BRAVO KOJIMA
>>739191590How does he do it?
Kojima invented the heart attack
>>739191590holy fuark...
Die Heartman :D
>>739191590*Death Stranding>*clink*
Well like most Kino-enjoyers, Kojima was also wishing Refn would die after making “Only God Forgives”
>>739191706that gut is quite something
>>739191706is Refn the father?
>>739191590i hate men that cry from mourning their own trauma - fucking disgusting
>>739191590how???
I look like Kojima IRL
>>739191982But you cried when you discovered you were trans so what's the difference
>>739191590did he really die if he's not dead
>>739192163The he would be called Undeadman and not Heartman, dummy
>>739192095SSRI time
FOX
>>739191982i hate women
I hope that Kojima becomes successful with DS3. I really want his game studio to work out just so we could get more Hideo games out of Kojima.
>>739191647lel
>>739191590>dying for 25 minutesIsn't around 10 minutes the resurrection limit without the brain suffering permanent tdamage?
>>739192898He was probably just unconscious anonIt's his job to overexaggerate
>>739192430For you
>>739191590The fact that your average retard still falls for this crap is insane. Kojima was never original or creative, for that matter.The only thing he's good at, just like Toby Fox btw, is "masking the derivative".Funny enough, once you do it successfully at a certain scale, you can get away with the dumbest shit.
>>739192898That’s for the brain. The heart can stop functioning and you still have a chance of coming back. But if the brain shuts down, it’s not turning back on
>>739194184>the only thing an artist is good is at making artWow, what an intelligent argument you made
>>739194184Who's Toby Fox? What? Go buy an ad and take a shower.
>>739194524Yeah no shit, genius.The point was that Kojima's talent isn't originality, it's presentation at best.He takes existing concepts, wraps them in enough style and pseudo-depth, and people act like he reinvented storytelling etc.(You) seem to be the target audience for his crap.
>>739191875
>>739191982he cried because he survived, he was so close to freedom
>>739194184Sorry that you didn't become an iconic videogame director.
>>739194931Kojima invented mpreg
>>739192525I agree that I’d also really like a DS3. DS2 was incredibly divisive, hell even DS1 had many people arguing about it. But I just fucking love portering so much. Even if the second game kinda trivialized it a bit, I still greatly enjoyed it. Nothing more addicting than jumping on my truck and clearing out every single shelter of their online cargo. My only hope is that Sam doesn’t come back. Don’t get me wrong, Sam Bridges is unironically one of my favorite vidya characters ever, simple as he is. But that’s exactly why I want them to lay him to rest. His story could’ve had a happy ending with the first game, and they could’ve just gotten another protagonist for the second game. And Kojima likes going to his Epstein Island parties to meet all kinds of celebs, he could very easily grab another Norman Reedus. Hell, Neil Vana could’ve just replaced Sam as the protagonist. I don’t know, man. I just wanna keep delivering cargo, fixing the roads, and punching MULES. But I can only play Death Stranding 2 so much after having already 100%-ed it before it starts to become pathetic
>>739194931Dios mío, el Gordinflón de los Video Juegos
>>739191590So gookijima put a curse on refn?
motherfucker can see the futurehe is fucking with us
This reminds me of when Trump got Covid and people started making memes about how Kojima predicted it since the president from the first Death Stranding gets deathly ill or something.
>>739195417>this is what walking simulator fags actually believejesus christ
>>739192898He's danish bro, they're already brain damaged due to their language so they're immune. A dane could be dead up to 24 hours and then revived.
>>739191590
>>739192513those men ARE women
>>739195230I fucking wish
>leaking heart wtf
>>739195982>retard got caught in the retard filter As it should be
>>739194184Kojima invented Michael Biehn.
>>739196202Still can’t believe Kojima invented women. Truly the Picasso of our times
>>739191706Male Pregman
>>739196202
>>739197168>>739197074it's canon that tomorrow doesn't like to wear shoes btw
>>739195417>>739192525I doubt we will get a DS3 by Kojima (and I hope we don't). He's old and already has Physint and OD in development, and DS2 wasn't so huge a financial success to warrant a money making sequel. He also clearly ran out of ideas for DS2 since it rehashed almost everything from the first game.I really love the Death Strandings, but for the underlying gameplay and not all the Kojimaisms. I want someone else to try their hand at it.
>>739191982
>>739195417I've played it and liked it but it is quite clear that DS2 is a case of 'DLC/Expansion idea forced into a full AAA game.' Most of the praise for DS2 can be considered complimentary towards DS1's gameplay (weather system, QoL fixes, better combat). If Kojima really wanted to make a new 'strand-like' game he should've focused on improving the online system or even the mediocre physics systems for vehicles.
>>739191706>>739191875>>739191948The man who delivers
>>739191590Kojima is a time traveler but because of the restraints placed on them he can't outright blurt out that he is one
>>739200713>Kojima directed "The one"FFFUUAAARRRKKKKK
>>739197218https://youtu.be/BIftASJZi4E
>>739201069did you apologize for your words and deeds?
>>739198074DS2 has one of the worst openings to a video game sequel I've played and what you said about DLC/Expansion is exactly why. I swear, the only way to make it even somewhat decent is if you play 1 and 2 back-to-back which I'm sure not a lot of people did and including me (played it 1-2 years before this release). Just throw you into the game, expect you to be familiar with everything like you finished 1 the day before. Kojima is a very bad writer.
>>739197454I vaguely remember hearing something about how Kojima was gonna pass the torch down to his team in regards to Death Stranding. We might still get a DS3, but PhysInt might very well be Kojima’s final game ever. >>739198074Fair enough. Neil Vana does feel like a lamer Cliff Unger. And Higgs showing up and blasting off like Team Rocket like four times wasn’t exactly full of originality
>>739201139I don’t get what you mean. Are you saying DS2 just throws you into the fire without teaching you anything? Because, if anything, I feel like the game beats you over the head with things both you and Sam should already know. Literally every game mechanic and bit of lore gets reintroduced to you like you didn’t already know it. And if you didn’t know, then great, now you do. >Hey, Sam, remember PCCs? Yeah, I know you’ve used them hundreds of times but let me teach you about them all over again >Hey, Sam, remember the Death Stranding? I know we spent the entire past game explaining its lore but let me just explain everything to you again in case you forgot
>>739201139>>739201551I found DS2's opening to be way better paced than the first game, which for the first 2 hours was mostly cutscenes.And the Minus 61 intro set the bar high.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Euf7j2o8Ipk
>>739201249>Kojima was gonna pass the torch downHe said that about MGS games as well, yet still kept his fingers in the pie. He already has a DS3 concept document and I doubt he'll let another director go off script.
>>739194184wow Kojima is good at drawing
pretty sure you wouldn't come back from 25 minutes of deathit's a few minutes and after that your brain is toast
>>739191590Kojima invented heart attack
>>739191706Kojima with the titan body
>>739191706What the fuck does that even mean
>>739191641He has to be a time-traveler.
>>739200713why is right Kojima standing in a subway tunnel right infront of a running train
>>739191706Been eating too much American food I see.
>>739191590one might say he left death stranded
>>739191590Cool story bro.
>>739191982women cry tears of men trauma too. they're just mad the only way they can get a man to cry is by breaking his heart. even then he's not crying over her, he's crying over himself being dumb to trust a hoe that didn't trust him.
Waiting for Kojima to design some horny alien catgirls before the next UAP drop.
>>739191706he's wrong
>>739202559COOL BIRD
>>739191590>NWR: " I-I don't think I can work with you any more Kojima san, your presence is making me uncomfortable">Kojoma: "haha you're funny Heartman. Hey, I want to see you method act" *zaps electricity from his fingers*
>>739191706Frick
I wonder if Refn is glad DS2 isn't popular enough that people are making porn of his daughters.
>>739194931Ah, I see now
>>739202760It's highly likely he was rushed to the hospital and was instantly put on medical support to make blood flow in his brain while his heart was effectively stopped.That's an oversimplification but I bet the fucker heard his heart wasn't beating for 25 minutes and assumed it meant he died for 25 minutes.
>>739191706faggot
>>739191706Please no.
>>739191590incrediblewow
>>739191706goddammit
>>739191706That gut is fake right?
>>739191641Time travel, unironically.
>>739192898They probably artificially kept his heart pumping
>>739191706
>>739194184Sounds easy, you must be successful too if you figured it out right? :)
>>739191647FOOXDIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE
>>739203420Did anyone ever figure out what liking during cutscenes actually does?
>>739195982I hate secondaries that use this term incorrectly. I swear it's a psyop by faggots that create actual walking sims
>>739201934this. I do like DS1, but I love that DS2 just goes straight into it, so to speak. And yeah, the opening of DS2 is fucking absolute fucking kino
>>739198074I've always said that the most reasonable direction for a sequel is to focus on walking mechs. Keep the walking gameplay but escalate the scale and introduce all kinds of wacky walking robots with unique walking mechanicsCars and bikes simply don't fit in this formula, they're like the "skip gameplay" button
>>739194825Remind me how many games deconstructed vydia sequels before MGS2. You might not like his style but his influence in driving the genre beyond mere gameplay is unsurpassed.
>>739201139Did you seriously get filtered by the start of DS2? Lemmie guess, you decided to just run straight down the mountain you start on and ate shit?
>>739191706Oh lawd he coming
>>73919159025 minutes? That's a lie. He'd a vegetable. At 1 minute you risk brain damage but at about 4-6 minutes it is permanent/irreversible/irreparable brain damage. At 10 minutes survival is unlikely and brain damage is widespread meaning even if the person is brought back they will not live a fulfilling life. At 25 minutes though? Nonsense. Fucking liar.
>>739207352If anything, Death Stranding is an autism simulator. I mean, Sam literally has autism
>>739201139How is it bad? Pacing was leagues better than DS1 and it was an incredibly satisfying opening after how 1 ends.>>739201551This. Main reason I dislike dollamn from gameplay pov. >hey sam you can do this
>>739194931
>>739207326It likes the cutscene, duh
>>739207878For what purpose
>>739207573No he doesn't he has athemtngoepghgeongoepbiia
>>739207660>dollamnIt really should have been an optional thing, like tap down to get a context sensitive hint. I have a love-hate relationship with Dollman. There are some scripted scenes and conversations where he can be very poignant and adds a lot of the scene. Then there are all the times he's just very annoying and repetitive.>>739207925To show that you like it.
>>739191641Freemason ties
>>739208018Small pet peeve but he really took away some oomph from all the Neil cutscenes for me with his commentary
>>739191982funny enough, this is why so many modern men are alone and miserablethey have no outlet for these feelingsthe "men don't cry or have feelings" thing is a modern invention If you look back and read historical letters and biographies, you would call those men gay pussies even though they were the men who founded the modern world and actually accomplished shit
>>739208064Strand-type Ties
>>739207925Same reason you have likes on youtube videos I guess
>>739208670I don't recall anything ever being done with cutscene likes, you don't see what part of the cutscene other players like nor are you able to review that info. Just seems odd
>>739208018I just hated his; "Call outs for the modern audience bullshit".>"SAM, I know you just got skewered by that huge ass ghost mech tentacle so hard the screen shook, an explosive sound was made, and you crashed hard to the ground and you now have a beeping sound because your health is low. BUT I'LL STILL SCREAM AT YOU TO HEAL JUST IN CASE IT WASN'T OBVIOUS ENOUGH THAT YOU TOOK DAMAGE!"
>>739191706Nooo
>>739191706Shoo shoo creativeman!
>>739208898>modernFable 1 did this shit back in 2004>YOUR HEALTH IS LOW, DO YOU HAVE ANY POTIONS, OR FOOD?
I had fun. t. 108 hours played
>>739191982Foid moment
>>739209364>Homo Libcongrats anon
>>739191706LMAO fucking Kojima
>>739208737I thought the like was just a like for the whole cutscene, not just parts?I think overall it's just a meme. They could potentially use the data to see what cutscenes people liked for development on their next games
>>739192898Yes, he's clearly lying
>>739208167I think it was funny as hell>Hey Sam, he porked your wife, but what's the big deal? Some people pay for that!
>>739202612to inspire indians to kill themselves in the same fashion
>>739209139Gauntlet was doing it back in 1985>RED WARRIOR NEEDS FOOD BADLY
>>739191706Kojima... Easy on the sausage
>>739191706Fucking nigger
>>739192898have you seen his movies?
>>739191706God dammit kojima>Gets casted as Deadmom-man
>>739196921yeah it just does that sometimesneat, right?
>>739191982Women will say shit like this and then wonder why the entire planet and every major religion has imposed strict social restrictions on their sovereignty since the dawn of time in every place humans have ever lived.
>>739191982Do you want them to mourn others traumas then? That would be extremely gay so stick to crying over your own
>>739208167this holy shit, that was the worst offense. the neil scenes are supposed to be serious and emotional then this fucking faggot esl just starts yapping away and ruins the mood. holy fuck, fuck dollman, such an asinine character
>>739207326It's neat
>>739191590La Li Lu Le Lo!?
>even kojima calls you a fag for beating the game what the fuck was his problem bros
>>739191706Nigga
>>739191590holy shit what a faggot
>>739191590Reminder that Kojima had to rewrite Death stranding 2 fully after being afraid of predicting shit like he did in DS1. It scared him so much that he still predicted things in the rewright. Kek.
>>739191590I have learned the soul is real and now I will bring agi into this world for our benefit. Everything changes this day. Don't look back.
>>739191706dsfsd
>>739213027>wonderWomen don't give a shit. They'll ruin everything nice we'll have and when shit hits the fan they can just go "uwu, me housewife, you go out and die" and you will.
>>739214048
>>739191647Funny thing is that was completely misrepresented because he cant speak english well. He meant he came up with the idea of the camera so players can take pictures in MGS1.
>>739191641not even the first time but every time. He's somehow predicting the future in every game.
>/v/ when you tell'em their mommy wommy is dyingGrow up.
>>739191706this is fake news
What the fuck was going on in this scene >time stops around them when they start fighting>strings on Tomorrow which are never explained>time resumes when Higgs is BTFO>for everyone else must've looked like Higgs instantly got on the ground as soon as he touched Tomorrow>nobody ever questions thisThe strings on ghost mechs and the red samurai make sense but on Tomorrow not really. Everything in DS1 was overexplained then in 2 there's shit like this
>>739216797Honestly, I just turned my brain off in these scenes. They look cool but, like, I have zero fucking clue what’s going on or why I should care. It’s like going to an indie wrestling show
>>739217264>>739216797Yeah, a lot of the cutscenes seem like they were just shot for the trailers because Kojima thought they looked cool. The whole Samurai business makes no sense, but Shinkawa drew a cool piece of concept art so it had to get shoehorned in somehow.
>>739214520Yes, but they're genuinely stupid enough to believe misogyny is unfounded with a straight face.
>>739191590I fucking clapped
>>739217264>>739217908I'm pissed that no character ever asks about what happened. The strings in general feel like they were supposed to be a lot more important
I wish the ghost mechs had more interesting spawn locations so you could play around with them. It's a shame they're all out in the middle of an open area standing in a circle.
>>739191989Based but why is there a random section of brick wall?
>>739218267It's retarded how strong the electric traps are. I love it.
>>739207352Kojima games get some of the worst shitposting here by people who don't play games. He was le movie man after MGS4, so every game since is "hold the stick forward until cutscene" for them, despite his following games being super gameplay heavy. If anything I wish DS2 was more of a walking simulator, I only discovered the really fun gear like the stabilizers in the post game. DS3 should give the player crazy movement tech earlier in the game and try to make huge orders more interesting than driving a truck from point A to B.>>739213487I couldn't take the Neil scenes seriously because the subplot is literally that Lucy is wildly unprofessional and a massive whore.
>chilled cargo on floating carrier>carrier gets close to sam when climbing slopes>wearing thermal pads>CHILLED CARGO GETTING WARMER!STOPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA>>739219314They already have designs for some sort of mech vehicles that were ultimately not included in 2. There's a camel looking one
>>739191706fuck you
>>739220297Do you know if the DS2 full artbook is available somewhere online? I'll take even the ghetto version right now
>>739196202>>739197168i hate women so much it's unreal
dont lclick
I literally had a dream where Kojima handed me this weird device and said "This will be the next big fashion item for men. This is your chance, strike while the iron is hot" or something like that. It looked like a holster for a gun, one that keeps the gun visible and at a moment's reach like what cops use. It loops through the man's belt, making it secure. But the leather material thing, instead of being pistol shaped, it was in the shape of a phone. It was a simple phone holster, but beefed up and had a tactical appearance, with the aesthetic looking like something Kojima himself would have designed. I remember very distinctly when I turned around the streets were full of dudes with kojimaholsters and they made these satisfying clicky "latchy" sounds as guys were holstering and unholstering their phones. I forget 999/1000 dreams but this one I remembered. It's been maybe a month or so since the dream.
>>739191706kojimbo you hack
>>739221020Last time I checked the full version wasn't uploaded anywhere. There wasn't even a light digital artbook this time
>>739191641if you're willing to dive into the world of Carl Jung (of Persona/Archetype/Shadow) fame. Kojima is unironically one of the rare people deemed to have a strong connection to the Collective Unconscious. A mythical universal thread that contains all knowledge and feelings of everyone across time and space.Due note: one of the last examples Jung gave of these types of people was Adolf Hitler (pre-WW2)
>>739214048thank u doggie

Shinkawa makes Fragile look way too sexy. Also I feel like we would have gotten the unicycle if they abandoned the whole shooting while driving thing
I mean look at this power armor. We should have gotten cooler exoskeletons once we started busting up ghost mechs.
>>739221945Kojima really lucked out when he picked Shinkawa (at the time, some no-art recent art graduate). To be his lead art director

>>739203686Source on this?
>>739191706dude, no... please. no...
>>739226572p. sure it's AI
>>739191982While I agree with you and you're objectively correct, almost every single person who has briefly died or been in a near-death state similar to it always, without fail, starts weeping when they think back to that moment. I've seen some wise and stoic old men as well as young and brash military guys instantly turn into sopping pussies within seconds of them recalling their moment with death. I think it's quite possible that, despite how much humanity thinks it understands and prepares for death, that we're actually nowhere near ready for what waits on the other side. I think the state of death might be 10 times more nightmarish than even the most pessimistic poet would write about. If that's the case, it would mean anytime something or someone dies and we're all siting around saying "at least it was quick" "oh he just passed on", the person, or perhaps any creature, is experiencing pain that no amount of training or teaching on earth could ever even come close to preparing them for it. It is very likely that there actually aren't any fates worse than death.
>>739207528>>739192898I'm going to assume he was getting CPR. Possibly even happened at the hospital if he had earlier symptoms.

>>739221483>a movie director trapped in the body of a game developerEndless cutscenes and movie autism aside, what differentiates Kojimbo from the Neil Druckmans and David Cages of the world is that his games are actual fucking games first and outlets for his frustrated film-making desires second.
>>739221947>But do it in privateYou are not loved by the people you surround yourself with, you might think you're individual who can't be ground down by the man but you're exactly what they want, someone that will take everything they throw at you until you eventually die poor and alone.I was recently divorced from my wife of 16 years and cried when people asked about it for about 10 minutes, the people around me lifted me up and let me know I will always be a good part of their life no matter what ill befell me, we went camping, drinking and spent our weekends together for the next moth and half. I grew even closer with the people I knew outside of my dogmatic romantic interest, I felt humanity, and appreciated the beauty of being around people, and I'm still making the time to spend with them to this day, because everyone suffers, and to let others know you're capable of such a thing is to become human, not so that they can lord your weakness over you, but to let you know that our finite time is best spent in the moment and with those you love. We are not great people, especially here, but we are people none-the-less. Shake of the feeling that everything is malice and embrace the people that love you, and you will be happy.
