This is what videogames became

This is really no different than MGSV that had the anime Paz posters all over Mother Base.

If you played past chapter 3 and still hate it you will never enjoy the game no matter how hard you try

Wrong. That wasn't a fucking ad. This is advertisement for some Vtuber.

Is it true that death stranding 2 is 30fps on PS5/series x?

I don't like vtubers as much as the next guy, but I am glad the inclusion of them are filtering retards out of Death Stranding

apparently that's an actual vtuber

Welp, Death Stranding 2 looked like it would be game of the year but it seems he lost the plot and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 just won by default.

Apparently it'll have a 60fps performance mode and a 30fps quality mode.

you can grab a car or some bike and skip the core gameplay

I thought so, too, but only now after playing this game do I truly understand the importance of roads.

I hate vtubers so much.

Always men and trannies larping as the most generic anime girl imaginable.

Honestly given how goofy the people in bunkers were acting even in the first game (due to long term isolation), it's not really surprising that some would have some shitty vtuber skin as their hologram.

Like, we already had conan o'brien in an otter cap, I don't really think this is that much sillier or unrealistic.

i love pekora

I don't understand why people care
The fact that this board has constant threads about this is just bizarre
I've never watched a v-tuber before but it doesn't bother me one bit that Kojima is putting one in what will be a 10/10 masterpiece

Go away, normie

Does she need a cummies delivery? I assume that’s why she’s in the game

post the full thing, retard

posts the full thing

this is somehow supposed to make it less shit

So remind, what was the reason why protag is the only person on the planet who can walk two kilometers from one base to next?

youtu.be/JBEMKlSdgF8?si=nvH9iSpR0AP6MX_4&t=7

riveting gameplay.

He's not, you see other porters pretty often. There's also Fragile's whole freighter business.

Sam is just the one they picked to do this big 'unite America' mission because of his experience + connection with Amelie and the president.

youtu.be/_YC3sTbAPcU?si=udwI0ckiboAnSNW2
someone should have killed Kojima by car accident like averageisekaishit just before Death Stranding into production

it's absolute kino

whats the problem?
are you mad its not some hollyjew roastie instead?

hollyjew roastie

plenty of those in Dogshit Stranding thobeit and a hollyjew tranny in the sequel

building ziplines everywhere is fun

OH MY GOD LOOK ITS PEKORA CHAN SUGOI

You can roman salute Pekora? Holy based

normie

Way to outing yourself, faggot.

SIEG HEIL

Jesus Kojima.....

I'm fine with this, because Sony payed for this.

based Kojimbo for adding his oshi. I would unironically pay double if he also added best DOOG

These are just the building blocks of the basic gameplay.

The story is actually interesting. The game looks beautiful on my 4090 max settings. The cutscenes, bosses, characters are all interesting and why they connect to each other.

I like the tools the game gives you to handle situations like BTs, MULES or even Demens.
Also, I like the aspect of a single player game that everyone is experiencing at the same time that lead to helping the next person playing as Sam. This means building roads, bunkers, bridges, ziplines or even just a hint that an area is expected to have BTs with a simple "BT" sign.
I really enjoyed getting a few non-lethal weapons and raiding a MULE or Demens camp and taking all of their supplies to contribute back to a road, bridge, zipline, etc for the next player.

its a walking simulator

This is a very wrong stereotype. In all games you need to walk, it's just that in Death Stranding there is physics of the character and his inventory. This is just a new level of movement in open world games, all games should be the same as Death Stranding. Usually in games like Skyrim people mindlessly hold forward and movement becomes a routine so everyone uses soulless teleportation instead.

Based

Death Stranding is one of the best games of the last decade

I like how DS handled fast travel too. You can use it to make things less tedious but because you cannot teleport with cargo you still have to traverse the terrain if you want to get anything done.

Musk did an actual salute you know

I like how every deathstranding zoomie apologists went to ashes and only sea&br vtubberniggers left, good job, Kojima

game about a society of sad and loney shut ins living in their bunkers and not forming real connections

features a vtuber

it's like poetry, it rhymes

It makes sense though? At least at an early point in the game. The people in the smaller bunkers generally ARE the weirder, more socially isolated ones in this setting. They all start out only speaking to Sam through holograms, and usually very curtly, too, and you have to do a fair few deliveries for them before they come around to re-joining society at large + bother to actually talk with Sam face to face.

It's not shocking in the slightest that some isolated weirdo would choose to have a stupid little vtuber skin as their interaction hologram. I'd only have a problem with the implementation of it if the actual real person doesn't eventually come out themselves as well.

Gets mad at someone for enjoying another content creator

I've never played this game and here's my random take on what are the only reasons people defend it.

It has insane production value (graphic and voice acting)

It was made by famous guy who is good at media hype

The story is original (no reason to deny it)

The stuff for avoiding to walk, like building ziplines, is decently ok?

The rest is walking simulator.

Just finished the first game last week. It's a pity that I won't be able to play the second one in june, but when it comes out on PC I'll definitely play it.

It's a logistics simulator

Yes just like Euro Truck Simulator. Same but slower.

There are AI opponents and monsters, you can kill them, knock them out non-lethally or sneak past them. This is a regular open world game, very similar to mgs5.

No, it's a logistics simulator. You need to get as many packages from Point A to B and A to C and B to C and B to A and B to C and so on.
You have to traverse over terrain to do this, or help build roads with others online so you can make it over the terrain.
It's all logistics, including the stealth.

I'd only have a problem with the implementation of it if the actual real person doesn't eventually come out themselves as well.

Chances are 0 of that happening. Unless some random girl is tasked with playing her real life self, which I find almost highly as unlikely. It will simply be Pekora as herself as a guest prepper.

I......RECOGNIZE THAT THING!!!!!

Sex with Korone.

do something tongue-in-cheek that would be totally at home in the original MGS2

people complain

yeah face-scanning Hollywood actors for games is pretty grim

What's the problem chuddy? the game has the best facial expressions in all of gaming and you're complaining? why? naughty dog is literally doing the same now too with their woke space shit game, get used to it

Any time zoomers say "production value" my brain turns off

Epic

not Miko in the baby bottle

I know nothing about anime, explain it to me what this is supposed to be / mean

The fact that he's a talentless sellout hack that makes very weird a pretentious poorly written games is literally his appeal and why his games are good.

bland roasty with a generic anime girl model

tongue-in-cheek

It's a literal advert bro.

Building the ziplines is fun but actually using them is boring.

It's not anime.

my issue with death stranding was the ghosts respawning almost instantly. You can "clear" out an area by killing the BT after getting dragged to it / cutting their umbilicals but if you leave the area and come back they all respawn. Was so fucking annoying because there were some areas that you might be going through multiple times for deliveries and the BTs just respawn even if you take the time to get rid of them.

Commonplace in Japanese games

he thinks Pekora, the HERO OF JAPAN'S CHILDREN, needs any advertisement

LEMAO

The story is a generic anime rpg story (collect teammates, non-logical plot twist, talk no jutsu final boss, etc).
The setting is original and good.

can't wait to see what her character is all about

It's fine part breath taking and meditative and another part autistically trying to get likes and 100%

facial expressions

nta you mean face scanning, you retarded catposter

I don't think they respawn that fast, maybe they changed it in director's cut. I cleared a lot of areas and they didn't show up since.

It's funny as fuck that none of the mgsV nonsense caused fanboys to stop dick riding kojima but one vtuber has them completely lose it

Judging from the short video, it looks similar to the holographic "signs" of people waving and whatnot left around places. I mean, who even cares. We already had otterman in the first game, it's not much different. Just a silly nod for people who can appreciate it. For others (((don't play that optional side quest you nigger)))

doesn't mind the basedjak TV celebs in the first DS

dies over minimal appearance of some vtuber

Reflect on your state of mind OP

ps5 exclusive again?? huh

I know it's been a few years but it's nuts how Anon Babble is forgetting the number of cameos the first game had.

Wow this gameplay fire senpai

This is all just pre-cope for kojimas true AAAA game. Konami beware.

anime not only has shit writing in general, it also has shit animation (how fucking ironic)

at least japs are getting their well deserved recession

This is some high level retardation. Anime is a sort of catch all for specific region animation. Okay, so even in anime, there's varying animation styles. This is like saying all cartoons are ugly. Nigger there's claymation, hand drawn, computer generated, and even a thousand styles of each. Just say you're ignorant and we'd understand more.

Story in modern anime is the same as modern games, movies, shows, music... most modern media is a quick cash grab. There's some that breaks that pattern though so it's disingenuous to say ALL are bad/shit. That's like saying video games are inherently violent. Fucking lol

ive watched too much anime shit after the big coof hit, easily over 300 shows, you are a stupid pretentious weeb faggot. keep pretending to enjoy your trash that gets mogged in animation quality by most children's cartoons

I find it funny that DS made me care about golden boots enough to autistically plan routes to get them. I mean for fucking boots in a videogame. It's kind of funny, but they are reliable as fuck and really good.

Why does weebshit have to infest everything.

It's grim I can't play this game on PC right now.

True.

Pekora won

Somebody please tell this gook retard to get back with konami and start churning out metal gear games. Nobody gives a fuck about his self-wanking side projects that he uses as an excuse to hang out with hollywood actors

It just means a lot of money was sunk into the production. It isn't necessarily a good thing, it's just a neutral observation. It typically means top notch modern graphic, voice acting, cutscenes, lots of sfx and music, etc. The gameplay can still suck. I don't see anything wrong with objectively pointing that a lot of money was sunk into production.

the autist burned every bridge he had with konami and there's 0% chance they'll ever collaborate

Why is everyone in this thread so anti-japan? This game looks way more fun than anything released within the past 10 years in the west. Do americans and westerners have some sort of nigger parasite in their brain telling them to demonize japan?

Mogged in animation quality by most childrens cartoons

You're not even attempting with how bad this bait is

Hello newfriend Anon Babble is anti-fun, no games allowed.
Can't wait to play it, Death Stranding was fun.

How many decades of "Kojima is a hack" do you need to hear before you realize Kojima is a hack?

but we have solid snake at home

keep coping weeb retard

Kek just because you watch a bunch of trash doesn't mean there can't be art. Imagine only ever watching the fast and the furious movies and thinking "huh so these are movies?" What a nerd.

No but I laughed at

solidus snake

Like mother fucker this is too bad

gasseous snake

Lmao

Filtered. Kojima Won. Japan Won. Hitler won. Anime won. The West? Dead, as it should be.

Hates this faggot's face like you wouldn't believe.

handsome

Yeah checks out, keep coping ugly faggot

What's up with kojimbo?
Is this nigga making videogames anymore or just going into cocaine and dead hookers hollywood parties?

flooded with hindpoos because "I can't breedu!"

won

Yeah they won collective dysentary

he sucked kojimbo's little prick really good like everyone else who got a role, that's part of the audition

handsome

Anon he looks like beta faggot past prime twink that got hooked on fent

In english ya daft cunt

He looks like he sucks dick for intravenous drugs

Kek and you don't? Never going to make it.

sanpaku eyes

Maybe he'll end up doing us a favor by snapping and massacring Kojimbo

Ya gotta get out of kensington, man.

I'm more interested in art about life and death than about politics. He's done enough in metal gear, it's all clear there. Metal Gear 2 is still relevant.

I don't understand why people pretend to like recent kojima shit. MGS1,2 and 3 were all fantastic 10/10 games. But MGSV was awful full of boring tedium and death stranding was even worse.

youtube.com/watch?v=HFVbEYOKbd4

I like raiding mule camps and literally stealing their resources and dumping them into a random postbox.

I don't even watch anime but I know it can be worse than the picture book slideshow shit that is modern cartoons

kek based
I'm going to do that when I reinstall the game

You could say its the Dark Souls or Euro Truck Simulators

I got memed into buying the first game (on sale).
It's a literal walking simulator where Kojima show up from time to time to show his favorite music band.
I can't believe that shit got a sequel.

Oh no, the sequel has hilariously campy sponsor bullshit in it. What a radical departure from the first! How will I carry on after such a decay of the series' spirit? Anyways... time for more cozy hiking!

Wait, this is not an edit? The second game will have vtubers? What for? It's gonna age so badly when these vtubers "graduate" (aka get fired for having a bf or something else just as dumb).

Let me guess, you stopped playing after an hour? Tell tale signs often tell true

I don't care about vtubers, but it's like this:

In a post-apocalyptic world in which people are stuck in bunkers because of timefall and nuclear ghosts, why would virtually everyone NOT become obsessed with electronic media, including holographic super stars? They have all the time in the world to indulge themselves in the network, even in stuff that might not be there first pick otherwise.

It only makes sense. Pekora is like, whatever, but it totally fits in with the theme. And if it can get more people to buy his game without hurting the overall feel of it, why wouldn't Kojima do it?

Kojima could do absolutely anything and and you fuckers would whine. Death Stranding 1 is even an amazingly optimized PC port, for fuck's sake. You're looking at the weirdo who makes the last great AAA games, he's able to marshal lots of money, and he puts it to good use, making whatever the fuck he wants while he can. How can you not respect it?

I tried playing Death Stranding a few times, and while I never managed to beat it, I can wholeheartedly say that it's the best looking game out there that also *plays* smoothly as fuck. It was buttery smooth on my base fucking PS4. Shit was gorgeous to see.

I stopped playing after the strangling people from behind tutorial.

Imagine getting this worked up over one funny scene in an 80 hour game.

This. Anon Babble likes to bitch and moan. Unfortunately, newfags won't experience a time in Anon Babble literally everyone here is dickriding kojima unapological.
i miss those times. they'll never come back ever again

solid spaghetti

I would say interest in VTubers comes from infantilism, and when you are a participant in mass extinction, infantilism is probably not a concern. On the other hand, Kojima's games have never been serious, so as a Hideo Kojima game, everything is quite normal here. In MGS5, there were also boxes with anime girls that attracted Soviet soldiers.

ewfags won't experience a time in Anon Babble literally everyone here is dickriding kojima unapological.

It's going to happen again. I'm sure of it.

I will buy your game now.

This is one of the few games that almost never ceases to give you new tools/gear and mechanics to play with. Literally 30+ hours in and you're still unlocking new shit. It's a completely different game by the end. Definitely not a walking sim despite a major mechanic being walking.

dumb dog poster

I have 1 friend and 1 woman and when I played with each of them in coop games I was always bored and I caught myself thinking that it is more interesting to play alone. For example, Resident Evil 5 and 6 are more interesting to play alone for me. My problem with coop games is that people's skills are not equal and you are always in a situation where either you are carrying an idiot or you are an idiot who is being carried.

Ehm okay? but this isn't really a coop game, you know that, right?

Japan flooded with pajeets? thats more of canadas thing desu

zipline chains is legitimately one of the most fun things in any game i have ever played.

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

I could care less about this vtuber gay shit, but the overall casting crossed the line. Debra wilson = automatic no buy from me. Also Elle Fanning is fucking ugly and cant act, so thats strike 2. Will just pirate.

Cinema

Will just pirate.

Sit tight.

Should I enable other players' structures and stuff for my first playthrough?

No. You don't want to see this shit fest.

Why not?

Immersion breaking.

Yeah I think they're cool and NOT immersion breaking. is just a cynic for some reason. If you're running around this massively explorable map, sure it's fucking great to come across a perfectly placed ladder that helps you out. Besides structures have degrading over time so it's kinda gay if you're the only person putting them out.

what's so good about Legos? you can just use a guide or tutorial to get the builds you want. you can't even relax while doing it because you need to pay attention to where each piece goes

he thinks Coca Cola, the sugary carbonated beverage needs any advertisement

lmao

lmfao

Americans having a meltdown over an anime girl

if they were in charge it'd be a fat xheboon (it's a tranny)

If you play on release then it is fine I think. But if you play a few months into the game then it isn't very fun to have perfect roads laid out everywhere, or perfectly positioned ropes and ladders everywhere you go.
Not sure if PC and PS4 had cross-play in that sense but I will probably try to play solo on PC this time around.

It's better than Monster Energy, I instantly uninstalled the game at that exact moment.

Kojima is a big enough deal that he gets to put whatever he wants into his games. That's his prerrogative.

If you had a studio with your name on it and the same prestiege as him, what would (You) put in a game?

They replaced it in the Director's Cut.
Naturally PC mods brought it back.

I hope timefall is less annoying. It was such a PITA in the first game for your weapons to degrade before you even used them because you wanted to be prepared.

the whole point of that game is to showcase how capitalism will outlive the apocalypse so adding corporate influencers into the game is a masterstroke of genius.

also the 1st game had conan obrien, hololive is just a japanese version of that for zoomies.

carry a Bola gun everywhere

every ~10 stops I've got to replace it despite never using it

Meh, never really was an issue to me. As long as you didn't fall or drop shit, timefall never really affected anything other than some gear. And I didn't use half the gear anyways, it was for just in case scenarios.

KEEP ON KEEPING ON

I'M SAM

did some of you retards even play the fucking game?

gamerant.com/death-stranding-how-to-unlock-the-backpack-cover/

If there was a cutscene where kojima was just sitting at a table eating a hamburger Anon Babble would give the game a 10/10

posts xer guide on 4chinchin for clicks

kek the absolute state

I love the Bola gun, even after unlocking the non-lethal assault rifle I kept using the Bola. Mostly because aiming with a controller is cancer.

I don't recall this, and I Plat'd the game. Is that only on the Director's Cut version or something? Or maybe I never cared for it.

I hope timefall is an actual mechanic. It doesn't do anything in DS1 after you realize dropping your cargo is not a thing after the first 3hrs, and that it doesn't really damage your vehicles either besides cosmetics.

From fucking random e-celebs on nico nico to having a cameo in Kojimbo's magnum opus. She sure has come far in just a few years. Kind of inspiring, really.

I almost never rested in the private room because it advanced time damaging your structures and I played on Very Hard which significantly speeds up structure degradation.

Literally the best part of the game.
After building you can delete, consider that the game is over and there will be nothing more interesting in it.

G O T Y

If you want to complain, complain about the fact it is a literal walking simulator. A vtuber cameo is so insignificant it is not worth mentioning in the grand scheme of things.
