'One of the most iconic biomes in Death Stranding, tar-flooded swamps, is making a return in Death Stranding 2'.

Tar flooded areas weren't iconic at all as if you have any sense you avoid tar altogether.

The tar was the worst part of the game besides the shooting mechanics. All in all I love the game though. I'm hyped!

Knushwood Butt42d ago

Yeah, it's flawed but I've put 350 hours into both versions combined.

The BT fights where you get dragged through the tar into scripted areas are just dumb and a waste of time. You can just walk out of the tar to safety, and nine times out of ten the BTs do nothing to stop you!

anast42d ago

I got around 150 hrs. love the game. I feel you on the BT fight thing. I roll my eyes every time it happens.

Makes sense, same director, can't really escape from your old self

Lets hope he actually finishes it this time and makes a cohesive game instead of that mess from before.

-Foxtrot1d 13h ago

Half finished and the world is lifeless?

Knushwood Butt1d 5h ago

Hope not. I gave up on MGS5 and never beat it.

Kojima has always been full of it... this is another example of his BS.

lelo2play has always been full of it, and one of the long lasting trolls here... this is another example of his BS comments.

1nsomniac2d ago

100% the guy is the absolute king of his own bullshit. Kojima and his fans baffle me with how brazen they are with it!

Pyrofire952d ago

Have you ever cared about something?

@MrNinosan Obscure has always been full of it and is another troll.

TheEroica2d ago

Kojima is as dumb as a stack of bricks. 🤷 His lust over gamers hating his games is just silly. He's a lousy story teller and he should stick to making games built around compelling gameplay.... The moment a cutscene starts my eyes auto roll.

Z5012d ago

Couldn't even imagine rolling my eyes since 1998

P_Bomb2d ago

Dumb as a stack of bricks? Funny, some comments have the same effect on me. Instant eye roll.🙄

jznrpg3d ago

I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.

anast2d ago

It's a really good game. Heartman is my favorite character.

SlothLordPootus2d ago

I'm playing through it for my first time, enjoying parts of it, and other parts not so much. It's definitely a Kojima ass game in all the good and bad ways. Honestly the combat/stealth sucks ass in it tho, which is really the worst part for me, which is a bit inconceivable given MGS V.

Knushwood Butt2d ago

Exactly. The combat and stealth suck and are just shoehorned in to deliver a layer of challenge.
Hold your breath when going through the same BT areas EVERY time.
Nonsense about weather forecasts when it ALWAYS rains in certain areas no matter what.
Tedious Cliff fights.
Dumb BT fights that you can 100% walk (wade) away from without the enemies attacking you.
Broken lore about dead bodies.
The list is long.
Having said that, I've platinumed both versions from scratch.

-Foxtrot3d ago

Then why do a sequel straight away?

Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

Reverse psychology...ok I won't buy it then.

Eonjay2d ago

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.
