Your walking simulator, sir

I'm not sold. I need a boring cutscene of some Hollywood actor emoting before I'm convinced to buy.

>>712990119
>make the sequel more action oriented without improving the action gameplay
Flop. DOA.

>it's a walking simulator AND a bad action game
You have me sold, Sony marketer.

>>712990078 (OP)
I hope there's not too much action I just wanna deliver stuff in progressively more efficient ways.

I don't get it, what's wrong with the game being a "walking simulator"
like imagine having your dopamine receptors fried to such a degree that walking and looking at a beautiful landscape does nothing for you and unless there's action every two minutes you are bored to death
also it's a novel concept and path traversing in games is simply taken for granted while this game makes it challenging until you unlock more efficient methods of transportation
I didn't even play the first game but I just don't get why are people so pissed at it, at least it's something that attempts to be different which is rare in AAA today

>>712990078 (OP)
that's just mgs5 but finished

>>712990078 (OP)
If you are going to make a clunky slow shooter you need to design small claustrophobic encounters to complement the sluggishness. That's why RE games work so well. Big open environments and sluggish movement in a shooter looks, feels, and is retarded.

>>712990078 (OP)
it not walking simulator.
it doordash simulator set in "no kings" protest

>>712990430

It's a VIDEO GAME, retard. They're meant to be interactive beyond holding the left analog stick forward.

Movie games are a diamond dozen. Just because it has Kojima attached and is full of nonsensical visuals with undoubtedly unsatisfying narrative logic doesn't suddenly make it okay.

Every time I see a webm from these games it's anything but walking, doesn't seem to be the focus.

>>712990827
you are contraddicting yourself because both journey and flower are perfect games for gameplayfaggots because there's barely any story, peak interactivity
you won't be able to articulate even what's wrong with those games (protip: nothing, you are just a contrarian retard)

>>712991161
what gets me is the pointless little cutscene at the end

>>712991161
you do walk but there are mechanics to walking and walking in the game is important. It's almost like even the most mundane things can be made interesting if the game is well designed

>>712990078 (OP)
I want to talk about the game but it seem all thread are weird bait thread dammit
Also damn you Kojima for making it PS5 only

>>712991161
It kinda is the focus. But walking is very boring. Why would you want to see a webm of a guy doing nothing but walking?

Don’t worry I’m sure there’s going to be hours of that. That’s like worrying there won’t be shooting in call of duty.

>he fell for the walking sim meme

>>712990078 (OP)
Looks sick

>>712991113
Here’s your problem.

>>712991627
The game would literally be better if they had no combat and had all that extra dev time and budget to further flesh out movement, climbing and traversal. Its even funnier when Kojima recently said he made his game worse to not make everyone happy but overhauls the combat.

>>712991757
>cringe kino

See this is what I mean. Koji drones can't even agree if Kojima game is good because of walking, or because it's not walking. You'll eat whatever slop he shits out.

Exactly what I don't want in video games. I can get that irl. I want some sort of competitive aspect which is why I praise games like league of legends. I would do anything to be good at that game and learn it. Not saying I don't enjoy single player games but I have ZERO interest in shit like god of war, last of us, death stranding, whatever the fuck else "cinematic experience" normies praise.

>>712992018
>Koji drones can't even agree if Kojima game is good because of walking, or because it's not walking.
or you are too low IQ to understand what is being said. the hiking mechanics are fun and engaging but are not the extent to the gameplay. calling it a "walking simulator" is reductive. technically, yes it is a walking simulator, but that term has negative connotations and people are implying the game isn't anything more than gone home or dear esther when in actuality it is far closer to a real action game with shooting mechanics, driving mechanics, building mechanics, momentum and balance mechanics, and more. it isn't that people are claiming it isn't a walking simulator, people are objecting to the comparison to other games which are little more than digital dioramas. the walking is fun and engaging and there is more to the game than just walking.
also, you can't call me a kojima drone. i am also a metal gear survive defender.

>>712992347
>heh, la creatividad put a quick time sequence straight out of a game he made over a decade ago at the very end, that means it's not a walking sim and he's still a genius

did he... did he just press l2 and then r2? holy goty

To actually talk about the game: what happened to Higgs previous group? did he just replaced them with his cult and robots?
Mules seems to still be in the game, but terrorist were replaced by Higgs cult, the robots and the survivalist faction

>>712992587
>shooting mechanics
lol
>driving mechanics
Skyrim horse tier

Just put it down non-gameplay. Don't even dare compare it with actual building games.

Balance not required on vehicles

>le walking game

>the most optimal way to play the game is to use a truck and shoot everything in your path

Why is false advertising like this allowed?

>>712993105
the terrorists, the homo demens, likely ARE higgs' cult. they were always led by higgs, they have just evolved to be more religious.

>>712993184
>endgame zipline
But you get to fast travel between ubishit hubs, get stars and likes for your delivery, and get expository dialogue from a hollywood c lister.

>>712993184

>end goal is to set up a system to even further avoid the primary mechanics
>"oh but it has forced bossfights"
>only one of these fights that ever gets posted is the MGS4 fight copy at the very end, every other clip from death stranding is either Sam falling over or a cutscene featuring the B list actors Kojima spent 40% of his budget on

>>712993378
The terrorist are said to be a decentralized group though, while Higgs was a defacto leader, it was more them following him because he was powerful as hell. I doubt all of them ended up becoming the cultist

>>712990271
It helps that DS has such a beautiful atmosphere. If there’s one game you should play with headphones on, it’s this Death Stranding

>>712993184

>>712991161
That’s because everyone immediately jumps on the trike the second they unlock it and never use Sam’s legs again then complain that there’s not enough walking in the game. The real man’s way to play this game is to only use vehicles on the roads and your two feet for everything else

It's a cuhrazy japanese game where you're meant to find wacky ways to complete deliveries and shoot cool monsters. Anything else is 2DEEP4U cope.

>>712991896
Disagree. I love the delivery man parts but the MULEs and BTs are fine. If I wanted a game that is 100% walking simulator, I’d play a walking simulator

>>712990430
Monster hunter

I see Kojima is still forced to pander to americans. Pure walking simulator would be way too kinographic for this world.

>>712994127
It was never a walking sim

it would be fun if there was a dark souls esque invasion mechanic where you could invade someone's world as a MULE (or even one of the more lethal factions) to fuck up their day.

They added so much pointless shit in the director's cut.

Fun, but pointless.

People turning into feral savages to get the dopamine hit of internet upvotes is such an amazingly on the nose (and accurate) concept

>>712995240
Wrong, it's realistic. They specifically made it so clunky because don't forget Sam is wearing 120kg or so on his back so of course aiming is supposed to be clunky, dumbass. But you can remove his backpack entirely and then aiming is much smoother

>>712995435
in a way, players who love death stranding gameplay becomes mules themselves

May I see it?

>>712995605
from a journo that was at the preview event playing 30 hours of the game
>In Death Stranding 2, Sam can now take off his backpack, a feature not available in the first game. This new ability allows him to shed weight and potentially improve combat effectiveness by not having to worry about his cargo.

>>712995838
Aren't weapons more often than not also part of the cargo though? unless they added more inventory on the suit

>>712995919
watch retards not take off the backpack for combat and then complain why the combat is still so clunky lol

>>712990271
Death Stranding is one of the very very very VERY few games that does it right and even then there's so much going on I'd be more inclined to call it an adventure game, walking sim became a derogatory term a decade ago when a shitload of indie devs burst into the scene with their highly pretentious and boring "games" of you walking around a 3d art gallery and reading paragraphs about how timmy mcfarthuffer went for a walk on the beach it was incredibly lame and gay and I'm glad they've mostly phased out of existence

Being a regular porter in the world of Death Stranding is a pretty comfy job, as long you avoid BT areas, terrorist and Mules, it's basically hiking and walking all days

Konami messed up, Kojima probably also messed up, it was 10 years ago, no need to continue living in the past

>>712996806
Kiefer probably cost less than Hayter (gave a better performance too btw). The biggest issue that MGSV faced in development was being forced to run on PS3 hardware which is extremely limiting.

>>712990207
retard

>>712996486
As a lover of death stranding, this game is also all about a walk on the beach.

>>712997042
Tbf MGS5 started in 2010 so there was only PS3 hardware when it started
Hayter probably was cheaper, he used to actually voice Snake at a lower cost because he loved voicing the character, sometime even giving part of his pay

>>712994356
>euro plates

I hope DS2 has a racing mode too

>>712994653
desu I think the game balance was much better before the director cuts addition,there's a few things that makes the game way too easy

>>712997727
It's because everyone said the intro was a slog so DC speeds it up with new items but it also added a new difficulty

>>712991161
"walking sim" is a pure 2015 reddit shit meme that 4chan still worships because this website isn't good at hiding that it's just pre 2020 reddit.

What most people call walking sims are just what adventure games have become. Death Stranding, Hellblade, Dear Esther and stuff like Firewatch and Life is Strange, they are all the modern day direct equivalents of games like King Quest, Monkey Island, etc. Games that focus on graphics, story and cinematic stuff instead of gameplay have existed since the dawn of the fucking arcade machine and people complaining about their very existence are really just unvailing how young and barely developed their brains are.

These are all adventure games, and adventure games have always been like this with a direct or overt focus on a gameplay loop. Nobody complained you weren't getting high scores by killing hundreds of pirates in Monkey Island.

>>712998017
Death Stranding is nothing like those games. It's full of gameplay systems and yes you get score ratings too.

>>712997457
He's a sellout drama queen. I'm sure Hayter is really sad rolling in the bed of money after selling out to shill the soulless demake.

>>712990078 (OP)

Hey you can support both the remake and death stranding 2, ain't a "pick a side" situation

>>712997042
>Kiefer probably cost less than Hayter
All he had to do was deliver like 6 sentences of dialog and then grunt into a mic for 15 minutes of course he cost less

>>712998421
Nah don't support Delta, it's just a soulless lazy ass cashgrab leeching off Kojima's hard work. Fuck Konami, hope it fucking bombs

>>712998512
If any of you were here at TGS you would know the team of both games are cool with each others

>>712997727
>there's a few things that makes the game way too easy
Yeah, being able to take floating carriers on ziplines trivializes the game to a point where you might as well not even play.

2 being an actual game doesn't undo how shit 1 was.

>>712998667
Delta just looks like shit. All the animations are straight from the PS2 version, nothing is added, it's just a soulless UE5 coat of paint over the original game.

>>712998735

>>712998667
I don't give a fuck I know everything, I was there when it all happened, I'm not a fucking zoomer. The way Konami treated Kojima the last 6 months in the most crucial time of development of MGSV locking him away from the rest of his team so that they couldn't even finish the fucking game. No fucking thanks, again in case you didn't hear me the first time... FUCK KONAMI

>>712991450
>there’s going to be hours of that.

>>712999004

MGS5 has less cut content than some other games, let it go man. let go of the phantom pain.

>>712999020
This. Konami is eternally blacklisted. I will NEVER buy a game from Konami again for as long as I live.

I wonder what will be the thing in the mid game that will shock players, Kojima teased this a lot

>>712990078 (OP)
Absolutely nothing can sell me this game after playing first one. Kojima is a hack and he won't get my money again.

>They're meant to be interactive beyond holding the left analog stick forward.

main story is around 30 hours, cutscenes are mostly at the beginning and end

I've started playing the DC because of the second game
so far I have 25 hours in it

>>713002461
Buddy, the game is supposed to be around 75 hours long, we haven't seen shit about this game, even Woodkid said at the game premiere live stream we have seen NOTHING yet

>>713002823
75 hours if probably if you do all the side stuff desu, I think it will be closer to 30-40 hours for the main story which is as much as the first game, just that this one will have more side content

>>713002629
There's no action in the Neil parts as a direct subversion of everybody's expectations. Sam and Neil will talk things out like civilized men.

>>713003017
they already have shown part of Neil first boss fight (though I think something was wrong because the enemies were acting extremely dumb)

>>713002932
>75 hours if probably if you do all the side stuff desu
The first game takes like 150 hours to do all the side stuff, and that's only if you're real good.

>>713003093
It's because the guy playing it was shit at the game and they put on the easy difficulty. Kojima apologized that it looked shitty.

>>713003105
Took me like 60 hours to get all stars and 100% achievements, but I did use a guide on those fucking collectables because fuck that shit.

>>713003168
The guys playing they had in the MGS days was better, this guy probably wasn't a good pick, not to be rude on the poor dude who probably was extremely nervous

>>713003168
The guy playing apparently practiced that section for days, too. He must be really bad at vidya.

>>712990078 (OP)
didnt kojumbles say that he hates wanting to make his game appealing to the mass? this kinda contradicts this doesnt it?

>>713002932
No, Kojima said at the preview event journos got to play about 40% of the STORY and they played 4 full days 30 hours long. This game is absolutely MASSIVE

>>713003326
It's a very shitty TPS, so no, it doesn't contradict anything.

>>713003326
Kojima games should not be judged on his words because he says a lot of nothing sometimes, but on the games alone

>>712991161

>>712990078 (OP)

I feels like 75 hours for an action game is genuinely way too long if it's the case. But I don't trust most reviewers.
>>713003446
It was TPP-lite

I unironically cannot wait for more walking gameplay.

>>713003257

And all 540 standard deliveries?

It’s pretty but what in the fuck is going on? Why even care about shooting?

The Cliff sections were pretty stressful so I get it. The higher difficulties are genuinely hard and require lots of patience.

>>712990078 (OP)
>MGSV with even more open world walking trash with awful enemy patrols
Death Stranding is literally just Kojima squeezing his fans for money, to fund his paying Hollywood actors and actresses to pretend to care about him for a day

The guy playing was so extremely nervous that he had stomach problems the day before, when they showed his hands you could see his hands literally shaking, imagine playing for a thousands of people around the world. He wasn't built for that but the combat is great otherwise journos would have complained about it and they played 30 hours and NO ONE said anything bad about the combat, they all said it is improved

Literally yeah it's just a gadget game where you use gadgets to overcome harsh terrain and enemy obstacles

Solid technique.

Imagine trekking up that mountain.

>>712990078 (OP)
im glad he dropped the facade of wanting to make a shitty walking sim and hes back to making metal gear

>>713005143
See that mountain? You can climb it.

>>712991161
Building your zipline network after finishing the story really is the best part of the game.

>>713003847
thats just the usual contrarianism 'round these parts..

>>713004386
>Sam can get sunburn if he's too long in the sun.
This fucking game man

>>713005157
This. Fuck deliveries. If there's even a single delivery in DS2 I'm returning it.

>>713004386
Holy shit look at the glitter when the sun shines on the sand. Nah man, Kojima cooked way too hard with this game. Mf thought about everything!

>>712994356
>shows a highway, vehicle, and ability that weren't in the original version of the game

>>713005582
On god FR FR

tanking damage while you slowly walk through sludge as you shoot bullet sponge bosses is not good combat. the original was like this and going by this >>712990119 the sequel will be just as bad

>>713005582

Where are the leaks?

>>712990078 (OP)
cool, now why would I play this over a competent over the shoulder shooter?

Fragile is so cute in DS2. Now that I look at her model in DS1, it was kind of a bad model compared to everyone else.

>>713005720
shut up

>>713005796
No one wants to play your game

>>713006204
This is gay as hell. I want to deliver packages, not play "Gravure for You".

>>713005517
most of DS2 is still a game about delivery, it's not a action focused game even if there's more action

this suit is gonna be hot in the desert

>>713005582
Death Stranding 2 is one of the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing games I have ever seen. Kojima and his team were cooking like wizards.

>>713005729
She's cute in DS1 too but DS2 models in general are a huge upgrade

>>712990078 (OP)
A great evolution of the Strand game genre

>>712990826
Kojima is anti-Trump
DS1 had a whole commentary about the wall.

>>713006434
God imagine how sweaty Sam is under that

>>713006768
from the faces (eyes!) and their subtle movements, to the animations and to the fucking environments... this has to be the best looking game yet. KJP are legit wizards. This game will look unbelievable on our tv screens

>>713007273
I bought an 8K OLED just for DS2. It's going to be the perfect game to break it in.
I just hope the PS5 Pro can do 8K on this game.

I forgot, does death stranding need the PS+ to connect online?

those fucking BTs are annoying as fuck
they are not challenging or anything they are annoying and kojimbo is retarded

>>713007370
Damn, based.

>>713007376
Hell no, Kojima would never allow that. He's our guy! Online as in DS1 is completely free. Thankfully Kojima fully owns the rights to Death Stranding otherwise you can bet sony would have put online behind a paywall

>>713007570
the one downside of sony no longer owning the franchise is that I'm not sure Kojima will be able to have the help of other sony studios (a LOT of them worked on the original game and probably same for the sequel) and the Decima engine (which is owned by Sony)
OD already is switching to Unreal

>>713007387
>Combat against BTs, meanwhile, is more active this time. The previously invisible enemies are more visible now, not to mention the new Watcher type that can properly see Sam rather than sense him, resulting in some tense sneaking. And with plenty of weapon types to retaliate with, BT encounters are no longer a tedious lesson in holding your breath but shootouts against nightmarish visions.

>>713007370
You spent 4000 dollars (minimum) for ONE game?

>>712991161
The game is about using tools so you don't have to walk

Not gonna lie I would have enjoyed the first game more if not for the spoopy forced stealth and combat. BTs weren't very engaging to begin with and quickly became annoying and dreaded.

>>713008081
Not just for one game, but DS2 will be the start, yes.

>>713008146
DS2 is going to be even more of that, so I'm a bit concerned too.

>>713008146
That's why these encounters are way better now in DS2, Kojima took fan feedback to heart and made everything better. Not a single journo who played 30 hours of the game complained about BTs

>>713007370
>I just hope the PS5 Pro can do 8K on this game
Can PSSR upscale to 8K in any games at all?

This shit better have some kind of co-op with NPCs or players.

Is the first game like this? I've been meaning to play it but from what I'd heard it wasn't this action-oriented.

>>713008341
I still think an online mode where players play MULEs and have to beat each others or cooperate with the winner being the the player with the most packages would be a cool idea

>>713008312
PS5 Pro supports 8K native so I don't see why not.

>>713008341
>Drawbridge Support
could hint at a MGSV buddy like system

>>712990271
Because a lot of it is meaningless filler scenery that you hardly interact with.

>>713007772
There was nothing wrong with holding your breath and sneaking. People need to learn some patience. It's like Silent Hill the enemies are there to make you miserable and it's better to avoid them.

>>712999004
>I'm not playing because x
>actually x isn't even slightly true
>um well actually I'm not going to play it anyway
Well just say that in the first place you dumb contrarian fuck.

Remember that if you have any criticism or doubts, that is by design. He wanted this game to be divisive.

It's really weird how he retroactively defends himself.

>>713008636
either he's saying that to be smug or the game has something that actually completely change things enough to be very divisive

>>713008484
I fucking hate the Alan Wake doll already. I hate when games just add some quirky voice to quip every now and then.
I hope I can turn him off but I bet I won't be able to. He's in the cutscenes.

>>713008605
Hold Breath is still in the game, don't worry. They didn't remove shit, all they did is make everything way better

>>713008738
>I hate when games just add some quirky voice to quip every now and then
This is the divisive feature that Kojima says players will hate. Guaranteed.

>>713008738
That's because people complained about DS1 not having enough humor. Can you guys just fucking stop complaining about shit?

I've been meaning to play 1 but I still haven't figured out whether I should be playing the original release or director's cut.

>>713008738
You do not want to turn him off, journos loved him. You think he's annoying but he's not

>>713008918
Wow, what a bunch of faggots. God forbid a different IP doesn't have Metal Gear's humor.

>>713008738
>Next up is my guy, Dollman. This dude is the best.

devs need to learn to stop mixing "stop motion" with high FPS it literally just looks like the game is lagging

>>713008738
I honestly don't think he's going to be that chatty outside of story deliveries. Might make the occasional quip when you fuck up or something but will probably stay quite outside of it.

>>713009182
>>713009008
>journos loved

So he's actually shit, damn it.

>>713009239

>>713007370
nigga my 7900xtx 7800x3d pc can barely handle 4k, how the fuck is a shitty playstation going to handle 8k? upscaled from 1080p? lmao

>>713008918
Nah that's bullshit bud, Kojima didn't add him because people complained about not enough humor, that's complete nonsense.
>In Death Stranding 2, Hideo Kojima added the character Dollman, also known as The Living Doll, to represent a desire for connection and to explore themes of isolation and the human experience, particularly in the context of the pandemic. The character is inspired by Bunraku puppets and the director Fatih Akin, who asked Kojima to include him in the game.

>>713008918
Why would you even lie this blatantly?

>>713004181
>different genres, EXIST???!!!!!

>whoaaa man kojima is wiiiiild, i don't understand any of this stuff its so crazy duude like whaat?
>My name is Dollman because I'm a man that is in a Doll, because I was once human but now I'm not I got stuck in a doll and because of that I'm a Doll but also a man, so Dollman, yupp that's where the name comes from. So yes, I move like a puppet but really I'm a man, I used to be a guy just like you but now I'm a doll, man.
craazy man, i have no idea what he's trying to tell us with this i understood none of that xD he's like gamings Lynch

will death stranding 1 players have any bonus ingame for playing the second game?

>>713009947
bonus brain damage

>>713007729
He’s doing Physint with Sony, shouldn’t be a problem.

>>713009947
nothing has been announced so most likely not

>>713010058
Physint is a special case, it's a collaboration with Sony movie studio, but the franchise itself isn't owned by Sony but his studio

>>713008146
It’s actually very trivial to get through BTs once you have the speed skeleton. You sprint with that thing (and periodically jump) and they’ll never get you, it was great once I discovered that on a repeat playthough.

>>713010101
Make sense desu, Sam no longer works for Bridge, who owned all the stuff he used in the original game
drawbridge is it's own faction

>>712990078 (OP)
I thought you people liked this shit because it was so "calm" and "enjoy the landspaces," the fact that you're okay with this just tells me you will like whatever Kojima shits out.

>>713010360
I know you're not used to games being too complex and this will confuse your small, childlike brain but it's almost as if I can enjoy the action combat and the laid back relaxing parts and those 2 facts do not contradict each other in the slightest.

>>713010143
Interesting, I figured Sony was funding it given that the head Honcho at the time Hulst was the one who suggested that Kojima make another metal gear equivalent.

>>713010582
it might be connected to the metal gear movie, which is also done at Sony movie studio

>>713010508
>I know you're not used to games being too complex and this will confuse your small, childlike brain
I already knew you pretend to like this to look smart, but damn that being your argument is funny as fuck, what are you 16?

Same basic game premise, combat’s just more fleshed out/smoother.

Death Stranding 2 was TOO good that Kojima had to scale it back
Our minds weren't ready for his pure kino vision

>>712991113
It's a hiking simulator

>>712990078 (OP)
I need this, it's the proper amount of sci-fi bleep and blooping I like, with the type of aesthetic I like. I can look past the Japanese idiocy in the story if I can get the vibes I want.

You guys all bitched the first one didn't have much combat and now there's more combat but now you want less combat and more walking. What the fuck is wrong with you all?

I liked the combat in 1. It's simple and there's nothing wrong with simple.

>>713013547
Nah, I'm cool with this dude. Fucking love what I'm seeing. I have zero interest in the first game cause of the no-guns thing.

>>713014219
They game actively discourages you from shooting everything whilst giving you the option to. Which is complete bullshit imo.

>>713014219
every gun gets a non-lethal variant as well as anti-BT weaponry so you could always use guns
not only guns but also fists, dropkicks, rope to parry and tie people up, electrified gloves to punch harder, cargo cases can be thrown, all sorts of grenades, decoys, even the catapult can be used against enemies

anything can be a weapon in Death Stranding, vehicles too. At worst you ride to a tar lake to dispose of them or leave them at distro center which docks a few likes.

>>713014115
>Sees man holding his child

...so, how hard is this going to flop? I barely see any hype outside of Kojimatards sucking it off on social media.

>>712990078 (OP)
I've never played death stranding. But why don't they just fly drones with packages?
Also I thought that if someone died it would cause a nuclear explosion. So why is he killing all these guys?

>>712994492
Just...why?

>>713014115
What the actual fuck is wrong with you?

>>713014783
why not?

>>713014756
>But why don't they just fly drones with packages?
Because the BTs can just shoot them down easily with their black goo cum. It's why they prefer human porters assisted by technology for the most part.

>>712990078 (OP)
shootslop

>>713014879
Because it looks stupid when juxtaposed against the forced realism.

>>713014978
Death Stranding is actually a very video-gamey game.

>>713007729
I think he's got the hang of the Decima engine this time around + he learned from the failings of the first game (to a degree). He doesn't need the kikes lording over his interactive movie slop.

Still won't win GOTY over Expedition 33, however.

>>713015018
It is. A common complaint on release was that the game lacks detail compared to Metal Gear but after years of playing it I can say that it is simply not true.

Sam has a button dedicated just to saying random things and you can use it anytime. He makes fun of the ending credits, taunts enemies, responds to online porters, talks to NPC porters, sings along with NPCs in the ponds. You can get your ear bitten off in the Higgs fight and it stays that way forever. There is just so much to discover. This game was made in 3 years and Kojima put so much heart into it.

>>713014756
They had delivery robots in DS1, but they were flawed prototypes that were easily destroyed by Mules and BTs, and also couldn’t cover rough terrain like human porters could

>>712990078 (OP)
>>712990119
Aw sweet! More Gears of War!!!

>>712990826
He hates Trump. Although I think he hates him because it's the cool Hollywood thing to do.

>>713015505
they did replaced most human porters by DS2, makes me wonder if we still will see random porters again

All I want is a system that automatically takes care of people I kill.

I don't want to be forced to be non-lethal. I want to be able to kill and clear out mule camps. A system in which I can call some robot dots or drones or something to come collect the bodies and incinerate them for me, and I can completely clear out a MULE camp so they don't respawn for a long time, that would be nice.

Same goes for BTs. I want to clear out the places they spawn permanently and cleanse it so they don't respawn, maybe make it a more difficult task to do, something you need to prepare for with a tougher boss fight, but let me at least try to kill them so I can then drive through a zone without getting pulled out of the car and dragged off to a boss fight I have no desire to do for the 10th time.

>>712990595
>doesn't suddenly make it okay.
Wrong. That is exactly what makes it okay and it is ALWAYS okay when Kojima does it.

>>713015770
you could actually use lethal weapons without much consequences in the first game if you were fast enough
the new game also have robot enemies which allow lethal weapons

>>712990704
Nah. I disagree with the guy you're replying to, but journey and flower are not video games, you fucking retarded faggot.

>>712990271
A walking simulator could work, but it needs to be good. If you don't have gameplay, you can't get away with having mediocre storytelling and cinematography like what 95% of games have.

>>713015982
I mean I honestly never tested anything lethal when I played the first game, because the game told you over and over again if you kill someone they will explode, so I just only used non-lethal, but I also recently learned that if you do kill someone you just get a bunch of radio chatter and a game over screen eventually, but then you can just reload a checkpoint and continue on so it didn't really matter if you did kill people.

>Alas, there is a singular blemish upon our relationship – a singular regret that weighs upon my soul. It concerns the one wish you so cruelly failed to grant me. I speak, of course, of my delivery from Lake Knot City to South. I will readily admit I am not one to forgive and forget – and this flaw compels me not to allow you to forget either. Consigning my package to the bottom of a tar lake instead of seeing it to its intended destination was an unconscionable act hardly befitting a professional porter. For shame.

BASED AS FUCK

>>713015341
Nigga, Metroid Prime 4 is about to reinvent the concept of the FPS genre and revolutionize vidya as we know it. It's easily winning GOTY over FFrench goyslop any day.

Watch the Synthetic Man analysis. He points out how aggressively shitty the AI is during the stealth sections.

I honestly feel like Death Stranding is closer in tone to MGR than other Metal Gear games. It gets so crazy and silly. You can see just how much DS2 leans into it.

>>713019506
Isn't that guy some ragebaiter? I don't watch reviews anymore and judge things by myself, but I heard he had a very bad rep

>>712990078 (OP)
what if i haven’t played the first?

>>713019668
ironic considering Kojima had nothing to do with MGR's writing and direction

>>713019738
You're better off. DS2 is going to completely invalidate DS1 because it's better in every way.

>>713019778
Kojima really, really liked MGR despite what people might think. He was the one who handed it to Platinum and saved it from development hell.

>>713019506
>watching Futaman in the current year

>>713019887
It's a bit more complicated since Kojima originally also didn't wanted MGR (thinking it would also not work like the original canceled game) and the producer on the Konami side was the one who convinced him, but yeah he really did like the game

>>713019160
This sounds like fake as fuck publicity bullshit. What actual changes can they really make in such a short time?

>>712990078 (OP)
this looks pretty stupid

>>713019675
>Isn't that guy some ragebaiter?
No, he's literally /ourguy/ and doesn't hold back from shitting on current_year vidya. His only weakness is his futa fetish.

>>713020229
sounds more like yet another culture-war fighter...

>>713020123
halfway through development, dumbass. So if overall dev time was 6 years he started changing shit around 3 years in

I could fix him

>>713020347
the original plan for death stranding 2 wasn't even a game, it was a DLC for the first game, but then covid happened and things changed a lot and became much more expansive

>>712994070
Why do people bother carrying extra pairs of boots around? I've never broken any mid delivery.

>>713019506
Stop shilling your videos here you absolute fucking loser

>>713020401
I don't really know how they can make him more human when the dude is some loser who was a terrorist then decided to become a insane cult leader, but who knows what Kojima cook

>>713020447
and? changes nothing of what I've just said

>>713020447
I can see it being a DLC where you play as Luo that they changed into a full game with bringing Sam back

>>712992059
I think you meant cold. That's doesn't look cool at all.

>>713020468
I did and it ended up being a slow, painful walk back to a distribution center. I ended up falling down a ravine that took forever to get out of. I think the entire trip was two hours

>>713020401
This ship unironically goes so hard

>>713020636
I think it was Fragile actually. The reason the DLC could not be made is because Lea could not be reached during covid.

>>713018834
the amount of detail in this game is astonishing. im so hyped for ds2 bros

>>713018834
>>713021132
The fact that Kojima put this much detail into the game when it was like only 3 years in development is just insane but Kojima games are famous for having TONS of hidden easter eggs and details. Now imagine what he did with DS2 which was twice as long in development

>>712990078 (OP)
walking simulators have the potential to be interesting but they never bother developing the actual walking.

>>713020531
If they found a way to cure his DOOMs or at least keep it in check he would revert back to normal. Before DS1 events he used to be a legendary porter that wanted to help people. You meet one of the veteran porters that worked for him and he describes his descent into madness.

>>713021509
did you even play the game nigga

while fighting BTs you should carry a normal lethal gun but either paint the BT with a blood grenade or shoot through the cloud for extra damage

>>713021509
>they never bother developing the actual walking
This. Just HOLD W for 1000 hours. Fucking garbage. Fuck Kojima, fucking hack.

That’s why DS2 will be a genuine masterpiece. A solid foundation and 6 years of dev time.

>>713023136
Yes, it will literally be the MGS2 for a whole new generation.

Is smoking kino?

>>712990078 (OP)

You can tell that Tomorrow is a grown up Lou because she’s super autistic like Sam

>>713024247
What's a voidout?

>>713003948
Pretty much running deliveries. There’s bad guys who hold territory and areas with ghost monsters, but you learn to avoid or manage them pretty early on. Occasional boss fights and stuff, but most of your time goes to navigating rough terrain

>>713024456
When one of the monsters eats you, it causes a big explosion that nukes anything nearby

>>713023736
In media it depends. But it's the gayest shit ever IRL.

>>712991896
actually i think it would be better if they gave you better tools for climbing and then made it the same kind of game as mgsv

Shalom

I got mad after they zapped my truck and gunned a bunch down. He told me to incinerate them

Dude Kojima is legit such a funny guy LMAO

how the hell did he not understand this? Did he not understand the literal character he was playing even after all the dialogues???

Death Stranding on Switch 2 when?
Maybe then I'd give it a go. This game can run on a fucking iPhone, surely Switch 2 can run it?

>>713025708
An iPhone 15 is about 5x as powerful as a Switch 2, so no, it cannot run it.

>>713025456
Kojima once said he would play a great Solid Snake or something like that and maybe Luca then somehow thought he would play the real Solid Snake, either way, very funny

>>713025870
Does he not understand that Kojima doesn't own Metal Gear? Or maybe he thought Kojima ended up working on a new MG game regardless...

>>713025946
Kojima wishes he owned Metal Gear

Reminder that Higgs did nothing wrong.

>>713026176
I mean, the new Metal Gear dude pretty much said "Oh I'd love Kojima to work on a new game" so really, if Kojima wants to return he probably could easily do it

>>713020531
>decided
Amelie groomed him into it

Uh...redditbros, I thought all walking sims were bad, why is yume nikki considered /v/ culture? Is the correct group think to hate it or like it?

Walking... Dead? It's can't be!

>>713026520
I think the only ones who actually gave a damn about the story were Troy Baker and Die-Hardman actor, all the other actors seems to be like "ohhhh Kojima is so crazy I don't understand" they plays very well but I don't think they cared much of what it actually was

>>712990078 (OP)
All that and the game still doesnt let you go prone

>>712990271
How does having action stop you from enjoying the scenery when youre traveling around? The majority of the game is still just delivering shit and walking

I wish Death Stranding had a cargo difficulty setting. Setting it to very hard would make cargo more sensitive to timefall, packages would not only break more easily but your score would absolutely tank if the condition of the items were below 90% health, even things like cargo package health heavily playing into your score, making things like the cargo repair spray absolutely necessary for S ranks and stuff, that or just jumping for cover immediately as soon as it starts raining.

and it would also impact things like how long your boots lasted, your actual equipment would take damage during timefall, so boots would degrade very quickly when running around in the rain. Also way more missions like the pizza ones where it matters how you physically interact with the packages, like forcing you to hold them a certain way.

Am I the only one or would this be super fun? I would love to be playing and be forced to actually think about all this stuff

>>713007370
>I just hope the PS5 Pro can do 8K on this game
Was /v/ always this retarded?

>>713026176
In a way he always will. Death Stranding has so much of Metal Gear DNA that I get the same feeling while playing it or seeing anything from DS2.

>walking in death stranding
lol
imagine

>>713022903
Just say you never played the game next time.

>>713027226
Nah it's a Dark Souls situation. A difficulty setting would just make the game worse since it's a carefully balanced and fine tuned experience. There are times when difficulty should be customizable, this is not one of them. You already have somewhat difficulty by simply choosing to not care as much about the scoring. That's your difficulty.

Now if you want to say that there should be more harder deliveries cause the ones we have are too easy then honestly yeah I'd agree with you. The best deliveries in DS1 are the pizza ones cause they're fucking arduous.

>>712990078 (OP)
>>712990119
Looks as bad as MGSV

>>713027502
*good

>>713027406
>A difficulty setting would just make the game worse
the game already has a difficulty setting though. I'm just asking for a more fine tuned one. The difficulty setting as it stands already does impact stuff like how long structures last but its not really nearly punishing enough at very hard

>>713027525
Nuh uh unsaid

>>713007128
DS2 will be about
>whoa we were wrong actually, biden years were so much worse

Reminder that kojima is a hipster faggot hollywood cultist and he is keeping the gameplay bad on purpose specifically to ragebait people into disliking it because it's part of his arty vision or whatever the fuck. I can't wait for him to fucking retire.

I am so glad Kojima is still filtering retarded /v/iggers after so many decades. Heil Kojima, Heil Hitler.

>>713027746
HEIL

>>713027226
It would be fun. I think they wanted to avoid overwhelming the player. I ended up really not having to worry about time fall, MULES if I have a vehicle, BTs if I go around, ladders, climbing anchors. Actually a little too easy to avoid, ignore, or brute force a lot of the challenges

>>712990078 (OP)

Wow. That sounds really fucking boring and tedious. Yes, PLEASE just add tedium to my fucking game for no reason other than so I can stroke my fucking cock and brag that I beat a challenge WHICH WAS MEANT TO BE BEATEN. Also this is the only way I can appreciate games if I get a stupid fucking challenge to complete like I'm some stupid fucking monkey in a cage being fed sugar water.

>>713028287
Shouldn't 'av damaged me cargo. Simple as

you saw 10 minutes of a no commentary playthrough

>>712990271
I buy this game solely for the walking sim, but please think outside the box a little.
2 hour, boring as shit Kojima cutscene -> Walking segment -> 30 minute, boring as shit Kojima cutscene -> Walking segment -> 30 minute, boring as shit Kojima cutscene -> Repeat til the end of the game until you get a 2 hour, boring as shit cutscene again.
I don't know why you guys get the idea that his stuff outside of the gameplay is nothing but absolute garbage. It has been for a very long time now.

Bridges, ziplines, vehicles, various exoskeletons that one has to juggle depending on environmental circumstances, varying terrain conditions (snow, slopes, etc.), of course the constant need to balance depending on cargo config, constantly degrading status meters (Sam’s stamina, BB’s condition, cargo condition). But yeah sure it’s just ladders and climbing anchors.

The mule camps look like a huge upgrade over the first, it’s great to see that they’re much more distinct this time around

What anime will he rip off this time?

>>713029491
Probably Evangelion again. Practically all his stories are riffs on Eva in some form or another

>>713029487
Apparently the camps are actual vertical buildings now too with multiple stages

>>713029623
Yeah it’s gonna be great. Did they say anything in the previews about wandering enemy patrols? That’s a bit of a pet peeve I had with the original, the encounters with the mules were a bit static

Kojima learned nothing

>>713029235
So mad that his directed cutscenes are fucking garbage. Go watch any movie and you will know this. You could even watch Marvelslop and get the idea.

Kojima mindbreaks you because you are Untermensch.

>>713029468
Ironically, it's the terminally online jeets who are trying to convince you that yellow paint in games is "a good thing," and they do it for free.

>>713030313
What are video games to you? Do you think they should just be these stupid fucking pointless contrived challenges forever?

>>713030390
I have never seen a single pajeet defend the use of yellow paint. Probably because they're too busy raping their 5 year old cousins and eating cow poo to even give a shit about any of this. And if there are actually some of them defending it, I can guarantee there would be more of them being against yellow paint since they would be a part of the neurotic hivemind known as 'gamers'.

>>713030815
Nope. I didn't say anything about getting rid of cutscenes entirely. I just said Kojima is dogshit at making cutscenes because they are incredibly uninteresting while being an average of 20 minutes. Everything interesting happens in the gameplay. The characters are mediocre at best, that's it.

bump

>>712999020
> t. pretentious retard who uses e-celeb's info only

I want to tap in Kojima's gameplay mechanics, feeling a thirst for it, but I don't know if I install Death Stranding or MGSV. I want DS because of the comfy atmosphesre and going something an anon mentioned here a few days ago: raid MULE camps and give their loot to postal box to whoever may need in the network. Dunno about MGSV though, I guess just shoot stuff with real guns.

>>713031247
yeah...I always want to like his cutscenes more than I do. They're incredibly stylish and unique but he rarely lands those easy emotional moments that film has basically perfected.
People tell me I'm just getting filtered but idk...feels like he could do better.
or maybe it's a translation thing. The thing is I generally enjoy japanese cinema and find no problems with cultural differences/translations there.

damn 2025 /v/ is all about defending gacha, open-world slop, walking simulators and yellow paint

Voidouts are very rare and never are a danger for the player. The Game

The PS5 has no other interesting exclusive, I really REALLY wish to play it on release but it looks like I will have to pass

>>713036034
you're just looking for something to complain about

>>713036034
>in fucking 202x
This is why people hate zoomer scum like you, you know absolutely NOTHING about the development of this game, that this game was made with a skeleton crew barely having an office to work in, his team not familar with a brand new engine yet, they had to learn everything from start. Now that his team knows the engine better DS2 will feature a day & night cycle, weird how that works huh? If I could Thanos snap zoomer trash like you away I'd do it in a heartbeat

>>713034665
To be honest, I can't remember a single gun from that game except for the pistol, not even their names

I like DS but BTs creep me out and I have to be drunk to play it, and then I forget story points that happened when I last played. I've started over 3 times already and I've never gotten past the point where you start building roads. I fucking hate BTs man, I wish the only enemies were MULEs.

>>713036034
>hold both triggers to recover instantly from anything and never fall. The Game
drains your stamina faster, if you are very heavily burdened you still have to lean.
>No a real cycle of day/night in fucking 202x. The Game
not really an issue, this is nitpicking.
>Always online for silly memes and upvotes in the middle of nowhere, The Game
always online is a problem when it comes to DRM, you can still play this game offline.
>Voidouts are very rare and never are a danger for the player. The Game
voidouts are more of a risk to the player if they play aggressively/lethally or do a poor job dealing with BT infested areas. it isn't supposed to be a massive risk to the player, it is supposed to incentivize nonlethal play.

>>713034665
>>713036498
I loved the guns in that game and the frankenstein building was kino.

>>713036498
it was the first metal gear game with made up/knock off guns, but the weapons you use would more often than not be something you made after you unlock the gunsmith that is an amalgamation of the best gun parts you have available. really funny, before they patched it and fixed it, people were making rocket launcher pistols.
