ITT riveting gameplay

This, but unironically

You'll buy it anyway

>Not near max capacity for weight while also trying to sneak through BT territory and avoiding combat to keep near max quality

The games as challenging and fun as you make it. I also set up half a dozen zip lines to do my own snowboarding downhill jam

>>713669628
Tim has my copy covered.

Walking games are pure garbage.

>>713669520 (OP)

It's great slap some celebs on and piss5 players will gloat they get it first!

Enjoy his game

>>713670648
Now show the Half Life intro. /v/'s favorite game

>>713670648
congrats on realizing that video games are toys for children that distract you with colorful pixels

>>713670740
I wish I had it anon. I need to expose those shitters

>>713670740
Yeah it's intro and the game knows this so does the player, it's not trying to trick you into thinking it's something it's not.
In fact I've seen plenty of people complain about HL1 and 2 having to long of an intro on replays.

At this point, why don't you actually touch grass and go on a real hike?

How the fuck does he keep inventing so many things bros

Kojimbo, I kneel

>>713671301
Managing equipment, weight and balance while traversing through dangerous environments, choosing the most efficient and safest route and avoiding enemy territory. In other words, literally nothing like other walk and talk games that have no real mechanics like DS does

>>713671014
Always skip the intro with the map command lel

>>713669520 (OP)
Walking. Something that people can only do in videogames and not in real life la creatividad

>>713669520 (OP)
Can you get a bike in this one too? I thought the first one became a lot more fun once I got one, still dropped it though

>>713673356
You get a bike after like the 4th mission.

>>713669520 (OP)
fun fact I do this is in real life all the time.
I just go for walks, you should try it sometime anon, you don't always need everything to be "riveting" all the time.

>>713669520 (OP)
It actually is through. The exploration is great in DS, it's everything else about the game that sucks. It's one of the few games that understand that the moment to moment gameplay of just moving from point A to B should be fun.

>>713672190
i just finished the game and those things barely mean anything and are easily dealt with

>>713674028
They matter a lot in the early game but vehicles and ziplines negate some of the core gameplay

>>713672190
The complexity and depth of those mechanics is overstated, especially since there's autosort and a ton of features that invalidate them after the first trip.

>>713669520 (OP)
It's a movie where you have to walk to the next movie scene

>>713669520 (OP)
The most insane part, for me, is that Sony just let him do this. They let him syphon company money to fund THIS shit. They honestly deserve each other.

>>713670539
I really like Kojima. I'm gonna cry when he dies.

>>713669520 (OP)
I also made a disingenuous webm for you, OP

>>713670648
I don't understand what the criticism is. Visuals context, characters, and ambiance are important.

>>713669520 (OP)

>>713670539
did it rain on the day he was born as well?

>>713669520 (OP)
doesn't look that different from large portions of bethesda games and people eat that shit up. at least death stranding is somewhat more mechanically interesting.

>>713674352
6 years of game development and the main features of this game are the absurd amount of cutscenes and celebs you can recognize

>>713671301
Gamers will do literally anything but actually go outside

>>713669520 (OP)
The walking simulator part was the best part of the first game, it was the story I couldn't stomach.

>>713669520 (OP)
>>713669585
It really Cogito my Ergo Sum.

So is this just a Dear Esther remake?

>>713675412
Its crazy how bad of a writer kojima is especially with dialogue

>>713674403
I see numerous enemies in the distance and you have weapons, so you know there's combat. Death Stranding 2, the second strand type game, doesn't have any gameplay except slowly trudging along a boring fucking landscape.

needs an autorun toggle

>>713670740
are you really going to shit talk a game thats 21 years old

>>713670648
>sperg whiteboxes a level
>thinks this is an epic revelation
this is literally how every single game in existence works.

the only games that break out of this linear design are open world games, which typically makes your kind cry and shit their pants.

>>713675830
Actually DS2 has a lot more enemy encampments now and specific missions where you're supposed to fight them. Some might actually consider it a detriment but the combat is fun enough for what it is.

>>713669520 (OP)
UGGHHHHHHHH CINEMA

>>713669520 (OP)
Because you are walking you have to actually balance the triggers and such if running especially on uneven ground

people should have been talking about this instead of the gay nu-male story. a gay story is one thing and ignorable, but that webm is unforgivable

>>713674028
>>713674180
this is my problem with the game. They introduce traversal mechanics that could be interesting and challenging, and then just as quickly introduce vehicles and ziplines that totally bypass it.
I'd rather have a linear set of challenges than what they did.

>>713669913
Nier automata is so freaking shit

>noooooo we still don't have the feet scans how will we ever finish this game?!

>>713669520 (OP)

>>713670539
Kojima trying so hard to rebrand himself from a gaming dork to a serious, broody cinéma auteur is embarrassing.

>>713674446
Just laugh, and be glad that you arent as retarded as them.

>>713682745
It was actually pretty organic. You can see hints of it as far back as MGS4. And by the time Ground Zeros was released, you see it in full effect. He maintained his humor but his subject matter and tone got a bit darker

>>713669585
elaborate, i fucking dare you

>>713669520 (OP)
Death Stranding 2 has the same problem the first game had where its impossible to care about or feel connected to the characters because they don't exist outside of cutscenes. It also makes the game world feel utterly lifeless and sterile despite the fact that you're supposedly surrounded by fledgling civilization everywhere you go.

Why didn't Kojima add any new traversal mechanics besides the ladders and climbing rope? Like a line gun or something. Its just all the same shit

>>713669520 (OP)

>>713683075
Might help my immersion if the characters didn't have joke names.

>>713669520 (OP)
is this the first or second game

>>713683269

He is just comparing how there's so much gameplay in the original game but the new game is literally a movie slop, which should have never been the case for games like god of war

La Creatividad at least succeeds in inserting his own autistic spins on stuff instead of just really really really wanting to be [insert jew director here] like the rest of the fake auteur types. You can't deny he's pulled off his Hollywood infiltration better than NEXT GUY.

>>713669520 (OP)
I actually really like games where navigating the terrain itself is part of the challenge like in BOTW

>>713683657
Humiliation ritual game design.

>>713683205
Because all the manpower went to mocapping actress feet. Death Stranding 2 is basically DLC

>I SPENT 5 MINUTES TOTAL DOING THE TOWER UNLOCK ANIMATION IN A 50 HOUR GAME AIEEEEEE

>>713683516
It's actually crazy how badly SE fucked themselves with this being the first level of the game. Nothing else in Rebirth has any forced walking sections or cinematic slop like this and yet this is the 1 clip that everyone has seen

>>713683754
Why did they make Asgard so lame?

>>713683657
Only 1 icon appears because the player had already discovered everything else in that region

>>713683516
yeah you're definitely retarded

>>713669520 (OP)
I wish RPGs like Dragon’s Dogma or Elder Scrolls had traversal like this. It would make the journey more engaging.

>>713683923
Traversal like what? Holding the shoulder buttons to not fall down? Occasionally needing a ladder? Because that's the depth of it

>>713684002
Needing to pay attention to terrain, knowing when you can sprint and when you need to take it slow, avoiding weather and bogs, etc. Plus the weight stuff, yeah.

>>713670740
Uh oh, this one sure got Gaben cock suckers mad!

>>713683754
I won't forget the bit in this game where the ebic woman throws her sword into the floor and tells Atreus "Uh, they'll clean it up"
Just fucking awesome dude. Video games truly are like le cinema!

Unironically my favourite part of the game is the desert area.

>>713669520 (OP)
I walk in the outback IRL and it's somehow more fun IRL and more desolate than in DS2.
Does Kojima think Australia has high population density? You can travel by car on main highways out there and not bump into a soul for 50km. It's also flat. Australia is more like pic for most of it. If not, it's the same but with no trees. Eyre sums up the experience - "a place of bad dreams" when talking about travelling for 1000s of kms on foot and horseback on flat nothing. Why has it got mountains and hoodoos in this game? Only the pilbara, east coast and south west look a bit like that and even then only for small amounts of it.

I will admit though, the BTs are kinda cool. They resemble aboriginal spirits.
