This little faggot almost ruins the whole game

No he doesn't, he barely speaks. Exposed, you didn't play the game.

>>713899313
His mere presence strapped to your belt ruins the whole aesthetic.

>>713899148 (OP)
I like him and his 5 fps animations

>>713899148 (OP)
>called dollman
Bravo Kojima...truly a creative dad

>>713899148 (OP)
no bs how good is the actual gameplay? did they expand on the tools used for deliveries? is the world better? does the story get in the way? am i forced to do a million retarded fps/boss fights?

>>713899557
No it doesn't.

It's improved substantially over ds1. Things are smoother and more fleshed out. Menus are easier to navigate, actions take less time, way fewer cutscenes. Most exposition dumps are put into the text files so you can read them later or ignore them. Combat is substantially improved and more viable but sneaking/going around is also viable. You can skip all the cutscenes. If you liked DS1 gameplay you'll like 2.
The plot is pointless and the acting is worse, but you can skip most of it to just play the game.

You have shit taste.

>nigger is having a hissy fit over a fucking doll that barely talks and doesn't interrupt your gaming experience at all
retard

>>713900423
>combat is more viable
doesn't the first game yell at you like a whiney bitch and cause bullshit if you try to use combat
does the second one still do that

The world is more dynamic (day/night cycle, weather effects the world by making rivers bigger, dust storms, etc). You can connect ladders to get further. You can take your entire backpack off and stash it to focus on taking out bandits (new mules) or getting up a difficult cliff to throw a rope down and get your cargo to keep going. Most of the PCC buildings have added features, like remote viewing on watchtowers or BT repelling shelters. You get substantially more equipment to start off and quickly unlock a lot more, including more weapons for humans and BTs, very early on (like, the first hour). You level up your skills more simply now and get much clearer feedback about what improves them and what they effect.

You literally start with an automatic rifle loaded with rubber bullets and a taser and are told to go shoot a bunch of people on your first mission.

>>713899313
That's just not true. While he isn't as bad as the god of war head the dude does backseat you when in combat and it's kind of annoying

>>713900423
>saying to basically ignore the plot
I really don't understand you stupid kids. This is like telling someone
>Yeah, it's completely fine to just cover your eyes the whole time in the theater.

>>713899148 (OP)
Just that? really? of all the garbage even in the first one you think thats the only issue with this ``game``?

>>713901143
almost 30 hours in and not annoying at all

>is literally a man that’s a doll
Wow

A lot of people complained about the cutscenes in DS1 because there were so many and the got in the way of playing the game. They were also very annoying to skip. I enjoyed them and am enjoying DS2, but it's a distinct improvement in 2 that you have the freedom to just skip the scenes, read a short summary of what's going on, and keep playing if you like the gameplay but not Kojima's movie directing skills.

>>713899148 (OP)
What the fuck are you smoking retard? He alone carry the fucking game.

>>713902606
I think Sam is carrying things for most of the game
get it hehe

>>713902715
it’s true tho poor Sam

>>713902606
You are an utter faggot mong kys

>>713903392
Seethe retard

>>713904786
No u

>>713899148 (OP)
he's a /v/ poster

>>713899148 (OP)
His role is very small. Literally all he does is give the player tips. He can also be used for reconnaissance, kind of like the eagle in Ass Creed.

>>713899313
>Exposed, you didn't play the game.
Yep.

>>713905351
Clearly can't read

>>713899313
>>713899148 (OP)
only saw short clips of this dude talking.
he's like one of those shitty side characters that tell you the solution to a problem if you take too much time.

>>713899557
You'll be able to toggle that off when the game actually comes out (PC release)

>>713899148 (OP)
It's a spirit medium stuck in a doll, so it's mostly Kojima's way to add a third person to the narrative considering Sam's mental state and repatriate powers, along with navigating them. It feels like a useless addition mostly due to the first game working just fine without it. In larger sense, i don't particularly like the cast getting bloated so much as the world design is once again heavily carrying the rest of the setting on it's back so the wacky and sometimes jarring characters really don't do the narrative any favours. It's funny, because both the first and second game are tonally all over the place. They want to be post-apocalyptic and moody, but mostly just skirt a fine line of never really establishing a solid tone, Death Stranding 2 having the amount of camp does it no favours either. Just pick a tone Kojima, goddamn...

>*every time you pull out a sniper rifle*
>happen to notice you don't have a suppressor...

i like him
he looks like kenny

>>713899557
Is this where I learn people thought DS1 was a serious game, and didn't have goofy shit?

I'd prefer if he didn't exist in the game but I didn't find him to be as annoying as I thought he would be.

>>713901105
Aussies, amirite?

>>713899740
It's the same shit. Other anons are shills and lying to you. The additions to not overhaul the core gameplay and are barely noticed in the first place given how easy the game is.

This is how White people view you 3rd world ESLs by the way

>>713899148 (OP)
While pretty fun, this game just make me want to replay MGS5, the gameplay was so fucking good, you just have to ignore the story.
