Death Stranding 2 Trailer Reaction 

Agreed, you may hate it at first because it’s such a slow start but wow, the mid-late and late game plus the cutscenes are amazing!

Thanks for the recommendation 😀

I'd recommend watching a full decent playthrough instead of just the cutscenes if not playing it. There are many clues in the interaction scenes too (calls and chats), not only in the cutscenes. And understanding the world is improved if the player reads through the lore. Mapocolops comes to mind as such a player; very good on the bike, doesn't mess up much, takes time speculating on where this is going (the most fun for me as a watcher), and being a huge fan of Kojima and his style of Kafkaesque storytelling (the scanner is called an Odradek ffs 😆) is a bonus - something that may throw off some players. However... And this is a big one... No player I've seen - and I've seen 40+ let's plays and counting - have been able to fully decipher the story. They still have a complete and satisfactory conclusion to the game - that's just sheer brilliance imo. There are loads of clues in every cutscene and every angle and every gesture that players will not notice, so the not so obvious 4th wall breaking (paraphrased) line: "...to make sense of it all, to connect the dots, you need time, you need perspective..." makes sooooooo much more sense once you start noticing the clues. Nobody will if they only play/watch through it once. Two mysteries are present throughout the game, one of them many players will be able to go "called it", the second is much more vague and require a lot of explanation/exposition through cutscenes throughout the ending. But there is a 3rd hidden mystery in there, and the player is never "given" this mystery, you have to detect/discover/question it yourself, but there are tons of clues given for it. Also, I recommend watching YongYea's Spoiler Free Review of Death Stranding if considering playing it. It's slow paced, especially the first 10 hours or so in the tutorial area, it's Kojima level crazy weird, it's Kafkaesque in story delivery, it has a message to tell, highly philosophical, brilliant cinematography used to perfection, and relies heavily on metaphors (one of the lines are literally "I brought you a metaphor" - not even joking). Trailers are safe if you only intend to watch the game. If going for actual playing, I'd stay away from a recent watch as they are kinda heavy on the spoilers.

But if they just watch the cutscenes, then they will not know about so much details that were in the Mails and the awesome Soundtracks.

Keep on keeping on!

Zipline network for the win

@@drakowerewolf7209 Yeah, when those are set up in well thought out places, damn are they super helpful.

Don’t forget the spooky ghosts trying to drag you away 😂

😎👍😀

😎🤟

Thanks for letting us know 🙂

There’s a movie in development already.

Thanks for giving us your feedback and thoughts 🙂

That’s time well spent and makes game a good investment 😀

Haha, that sounds like a fun little journey 🙂

For sure some crazy imagery going on here 😳

We will always support Norman Reedus 🤩

Better to make a game or piece of entertainment that some people absolutely love but might not appeal to wider audience, than to just make something that is “OK” for everyone. Feels like we would get frustrated with gameplay but the story is something that interests us 🤔🤗

Thanks for the recommendation 🙂

Why?

@@bemindful924 (Trailer) change producton to trailer

@@muaykrm Yes. It's a puzzle.

🤩

Hmm. That’s the thing, if we will have enough time to fully devote ourselves to it 🤔 and we do want to play Mass Effect trilogy 😀

Holy crap! 😳 and we thought Kingdom Hearts 3 had long cutscenes 😂

Oh wow. High praise 😯😀

Wow. Don’t usually hear such affirmation from you. Puts more weight towards us playing it 🤔 and we had just come to the conclusion of watching cutscenes 😂 now we have to rethink everything 😝

We plan to 😅 just not sure when. It comes out February right?

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Feb 21st

We love a good story 🥲

Haha, we have heard gameplay isn’t super engaging for most which is why we may go with cutscene. That and time is a factor as well 🤗

No idea why you were expecting another Metal Gear when Kojima Productions has been blacklisted by Konami to stop that from ever happening again

@@bamban_garcia5562 what about a game LIKE metal gear with a different IP.....this game is only walk and deliver...felt like Fench Quests.

@@zaktanazaki8785 You run the problem of being sued by Konami if they feel the spiritual successor is too similar to Metal Gear Really doubt they will be forgiving considering they have the tendency to blacklist every member that leaves or is fired by them, I mean they have to outsource almost every project after they killed almost all their studios when they went all in into gambling

On our request list 😅
