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
video preview
youtu.be
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
drone gets hyped because his shithole gets mentioned
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
BASED
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.
HOLY FUCK, HE DID IT!
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
ok now I'm interested
watch malcom douglas documentaries and bushtucker man to prep
youtube.com

I'm Australian.
Australia doesn't look like that.

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
bush mechanics too if you want more abo kino
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
I’m fine with either or
DS2
MGS Delta
Doom
Feels good mang
You're right. Sucks GTA6 was moved to next year, but 2025 has quite a few gems for us to play.
Will Sam say sick cunt down there in straya?
he'll meet a few bogans
Set in Australia
Need to sit through a 30 minute Welcome to Country before you can deliver it
And it's completely unskippable, you dirty chud
goty inbound
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
I don't care about 2025 Kojima. I only like SNATCHER/Policenauts Kojima.
Ehh the rock should have more colours desu so I kinda agree.
year of our lord 2025
people still care about kojambo
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
grass is still just 2d sprites and randomly placed with no thought, revealing the shitty ps3 era ground textures
What's the point? Why can't japanese people into good visuals?
defending tlou goyslop
I hate Kojima as much as the next guy but bring it the fuck back anon.
NEXT GUY
Yeah m8 can't wait for magic abbos and their ancient wisdom being glorified, that certainly never gets old
unskippable 3 year tutorial that's just waiting for your open license, motorcycle license, white card and MR card before you can even begin playing
any liquor deliveries that aren't bottom shelf Dan Murphy's goon net you like 3 likes because govtax

hologram of some wanker pops up to accept
"I would like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we meet today, the whogivesafuckka of the nowherebilba, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present, as well as to emerging leaders. I extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today. Thanks for the delivery, Sam!"
skip button disabled
The most hated dev aka "cuckmann" 'could render grass properly why can't kojima? Such a hack
holy based
Yeah I'm not falling Kojimbo slop ever again. I learned my lesson with MGSV
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
remember in MGS4 when you could RNC to sleep and then just keep choking them until they died. kino
based that someone else remembers this
mgs4 cqc was godly
Perhaps australians don't count as people?
I skip cutscenes in all games
kek, Kojima's attention to detail is truly unmatched
a blood boomerang
I was not expecting this. I like it and will be using it.
IESLB: Learns of the the English
nigga even ub*soft perfected grass 7 years ago there is NO excuse anymore
He literally made Death Stranding sequel easier and with more combat, retard.
He cucked out.
the shilling is genuinely pathetic, you bootlickers
Looks like metal gear solid 5
outback postie simulator
Absolute kino
hell yeah dude
with more combat
Good, hope there's combat vehicles and mechas.
tell me you remember the tanegashima whirlwinds
or SUNLIIIIIIIIIIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
Yeah, we're so back.
Looks like best game ever
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
Wait, DS2 has no PC release? AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
Delta is mogging this trash
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
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?
brown sky
not australia then
Post expected Australian character names
Trueblueman
a man trapped in a state of all blue all the time
illegal
Where? Why?
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.
Shitcunt Bogan
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?
LickerMan
it's just commentary on australia's alcoholism
Are we back boys?
Did kojima-san save gaming again?
Never ever. Just like the first game.
Center Linkman
Manges the center most base's logistics
He knows the game bruh. The dude's too deep in Hollywood now. No way he's gonna mention Israel.
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
yes do it, use webmGenerator from dFaker
github.com
it integrates yt-dlp directly too
I need Sam experiencing culture shock in a Wake in Fright-esque bush town.
try to deliver out of Yabba
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.
youtube.com
Here's 2 minutes of gameplay footage
TEN MINUTES OF GAMEPLAY, not 2
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
I skipped the first one but will buy this because it's set in my country
I hate indians with every fibre of my being and cannot wait for the day of the flush, fuck india I hope pakistan fucking nukes india tomorrow
Yakuza 0 and it just made a ton of bullshit up
I've found if you point out what parts it got wrong it can usually correct to the actual version. And apparently DS2 is shipping with a recap.
Spank you very much
kojima added abos
vehicle controls seem a lot better
Nighttime lighting looks great. Thank fuck this isn't UE5 slop.
brother just wants a hug
tfw I only realised I could choose to play the music I wanted in MSGV after I finished the game
I didn't care about the combat, I just wanted more variety in my cross country hiking through the BTs
finished
MGSV
Pick one and only one.
that river flooding at 2:35
Game better have some didgeridoo music in it
a blood boomerang
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
Can't wait to punch a kangaroo in the face with my new power gloves a previewer mentioned we can unlock in a side quest
I hope you mean ride a roo to speed up deliveries.
yeah on tuesdays
try me, bitch
cargo trains seem like a good alternative to zip-lines
Melbourne weather in 8 hours
forest fires
sandstorm
river flooding
Hell yeah more environmental delivery difficulties.
The game is mostly set in Australia
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.
Mad Max

Finally ESL spics will understand the wonder that is Kojima names.

So weapons are now divided into

The gameplay video posted earlier shows him running around Mexico.

I am so sorry but I chose both
GOTY locked in
Hideo Kojima Presents: Welcome to Woop Woop
Baguettes in shambles.
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.
He is too busy writing Winds of Winter
You can clearly see Australia in one of their earlier trailers.
There's gum trees and all - Kojima has the environments down.

Death Stranding be like
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
timed exclusive
well have fun guys
I'm disappointed there still arent any npcs and you cant enter deepet into delivery centers or any part of the cities. I know its intentional but I hated how empty and lifeless death stranding felt
based
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"
His writing would definitely benefit from having a tard wrangler
His writing would definitely benefit from being turned into easily digestible shit like a TV show
What's so interesting about an Emu colony?
then kys
DS1 walked so DS2 could run
Porter rank: Silent Handler
Kek
Yeah niggaz, we back
What are the multiplayer features like this time around? It's actually the only thing I care about.
I don't give a shit about the biggest problem with DS1's story
Retard
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
expedtion 33
Kek
What the fuck were they thinking with that?
It was so comforting taking the packages to a place and hearing the music off in the distance knowing there was someone's structure up ahead
I dont make the rules, you see everyone gushing about it.
death stranding 2
it's like death stranding 1 but looks better and some mgsv capture the enemy outpost slop
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
Co G Muah
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?
youtube.com
30 MINUTES OF GAMEPLAY
You can just hit down on the d pad now to drop an empty gun. That one decision by itself radically improves the flow of the gunplay
It's literally DS1 + MGSV
Holy shit is this the best game of all time?
aussie locale
They added a hematic boomerang
Holy kek
According to the Famitsu article, you can learn techniques from a certain karate master, and once you master them, you can use them at any time.
Fucking WHAT?? :o
Damn this area looks cool
The car seats are without a roof so you can shoot a gun from them. Since Sam can just have a hoodie on timefall is no problem.
performance mode
confirmed 60fps
looks like a border in Mexico
the sunglasses and hat make him look like such a boomer. like he's about to mow some grass on that thing.
OH SHIIIIT
NPCs in cities
Thank fuck
That being said, it’s worth mentioning that the environments aren’t meant to be one-to-one realistic in their recreation of Australia. For one, upon landing in Australia, a giant polar-capped mountain in the middle of Western Australia is blocking you from progressing across the country too early. The team earnestly apologised for this humorously when talking about their take on the country. But there are so many little moments in Death Stranding 2 where the sense of place really takes hold. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’d be running across a dry red desert and stop to see a little echidna or bilby shuffle across my screen. It’s not just those little moments either; you’ll even save a kangaroo from a bushfire, too.
This sounds fucking great why is Anon Babble pissing and moaning about this game?
I played the original game, never beat it, but I ordered a Piss Ass 5 Pro and I'm going to beat it before the second one is out.
He knows there is no penalty for naming trump but there is for naming the jew.
echidna
wtf I have never seen these things... yeah GOTY confirmed
Although you should, don't burn yourself out before DS2 rolls around.

This slop doesn't deserve to share a year with Clair Obscur

G-G-GOTYYYYYY
you don't hate MSM enough
he's in, great to hear there will be some wildlife in this one
its nice to see actual more detailed abandoned structures, to think the only kind of cityscapes we ever got was at the beginning and the end
Diamond Kangaroo
Is this Tekken
I hope the Aussie natives are real cunts. I wanna hear some authentic Aussie banter from them, fuck let me make a delivery to this guy:
youtube.com
can jump to the ground
Finally
So the lore explanation for America looking like Iceland was timefall shenanigans, so why isn't that the case in the new game?
You know, it's incredible that this game doesn't have even 5% of the groundbreaking, extremely fun and liberating gameplay mechanics as BOTW/TOTK, yet gets to get away with having none of what those games were criticized for: lack of dungeons dungeons - enclosed spaces with more complexity and depth and an empty open world. Hard to see what's fun or interesting about this game.
Skill up said they did a great job with this, turns out the english translator for the game is a real australian lol so they added some stuff which normally only australian say
Wdym?
yeah go figure, people that want games from the metal gear solid guy don't care if his game plays like classic zelda.
I don't get burn out. I 100% all of the Slopkuza games back to back.
Timefall turns to normal water as soon as it touches any surface. It makes sense for the ecosystem in this game to be thriving since everything is upside down.
Beyond that, the most striking thing to me is how much of the unique vernacular that we use in Australia is incorporated into Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. It’s especially obvious that somebody working on the localisation team is Australian. The portrayal of Australians in Death Stranding 2 feels anything but stereotypical, with many of them prefixing their nouns with “bloody” and one of them even mentioning they’ve got “buckleys” when it comes to assessing chance. It feels beyond surreal to hear Troy Baker, in his reappearance as the scene-chewing Higgs, proclaim that Sam is going “walkabout” during a pivotal scene. But it feels especially surreal to hear many of the other preppers you encounter talk to you in a way that you’d talk to your mates.
Holy fuck, I wasn't expecting that level of Aussie kino. Now I'm even more excited, if I hear them dropping cunts all the time, I'll consider the game a 10/10.
In the first game to dodge large attacks all you could do was run and jump normally, jumping to the ground then rapidly getting up like in metal gear feels much better better.
enclosed spaces within an open world and content in that open world instead of vast emptiness...isn't a Zelda exclusive thing, it's a fun game thing. Retard. It's like saying because Zelda has destructible weapons other games can't have it. Smooth brain.
where is joosten at?
Kek
Ah I see what you mean, yeah that was awesome in MGSV, glad it's back in DS2.
The Dingo ate the BB
You just know these assholes are gonna throw that in the game at least once
what happened to save America, save humanity?
Dude they already talk about getting new equipment in side quests like power gloves to punch people in the face with, imagine if you can get a literal arsenal of stuff like in MGSV to deal with shit? X33 huh??? DS2 = GOTY MOTHERFUCKERS
Kek of course he just made the sequel into Mad Max
Die Hardman leaves the presidency within 14 months
I guess having no variation in gameplay and and a dead open world are all super intentional genius features like selling you an incomplete game or having your mc barely speaks because you can't afford to pay him.
Yeah I get the same feeling, but this is a sequel so it's limited to only the people who played DS1, sounds like bad decisions all over the place.
Get back to streaming drk
That stopped being a thing when we learned it was all just to nuke the planet
Why do people like this boring tedious shit. I felt the same about MGSV. It was boring as fuck compared to MGS1, 2 and 3.
Making combat better is not a bad decision. You either remove it entirely, which is retarded or improve it. You can still choose not to engage in it most of the time. Only this time it will be more fun if you do and especially when you are forced to.
I would be interested but I'm not doing the homework of playing the boring slop of DS for 50 hours man.
Will we be able to delivery to the Prime Minister?
Not really, after amelie merged the beaches we see that they set up Evangelion style servers to support the chiral network
delivery sims are cathartic, look at how euro truck simulator 2 still has a huge base. you're not autistic or german enough to appreciate this level of kino, go play some more normalfag friendly games.
Why did people like the first game? It was full of cringe dialogue and forced insertion of Hollywood celebs and the gameplay was insanely boring. Nothing about the game was good.
Retard.
Plenty of people don't need constant dopamine hits from a linear game to keep interested in things
Oi, welcome to 'straya ya cunt
MGSV was also boring and tedious. All this open world walking around bullshit is so boring compared to linear action stealth games like MGS1, 2 and 3 where you are constantly moving forward and doing things every second.
cringe dialogue
Sincere dialogue *
forced insertion of Hollywood celebs
Full of original characters played by actors *
gameplay was insanely boring
Gameplay was insanely riveting *
Nothing about the game was good
Everything about the game was amazing *
FTFY
wasn't aware that was a delivery sim. you're not supposed to actually deliver yourself with the cardboard box.
Expedition 33 has your name on it, it's the exact kind of extremely easy to digest tabloid game you're looking for
get your dopamine level checked, this isn't normal
Love having australia as a setting, I wonder what australians besides George Miller will appear if any.
I have extremely mixed feelings on whatever local media here picks up the story during a newscast, imaging shit like The Project trying to talk about Death Stranding would be awful but could ride a cringe kino line. That said, if they run with the story the first joke will be "oh wow a game about walking, why not go for a walk ya fucking nerds"/
Based porter bro
yes and I liked that game.
mgs1, 2 and 3 are a million times better than any other shit kojima has worked on
I agree, times when you could get a complete experience in 12 hours, then the game was highly replayable. Now you get a boring shit for 50 hours, and gameplay designed to watch tik toks while playing it.
All for profit. I think that's why DS2 will give us a closer look on the companies and corporations around. They're not doing any of this for survival anymore, but merely to exploit the beach to further the interests of mankind. Which isn't bad, but the bad guys will do bad things with that i expect.
It's a way to cheap out and being creatively bankrupt. Your gameplay doesn't have to be deep and developers don't have to care about how story affects gameplay, now they can just hide behind the le open world excuse. I don't want MGS1/2/3/4 again, and I don't think anyone else does, they were too simple, and what devs are scared of is trying enhance those traditional games so they just lazily settle for the open world paradigm where everything looks bigger but there's no actual substance. All games today are just the same game with a different skin. The great open world con. The same can be said about the shift to "realism".
a complete experience in 12 hours
The problem is, a lot of us aren't retarded and we want a lot more from a game than that
liking open world tedium likely means you are retarded and don't value your time.
12 hours of watching on rails cutscenes
I said that as an insult, which is funnybecsue not only did you not pick up on that but you fit the bill of the no thoughts head empty zoomer perfectly
im 35. my favourite games are MGS1, Zelda OOT and Resident Evil 4.
Replaying content you've already done is boring. That's literally the issue with the 100 hour games, they make you do the same content over and over again, That doesn't change when you're replaying a 12 hour game. Sometimes it feels like you guys just parrot shit you've heard and aren't capable of critical thinking.
and gameplay designed to watch tik toks while playing it.
zoomer alert, uninstall tiktok and you will become a better person with more respect to different games and you won't need gunshots and explosions every few minutes, your brain is fried, you're supposed to look at the scenery and absorb the atmosphere and not watch one clickbait 8 sec. garbage video after another, I can tell you're still young, wake up before it's too late
Sorry, lil bro
Then you're a millennial that degraded into a tiktok kid. The specifics aren't important
Linear games will always be better than open world games. Open world games only add pointless tedium. Linear games are more efficient as yuzu can blast through the game as fast as possible consuming all of the entertainment value before moving on to something else.
If you say it another thousand times maybe it'll eventually be true
linear games are so shitty that the only redeeming quality is CONSOOMING them as fast as possible so you can CONSOOM more
I thought they specifically left that out to make the wilderness more lonely and make the occasions the music does kick in impactful.
kojima's wife is playing E33 it's over bros
And now you understand why I despise expedition 33 fans
Lil bro, you're retarded. So, what? You play MGS1, 2, and 3 one time each and call it a day? If you like autistically collecting shit like a Ubisoft game, you can play MGS2 on each difficulty and grab all Dog Tags. Otherwise, generally speaking, all pre-PW MG games are infinitely replayable.
E33 might win
Seconding this, where is it illegal?
This should not be a surprise to literally anyone that Kojima would not like Trump.
where did these falseflaggers come from? do you hate [other game] that much?
I hope that they found a good way to make the combat feel less clunky than the first game. Maybe I'm just not used to playing shooters on controller, but I felt like the actual deliveries felt better on controller so I played the game on that.
Koji loves George Miller so much he actually made Drongo Stranding
THREAD THEME CUNTS: youtu.be
they did, combat is vastly improved
Fuck off yank we're full
dogtags
Don't get me started on that shit lmao
Replayability in MGS tends to only last about that long. The only real exception is mgs4 and mostly because of the sheer amount of crap that's the least bit meaningful you can unlock from completing runs of the game. Still not at all comparable to having a game with real meat on it
GOTY CONFIRMED!
A bunch of Normies will skip DS1 and love DS2 just because is feels more metal gear
There is goes my comfy fandom
on base PS5
I love Kojima so much... thought I would need a PRO for 60 fps.
Foolish porter! You must find and devour the seven crystal babies!
mgs1, 2 and 3 are a million times better than any other shit kojima has worked on
lol kill yourself zoomer
These retards that want games to be as lean as possible should've avoided becoming addicted to Twitter
I hope we get some cute dating minigames... like being able to gift Fragile stuff she might like, or just spending time together doing cute stuff.
You don't, performance mode on base PS5 was 60 fps and worked and looked great
GOTYAY
I would rather walk for 100 more hours in Death Stranding than have to slog through each MGS again
it certainly feels like a middle finger to Konami
Why does the guy says this when there was people of Kojima Production cheering the MGS triangle team at TokyoGameShow?
Kojima is just doing this to guarantee the continuation of his company when his weirder projects flop
Looks like the scene where Sam is just walking around with baby Lou is going to be the prologue this time
I'm glad that the NPC camps are more smart this time, one of my problems with DS1 is that all you need is the ball gun to pretty much never worry about MULES again
I'm betting Sam's DOOMs got worse so now he can see BTs without a BB.
I think a lot of people might actually go back to DS1 and check it out after enjoying the sequel.
Weird that Kojima has spent his entire life making games about virgins but now he suddenly decides to make proFamily games
I wonder what happens with Lou if you fall down with her
Australia
date palms
It looks more like North Africa.
I really hope they get rid of her completely. That shit is so awkward and retarded.
He can always return as an outsourced studio for a new Metal Gear if he really want the really easy money. the guy handling the franchise right now said he's open to work with him again if he wants to and he has worked with Kojima in the past
kys faggot, don't ever talk shit about my baby
He speaks English
I think she becomes a ghost and you still carry her around in the BB pod. You can actually see her react to riding the monorail in the trailer so she is definitely with you.
Pretty ironic considering he seems to be less close to his family, we have not heard of them in decades when he used to talk a little about his wife and son (either that or he want to protect them from the "superstardom" thing he built after leaving Konami)
She is going to get timefalled and turn into Tomorrow, the babies are pretty much being dropped for tentacles things that detect BTs
So is Troy Baker this series' Liquid Snake?
Did a no kill playthrough
Feels angelic
Russia.... Is le problem!!!! Is this nigga even invested in the accuracy of his words?
Russia hasn't done shit, (((on paper))) doesn't count
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,
This is the dumbest collection of sentences I've read this week
Higgs pretty much is based on Liquid yes, Kojima said for a long time that he regretted killing Liquid Snake, even saying he would like a second MGS1 remake to revive the character. I assume it's why Higgs is back.
Actually invading countries, killing their people and stealing their land is bad
Where did you see npcs in cities?
America is the source of all the evils in the world
Gameplay looks identical to the first game just with some more gadgets. Shooting looks exactly the same despite the previews saying how different it is
where the fuck are Mama, die hardman and deadman? Deadman seems to be shown dying in one trailer and he still looks like his DS1 self, Mama and die-hardman are pretty much missing.
Cliff not be there, I understand, but these two ?
I'm wondering if the people who played this preview either are glazing Kojima or have finished the first game
Death Stranding can't be ended, just delayed
Delayed by billions of years until the sun goes supernova. Higgs didn't want to wait that long.
