Is this the first case of a game scoring too well??

Please be good!

DS1 was a very experimental game, it's pretty likely that they polished the rough parts for the sequel.
But other than that, people going into DS2 already know what to expect of the game, I think people going into DS1 expecting a completely different game contributed to the confusion and mixed reactions

they... they riked it?

Yeah if you think OD will just be a normal horror game or Physint just another Metal Gear without the name you're very mistaken. He will make those games completely different, unlike anything people expect and you either love them or hate them, he will not care, which I highly respect.

kinda worrying
casuals have generally pretty shitty taste

claims Kojima

So he paid for the reviews, since he already knows?

Okay but would it also kill him to make it good as well?

Kojima should visit Anon Babble then.

make the game more action focused

normie cattle love it

I'm sorry Kojima.... I riked it.

good means mainstream and he doesn't wanna do that, you will suffer like you've never did before if you play his games and you will like it or hate it. He rather wants you to hate it than the game just being forgettable

After that he will go absolutely batshit insane with OD and Physint, our buttholes aren't ready.

This attitude is perfectly understandable. Almost everything that's beloved by the masses is just "fine". It's designed to be easily digested. Kojima wants to make "what the fuck" games where he's pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable, and that's cool. He'd rather you hate his work than be indifferent to it

if Death Stranding 2 reviews in the 9/10 or, God forbid, 10/10 range I might consider dropping my pre-order and skipping it entirely, I only play games that are solid 7-8 out of 10’s at a maximum

Exactly. I still think there will be a massive, crazy twist in DS2.

Kojima is just too based for the videogame world. Only man that understands the importance of his sequel being controversial with retarded test audiences. Too bad I dont like his games generally other than Death Stranding. But i have to assume that Konami had some hand in that.

not a bad strategy

youre just bluffing right?

"More Aliens than Alien"

I only got like 4 hours into desu stranding. I really wanted to like it, the concepts are great but it needed a lot more polish. World kinda felt empty and repetitive, stuff like delivering all these 'life saving goods' to an empty depot kiosk with the hologram of a chode saying "good job!" and a little flavor text felt pretty archaic and bare bones, too video gamey and not immersive enough. I get that part of the disconnect is supposed to be part of the atmosphere but it felt more lazy than intentional. Like there is not interactivity, no one is ever outside, throw me a curve ball or some variety like chodester is mowing his lawn or tending to his vegetable patch when I drop a delivery in and actually he needs my help pulling some turnips out the ground real quick. There was a quest where a bunch of items where lost and flowing down the river, that was pretty funny, needs a lot more stuff like that which keeps you on your toes and interacting with the world.

nice greentext btw

*yawn*

that would require a way to prevent you from running him over with your truck
that's 3 years of extra development minimum

They made this game in only 3 years while barely having a studio to work in and people to make the game. The sequel will have a lot more variety

This just justifies even more what the other anon was saying a few threads ago about Kojima: when he's gone we'll miss him because no one is capable enough of doing what he does.

Make no mistake niggas, the game will still be very unique, even more so than DS1.

I want to make something new

Literally known for constant Metal Gear. zone of enders, and a second DS slop

I fucking hope, but I still want to unwind while doing my deliveries.

No one is going to miss him except drones. Seriously, you faggot screech about "le unique and creative games!!" Yet ALWAYS ignore Suda51 or classic unique games that gave already been out for years. Which makes me think most of you are just PlayStation babies who never try anything outside your box.

He's overthinking it. The major reason they're getting high approval ratings is because it's a well-known sequel. We live in the day and age where people are more likely to pick up a sequel than an IP's first installment, even if they've never played the original game. Normies automatically assume the sequel is always better, and they never worry they're missing out anymore because every sequel is tailored to appeal to new players to the series.

Kojimadrones are truly and unmistakably the most insufferable fucking losers in the whole gaming medium.

But enough about tendies

Suda hasn't made a particularly creative or good game since NMH1 so everyone lost interest in him. People still often talk fondly about his older games.

Based.

Day and date release with PC would sell way more copies.

E33 troons getting REALLY nervous. The anti-japanese posting has been increasing ever since ds2 is gaining hype.

I just call them brothers and uber chads. Keep on keeping on!

suda51 fell off

of course he fell off, everyone fell off except kojima
