Ordered it for 67€ , will have it on Wednesday/Thursday, this game is an event, games like this aren't a dime a dozen and only come out once in a blue moon ffs, this is why I can't take the "you all like smelling Kojima's farts" passive aggressive bullshit comments...

Yesterday, i rewatched the latest trailer on my 55'' C2 and my GF happened to pass by, she stayed watching the whole 10 G'damn minutes that it lasts with her jaw dropped to the floor, her brain couldn't process the fact that this is an actual GAME (she's a movie buff), you can talk shit all you want and be perpetually miserable by venting non-stop on online forums but, games like this are rare, from the framing, the animations, the general GFX quality, the mo-cap and voice acting, the batshit insane art direction with a MG Rex's head attached to a gigantic BT body with NWR piloting the fucking thing, having a marionette that speaks, MGS nods up the whazoo etc etc...people don't get it but THIS is how far we've come with this medium and only a few fuhcKas like Kojima Productions (and R* and Naughty Dog) can get to this level.

Don't like it ? that's perfectly fine, shitposting for the sake of shitposting isn't helping anyone though and as for Kojima, shit, I've been gaming since the Spectrum 48K days and the man has never let me down, let alone release a "bad" product.

He triggers people, that's basically it.
He has a certain style, not only as a creator, but as a human. The word I read most about him from 'haters' is he is 'pretentious'. I don't get where there are coming from, I don't ever read an explanation from people that write this or stuff like 'he smells his own farts'. So what if he does. So what if he is arrogant (I don't see it this way). His creations are up there with the best of them and some people just can't get to grips with it. The reason behind why he triggers people might be different from person to person. But you can read it in the thread from the people who played the first one. There are people like me who have it in their top 10 and then there are people who think it's one of the worst and most boring games ever made
Personally, I think that's a good sign...and right where Kojima himself wants it to be.

67euros? Probably the same place on ebay where i bought mine

 

[Dzab]

I haven't bought a console game since Astro Bot, I really wanna get DS2 but the concept of £65 is still crazy to me. Did the first DS drop in price after a short while? I'm not sure I can wait lol

Physical copies, if you're into that kind of thing, tend to come down in price after some months (unless we're talking about Nintendo, in which case, never). As for digital copies, the next major PSN sale will be probably around Black Friday/Holiday sales, which are quite far off.

Ah my bad, I was talking about physical. I usually only go physical. I'll keep an eye out

Yep
Funny thing, it's 1€ cheaper on their online shop (which has good reviews) and on the Feltrinelli shop it was actually 64.5€ (always sold by prezzobomba), thing is, the delivery date was for...August 4 to August 8, LMAO, now maybe it's a placeholder date but I just didn't want to risk it...

We eating good soon bro

I'm eating allright, i'm not a huge fan of the first game like you

I live in sicily so i have no trust in having the game for day one, no matter what they say on ebay...

 

[saintjules]

Need to finish the first game...

 

[TheRedRiders]

Any of you guys want to form strand connections with me? I'm sure this will be a feature in the second game as well (fingers crossed). If so then DM me!

I've booked a few days off work so I can dive deep into the game!

 

[near]

I just crumbled against my own will and ordered the limited edition controller, the collector's edition and a physical copy. It was only meant to be just the physical copy.

[Luipadre]

17 min... where is the OT

 

[Scary_Larry]

Unsure if I should standard or deluxe for this one. No idea what the battle skeletons really are.

 

[Alpha Male]

Enjoying an NBA Championship today

Going to char grill some filets and take some medical grade live resin nano edibles then watch Wrath of Khan and start this game afterwards.

Just wanted everyone to know what I'm doing to prepare myself before jumping into this masterpiece.

 

[TheRedRiders]

I'm confused, what's the countdown for? Game doesn't come out for another 3 days right?

Deluxe and Collector's Edition offer 48 hour early access.

Wait if I'm in ET timezone do I have to wait another 6 hours or is this live globally right now?

 

[yogaflame]

I'll have my copy this June 26. My fellow Gaf with early access, please be careful with spoilers. Enjoy.

 

[Clear]

I assume its probably tied to 24 June coming around in the time-zone of the account, or the store from where it was bought.

 

[Hideous Snake]

6 more hours!

 

[Luipadre]

Played almost 2 hours, ps progress says 2% lol. We are so fucking back. Game already feels so addicting and the QoL stuff is insanely good.

 

[Hideous Snake]

I don't know why killing is encouraged in trailers. We all know what happens when you kill humans and leave them unattended..

How are you playing it now?

 

[tTHANOSs]

I'm sure it's all non-lethal ?

 

[Hideous Snake]

I'm sure it's all non-lethal ?

I think I've seen a couple of lethal weapons but I might be mistaken since I'm skimming most of the time

 

[tTHANOSs]

I think I've seen a couple of lethal weapons but I might be mistaken since I'm skimming most of the time

I mean yeah. There was a few in ds1 and you would have to dispose of the bodies. Otherwise it would trigger a voidout and game over. But I think there's a lot more nonlethal weapons too in ds2 to make combat more fun ??

 

[Kirkio]

Feels good to be back in this world, had a baby son when the first came out and now I also have a 1 year old daughter whilst playing the sequel.
Really resonates with me as a dad, shame it's 2 am and I have to be up for work in the morning. Just plotted my first route and will be back to complete my first delivery in the morning whilst pretending to work

 

[Hideous Snake]

Yes I know about that. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying in trailers it looks like killing is encouraged for some reason although we know what happens when you don't dispose the bodies. You don't "kill" with non-lethal weapons

 

[tTHANOSs]

Hmmmm. I guess i never got that from the trailers. Killing is more fun anyway. Those mules deserve it.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Hmmmm. I guess i never got that from the trailers. Killing is more fun anyway. Those mules deserve it.

I agree! But I have no time to dispose bodies every time so I go non-lethal

 

[Hideous Snake]

OT dropping in a bit. Final touches

 

[Gonzito]

OT dropping in a bit. Final touches

I am starting the game now

Enjoy papitos

 

[Arsic]

Uhhhh game is out where's the fucking OT?

It's fucking incredible so far. Clair 33 finally on notice. Can Kojima deliver the goods?

 

[DenchDeckard]

My copy should be here on Thursday. Cant wait.

Is it possible to do a big old neogaf social link?

 

[nowhat]

There was a few in ds1 and you would have to dispose of the bodies. Otherwise it would trigger a voidout and game over.

Uhh, no? Not always, at least. On my first run of DS1 I did trigger a voidout. That part of the map became a crater, but otherwise, "life goes on" such as it were.

Mod edit: OT is now up. Please move the discussion over there.
