Will Death Stranding 2 be remembered for decades?
No. Eventually people will realize that he was a hack and Fukushima was responsible for the best elements of MGS1 and 2 (he barely worked on 3 which was a prequel and reconned a bunch of shit, and he didn't work on 4 which is considered the worst one).
>>740382225I forgot it was a thing until you mentioned.
>>740382225kek most people dont even remember it exist
>>740382225Kojima is trashSenator Armstrong was right
The damage Death Stranding 1 has done to the games industry can't be overstated. Obviously the entire Metal Gear series damaged gaming, but Death Stranding amplified it by popularizing the use of real actors, not just as voice actors like previous examples, but scanned into the game.
>>740382448and yet Kojima is the only one to do make scanning look good
>>740382487>muh looks goodAdding actors to games makes them even less like games and more like movies. And movies are horrible.
>>740382225Well the jokes on him; the Death Stranding series are his most coherent game narratives. In truth there's practically nothing left unanswered by the time thre credits roll, even hinting at what might come next.
>>740382225the protagonist for his last games is named Sam Porter Bridges. who ends up working as a Porter for the Corporation called Birdgesbravobravo
>>740382448I see Uncharted and TLoU making every game be [shit] interactive-movies attempt with companions as being more damaging than that.
>>740382225I love this lil nigga. You know you do too. Don't lie.
>>740382582Where do you think those games got that from? It was Kojima and David Cage.
>>740382556Kojima invented the concept of symbolism
>>740382350This. Also notice how MGRR is way better and more grounded than Kojima directed MGS
>>740382225it hasn't even been remembered for the few months it's been out Hackjima
>>740382350Who's Fukushima of Snatcher and Policenauts?
>>740382350it's been a decade, it's not going to happen
>>740382728>MGRR is more grounded
>>740382225DS2 is like the Portal 2 of the franchise. I think people will still prefer the mood of the 1st one over the second.
>>740382225>chew on itaaaAAAA
>>740382841Policenauts and Snatcher are literally just shit like Lethal Weapon, Terminator, and Blade Runner rip offs. Snatcher is literally Invasion of the Body Snatchers. That's all Kojima does. That's why MGS3, the game that Fukushima barely worked on, starts with a fucking James Bond movie musical intro. Think about that shit. What people like about Policenauts isn't the story, it's the music, and anime visuals and setting. Kojima didn't even direct Snatcher.
Is Death Stranding 2 remembered now?
>>740382953YES. MORE GROUNDED
>>740383279a good and popular niche game will always be remembered in its niche
>>740383465What niche would that be?
>>740383241>Snatcher is literally Invasion of the Body Snatchers.Are you retarded or did you figure this out by looking at cover posters of both? Snatcher is way more like Blade Runner.
>>740383562strand games
>>740383562The dual tasking niche
s(hi)tranc(i)d games more like innit
>>740382225DS2 was genuinely a fart in the wind. Nobody talks about the plot of this game because half the story is Sam getting cucked by his hoe wife and they retconned amelie into a dindu. I won't even talk about the bald female power gang. If a western developer made it the outrage would have been massive. It's really sad because DS1 was great.
>>740383562Another upcoming Strand™ type gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmBTMYKMSKk
>>740383782amelie is even more evil in DS2 lol
>>740383972Didn't they say that bridge babies weren't her idea, and it was men from UCA who snatched pregnant women behind her back
>>740382225>chew on it/a/ here, do not trust washed up hacks who say shit like that
>>740384357/a/ here, you shounenspics do not represent us.
>>740384186they left the specifics ambiguous to make the Government (Bridges) seem even more sinister, especially with Mister Government being the face of it, but you can straight up tell that it was still her at the top, lol, even if she did feel bad and hide BB-00.
>>740382448>>740382546I just wish Kojima hired actors and made them act as characters in his games and not as his friends inbetween mocap sessions.
>>740385558They're not even his friends. He pays them to hang out with him and pretend they understand his broken english
>>740385664Can't you read the wordplay?I'll simplify it for you.>Kojima hires actors to act as his friends, not as characters in his games.i.e.>Actors play roles, carry out a script, it's called acting>Instead of directing the actors to play Die Hardmans, or Cliffs, or Sams, they are instructed to act as Kojima's friends.
The only thing memorable about this game was watching the cutscenes on youtube.
He thinks like this because brainlets big up MGS2. It was a hacky move to replace Snake via a bait and switch and then basically have the whole game be Shadow Moses, again.Yeah, the meta shit near the end is ok, but you can see how half baked it was considering they immediately move away from it in the sequel.
>>740386235Yep. Crazy how rabid Kojima defenders were back then.
>>740386495No, it’s revisionist history. No one who enjoyed the original liked that Snake got replaced with some whiney fag. But the game got glowing reviews because of the graphics and tech for the time. MGS is hard carried by its story and atmosphere, and MGS2 flushed that down the toilet because Kojima thought he was very clever.You don’t hear it on here as much because, unfortunately, most people posting here never played MGS2 on release so they already know about Raiden.
>>740382487>retard who only watched boss baby.redditimage Fuck off.
>>740384413>usKill yourself.
>>740382225>unless you chew on itdigital-copy bros, we got too cocky...
>>740384413Perhaps you need to chew on my post a little harder.
>>740382225Yeah I'll remember how the stupid gook killed Fragile and destroyed every fan's hopes of seeing them become a family.Fuck you Kojima you stupid piece of shit.

>>740390654That shit surprised me, I saw everything else coming but that just hit me out of nowhere.Pisses me off, Fragile deserved better.
>>740382225It's not even remembered 11 months later
>>740391603Put those in white font in a black background, flash them on the screen at random times, and you'll see that he's actually a genius.
>>740382225Death Stranding will probably be remembered as that weird walking game but otherwise it doesn't have nearly as much staying power as the Metal Gear series does
>>740386235what kojima understands and you don't is that what protagonist you choose locks you into a certain type of story. the colonel AI arc? doesn't work with snake, he's not green, he's not in a chain of command.
>>740391619Literally no reason for him to do that other than "subvert" your audience.I had a bunch of side deliveries to complete but the ending just destroyed any will I had to continue playing it.
>>740382225naw, maybe OD if its really good but thats being too hopeful. maybe his new spy game will be decent
>>740391963Well, at least one death was necessary to keep the themes of death and acceptance meaningful. But they should have killed Heartman instead.Sam just comes across as selfish now, all the women in his life are doing the hard lifting.
