What happened?

>>715738606 (OP)
Released too close to Bananza.

it will be constantly spammed in threads in the near future like spedition 33 is

>>715738606 (OP)
The first one sold a lot on the back of MGSV and massive streamer promotion. OTB needed people to like DS1 to sell well and people didn't.

>zero culture impact
It's sold 1.4 million already, was the number one selling game in the UK, knocking off Mario kart world and this faggot thinks it had, and has no impact. Let's not forget that it'll still win GOTY, thanks to Jeff.
I'm also still playing it after a hundred hours, still finding new shit I haven't done. It's okay to admit that you don't own a PS5 and that you've never played it.

>>715738606 (OP)
i have kojima fatigue

>>715738606 (OP)
Thats every game now. The only ones released in the past 10 years with any cultural impact are the ones people remember for being shit like Cyberpunk 2077 and Last of Us 2.

>>715738606 (OP)
Because its the fucking same game as last one. Its shit. Kojima is a hack

>>715739326
Faggot, it's entirely different, more action based with more variety and mechanics as well as so many different gadgets that change how the physics puzzles of transporting stuff.

>>715738606 (OP)
The less it's talked about; the better the game is. Unironically. People only like to piss and moan about things now, nobody likes to discuss the things they like anymore.

>>715738606 (OP)
people buy consoles to play sports games, not weird experimental shit

>>715738606 (OP)
Cultural impact comes from Instagram and TikTok, not 4chan, and both of those sites are flooded with the game’s picture taking scene of the cute girls with people joking about Kojima scanning their feet.

>>715738606 (OP)
95% of single player games don't have any cultural impact whatsoever. elden ring is probably the only exception this entire decade so far

>>715738606 (OP)
Nobody gives a fuck about Kojima when E33 came out 2 months prior with the greatest gaming story of the 21st century

>>715739096
>estimated sales
>knocking off Mario Kart
Holy cope lmao

>>715738606 (OP)
It was just more of the same, not much to talk about

>>715738606 (OP)
Death Stranding 1 clearly had something to say about making connections and the beauty of life itself.
Death Stranding 2 doesn't have a lot to say and as such all of Kojima's whacky Kojimisms fall flat

>>715738606 (OP)
The first game sold because people thought it was more Metal Gear, the second didn't because people knew it was actually about walking around delivering cum.

>>715742434
The first sold because of covid.

>>715738606 (OP)
It turns out vtranny-slurpers have no money.

Not happening.

>>715738606 (OP)
exclusive slop
dumbest shit ever
it'll get hype 2.0 when it releases on a real platform [steam]

>>715739691
You are wrong

>zero cultural impact
I play games for me, I dont give a shit how many people scream about the game on TikTok your gay metric is worthless.

>>715738606 (OP)
Impactful scenes.

>>715738606 (OP)
there's a pretty sizable thread about building fucking roads. People like it

>>715743105
>song is good in first game because it's used sparingly
>literally everytime the game wants you to feel something this same fucking song plays, complete with a character singing it
DS2 feels so emotionally cheap

>>715738606 (OP)
Too much b-list celebrity worship.
Not enough interesting game.

>First game had years of hype with trailers, solving the mystery of what DS is, the weirdness, the celebs, all the Kojima hype that "he's free!" etc.
>Game comes out and is immediately divisive
>Lots of people skip it because they see it as a goofy, weird, up its own ass walking sim
>Lots of people buy it because they're Kojima and/or MG fans
>Some that bought it don't like, most probably did
>Game was a unique experience with a solid and contained story with things to say
>Sequel gets made but all the magic and hype train isn't going to be repeated
>Sequel refines the formula but at the cost of some areas
>DS2 does well but won't be as big of a deal, at least in discussions

>>715738606 (OP)
nobody owns ps5

>>715743207
Emotionally cheap?

But it beats guitar hero

I can’t even talk shit about this game. It’s just boring and nothing

>>715743467
You want zesty? You'll get zesty.

this scene is unironic kino thoughbeit

>>715743676
>>715743570
The hell is happening here? I've been playing the original and so far it doesn't get as wacky as this, the tone is like 95% straight. Does the first game get stupid or is it just the sequel?

>>715743789
>bara porn is actually kino
Ok Hideo

>>715738606 (OP)
>ADD retard thinks cultural impact has to manifest 16 minutes after release
OP is a fucking idiot.

>>715743860
DS1 gets stupid but only to Metal Gear levels. There are a few wacky stuff and some cringe lines here and there especially near the end. DS2 looks like self parody but Kojima unfortunately made it 100% in earnest.

wtf is this tripe. what's the context?

>>715744282

Kojima got so high off of his own farts that he overdosed.

>>715743105
severance got weird huh?
