Death Stranding 2
Was there a new thing released regarding this or something?
30 hour previews dropped and it’s pretty much mgs6
they got Mel Gibson to endorse it
Can I see the preview?
I’m happy to say that, so far, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is fulfilling that potential. I spent four days at Kojima Productions in Tokyo playing over 25 hours of the follow-up – roughly 40 percent of the experience, according to director Hideo Kojima himself. I walked away thinking one thing: Death Stranding 2 is a very fun game that amplifies the original’s strengths while vastly remedying its weaknesses.
Another welcome change is the scenery. The first Death Stranding was a pretty but visually monotonous adventure due to the largely unchanging Icelandic-like landscapes. The sequel immediately remedies this sameness by making the adventure a globe-trotting affair. I can only speak for Mexico and Australia, but the new locations provide a welcome variety. Death Stranding 2 begins with Sam trekking across a desert’s arid, rocky cliffs. Before I tire of this scenery, the adventure soon introduces lush forests. New dynamic weather events bolster these impressive biomes. I trudged through violent sandstorms and dodged raining fireballs that ignited a raging bushfire. These occurrences add another layer of challenge to delivering packages safely.
Death Stranding 2’s most pleasant surprise is its much-improved combat. Creative new weapons help to improve gunplay, and a freeform approach to encounters reminds me of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain’s best elements.
first ds is a self-important walking simulator full of hollywood actors, boring gameplay, and a story that is simultaneously incomprehensibly stupid and comically unsubtle
under-performs
still gets a sequel
Kojima has made terrible game after terrible game for years and the gaming media still holds him up like his touch cures cancer. I wish I had half his luck.
Kanye game when
Does Elle Fanning play the baby? That looks like her nose
>under-performs
>still gets a sequel
Almost as if you were wrong and don't know anything and it performed well.
One of the most welcome additions to Death Stranding 2 is the new Corpus feature. It’s an in-game glossary that can be accessed at any time, even during cutscenes. It’s exhaustive, giving you in-depth explanations on demand regarding the story, terms, characters, and mechanics.
Based. I like that games are putting this in now. Makes it easier to remember what the fuck is going on when you take a break.
Why is Kojima releasing it only on PS5 to launch when it was said he acquired the franchise from Sony ? Wouldn't he'll be able to launch on other platforms if he wanted thanks to this ? Is he only releasing on launch on PS5 out of "respect" for Sony ?
Also every reviewers are like "wow the gameplay is AMAZING" but the previews just looks like the first game with a few new features, did these reviewers played the original game or what ? I'm a little confused
I find that nice, but for me the most welcome addition is the music player that lets you listen to songs while playing.
did these reviewers played the original game or what ?
I also noticed most reviews saying some line addressing that apparently they gave the first a negative review.
I think it is just journos being shallow shits who saw they got shat on for not liking the first game and are trying to posture in some attempt to get people to respect them.
Games journalism: it is never about the game but their own egos
You are fooling yourself if you are expecting MGS6, it's just like the original game with a few new features youtube.com
it's just like the original game with a few new features
Good. That's what I wanted. First game but with more challenges.

Easier to focus on one platform at a time during development. Helps things go a bit smoother. There will be a pc version in a year is so.
Same, if I want to play MG, I'll play the remake of MGS3
I was a little afraid the game was going to be full action and full of MGS memberberries, forgetting what made Death Stranding it's own game.
Or you can just play both like I will
I'll probably do the same, but PS5 are not cheap, avoiding spoiler will be a pain.
I was able to pick up a ps5 pro for 400 with the disc drive. I am ready for kino all summer. What country are you in and how much does a base pa5 cost?
No low roar
My only complaint
They are pretty much all costly in Europe, even the digital only one is 400something. And things are only getting worse, prices probably were better a few months ago but I got lazy
They are confirmed in
sounds like a sequel to death stranding, im also excited to hear the unreleased new low roar in this game. havent touched my ps5 since the day i got it but im really excited for DEATH STRANDING 2 : ) :) : ): ) :) :) : ): ):
(me)
was scared to hear how the bosses have a skip function as i always thought they were the weakest part of ds1. but everything else im hearing sounds amazing, im so fucking ready, im baseding im baseding
kek source?
you will eat the cryptobiote
you will wear the handcuffs
you will join the chyral network and UCA
you will print everything and you will be happy
DS is clearly aiming for a more casual audience because Kojima want movie people to play his games, for better and/or worse.
in fact, when the guy who is making the death stranding movie asked to play his games, Kojima forbad him to play his Konami era games
they can just play casual mode then
With how it is implemented I wonder if the DMC guy he hired gave him the idea.
DMC3
die too much and game asks if you want to lower difficulty
DS2
die too much and game asks if you want to skip the boss
I mean he did some similar stuff before like the chicken hat, but at least at the time it was more creative and a bit humorous, here it's just "you can skip everything", which makes me a bit worried some boss fight won't have story segments or important dialogues in, due to the skipping function
I know his studio had a lot of foreigners but I didn't know it was this much, is it becoming the hub of non-japanese developers in Japan ?
I wonder how many of his old crew are left, we know not that many followed and some left after the original Death Stranding
some boss fight won't have story segments or important dialogues in, due to the skipping function
I actually think the other way because the "skip" function says it shows a scene of the fight meaning there may be dialogue and plot during the fight to show in these skip scenes.
the bosses babied you a lot in the original DS but i do think the loss component of DS is tied to how you plan out your route when youre delivering packages. If you're too sloppy expect to be annoyed, if you take your time and plan out a proper route, it'll be a breeze.
Thankfully the delivery aspect is still the main point of the sequel, even if it's more action-focused than the original
yeah i was seriously worried it was gonna be something else. But im also kinda dissapointed at the same time, oh well. From what im hearing (gameplay-wise) its sounding like a sequel to the 2019 video game death stranding
What? I see 1 non jap or white plus the wheelchair lady who I am unsure. But I'll go ahead and say mutt and make that 2.
This image always makes me laugh it doesn’t matter how many years have gone by
I’m not being an asshole or anything but what role do you think the woman in the wheelchair has at KJP?
Looking forward to all the new wacky ideas and traversal options Kojima has come up with
It's the same exact shit but with MGSV stealth added, more weapons, and the boss fights in sludge are back and still shitty
My hype went out the fucking window. It looks like a side grade.

This is exactly what I hoped for

do stupid stuff
drive to target
park my car in the parking lot
walk into target
go up the escalator
check to see if they have Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
they probably do
go to the electronics desk
ask the guy to open the glass case for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
hold Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
pay for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
go down the escalator
get out of the target
go back to my car in the parking lot
drive back home
Happy for you. I for one was shocked how 1:1 some of it looks. Without the "Death Stranding 2" title I'd have thought it was the original game. Seems like a lot of insane pre hype, but I want to be wrong. I loved the first game.
I have seen pieces of what look like new traversal options but retarded journos seem to only want to talk about combat
Weird seeing Dary Dixon doing all of this
I’m sure there’s still a bunch of stuff the previews weren’t allowed to speak about and from what I’m reading they made it about a quarter of the way through so there’s probably still a lot of surprises left.
Any mention of BTs and enemies roaming the map instead of being stuck in predetermined areas where you can easily avoid them consistently?
The reviewers haven't mentioned that. Personally these people seem like retards who got filtered by the first game and keep talking about dumb shit fans don't care about.
dont forget, we havent seen gameplay of any of these environments just yet. i have the highest of hopes for this game because of this picture alone
We've seen gameplay of about 5 of those
The last trailer was so fucking insane I couldn’t believe that Kojima could do it again but he did. Not to mention the fact that the decima engine is amazing.
yeah but those were just snippets, like for some of the snow area we only saw sam just sliding down a mountain
I hate when shit like this happens. Gaming “journalists” are the lowest form of humans.
Do you think Kojimbles will pull the ol switcheroo with the protagonist?
i think this will just be a plain sequel
Bump
