New Death Stranding 2 info. The game is mostly set in Australia

Didn't they mention Mexico in the trailer?

There's a lot more weapons and combat has been expanded

n many ways, Death Stranding 2 feels like Metal Gear Solid 6 - an extension of the open world design and smooth transition between stealth and combat the fifth game provided. Mexico and Australia are filled with enemy bases to infiltrate, with Sam able to sneak around for silent takedowns, or simply fire away with powerful weapons. He's given a whole load of options, from pistols and assault rifles and shotguns, to grenade launchers, a blood boomerang (we're in Australia, after all), and the return of my favourite rope-firing Bola Gun. Weapons are punchy and combat can be explosive, if a little easy.

Before all that, though, Sam can wear different camouflage types before hiding in some conveniently placed long grass (make sure your pack isn't too tall) and throw tiny puppet Dollman into the sky to scout out and tag enemies, Assassin's Creed-style. Sam may not have Big Boss's suite of gadgets and manoeuvrability, but when he's sneaking through jungles in the dark, dodging spotlights before throttling enemies from behind, it certainly feels like a middle finger to Konami.

Kojima is a Satanist

I thought this was an elaborate shitpost, but it’s not. Holy shit.

Didn’t they just say “crossing the border” which in context of Death Strandings America obsession instantly made people think Mexico.

Perhaps my favourite new feature of Death Stranding 2, though, is its music player. Available partway through, it allows players to create playlists of collected tracks and listen at any point (within the chiral network)

we're so back

now that gta 6 is delayed, theres nothing standing in the way for kojimbo to win goty

will they actually make the countries look like themselves this time or will kojjima pick a random arctic island to base them off of for reasons unknowable? kinda ruins the idea of post apocylyptic explorations if nothing at all is recognizable as what it supposedly once was.

the older he gets the worse his writing gets. if the gameplay isn't improved he's not winning shit.

mostly in Australia

Oh yeah. It's gonna be a giant fucking desert.

time of day changes resulting in temperature drops

nice

it's both

feels like a middle finger to Konami

yep, im thinking kino

i only recently played through the first one but now i'm really looking forward to 2. first one genuinely managed to get me invested in the characters.

So is anyone who's even remotely successful.

I don't really need an expanded combat system in my UPS delivery game.

im sorry but hot and brown countries really are not capable of being kino. deserts are awful and heat makes me sleepy.

Kojima needs to move on from Mad Max. It's getting to be too much.

the absolute madman

There's a new addition to the sequel that also aids the pace: the Corpus. As with the likes of Avowed and Final Fantasy 16, the Corpus is an in-game glossary that can be opened at any time to recap plot points and read about characters and places. It's not only an essential resource, it ensures Kojima's script is tight and concise, extraneous detail saved for later reading.

and i bet the story will still manage to be confusing

Can I still avoid the combat and just treat the game as a surreal eurotruck simulator?

What happened to 'don't kill people because dead bodies cause void outs'?

whaaaa I can't call it walking simulator on Anon Babble if they add more guns

maybe void outs from dead bodies aren't a thing anymore

KOJIMBLES ABOUT TO SAVE THIS GOD FORSAKEN SHITHOLE OF AN INDUSTRY ONCE AGAIN

How does he keep doing it?

Death Stranding 2 feels like Metal Gear Solid 6

OH SHIT

AssC tall grass steal

AssC eagle enemy marking

LMFAO I'd assume it was a shitpost if you didn't link sauce. How do you go from making MGS to copying AssC

No one cares, he only needs to be pretentious.

we kept saying to each other, 'Does this feel too much like Metal Gear?' It wasn't on purpose."

Yeah that Snake clone is totally accidental, pls beLIEve

who isn't these days?

fuck yeah mate. I was already keen for it but having a game set in Australia that is going out of it's way to capture Australian culture a bit, without getting weighed down by the Aus Government Arts grants requirements, shit tier Melb type writers, or general cultural cringe when Aus artists sniff too much Australian farts or try to go up against the world theater with Aus crime mumble core, sounds great. Kojima Westaboo meets Australia is genuinely a great a idea.

Post-Albo Australia

Very disrespectful

Kojima doesn't care anymore

no bipedal robots to control in a WALKING game

stealth copied from Assassins Creed

story elements copied from MGS

He finally lost it

Literally the only cool gimmick of the first game

but muh buildings

Lame

This better have Very Hard difficulty in from the start
I want to fucking fall

Goddamn it this is the first time I've been excited about anything related to Australia in international media, I didn't even know I was capable of it
I should have bought the first game when it was on sale man
Definitely buying this
Based Kojima

I should have bought the first game when it was on sale man

it'll probably go on sale a lot leading up to DS2, if you do play it just focus on getting to the 2nd map asap before anything else, then take your time doing whatever from there.

HOLY FUCK MGSV CHADS
WE MIGHT BE COMIN HOME

thirdoid behaviour

What about the rope Hojimbo? That's a whole lotta stick!

Is On the Beach a reference to the fact that it was filmed in Melbourne?
Fuck you
I'm excited about exploring a post apocalyptic Australia in a video game made by my favourite game developer
I just want to take my time delivering shit
Hopefully the controls feel as good as in MGS5

i'm gonna say it
that does not look comfy, i don't want to traverse it, there's no lonesome feeling of isolation
that was the main appeal of the first game, i don't like the setting

what I'm reading about the expanded combat and "giving players le options" proves to me even further than Kojima is too much if a pussy to double down on his vision. combat being mostly discouraged in the og was a good choice. this just sounds like he's insecure and has no vision and just responds to the whims of the players, same way he put all that overpowered shit in death stranding director's cut that essentially allowed players to skip that "pesky gameplay".
death stranding 2 should be a more hardcore delivery sim, not less.
bet shoes are still irrelevant.

tall grass

eagle marking

Yeah that's no MGS

Delta is going to absolutely mog this piece of shit in sales numbers LMFAO

Yeah the obvious way to double down on his walking game vision would've been to introduce walking robots that are even harder to walk with. That would've been cool. I don't want more combat, combat sucked in DeathS, and so did stealth

I genuinely do not give a fuck about muh MGS combat.

I will be so disappointed if this means the walking simulator aspect of the game was neutered.

WE'RE SO BACK!

Death Stranding 2 trailers have more views than that lazy ass cash grab you fucking clown

here we go

Reminder that Kojima is a card carrying Communist and that's a good thing

SkillUp: "my god, he's done it again" "the best opening sequence in a game ever" "20 hours in I had a boss fight that was the best visual experience in a game ever"

Stop doubting Kojima.

Strange, rope works just fine for most people holding those views

Fuck I wonder if those chink tourists I left stranded in the middle of nowhere were actually japs.

Ah well, same difference.

Holy shit, what a quote. Based as fuck.

openly admitting pacifism is useless

lol 2000s kojima would be embarrassed at this piece of shit old man

shillup

Access granted: good review
Access not granted: bad review

I'm Australian.
Australia doesn't look like that.
Is this like how America in Death Stranding 1 is actually Iceland?

I just want to take my time delivering shit

and that's the absolute best way to play, just get off the first map when you can too come back later, otherwise you'll burn out.

I fucking hate date palm trees so much.

fuck you made me think there was a new double deck comic

Remember this day, you were alive for the unveiling of MGS6

One preview said after 30 hours of playing the game, the story is only about 40% done. This game will be MASSIVE!

I'm Australian.

Australia doesn't look like that.

Not only does Australia look like that, I can tell you exactly where the japs went mate.

He's still mad that Americans didn't like the first game since it's not a shooter.

So why did he turn the sequel into a shooter

irl colors look more natural wtf

fuck kojima

it's not a shooter, he just gives more options for players to play how they want

Average dialogue in this game/movie:

Sam, it's FIGHTLIKEHELLDUDE, the ATs are attacking the base. You need to use the KKP to defend us

Why me?

Because the AI of BS is using you to expand the Shartium network along the coast of UCBA

UCBA? You mean United Cucks of Black America?

Yes, contact FARTMAN for more information

kojima should 'rope' himself for being such a worthless hack

Posted it again Award

retarded marketing speak, it's just a less focused piece of shit ubislop game now. "giving players more options" has never been an indication of anything good ever. a good game restricts you too.

based, brb pre ordering the ultra deluxe edition

I loved that about mgsv. Deciding to infiltrate without laying a hand on someone, or by only laying hands. Or sniping them all. Or speedrunning with an assault rifle. Or getting a tank and calling in air support and just blowing everyone up.

I like that. Glad kojima might be making the game I wanted DS1 to be. We will see. I loved the delivery shit too, I just wanted more choices.

rope?

Visuals look downgraded

This shits going to be GOTY

kojima's safe word for non-combat

this is the only GOTY 2025

He is obviously part of the judeo-masonic sect.
Like many artists they are preyed on by those judeo-masonic vultures.
They spread their visions like this, in a more or less obvious way.

same. I was gettin kinda bummed but DS2 will help
And it's been so long for GTA, what's another year.

meth smoking and child molesting minigames for the true blue experience

I just wonder when he became a Freemason. Was it after MGSV or before? The actor obsession must have been the transition.

He's just flexing

I've been hiding in the grass since MGS3, personally

Must be after he got really popular, those vultures need people of infuence.
So it was probably before MGSV, maybe it was after MGS2, we have to take the duration of his initiation into concideration too.
Miazaki is an obvious initiated too.

And today's Kojima would be embarrassed at the naivete of a young, inexperienced pacifist who grew up during the long peace

Fuck yeah, can't wait to deliver mail with a postie bike

FUCK KONAMI. Leeching off Kojima's hard work with a lazy cash grab after treating him like absolute shit eventho he made them a ton of money for 30+ years, go fuck yourself, hope the game fucking BOMBS!

Kojima is a genius, every single game pushes the medium, you sound jelly

after treating him like absolute shit

you mean after he wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on pretentious hollywood casting for multiple games?

These rumors are fake you stupid fuck.

The last of us part 2 aka the most hated video game of all time has more coherent writing and less gimmicky gameplay than even the best kojima game.

Inb4 bait

has reedus done an episode of his motorcycle show in australia? because that would be good promo.

I care about him more now than in, say, 2008

all this money spent on textures for muh giga mega hyper scans from quixel

K,b,c.

Then eat dick and play Call of Duty, zoombo

Holy based Punished Kojima

I did, MGSV was pure kino, still play it regularly to this day.

I hope the melee animations look better.
They looked clean as fuck in MGSV and then in DS1 he does some literal looney-tunes tier animation with a rope.

remember in MGS4 when you could RNC to sleep and then just keep choking them until they died. kino

Funny you say that cause he made DS2 for cowadoody audience

fucking hate how satanic miyazaki got

Should have updated the FOX Engine for it

Mgsv: Skips of the the cutscenes

I skip cutscenes in all games

kek, Kojima's attention to detail is truly unmatched

I was not expecting this. I like it and will be using it.

Holy..... FUCK!!!

Okay, Call of Duty zoomer

Not a single word about Israel but Trump is mentioned.

At first when DS2 has no PC release sure.

He isn't the only one saying this, faggot.

Like the first game, it can be meditative in the quiet moments as you traverse the environment. But when the game wants to get loud, it does not hold back. One chapter--titled “Conflagration”--is one of the most visually stunning sequences I’ve ever seen in a game. Even running on a base PS5, it’s a spectacle that culminates in a boss encounter that rivals the best of Metal Gear Solid. Mechanically, it’s essentially a shootout with a boss and multiple soldiers, but tonally and visually, it’s Kojima firing on all cylinders and it’s truly jaw-dropping.

israel is never mentioned, or criticized. they are too afraid to do it

He's a mason, no shit it won't be mentioned.

On paper Kojima shouldn't give a fuck but then I remembered that he likes to cross paths with the Western film industry and it kind of makes sense in a way.

I'm whore, but not that much of a whore

Do I need to remind you it's literally illegal to do so?

Do I need to remind you it's literally illegal to do so?

That's my point.
In order to know who rules over you, simply find out who you aren't allowed to criticize.
It's not even social pressure or propaganda, they literally have made laws to forbid you to do so.

he is a shitcunt and a bogan

I remember the tanegashima but that pic isn’t ringing a bell. Would love to have mgs4 on pc for a replay. I was so addicted to the multiplayer that I only beat campaign a couple times

what is anti-semitism

On The Beach is a 50s movie about some people living in Australia after the north hemisphere got nuked, and they're just waiting for the fallout to reach them. What does this tweet mean when it says that On The Beach could be ds mgs2 moment?

Not a single word about [Tiny country in a middle of nowhere with no population] but [President of the most powerful nation in the world] is mentioned.

What the FUCK????

Post expected Australian character names

Crocodile Dindu, always asks you for a smoke.

>Trueblueman

>a man trapped in a state of all blue all the time

Please don't give Kojima ideas

Does he not want americans or russians to buy his DS2? I don't understand people pushing any real world politics into their promoting of video games, how hard is to to keep your mouth shut as not to offend or put off masses of your potential consumer base?

Will this be better than MGS 2?

There are people on twitch openly shitting on Israel on a daily basis. Criticizing Israel isn't anti-Semitism.

less gimmicky

so ubislop is the peak of gameplay then considering you seem to think that's a good thing?

If you're going to mention conflicts and problems just go all the fucking way.

that's the Aus government grant shit anon, and as far as we're aware there's been no Aus Gov money put into DS2 so it if any abo magic is included it's because Kojima thought it was cool

I remember the tanegashima

My nigga. The solar gun I believe you unlock by beating all the B&B bosses non lethally which is piss easy to do with the Mosin Nagant.

Pick up a used PS3, I just got one for $80 last summer. You can hack it and get MGS4, Ridge Racer 7, Outrun Online Arcade, a whole bunch of pressure sensitive PS2 games... It's useful to have.

PC release?

it's just commentary on australia's alcoholism

Did kojima-san save gaming again?

Never ever. Just like the first game.

I have Platinum for DS Director's Cut and can't wait to play DS2

What is wrong with genociding jews?

Madman

Kojima doesn't speak a word of English, when he mentions Trump here you know it means "controversies" as despite Kojima creating political games he never outright chooses a side in any argument or debate. There are two sides to the war with Russia and Ukraine - those that think Russia had no choice and those that think Russia should be wiped off the planet, there are two sides to Trump being president - Those that voted for him and those that want him dead, there's two sides to other wars currently going on such as with Israel - People who think Israel had the right to defend themselves and those who think Israel have gone too far

Whoever quoted him for this video likely did this on purpose, Kojima's not the type of person to alienate players over politics. Even in past interviews about politics in his other games he's very careful about what he says and how he says it

He probably did mention Israel but the person who put the caption in didn't want to

Should I make webms of gameplay snippets that were released along the previews?

Hugh Jackmanman

yes

the moment someone postw a screenshot of Sam hiding in a cardboard box this place is gonna blow up

I need Sam experiencing culture shock in a Wake in Fright-esque bush town.

just end up back in Yabba

The solar gun I believe you unlock by beating all the B&B bosses non lethally which is piss easy to do with the Mosin Nagant.

ahh okay noted.
I actually still have my fat ps3, somehow lost my two copies of MGS4.
I'll break down and buy it again probably after playing Delta.

Ridge Racer 7, Outrun Online Arcade,

Good call, there are a ton of soulful games I probably missed out on with PS3.

I got chills at the animation of her nose crimping when they brushed noses lol.
Genuinely grinned.

I hope you enjoy anon. Always good to meet a fellow MGS4 OG on here.

The map is going to be more empty and devoid than usual since there is nothing in that shit hole besides coastal cities.

Pacing is much snappier with cut down exposition, it has instead been replaced with the Corpus, an optional in-game glossary that gets you up to speed on things in the game world. This ensures that the plot is tight and concise

Based Kojima actually taking legit feedback.

Aussie shitposting going to run over Anon Babble on release day

I'd love to join in but I also don't want to spoil the game before the PC release.

Good to hear.

Anyone think I should replay to brush upon the story, or just rewatch all the cutscenes?
I really wish someone made a website that thoroughly summarizes a game and the themes. I tried to ask Chatgpt to do that one time for Yakuza 0 and it just made a ton of bullshit up

I hated a lot of the story but I do want to remember some context for the sequel

from memory you're (legally?) supposed to get permission from an Aboriginal elder to have Australian boomerangs in your game.
I'm trying to imagine Kojima in a room with a translator and a fat naked Aborigine trying to explain the plot of Death Stranding.

Can't wait to balance while kicking away snakes and stomping on spiders.

Is this really what Australia is like?

sam gets to play one and lou gives you likes for it, i bet

Now I just remember how the first game took place in America and yet looked fucking identical to Iceland.
Their in-universe reasons for the terraform changes to America still doesn't suspend my disbelief far enough to make me buy that America somehow ended up like fucking Iceland. They're too different.

Improved combat

Improved stealth

More cool gadgets

More cool dynamic systems

Better enviromental variety

Less verbose cutscenes and more just focus on fucking with systems in the game world

Sounds like basically everything I'd want from the sequel.

is it true that deadman isn't in this one? that'd be a shame, he was my favourite in the first one.

He's definitely in as he's been seen in the pre-order trailer and also says some lines in the State of Play trailer but probably not too much I would guess.

He did it. He added the thing every single person wanted.

SAM YOU GOT A CIGGY BUTT BRAIN

too bad that the artist he collabed on for this one is horrible

CUZ U ALWAYS POCKET ME FOCKING LOIGHTAR YEW, YEW FUCKWIT

Yeah, I was seriously disappointed when I started the first game, ambient music played and... It turned out you couldn't listen to the same music when doing missions. Even side ones. It's either scripted or at base. What the fuck were they thinking with that?

New to the Yabba?

hire this man

this upset because the e33 astroturf is already wearing off and you have 6 months till the game awards

You'll never win, chang

I wish this game had a better fucking story

Wtf it is actually real... Does he want to assassinate Drumpf and Putler or what?? BlueAnon tier ZOG brainworms.

For how aggressively mediocre the Horizon games are, I'm glad they exist because the engine gets to be used for actual kino while the rest of the world drowns in unreal

They said pacing in this game is way better than in the first game

Looks like some generic ubislop game

I mean, its not about 2
but death stranding story & world felt like a big nothing burger
never felt engaged, alas the exlent actors

supposed to get permission from an Aboriginal elder to have Australian boomerangs in your game.

How about you let me put it in my game or I poison your water supply?

so far they have nothing but praise for the story, I honestly haven't heard anyone say anything bad about it after 30 hours

So a running theme I've seen from the previews is that the game seems more gameplay focused this time around. There's much more focus on dynamic systems with lots of comparisons to MGSV and Breath of the Wild. Eurogamer said its much less exposition heavy and you're basically playing the proper game in just 20 minutes (shockingly brief for a Kojima game). Similar to MGSV you also have access to the music player in the open world now, which also means less focus on scripted music and the player is just allowed to fuck around more and do what they want.

As somebody who was a fan of DS's gameplay but whatever on its story this is good news for me. But I could see this means people who played DS1 for the story are going to be disappointed

i bought the first game and will buy the second you silly bitch. doesn't mean i have to love the writing. godamn you've gotta stop dickriding.

DS1 had 7 months on PS4, hoping it's even less now

I don't give a flying fuck about "pacing"

DS1 had cool Iceland scenery and I still felt betrayed by Kojimbo. I am unbelievably disappointed.

Center Link City

Don't care. Wake me up when its on pc

Pacing is just a crutch for adhd zoomers with no attention span

Its basically this vs expedtion 33 for GOTY, and ds2 is snoy exclusivd so 90% of gamers won't even play it

What the fuck were they thinking with that?

mishmash of two horrible games, no thanks. the only way ds2 could work is if it was something entirely new, but we know kojima is not capable of that. he just needs any old vessel through which he leech d-list hollywood stars so he can feel more important.

I see chink shills that can't shut up about it

trump is that, he let her daughter get fucked by a kike literally and suck netanyahu's dick everyday

MGSV is ultra kino though

does not suck up to retarded zoomers and their straight out of school political FOTM shit

Not sure if it's smart as far as selling games goes but it sure is respectable.

mutt malding because his country cannot make a single good game

If it'd set in Australia will we be able to encounter the traditional wildlife such as massive sky spiders?

Even Anon Babble is overwhelming positive about the game. Must be tough thinking 90% of the posts online are all chinese bots, why do you even engage in conversations if you think its all fake?

it's boring repetitive game you can steamroll through with the million of attack and infiltration options. hell you can call in air support and just bomb the fuck out of the entire game world. you even get fucking stealth camouflage. all so you can keep doing the same shit, infiltrating an outpost. it's super dull, formulaic trash.

Shalom

Don't kid yourself, there hasn't been a more obvious astroturf on this board in ages

the only way ds2 could work is if it was something entirely new

what the fuck are you talking about, in that case it would not have been ds. A sequel is meant to keep key aspects of the predecessor

expedition 33 shills have to post in these threads too

combat is easy again

Why do they keep doing this

NONONONO DON'T LET Anon Babble SEE THIS

in that case it would not have been ds

sounds like you're getting there, slowly but steadily anon.
now maybe go back and read all impressions of the first game, everyone pretended to like it but said there shouldn't be a sequel. it's boring, and no one needs to play a delivery-sim again no matter how many of mgsv's boring elements you tack on.

play on very hard

people need to accept the writing will never improve, it will get significantly, exponentially worse with every game after MGS3. Its fine because Kojima is endearing and makes 10/10 gameplay systems, but never expect it again

You could go read instead all the people that given a second chance liked it. Also funny to see you in DS2 thread if you think it this way about the game. Go play Expedition 33 or something and have fun

get to australia

the strands are upside-down

10/10 gameplay systems

MGSV is kino though

he's not wrong, Kojima is unironically a better game designer than storyteller.

Shinzo Abe was just the beginning, punished Kojima is about to go nuclear.

you're gonna pretend like the MGSV roll wasn't fucking amazing? you literally proved my point. Biggest problem with DS mechanics is you can auto-optimize your exoskeleton which destroys half the allure imo

Looks like shit

Sorry meant to post this in one of the 70 Clair obscur threads

The fact that actual news sites fell for a Anon Babble shitpost really shows what a fucking joke traditional media is

Youre a clueless brown. DS2 will be goat 2.

I think we have a disagreement about what 10/10 means
enemies having a line of sight of 20 meters and you effectively turning invisible by simply laying down is not that well thought out of a system

yeah if you consider eating shit delicious

It's happened quite a few time. I'm sure there's a compilation list somewhere

the spooky enemies are still less scary than the local fauna

If you made human beings in videos games as perceptive as human beings in real life it would be literally impossible to sneak around unless the game was set in an orphanage full for deaf, dumb, and blind kids.

mod it retard, the MECHANIC is 10/10. The game being easy as shit doesnt detract from the mechanics being amazing, dumb faggot.

Reminder, only Americans hated the first game

PlayStation Plus is not required to access the asynchronous multiplayer elements of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.

kojima is based as fuck just for getting sony to allow the multiplayer elements for free. even games like elden ring still require you to pay up to see the messages.

Kojimbo went from “you dishonorabre americans onry your shitty car of duty” to “this game has more guns lmao”

I mean, as long as the delivery part of the game is kept untouched, I genuinely don’t care. Still kinda excited for this

Jesus christ assets from africa mgsv what q hack

Still no PC release info

Its over

You have to have the correct mindset. This game is unlike any game before it. And there will never be one after. It’s the most techniclogically impressive game to ever be created. The writers literally have been communicating with the world parallel to this one to produce one of mankind’s greatest video games. They sacrificed human babies at an alter while dosed on acid and magic mushrooms, and had their hands possessed to draw pictures tirelessly for weeks without sleeping. The knowledge that will be passed onto zoomers who play this game will completely shatter our perceptions of what’s possible in this world. It’s more like a manual on how to evolve the human genome beyond its current limitation.

Game releases in June but only on PS5

Guess i'll play Stellar Blade that month instead

Satan does not exist, neither does Jesus, or any of these "deities"

It’s the most techniclogically impressive game to ever be created

citation needed : just because kojima couldn't do it doesn't mean it cannot be done
it's not even simply about perception : alerts and general enemy behavior is also extremely limited
the sound alert system is barebones, the lightning system is barebones, bases are basically corridors and cameras, with no added functionality like electrical/water systems, you can't start fires and bla bla bla
you guys should really start to think big
that's not how it works
if it becomes impossible and you're not given a way to deal with the environment the design is simply ass

Half the enemies are not human and there are non-lethal versions of guns like the first game

This is why I hate previews.

Gaming used to be much more fun when you had absolutely no idea what you were getting in to.

Wants:

improved combat

seems to be a thing

bigger map

duh

more decision making when traveling

seems to be a thing

more interesting structures

seems to be

less menu fuckery

seems to be, but no footage of how you manage your backpack. I know you can take it off now with the click of a button

Didn't the ending of the first game literally suggested that the Death Stranding wasn't a thing anymore since the rain didn't age you anymore?
Guess they had to backtrack otherwise this game wouldn't be a thing

kek good one

MGSV has good aspects but some things do not make sense.

Enemies DO have mad eyesight, but only during the day.

At night, they can't see much. So it asks the question - why would I NOT infiltrate during night?

Bad game design as its not an interesting decision I have to make

No, most people didn't understand the ending. Death Stranding can't be ended, just delayed. That's literally the main conflict of the game and why the antagonists want to just go ahead with it.

on the beach

even set in Australia

this is going to have a doomer ending innit?
