That figures. Even with 1.5 being real, it would still be a flop with how much they dumped into it. I can't find a concrete number on the budget but it's at least a hundred million and they probably spent close to that on just marketing.

How long before retarded Sony cuts him loose and stops pretending this guy is a visionary when his games don't sell to anyone but zealot retards? I suppose we can expect Death Stranding : Part 1 and 2 remakes. And then the Death Stranding: Complete Edition.

On a lighter note, Delta can't come out soon enough.

If you can only explain the plot of your game in cut scenes then you are a shitty game writer.

Maybe a good movie writer, but a shitty game writer.

If your „game“ is cut scenes between walking sections then you‘re just watching a movie with extra steps.

Some autist on YouTube did the math and DS2's campaign is about 30 hours long.

That sounds like a lot but if you strip out the cutescenes and boss battles which are essentially cutscenes there's about 5-6 hours of actual gameplay.

This really is MGS4 2.0
 
Wiley japanese saw it coming and cut a deal with Microsoft before the numbers came in. He'll keep getting away with it.

That's gonna depend on opaque long tail stuff we'll never find out. Like I can't remember if DS1 was a playstation plus pro premium monthly game but they have ways to drag it out with metrics we can't see, so don't get too surprised if they keep him around as a figurehead for trade events like they have for decades.

I'm actually not totally convinced he's a real person and not some elaborate corporate mascot.
(Unironically. I remember some odd shit in Konami investor documents back when everyone thought MGSV was an ARG.)

Death Stranding is obviously the result of him hearing the term "walking simulator" while smoking a blunt, my dude. The wanting to be a movie director while making games thing has always been apparent but at least in DS it's kind of up front as the whole gag (which we didn't need twice. Or arguably, once).
 
Playing through Death Stranding 1. Made it to the Timefall Farm after an ungodly amount of time. I can see why it's not to people's tastes, but I like it well enough. Nice, simple game to shut my brain off to, listen to something in the background, and while away the hours while I try to rebuild America.

That said... this reads like WEF propaganda. A great cataclysmic event that wipes out most of humanity. Only the right™ people survive, and the world is ultimately the better for it. Most of the survivors are gathered in large cities scattered across the country, unable and probably unwilling to leave and brave the timefall-and-BT-infested wilderness. Sam is a glorified wagie, an Amazon delivery driver that's getting paid in literal Facebook likes, not even an exchangeable currency. You can't even spam it and feel better for it...

In any other interpretation this would be hell on Earth, but I guess since it's a Kojima game it's at least palatable, if not somewhat interesting in its own right.

Funny how this came out a year before COVID. As much as it's fun to think it's all a conspiracy it's probably just a coincidence. Probably.

E: also what's with the chud?

It's a metaphor for the virtual social collapse of the IRL world that we've already experienced, dude. And how Kojima hanging out with his favourite bands and posting it on twitter will save us by making the usurping digital connections that we didn't really want but are now stuck with more meaningful, or something?
Anyway whatever it is, you're overlooking it if you're just thinking in sci-fi terms about a future great reset or whatever.

Maybe you're right. I dunno, I'm just trying to make sense of all the weird shit I see, but this game is clearly wearing me out. Keep forgetting there's an actual plot here and it's not just delivering packages and building infrastructure, that you're supposed to save Not-Hillary-Clinton's daughter. You didn't account for that, or the baby pod things

I genuinely think covid is the only reason this game was redeemed from being a universal flop.
The whole message of "violence bad killing bad connection good" is so heavyhanded in some sections and ignored on the other that its hilarious.

Honestly, I don't hate the idea of being a messenger/delivery guy instead of a supersoldier, But I genuinely wish retard stuff such as "you get likes only because negativity bad", especially as we now live in the era of toxic positivity.
 
It's funny that certain people who have been claiming for the past few years that Kojima is a wholesome woman respecter and circlejerking over video essays about how he was always "our comrade" are the same people who ragged on Kojima earlier over MGSV and called him a sexist and a borderline rapist over Quiet, making "horny Jap" and "two A-bombs weren't enough!" jokes while he was getting fired by Konami and now, during the release of the first DS game till now, they all pretend they didn’t do that.

It's also funny that, at the time when Konami was doing everything they could to get rid of Kojima and the MGS team by making things untenable for him, these people who talk out of both sides of their mouths about how "we just want you all, even the freakin' CHUDS to have labor unions and health care" and "da freaking CHUDS should be KILLED", were right in the middle of Gamergate calling Kojima a sexist who needed to be gotten rid of, and now they insist that he's always been a freaking epic Chapo Trap House-style leftist and a genius!...and also will claim that his whole career he was a George Lucas who needed a legion of tard wranglers to point him in the proper direction.

MGSV is still pretty good game, having revisited in recent times and it's a shame his brain was eaten up with his Hollywood fetish.
 
Finished Death Stranding 2.

Liked it a lot more than the first one, I foresaw certain twists by the first trailer that came out a few years ago (Elle Fanning playing an older Lou). And yet, sometimes, Kojima makes some questionable choices that are a bit too much and can ruin a scene (Charlie coming out of the tar and starts dancing, before turning into Die-Hardman).


Now I'll scour this thread for some reviews.

Let me paraphrase my first sentence about "Liked it more than the first one."

Kojima needs someone to keep him in check at all times. He cannot be left alone with blank cheque budget and a Hollywood celebrities rolodex. The level of style over substance in this game is something else. You got something so incredibly looking and then a character called "Rainy" gives you a thumbs-up.
