There has been much made of the turbulent situation going on over at Konami concerning their focus on gaming and specifically their relationship with Hideo Kojima, famed developer of the Metal Gear Franchise. A franchise that has been one of the cornerstones of Konami (and arguably the only one that makes money here in the states).
Hideo Kojima has revealed a new feature in Death Stranding 2, promising a more accessible experience for newcomers to action games.
ehm okeeey.
i guess i get it, but shouldn't be a difficulty setting be the solution and not a skip feature?
Love the first game but the boss battles were crap, especially the Cliff ones. All Cliff encounters are exactly the same, only in different environments. Furthermore, you have to do the same thing 4 times! No different forms, no different patterns, nothing.
I mean that's a nice thought and all but if you are going to get the sequel to this I'm guessing you are going to be one of those fans who managed to do the boss battles in the original.
I don't think this is going to bring in new fans or ones who didn't like the first one in general.
I understand if it was a brand new story with new characters where you get a clean fresh slate to try and bring in everyone again but a straight up sequel...it has it's fans and I bet they managed to get through the first game no problem.
A weird idea for a sequel to have, since players need to beat the bosses of the first game, unless he plans on making the bosses more complicated this time around which I highly doubt. Honestly it's a horrible feature, for a game about the struggle of going around to deliver things, to let you skip fighting which is a part of the struggle.
Hideo Kojima has revealed that Kojima Productions’ PHYSINT will enter phase 2 of its development after Death Stranding 2: On the Beach & OD.

Kojima: At this age, I can’t help but think about how much longer I’ll be able to stay “creative.” I want to keep going for the rest of my life, but is it 10 more years? 20? Every day feels like I’m racing against the clock. Even now, at 87, Ridley Scott is still active. And back when he was past 60—my current stage in life—he created the masterpiece “Gladiator.”
@Cammers1995 It's very early, but I think you secured the "N4G's dumbest comment of 2025". Unbelievable thinking that there are people like Obscure commenting here.
Not a chance am I missing this because of a rift.At the end of the day Kojima will still make games,i will still buy them and I'm pretty sure I will enjoy them.
xHeavYx how about you read the article before you report a post?
No not MGS V but any other Konami game released after.
Instead of using that title the author could've easily used "Why we shouldnt boycott MGSV"
By using a clickbait title like that, ppl wont want to give you clicks and just answer the question without reading the article.
I posed the question that way because when the news broke that is how I was seeing it presented on multiple boards I'm a part off. I felt it best reflected gamers mindset at the moment.
