That comparison is inevitable, is going to be fun to watch, that's for sure. BTW Exclusive vs Multi platform.

if people won't play it (and the first game), they are missing out. They can go back to cod and fortnite.
I am here for Kojima. This is why I play games
So we've started those "X% lower than prequel" tweets again. Funny how we only get these for very specific games.
I don't think it's going to matter much.

66% lower is eye catching.
It's not the highest drop in sales from prequel to sequel even this year alone. Those just get no real coverage by Chris and Matt.

I bought it on my ps5 snd will double dip on pc latrr on but you can really tell that sales are shifting with PlayStation games and it's probably because releasing all games on other platforms will affect your platform after all.

Being from the UK, there's hardly a lot of game shops now. The only places I know where you can get physical is either Argos or Smyths. Game has gone down hill since it was bought out by Fat Bastard Ashley aka Sports Direct.

Personally, with his imagination, i'd like something much more interesting than have a focus on delivering packages.

I can't believe people are still saying this is a game about delivering packages.
It's like saying factorio is about delivering packages.

I mean, the focus is traveling from one side of the map to the other, while carrying something for someone. This is the core foundation of its formula. Sure there's some building and peeing on mushrooms, but lol, it's a delivery/walking simulator.

Right…. Sure… I have more driving it this than hiking. And that's not even touching on all the systems

Not that it has anything to do with it, but Astro Bot is a much better game anyway.

It's a 10 hours long platformer for kids and old men. Yeah I platinumed it. It's perfect.
But ds2 is on another level entirely lol.

Here in my country there was an official Sony event for the launch of Astro Bot, it was impressive how all the families were playing and having fun together, the game is really a masterpiece.
I didn't like the first Death Stranding, I won't give the second one a chance.

Thread was fascinating to read, so many ppl on cope mode.
We all knew this was coming, not just because of the decline of physical sales but because of how people who buy ds2 are mostly going to be people who enjoyed a divisive Ds1.
Who exactly is surprised by this news?
Death standing and Ghosts come in the latter 'more of the same stuff' group and it's also why 'Playstation has no games' is a thing

Not neccessarily. Sequels that show a generational improvement can go higher (uncharted 4 vs 3 or Gow 4 vs 3/acension as opposed to God of war ragnarok, horizon: forbidden west).
