Very cool!

Also, gotta love Kojima putting the two black journalists in the center, as if to disprove the narrative of Japanese being racist towards minorities

I liked Death Stranding a lot, but I want to see how much they improved the game's mechanics and combat. I hope for BT fights to be a little more engaging this time around.
 
Why do yall say stupid stuff like this so much?
Japan is racist as all hell, especially for minorities. Even for white or non-Japanese Asians, Japan is not a very friendly place. I knew a girl who was born and grew up in Japan, but her father was white. She would never be considered Japanese inside of Japan because of her father being white. She always felt like an outsider because of it

A ton of the uproar about AC Shadows was not so much about historical accuracy, but just pure racism, where players are forced to play as Yasuke

I just find it to be a fun observation. Kojima is in a room with 30 or so journalists, and the two black journalists are side by side of him. He's embracing it. Which is cool. Even if it comes off as bit ham handed and cringe

I mean it's cool they are up front with him. True. But maybe that's just where they were standing before the person was ready to take the pic......I mean I don't know, just seems weird to assume the worst. Either way Kojima has never had accusations of racism, so I'm not sure why they'd even have it at the top of their mind to "PR" their way out of.
 
There is not a name more nigerian than Blessing Adeoye Jr.

Im eagerly waiting the reviews just to learn what new ideas kojima brings to the table (and im talking gameplay ideas, not crappy plot twists)

Kojima has never had accusations of racism
He might not have been engaging in racism, but eveyone remembers how this dirty commie might have been related to prime minister Abe assassination

I mean as long as you believe far right politicians tweets...

I wasn't talking about Kojima being a racist. I don't believe that. The picture does seem a bit PR driven, but whatever. It could be a coincidence, I just think it's much more likely it is not

Only that Kojima mf can get me excited for a glorified walking simulator. I still have to play through the first one. Did anyone actually think it's good?
Yes it is, currently playing it right now the directors cut for Ps5. I enjoy the gameplay, and beautiful graphics. The story and lore is very interesting. Contrary to what other says that it is just a walking simulator, the game is actually very tactical and cerebral, that involves careful planning and tactics especially when it comes to deliveries and traversing its harsh and mysterious environment, and also expose to dangers from BT and mules ambush. The game has interesting world building concept. The atmosphere is very cozy, it is catharsis in some way.

One of my games of the gen easily and I'm thoroughly a gameplay-first kind of player. Delivering packages, building roads, planning ambushes to raid camps for fabricator materials, figuring out how to survive certain elements etc...I found myself really addicted and wrapped up in it.

It scratches a similar itch as Subnautica for me. The atmosphere and setting does heavy lifting and it's satisfying as hell somehow.

And getting notifications that your structures was used by other players is awesome. That feeling of helping someone else scale a mountain or rapple down a cliff on difficult terrain is so satisfying.

Playing this game each time feels like I'm learning something new. I'm in the later stages of the game and only recently found you can tie down your cargo on the floating carrier. Amazing.

This game is something else.
 
I really hope DS2 has MGS tactical elements. I think it will, just by the obvious nod to Snake in the trailer. It would be a great change of pace from the traversal and building mechanics that were in Death Stranding
