Thread 715855596

So now that he's actually dead, what do we think of him? Was he a good villain?

>>715855596 (OP)
I like that in 2 he's more unhinged due to going completely insane after being trapped on the beach for what felt like thousands of years to him but I thought the whole guitar thing was dumb.

No.

>but I thought the whole guitar thing was dumb.
I agree, loved the game, the guitar thing not so much. I legit just beat it and kinda wish I didnt waste so much time building roads....

Troy Baker is an annoying asshole and a terrible actor. 8/10 times he ruins the game he's in.

Some of the coolest desgined just wasted on this character.


He just hates everything, and gives no compelling reason for it. despite all the screen time theres nothing really deep about him, at least in the first game you had a bigger threat to think about, but, here hes just allowed to annoying you and the character for no reason at all. drags the whole game down

he looks like a gay tranny

He went insane due to the time difference on the beach and real life.

couldn't care less about him. i play for the delivery, building, fucking with mules/bts, etc. gameplay same as the first game. when i replayed the dc before 2 came out i skipped all of his cutscenes

>>715855596 (OP)
He was trying too hard, he shouldn't have been the main villain. At least in the first game there is an extinction unit.

>>715855596 (OP)
Punching him in the face was very cathartic, and the guitar duel was cool, but I wish the shredding was a little more in-depth than just mashing O.
Not even like a guitar hero level of quality, just different buttons mapped to different sounds would have been cool.

>was an actually good villain stuck in a shit game with shit characters and then a shittier sequel with shittier character development?
no.

Why Kojima made like only two major bosses again? The world of DS is weird and creative but I think MGS had better villains and interesting boss fights.

the real villain of Death Stranding is whoever put this package all they way up this fucking building

Thus the sticky gun was born

Are BTs sentient?

>>715858084
No, they're effectively mindless monsters. Dollman has an optional flashback cut-scene where he talks about his origins that confirms as such.

His small daughter was severely struggling with her mother's death and petitioned Dollman to take her to the site of the voidout that killed her, thinking that her father's clairvoyance abilities would be able to get through to her and help her pass on. It didn't work and both of them were killed after the BTs attacked them. Dollman said that he could sense that nothing of his wife was left in there

Don't they have a desire for connection and it's why they pull at people and drag them down like drowning people do?
They do the evil version of hugs.

>>715858360
Why did his daughter look just like a young Locne?

BTs piss me off because they are polar opposites between gameplay and story, how could they let this trash piece of gamerdesign pass twice? It's so obvious plus they zeroed-in on the most unfun way to do it wrong. They're supposed to travel with the rain and get the drop on people, i'm not supposed to get the drop on them. Just trying to mourn the concept. It's my fault for caring.
