good god I am so hyped for this game. The story looks so good, the music is on point (hello woodkid?), and I’m loving the new environments we’re being shown! Ironically, the action is the part I’m least interested in since that was my least favourite part of the first game, so I’m worried that they showed so much of it, but hopefully they’ve improved it between games.
It’s kinda funny seeing that sandstorm after Monster Hunter Wilds just released. Where’s my Rey Dau BT? (wait a Monster Hunter - Death Stranding crossover would be peak)
I have finally figured out why the modern MK animations are so horrifically ass. They are trying to replicate the old pseudo-FMV of the original games but with high fidelity models. So everything looks incredibly stiff the moment an attack animation ends because it is just skipping/fast forwarding frames. So you have all the floatiness of a Tekken while somehow being even more stiff than MK2 was.
Still. T-1000’s moves look fine? I haven’t kept up with the series since I noped out on 11 (?) because of the Sandy Hook truther terf but is Bobby’s moveset actually built around grandma? Or is she his assist and just front and center for some reason? And I will admit that I found the fatality to be emblematic of all the problems I have had with modern MK where it is just gory and boring? Like, it is very much a reference to the movies but… you have a liquid metal monstrocity. Give us some body horror amped up to 11 so it is funny as hell.
Also, while I am whinging: I assume that wasn’t ACTUALLY Bobby Patrick because they didn’t say it was. But it really sounds like the VA was emulating modern “I have smoked three packs a day for 50 years” Bobby and not 90s B Pat.
They replaced Sonia Blade’s VO with ronda rousey because they apparently wanted incredibly wooden delivery of every single line. rousey is a terf who was also a sandy hook truther up until she got clowned on so hard by the reddit wrestling community (the same one who keep insisting that nobody could possibly have known about what vince mcmahon was doing one door over from their office…) that she insisted she was just asking questions and had changed her mind.
Someone like tom cruise or donnie yen is deeply problematic but at least is entertaining. rousey is a shitbag who makes everything she has ever been in less enjoyable.
I’ve been playing Nioh 2 and got about 80% done when I couldn’t do the repetitive missions anymore. I know it’s supposed to be like Diablo where you’re supposed to do the same missions over again in harder modes to farm, but I don’t really enjoy that kind of thing. Hopefully this one’s not like that.
I was really enjoying Nioh 2 until I got to a level that was just a boss rush of a bunch of old bosses I had already beaten. No thanks. Never picked it back up.
Love Kojima. Will play anything he makes even for a little because of his legacy.
I am really trying to get into games blind, especially a Kojima experience, but can someone tell me if this is looking like a ‘true’ Death Stranding 2, as in, the same overall game play loop of delivering packages and finding human connection in the world?
I think it does and also it doesn’t. It showed off lots of the courier elements and some new gadgets but the whole game feels like its had its world building turned up to 11 :)
I loved Death Stranding, but anyone else feel like that guy putting on the bandana might have been Kojima making a little dig at David Hayter?
The character design looks very reminiscent of the MGS Delta materials we’ve seen, and Hayter has been more open lately about how miffed he was when Kojima dumped him for Kiefer in MGS V. That coupled with how much promo work Hayter has been doing for Delta makes me think it wouldn’t be too surprising if Kojima was annoyed with him.
Lots of people complain when the game is called a walking simulator, but I got very excited seeing all the different environments we’ll be able to traverse. Hoping to have a little bit of Lockne / Mama somehow. The mechas were something curious, then they doubled down at the end.
I see the specific hate this game is getting is directed towards it not being enough of an RPG… even though it’s supposed to be an action RPG. Meaning light on rpg, focused on action. So it’s it people wishing this game was something is not?
Also, looks like someone is abusing sponsor skip on this video.
I was excited, but it's a pass from me. No reputation, no freedom on whom to fight, little ability to customize my character from what I've seen... no thanks.
