is this shit good?

>>712515406 (OP)
No

Absolutely not.

Yes but if you're under 35 you will be filtered.

>>712515406 (OP)
Yeah, it is one of the best games ever made.

Gameplay is very unique, so try it out if you want to play something different for a change.

>>712515406 (OP)
I haven't played it, but it has a talk show host in it. That is enough to say no.
I bought it, and may like it, but due to it's caveat it should not be preserved.

I like the Mama model, and the sex dill lioks good, Margaret Qualley, in The Leftovers. I saw her as the model from that (game) first.

Self preservation may be worth not playing it.

And from previews to release it has been severely downgraded. Another bad mark.

See for yourself and report back. Or play The Division or Returnal instead. Both good games that take themselves seriously. And have shooting, which is probably preferable to avoiding falling over.

>>712515406 (OP)
yes. the directing and atmosphere is amazing and i hate every other walking sim.
it's really the cadillac of walking sims

>>712515903
>The Division or Returnal
Lol
Lmao

>>712515903
>I haven't played it, but it has a talk show host in it. That is enough to say no.
Conan O'Brien has a 30 second cameo. lol

Imagine getting your panties in a bunch over that.

>>712515406 (OP)
mediocre open world game

>>712515981
can i play it like mgs

>>712515406 (OP)
it was one of the only games i bought in the past 4 years that i think is fully worth the price. i got 150 hrs of entertainment out of it. completed all the clients with full star ratings. built a full network of ziplines and EV charging stations. went mountaineering with a truck.

unironically one of the most unique AAA experiences you're going to have. it's like a weird mix of MMO grinding and slow contemplative burn.

>>712515406 (OP)
Not even remotely.

>>712516103
People go ape shit because of pekora.

>>712515406 (OP)
It is amazing but you have to rush the first area to really open up the game. It's actually shocking how huge the difference between area 1 and 2 is

>>712515406 (OP)
I gave it a shot. Put about 10 hours into it and got to chapter 3. But don't know if I can recommend it. If the walking back and forth isn't your cup of tea then you won't like it. It's creative so I'll give it that but at its core, it's walking between places with the occasional stealth segment. Maybe the game really opens up after this but idk

>>712516468
it's a guilty pleasure of mine. besides its not as bad as the 2018 impressions make you think.

>>712516685
A polished turd is still a turd

>>712516936
fo76 was more like a turd covered malachite. if you enjoy minerals it's good now since the turds have been removed.

Virgin incels won't like it

>>712517319
Thinking back to when I was one, he was a better person than me, uninfected, better taste, had avoided contact with university victims or opposed such. Full of life. Fun. Brave. Very fit. Living free. Lucky.

If he wouldn't like it then it is a bad thing. And if your statement could speak for him I wouldn't play it.

Do you like walking from point A to point B? If so then it's for you. I'll give DS2 a try since I hear it has more actual gunfights.

>>712517905
DS1 already had plenty of gun fights... at least if you wanted to collect materials to build roads or complete all of the objectives. Not to mention that you have to battle Clifford and Higgs.

Quintessential walking simulator. Kojima fell off years ago.

>>712517996
>>712517905
the gun+boss fights were the worst parts about ds1.

there shouldnt have been any combat, the BTs should just have had to been avoided like the amnesia monsters

>>712515406 (OP)
Kek, no

>>712515406 (OP)
its compelling, but also weird and convoluted

>>712515406 (OP)
It's the best game ever made. You can tell because everyone who hates is an insufferable faggot high on his farts.

I liked it, just wish it went a bit more autistic with the logistics and infrastructure construction.
farming for materials by robbing bandits is genuinely a lot of fun

>>712515406 (OP)
This degenerate hates it, which obviously means it is very good.

>>712515406 (OP)
do you want to spend 90% of time walking an empty world in a delivery wagie simulator?

>>712515406 (OP)
A big part of the gameplay's appeal is opportunity to S-rank deliveries. So if you're the type of person who brute forces missions and doesn't care if you hand in packages at 10% condition, the game will be nothing more than a walking simulator.

If you do care about the condition of all your cargo, you will find the game a lot more engaging. You are going to put more thought into the delivery routes you take, which obstacles you are likely going to face (Bandits, Ghosts, ravines) and which tools you have to bring with you (ladders, ropes, guns).

The story is peak Kojima so you either are onboard with this or not.

>>712516273
>MMO grinding
in a sp game, and its not even farming mobs but tedious walking
also there were already several games like that - except they gave you vehicles right away and made it fun with combat, modding and driving

>director cut upgrade is only 3.99
nice

>>712515406 (OP)
Eh, I was filtered, was intrigued at first and production value is really high but the real meat of the game, the walking, is boring whenever you have to backtrack. Which is quite a bit.

>>712519126
you can ignore the grinding part, its just i enjoyed doing it for all the dopamine hits for getting the * on my sam's overalls. and also why tf are you walking around. by hour 2 you should be zooming on your bike, and by hour 8 you should have a scrapper truck stolen from some cunts that you're juicing along. and by hour 12 you're in your bridgesmobile and you never walk a centimeter outside of the last 2 meters where you chug the deliveries in.

>>712515406 (OP)
god no

>>712515406 (OP)
If you enjoy hiking and weird sci-fi you'll love it. If not, you will be filtered hard.

Average dialogue in this game/movie:
>Sam, it's FIGHTLIKEHELLDUDE, the ATs are attacking the base. You need to use the KKP to defend us
>Why me?
>Because the AI of BS is using you to expand the Shartium network along the coast of UCBA
>UCBA? You mean United Cucks of Black America?
>Yes, contact FARTMAN for more information

it's not. you think there's something there after the first 8 hours but there isn't. there is no great pay off with the story, there is no 2deep4u element to the gameplay. in fact it only gets worse once you come to the terrible realization that not even the boss fights will be interesting. they're arguably the most brainless part of an already brainless experience.

do not fall for the trick that other anons have lied to themselves with regards to this game. there is no great reward. there is a very good reason this game has never once been discussed at length for its characters and story outside of memes and coomer bait from the fem cast for almost six years now.

if you're going to spend chump change on it fine, but i beg you don't waste over a day of your life playing this piece of shit like i did.

>>712515406 (OP)
It took me about a dozen false starts and multiple threads of bitching about it on /v/ before I finally forced myself to buckle down and give it a fair shake.

It's a good game. Feels more like a genuine "journey" than any other game I've ever played. No one who cannot stand a slow burn will ever appreciate it unfortunately.

>>712515406 (OP)
it was different anyway

Tendies who demand constant action get filtered.

>>712515406 (OP)
It's probably the most divisive game I've seen on /v/.

>>712515406 (OP)
>is this shit good?
It is the only Kojimbo game that i like.

>>712515406 (OP)
There's 7 hours worth of cutscenes...

>>712516273

>>712520728
We're not talking about Metal Gear Solid 4 here.

>>712515406 (OP)
Good story and premise. Just wish I hadn't made a few mistakes 100 hours in... Solid 8.5 because I wished there was just more. Don't take haters word for it, if you can get it on sale, it's fantastic. Some guys just love to seethe about kojima.

>>712519024
Saved and kekked. The game is great, and people get so angry about it.

>>712520846
Director's cut, comes with an additional 4 hours...
These devs need to work on the game n fuck off making movies

Would I like this if I hated MGS V

>>712521194
You clearly hate video games so probably not.

>>712521246
I like every single other MGS

I already watched Ironmouse playthrough

>>712521194
no. same problem. pointless boring open world

>>712515406 (OP)
no it is a literal by the definition of the word walking simulator... literally just walking

>>712521415
So you actually prefer movie game shit over actual gameplay. Like I said, you don't like video games.

>>712515406 (OP)
its qwop without the fun gameplay and silliness

>>712521658
you walk in most games, this game just makes it more interesting gameplaywise. All games should do this because usually moving around in open world is a chore and everyone prefers to teleport.

>>712515406 (OP)
No. It is fucking boring.

>>712521194
Don't listen to the other faggots, MGSV was slop. One of the most tedious games I've ever played. Death Stranding is much more enjoyable somehow, on paper it sounds like it should be boring as fuck but for whatever reason, trying to stay balanced as you deliver packages through dangerous terrain is pretty engaging.

I understand its not for everyone, but i absolutely love the idea of being a post apocalyptic delivery man. You will either love it or think its abolute garbage. No middle ground.

>>712521702
I would happily play any Sony movie game slop over an empty open world with a shitty story stretched to 100 hours, and for some reason a real time timer on upgrades

>>712521956
it makes walking more of a chore than any other game in existence wtf are you talking about

>>712522141
I honestly think it's deeper than that it's absolute garbage and I hate kojima now

why do we get this kind of thread everyday
the answer will always be yes if you like to play deliveryman with a rather involved traversal mechanic and don't mind kojimbo's eccentricities

>>712519126
you get a bike on the first map, and a truck on the 2nd
only problem is fixing roads if you want a nice trip

>Diehardman
>Mama
>Fragile

Why is Sam the only one with a real name and everyone else is using their twitter handle in real life?

>>712522328
If you like to mindlessly press forward then yes, but in this game physics just matter more and that is always good for games.

>>712515406 (OP)
No.
But it's not bad either.
I don't know what the fuck it is, but Kojima somehow got me to play a pizza delivery simulator and I didn't hate it so there must be something to it.

>>712515406 (OP)
If you don't think you'll enjoy the gameplay of creating routes to deliver packages, no.

>>712522517
Sam's full name is Sam Porter Bridges and he is a Porter who builds bridges between people. Bravo Kojima

Keep on keepin' on

>>712517905
you couldn't have got out of the intro with that playtime. Granted the intro is a painfully drawn out 3 hours of cutscenes and A-B tutorial missions but it does improve a lot once that's over. But desu I like going on long hikes anyway and this game taps into that

>>712515406 (OP)
Yeah, it's the most complete game Kojima has made since MGS3

>>712522517
For me it was Heartman, a guy with a stylistically shaped heart, that lived near a crater lake shaped like said heart, who also had a heart attack every half hour.

>>712527147
I enjoyed the game, but the story and stuff like this, I just couldn't get beyond pondering what the fuck is going on in this guy's head

>>712527259
I think about the only "story" element I enjoyed was the sole death I had leading to me realizing why everything is a giant rocky blown out piece of shit

>>712515887
if i were in sam's shoes i'd just impregnate her a second time so she can hold an actual baby

also margaret is such a cocktease it's crazy

>>712519264
>by hour 2 you should be zooming on your bike
>by hour 2 and five minutes that bike has run empty
That's why I walk.

>>712515406 (OP)
I think it was a free Epic game twice.

>>712521194
Death Stranding feels like a finished MGSV

>Fallout 76 membership
Opinion discarded.

>build road
>you have now eliminated 90% of the gameplay

>>712515406 (OP)
it's a UPS/FedEx simulator. Probably FedEx because lmao ol sammy here ain't getting no pension, hell he ain't even getting paid, just likes and thank (you)s. basically you deliver packages all around the map, sometimes you have to deliver through hostile territory. you'll fight either ghosts or rejects from MGSV's checkpoints. since this is a post apocalyptic game, you won't have no DOT up your asshole, but that means you also have to be the DOT and provide materials to build and maintain the road system. once you do that, you've pretty much reached end game.

the story is whacky ass kojima tier writing and in all honestly it's not bad despite how much of a crackpot he is. the world would be a more boring place without kojima, that's for sure.

>>712528939
the dopamine rush you get from a million likes is worth it though

>>712515406 (OP)
Yeah, it is excellent and honestly a steal for only 16 bucks.

Great (very weird) story, great progression mechanics, great gameplay, great world building - I really love this game.

>>712516273
>DL2
>sniper elite 5

what the fuck are you doing

The goal of the game is to stop playing the game. If you never buy it you already won.

this game is absolute dogshit and not necessarily because of its gameplay (though that sucks too).

>>712515406 (OP)
Not really but I still enjoyed my ~50h playthrough. Granted I got it for free thanks to ebin games store. Couldn't tell you much about the story.

>>712515406 (OP)
Notice the discussion here how some absolutely love it and some completely hate it? that's exactly what Kojima was aiming for with this game cause it keeps discussion alive for years to come. He said out of 10 people when 4 like it and 6 hate it that's a good ratio because if everyone loves it people will stop talking about it, that's why he was shocked to see that pretty much everyone who played Death Stranding 2 loves the game lol

Yes

Playing it right now. Jesus fucking Christ, I’m never listening to any retard in this board anymore. Death Stranding is legitimately one of the best games I’ve ever played. Definitely gonna put it in my 3x3 at the very least

>>712530049
Based, fellow porter.

>>712530049
me too. I especially like the part where the characters explain the story and world concepts very matter of factly directly to the camera in extreme detail in 40 minute monologues because i'm legitimately retarded and that's the only way I can follow along.

When do you get an actual decent weapon in this game?
Idk if I'm just retarded but the shock gun doesn't seem to do anything, especially when it's like 3 or more dudes. It's easier to just throw hands

>>712530216
That's kojimism

>>712515406 (OP)
Depends. It's either one of the best games you'll play or a mediocre nonsense. For me it's the former. Very unique, one of a kind experience. Calling it a walking sim would be correct, but an actual walking sim, not like press up to move forward. You have to balance yourself, solve natural obstacles, fight monsters, strategize your cargo and your path, a lot of mechanics are not explained and the game trusts you to discover them. If you ever stop in a video game to watch sunset or whatever, this one might be for you. It's atmospheric, and the gameplay creates memorable moments. I wouldn't be ashamed to have it in my 3x3.

>>712530217
I think that's only in the director's cut. Later on you get a bola gun that can mess people up. And of course, lethal weapons

>>712530756
it feels so good, idk what it is but the feeling you get is soo uplifting. Man, I can't wait for DS2

>>712515406 (OP)
No, watch all the cutscenes on youtube if you absolutely cannot live without kojima's garbage in your life.

>>712515406 (OP)
I got it for free on the EGS and I still felt like I got robbed. You will have plenty of people going "it's a white man's game you don't understand, it's exploration and walking" (same argument was used ad nauseam for Elden Ring too) but I live near the Alps and when I want to go hiking I just do that with my fucking white feet instead of being a mutt basement dweller larping as a white man.

>>712528939
Building the roads will propbably longer than actually playing the main story, though

Yes, but it's boring and slow.
Should've got it for free when Timmy gave it away.

>>712515406 (OP)
it's worth 15$ for the initial novelty of the gameplay and the world, absolutely. the story stuff never clicked for me though so I kind of fell out of it at the midpoint. when you have somewhat bland gameplay by design there's need to be a carrot at the end of it.

>>712515406 (OP)
I'll always respect it for being a big budget game that took a genuine risk with unconventional gameplay, doesn't mean I actually want to play it though.
