Death Stranding 2 Trailer & State of Play | Asmongold Reacts 

Yes! Some of the best games were never made for a giant, mainstream audience.

that puppet looks like the toy from puppet master called blade.

I heard Kojima had his team Watch David Lynch stuff to get that vibe they wanted. LLL❤

bro, this makes me want to play the first game! never played before

When he said "so you chooses stick this time" i believe the sequel will be more action packed.

im really hype for Stellar Blade, every gameplay trailer it shows since it eas announced it made me more excited

Yeah as a hardcore nier fan (nier replicant is my favorite game of all time), stellar blade is def one of my most anticipated games

same people be playing Palworld and praising it lmao

Stellar Blade may look and play like Nier, but story-wise it won't be on the same level.

@@MrDailyvid You may be pleasantly surprised. I say this as someone who has played both OG Nier, and Nier Automata. The devs making Stellar Blade has another other IP (Nikke) and it has been an awesome roller-coaster of good world building tied to a compelling narrative. The fan service element can only take you so far; that it has not only stayed relevant more than a year after release, but rakes in more revenue than other competitors (only hoyoverse consistently out earns them, and it isn't by a huge amount either; some months, Nikke passes HSR) says a lot about Shift Up. Still though...This is their first foray into a AAA game. I'm actually more worried about the bugs/game-play loop. We shall see come April...

Uhh...how old do you think the Joker is? mf been around since the 40s

@@jadendobson9614 Look at what the 1940s Joker looks like and tell me if Troy's character looks like him. People saying the Joker only because of Heath Ledger's Joker.

I got strong alice Cooper vibes. Also his guitar weapon ilhas to be influenced by the dmc3 guitar axe.

@@Sirin2099 Even before Heath Ledger played him, there has been long-haired iterations of the Joker.

@@jadendobson9614 Bro the first long haired Joker was the dreadlocked style one from the animated Batman TV show in 2004. so only a year before Heath Ledger's appearance.

Agreed. And the game was way more fun than it had any right to be. It's way more than the sum of its porting and building parts

True

Yeah. I loved the gameplay. There was something soothing about forging your own path through a beautiful landscape, the whole time building the tools to overcome new obstacles and set up better paths.

I wont say it's "fun". But it somewhat theurapatic, like watching cookie being baked or paint drying (I'm not being sarcastic here)

That's the beauty of Kojima. He mades you part of the story, makes you feel what your character is feeling. Like in MSG1 psychomantis reading your memory card and reading your moves, like MSG2 and MSG4 trying to resist the electrocution torture and the microwave hallway making you press buttons like crazy and you getting tired of it.

I understand exactly what you are saying.

I tried, but failed miserably 😂 I respect your self-control, & wish I could get that first-time experience as fresh as you’ll get! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Spoiler: there's walking in the game.

Lol exactly. I'm still trying to figure out what happened in DS1. ❤

Not much espionage on this one. Not alot of action too. I guess you could see walking as an action.

@@Rihcterwilkerhe’s talking about the one after DS2. Kojima said he’s gonna work on it after DS2 release.

​@Rihcterwilker The game after, not DS2. It's gonna be a new game and movie I guess.

"U STUPID" @@Rihcterwilker TUDUdudu...

@@Rihcterwilker when hate blinded brain function loool

Could not agree more! Playing 250 hours of Death Stranding at the beginning of the lockdowns, a few months after my dad died, was literally one of the most significant experiences of my life

The catharsis of the final moments really hit deep. The last delivery really hits you in a way that few narratives in gaming have ever achieved.

Sad it's not really a lot of people's speed and they'll never get to experience it 😢 such a unique and beautifully deep game

@@Superabound2

Always the niche games are the best.

😂😂😂 bruh I laughed too hard on this comment.

can't wait to hide under a box

A little?

I read "my parents" and I was life wtf, what year it is??

yeah kinda done with their whole focus on Death Stranding games albeit they are good games. I would love to see him and his company do more.

His reaction to Stellar Blade is by far the most ignorant I’ve seen him.

Totally 😂 he was like this looks great this looks great then gets super impatient and freaks out about the combat having finishers and said it’s a story game comparing it to a walking sim. There are super extensive gameplay trailers already brother. I was like alright he doesn’t like it that’s okay. 😅

You have to understand that asmon is a goblin and his followers are even worse. The dude is a wow player. It's fun to watch him in very short snippets that the editors pick out. Like 5 minutes out of 12 hours a day that he streams. He just doesn't have the mental capacity to see past anything in front of his nose. He sees a trailer that is mostly cutscenes, "the game sucks". He sees a game for 10 seconds "the game sucks" (the game being Batman Arkham knight and monster hunter world). It's literally a Christmas miracle that he NOW playing various games and trying out new stuff because his gaming habits are the same as his living and eating habits. Him trying out games like ff14, monster hunter, final fantasy 16 etc ... Is like him trying a new food, that "new food" being a nice omelette, a toast with ham and mayo, a hamburger with chicken (no, nothing as crazy as sushi or Chinese food. Or fruit like tangerines, kiwis, bananas, strawberries and blackberries. Are you nuts? Of course he has never tried nuts). He is like a baby, getting new neuron pathways in his brain, so everytime he sees a souls like he is mildly interested because of elden ring that he liked, everytime he sees an anime game he thinks of final fantasy 16 that he liked. Sometimes those new pathways can confuse him, like when people say DS2 for death stranding 2, he thinks of dark souls 2. That happens. Almost every single game shown is cool and is for a different audience. I for once I'm a "gamer", I play everything except survival games, MOBAs and MMOs (too much time investment for games that don't give much back. They are just addicting and become a chore. That happened with Warframe, Neverwinter and dead by daylight. The games aren't even fun anymore but I'm still grinding them out cuz it's an addiction). So all the games are cool for me, be it Helldivers 2 (the first one was PHENOMENAL), Silent hill 2 (it's a classic as much as re2. People complaining are too young to understand and those complaining are just purists that hate remakes in general. The gameplay of silent hill 2 was never good to begin with. The remake seems like the same gameplay but vastly improved, without going overboard and making it completely different), until dawn (the 2nd best point and click choose your own adventure type game. Yeah, looks like most kids have no idea what those games are, so they just call them "movies" as a bad thing), dragon's dogma 2, death stranding 2, stellar blade and especially rise of the ronin (the noob and other souls likes by team ninja have ALWAYS been fantastic action games. They never looked amazing but they play better than most western games. They just lack animation blending, that's all. Rise of the ronin looks like an amazing blend between nioh, sekiro and ghost of Tsushima. Sadly it's open world...but oh well. Guess it's gonna be more of an action game than a soulslike. Hope the difficulty is untouched cuz I need more difficult action games). Even V rising looks cool. This year is even better than last year so far. Tekken 8, Helldivers 2, final fantasy 7 rebirth, rise of the ronin, dragon's dogma 2, stellar blade, death stranding 2, black myth wukong, Warhammer 40k space Marines 2, no rest for the wicked (from Ori devs), phantom blade zero, lost soul aside, mgs3 remake, silent hill 2 remake, arc raiders, marathon, metro awakening, maybe pragmatic finally, a venom PS5 standalone/dlc and so much much more.

@kato093 yeah this year is looking stacked so far.

Looks trash imo lolll gonna flop that presentation was so bad

Pissed me tf off and then say it just press X, cant wait to see him fail to kill the first boss

Because allot of people haven’t seen the footage of the game over the years. I can’t blame em. I’m sure that they’ll be a showcase that goes into it.

@@ELDENLORD89 Asmon himself reacted to footage of it at the PlayStation showcases, but I understand your point for others who haven’t actually seen it.

Yep, this was the typical story oriented trailer companies do closer to launch. Stellar Blade gameplay is well known by now. Yeah, it's standard hack n slash, but looks really good. Looking forward to it.

Yeah a little, was also wishing for a bit more than a second of un cut gameplay at a time in it though

The funniest thing about this, is he did react to the other trailers at the time, and he thought it looked good, lmao. Somehow he just forgot about everything he saw previously about Stellar Blade.

Right before that, he praises death standing 2 for being all about story 🤦‍♂️

@@GreatRaijin You wrote about what I thought. I don't know why he is so negative about the Stella Blade trailer when it shows what the game is all about, and I look forward to seeing Stella Blade as someone who loves Death Stranding.

Bro got defensive about his anime game

It's not as bad as his take on Helldivers 2, which is a potential contender for the title of Game of the Generation. I guess he was playing 5000 hours of WoW when I was playing Hell Divers 1. I have a friend who played too much WoW and he became ridiculously out of touch. He doesn't behave like a pseudo expert though, so it's ok.

people can no longer see a difference now that gameplay uses the same graphics as the cinematics

And possibly thos who screams never play the 1st game anyway

Bruh having weapons defeats the purpose of gameplay, they are just another part, please don't talk about non fans and attempt to please them

@@MGrey-qb5xz it's a choice also I'm not pleasing them, just wanted to clear up some misconception about the game. Bcuz it affects the perceptions of future players who might want to check it out.

Lmao would be better if it was just a walking sim. The combat mechanics of Dеаth Stranding were соmрIete dоgshit and even stealth was(which is wild, considering Kojima defined steath genre to begin with)

@@adventurertako1316 So basically it gets good 100 hours in?

@@detective2221 nope, it gets good as you progress. Don't treat every game with that kind of BS. It isn't a grinding game.

It felt like he was just hate watching, skipping to the combat and when it was shown with parries and stuff dude just called it a "spam X game", dunno if when watching the shift up logo he remember his opinion that aged like milk of Nikke and went the same route for Stellar Blade.

​@@insanianevi8089Yeah he was definitely hate watching lol

The combat for stellar blade looks a lot like the combat in Nier games, which tbh is bit "spam x" like. It's fun but it's not the soulslike sekiroesque combat some of you might be expecting. That being said, I'm sold, It looks flashy, it might have a cool story, and It looks like the type of game to have a banger OST. It reminds me of the nier games, which are goated games, so I'm definitelly looking forward to this.

And Judas, can’t wait for that one

Good take. Duno why he is as freaking out about stellar blade. 😂

ppl hate on death stranding before even playing it. it was one of the best games I ever played

@@KrazyKrzysztof it feels so cinematic and intriguing

​@@Maidenlessfoo1Well that's because he's a gameplay andy and there wasn't that much gameplay shown in the trailer for Stellar Blade lol. He's not a fan of story-based games.

I was going to say I enjoyed most of the games in the showcase, just realized you mean death stranding lol

Enjoyed the first game a lot! I guess some people had different expectations at that time

I loved DS. I’m ready for DS2.

i mean i enjoyed watching it...

Put 400hrs into the PS4 version before ps5 release. Cannot wait to invest much more in DS2

Agreed 100% 😂 he was like this looks great ooo this looks good then he started tweaking and ripping into it. His loss I suppose but I’m sure he’ll take it all back if he plays it.

I just went back and saw his reaction to the first PlayStation showcase trailer, and of course he thought it looked good, lol. Ignorance and bad memory automatically makes someone’s opinion irrelevant. He’s just giving a pointless emotional reaction at this point.

Honestly a lot of people haven't heard of it and haven't seen the combat, and a lot of people have seen it. It's not like it's a game that is shaking the entire industry

lmao

Why are you accusing a cavemen 'living under a rock'?

Yuji Shimomura is involved, the guy in charge of action scenes of DMC & Bayonetta

​@@maestromgxI mean, Kojima probably has the smartest HR team in the industry, aside from being able to acknowledge talent himself.

Heavy inspiration from an amazing game as well as others

There's tons of gameplay trailers. This was the one time they showed off depth beyond combat, and asmon has the smoothbrain "ew story game" take like always. If anyone wants to see the combat, go look at other trailers. The combat looks insane.

Yup! Nier Automata is imo the greatest video game ever made.

@@4IndieForeverNier automata has one of the greatest soundtracks I’ve ever heard and Stellar Blade looks like it’s going to have a banger track as well.

I just can't play with a main character like that. She just seems so out of place, she just doesn't fit the whole setting. Not even mentioning that she imo just looks so damn bland, as to be expected by korean devs. But everything else looked so damn cool, like the character design of the minor npcs and monsters, but nah the main character and matter of fact the whole main cast look so boring, ruins the game for me. Pure fanservice and i'm just over it at this point. Nier automata had a fan service main character too but atleast she somehow had interesting design that fit in with the whole nier world.

x2 more strands x2 more Normal Reevus

Normal Reeves

You wish

Destiny 2 is a Strand game too.

@@SigmundIII no

It's literally a sequel.

Well you have to remember most devs are just hired help and in for the money, kojima considers himself a perfectionist and constantly tries to challenge himself.

That's nice. Now if he could put together a game that doesn't actually suck, that would be even nicer. @@MGrey-qb5xz

DS is a fetch quest where you just walk and delivery things. Gameplay is just a means to an end, just a pretext for him to pretend that he's a Hollywood director with famous friends.

@@Rihcterwilker If Kojima’s gameplay was a means to an end, then explain MGS V Insane take

no one here has played the dog shit that is god of war, if thats what you mean by GOW

Comment upvoted by Hideo Kojima

Remember memes?

No publisher wants to share a show with Kojima. Imagine showing your shitty game after a Kojima trailer

Kojima loves himself too much

@@CukMcGeeWell I would be proud of myself too if I managed to make a multimillion dollar franchise for a company that exiles me. Then for me to make my own studio that rivals them while making the games I wanna make that spawn a new multimillion dollar franchise. Nah I guess I shouldn’t give myself any credit because ppl will fee insecure about themselves. Yup that’s it

imagine caring about graphics

It's way more important that they can keep a steady 60 FPS on console, as it should be the priority of any action game.

Asmon can be slightly entertaining sometimes, but his opinion is mostly always uneducated and stupid. He just acts like he knows what he's talking about.

Best comment on here^

My guess is, it will not sell as well, as the "haters" will not spent a single buck on it.

Man my mom and I bonded over low roar his death was really unexpected

Whattt???? He died??????????

what?!

I can't unsee it nooo 💀💀

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOWGH ☠

it was exceptionally boring.

@@welliamd2463 Only to people who loves pew pew games like Fortnite.

@@welliamd2463 LMAOOOO short attention span detected. Go play Fortnite or Call of duty kiddo

​@@welliamd2463YEP really, really boring, I still don't understand how people say it's a good game, Kojima fans maybe?

@@welliamd2463 Well some people enjoy unfathomably boring gameplay..

In the fridge duh

I think you mean Monster?

yeah couldnt remember if was either, or.@@thephilosopher7173

You mean bridge dew now

He is a genius of the highest order when it comes to video games

He is the Bridge between Games and Movies.

VR in general has been getting better overtime. hopefully Asmon understands that

He’s been missing since since mgs4c , the game was a shitty move, mgs5 isn’t even a finished game, revenged was a meme game and DS is a prime example of how people get Stockholm’s syndrome. The guys a joke.

He made a mediocre movie that had some exceptionally boring gaming elements sprinkled in.

This you just make his point even stronger ? After all that he still "try to " make something new !

@@IBADSNUI’m not against PalWorld but this comment makes me realize that the American Market is really that simple. “Americans like to shoot things.” That equals good gameplay… Well, I can’t blame them, they were smart for that one😂😂

@@thephilosopher7173 Nobody made any mention of "shooting things", besides you. You can have a great game without shooting anything and there are plenty of games that prove that. Sorry if me not liking your favorite walking simulator hurts your feelings.

Yup

They just body scanned him. He is not played by George Miller tho

@@nitromoist2248 it's George Miller regardless

I will always say that there is a huge amount of gameplay in the First Death Stranding. Granted not for everyone, but what is? Building roads and gradually getting better equipment like speed legs etc, there is so much too it

“We all loved it”…

Who are those people that loved it? I don't know anyone who played more then 2 hours of DS.

@@lupolinar Death Stranding 1 get 92% from 17,480 Steam Review. Yeah, I guess nobody loved it

@@kleberson777 If you could read what I wrote, you'ld be ashamed by your answer.

​​@@kianschoeman6574you're not supposed to. This game had one of the worst writing out there. It's unneaceasarily convoluted just like some animes, it pretends to be more than it actually is and if you say anything bad about it kojumbo psychofans gonna f you up just like Rick&Morty fans and accuse you of not having brain capacity sufficient to process what you saw. Apart from few good ideas kojumbo is overrated.

@@6DarthSion9 You clearly have not played the game or your brain is indeed slow lmao. I understood everything at the end of DS1. Its similar to how From Software makes their game lore. If you dont pay attention, you wont get it. Kojima did the same for DS1, the trailers were all over the place and it looked like 2 different games in 1 at times. In the end after playing it everything made perfect sense.

Death stranding is gran turismo of walking simulator

Most people saying about DS story most likely never played it lol

I think the story is hella complicated compared to almost all other media out there.... But I think it feels s little bit like that though because he actually does a good job of wrapping up all the craziness and giving answers to why things are the way they are. Thing about MGS. That took 6 games, 5 systems, and like 15 years to get that story out which all makes it feel discombobulated. In Death Stranding, you're asking "why are their babies in gotcha capsule balls and demon ghost with tentacles?" In like the first 5 minutes, but he spends the rest of the game setting up a story and world that explains it.

@@brookssloan9846 I do t think it’s even too complicated. Just the world changed since whatever event happend. I’m 4 hours in, MGS is my favorite franchise story wise. I can definitely see a lot of the MGSV DNA. I wasn’t a huge fan of MGSV but I do feel like the things that carried over fits well with the game. This is my comfort game now while I wait for FF7 Rebirth.
