Kojima definitely plays with an Emperor's Children army.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Day 1! But like…….. why TF is he walking around with clown makeup and a guitar?

He went from Goldust to Legion of Doom.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

That first game is one of the coolest, weirdest, futuristic sci fi fuckery experiences I've ever had full stop.

The parts where you first get the better trike, the truck, the exoskeleton, the bola gun…man. It was borderline “getting the mech in Xeno Chronicles X” game changing moments one after another.

It’s all about knowing where to stop and streamline the story for me. I do every single delivery all the way up to finishing the Heartman stuff. Then I mainline the rest. And it’s fucking amazing.

Anyone else reinstalling?

Decima

Got the plat on the base game and the director's cut, so idk if I'll be installing again. But I convinced my wife to play through it after she watched the trailer for part 2 today, so I'm definitely going to watch her playthrough.

 

[Atrus]

Lou died?

 

[Kusarigama]

I gotta play death stranding directors cut. The only kojima game I've not completed.

How'd you play policenauts?

 

[kunonabi]

Because Troy Baker

He's somehow even more insufferable than he was in the first one. Hopefully, he gets tossed aside early on for some other antagonist.

 

[Coconutt]

Kojima you son of a bitch you've done it again, day 1 purchase just hate that I'll need to wait til 2025.

 

[baphomet]

Couldn't possibly care less about the game, but hopefully Kojima can talk Errolson Hugh into making some more cool shit for it.

 

[RaduN]

Off its tit's! Amazing visuals and cinematography!

Go Kojima studios!

Absolutely nothing in the industry compares to Kojima's level of creativity when it comes to cinematography, nothing. (...and very very few in actual cinema)

 

[Rickyiez]

Where's the Shigaraki meme

 

[Maddoxswe]

Looks amazing, day f***ing 1

 

[Rickyiez]

This trailer actually got me interested in playing the first game just so I could understand what is going on.

The funny thing is , you still couldn't understand anything after that

 

[Days like these...]

Can this guy get any further up his own ass? Pass.

 

[MagnesD3]

Can this guy get any further up his own ass? Pass.

Yes he can and Im going to watch it happen.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Best graphics ever and that, too, in an open-world game!

 

[nashman]

Bat shit crazy and cool! I like it. Kinda got into the first one maybe 20 hrs in. If they can focus, just make it a bit more dare I say "gamey" (NOT GOING TO HAPPEN) I could love this series.

 

[Frwrd]

That was fucking bonkers. Easiest Day 1 purchase for me in a long time.

Just as I was telling myself that I wouldn’t pre-order another fucking game ever again! Kojima does it again!

 

[Esppiral]

Stellar graphics for sure, sadly the walking simulator nature of the Game bores me to death.

 

[Heart_Attack]

Amazing Trailer. Hyped as fuck. I feel Death Stranding got a bad rep from people.

 

[Frwrd]

That puppet is definitely Zac Efron

 

[Davevil]

from the title to the nonsense trailer.

 

[Frwrd]

Where can I get myself a CatBat?

Baby Trico

 

[Chittagong]

Finally, real fucking art. And not safe, paint by numbers, market researched horse shit. First game was one of my favorites of last gen.

Day one.

Kojima to all other developers:

You cookie cutter mother fuckers, you're just like the rest of these dudes safe moist as dudes.

 

[ToneyJ]

Probably the best graphics I’ve seen in a game. Lord Kojima. Meanwhile Konami’s Silent Hill looks like shit lol.

 

[Moses85]

Visually absolutely stunning but the first game bored me like hell.

 

[Kindela]

The first game was a bit too much for me. The slow gameplay was fine, but everything around it didn't click with me at all.

 

[Valedix]

That reveal was fucking nuts. Hideo Kojima is an absolute madman.

 

[Chittagong]

I gotta play death stranding directors cut. The only kojima game I've not completed.

This thread is probably a good place to ask, since I want to do the same. I played the original past Episode II, but eventually dropped it for a reason I don’t remember.

So could those who finished it and loved it give me an idea of what they enjoyed about it - and I missed?

 

[Moses85]

Why doesn’t Sony buy them already

Next gen starts when Kojima says so

Holy shit

2025 tho

What about he is not interested in selling his studio and want to stay independent?

 

[IDKFA]

That is the best looking console game I've seen so far. Absolutely stunning.

 

[NeverYouMind]

So, does the first game have any sort of coherent connection to this sequel? What is this connecting business and what is with the strings on the eavesdropper? Who is Lou?

 

[Bartski]

/r/ is on fire rn, this thing is getting picked apart all day

I always recommend playing Death Stranding at least a few hours into Chapter 3 (?) where the new map opens. Spend 3-4 hours in that map, doing jobs, completing missions, and rebuilding the map/road, etc.

If you don't enjoy the gameplay at that point, drop the game, because that's what most of the game is like. But I found in Chapter 3 / that second map, the game really opens up and becomes a lot of fun.

Strong connectio.
Don't spoil yourself, the game can be found dirt cheap now.

I am not playing a walking similator for dozens of hours to find out a few pieces of trivia.

Spending time discussing games you are not interested must be super productive.

I am interested in the ideas presented in this newly released footage, but I lack context. I thought someone could bring me up to speed in a few minutes, but I guess I am just going to have to do my own research.

 

[Danjin44]

To be fair this proper "walking simulator" since there is actual mechanic and challenge behind traversal instead just pushing the stick to walk like you do in games like Dear Esther.

[DonJimbo]

Looks cool one question should i play the first one before i get this ?

[draliko]

This is what I expect when someone says next gen, it's beyond wonderful... Can't wait for this, only problem is now I've got the urge to replay ds1

I'm 100% going to replay DS1. I might triple dip and get it on Steam. Lol.

 

[Lumpyoatmeal]

Looked very pretty, but it's the usual weird/cringe shit from kojima that's just weird for the sake of being weird.

Visually you knew they were going to kill it, they always do it; The talent is still there after all these years which is insane. As a gamer, this trailer did literally nothing for me though. It has the same issue that I had with MGSV, it's not hittin' like MGS, MGS2 (I missed out on MGS4, I think I was working on my gladiator title in WoW), those games got me excited to actually play it.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Was that our first look at ps5 pro?

 

[Barakov]

What a trailer. I had my issues with DS1 but this trailer sucked me back in. I'm in there day 1.

 

[Hohenheim]

Looks cool, but I was hoping the gameplay loop would be somewhat different this time around. Something else than delivering stuff - even though I loved the forst game. Just don't feel the need for another round of that gameplay loop.
But hey, who knows. Maybe it will be very different, even though the trailer felt like more of the same.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Can you make one of the wild guitar solo gun / sword? That scene melted my face!!

Sure, here you go!

 

[LostDonkey]

Most anticipated game ever for me this.

He's done it again.
