I don't get it. Why is everyone making fun of Death Stranding? I thought the trailer looked great

>metal gear is like, sooooo complicated and CRAZY!
Kojima is a hack and Fukushima was the only reason mgs was ever good

yep

>I thought the trailer looked great
Kojima's audience right here.

t. contrarian that shits on everything
It was as hype as the MGSV trailers.

It's because the npc's hear Kojima's name and immediately turn into DSP and say how confusing it is and how overrated he is

Lmao, imagine having this guy’s brain and breathing.
Probably in a wheelchair for running red lights believing they’d be green cause he said so.

>It has become a meme to say that no one knows what this game is about
Explain what the game is about in a way that makes sense using clues from the "gameplay" and not just parroting Kojima's broken English.

It's easy to say "ohh it's so obvious the game is about _______" but explaining how the fuck _______ makes sense is a different story.

>each trailer reveals more and more about the game without flat-out telling you everything
XD WUT DA FUDGE IS GOING ON LOL I'M SO CONFUSED MY BRAIN IS LE BROKEN HEHE

>It was as hype as the MGSV trailers.
Too bad there was an actual game being advertised in those trailers and it sucked major Kojima cock. Do you understand how NPC you have to be to praise a fucking trailer, a glorified commercial?

The gameplay itself is still a mystery

why doesnt he just make movies? I dont understand

Then summarize it all if you're so

A lot of people liked the trailer.

Game Journos didn't because Kojima isn't giving them anything to work with. A lot of them want some big sneak peek, gameplay, story, or some kind of bone being thrown at them.

So a lot of them are saying "lol look how everyone is reacting!"

What looked great to you?

People don't like things that are different.

Oh dear, Candle jack got to

Have they shown actual gameplay beyond the 5 seconds of shooting? So far all I've seen is walking and running in environments that make even MGSV's open world look rich and engaging (it wasn't) I have zero hype for this game.

The movement looks very BoTW-ish with a focus on traversal, that one bit with the guys chasing you while another fires a shock arrow is straight from zora road. There are stealth elements, as well as resource management. There are shooter sections. That's all pretty standard gameplay.

>only combat is gameplay
It's a walking simulator, move along.

fuck off with your retarded candlefuck meme

not even him but I've always thought Kojima was a hack. MGSV didn't help his case and the trailers for his newest movie game basically confirm my suspicions.

>It was as hype as the MGSV trailers.
Lmao, fuck no it wasn't this shit was tame and boring in comparison to sins of the father. Maybe if you mean the trailer from last year at E3, but this one? Absolutely fucking not.

Daily reminder that story heavy games are never good. You're supposed to play games for GAMEPLAY, nothing else. I must implore Kojima to stop ruining the medium with his pretentious trash like the MGS series.

the trailer was good, but nothing has reached mgsv trailers level of good

Go play Tetris you geriatric fuck

Remember the trailers for MGSV? Remember that scene with the child soldiers? Remember when we all thought we were gonna see an amazing story that delved into controversial and taboo themes? Remember when they scrapped that scene and replaced it with something you see for 2 seconds far in the distance? Remember when we we going to slowly watch Big Boss descend into madness and become a "demon"? Remember when that was scrapped as well? Why the fuck should I pay attention to Kojima's trailers?

I've been playing religiously MGS since 1 and I don't know what the fuck they're about.

the way the babies are referred to I assume theyre like some kind of dimensional beings that create artificial connection to whatever the extradimensional realm those black goo things are seeping from. but its easier to ask omg why babies xd so random.

Its because the babies are unborn, they still have umblical cords, so they have connection to the world of dead.

>trailer plainly lays out the basic premise of the game which is just travelling around america delivering shit to reconnect its cities after some apocalyptic event

>DUDE WHAT DO YOU EVEN DO IN THIS GAME LMAO KOJIMA'S SO FUCKING CRAZY

Yeah, Mads seem to be a scientist and emotionally attached to them so I think it going to be some sort of "experiment gone wrong"

Are normalfags this fucking retarded? The plot is literally spelled out at this point

Because it's commercially viable. The video game industry is trying to expand its grip on non-players in order to increase its profit margin against a generation that seeks video games as a cultural monument that defines their identities in 21st century society.

But how do you do that? You have to generate empathy with your objective so that it gets closer and you can capture it. So, the meme "I don't understand anything" is something that has an economic value, because it's the reaction that people who don't play, but get the information, feel.

Basically DS generates noise for people, but instead of seeing the theoretical novelty it represents, something really new, people in control of the media (Youtubers and press) look for the easy route that captures more customers. Whenever you see a rare social phenomenon, always look for who can potentially make money on the positive or negative side of that phenomenon.

Is it controversial? Where can money flow?

Not him but nigger, it's literally just MGSV with some monsters mixed in

Are you retarded? The gameplay bits were standard mgs fair with taversal flavor.

Yea Forums has no taste of cinema.

In theory Death Stranding will actually be a finished game, whereas Konami didn't even let Kojima complete the third (or really finish the second) act. On top of that they had to convert a shit-ton of cutscenes they couldn't animate into audio tapes, so you rarely got a break from doing the same 2-3 mission types.

Go do this world a favor and pull the trigger now. You were planning on doing it soon anyways.

Even Super Mario has a better plot than every Kojima game in existence, which amounts to "WAR BAD, TECHNOLOGY BAD, AMERICA BAD". At least Mario keeps his plot simple.

The problem is that it's Kojima. So it comes off as really deep, but it's just going to all be explained by something a six year old could have made up.

false

That it appears to be MGSV-flavored FedEx simulator with ladders and weird babies in goo bottles based on what little we've seen in that trailer.
Is it Eurotruck simulator without the truck? Is it MGS with package delivery? What role will the smoke nazis that suck you into the earth play? What is supposed to be the core gameplay (i.e. what most of my gameplay hours will be spent on)?

>Continue with your absurd contrarian opinions.
Tell me what's absurd about it. Mario's story ties perfectly into the gameplay. It's also far better paced. At no point do I need to be forced into a mandatory 20 minute hallway to "take a break" inbetween boss fights or long platforming segments. Tell me, why can't MGS accomplish that? Why do I have to be held at gun point and told to stop playing the game after a certain amount of time?

>Do you even know what a bullshot is?
You might actually be a schizo

I hope hes learned his lesson and doesn't explain too much. MGS was supposed to be over at 2. Kojima clearly never intended to explain how the supernatural abilities worked because he never wanted to make MGS4 in the first place. MGS5 was entirely his fault and I'll never understand how he thought that was a good idea, but maybe hes learned from how poorly that games story was received.

Thats because it chooeses to practically have no story. A game thats story ties perfectly into its gameplay would be something like Pathologic, or Ace Attorney for a more popular example. Those games actually have gameplay that tie in really well with their narrative.

Whoa nice

exactly what i was thinking

I am still kinda sad that the Luden isn't a thing in Death Stranding, those things look cool.

What the hell makes you thing it isnt? Die-hardman has LUDEN written on his mask. You go to a fucking moon and use the ludens suit.

The reason for how he moves would be the narrative, not the gameplay. What you're saying is something like "Mario's gameplay is peach getting kidnapped."

This game honestly looks like MGS flavored delivery open world game. My first impression of Death Stranding is not good. I don't care if I have a vehicle or have to walk, it looks boring.

The story, what we have seen of it, makes no sense. I assume Sam is Snake and works with people he thought were on his side, but really, he's working with the enemy. He finds this out, they find out that he knows, he is a target.

Nothing confusing about the game other than why have we been shown multiple trailer over years and this game still looks like a snoozefest.

Looks like everyone who didn't like the trailer was game journalist tier. Don't say I didn't tell you.

i dont think the moon part is true, it might just be a random dialog to throw people off.

also, about ludens, if you mean the Shinkawa poster featuring it, i also doubt it, this is kojima we are talking about, he wouldnt outright put such twist in the open like that.

>What you're saying is something like "Mario's gameplay is peach getting kidnapped."

Connection is not an inherently good or bad thing. Just like "bonds" can refer to friendships or literal fucking chains.

The blessed are those capable of telling good from bad and capable of both joining and severance.

Sorta like an umblical cord, eh Kojima?

That explains why game journalists are the way they are today. Or the western game industry in general actually.

He was supposed to leave at 2, but it was never supposed to be over.

are you pretending to be retarded?

to be fair, this site was the reason kojima got the internet hivemind love
kojima isn't a hack, but who would have thought that konami's early limitations would've boosted his creativity more than the freedom he got after achieving that much recognition
Maybe we all need him to go back and work with a tight budget

sam porter bridges was married to the president's daughter, now has to deliver a package to somewhere to "make america whole again", and cliff wants the baby, and the homo demons want to stop sam from delivering that package.
oh and if you die, you get taken to the past to fight your way back to the present.

>Man don't you just hate that SHITTY overworld in Super Mario World? I just HATE wasting 20 minutes going to the next level, why can't I just start the next level immediately. Why are they forcing me to look at this SHITTY world map?
But you don't spend 20 minutes going to the next level. It takes a maximum of 3 seconds. And the only reason it even exists is to allow you agency in the path you choose. It's directly tied to gameplay. Walking up a ladder for 3 minutes has no purpose other than to be pretentious story trash, especially with the stupid cringeworthy music they put in there for MUH FEELS.

So once again you have failed to put up a proper analogy.

Ahem tpbp

Of course they shouldn't because games are SHIT at telling a story. Gameplay and pacing are pretty much polar opposites, and if you don't understand why pacing is important then you're an even bigger retard than he is.
"Evolve beyond that" like what does that even mean?

Only low IQ people say shit like "pretentious" specially with a game with silly stuff like this one.

Game journalists usually eat that shit up though. Why is Death Stranding any different?

remember when Yea Forums loved kojima and made him a collective birthday card and he mistook it as being from just australia?

Welcome to reality. Its always been like this

I'm just glad Kojima's going for themes of 'reconnecting a fractured society' and whatnot while the rest of the industry panders to the vampire council.

What was great about the trailer? I skipped the nonsensical movie scenes because they were boring and wanted to see the gameplay bits and they looked bland and clunky.

Most people are NPC’s anyways. The fact that people saw it as a meme was sad.

>vampire council
Who? What?

>this site was the reason kojima got the internet hivemind love
you are overstimating Yea Forums influence
the love for kojima is due to MGS1-2-3 being really good games, from there the love for him snowballed into cult of personality
but regardless of him being overrated, he's still a good videogame director

I don't know why this angers me.

>shut the fuck up about pancakes

who cares what the fuck someone would say to a real person? most people here aren't complete pieces of shit irl so they use this as an outlet to be one? fucking stupid schizo nigger arguments

Except that tells you nothing about the actual gameplay. Do Dragon's Lair and Super Mario Bros. have the same gameplay, then?

Point still stands

neither you do, or ANYONE does.

the trailer really doesnt explain anything, its not bad, not at all, its simply clearly vague on purpose.

so obviously headcanons are to be expected, not to mention that, for all we know, we might get KOJIMA'D with a bait&switch plot that has absolutely nothing to do with what the trailers showed so far.

>you are overstimating Yea Forums influence
not really, Yea Forums's impact on the internet culture is immeasurable, specially in shaping up the web2.0
MGS was not just a Yea Forums thing, from the revolver ocelot demotivational on Yea Forums to the multiple con cosplay threads on /cgl/, it pretty much was all over the site

Finally almost time for my PS4 to be more than a bloodborne and Persona 5 machine

First it was:
>lol you fuckers are just too low IQ to get Kojima's genius. He doesn't have to spell it out for you. Trailers shouldn't show everything!
But now more and more are calling it nonsense, the line has changed to:
>lol you fuckers are so stupid. He spells it out for you! The trailer shows you everything!

This type of response is what everyone calls the classic contrarian, but really its just the same sheepish mentality. You are the epitome of what we are all criticizing

I mostly agree but I had not heard anything about the game before or its death mechanic so the sudden WW2 scene did catch me surprise and definitely compelled me to get online and see what that was about.

and yet it's not the reason people like kojima, his most loved games even predate Yea Forums

>everything goes to shit under a female President
>you're saving things as a white fucking male
The Jew fears the Samurai.

I hate this place

>looked
Yeah, literally, because it doesn't look like a fucking game, just a bir empty open world with 3 hours of cutscenes. How is that not wrong?

Yes, the games. Kojima's cult of personality did start here, tho.

The trailer's got the themes and broad strokes, main stars and shit. The finer points aren't there but you can get a good enough idea of what the game is about

None of that is conveyed through the gameplay though. For a game's narrative to be perfectly in tune with its gameplay you should be thinking about the narrative as you are playing. With Mario you just jump on blocks and go bing bing wahoo. You're not thinking about saving the princess as you are playing the game. In Pathologic you play as a doctor in a town plagued with disease. You're the towns only doctor and as such you are really fucking busy and under a lot of stress. You are constantly running around everywhere trying to keep important people from getting infected by giving them medicine, you are also constantly starving or sleep deprived and sometimes in order to survive you have to do bad things like rob innocent people or even murder them. Mario's story could be about literally anything and it wouldn't change how the game actually plays.

because uneven fights, especially against people minding their own business, are detestable

It's not that hard. The only thing that is vague is what Mad's role is, but that will probably be explored heavily in game.

It looks like shit. It's just a bunch of games thrown together with sim in the middle. Throw in a story that is 2deep4u throw in some mediocre actors and you get this Hollywood walking sim bs

you're a fucking retard
you go from place to place delivering important items and there's an evil militia of terrorists and also ghosts to worry about
the protagonist just wants to do that but will be forced into some larger goal of restarting civilization after the ghost apocalypse that happened, the babies are genetically engineered things that provide benefits like actually being able to spot the ghosts

>it's not that hard
Nobody's claiming it's hard to decipher, because there literally isn't anything there to decipher. The trailer is a tech demo at best.

>The Boss and the Snek

My hype is remaining low after MGSV. Ill be waiting for everyone to already play the game and tell me is the second coming before I invest in it.

Last word on the book looks like Earth and there is references to the Moon in other material related to the game.

Because rehashing jokes is easier than being critical.

>Why is everyone making fun of Death Stranding?
Certain groups are scared that the WW1 aesthetic will highlight some of the problems with remaining fixated on WW2

Reminder that the cult of kojima is worse then any smashfag. Probably smell worse, too.

its going to be mgsv tier "open world"

I hate open world games so much. So so much.

when the game comes out and there's a dozen bases of "homodemens" where you can stealth kill 20 dudes and then get something out of it and slightly unique boss fights with an optional gimmick, all you retards overthinking this shit will be as insufferable as the "it makes no sense!" brainlets

Yeah thats why im waiting for all you nerds to play it first and when that happens I can feel smug and do something else that isnt video games.

Homo demens are the Homo Ludens. Mads is literally a Luden that went or taken to the other side which are BT’s. Higgs follows suite

Yeah, have fun being one of the three or four contrarian autist shitters in the general threads where everyone else is having decent fun with the 7.5/10 game this will end up being

Your lesbian parents don’t look like fun but they get excited when I slam their genitals between my cheeks

>7.5
Keep telling yourself that.

It's a good sign. If mass audience can understand and like something than its probably garbage.

This game will sell really well amongst normies and casuals but will have a less than 25% completion rate.

Meme culture was always retarded

By weird I mean awkward, it just doesn't rub me the right way. Am I auts? Can't put my finger on it

Anybody have any 1440p wallpapers for death stranding? Preferably the one with all of the character concept art with the mgs2 style blue rectangles behind it.

no but you are?

This, people are fucking retarded and anyone who paid even a small bit of attention to MGS2 or Eva will see that the general theme is the same and kojima is a subtle as a horny hooker in a church when it comes to symbolism and wordplay you gotta be mentally slow to not understand this shit, I legit showed the newest trailer to my 15 years old brother and even he got the gist of the general post apocalyptic plot

you underestimate the average person's ability to be completely distracted by a vampire or bees
they then focus more on their mild inability to understand than putting forth the slight effort it would take to understand

I think people are just all trailer'd out at this point. It gets old after a while, especially when each new trailer offers very little information.

What inevitably happens when you have years of epic trailers that reveal nothing is people start to fill in the blanks with their own original ideas. Then the game comes out and it never comes close to being as interesting or fun as people thought it could be.

The game is about post-apoc America where the larger part of population died due to manifestation of supernatural beings known as PTs, who are connected to the world of dead. The cities that are left are disarray and the president tasks you and your Bridges organization with restoring communications/links with America's cities, something Amelie (the mysterious woman) tried to. You spend the game traversing wild terrain, fighting off terrorist cell known as Homos who want to kill what's left of civilization, and hiding from BTs. If you're caught by BTs (optional and probably unavoidable during some story moments) you're transported to the world of dead that will manifest in various war settings - WW1, Vietnam, probably Iraq, too, where you'll confront the ghost of Amelie and ghost of Mads, who was once a key scientist behind bridge babies and possibly related to Sam.

How people are uncapable to connect the dots is beyond me. I believe it's as says, just because I don't want to believe people are that stupid.

this, hamming about how crazy and confusing the plot must be is just normie flocking behavior. we've known pretty much everything we've needed to since the last trailer. post-apocalyptic scifi horror stealth-action game very much in the vein of MGSV. no traditional 'game over', instead on death you are transported to a hell world of perpetual war and have to fight your way back. babies are tech for seeing the ghosts. ostensibly you are part of an organization trying to reunite the USA (now 'UCA' because post-apocalyptic city-states), but actually with a barely concealed transhumanist agenda (and now with this trailer we have learned there is at least one competing transhumanist agenda/species, Ludens vs Demens).

it's just a scifi story.
