He's probably just mad that Hayter's beautiful voice turned 'Metal Gear?!' into a franchise-defining meme.

Hayter did a good job with all the weird translated text and being able to deliver the end of every other characters sentence back to them as a question or an affirmation that progressed their dialogue.

I'm really looking forward to just exploring. Getting around on a cool bike with cool tools as extremely weird poo poo unfolds sounds fun to me. Hopefully this game's world has Kojima lovely touches in high density as a counter to MGSV which controlled dreamily but didn't have much to discover outside the main plot areas.

Tbh I can’t think of a single game I knew how it plays until it came out and I played it. I mean what do you expect to know this far out?

I feel like we've got more than enough from a few gameplay and story trailers. This isn't super opaque like The Phantom Pain's first trailer (which owned so hard).

It's pretty clear that the game is:

- set in some post-cataclysmic dystopian United States (ghosts?)
- is a 3rd person open world stealth game where killing is discouraged
- it's full of kojima brand bullshit
- has a focus on world traversal using methods that aren't the usual hold up to climb. Will this be annoying? No one knows. Looks like it will be a subjective call for the player.
- you will need to collect and deliver items for reasons
- Die-Hardman

Sounds awesome.

Holy gently caress what the poo poo are ya'll talking about. I guess I should be glad I opted for an Xbox in 2001 and missed out on everything past MGS 1.

If you are in the Death Stranding thread because you are interested in Death Stranding, you've done yourself an enormous disservice missing out on MGS2 forward.

I'd love to pickup where I left off 20 years ago if the PS5 ends up having PS2/PS3 compatibility. I've heard great things but the story reminds me of one of those long-running comic books that's gone in so many different directions over the years any discussion inevitably sounds like utter madness.

It absolutely has and it's a joy if you're on the ride. My PS3 broke down and I bought a replacement for a hundred bucks a couple of years ago and all I wanted it for was to play the MGS HD release once a year.

I mean mgsv was good gameplay wise but easily the weakest plot in the series and totally failed to live up to the hype and I KNOW much of that was konami's fault but I can't help feeling a little wary about DS

I actually like the plot end to end, it just falls to poo poo because of the game's structure and missing the final mission. Big Boss's plan laid out is cool and it would have been a lot more fun in a MGS3 kind of game with major installations or scenarios tied together with what is now de jour Dark Souls interconnected areas and branching pathways of open space. It's a real shame because I read that Kojima envisioned you sneaking through a Russian armoured column in the open world and it just never eventuated for many reasons.

From what I’m hearing death stranding has way more cutscenes but the general structure and mission design is MGSV like

Which is fine if it's finished and the structure of the narrative fits episodic missions, which it sounds like it will given the mechanics and the story.

I’ve been browsing the reset era spoiler thread. Just be careful because there are full on story spoilers along with some gameplay impressions.

Anyways there is already hilarious back tracking and rationalizations going on to explain the sub 90 meta critic that’s incoming. People saying things like people need to have realistic expectations that it’s just a delivery game. That Kojima should not have shown the TGS footage as it spoiled too much of the game. Pretty hilarious stuff when you consider everyone was expecting game changing revolutionary stuff a few months back.

It's a stealth action game.

Sounds to me like people think reading about the game is same as actually playing it.

I want to know what these predicted Sekiro's metacritic score as because it has no Souls RPG or online features and therefore it must be bad because it's clearly a lesser game.

I bought dark souls remaster in the sale and this game is the same boring dogshit I played when it came out. Sekiro 2 when

I’ve managed to not watch much of the stuff beyond the Guillermo del toro trailer other than knowing you have ladders and maybe some delivery stuff. I’m getting this game either way. Should I watch the launch trailer or is it really spoilery?

Also in that early trailer it had a lot of WW1 imagery that I don’t think has popped back up since (well I haven’t seen it in the few screens here and there I’ve seen, maybe there is heaps of it!) is this aesthetic still in the game?

I watched it twice and I don't know if I've been spoiled or not. I have no idea what this loving game is really about.
