Death Stranding 2 Reviews

I’m talking sales.

I’m sure the game’s solidly put together, and I’m sure it’s going to get rave reviews, but this has always been an extremely niche game with a AAA budget that rode on Kojima pedigree alone, and I think you only get to cash that in once. The marketing has been pretty lackluster too.

DS1 sold pretty well after a couple of years though? Its not a game for everyone so I am kinda surprised modern Sony are funding Kojima, but I kinda have to give them props for not forcing him to make mainstream GAAS AAA bait like they seem to be obsessed with as of late.

It won't bomb because kojima is too astroturfed

I guess we’ll find out what percentage of those people who bought the first one actually stuck with it long enough to roll credits, and are chomping at the bit for the ongoing adventures of bored Norman Reedus stumbling around rocks with the drunk physics from GTAIV and picking up boxes.

Game Journos don't play games all day. They have to spend most of it writing a quota of clickbait.

I don't think you understand how bad journos are at games.

Wow, 3 weeks before the game release is actually crazy. Hopefully this time journofags take their sweet time with the game and score what it is actually worth, playing the whole fucking game, doing lot's of side quests and not just rush through the fucking story like these dumbasses did with the first game.

I'm super excited for this but I probably won't play it for quite a while, I wish it came out like 2 months earlier

Kojima seems insanely confident with this game, never before in this industry did journos got to preview a game for 4 full days up to 30 hours. This game will be so damn good, niggas sleeping on this masterpiece are insane. Kojima has been cooking hard the last 6 years. This game will be the MGS2 for a whole new generation. Mfs ain't ready

At least they're not pulling a rockstar were it will be a 1 or 2 YEAR wait before pc

The original sold millions on release and continued to do well on PC and PS5 for years after.
I can't imagine that a sequel which seems set to review better than the first game will sell significantly fewer copies. It's not like there's anything else coming out on PS5.

more overhyped slop

cutscenes valued more than gameplay

if it has celebrities and cutscenes its getting 9/10 no matter what and goty if your game is more cutscenes and gameplay that a infant could do

At least they're not pulling a rockstar were it will be a 1 or 2 YEAR wait before pc

I mean who says that they won't? you gotta understand DS2 was way longer in development than DS1 so I'd guess sony wants a longer exclusive deal

Absolutely deserved, her "How Death Stranding Became My Favourite Game" video was so good. Also she kinda good looking and good taste in games = wife material

Mfs all posting with their play button ready

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

looks like more of the same

Death Stranding was very easy and I'm sure they'll play on baby mode.

No excuses, this time they literally have a button to skip boss fights now lmao, kojima thought about everything, even helping out journofags

"How Death Stranding Became My Favourite Game"

By having criminally shit taste? Sounds like a short one.

when does dunkey review it
only yt opinion that matters

Filtered by Kojikino

Play this game again in a few years when you're older, you will appreciate it more

He secretly loves the game otherwise he wouldn't have two characters maxed out lol, his opinion on DS completely changed but he would never admit that how fucking stupid his first review was

play it again when your cognitive facultires slow down considerably and you have the reflexes of a downy

Yeah that adds up. Criminally shit taste it is.

Holy shit, this nigga is so cooked, literally

Brand figurines

Alexa

Headphones hanging under the desk

Corsair logitech mouse copy

macbook pro instead of a tower

Soundbar

Some sort of speakers in the drawer

Three fucking tv remotes under the desk

Galaxy mousepad

And most importantly

Fucking kids galaxy glow in the night stickers on the wall painted dark blue

Where's his copy?

They already allowed critics to do a preview on the game, basically seducing them and the previews were all very positive. Even some critics did a rereview of DS1.

I think this game will get 10/10 all aboard. They are really confident about it, giving reviewers so much time to review a game will make them feel appreciated and while i believe that there is always an inherent bias when reviewers get a cope beforehand, I really believe that the game will warrant positive reviews.

IGN's new reviewer seems already miles better than the retard that scored the first game. This guy seems to understand Death Stranding way better. 10/10 confirmed.

As I said, it sold on the novelty of being a post-Konami Kojima game. Are there any numbers on the percentage of people who actually finished the game, and are looking for a sequel? I’m willing to bet the VAST majority of people who bought it picked it up on a sale, as it’s one of those games that goes on sale all the time, and then either never started, or got filtered within the first 15 hours.

Dunkey made a complete fool of himself attemptiung to drive around terrain that was not traversable with the Reverse Trike.

The game came out 10 days ago and no one noticed, lol

The first one basically dares you to try and squeeze any sort of enjoyment out of it

Filtered.

lot's of people learned a lesson from his first review, do not blindly trust youtubers and journofags otherwise you will miss out on a truly fantastic game

drive around terrain that was not traversable with the Reverse Trike.

I am replaying Death Stranding (director's cut) and was trying to do that again, just to see what happens in the DC. Sam now says stuff like "yeah, this is not going to work" and I honestly can't recall him saying that in the original version. I guess Kojima realized that some gamers do need a bit of hand holding.

Beat the game to 100% completion twice. But I get it you need a high IQ to enjoy Death Stranding

why does it have such a shitty subtitle?

There is for sure a reason for that, there always is with kojima games, sounds like we will be quite a bit on the beach in this game

wish this game flops hard just like first one so that I can stop blocking kojimbeanershit in catalog

I honestly forgot about this

Death Stranding is a shitty game, I just played it a few months ago. It wasn't as bad as I expected based on what little I knew about it before going in, the world was nice, graphically it looked good. The models and terrain and other stuff was fine. The world building, well the kindest I can say about it was that the world was at least interesting and somewhat unique. The way the story was told though, exposition dump after exposition dump, treating the player (Sam) as if he was completely clueless about the world he inhabits 90% of the time, it was very bad, and the dialogue itself and writing was actually atrocious even if the voice acting wasn't bad. I actually kind of felt sorry for the voice actors delivering such shitty dialogue, they had to know what they were reading was complete and utter nonsense at the time.

Also, 90% of the game once building the road network was just driving the truck around from shelter to shelter doing all the deliveries to get the platinum trophy.

I never did deliveries on foot outside of the first map, there was no reason to not use a trike or the truck once I unlocked it. The Truck can still go anywhere even up the mountains and I could carry like 10+ deliveries at once PLUS materials to build out the road network at the same time, so why wouldn't I use it? The Ziplines were meaningless, never used them. There was always a route I could take the truck up a mountain if I needed to and I learned where to go pretty fast when doing multiple deliveries at once.

I hated how fast the BTs and mules respawned too. I hope DS2 has a mechanic where if I take out all the mules I can "clear" the camp so they don't come back, or if I clear an area of BTs they at least don't respawn instantly like they did in the original game. Such a pain in the ass to bother to kill a BT, move 100 feet away and come back and suddenly they're back again, fucking bullshit.

You post exactly like you look like, like an absolute retard.

Death Stranding is a shitty game

Way to start your stupid post, already stopped reading.

kek this got the dstrannies fuming

play the game again when you're a shit-eating retard that doesn't understand ludokino

but then i'd like kojimatranny shit

we already live in the dystopia

Keep on keeping on

It was though, I have every right to call it what it is when I spent 120 hours playing it. I'm not even saying I won't play DS2, I'm just saying it better actually make improvements about the shitty aspects of the first game. No more exposition dumps for example, Kojima needs to learn show don't tell and stop forcing this incredibly tedious exposition dump dialogue that goes on and on and on for hours on end.

Holy shit Kojimadrones are so fucking pathetic they make nintendies look well-adjusted.

1 already flopped before pc launch so...

at least 80% of them are oldfagwannabe beaner faggots that's why

If you put in 120 hours and still call it a shitty game then there is clearly something wrong with you, also the stuff you're complaining about has been fixed if you read any of the 30 hour playtime previews. They made this game in 3 years while barely having an office to work in, he had to hire staff, they had to learn a brand new engine etc. everything is much better in DS2 now but DS1 is FAR from a shitty game otherwise you wouldn't have spent so much time with this game you hyperbolic bastard.

trannies don't play delivery games though

you spent a long time with a game and formed an opinion? that doesn't count!

kys kojimadroney

K-Drones are mid-IQ browns who think Kojima's off-the-wall ideas that he can't properly translate into enjoyable gameplay mechanics without a team of tard handlers are still novel.

enjoy your below PS2-tier pokemon slop now with 60 fps on Shitch 2

But enough about death stranding 2

Don't think I've ever seen a "no u" this pathetic

turn your monitor on

very early review copies like 1 month before the release

based just like KCD2, another masterpiece incoming.
Funny how the only good games this year have number 2 attached to them.

I wonder if the 1st game will actually get an switch II port?

And 33

Death Stranding 1 was one of the most well optimised games to release in modern gaming.
Death Stranding 2 seems to go even step further.
I don't expect consoleniggers to understand technology though.

kek

kek indeed
so far in this entire year only like 2 games ran very well and the rest were unoptimised slop.

more overly cinematic normalfaggot slop with ACTORS and half-baked ideas kojima can't fully translate

Fooled me once with death slopping, shan't fool me twice

kek this got the dstrannies fuming INSTANTLY

koijma games are literally the opposite of normalfaggot slop, 90% of them get filtered by dialogue and not enough action.
Both of those got improved in DS2 though so goyim like you can stomach it now.

Alright let me phrase it, it's a mediocre and disappointing game. Aspects of it are shitty, other aspects are good, but overall my experience was that it was not a very good game.

Things I liked:

Art direction, some good world building

Good motion capture and character models

Graphically impressive for its time

A lot of quirkiness that you expect from Kojima, has some charm to it.

Story has some promising elements that just don't really pan out all that well, but I give it some credit for building an original, interesting premise even if flawed

Mads Mikkelsen and the clear MGS inspired stuff

Things I disliked:

Far too many cutscenes, the start of the game is like over an hour of cutscenes alone

Story in general is pretty dumb and pretentious

Exposition dump dialogue that treats Sam as if he's a retarded unaware person that despite living in this world for decades, doing deliveries, has no concept of how anything works

That one Japanese "actress" from the bunker with the dude that couldn't act or speak english at all, holy cringe that shit was awful

Most efficient way to play is just driving the truck or a trike around everywhere, you rarely have to use the other structures or walking

Repetitive deliveries that felt pointless, timed deliveries were annoying

Respawning MULEs in the camps

Respawning BTs within a few seconds of leaving the area

No reason to ever use lethal combat despite given the tools

Carrying resources around to build structures / roads was a PITA

Combat in general is not the high point of the game at all, hopefully it's improved in the sequel

You can literally just drive through BT areas anyways since you can escape even if they try dragging you out of the truck

lots of cutscenes and dialog with no proper use of agency-driven storytelling

not normalfaggot slop

Normalfaggots LOVE to sit and watch while the story unravels because playing games is hard.
Don't worry, now you can skip those bosses too, little pleb!

koijma games are literally the opposite of normalfaggot slop

high-budget AAA games with actors and lots of tell-don't-show

yeah that's normalfaggot slop you fucking brainlet

show me normalfaggot slop where you deliver packages in fucking post-apocalypse while you're throwing your own piss at fucking ghosts from the other side.
Or where enemy boss grabs the MC by the balls to recognize if he is fake or not, i'll wait.

show me normalfaggot slop where you deliver packages in fucking post-apocalypse while you're throwing your own piss at fucking ghosts from the other side.

Here you go

He’ll probably make a 4 minute low effort video like all his other slop the past year

You think this fucking retard got a review copy? LOL

woah look at the wacky scenarios that happen this couldnt possibly still be slop with all this zany stuff going down!

Yeah show me some normalfaggot slop where a grieving father raises a young incredibly rare immunized girl in a world infested with cults and plant zombies
You can sensationalize anything it doesn't mean the execution isn't still slop-tier

BASED

exposed face

Wait a sec, wouldn't they mean the "timefall" rain/acid rain will ruin your life forever?

I really think Kojima should have actually shown the very start of the outbreak instead of having it being mostly background noise

sure pedro

kek

real recognizes real

Weak. I got the Trike and Truck up seemingly impossible slopes.

expected response
0/10 ragebait

implying thirdies aren't Nintendo's main audience

enter thread of a vidya xhe is not interested in

instantly seethes that people enjoy it

posts shitty baits

why are they like this?

can play the finished game A WHOLE MONTH earlier than release

god I fucking hate these fags

I recently worked my first ever shift and I think playing Death Stranding 1 recently really helped me get into the mindset
I was a busboy at a very busy bar and I was constantly having to retrieve glasses around the business and deliver them to the dish washer
In one of the rooms they had a DJ and going into that room to retrieve glasses was like being surrounded by BTs it was that busy
I just focused on collecting my packages for delivery

exclusive deal to who? no one will buy a ps5 for death stranding and I can guarantee you that

I think it's a good thing gaming journalism is dying if the people writing these don't care about video games and never get better after thousands of hours of "playing" them
I'd rather a quick simple report on a game by a professional gamer than a 10 page propaganda essay by someone that hates the medium

it fucking sucks i gotta wait 6-8 months to play this on PC man
