State Of Play Showcase (Death Stranding 2)- MinnMax's Live Reaction 

He said next gen action espionage I don’t think he meant next gen of consoles

@@iwouldntlikemeeither its pretty obvious that it is 1) games coming out called current gen 2) production starts after DS2 2025 and to make it will take up to 5 years 3) Sony will provide new tech is a hint to it as well 4) lifespan of a console usually is 6-7years, so ~2027 and game probably comes out 2030

Da hell are you talking about.

@@iwouldntlikemeeither Whilst true, starting the game in earnest AFTER ds2 and guessing a 4-6 year dev cycle which naturally puts it in PS6 territory.

@@TakaChan569 Do you think kojima productions can get a game out they haven't started full production on by 2027/2028?

FINALLY someone else gets it. Thank you!!

Honestly, it's been so annoying having everybody calling him Joker, JUST because of the white face paint. 🫣🤣 Literally nothing else about him looks or acts like The Joker though. It's clearly an homage to The Crow. And I'm here for it! Can't wait for this sequel!

DS1 was a masterpiece

You should.

Director's Cut made the game even better so try that version if you can

The Director's Cut is a big improvement

Between all the people who worship it and all the people who laugh at it, it's probably a decent game worth playing.

Yes I love nioh and wo long that's the main thing I noticed in the HUD and looking at the sword gameplay

exactly! If they nail this, then this game might easily become the game with the most satisfying combat of this year. I'd put Nioh 2 up there with the best FromSoft games.

Can already play the PS4 version on PS5 at 60fps.

@@Nexdex I've played through the game on both consoles, and yes, it's definitely improved. I was oversimplifying in my comment for sure. For me, I experienced a lot of frame stutters on PS5.

The trailer looked boring AF. I won't give it a second thought if it weren't for Jacob's excitement for it.

I totally agree, i dont understand why ben says “sick of snark?” In his minnmax pitch when he and the crew are snarky personified

I'll agree Stellar Blade looks more ambitious than I thought it did before, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. I mean look at Starfield, I'm someone who actually loves that game, but I'd say 95% of it's flaws came from over ambition. Stellar Blade shows some similar signs of "spread thinness" from what I can see here.

Were you trying to say "Asian games from studios that are not well established or known in the west" because they are interested in games from all of the studios you listed. Death Stranding 2 looks way more weird and off the wall than Stellar Blade and they were all in. Your point is moot as far as weirdness goes. The story in Stellar Blade looks a bit dull and flat compared to campy Japanese hack n' slash games like DMC, MGR and Bayonetta. *They were interested in Stellar Blade when it was showing gameplay.* They're giving it a fair shot. In real life people have specific tastes. That's just the way it is. Scolding someone for not, e.g. enjoying RTS games is very childish. Nobody should have to pretend to enjoy or be interested in media that they dislike to appease those who do. That's just wrong. People don't have to like everything and some tropes and trends in Asian media (a broad brush but we're mostly talking about Japan and South Korea) will not appeal to everyone.

Yep, some people are spoiled untitled losers who can't seem to enjoy games for what it is.

"cutscene simulator" Most of Stellar Blade's trailer was still cutscenes. lol Stellar Blade will very likely have a higher cut scene to gameplay ratio if Death Stranding 1, MGS5 and Peace Walker are anything to go by.

lol that was a wild criticism. Stellar blade was mostly cutscenes. That's what they were complaining about. Jacob was excited for gameplay. And they spent most of the deathstranding trailer laughing at the absurdity. You people are reaching for something to complain about.

What accusations? I couldn't find anything online

@@dabaronious Purging a former female employee's work, along with harrassing her, due to her support of a feminist hashtag on Twitter.

Couldn’t find anything either. Need a bit more evidence of something like that.

@@OfficialCrowMauler We only ever got her side of the story from my understanding of the situation. It also seems like she was very vocally critical on many aspects of the game's design publically while its been in development, so its not exactly black & white on why she was let go. She could have been an internal disgruntled employee for several reasons Not saying people shouldn't listen to employees in these cases, she very well could be telling the truth and should get her justice if so. Definitely would encourage other employees to speak up if they also have issues. But this thread seems to be implying Jacob or others should be boycotting the game rn. Don't see how thats exactly fair when plenty of games made by Ubisoft, Activision, Blizzard, etc have been doing far worse on a far larger scale, but still get plenty of non-stained coverage on this channel. Shift Up is a newer studio in Korea, where they very well could face closure if their reputation is tarnished and the 1 game they make bombs because of it. They may or may not deserve their rep to be damaged, but people should encourage discussing nuance with stuff like this before deciding to tell others to blacklist. Especially when this isnt a billion dollar corporation and not one abiding by Western idealogies in company structure.

​@@OfficialCrowMaulersounds like some Korean shit for sure

DS2 is also garbage

Lmao how?

so called AI haters when actual original art is made:

way too many normal looking hands for AI /j

Im sure he just means the bonkers world building ​@@SetsunaF916

Interesting and unusual design choices is possibly as far away from AI imaginable.

That crap is more niche than RU-vidrs

😴

Looks ass. Pun intended.

I've been hyping that game up since it's first showing and even I'd say that the trailer this time was hot garbage. It was some JRPG-esque, mumbo-jumbo shit, that wasn't showcasing the important factors as much as necessary.

Having a butt shoved in your face constantly doesn't make a game good
