Death Stranding - Ludens Fan Character Spotlight
- Thread starter Lant_War
- Start date
Weight systems could end up being super annoying. Games like Elder scrolls and Fallout have infuriating encumbrance mechanics where the world is full of stuff that you can pick up and you constantly find your self unable to move around because of it. So far it doesn't seem like DS has random stuff in the world to pick up so it might not be an issue.
MGSV didn't win everything the year it came out though so I doubt the industry is that enamoured with Kojima.
Are you trying to shit on both BotW and DS at the same time because I definitely remember nothing but excitement and praise over BotW2 when it was announced.
Pretty certain you are in a thread where people aren't giving Kojima a pass for anything. His treatment of women in his narratives and how creepy a lot of it is has been discussed in this thread. People are discussing at this very moment about how the gameplay looks bland.
Why don't you make a topic about this very thing if it is upsetting you this much?
This seems like the perfect game to watch YouTube clips of people fucking around, not actually playing it.
This game STILL does nothing for me. Visually, it looks great. Gameplay wise, there is nothing.
I hated MGS V and its terrible open world. I don't know what to think about Death Stranding...
What about Lindsay Wagner as the president of the US? Putting so much value on the name "fragile" is also kind of silly and Mama clearly seems to be some kind of scientist or engineer to me
I think you really under estimate the impact of console wars in exclusive threads, it's not explicitly allowed but people gauge in it anyway under the guise of many things, most obvious being concern trolling. It's evident in Xbox/Ninty/Sony threads, I firmly believe if everyone owned all platforms on this forum this place would be extremely civil, but that would also take out a lot of fun haha!
You put it so succinctly, thank you!
Also, I'm in complete agreement. People complaint about the lack of variety in AAA games but now we are in Uncharted territory (no pun intended) in Death Stranding, plenty are finding it difficult how to comprehend that. The fact they are stressing on environment in every trailer speaks volumes about where the focus is in this game but for many if they don't have huge guns to mow through those obstacles then I guess the game is meh?
I won't lie, it's the weird mystique behind this game which has me intrigued. The fact its being made by Kojima only gives me more confidence because he knows how to build good games. I'm very curious to see how its received by the masses at large because it's very much treading on some batshit concepts.
Honestly, I think Gamescom was the prime moment to release gameplay in its full glory but obviously Kojima has other ideas. He did say, this is a 'small gameplay segment' which we saw today with full reveal to come at TGS so it's probably going to be in 3 weeks time.
I'm expecting some great gameplay from the person behind MGSV. I just wished they showed us more of it.
I agree. It does seem to be the case. This wasn't a carefully curated showcase of the game but ultimately we are getting to see more of the game that we haven't seen enough of in the first place. I hope the game can strike a good balance between the crazy mystical elements and these boring and bland down times.
It depends on how much of a role it plays in your main gameplay loop, I suppose.
For example, Item Load vs Equip Load in Souls games. Demon's Souls had weight not only in what you equip, but what you carry with you. That means that sometimes you're unable to get the loot that's supposed to be the reason why you're doing what you're doing just because you have too much shit you don't even use. Equip Load, on the other hand, balances the different types of armor, the Endurance stat and directly affects your character's speed and movement, with different tiers of dodge rolls tied to that stat. It's no surprise that they ditched Item Load but kept Equip Load for Dark Souls.
In this game's case, assuming I'm right, how much stuff you carry at once is a major part of the main gameplay loop. You have to decide how much cargo you want to take, and how much space/weight you want to save for your ladders, guns and other tools that will help you in traversal or combat. So it's more Equip Load than Item Load.
I hope you're wrong, because that's how I felt about MGS V, so there is a precendet.
I want this game to be good just as much as anyone else (Especially being a massive fan of classic MG up to MGS4), but I'm not going to overlook that there's certain developers whose works get ridiculous amounts of praise and critical attention before we know barely anything about it. That's almost always because their previous works were solid and have a good reputation, which is fine, but i feel like when an overt amount admiration is being heaped on something we barely know anything about, it's possible that opinions about a final product are possibly already influenced, intentional or not (And let's be real, it's happened before).
Just watching that video and people cheering and applauding for what amounts to "Press a button to pee" (When not much else is shown off) is the type of stuff that leads me to be iffy and observant.
I like the way they've confirmed you can't see the characters penis. Invisible penis. Boobs in games, great. Man knob? Nooooooooo.
Okay thanks. I missed that.
Well,lets kick the can until another 3 weeks, huh? Hopefully Kojima can redeem himself for some of us
Based on what I've seen, no, not at all. The implication that people should be excited just because it's different for the sake of it is an odd take. Sometimes weird shit appeals to a person, other times... not so much.
Also writing everyone off that's not feeling the game as only caring for mindless action is lame.

Honestly from this trailer, the game looks pretty bad, but Im still interested for some reason.
Not all games can be like The Order: 1886 with gratuitous penis
I don't know if the game will be fun or not but I really like how it's not trying to be a combat simulator.
Boobs and penis are not the same, you didn't see naked breasts either, this makes no sense
The penis is below the tank, how is the baby supposed to see the penis? And even if it could see what's below ...what if Sam had a mini-penis? I mean, the environment looks rather cold.
I wish I knew what this game is about. I get that the mystery around has become a meme by now but I think it's about time we are shown what this game truly is
Peter Molyneux and David Cage must be really pissed watching hype surrounding this game. Molyneux because instead of promising miracles, he should have been vague. David Cage because he kept his pretentiousness in check.
Everything I've seen from this game so far makes it look like a boring, bland game made by a guy who's convinced he's the new Da Vinci. Guy that shits on his co-workers/employees by claiming he's done everything in his games. Finally, guy who seems to have some kind of urine fetish. From golden shower in Metal Gear 2, to an entire option in Death Standing's radial menu reserved for pissing.
That urination is actually a great metaphor for how Kojima trolls his fanboys. He can literally sell them piss and pretend there's a deep meaning behind all that. Just like he did explaining Quiet's scant latex costume in MGS. I'm out. Graphics look great and that's about it.

This is the case with literally everything. Creator legacy is going to influence how/if/why people perceive something. No shit I'm hyped for a Nosferatu remake because Robert Eggers wants to do it.
