buy 4 fragile figurines to be delivered to a remote location.
>>735968609He says this kind of things in bad weather
>>735968682Attention based economy like real life.
>cleared out all the enemies>find this>too big to use as cargofuck me this would've been nice like 5 minutes ago
>>735969004>can't transport it>can't craft any
>>735961475its only a few hours until you get to leave the tutorial island and then the game opens up
>>735964134He’s not that bad but he’s completely unnecessary. You could remove him from the game entirely and the game would only improve
>>735968095because tomorrow was gone and youre the only other human nigga there?
>>735968694But the weather always seems relatively normal when he does it, like light rain.>>735968682There isn't one, this is a post-scarcity society, it's the federation from star trek but in a post-apocalyptic world. This is all made pretty clear in the first one. If people want something, they fabricate it from a chiral printer, and their biggest sociological problems are the mental health issues caused by isolation and having to live in bunkers. People just do what they want and contribute with whatever skills they have because they want something to do. The only reason they even have porters is because deliveries are more meaningful to the people getting them when a human does it instead of a robot.
>>735968095Because DS2 is just DS1, down to the finnale and story.
>>735969245I thought you were talking about Neil.
>>735968275They specifically asked lockne to make the new qpid, then diehardman had her sabotage it secretly
>>735968095He hates you because Lucy choose Sam after she got pregnant, and that hate fucked his mind, which if you remember also fucked Cliff's mind making him forget everything. Both of their hatred and violent lives led them to attack you first rather than trying to communicate. Cliff was angry and wanted his BB back, which he thought was BB28/Lou and Neil was angry at You and wanted to protect Lou, and saw you as a threat.Only after you defeat them for the final time they come to their senses, Cliff recognizes you being BB and Neil recognizes you as Sam, father of BB/Lou.Personally, I liked Cliff better. Neil and Sam are interchangeable cucks. But Sam is highly autistic so I can tolerate him.
>>735967761why did kojima make him so zesty
>>735969683I mean, if you knew you had won and there was nothing your enemy could do to fight back, wouldn't you clown on him too in the most retarded and obnoxious way possible?
>>735968275>>735969539This reminds me, what was up with the Q-pid sabatoge in the first game? When you get to Mama (IIRC) she points it out, and for the next chapter she's fixing it. Then you're told it's fixed and it never comes up again.What was wrong with it? What was it supposed to do 'wrong'? Who sabotaged it? (Presumably Bridget or Amalee, but it's never stated.)
>>735970151In the first game she states that the strong the chiral network gets the more unstable it became due to some early stage manufacturing error. Which could cause BTs to start crawling out the ass everywhere. They kept it in the dark because having the network online was far more beneficial than any potential fuckup if an accident happened. Later on it's fixed so it's never brought up again.Amelie wanted everyone linked because it would facilitate bringing the last stranding into our world and causing the six extinction. She set Higgs into motion to sorta push everyone into rushing west fast, by giving UCA a motivation. (the second game outright tells you that), so she arms him and gives him most of his powers.Later she regrets its and fucks off to her own beach, locking herself away and the last stranding, somewhat delaying the inevitable.
>>735970560How did he regain his powers in 2 anyway ? Amelie cucked him out of them and there's no explanation to it or I missed it
>>735970560So the Q-pid problem in the first game wasn't some sinister sabotage plan, but just an accidental error and excuse to take BB away from you for a bit?
>>735970659He's dead, died in the beach you leave at the end of DS1, and the FOUR THOUSAND KEKS bring him back and give his powers back to use him again as bait.>>735970685Essentially yea, a fart in the wind to make you loose the trail for a bit.
>>735970919How would he die on a beach? Doesn't time not really pass there?We know Fragile didn't shoot him because he sends you emails from the beach he's trapped on in the post-game.
>>735970919>died in the beach you leave at the end of DS1How ? Fragile didn't kill him and didn't leave him the gun in case he wanted to off himself
>>735971331>>735971227That isn't explained more implied, she walks away carrying a rifle and a bag after handing Lou back to Sam, so she might have come back to Higgs and dropped the weapon near him. Or jumped out and left the gun behind.
omg theyre all here
>>735972004What's the deal with the Irish woman and her two goons? Do they just spit roast her all day whenever they're not receiving orders?
>>735972372they're chvrches
>>735972372they're the band CHVRCHES so yes
>>735972372Only one tram can go in the tunnel at a time, unless you go south and run the risk of getting a chiralpedion
>>735972001I supposed Higgs could have killed himself sometime in the eternity after sending those emails, but he's definitely not dead after the gunshot you hear in that scene, cause he's contacting you from that beach.
>>735968319The skeletons torture him in each scene, he takes control of his fate and takes control of his executioners. It's the best i got.
>>735968438Oh shit, that's what that is? I saw it from really far away, looked at it on my map and said "Oh cool, that's probably the next gate forming." Guess I gave too much credit to Kojima.Has anybody tried passing under it yet? I only just got the Dowser online so I don't have any tools for traveling over tar, but surely the game gives you something for that later?
>>735973162yes you get a sweet fricking skateboard that can go over tar, but it requires network coverage so if that gate isn't in the network you can't get to it
>Love using the floating carrier as a skateboard>90% of the time I'll lose control and smash into a wall or something or the carrier behind me just flies into a wall at mach speedI never learn yet I can't help myself from doing it again.
>>735969245I , like him. Yes he spits out tutorials, he also spits out stories and good vibes. Better Dollman than text prompts. His demeanor as a friend works in the writing, in the acting and his animations are plain fun to looks at. Let Dollman stay.I like Dollman infinitely better than i ever did BB.
>>735972969He's a reluctant warrior, he didn't want to smuggle people around. Every fight he's dragged into it by the skeleton which could be a stand in for the government that forces him to move people around, wherein Mads leads them, since he was a captain/leader of a squad, so he shows up first and summons his squad.
>>735966572Kojima did the same thing with Snake & Miller in MGSV. I think he just likes his silent, stoic protagonists and would rather use a side character to deliver exposition.

>>735968609He says “fuck this” and “gimme a break” when in the rain, if that’s what you mean. He gets chiral allergies and feels uncomfortable in the rain, which is why he pants so much when it’s raining
>headless riders on TWWjesus christ
>>735968682The setting has perfect material recycling and wonder power-gen tech. Service is left as the only valuable commodity.I imagine their economy is purely based on contribution to society being traded for good feels because good feels do feature on the pyramid of needs.Witness our modern world and how many people complain of despair from a lack of meaning in their lives: these people eat once a day and are never cold.In post-scarcity, status or recognition could be a function of how much one can motivate others and become trusted, even maybe using trickery. IRL this would turn everyone into a politician being overly conscious of their public image while deceiving for Likes (cheaters always win a fair game). Death Stranding erases humanity's darker nature by putting it in a dire situation though to be fair, nothing unites the people like a common enemy so DS's "nice world" isn't so far fetched.
>>735972430>>735972454NTA but holy shit that’s based
>>735972372I too imagine sex scenes at the animal shelter.
>>735973378After the first game, I learned to save the game before hopping in
>>735966572What bothers me the most is a lot of the times Dollman talks are completely fucking unnecessary. And I’m not saying I’d rather Sam talk to himself like a schizo. I’d rather there not be talking AT ALL. Like 95% of Dollman’s lines are completely fucking redundant and pointless and do nothing but ruin the mood
>>735975786SAM DID YOU DROP YOUR CARGO?????
>>735975786 Dollman talks so little i constantly forget he's there. Come on now.>>735975936 I never drop my cargo.
>>735975786too close for comfort
>>735976000I drop my cargo because I keep fucking boarding the coffin while still inside shelter entry
>>735976324dumdum leave the coffin outside
>>735976663But the rain...
>>735976801they're disposable, not even counts as vehicles, just make a new one once it's old and rusty.
>>735976000He talks all the fucking time and you’re talking out of your ass
>>735972792My assumption is that he spends awhile seething at you from the beach and eventually finds Fragile's gun or a gun and shoots himself once he goes insane.
>>735973378Theres a perk that makes it easier to control them.Which also means Kojima made them originaly handle like shit on purpose for no reason
>sam while plowing through mexico:>My DOOMS leveled up, my odradek just magically works, I can deal with BTs and catchers on my own, no BB>fragile supposedly planned for dollman to go with sam to fill in for a BB>dollman explicitly says his powers are vastly diminished in his new body>your ability to sense BTs does not get any better with him coming alonghuh?
>>735977002Speaking of ass, did you guys all also like the scene where you went into Neil Vana's mouth and came out his ass into the therapists office? Every time so far we've come back out the mouth, but with that one we kept going. I was yelling at my screen too in excitement. KEEP GOING KEEP GOING! YES WE'RE CROWNING BABY!
>>735977656Dollmans power is to explain to you whatever just happened in the previous cutscene and tell you how to feel about it.He's in the game because Kojima literally thinks most players are too dumb to understand his game.
Man, i have seen all kind of weird shit on games and the internet in general, but this cutscene made me feel unconfortable in a way nothing else has in a while, and i dont even know why.
Do easter eggs need specific triggers or something ? I'm 130 hours in and I've seen only one, despite resting a lot in both magellan and private rooms. Did I somehow miss everything ? Also how do I unlock Mr. Impossible ? Haven't seen any cargo for him anywhere
>>735978336There's some shit for him out on the ice flakes.
>>735978336>>735978486Don't forget your sticky gun
>>735978336i dont think there is any desu?the only one ive gotten is the spook shower and i think that gets triggered anyways at some pointstaring at sams feet/crotch in the room doesnt do anything like in the 1st game
>Sam actually didn't get cuckedBRAVO KOJIMA
>>735969649>interchangeable>he doesn't know
>>735978336There's only a few hard spawns for Mr. Impossible. The one that seems the most consistent is an alcove below the cliff that leads to their shelter from Terminal. After you unlock him, invest in some jump ramp and zipline routes for his express deliveries so you can do them whenever they're up.Also beware, that little liquid silo area right below their house sometimes just spawns a catcher fight instantly.
>>735979289>instant catcher fightsWhat the fuck were they thinking with those ? No I don't want to fight catchers three times in a row, fuck off
>>735979617Driving the tar lake beach? It's annoying if you forget about it, but that is where the EX Capture nade tutorial happened, and those spawns are still active even after the mission is done. You can go over that segment of beach, or you can go around the other side, or just wait out the weather.
>>735956806>Need to Five Star the Twink ("The Pioneer") and Woodkid ("The Mechanic")>No lost cargo sharedWTF. I want to obliterate that twink already.
>>735979960Captured them all for the sake of it but I'm pissed it's a thing that commonly happens even outside the lake
>>735980519>Not Albino*ran over*
>>735980637are they even RNG, I'm pretty sure they're all hard spawns and pioneer shows you exactly where they are
He literally did nothing wrong
>upgradable roadswhat the fuck
>>735980686I got one before seeing the Twink, so maybe? Hard to say as I stopped grabbing animals at five stars.
>>735981986Based. Burning Sam over and over was kinda rude though.
>>735982769he was just trying to help him become fire punch
>>735977002Stop badmouthing Dollman he's my friend.
Age doesn't destroy inanimate objects, erosion does. This implies that timefall also somehow simulates the effects of erosion. Timefall apparently loses all of its effectiveness after the moment it touches anything, including the ground. The ground can't be immune to effects of timefall, or else they'd just be building all of their rooves out of any number of types of tile. So why aren't rivers constantly shifting? Why aren't new canyons being made? Why aren't rocks crumbling?

>Die-Hardman basically just Fortnite emoted on that gAI's corpseBased
>>735985562The question you should ask yourself is, why include this bs into the story at all? Debrah could just be a doctor, moving the plot along around the bb.But no, somebody wrote that additional garbage in. And theirs for some reason is literally the only place that had that problem; ''men bad''. The rest of Australia is just cities and bunkers of loners. It's just try-hard shit included for no good reason.

>>735961475>I fell off DS1 at the first incinerator part. Should I go back and power through it?That's what I did. I played and unistalled the game at incenerator four times throughout the years. I powered through and then I spent 200 hours in this 'walking simulator'. It is quite unique game, glad I did it. I caught myself smilling for no particular reason many, many times during the playthrough.I have a feeling that the mission at the incinerator is incredibly stressful and frustrating on purpose, because it will shape your approach to the game for the rest of it, just like Undead Burg shaped people's opinion on the entire Soulsborne series.

>>735987189Frankly I thought they were he same from DS1
>>735987260They are, mostly, but there's some new ones and I can't tell if it's just Norman Reedus' voice getting gruffer with age or if he really did record them over the phone.
>>735956806The last chapter of this game is pure gold
>>735982997>So why aren't rivers constantly shifting? Why aren't new canyons being made? Why aren't rocks crumbling?Who says they aren't? When you look at the environment in DS, it looks like nothing in the human world. There are no millions of random sharp rocks anywhere IRL (unless you are in Ireland, asshole of civilization). Notice there are no trees almost anywhere in the game.
>>735983348Oof, nope then.
>>735961667The Mexico area is really unfinished feeling I honestly don't get why it was even included, guessing just because work had already begun on it for the planned DS1 DLC. Very disappointing compared to the Eastern Region of DS1.
>>735987538It's insane how badly you need my cock.
>>735956806Have they ripped the models yet? I want porn of dollmans daughter.
>>735956806I decided to play ds1 before ds2. Going pretty well. Very fun game, I enjoy multi-day backpacking trips and this captures that feeling quite well.
>>735987882It has Denuvo so you can't rip the models. it's basic security stuff
>>735988224>It has DenuvoNo it doesn't. It's DRM free on Epic and only has Steamworks on Steam.
Just finished the game just now, what did you guys think of the final boss? Although I did enjoy the spectacle of it and the music as well, it was way too easy. Really missed an opportunity to utilize the unarmed block system. Which is a waste because blocking strikes sounds so fucking cool. You can also string up Higgs like you did in DS1 if you sneak up on him, but unfortunately you don't get to kick him like a bully while he's down. Other things to mention:>muh vaccines in the intro>you can pick whoever you want for Charlie's voice, as long as it's die niggerman -__->Maggie not in the game >:(>fucking Debra, like seriously?>Troy Baker can seriously sing>bush fires seem to be a totally tacked on and forgotten mechanic.>Niel "Solid Snake" Vana>Niel "The Cucked" Vana>summoning bt's is cool and trivializes fights>we never get to use Fragile's unicycle from the intro, I imagined it would work like a portable coffin>wall hacking APAS trivializes the Vana fights>concerning amount of saars as NPCs, considering the state of immigration in japan>lots of Japanese representation among NPCs and also muh earthquakes for even more additional japanese representation

>>735986717Based. Keep on keeping on, anon
>>735988536Probly couldn't get her to do the voicing. Same with Amelie.
>>735987738Wait, there was supposed to be DLC for 1?
I'm getting bored. I need to advance the story, I guess. Been doing too much side orders and stupid little challenges
>>735987418He's a heavy smoker, could be why.
>>735988646Apparently instead of Director's Cut, the original intention to upsell the PS5 version was to have an exclusive DLC (like FF7 Remake did) that took place in Mexico, but then it apparently it would've come out too late and was rolled into becoming DS2 instead.
>>735985340>Mad Max reference>Mindbroken Anon due to Anita.RENT. FREE.
>>735988536Seriously should have just left her out of the game entirely. Been a while since I was blue balled so hard. I think I remember dialogue with Charlie in that cutscene that implied we would see 'them' later as we traveled the continent, but it was only just Hartman.
>>735988812>but it was only just Hartman.come on manheartman along with deadman are the coolest dudes in the game
>>735988753>exclusive DLCWow, that would've pissed nearly everyone off. I'm kind of glad Kojima or 505 or someone outside Sony said "no" to that.
>>735988871I didn't mean it that way, I like them too. Won't ever forget the hilarious shower scene in DS1, though there seems to be no humor of that sort in DS2. Aside from the intro scene we get of Deadman, there seems to be nothing else, scheduling issues with Del Torro maybe?
>>735988341>muh vaccines in the introyes, the child vaccinations, the vaccinations for the child, the ones your parents got for you? the ones that stopped you getting measles and other things? measles, which is now having an outbreak in the US because of retards like you? those vaccinations?
>>735989074>there seems to be no humor of that sort in DS2the last couple hours of death stranding 2 are easily the funniest thing kojima has ever made
>>735989139he meant with the physical Deadman, fat Del Toro, not the voice actor for Deadman playing his part with Heartman actor.I wanted more Del Toro making Sam autism flare up in a shower scene.
>>735977040That's a reasonable assumption. There might even be guns lying around somewhere because of the boss battle. But I wish they would have explained it, or just not say he died and only that he was rescued from the beach.
>>735989523>guns lying around somewhere because of the boss battleSpeaking of which, do 'tar Sams' not throw you stuff in the middle of large BT battles anymore, like they did in DS1? Maybe I missed it, but it seems like you get additional weapons and gear in boss fights from stuff just spawning randomly.
>>735985948Please understand, Troy Baker is incapable of providing a consistent performance.
>>735956806is there a reason why I should not just CE infinite materials and build roads right away? I think I fucked up - I stored all my materials in different locations, and I can't get it out now. I'm just tired of the road building minigame
>>735988341>>Maggie not in the game >:(>>we never get to use Fragile's unicycle from the intro, I imagined it would work like a portable coffinMaybe we'll get a 'directors cut' again.
>>735989706I don't mind it actually. Higgs' performance was far more bland last game.
>>735988224You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you bud? You can rip models from Denuvo games and this doesn't even use Denuvo in the first place.
>>735985948I think Kojima told everybody to really ham up their accents in DS2 for some reason (to promote a feeling of diversity probably). Fragile didn't have such a think French accent in DS1 either and all the new characters have heavy accents, though I guess it makes sense for the Mexicans to sound Mexican and the Australians to sound Australian.
>>735989707Because you can get that stuff out. If the DHV Magellan can't move right now, finish part of the story until it can, then zip around (without any cargo to deliver on you so you don't get hit with a like penalty for this) and pick them up from your various places, put them in the DHV private storage and you're golden for building the roads.Make sure to condense same-type down with auto-sort by putting it on your back before putting it in storage.It's tedious, but doable.
>Fragile and Sam kissFUCKING FINALLY! My man stopped being cockblocked
>>735989646no, they still show upI wonder what exactly the other player has done to cause that tar sam to show up, dropped weapons during that boss fight? died? beat it?or maybe they just draw from the playerbase at random just so it looks like your assister is a real person with actual intent

Started chapter 15 and I got reminded very violently that Die-Hardman is an actual war vet.
Is the number contributed from fellow porters going to go up at all on this road? I got into developing these and the rail but some of these nodes got so expensive. I've basically siphoned all of the resources from all my Mexico connections, which are at LV5 mind you.
>BTs can Voltron We are so fucked bros
>>735990073Will we get shower scenes? If we get no male gaze moments equivalent to the amount female gaze moments in DS1&2, I will also >>735966641>>firebomb kojima productions in minecraft>>735990259Also taking packages through the beach is somehow bad for delivery grades. Chiral contamination or does tar just get into the goods?
>>735990431FWIW, mine are built to the F4 distro. So if they aren't auto-showing up for you on the network: You're hosed on people contributing.I've just bucked up, used the mines and got them done. I haven't unlocked the upgrade function which apparently unlocks from taht center you're going to on the map, which is hinted when you first get there. But that's going to be even more a grind if you don't want to go back and repair shit, so get ready to upgrade ceramic and metal mines, buddy.
>>735990551How am I going to afford to use the mines though? Where am I supposed to get that much crystals?
>HEARTMAN HITS THE FUCKING LIQUID OCELOT CQC STANCE AFTER FUSING THE MAGELLAN WITH A BTWHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING
>>735990650kept you waiting huh?
>>735990650a weapon to surpass metal gear
>>735990594>Where am I supposed to get that much crystals?Animal Sanctuary and The Architech both have (fake/minor spoilers)gold chiral blobs/creatures next to them. They spawn where you find them (you can look this up if you want, but wandering around the area and seeing them at night is pretty easy), fabricate a grenade pistol and auto-equip it. If you hold breath and get close to them you can tag 2-3 with a quick tap-tap on the grenade pistol (to stop their splits from leaving/fleeing) and get a cool 1,500-5,000 chirals off them.It's more than enough to cover the mines.I think late game also has an area, but these two are the most common cited areas.Once you get enough chirals (I'm sitting on like 60,000+ just doing those while delivering to those areas and picking up the hands as I go along, tedious but...) you're golden because the 1,600 mine costs on the bigger mines give out 30,000-60,000 (upgraded, IIRC) resources which is way more beneficial than doing the preppers.
I keep seeing deployable shields everywhere, never in combat zones, just out in the middle of main pathways.Is there some movement tech or bug involved? What the fuck are these people doing?

>>735993916not him but my only problem with the plot is that no one bothered to look at her arm
Surprised and pleased at just how much better the fights are.Getting into a scrap with survivalists is fun compared to just avoiding the homo demens camps in 1.
>>735992405Because the Japanese are still suffering from severe brainrot brought on by being bombed back into the stone ages twice 80 years ago.
Props to the Bridges guy in the suit and tie he's a great actor.
>>735994039I mean, it was right in your face the entire time, the arm was retarded and possibly added as to insult your intelligence. The hair and eye colour, the lack of the body after Lou "died", Tomorrow who acts like a baby showing up out of nowhere after we meet Neil for the first time (after triggering his memories, the same way we did with Cliff, through BB's, which implied that Neil is connected to Lou), and to top it off, Fragile amnesia.I loved the game, but fuck you Kojima, and fuck the Dollman, I'm not that retarded. I know my way around I don't need you spell thing out for me, I can jump off a cliff riding the coffin just fine.
>>735993916If Amelie and Bridget count so do those two
>>735994189Skill issue, fights felt the same in terms of guns, just more variety now.Back then you could just run them over and abuse the slow motion effect you get when you're spotted or knock out someone to shoot them in the face and chain link the shootings.
>>735993323...celebrity?
>>735994539But Lou doesn't die, did she? I got that Fragile soul physically handed her to Neil for protection. Being raised in tar/chiralium and with the dead gave her the powers to manipulate the tar
>>735994574how is having more fun a skill issue?are you brain damaged?
>>735994667I was just making a joke anon, you're right obviously but I'm being retarded for a funny
Shoutouts to the skelly soldiers they were chill, especially the one that let sardines swim through his skull
>>735994672Not saying it isn't fun, it was great, both. It just felt no different than the first game. Reviews say the combat was finally fixed when it wasn't broken at all, the only thing it does is maybe handing you a rifle near the start, which lets you snowball from there.
>the final Mr. Impossible orderyou know I was almost certain it was going to be "retrieve 10 nuclear bombs from the highest peak in 1 minute" or something, but a goddamn endurance marathon across the entire continent was not something that I was prepared for
I like how the game portrays BRIDGES as a nuanced operation. Sure it was fucked up at the start with them basically being a war crime and trafficking factory but it morphed into something actually useful that united the people of the UCA and prevented the last stranding despite its fucked origin.

>>735995356I couldn't care less about her having powers, my two main concerns will be how well the suit fits around her ass, and whether or not higgs comes along as a schizo ghost narrator buddy after lou ate him, and has some sort of redemption arc
I decided to be cute and go the long way around the crater to get to the F5 port instead of going along the mountain or through the BT zones and... it was easy but long & boring. Turns out I took the path that you can eventually expand a road through so not surprising that it's not challenging. Feel like I cheated myself out of game.
>>735995862Don't worry the game will throw BTs at you soon enough.
I liked the deep grassy fields of north america over Australia, Iceland is highly kino country.Also mobility scooter is a sad downgrade compared to this
>>735994940I think you're a silly little retard if you think the enemies from 1 and 2 are exactly the same.part of the improvement is that the enemies, survivalists and the ghost drones in particular, are far more proactive and aggressive than the MULEs and Demens were in 1. The survivalists and ghosts being able to actually follow you across all terrain being a huge improvement.
>>735996149Nerve noticed if they followed or not, thats on me. Nerve gave them the room to. Same now.

Does Kojima intend for you to try to experiment when you unlock the lethal rounds from Pizza Chef's SSS message code? Like try to kill a MULE and do tactical voidouts or something? Or does any void out cause a game over?
>>735997667oh yeah i didnt event trywhat actually happens when you kill someone? it's not like there's any cremators around like in the first game
>>735997667they kill human enemies in one hit which can be convenient. I never tried triggering voidouts deliberately but that's an interesting idea>>735997850there's a corpse disposal service at every distro center
>>735997850Dollman will nag at you and nothing will happen, if you leave a body for too long APAS will clean it for you and dock 1000 likes per body.

>>735997971No voidout even if you bring body to BT area? Makes sense but also a shame
DS1 making you go on multiple trips to incinerator if you ever shot up a demens camp was based.
>>735998865Bodies don't cause voidouts, human + bt results in voidouts
>>735999059>not bringing a truck to get rid of every single body in one trip
>>736000203There isn't enough space to fit all bodies from my experience.
>>735999896in DS1 you could either lure a BT into a mule camp or let a body rot long enough to spawn a BT, which would wonder to the body and void out the camp. I've never seen it happen in DS2, the bodies are removed after a while off screen.

That whole fight was funny compared to the frustration of the first one, when you figure out that taking a shitload of blood grenades will kill the minions allowing you to sneak up on his ass. If you DON'T take anything in (like my dumbass did) you can find three boxes of them around the arena and then it's sweating them and the second phase's effect if you don't place them well (also grab a launcher off one of the enemies if you stealth them right before that point also helps).>>735994990Yeah, Bridget tried to do good things, but like every organization evil shit happens that the CEO doesn't have purview of.

I've seen other anons say they haven't seen anything either. Is it bugged ?
>>735992405Basically to ruin your immersion and annoy you. It's fucking stupid.
>>736001145he has awesomephobsamphobia
>>735999896No, human ka returning to it's corpse causes a voidout and is what spawned BTs in the first place.
>jump off cliff in truck to get down quick>get stuck >go off jump really slowly>hit side off cliff fine because of chiral shenanigans>keep falling down to the ground>truck explodes>cargo smashed
>>736002098I saw most of these except for the nightmares, birthday scene, and the horror story with dollman. I wonder what triggers that. It's missing a nightmare that I saw where dollman screams the horizon dreamer song at you
>>736002830Some Anons' on here:>Truck goes everywhere, tho!
>>736002964Yes they do.>flip off mountain slope>crash and die
just unlocked fireworks lmao based
>>736002964it do
I feel like I kinda robbed myself by doing my first playthrough on TTW. I expected it to be like DS1 very hard, I didn't think it would turn every love tap from bosses into one shots. I ended up being frustrated for a lot of the story fights, missing cool screenshots occasions because I was boiling with seethe
>>736003654At the same time it's annoying traversal was still piss easy.
>
>>736003717That and cargo getting damaged when riding a vehicle and hitting a small rock at 1km/h, but I read that one is because of fucky physics. I also ended up summoning for every catcher fight because I didn't feel like putting the efforts, but even then they'd sometimes one shot me during summoning animation kek. The kaiju songs are their own experience and I don't hate it, but I love the game OST a lot more so I feel like I cucked myself out of hearing the BT boss musics which are so good in DS2
>>736003832Kino stare, kino second fight, but good lord the third fight dragged on way too long.
I haven't finished DS1 yet and won't start with this until then
>>736003201Fix your truck or you're fired, FedEx bro.>>736003654>do a post game Difficulty add>WTF ONE SHOTS!?Yeah, there's a reason Playtesters reigned Kojimbo in. It's not really meant for a first play.
>>736004285The first fight is ok on lower difficulties because you're not getting absolutely shredded by the AI if you break stealth.Honestly, his fights and bosses in general suck on higher difficulties because it's clear Kojima didn't do a balance pass.>Brutal or ITW>"S-rank: Sam takes 150% or less damage">ITW easily breaks that if you don't rollsloppa spam>Brutal will break it if you try to fight the bosses normally and take 4-5 hits.
>>736004437I intentionally forbid myself from fabricating or repairing vehicles
>>736004437Very hard was also added with DS1 PC release and I don't remember it making some fights this tedious. I even have fond memories of the whale fight on very hardOn another note, is there armor in DS2 ? The one to attach on the suit like thermal pads. I 5 star'd roughly half the shelters/cities, most others are 3/4 star, haven't seen armor yet outside of bandits having it
>>736004636like you even need to the fuckin things are everywhere
>>736004661exactly why I don't
People consider TTW problematic for fights? It's the only difficulty that makes ghost Mechs a proper threat and the only annoying fight with it set is the third Neil one.
>homo liberansI'm not gay
>>736004941Ghost mechs are hard as fuck with it on imo
>>735987783Do you have any, mr. Maam?
>>736004941I don't really have any significant problems with mechs on TTW because I didn't fight them until I got combat gloves but the boss fights in general all become one shots if you aren't prepared
>DS1>see a Sam-only order for 12 lbs of sleeping meds to The Elder>huh well im going right by anyway, thats what 1 crate?>10 fucking briefcases at 1.2 lbs eachI hope he fucking overdoses on these things
>>736005931be careful what you wish for
Yes or no, is the ending in ds2 a happy one?
>>736002349You mean the kung fu pizza man that gives you pizza dough capable of knocking out armored goons, that also lets you use Bison's psycho crusher didn't do that already?
>>735992405Kojima loves this vtuber, I hate it, what can ya do
>truck jumps really high sometimesWhy? Kept ruining my cargo.
I can't stop thinking about the fighting on the bridge>>736006324Happy with some sadness
>>736003945Yeah. I don't understand why they didn't expand the vehicle shit if they were gonna give them to us an hour into this game and make almost the entire map accessible to them. Like, for fuck's sake, add the ability for tyres to get punctured on rough terrain and make us cart a spare around and think about where we're driving. Add strain for going uphill at certain angles and enough strain makes the car blow... something, IDK, I'm not a car guy.
>>736001838I just took 3 rocket launchers on that fight and it was over pretty quickly for the first phase. It's pretty obvious a fight is going to happen though. It's not like Sam or I are gonna forget being sucked off into another world stepping out of the facility in the first game.>Sam we should go outside an investigateNo, fuck you Dollman. I know exactly what is going to happen when I go outside. I'm going to go to my room, rest, shower (after resting for some weird reason, not before like a normal human), then chug three cans of Arizona Ice Tea. >Sam it seems only seconds passed out here while hours passes in that world we were inYES I FUCKING KNOW SHUT THE FUCK UPDo the cryptobiotes in the room actually do anything? I only eat them because the buzzing in my left headphone annoys me.
>>736007372they satiate sams hunger somewhat
>>736007452No wonder Sam devoured that scorching hot pizza directly out of the oven in under 30 seconds. He's been surviving on bugs and the occasional apple the entire time.
>Think the tar cannon is a meme>It is a constant stun-locking stream of death with yuge ammo capacity that you can refill pretty much everywhereGod damn. Neil and his butt buddies didn't even get a chance to retaliate.
>20 hours and I just realized you can boost vehiclesno wonder this trike was so fucking slow
houston we have a problem
the road that refuses to be built
>>736010063Because you're missing 10 ceramics?
>>736010336i have poured my heart and soul into this section and still it rejects me
holy shit the pizza attacks are so fun
>got the coffin board yesterday>try to do some deliveries with it>fall more than 2 feet and the packages get tons of damageah...
>>736010583Skill issue, try not falling.
I don't like watchers. In 1 I used to let myself get caught then kill the boss for crystals and clear weather. But you can't do that now because watchers game over you. BTs suck now
>>736011356>because watchers game over youwhat?I was about to agree with you until this part
>>736011490If you let one grab you you void out
>>736011594no you don'tthey spawn their own catcher and you can kill it but it doesn't clear out the rest of the watchers
can't wait to be done with this jackass
Is there still a point to shooting through blood clouds after you get the BT effectiveness on MP rounds? Does it boost damage? Trying to trim my loadout and I've been noticing the blood nades aren't really doing much most of the time I carry them.
>>736011973you could taken a ride on the monorail and jumped off onto the islandyou can then build a zipline on the island to reconnect back to the monorail
>>736000987Well some of them have more enemies.
come at me bro
>>736012036you can't jump off there and I just got the zipline
>>736011995sure would've been nice if PS5 niggers actually did some research on the game mechanics. guess that's too much to ask from retarded wokefags though.tl;dr: you'll have to test yourself most likely
Why has no one made a mod to let you add your own songs to the in game radio? PLEASE MAKE IT
>you cant unlock that suit Sam wore in the openingFucking hell, Kojima
>Sam turns into a turbo autist whenever Tomorrow is in the cutsceneAnyone else noticed it? Whats up with that?
>>736000645He kind of is. Kojima Productions is finished once Kojima himself retires. Kojima fans are fans of the man himself, not games released under his publishing company.
>>735957542I find the game substantially easier than the first on wilder except at the very start when I could die in two hits, now I have the battle skeleton level 3 and it's a non issue again, heck even rainfall seems more lenient on cargo than ds1
>>736013371How about games made by people who know him and have worked with him.
>>736013719He hogs the limelight so nobody knows who the fuck they are
>>736013604Yeah, rainfall is a total non issue in DS2. Dont think ive ever had to use that repair spray after the tutorial.
>>736013801So? You don't know them because they haven't made any games yet themselves. They are there and he talked about them.
>worse performance>horrible LOD>lag when using scopesnixxon failed
>do the photo op cutscene>tomorrow says she loves it and is the only one that gives likesHmm........
>>736013719the one time he let them do their thing he had to call in Platinum to salvage the project
i fucking hate all this combat why the fuck was kojima pandering to americans with this game, fuck off I want my challenge to be overcoming a territorial goat on a mountain that headbutts my cargo not a buch of faceless robots
>>736014056Its unironically a beta test for kojimas not-mgs game
>>736014052>errmmmm something bad happened 15 years ago in another studio I guess it's impossible for people who aren't Kojima to make good games anymoreretarded
>turns out the evil mastermind is just another AI boomer kojima will never recapture the magic of metal gear solid 2
I like the song Geese
>>736014173anon he's an egomaniac with a celebrity complex, that one time he gave others free rein he had to call in external help to complete it. when he left they made Metal Gear Survive and a 1-to-1 remake with Delta. he's never going to let anyone use his name.
>>736014056It's once again the same syndrome as the first game. Travel and traveling being presented as some part of the journey, yet 90% of it has practically zero severe hazards, nor is the environment particularly interactive when it comes to all that.
>>736014361Him being an "egomaniac" had nothing to do with Rising having troubled development. It did because they tried to build a full fledged AAA game around weird and ambitious mechanic and got stuck. I don't think there was anything wrong with Survive but both of these games were made because Konami wanted them to.>he's never going to let anyone use his nameWhy would they use his name? What are you even talking about at this point?
>>736014252Yeah, best of the unrecycled stuff probably.
>>736011490Think he's talking about the big BT's with eyes. They don't spawn a catcher, the single tar puddle BT they summon (instead of the group of them a normal BT summons) just voids you out if it grabs you.>>736012340PS5 nigger here.According to my research shooting MP bullets does an increment of a coloured bar in damage while shooting MP bullets through a blood cloud does an increment of a coloured bar in damage.What the fuck do you want me to do cunt, it's not like they show you damage numbers, you fags are the ones who can find that shit out.
>It's a 'kojima ruins a chill drive by playing someone talking softly and pressing three piano keys a sentence' delivery.Fuck all the music in this game is trash.
fuck I really bricked myself by playing half the game on PS5 at releasewhy couldn't they just add save transfers ;_;
>>736014885trvke... indie sucks
>>736014803>They don't spawn a catcher, the single tar puddle BT they summon (instead of the group of them a normal> BT summons) just voids you out if it grabs you.It's still a catcherAlso>being caught by that weak ass enemyskill issue
>>736014598they're called Kojima Productions not Kojima and Friends Productions, the moment he retires that whole posse is going to disband or its just going to be a repeat of the Metal Gear is going through right now
>>736014979Anon clearly stated he enjoyed being intentionally caught then killing the catcher to instantly clear the BT zone. You're not the brightest, are you?
>>736014803>What the fuck do you want me to do cuntTest it out and see if you kill stuff faster. Shooting through the blood cloud without that APAS thing is a noticeable increase in damage. Unfortunately I don't have that APAS thing yet so I can't test out what the other guy was asking. Yet.
>>736015051More like the other guy is ESL because I know exactly what he is referring to except I don't get caught by the catcher that the watchers spawn. Apparently he thinks those are the same thing as the little tar people that drag you to the catcher.
>>736015030Did Warner Bros stop making movies when the founders died?Kojima has already talked about other people in the studio being given the opportunity to take the reins, so please shut the fuck up.
>>736001838>MGS4, Anon.mgs4 didn't have debra's bug face in it
>>736015194>except I don't get caught by the catcher that the watchers spawn.The post explicitly states there is nothing that they spawn. Are you retarded?
>>736015198he's been saying that since MGS2
>>736012236yes you can, just hold the button for it even if the prompt doesn't show>>736012340It's always funny when a long standing console game gets ported to PC and suddenly the game's glaring lack of a wiki comes to attention, and the host of myths surrounding game mechanics start suddenly getting dispelledRDR2 was the last one I played where it was BAD. Fucking gamefaqs posts saying every horse breed and even gender had different temperaments. Absolute fucking horseshit. Every horse was identical, the console players just got confused by their horse bonding level going back to 0 when they bought a new horse. Nothing datamined supported their notions of how horses worked at all. They just invented all of it.
>>736006526you obviously never faced an italian in cqc
>and this is Sam>he's got awesomeblossomphobia
>>736015313Ok? And it has already happened with MGRR (development started in 2009), even if it wasn't a perfect success.MGS being mishandled for past 10 years is not the fault of developers and is an issue shared with every other IP owned by Konami. The idea that an operation worth hundreds of millions of dollars will just cease to exist the moment 1 guy retires is fucking insane.
Really enjoying the game so far. Trying to 4 star all the structures before moving on in the story.
>>736015295Are you? Play the fucking game, dumbass.
>finally a music player \ but the music is worse>radial menu for structures \ but the game is much easier so you barely need anything>vehicles improved \ but the land is so straight and easy to navigate that even the shittier DS1 vehicles could work here>tons of apas enhancements yet the ones from DS1 director's cut are missing like the ability to permanently display a quest marker on the hud>you can kill whoever you want and anyone can dispose of corpses and "muh chiralium in the air" is not an issue anymore>all this forced metal gear-esque combat and very clunky stealth + obtuse phantom pain callbacks>absolute lack of any surprises what so ever, anyone with a brain would figure out who tomorrow is after 5 minutes and the whole cuckoldry story was pathetic compared to mads mikkelsen kino fightsI don't know, while the game is an improvement it feels like a 1.5 sidegrade and not a full step forward, it forgets a lot of the quality of life death stranding director's cut had and it pisses me off because it could very well be the final strand type game which means we'll never get the perfect strand game
>>736016005This was pretty much how I felt about it when I first played on PS5 at launch.Still in modern gaming it's good enough that a game doesn't completely gut itself for the sequel, the fact DS2 ONLY removed it's own liver and one kidney to appease normalfags is better than what could have happened.
>>736016478considering kojima is now working on that shitty horror game and another stealth game for xbox i have low hopes we'll get more comfy shit from him in the future
>>736015387>It's always funny when a long standing console game gets ported to PC and suddenly the game's glaring lack of a wiki comes to attention, and the host of myths surrounding game mechanics start suddenly getting dispelledGee I wonder why that happens when one platforming has datamining and the ability to expose shit in CE while the other has nothing but your eyeballs and spending 80 hours killing the same enemy over and over trying to figure out if you're doing 2% extra damage. It's a real mystery.
>>736016005Yeah. If there's a DS3, I hope we get a whole clean slate. Hell let me play as an average porter. That chapter in DS1 where Deadman took BB for recalibration, I was like oh shit avoid BT areas at all costs. It's gonna be like this meme if/when we play as tomorrow.
>>736016634How would they even implement her tar powers in gameplay?All I can think of is to hold the tar button while falling to dive into it instead of taking fall damage, and you getting free fast travel from anywhere.
>>736016756I hope that she's just a second Amelie, readying the chiral network for someone else to come through to connect, like these first two games. I hope they don't turn her tar stuff into a beat 'em game with some delivering.
>>735957239But I haven't even had Crimson Lunch yet
dollman is such a pointless character. only retards who can’t think could possibly like him. he’s like the quippy sidekick version of yellow paint.
>>736015198Did warner bros movies have memes like "the warner bros are gods"? Did they constantly show up in movies? Did their names show up all the time in their movies?
>>736017523kek
I don't care.
SoYou cant fabricate the rubber bullet shotguns n assault rifles? ive only found em on enemy campsI can use the MP shotgun and assault rifle against humans? since they are non lethals for some reasonThe red painted guns are Full lethal Am i correct?
>>736017812kys, hope you become never a dad
>>736017986This isn't 1 dude. I simply don't care.
>>736017815>The red painted guns are Full lethalNot when you use them. Any MP bullet weapons can become lethal though.
>>736016590Nah, there's also just the mindset. They don't approach things with a scientific approach. They make assumptions and create flawed tests. It has to do with the demo being 9-25 year olds who are low iq.
>>736002964>get tire upgradeTruck literally do be going everywhere now.
>>736018439it's truekinda OP honestly
For as much as I and everyone in this thread likes to shit talk the mobility scooter, it put in a lot of work here.
>>736018041FUCK YOU!
>>736017815A gun is only lethal if the anti humans stat is maxed out and the skull displays red. You can unlock and lock guns by doing what the pizza chef tweets about. MP guns are nonlethal because MP stands for "multipurpose," Kojima's fun way of saying "magic"
>video driver crash right as I'm stealth shocking the last guy to clear a campmixxon or whoever ported this is shit
>>736018680update your graphic card driver, mongo
>>736016756I imagine they'll just depower her for her game
>>736018728it's the latest one
How the fuck do I easily beat the robot dudes? I had to kill 6 for the story and died 2xIt's in the TTW difficulty btw I swear I'm not ass at videogames!!
>>735956806keep on keeping on
>>736019103die once so they lose detection and stealth kill them with combat gloves
Psycho Midwife?
>>736019103you can stunlock them with any grenade launcher
>>736019103Lv. 2 Shotgun to the head or legs
>>736019103>equip eletric combat gloves>punch them twice>they explodePlaying on To The Wilder, btw
Wait, so was Solid Snake fucking Sams wife?
>>735988496Man. I spent like 3 hours on this mission because of the giant hand BT boss fight that you kill/capture before the whale itself. I was trying to do the entire mission without taking any damage. Managed it but it took forever. The whale itself wasn't bad. But that hand.........
>>736018728>haven't updated drivers since mid 2025 or whatever>game doesn't crashfunny how that works huh
>>736021053nvidia drivers have been really bad lately, apparently
>>736021219yea which is why I avoid updating it. still on 23h2 too.
>>736021335I have the latest update version of nvidia drivers and I had 0 crashes so far in 60h+ playtime. So something is wrong on your end.
aside from pekora, I had literally no idea who any of the celebrity cameos were
>>736021770I think that Kojima this time didn't have a big budget like DS1 so he couldn't go and spend all that money to get a lot of cameos, I think that aside Pekora there's barely none
>>736021770he already got all the good ones for DS1, kek
>>736021770I knew about Hoshino Gen but aside from that only Pekora.
Every time I get a perfect rank on a delivery I half expect Kaz to congratulate me.
>>736021851No wonder Sam doesn't do anything fun in his room anymore. At most he just leans back and looks at you like "what you want me to tap my feet? Flex my arms? Nah."
>>735992405Wow, instantly removed from Wishlist.
why is this lil' nigga claiming credit for the shit sam did in all of his tweetsyour investigation, what investigation, you told me you had other shit to do and this one was too small time for you, what the fuck
>>736016756just copy splatoon>press right mouse to dive into tar and move rapidly under it>press again or release to pop back up, press space to jump from it and press left mouse to drag enemy in itez
>see tomorrow holding an apple>she manages to bite into it without it going bad>oh no it goes bad anyway, hm I guess she's training her powers and still needs to get the hang of itLITERALLY 2 SECONDS AFTER>dollman: SO UH YOU SAW TOMORROW IN THE HALL HOLDING THE APPLE HUH? YOU MUST UNDERSTAND SHE'S TRAINING HER POWERS BUT SHE HASN'T GOTTEN THE HANG OF IT YET!
>>736013156Autism streams crossed. Never a good thing.
>kojambles had the hero say the liquid snake line and the villain say the solid snake line kinooooo
>>736023090Japanese games always do this.
>>736023090>OH NO SAM YOU FACEPLANTED AND NOW YOUR SPAGHETTI IS ALL OVER THE PLACEObviousman has one job and that's to make you feel bad about the obvious shit happening on screen.
>>736023090Kojima actually thought DS1 was controversial because the average gamer was too dumb to understand it, so he added Dollman to explain everything that happens to the player like they're an ADHD zoomer.
>>736023407DS1 had Die-Hardman calling every 5 minutes doing that. At least Dollman feels more natural.
>>736023090Dollman is a disgrace of a character. That's not even the biggest offender.>Tumble and lose some cargo>dollman: "SAM LOOK IT APPEARS THAT YOU LOST SOME CARGO">Sam says that there's trouble ahead>dollman:"WATCH OUT SAM, THAT'S THE ENEMY CHOP- I MEAN THE ENEMY BASE"
>mfw getting all the pizza chef skills
>>736023694>THAT'S THE ENEMY CHOP- I MEAN THE ENEMY BASE
I used the monorail once or twice to transport materials in my entire playthrough.What was the point of that feature exactly? If I want to build road it's easier to just load Magellan full on materials, teleport, load everything to a truck and just drive the rest of the way.
>>736024059Getting the vast quantities of materials from the mines to the distro centers. The ones the magellan can park outside of, unlike the mines.
If there is a DS3 do you want South America, Asia, Europe, Antarctica, or Space?
>>736024271Europe
>>736024271India but nothing has changed because the BTs took one look, turned 360 degrees, and walked away
>>736024271Japanit will be cringekino because kojima won't understand why all the westerners just aren't getting the references and jokes>this BT sticks two fingers up Sam's asshole to steal his ka>no, prease to understand, is nippon folklore...
>>736024059It's good for standard orders or when you want to multitask.
>>736017683Yes, at the beginning of every movie, still do probably.Either way his name being in older games will have no bearing on Kojipro continuing to run after he retires you fucking schizo.
>keep finding chiral cannons mounted all over enemy basesaren't those lethal? how many people are stacking bodies? is this meant to bait people into using them?
>>736025432cant you burn bodies with the coffin board? its basically a portable incinerator
>>736014185>Implying he didn't
