I was all aboard the ruse cruise til I saw the combat shown in that trailer. What the fuck is that shit, Kojima? That hand to hand and the gunplay looked like the most generic Sony third person action game shit I ever saw. It looks like a mix of Batman Arkham combat and The Last of Us and Uncharted shit. Are you fucking kidding me? What's worse, is we've been over this Kojima. Metal Gear Rising was hands down the first and only Metal Gear game with incredible gameplay. Fun, fact paced, action packed, skillful, cuhrazy. And then you make this shit? No, no, fuck no, fuck this shit. You better get your ass on your cell, or on twitter, talk to Kamiya, and get Platinum games on the case to redo the combat. You can keep the boring walking sim and ladder shit, but the melee and gun shit needs to be fucking REDONE. The melee needs to be like Rising was, and the gunplay and general movement needs to be like Vanquish.
You mean "can't read" since you're illiterate, faggot
Grayson Taylor
the fighting so far looks like John Wick, which I'm not crazy about
Aiden Morgan
It seems pretty obvious that combat isn't intended to be a major factor in this overall experience. Judging by the theme, you personally aren't necessary supposed to kill people. Your expectations are blocking you from seeing the game for what it is and demanding what YOU want. It's not about you, It's about everyone
Caleb Russell
It's not a braindead hack n slash retard
Gavin Carter
The gameplay is meant to be terrible. He literally said he wants the opposite of most AAA games where you have Mario-like mobility.
Jonathan Flores
You are not the audience for this game. It has a much different focus than Revengeance or Vanquish. You may not like it, but that doesnt mean its bad.
Daniel Reyes
it's not people attacking you, mit's demens, so it should be ok to kill them. Plus this is a moot point anyway, you can make combat non lethal and still cuhrazy and fun.
Easton Cruz
low IQ joke
Ayden James
Who is the audience then? Old men sitting in their armchairs sipping cognac and wearing a monocle by a fireplace?
Isaac Reed
Has it been confirmed that the enemies in yellow are demons?
Jayden Ramirez
Yeah, exactly, such fine gentlemen as me.
Tyler Bailey
The gameplay does look trash but the wild shit would not fit this game. Just come along for the movie or skip it
Jordan Hernandez
Excuse me young man? My name is Maxwell Fairweather the Third, and I am looking forward to this "game". I am eager to see if Kojima can capture the essence of an intellectually stimulating movie in video game form. Tis of interest to me to see if he can turn what is a child's toy into something a man can enjoy.
And no, I do not drink cognac, I prefer whiskey myself, and wine imported from Belgium.
Jace Gray
I'm 24 and am looking forward to this myself. I'm all in for these kinds of games. There is no issue with games having a cinematic approach. Play all the other games that arent in the cinematic genre if you don't like it
Justin Hernandez
>but the wild shit would not fit this game. Just come along for the movie or skip it
That was said about Rising at first, and it is now seen as a masterpiece and the best playing Metal Gear game hands down. Remember what Kojima originally wanted it to be?
If Kojima had his way' we'd have gotten some boring pseudo realism slow "ninja" game with Raiden slowly running around cutting things realistically. Instead thanks to Platinum we got one of the best action games of all time.
Bentley James
>Kojima But MGS Rising was initially a project given to the newbies at the studio because Kojima said he didnt really want to touch MGS anymore and wanted the new people to make their own game. Then he watched them fail badly at making a good game and gave the project to Platinum. In fact Kojima was the one who recognized it was shit and managed to save the whole project.
Liam Russell
>The Last of Us and Uncharted shit That's exactly the people Kojima wants as an audience
Camden Scott
>literally fuck off faggot
Dylan Turner
But those people are retards.
How's that piss taste?
Juan Lopez
I bet he loves the taste, thats why he';s gulping it all down lol
Julian Brown
people buy games they think look fun or get positive reviews, copies get sold, game is a success to everyone but your turbo virgin ass.
I mean, the hand-to-hand is probably just MGS but with animations suited for the MC. The whole trailer looks like MGS. I guess that's like ND games except it's open-world, the stealth isn't shit, and there's a million gimmicks.
Noah Nguyen
It's very clear by you post that you really never played any Metal Gear Solid game, because Death Stranding's stealth, combat and shooting mechanics are looking very similar to The Phantom Pain, if you had played any Metal Gear not made by Platinum Games you would know this.
Josiah Taylor
It's about wacky [Spoiler] n a r r a t i v e [/spoiler]
[Spoiler] you spastics [/spoilers]
But I agree I saw the combat and the shimmer did fade quite a bit. I'm just going to assume he's holding back showing off everything until closer to release. Have some damn faith!
Microsoft mad because Kojima helping them by making MGSV available on their platform did fuck all for Microsoft kek. What a bunch of retards this Microsoft people is
Ryder Wood
Seriously? After all MGS games having terrible gameplay, you complain now about it?
This. Kojima gave Rising to their crew and they wanted to have Raiden slice through EVERYTHING. Think destructible environments because that's what was hot at the time with Battlefield and the Frostbite engine. It was too ambitious and his crew couldn't deliver so Kojima gave it to Platinum. If only they could managed to finish it.
Lucas Reyes
Is that an anime
Grayson Parker
those fucking idiots they shouldve just made a metal gear mechwarrior rampage game that let you demolish new york, shadow moses, etc.
Anthony Wilson
you people realize kojima said the game isn't about combat right?
you CAN fight, and I'm sure there is stuff to fight, but he said fighting isn't usually the right answer. This is a game about ropes more than sticks.
Jose Hernandez
Mads, the baby doll, and reedus all have a cross shaped scar on their abdominal section. What could it mean?
Liam White
This game dosn't look fun, so i'm just gonna get something else I guess. Hope you guy like it though.
Carter Ross
Something related to umblical cords and connections
Jack Collins
Kojima apologists are fucking delusional and using game journalist tier preaching. If the game has combat and it's bad then it's an objective flaw. If you're not meant to use combat then don't make it a part of the game, and if you are, don't make it shit.
We've seen 5 seconds of unarmed, encumbered Sam swinging at some guys. It looked as tight as V was mechanically. Those guys were only interested in the packages he was carrying by the way, they stop to pick them up when he gets hit. We know there are upgrades and one confirmed item is called a speed skeleton. By the late game we'll be in full Homo Ludens armor.
I feel the same. I'm buying it no matter what, but the combat/shooting look pretty weightless and bad. So my hype is diminished, BUT that will make it even easier for me to make it until launch day. DS won'tt be stuck in my mind 24/7Il. I just hope my doubts are erased when it's actually in my hands.
Ian Barnes
>Cinematic cutscene combat isn't bread dead but Platnium is kek, fuck off casual
Leo Martin
You guys parrot the word cinematic but you somehow don't even grasp the concept. The tiny glimpse of combat we saw looked like it had as much player control as V did.
Logan Martin
>As V did And that is the worst MGS by far.
Nicholas Hill
The combat in this game looks so fucking bad. After playing skill intensive games like DMC and Tekken I can't go back to this shit.
Hunter Ward
It's like MGS, if you get into combat in the first place you already fucked up.
Matthew Myers
If it was, it wasn't because of the traversal and combat mechanics. The game played great.
Mason Powell
I didn't read, but you have to be doing some elaborate shitposting
Ryder Rivera
Well we don't wear clothes on our faces and the skins pretty thing it get burned more often than the body
Nathan Bennett
Silent hill had good combat, you had a nice variety of weapons as well as the ability to strafe, which was a novelty for survival horror. At any rate, even if you find the combat clunky, the point is that it did its job and made you feel helpless in a horrifying situation. In DS the combat looks like generic arkham combat and generic third person shooter combat.
Gavin Hernandez
The biggest problem is that Kojimbo has shitload of money and pretty much free reign so it's not unreasonable to expect different systems to be outstanding. And he's not a literal who so i don't think it would be a problem to get some other people in on it. He could've collaborated with all kinds of studios/people to make sure that as much of the game as possible is at the very least very good. So far he only really seemed to deem actors important.
Austin Allen
"Bad on purpose" isn't an excuse. Making combat punishing to promote pacifist play is a good way to guide people to avoid combat, make it inconvenient and really dangerous, or consume resources that are scarce.
From what we saw, it just kinda happens, and it's not great. MGRR is the wrong game to want it to mimic though, that's a totally different genre.
Isaac Powell
Yes, Kojima's audience are retards.
Andrew Foster
Have sex.
Dominic Peterson
Why does Troy Baker once again sound like an expository dialogue machine? I hate his voice and all I hear is Ocelot.
Samuel Watson
I didnt believe the jokes about kojima turning it into a movie but it appears that's what it is.
You lose your amazon packages if you get hit so I imagine you’re supposed to avoid that, since you work as a delivery man.
Cooper Kelly
It makes you FEEL like Batman
Jaxson Turner
Kojima is a hack, more at 11.
Connor Morgan
Kojima is a hack, but these bait pictures are getting more and more pathetic. Discuss what you actually think or get out, you're an embarrassment, retard
Cameron Fisher
>Oh no Kojima's game is fucking shit No shit, they have always been shit. The story is fundamentally bad as well. I'm sure Kojima could make half decent things if he chose another medium to do it in. He is a horrible developer is followed by the same brand of delusional retards that buy into Games Workshop shit. Sorry you had to find out user but better late than never I guess.
Alexander Brooks
Completely agree, but stupid idiots will still parade Death Stranding like masterpiece for its cutscenes only. Its MGS4 situation all over again. I don't even want to read what kind of contrarian would try to defend shitty DS combat in this thread.
