Could be worse.

kek based

Why didn't it sell?
It's being beaten by Suikoden on Amazon for fucks sake.

><ACT>
Is it tho??

>>715094032
The only person who thought a second death stranding was a good idea is kojima

Everyone already knew what Death Stranding was so there was no rush to buy a console and play 2 at first launch.

>>715094124
this don't know who asked for more of this slop

>>715093185 (OP)
This is edited right?

>>715093185 (OP)
the only people buying the game are kojimadrones

Kojima is Reddit the person

I just saw Debra and knew instantly I was never going to buy it.

Pekora's fault

>>715093185 (OP)
I had someone faggot tell me "YO there's like 70 million ps5s!, this is going to be THE blockbuster for ps gamers!" It has been funny watching this whole thing just come and go

>>715094124
women love it
it's a nice casual walking sim with an absolutely unhinged story they've never seen before in a "serious" AAA game
(they didn't play metal gear)

>>715093601
DS2 numbers are still worse

>>715095738
Nah I know actual women gamers in japan and they don't care for this. They're busy playing tamogotchi life.

>>715095749
Worse than 2m?

>>715093185 (OP)
I guess OD is dead for sure then

I'm an outsider to DS, please someone explain this scene to me.

It is always, ALWAYS, wise to keep an eye on the UK market. It and Japan are almost always reflective of buying trends worldwide with only a very small handful of exceptions.

Great, waiting for the PC release.

Kojima wants to watch white men tongue kiss.

>>715094032
Game didn't need a sequel. Everyone saw it as a Kojima wank to network with celebrities

>Japan

>>715093185 (OP)
I suspect it sold over a million units last month and is doing well based on the fact I'm seeing more shit for it on the internet and most of the sales are online downloads these days. Real test will be if sony shits out real numbers or not. These companies are always happy to announce a failure and obfuscate a flop

>>715096585

>reported to
>by some analytical company

I don't think it did more than a million. Sony and these companies report a million as thats high engagement. Even lesser numbers can be used in jew speak because the investors like that. Go look at assassin's creed being touted as having "high player numbers!"

>>715096879

If the number was better the publisher would have corrected it. Silence is confirmation.

>>715097160
Silence means it's not looking so good dude. bragging about "1.3 million" is nothing for games of this scale and size. They would yelling out on social media to look good to the investor noses

>>715096795
I've seen nothing. Just because you see it in your circles and search for it doesn't mean its popular. All I've seen is mario kart crap and switch 2 news. I don't care about any of this. Let alone some faggy walking sim

>>715097013
Ironically the latest Ubislop higher on the top seller list thsn Death Stranding 2 at the moment.

>>715097318
Yeah that's not good. That game didn't all that well to begin with

>>715097234
Yes, that was what I wrote.

>>715097317
It's easy to tell that you care a lot.

>>715097318
>Assassinslop has better legs than Kojimaslop
Weird times we live in.

Saaar gooood mooooorning

>>715097582
Not to use an overused term, but modern Gamers love their annual slop games

>>715097582
It makes sense when you think about it. What kind of jap would buy a PS5?

>people still post japan numbers as though it means anything when they literally don't buy anything unless it's on phones or switch

>>715095738
>women love it
your 3 favorite streamers don't count as women you stupid cattle.

>>715098446
The uk numbers had it doing less than half of the originals and less than astro bot. That's ps country

This is what you get when you make a game that nobody wants

>>715098547
I wanted it and I also brought it

>>715098538
You'd think it'd do more with all the brand loyal jeets and muslims there as well.

>>715098685
FIFA and COD box

>>715098782
Why do they even bother with exclusives at this point? It's not like their base buys the console for them. It's just a waste of money. If they could get exclusive shirts for fifa or a skin in call of duty it would print the same if not more than funding these games.

>>715093185 (OP)
I find it weird that Sony funded a sequel in the first place given that the original didn't do that well. Not that I'm complaining mind you, I like both games

>>715098908
They needed games for the PS

>>715094032
>why didn't it sell
How do we live in a world where someone familiar with Death Stranding gameplay decides to ask this question?

Hey /v/, why aren't more people into pegging or extreme assplay? It works for me.

>>715098908
Death Stranding sold well on PC. That's the only reason it got a sequel

>>715094032
I'm American, can confirm my brain was too small for it since I only play shooter games.

>>715098895
Sony should just buy the FIFA licence and make it their biggest exclusive

>>715093185 (OP)
kek

>>715099470
Who does have the license now?

>>715094032
I kinda to play it, but no chance in hell i will get a PS5 for this

>>715099175

*sigh*
I have Kojima fatigue.

>>715101165
Just look at these big player numbers!

>theme of the game is letting go
>literally makes you not want to let go after beating it
How the FUCK does he do it every single time?

>>715093185 (OP)
Unironically it was just too smart for you fags.

average sim """game""":
>bad graphics
>boring as fuck and autistic because redditors will think its quaint and cute and zen
>easy and lazy garbage made to swipe a quick buck from neets too depressed to play good normal games

death stranding 2:
>sim game that takes advantage of the slower paced gameplay by creating an addictive movement system that requires planning and in-the-moment improvising
>despite being simulator-like it can still be fantastical and create a surreal and interesting story and world on par with non-simulator games
>some of the best mocapping and acting performances in any video game ever
>waifufagging exists because hideo kojima still respects foundational gamer interests while pushing the artform into newer and experimental areas
>even includes bad parts like unfun bossfights and singular annoying quests scattered throughout to give the love/hate relationship people can't admit to loving about older video games (pic rel)
>creates the perfect experience of experimentation and retro video game stylings that people can't appreciate nowadays because gamers unironically can't enjoy things anymore

Too good for all of you. I haven't even played through the MGS games yet, played through death stranding 1 twice because its too addicting. Genuinely good art is lost on you fags, you deserve vampire survivors and other similarly mindless "i dont like video games but it gives me dopamine" mobile game-tier garbage. Get fucked.

>>715102767
tl;dr

>>715102767
Literally "emperor new clothes" the post.

>>715103235
>>715103496
average anti-intellectualism. And you wonder why you don't enjoy video games anymore.

>>715093185 (OP)
I liked it. But then again I actually play games unlike /v/.

his troonum troonpus is falling down..

>>715103595
That's not a fair post to make. I played through it and returned it because it never felt like it was doing anything right. It's gameplay felt half assed and nothing mattered besides getting from point a to b. It took directors cut for the stupid star system to at least try to address this. You're free to like the movie game, but it's no better than cuckmann slop.

most intelligent kojima hater

>>715103931
You are high on Kojima farts.

>>715093185 (OP)
I figured JP would like the game because of the vtranny shilling. What went wrong?

Now this is a pekora thread

>>715094032
Idk but it's fine because he has been talking to troons
