>Okay it's a walking simulator. And that's a good thing. Americans are great fans of first-person shooters and Death Stranding isn't one, it flies higher.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Death Stranding. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the trigger buttons most of the traversal will go over a typical gamer's head. There's also Kojima's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his writing - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Hollywood movies, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these references, to realize that they're not just films - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Death Stranding truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the meaning behind Amelie's existential catchphrase "Like Mario and Princess 'Beach'" which itself is a cryptic reference to videogame classic, Super Mario Bros. 2. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Kojima's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Norman Reedus tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Slit your throat
>>713590294 (OP)Kojima was never good and mgs was good due to his staff and mr fukushima hard carrying. That's the final verdict. He's a fraud.
>>713594457I mean the vast majority of good games are good because of the combined efforts of the whole team instead of one visionary. This individual worship really needs to stop.
Kojimbo DOES NOT know how to write scenes or dialogues. He only knows how to make games. The day he will stop with this hollywood bullshit maybe things will progress.
>>713594048>2019>Playstation release>"What is this walking simulator game? Where are the trans people?! 4/10">PC release year later.>"Holy fuck this game is kino, its like Mudrunner with ghosts!"Just further proof that this site is infested with Resetards and Snoytrannies.
Holy shit thereโs a lot of seethe in this thread.
PS5 continues it's tradition of having no games
>>713590294 (OP)I really don't like the shift into it being more goofy and filled to the brim with actors and personalities like it's some Adam Sandler movie. The original also had it, but this one kick it up a notch.
>>713595005He knows how to write decent dialogue. Problem is his stupid obsession of over-explaining absolutely everything. Last game cutscenes explained it to the player 3 fucking times that Mads is Reeds father. You only needed the first one where you can put two and two together but then Kojima thinks the players are retarded and decides to explain it a 2nd time in a long unskippable cutscene and finally a third time in a long half an hour cutscene which is the exact same shit happening but from a different camera angle.
>>713595216>Last game cutscenes explained it to the player 3 fucking times that Mads is Reeds father.Literally the same thing happens in this one, the explain every plot point 3 times. Not sure if Kojima thinks gamers are retarded or what
The GREAT AND EXPERIENCED MINDS AT IGN gave it a 7/10
Kek
>>713590294 (OP)No wonder movie theaters are dying.
>>713592231Most exclusivity deals for games last about a year, so it'll probably be Summer 2026 before you see it on PC. It's possibly it could be a six-month contract, so that means it would come to PC by January 2026
>>713590294 (OP)A lot of stuff in Death Stranding looked very embarrasing already.
Kojima just doubled down.
There's no save transfer from DS1 or anything like that, right?
Since I already finished the normal version for PS4, I have the Director's Cut on Epic that we received for free. I was wondering which one I should replay before I'll start DS2.
Maybe there will be more people on PS, which also means more help with ladders, roads etc?
Better gameplay with some cool scenes if you divorce the context they are put in. Story as a whole is a mess like the first game. Maybe even worse in some parts if you try to digest what Kojima's trying to say and connect it all together.
Its a non-entity until it arrives on PC (via Steam; I can't imagine they'd be stupid enough to go Epic exclusive but just in case). Kojimbo himself realized that PC players meant the most long tail sales and the most dedicated playerbase, so its not like they have the excuse like the PS4 days of just making a deal with the Snoys and not knowing if it would be worthwhile elsewhere etc. A concurrent release would be be best, a month would be acceptable to ensure all the PC only settings working to their best capabilities, 3 months seems like the max if they expect people to pay full price and keep launch hype going
>>713595516>Maybe even worse in some parts if you try to digest what Kojima's trying to say and connect it all together.Don't tell me you got filtered by "We will not let a collective consciousness control every aspect of our lives even if it means we'll die out, at least we'll die trying" or "You need to stop dwelling on loss and move on, destruction is a part of life"?
>>713590294 (OP)>Ultra high creative world, narrative, game design choices etc.>/v/ will shit on it while saying "I WANT ORIGINAL GAMES WITH HEART AND SOUL!"I admit, Death Stranding didn't need a second one, but you are getting exactly what you wanted, original new ideas and creative worlds to explore and here you are, mad, for no reason.
Stay salty, never buy games that are good, and only fund piles of shit like God of War Ragnarock or Last of Us 2.
>>713595216That's just how the Japanese like their storytelling
>>713590294 (OP)Why are those 2 directors back?
Holy fucking shit the kikes ITT are absolutely seething, they're scared that DS2 will be successful and Sony will start funding more Japanese games and not commiefornia filth.
>>713595696/v/'s purity scale for original ideas is impossible to attain. Every game is in some way inspired by others, its impossible to avoid. The most original IP with unheard of mechanics could drop tomorrow and /v/ would shift the goalposts and shit on it by saying its unoriginal because it uses wasd to move and mouse for camera
>>713595216>but then Kojima thinks the players are retardedHe's absolutely right, and he knows anyone who bought this is mentally impaired so he made his games compensate.
>>713596003Generally speaking if a game is good /v/ doesn't shit on it as much. Death stranding has shit gameplay therefore its other elements are scrutinized more heavily because no one plays it for the gameplay.
The same people who like Yakuza like Death Stranding, they also like Rick and Morty.
This is my observation.
>>713596808>YakuzaHas good games and meh games, games have good moments and boring slog
>Rick and MortyHas highs and lows. Hating a show because of normie hivemind is just as retarded as loving one.
>Death StrandingLooks like typical kojimbo-slop. His best game still is MGS1, and MGR is the best MG game since then.
>>713590294 (OP)jesus fucking christ did that hack add george miller to his game now too?
this obssession with has-beens who havent made anything decent in a decade
oh wait i realized i just described kojima
