Is this due to Reedus's acting or because of the improved animations and facial capture?Norman Reedus' performance is already noticeably improved in this. There's more subtle emotional depth in his expressions
MGS4This is Kojima's best game since _______ ?
I will when talking about major events. I'm still in episode 1 but picking up the lost cargo on the way and delivering them. Can't change an old dogJust spoiler tag it.
How far are you into it now?
I'm jealous, although I could download and install it now, I'd rather use the physical copy I ordered and spend the weekend playing it instead.
So instead of expanding on the burning bodies and void out mechanics, they outright removed it? Smh
And from reading on the internet it seems the game actually has 4 casual difficulty level, basically all of them
Sometimes I wonder, do they not have any hardcore gamers among those developers? They must have spent 1000s of hours testing the game and not one dev thought the game was too fucking easy? How does that happen?
I think it's the technical improvements, maybe the writing is a bit better tooIs this due to Reedus's acting or because of the improved animations and facial capture?
look out for my laddersI won't be jumping in until Saturday.![]()
Those are the types of details I love.Holy shit, how did I not know you could put your backpack on the floor and use strand on it to basically hold them together so they don't fall off......................
Also throwing a blood grenade and shooting through the smoke turns your bullets to blood bullets greatly increasing damage against BTs.
I love this game
If you didn't like Death Stranding 1 you won't like Death Stranding 2. He doubles down on everything about the first game.As someone who has been there day one for Kojima games for over 20 years… feels weird that I just have little interest in this game. Is my lack of interest unfounded, or is this game amazing and I'm just not seeing it in the marketing?
I didn't...hate it... I just wasn't craving more of it. I didn't hate the narrative, but also didn't care for it much. It just didn't leave much of an impression on me. Also...I thought the ending of the first game implied that the timefall ended, so I was always confused why this game was existing.If you didn't like Death Stranding 1 you won't like Death Stranding 2. He doubles down on everything about the first game.

10 hours in on chapter 3 and it still feels like that. I think it'll slow then soon as a lot more optional content becomes available.5 hours in and it feels like a speedrun of death stranding 1 with a lot of the fat trimmed. Exactly what I wanted so far, even storywise.
The game is weird in the sense that it is fucking boring but you keep on playing it.
In DS2, you can even dispose off the bodies in tar pits. So no need to travel all the way to cremation grounds.I read its still possible. You can make your weapons lethal and you apparently have to dispose of bodies the same way.
But to be fair, the voidout thing was a gimmick in 1. You would get alerted by Deadman all the time if bodies were about to go bad, but once a voidout triggered you'd just reload your save with the bodies gone. They would respawn much slower, but the base would be dry of resources. It had pros and cons. I believe bringing a body to a base would cost likes.
DS1.This is Kojima's best game since _______ ?
Really depressing that this is what Kojima does now
So it's funny...I ended up seeing some of the intro text for the second game. It basically recaps the plot of the first game. I have not played the first game. I do not like Kojima at all. I can't stand him. But now that I've seen what the plot setup is for the BT's, I have to say that the entire concept of the plot intrigues the hell out of me. I like it. I feel like I could play the second game since I know what is happening overall, but I also feel like I should give the first game a play anyway, to see the story unfold.
If you don't like Kojima and can't stand him, does this also apply to his games? Because I feel like Death Stranding 1 & 2 are as Kojima as you can get...
I'd say if it intrigues you and you don't get bored easily or find some usefulness or even pleasure in being bored and with yourself and your thoughts, go for it.
If you like over the top nonsense sprinkled with some deep themes mixed with silliness, it's all there. If you are one who thinks Kojima and his stories/games are pretentious, get the hell away from DS2![]()
I will say the story recaps for this that are under say 1-2 hours will miss 80% of the story.Yes that is indeed the problem lol. I find Kojima extremely pretentious, and he is a self-absorbed egomaniac and it drives me batshit crazy. Yet I am all for delivery simulator gameplay, and now that I have some details about the BT's...I want to check it out lol. I've heard about the feature length cutscene in part one, and it makes me want to puke but...I am just too intrigued now! I am willing to overcome my own dislike of Kojima and his usual work in order to try something out of my comfort zone. That's being open minded, and growing personally and all that good stuff, right? ;D

Sorry bro. That sucks.Got laid off last week (tech industry is rough now). Wanted to grab this, but may need to hold off.
Making amazing games? Yeah pretty depressing in the age of AAA slopReally depressing that this is what Kojima does now
Didnt like the first one, loving the second one so far, much much better and improved flowIf you didn't like Death Stranding 1 you won't like Death Stranding 2. He doubles down on everything about the first game.
Very good. I have a Dolby Atmos setup and the sound stage is constant and alive. Wind whistles around through the speakers and controller speaker. Rain lashes down all around you and also from the controller speaker. You can feel the patter of the rain through the haptics, the rumble of thunder crackles in the distance with deep bass. It's quite an assault on the senses at times and I love it.Home theater sound system bros, any comments on the mix? Good Atmos effects?
Just play ff9 and you played all the good ones.I haven't played an FF game since FF8 somehow lol
Maybe he just has more than 100 lines in the whole gameIs this due to Reedus's acting or because of the improved animations and facial capture?
