How did Kuhjombe brainwash his fans to this level?

I dont remember ever even getting into combat encounters in the first game except for the few boss fights, most of which are against Mads Mikkelson

Real men know there are times for ropes and there are times for sticks.

Kojanki isn't a real man then because the entirety of Death Stranding 1's story was moaning about how humanity shouldn't have pick up a stick. Cliff's entire character arc, for example, was based on that idea.

>>713030958 (OP)
the first game was about the rope, the second game is about the stick. That's why the sequel is more combat focused

And 2 is him admitting he was wrong about that. Shouldn’t that make you happy?

that isn't it at all. it isn't that the rope "is better". it is that too few games are made just about the stick. both are necessary tools, but games have already thoroughly explored what it means to use a stick.

What's funny is that this cultish behaviour came to being after he left Konami. Almost 10 years and not a single good video game.

I remember that Spider-Man 3 game, at least on PSP, kinda did that with the black suit. Black and red suits have separate skill trees, and black suit is plain stronger and easier to play even if you invest into red's skill tree so naturally you'd want to use it, but the more you use it the more unstable and weak it becomes, and by 3/4 of the game the black suit is gone entirely and you're left with whatever you pumped into the red Spiderman. Wanted easymode? Get punished with hardmode (or grind side missions mode).
Same could be the case here, action is fun but it will become harder and harder until you can't handle it, while bridging will remain manageable even if you do too much action.

Every weapon has its use in Death Stranding so stop lying. You get non-lethal variants, lethal weapons can be used against BTs and Cliff. The game does not punish you for using weapons, it punishes you for using them wrong. And even then you can correct it by burning bodies, bringing them to tar lakes or dumping them at the distro center for docked likes.

combat was by far the worst part of death stranding
