Death Stranding 2

Long games are fine just depends on what they are. Some become slogs by the halfway point.

Kojima is great at keeping the game fresh and I'm hopeful this sequel will be worth it.

DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH - Game Premiere

Announcing the �� DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH – Game Premiere event!

Step inside the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, where Hideo Kojima will join host Geoff Keighley to celebrate the game’s upcoming launch with special guests and an exclusive live demonstration of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH.

I didn’t make it to the end, might catch up on this later.

Love the idea of being able to either approach with stealth, come in battling, or avoid all together and the music being different depending on which method you choose.

I skipped the game premiere. I am already sold on it. No need to see anymore!

Hideo Kojima should just make a live-action feature theatrical movie already. Death Stranding 1 was probably 60% cinematic story and 40% actual gameplay.

Until he learns the meaning of "Kill Your Darlings", I want Kojima and his ilk far away from movies.

While I agree with you regarding the cinematics, I never really felt short-changed on gameplay other than I would've liked a little more combat, which part 2 seems to fix. I was very engrossed in the story of the first game, so I didn't mind all the cutscenes. It just seems to come with the territory with Kojima games. You either embrace it or you simply won't like Kojima games. It's kind of like Elder Scrolls games and jank, LOL. You just come to expect that Bethesda RPG's are going to have some of that and embrace it, or you'll end up hating it.

He'll always be Daryl to me lol.

Looks like there's a lot of delivering going on on that video.

There is one in pre-production right now. Will be an A24 film. Hideo is a writer but not directing. The guy that directed 'Pig' and 'A Quiet Place: Day One' is directing.

That's good it's already getting started soon. I hope it gets made.
He needs to direct a live-action movie soon I hope. Good that he wrote it though.

Pig is fantastic. I wonder who they'll get to rewrite Kojima's script (Hollywood SOP).

10 hours is so far.

1 Major Flaw.

No changing any Audio settings EQ.
For example Music, Sound Effects, Dialogue can not be adjusted.

The Mix you are forced to hear is bad. Sound Effects & Music should be 20% lower if you care at all about the story.

Am on 1.03 version. Hopefully this gets addressed & it’s not Kojima’s way or the Highway.

[HipsterTrash]

Hype building.

I may be in the minority...but I loved the delivery aspect. Just chill, me and the terrain

[Zivouhr]

I don't mind the delivery too much, just the oily ooze that interrupts your deliveries one too many times per delivery. Then the rain degrading everything. Rapid aging. A unique concept and seems like it takes place in another dimension. Not quite reality.

You need to plan your route and equipment ahead of time. I think that is part of the fun of doing deliveries.

I respect that some people like the delivering but I hated it and why I needed to take 2 breaks to get through the game, and it was only the story and the promise of a payoff from those who finished that kept me going with it.

Yeah, I was not a fan of the gameplay loop at all. However, despite liking the premise, I was none too fond of the story either. That's why I left the first game unfinished, collecting dust in my media rack.
