Will Death Stranding 2 be remembered for decades?
Probably not it was pretty forgettable. Felt like dlc for the first game. I have no idea how it took 6 years to make
I didn't buy it because I hate vtumors.
>>741335410Yeah, as a meaningless flop that shits on the themes of the first game and couldn't even win at his boyfriend's game show
>>741335410Like it or not, Death Stranding is one of the best games from our current gen. To me Kojima and Death Stranding embody what videogame development should be all about. Trying new things to bring an interactive story with interesting gameplay, throwing conventions out of the window by letting your creativity run loose and in this regard, Kojima delivered. That panel with Kojima, Mikami and Suda from 2007 aged so well. Both Kojima and Mikami spoke on how they longed for creative liberty as Suda had - to make "games that don't necessarily sell". And look now, Kojima creates Death Stranding, one of the most bold and ambitious games in our recent generation.
>>741335684It's a walking sim
>>741335684So what you're saying is be la creatividad.
>>741335484COVID.
The only games he made that will still be remembered are MGS1-3
>>741335684He should've made a game that was fun to play instead
>>741335410Nah DS2 really shows that he cannot make sequels. He needs to stick to one off projects per vision.
It will be remembered as a Kino Simulator
>>741335684Auteur devs make the best games. Death Stranding and Abe's Oddysee are among my favorite games ever and neither one plays quite like anything else.
>changes the plot because the first one came true, just like all his games' stories>makes a game where AIPAC loses
>>741335484Even with all the publicity you genuinely have no idea how much time kojima spends paying celebrities and trannies to hang out with him
>>741335410Yeah for being prentious shit Kojimbo is finished
>>741337563APAC isn't really a stand-in for AIPAC. I kean, the similarity is clearly intentional, between the name and the logo based on that of the East India Company, it's clearly meant to invoke a colonialist organization. But they aren't a foreign lobby group.
>>741335410Then he chews every time he sucks one? Damn
>>741335560>themes of the first game>he's Sam Porter Bridges because he's a porter and he makes bridges>his mom is Bridget, heads of BridgesPowerful themes and subtlety.
>>741335410not by me. i loved the first game but droppped the second game like 30 minutes in
I thought it was kino except how they did that one thing with BB that was really fukin gay
>>741335410What will be remembered is how he stormed out like a primadonna when Expedition 33 sweeped all the awards. He's got so incensed he hasn't even had his dick sucked by Geoff in months.KWAB
>You won't understand unless I chew on it.Does he still upload pictures of hamburgers he's eaten? No you don't have to post them all we only have 480 replies left.
One day the world will discover Death Stranding. Somebody popular is going to say something, memetic linkages will fall into place and people will realize that 10 years ago a game spoke of today. Of course DS1 and 2 are forgotten, they've yet to be known at all.
>>741335484This poster did not chew on it.
>>741335896It's THE walking sim
But do I want to understand turd?
>>741339713What are you on about? They are pretty successful games.
>>741341102i played 2 and saw so much money being constantly thrown at the screen constantly i dont think they're making that budget back
can someone just tell me whether either DS1 or 2 have trannies in it? I played death stranding one in full (100+ hours) and didn't see any trannies but there could be side characters I missed. If the second game also doesn't have any trannies then I'll be able to play it with a peace of mind. The reason I ask is obviously because he hangs out with trannies and hunter is definitely involved in a new game in some way and so I want to know at which point I can stop playing kojima games.
>>741341282when sam gets to the maternity facility, debra wilson explicitly tells him he was a trans man all along and cuts to a flashback to his visions where he gets a c-section scar in the first game
>>741341259I don't know, honestly. I think the DS games are a lot cheaper than they look. Aside from their lavishly directed cutscenes and a couple of big, but infrequent setpieces, they seem a lot more sparse than other open world titles. Low regular enemy variety, no NPC's, extremely minimalistic quests, made on a licensed engine. I think they just look more high budget then they are, because when they go big, they go really big.
>>741335410There's a second one?
>>741335410Wasn't even remembered for 2 months.
>>741335410That's what Kojima said to Geoff when he was drizzling his pre-cum on to Geoff's luscious and eager DSLs.
>>741341102 Not very successful. The larger gaming community didn't give DS1 a chance and DS2 even less. The franchise didn't even reach Dark Souls level popularity so Elden Ring tier pop is out of reach.>>741341259 If it had been a financial disaster you bet every detractor would have jumped on the occasion to shove it in everyone's faces for some mean lulz. Yet nothing of the sort. Mere forgetfulness equates to mild success, not a blockbuster. At least it's not mainstream so it only belongs to a precious few fans.
>>741341481could be. im thinking all the celeb appeareances must be super expensive. norman reedus and lea seydoux must charge a ton, same with ellie fanning and troy baker. film directors probably did it for cheaperthere are some songs they comissioned to chvrches and caroline polachek which must have costed a fortune as well
>>741339713I was excited for Death Stranding before it released, but the marketing for it constantly just being Kojima showing off which of his latest Hollywood friends were in the game got on my nerves continuously to the point that I had lost interest when they finally showed the actual game, despite thinking the game looked kind of interesting.
>>741335410It wasn't even remembered after a week
>>741341746That's shallow. You should play it. I've never browsed twitter.
>>741341789What does twitter have to do with anything
>>741341819Twitter is where anon saw pictures of Kojima with stars didn't he.
I think about it every day.
>>741341838No, for a while every trailer of the game heavily featured Kojima's latest celebrity pal. I remember well being eager to see the actual game just to get 'Please be excited for Guillermo Del Toro in the game', 'Please be excited for Mads Mikklesen in the game' with no sign at all of what the game component of the game entailed.
>>741335684>Death Stranding is one of the best games from our current gendoenst mean much
>>741341848How unfortunate.
>>741341909You mean DS1. The first gameplay showcase happened like 1 month before release. Nobody had any fucking clue what the game even was, i rmember.
>>741335560>the man who's built nothing criticizes a man who's built for 30 years
>>741341909>>741342021i remember they showed some footage of sam walking around shortly before release and the little hype it had died that day. it was most popular when they released the first trailer early in the ps4 gen and people expected a horror game
>>741339742Fuck off steakmund. Uh, sirloinjima I guess.
>>741342093It was tailored gameplay and not indicative. Raw gameplay was kept until legit 1 month prior. DS1 was most popular after release when tubers were making their reviews, though even the most honest reviewers treated it like some buttplug shaped table ornament (it must be art to somebody). Then when it released on PC so two popularity spikes.
>>741342461To be fair, Kojima was being pointlessly vague about the gameplay and basically went out of his way to pussyfoot around just openly saying "You play a deliveryman in the post apocalypse".
>>741342249I'm hungry for some portlets, some hamburden.
>>741342798Plus Kojima is known for subversive advertising at this point anyway.
>>741342798True true. He likes to be weird and wanted his game be called weird.For anything to be "interesting" it first needs be "weird".
>>741335410Kojima's just from a different time, when his hit games were truly hits because the market was monolithic and he was a standout innovator. Even if I think he's the vidya George Lucas, he's still oldschool and trying to create something original in a market saturated by genres and clones.
still cringe.
>>741335410As a standalone game, 2 is just a standard sequel, more of the same with improvements and new mechanics, it's not a bad sequel but it's not a game changing sequel.Death stranding as a series is pretty solid overall tho.
>>741338719A major theme is the salvation of humanity through the system which is unique within our modern storytelling landscape since The System is always portrayed as the antagonist and we spend the game destroying the evil system and then we kill Basically-Sauron.In DS we build the system, a system controlled by humans and not the other way around. DS2 is the antithesis to the thesis of DS1 by presenting "here's how good intentions pave the road to hell".
>>741343239what does unc say?
>>741343315It confused even the fans. We have a protag drowning at the depths of depression and the tone of the game is "sunny vacation in Australia", we have photorealistic 3D actors playing out scenes you'd see in a Slice of Life Moe anime. The music selection is full-on eclectic, the landscape is various biomes smashed together, it's difficult to make out DS2. It's a better game in parts and also a worst game in parts, i'll be critically honest i can't tell if it's a good sequel. I know i love DS2. It doesn't try to replace DS1.
>>741343467>good intentions pave the road to hellIsn't that just a repeat of DS1?
>>741344404It is not because in DS1 it was a failure of the system that triggered the apocalypse at the end of the game. Amelie is the forces of nature independent of human will. Higgs is defeated long before that shit goes down.In DS2 the problem is human error, bad actors who take control of the system, APAC and then Higgs do this. Now you see the parallel with what's been happening in the tech industry with those ideologically charged corpo lords talking like they can and should save society through their apps and services.
Death stranding wont even be remember in 10 years.
>>741335410It's fucking shit. I only tolerated Kojima because he put out stealth action games like MGS.Not for nip cock sucking like this>>741335684I have sworn off all of his games for the future.I'm praying that Ubisoft will bring Splinter Cell back so i can get my fill elsewhere. I don't trust those retarded nips at Konami to give me anything. If anything their reboot of MGS would just be a shitty Hideki Kamiya game and it would just be themed with codec calls and UI sounds.
>>741344925I never had fun playing metal gear games, death stranding is more fun.
>>741345015MGS is only important to me for it's role in the stealth genre. Aside from Splinter Cell there was practically no competitors or clones that lived up to it and quite a few tried but failed. Hitman is the other influential game of the era.
>>741335410
>>741343619rants about trump
>>741335410Who?
>be watching video linking AI automatons to 18th century mechanical turk styled automatons >segues into subject of the apparent breakdown of our imaginaries reheating old golemial phantasms >be reminded of death stranding and its fresh take on futurism how it demarks itself from common current sci-fiOh no faget it's not going away. DS is the elephant in the room.
>>741336278He did.DS' gameplay is addictive as fuck!
>>741335410I still see MGS threads all the time, people are still making MGS gameplay videos and essays and memes. I see zero discussion for either Death Stranding anywhere. Safe to say it won't
>>741335410I still got the original death stranding in the brain, for what it’s worth.
>>741347952I thought the metaphors going on there were more interesting and more personal. I didn't follow DS2 as closely though. I was kind of surprised he went for a sequel.
>>741337291Pizzadaki masu
>>741338719The major theme of DS1 is Sam coming to terms with the death of his wife/their baby.Over the course of the game he opens himself up to humanity and finds a new "family" with Deadman and his BB.The ending of DS1 is him figuratively saving "his" baby by literally saving BB. The weight of the first game is that Sam opened himself up to others, found something worth living for, and was able to overcome his guilt by saving a random baby he had connected with, that had been discarded by the society he'd originally shunned.The message of DS2 is that nothing really matters because no one really dies (robbing any weight from the Deadman scene at the start of the game and the Fragile scene at the end), and oh yeah, actually the random baby he saved in DS1 was his real daughter all along because Kojima doesn't have a tard wrangler to stop him from writing soap opera tier twists.
DS3 when?
>>741350794>death stranding opens the world of the dead>dead and living intermingle catastrophically>yooo why no one really dies
I'm doing a no vehicles no player structures run of DS1. It's been really fun so far. Anyone do a no vehicles no structures run of DS2? I'm wondering if it will be boring given that the terrain is much flatter.
What about that other Kojima game? The "horror" game with the tranny? Did that one even come out?
>>741335410It was forgotten about after a week.
>>741351431Nope, still in production.
>>741341680Fuck souls, the normies hopped on fromsoft dick and since then Miyazaki hasn't made a game of substance>Herro, I no understanfo engrish>fairy tale onry make haff sense>everything try kill you, everyone who's still sane dies or tries to kill you>repeat this Exact formula for 5 games.>>741339713Is correct, in 15 to 20 years Gen Alpha and the gen z spawn will appreciate DS1 & DS2 far nore than anyone here fould, the world will go through events that finally give Kojima games context and that's how it's always worked.
>>741343239Prophetic, isn't it.
>>741335410Death Stranding 1 and 2 are some of the best games I've ever played.That being said, I wish they had been two very long movies instead that somehow keep the feel you get while playing the game, the story, music, art direction and atmosphere.It's an amazing experience from start to finish and I wish more people could see it instead of being "trapped" in the video game world.I know A24 are making a movie about it, but it's and original story and not about Sam (which I think is a bad decision. The actors are getting older, but they could still pull it off)
>>741352058Maybe when dead facebook people come back as AI mimicks we'll feel the death stranding.I think the context is already here because DS was written from its own context but people are dazzled and distracted so they don't have hindsight on current events. Reminder cyberpunk is from the 80's, it's legacy sci-fi and we're here 40 years later pretending it's a future aesthetic but cyberpunk is the past.
>>741352535Modern society is way more advanced than people dreamed of 40, 50 or 60+ years ago. It's just because we don't have flying cars, jetpacks and rayguns it doesn't look futuristic.Showing somebody a smartphone back in the day would make people lose their shit
He's too far up his own ass to make something as good as Metal Gear ever again.
>>741352686We're in the middle of another logistical disaster and cyberpunk works hardly focus on logistics or am i wrong?The porters are suffering and cannot deliver. Brigands, armed survivalists are fighting over the route, Sam help us.
I wish I could have actually seen bots doing deliveries in either game. I mean without explicitly setting them up to do so. Kinda like seeing porters in the wild. Would have been cool to have seen something like "FartHuffer69's delivery bot" in my world.
>>741335410yes
>>741335410I forgot about it until just now. It has no artstyle of its own so I don't think it will be remembered.
>>741354005Why don't they just make killer squads to get rid of all those brigand and survivalist faggots ? Incinerating bodies isn't even a big deal in 2 anymore
>>741357576It's implied that NPCs fight and do stuff but obviously it doesn't happen on the game map, imagine the western style open world mess if it did. Samson Hook head of security didn't get jäkked by eating cryptobiotes in his bedroom.
>>741357576I'm sure it's probably hand waved away in the lore somewhere. It's dumb as shit that killer groups are just allowed to exist. Hell even bandits existing is silly. At some point Bridges should have been like>Alright you fuckers are too much of a hassle. We're just gonna deal with hauling your bodies to the incineratorHell I would have done it asap as I could, and I didn't have a whiny bitch little baby strapped to my chest.Also if a bandit dies what do they do?>Aw shucks, can we use your incinerator? Our friend here died of transmissible spongiform encephalopathyI would guess that they'd burn the bodies somewhere outside of their camps, but we never saw any funeral pyres in our travels. Which makes me think more that they just drop the bodies off at a distro center and let them deal with it.
>>741358683There's no mention of NPCs going the lethal route. It made more sense before to be non lethal when bodies had to be burned in remote locations. In 2 you can waltz in any distro center with a truck full of corpses and get rid of them right there, no high amount of chiralium appearing in the air anymore due to the burning>>741359051>if a bandit dies what do they do?Their buddies probably chuck them into the closest tar pit. Did distro centers in australia even have incinerators before drawbridge came along ? I also find it strange that there no incinerators at all in australia. It all feels like something they didn't really think about and changed for the sake of gameplay
>>741335410I will never forget how disappointed I was that I went from true Kino that was the first game to the second one feeling like a silly fan game of LOL SO RANDOM WATCH THIS I HAVE MONEY TO BURN ON SCREEN! If I was a Japanese man I would be onions clapping and jumping up and down at the guitar moment at the end sure, but I'm not. His sequels are always dog shit and then the third game is better but I am tired of the Kojima shuffle.
>>741335410I don't see anyone talk about DS2 for some reason. Other than the guitar man, and the gay tentacle rape.
>>741359485A metropolis in DS2, biggest, largest city on the entire continent: has a population of 50.000. For them it's no time to kill, humanity is legit almost extinct. So if the survivalists i kill people then all the more reasons not to kill any more body.
>>741359802There were daily threads on /v/ for a month after PC release>>741360248It's not like the survivalists will ever help them. Some people probably tried changing their mind and got killed as a result. There is no reason to keep survivalists around
>>741361350No reason to keep the sparrows around either, uh Mr. Zedong? They eat all the grain after all.
>>741361946Who are the sparrows, grain, and pests in your analogy?
>>741335410It's not in popular segment even on repack sites.
>>741361946The sparrows don't kill everybody who dares walk close to them
>>741362259Before anon's murderous intervention we are in a situation where people leave the cities and become survivalists for some reason. Anon intervenes and kills all survivalists, what does this act have to do with the trend? Survivalist rebels will continue to happen because the cause of them was not resolved so anon will kill them again, and again a third time and by that point i'd be surprise if the number a survivalist hasn't quadrupled just to spite anon's ruinous policy. The analogies are endless.Anon's a guy who was warned not to fight fire with fire and thought it was stupid, didn't understand why it wouldn't work and decided to do the opposite because the warning must be a trick or something. Don't put this guy in charge.
>>741351118Sorry you're too stupid to understand or are purposefully misunderstanding any of the worldbuilding of the first game or what an impactful story beat should be.>CliffDead>Sam's wife and childDead>Heartman's familyDead>old guyDies and turns into a BTIn the first game dying had consequnces, you either became a faceless BT or became a faceless BT and voided out when you touched the living.The connected Beaches in DS2 is an interesting idea and COULD have been done more effectively i.e. Deadman comes back at the end of the game to help Sam with Higgs, THEN says goodbye forever, Heartman sees his family again and decides to live. Instead Kojima went for Deadman was the red samurai the whole time, Heartman moved on off screen. Red samurai's reveal has zero emotional impact based on its placement in the game; nor does the hamfisted reveal of Tomorrow being Lou being Sam's daughter to his apathetic response.It was simply a boring sequel with bad writing and in some places, improved gameplay.
>>741363152Those guys who rape and pillage in the desert ? Why yes I want them in my society
>>741363158>suddenly DS1 is a masterpiece of impactful storytelling
>>741363559No you want them in the desert doing nothing as to not create a social vacuum nor killing anyone. You want them to exist impotently because if you make them disappear then who knows by who they will be replaced, by people you don't control. I'm being the smart politician here.
>>741363797The story of Sam and Cliff is better than anything in 2. And everything was overexplained. Kojima must've been really butthurt by the complaints of things being overexplained because barely anything gets an explanation in 2.
SAGEDHIDDEN AND REPORTED TOOFUCK THE MODS BANNING ME FOR SAYING SAGES AND FUCK THIS THREAD-10/10
>>741335410>Deathslop mailmanIts Crazy that he just ignored the tens of billions more he could make if he made a new Mgs/splinter cell inspired high quality game of a genre he is most famous for.
>>741364258Ow my phantom pain.
>>741364047While it's never shown in game because they can't do ennemies outside of their designated zone, it's implied that they were being aggressive toward the motherhood, who ask drawbridge for help. So they were not doing nothing in their corner of the desert. Plus they still steal cargo sometimes. They also fucking sit on a chemical mine and do nothing with it when it could be a source of bargain
>>741364393I meant ideally they'd do nothing because that's what i want, i want the ideal result. Realistically the survivalists are going to do a bit of killing and my job is to bring that to a possible minimum which is implied to happen in game in SSS posts, codec entries, in the deliveries themselves and in the fact the survivalists organize in fortified camps meaning somebody has been attacking them before Sam arrived.
Why did Kojimbo give Tomorrow super duper ass kicking powers? Now if we're going to have a Death Stranding 3 with Tomorrow as the protagonist, it's either gonna be a boring ass beat 'em up (like they all are), or they're going to have to gimp her powers. I'd take the latter, I don't give a shit about continuity. I want a fun game. I'd take the lame ass excuse they gave for Fragile.
>>741364802>meaning somebody has been attacking them before Sam arrived.It was me
>>741364841Her powers are never explained, neither are her strings, neither is the time stop that happens with Higgs before the second kraken fight.
>>741364841Because DS2 has more in common with an anime than a hollywood movie.If DS3 doesn't have gravity rush + abzu tier fluid movement mechanics then Kojima's a hack.>take off backpack>dive off cliff>noclip through ground>swim in the walls and pull enemies into the ocean
>>741335410I forget his shitty writing five minutes afterHe'd have to do a lot better for me to remember it for decades
>>741365220How come i have explanations for those things and you don't? You must be stupid.
>>741365568Explain them then.
>>741335410It will be remembered for decades as the sequel to an interesting game.
>>741365626Nuh huh~ Not your lore youtuber.
>>741365702>doesn't even try to make things up out of his assLame.
>>741335410No, it's not MGS2.In fact Kojima should've stopped making games after MGS2.
>>741365684Well put i've gotta admit.DS1 shocked people then they decided they "got it" and had their fill.What kind of reason is that to engage with a game just to get it. Oh okay got it.
>>741341848I've grown more incensed with Dollman as the game went on. It'd be different if Sam talked to him, but he doesn't, so he's just annoying me, the Sam-yer.
>>741343315It reminds me of Portal 2 compared to Portal 1.
Love or hate him, you got to admit that Kojima is currently at a good place right now.>scanned joosten (probably fucked her)>scanned elle fanning (probably fucked her)>scanned that french girl (probably fucked her too)>scanned that sophia lillis (kojima fucked her too)and the best of all, he probably has some private personal WEG POV game where he gets to relive those experiences
>>741366515>get hit once by blade ghost mech>OH BOY THAT MUST HURT>YOU LOST A LOT OF BLOOD YOU SHOULD GET TO SAFETY>SAM ARE YOU ALRIGHT???And as you said, Sam doesn't even talk to him. He's an awful gameplay addition and his character is retarded. Wowee I brought my daughter to a BT area now we're both dead.
>>741366846Your anger is manufactured in your own mind and is not an objective quality of the game. Leave him alone.
>>741366515I can't stand Dollman's accent either. Is it supposed to be a Spanish accent? I can't tell. Regardless, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me.
>>741335410maybe when it's actually on discount on steam
>>741366846I was so fucking fed up with Dollman, that when he asked me if I wanted to hear his stupid story, I said no every time. >WOW Really Sam!?!?Yes you fucking idiot. Learn to take a hint after asking me the third time.I later looked it up on YouTube, and yeah it was dumb as shit. If the Death Stranding™ never happened, he probably would have still gotten himself and his daughter killed. I'm imaging him bringing his daughter to see the family dog after it contracted rabies.
>>741366846I don't like most of his room interactions either. I miss BB. BB was funny. Dollman's musical gags aren't as endearing.Remember when he decided to do a book club thing with Sam on the Magellan? Sam could actually say something back once or twice, you know.
Death stranding gets immediately forgotten the second nobody is shilling it. Even Metal Gear Solid is only relevant because pretentious millenials who hate gaming are obsessed with it for some reason, probably because it has more cutscenes and dialogue than gameplay.
>>741364987You just don't have la responsabilité.
>>741366989No. He is by far the worst aspect of the game. I don't need to be told to eat ze bugs when Sam is low on blood. I don't need to be told that I dropped some cargo after the second floating carrier decided that the rock the first carrier floated over just fine was too much for it to handle. And I certainly don't need anyone else than Sam shouting when using zip-lines and jump ramps.>>741367546>bring daughter to black things area>get shot to death both>>741367605They could've done so much more with the BB hallucination. Small interactions between her and Sam during gameplay, cute cutscenes, maybe sometimes BB fading away for a split second, Tomorrow interacting with the pod. Kojima decided to make Sam suffer for whatever reason, why not go all in at this point?
>>741335684This. You can criticize the execution of the game if you want, but the creativity attempted in Death Stranding 1 should be the standard, not the exception. It was one of the best games of the 8th gen for that reason (not a high bar). I haven't played DS2 yet though. I fear the wrong lessons were learned from DS1.
>>741335684>To me Kojima and Death Stranding embody what videogame development should be all about.Sniffing your own farts, jerking off american demons from the celebrity sphere and making garbage for snoys?>>741368089One really should research why Konima drones consistently have abysmal taste and no actual love for gaming.
>>741343467>which is unique within our modern storytelling landscape since The System is always portrayed as the antagonistRead a fucking book, moron.
>>741335410This is the game that made Sam a tranny and praised the death of Abe
>>741335410Kojima made mgs 1 it was literally a big deal yet no ones talking about it but everyone praises last of us cos it's made by the tribal people with tiny hats.Kojima deserves a lot of respect for making a game like mgs. Was there any game like that in the past?Without mgs we wouldnt have syphonnfilter splinter cell or other stelth or have that kind if movie and game mix
>>741337563Mgs games predicted a lot of things AiMemes being mainstreamCloningTwin tower being hit
>>741335410Chew on my dick, you pretentious chink
>>741368236To love DS is to love gaming. It's a true game among all videogames who aren't afraid to leave the player in direct control of his actions as the character inside the game world.
kojima being retarded is part of the charm. I rather play something interesting thats a bit of a mess than the sterile garbage / remake slop we got served for the last decade
>>741368485Play a game, faggot. They all fucking suck.
>>741368563>made Sam a tranny
>>741335410It was forgotten after one day
>>741335410What's with the chew comparison? Is that an expression in Japanese? Kishimoto said the same about Boruto
>>741368802>to love a cinematic walking simulator is to love gaminglolKojima is a kike who never had any love for gaming, he just wanted to be a Hollywood celebrity. It's time to finally realize this.
>>741369948Get your slurs straight dumbass.
>>741369853Chewing is important for proper digestion
>>741369948It's time to realize it's not movie game and has never been you ridiculous ass.
It's a famous videogame from a famous individual. It won't be forgotten no matter how unremarkable the game is. People remember random unremarkable games from nobodies on the NES from decades ago. Why would they forget death stranding? Kojima sucks but he isn't being forgotten.
>>741370162You'd think you'd get more apples than just the one.
>>741370970You get two total
>>741335410Not really. The game already aged poorly tbqh. I think Kojima became too obsessed with twitter and got depressed because of all the mean comments people would leave on random posts and decided to built an entire game around that.Anyway, we've found out in recent years that most social media comments/interactions are actually very positive but they aren't fulfilling because there's no follow ups to those interactions. Kojima thought he was being clever by making "social media but you can only be nice :)" but that's basically what we already have: people getting hundreds of vapid, pseudo anonymous likes and compliments on their instagram stories.Kojima spent most of his career making snide remarks about FPS games but we're now at a point where the average teen booting up Fortnite every night and shit talking on voice with his friends is getting much more healthy, nourishing social interactions than boomers like Kojima who get thousands of likes on twitter. Death Stranding really is just an incel game for friendless losers desu.
>>741371252How'd you get the second one? She keeps the rest when she gets good at it, selfish brat.
>>741371925That's the second one. The first one is from the batch of apples the Dowser gives to the crew, Rainy gives one to Sam when it's not ripe yet. Then Tomorrow keeps the rest.
>>741335410Specifically 2? No but Death stranding as a whole is something I'll not forget. People laugh about the "strand" genre but there is no other game that plays like it and thus it is unique.
Death Stranding was great, but Death Stranding 2 was genuinely bad except for the visual part.And I did find the stupid Charlie dance to be funny, I enjoyed it.But holy fuck, it was a letdown as a game.
>>741335410mgsv was his last good game
>>741372221pay attention to Deep Snow Delivery
>>741372537How can the sequel that plays the exact same be so bad?
>>741373091The story is (even more) pants on head retarded and suffers from obvious rewrites. The gameplay was also dumbed down (even more) to be accessible to a casual audience.
>>741371868uh oh incel boomer game.
>>741373895So it's even more death stranding than death stranding, got it.
>>741364841tomorrow is in your hands
>>741350794god tier post
>>741374601Yeah, and it continues to look great. Day/night cycle gives some really impressive dawns and dusks.
>>741368089DS2 is an improvement in terms of gameplay.
>half the story is about Sam getting cucked 10 years agoThe fact that this game didn't get a Saros tier reputation on /v/ is surprising
>>741375803I would like to find the guy who decided you can't choose exactly where your cargo goes and introduce him to some things, though.
>>741375903>game ends with the reveal that she was doing it to expose Bridges all alongSHE WAS STILL CHEATING GODDAMN MAN
>>741335684Kojima is shit and was pushed by western journos to try and and DEI western-slopify jap media. Notice how once they actually happened they stopped glazing Kojima
>>741375903Lucy/Vana was probably the most pointless story inclusion. Though for a moment I was thinking the cuck plan worked and Lucy actually managed to escape to Mexico, and the west part of the map would open up and we could go meet her at the end of the game.
>>741375803Gameplay?
>>741368089It's a walking sim that has to fake the values of its own "strand" mechanic because it doesn't actually work.
>>741376627you are mentally ill
>>741376720Neil scenes are kino, even though I think the entire thing was unnecessary. I ended up liking his character quite a lot despite that and the shit third fight. The actor did a great job
>>741368485I read books worth of 4chan posts.
>>741376720I really thought there was going to be a 3rd map. Australia is a bit too small...
>>741378417The map shrinks the more one plays, shouldn't play it so much. Kojima cries when you play for too long.
>>741335410Hidetaka Miyazaki>>>>>Hideo Kojima.
>>741378587It didn't feel this small in 1. I think there's too much cross-country work.
>>741378417Quit using vehicles and ziplines.
>>741379118It totally shrank as well, i played too much of both games. DS2's map is factually larger in area by the way.
>>741335410I remember 1, I purposefully forget 2 because it was so cringe and shit
>>741378895Me>>Hidetaka Miyazaki>>>>>Hideo Kojima.
>>741379575Suda51 >>>>>>>>>>> Shit > You >>Hidetaka Miyazaki>>>>>Hideo Kojima.
>>741341848LMAOOOOOO
>>741379647I wrote a mod for far cry 3.Me > Suda51 >>>>>>>>>>> Shit > Me>>Hidetaka Miyazaki>>>>>Hideo Kojima.
>>741378417Australia is bigger than the UCA, but a lot easier to traverse
>>741380432Except for the mountain which has steeper slopes.
>>741380432I think the issue is with the crater monorail, it needed slightly harder terrain between the northern observatory and the metagenomicist.
>>741380669They give you spiked wheels so that doesn't count.
>>741380669The slopes are also much smoother and clear of obstructions. You go slowly, but you can just hold forward and march on up. There's a lot less rock scrambling or navigating around obstacles.
>>741381124The very first bits in TTW Mexico were the best bits of DS2 to me. I was hoping the difficulty would scale. It didn't.
>>741381124The best ones are when they spawn explosive cargo and it just explodes as you approach.
>>741377912something tells me it was added as trailer content..
>>741380776And DS1's truck erased all slopes just the same. We've had this debate and we'll have it again because there's like 4-5 of us on /v/. We each have our specific peeves and hang ups about the game, i recognize your styles and you've seen mine. We're like a fucking team of Ninja Turtle Sams. GAD damn it.
>>741381481Kojima couldn't help but recycle the four soldiers protecting the guy thing. C'mon Kojima.
>>741381617Well that's just the standard for a fire team.
>>741381617it's okay he made up for it with this scenehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O91YcZWcUVYmade me say kino out loud
>>741381925Still mad this isn't in the OST.
>>741335410All I can remember from ds 2 is Elle Fanning's butt in pyjamas
>>741381925>dance scene>ignoring the entire rest of this short film before and after>dance scene when Hardman's speech is even more kino>so funny dance scene when kojima kinda admits the patriots from that one famous codec call were half right to restrict the flow of informationDie-Hard's point of view is harsh, he says suffering and dying are good things.
>>741382430>suffering and dying are good thingsthey are or you end up like higgs
Took a trip to Japan a couple months ago. Now I know why there are so many jingles in the game.
>>741382086Thanks doc.
>>741382562No way fag. Posting live from the beach.
>>741335410already forgotten desu senpai
Been picking away at it since it released. Just unlocked the chiral cannon and it basically turned my truck into an anti-BT tank. I feel like the new tools are fun but often extremely OP
Growing up is realizing that Konami was completely justified in their treatment of Kojimbo
>>741335410Death Stranding, yesDeath Stranding 2, no, because unlike 1 it had nothing new to say or to offer
>>741383940>I feel like the new tools are fun but often extremely OPYeah they kinda ruined the game for me. The obvious thing retards will say is "Just don't use them!" Yeah cause that's great game design.
>>741383940Cannon obliterates them, but is too slow because they don't start charging up until you're on top of the BT and it aggros. Double machine guns are still better.
>>741381998That's all you can get for now https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yXt_vyFQwVyt3jPwTIbgyfSWvygqpqzG/view?usp=drive_link use audacity or something to cut it up>>741382562Wow he's literally me>>741383940You can easily accidentally kill yourself with chiral canons even on flat terrain if whatever it's shooting at is too close>>741384206It wanted to say something about AI but it was handwaved in a single cutscene
