What The Hell Is Going On In Death Stranding 2? 

I remember the first one actually making sense by the time the game was over 😅 I was shocked

Lol don't know if you played it or not but it's actually straight forward for the most part

Mate I love story’s in games but I only understand them as I’m playing. Death stranding tho it’s taken me a year to understand it 😂

Just answer who what when where and why. The why is the most complicated, but that's explained immediately when the President hangs up.

Lady of Lore has a three part series that came out about a month ago that explained the game exceptionally well, imo.

Both. Mad genius is a thing

@@OversoulGaming fair point.

Definitely a bit of both 😅👌🏽 lol But it don't scare me! No matter what I know I'll be getting a totally unique, polished, and intriguing game, that's 100% worth my money. That's rare in games these days. I say bring on the weirdness & beauty. I'm ready! 2025 can't get here fast enough tbh. What a banger year it's gonna be!

@@KabbalahSherry very true. I still have not played the first one yet.

Why is that a thing, lunatic? Theres way more nonsense in horror games and people doesnt take that as lunatic crap. People don't call Hidetaka Miyazaki crazy because of what he created in Soulsborne (for some reason), which on many levels is much more precedent-setting in craziness than what Kojima does imo

Notice how Higgs is now in Amelie’s body?! What’s that about

Kojima-san, is that you?

​@@uzik00sh65 is he though?

Agree, It would be so fun and a pain in the @$$ at the same time 😂

Fragile says to Sam she couldn't shoot him and left him stranded on the beach with the gun.

Inversion. On the beach timefall makes you younger. Perhaps.

I noticed Higgs had lines in his cape during a scene or two that made him look like how we would depict some Egyptian gods.

bring on the deliveries lol i need more grinding

If you care enough lady of lore has a really good 3 part series explaining the game from start to finish while presenting it in a way it makes sense

@@johnd6006 thanks, I'm still playing it, I might check that out when I'm done, I don't want any spoilers. It is very interesting so far though.

@@trankia1224 yeah definitely wait till you finish the game

The BB was controlling the robots cos you can hear baby giggling when the robot was fighting Higgs

@@saidbtk the BB might just be a spirit BT not an actually physical BB

It was cut, you can tell. So something happens in between that and I believe Higgs just said WTF? Because of the sudden sound he heard and the baby laughs from BB So something probably big happens in the scene we don’t see here where Higgs had BB and then a cut happened and then we see the samurai

True

The Action Director of DS2 is Yuji Shimomura and he did the action cinematics of Devil May Cry 3, 4 and 5 along with a few other games I can’t remember off top so it makes sense

Higgs is cosplaying as Amelie... the extinction entity which he worships. But yeah from a meta level it's a nod the The Crow

It’s actually fun. There’s a lot of obnoxious shit with deliveries but there’s battles and a lot of sneaking/stealth

Also, the coffin that - maybe - Elle’s character is excavated from may be a device that allows people to be extracted from The Beach remotely, maybe also how Higgs was able to come back through the beach (like we see him emerge from).

My theory is BB’s soul is on The Beach and her body is in our world and she may be able to control those Body Bag Mechs.

It's really not that complicated, what didn't you understand ?

@@blacksand. To be honest it was quite a while ago. And I cant really remember any of it. Other than I finished it and enjoyed it unexpectedly

It really wasn't that hard. Everything was explained... and i mean EVERYTHING

@@hotcoldman77 was it. Mustn't of paid enough attention

Yes, because the two aren’t completely different types of games 🤦‍♂️

@@yogisie only thing different is the development budget. Hellblade 2, 20 Million Vs Death Stranding 2, 100+ Million

Okay Konami.

Okay Kojima's chearleader

@@mh294m okay Commie

@@miaimiai1983 Oh so now if you don't like Kojima you're a cumminist? You're a walking brain cells decimator, I'm impressed!

Bro, the writer is Kojima, literally says it at the start of the first game. He’s the writer and director for the second game too.

I play games to relax/escape, so am always looking for slower stuff. This and BG3 were great for that. That's the appeal for me at least.

@@dctrbrass I really prefer chill games over super fast action games too, however there's a difference between chill and boring. But dude, you have no need to justify yourself to me.

The writing in the first one was pretty good, I understand the gameplay, it’s not for everyone If it makes you happy, Hideo is working with A23 (the ones who made everything everywhere all at once) to make an adaptation of the game

it really is, but the kojima liarboys will say that it's the best thing since grilled cheese.

@@PeanutButterAndJellyBrosy’all do that with The Last of Us and everything those games do so all is fair

So why are you here ?

You probably think The Last of Us part 2 was a masterpiece despite that game being more pretentious than anything Kojima has ever made

@@lindsaymonroe567 actually never played it but if you feel good do you

@@Ji99i3play it

Kojima is one of one who can demand a bag and and the freedom to do whatever he wants with it. Other devs should aspire to have the creative freedom and power.

Devs on a leash make Ubisoft like games, and SUICIDE Squad

Oh ffs "put him on a leash" 🙄 Says who?! YOU?! The 1st game has sold almost as many copies as Elden Ring, and now even more people are checking it out, thanks to the latest trailer that he dropped for the sequel. YOU don't have to play these games if they don't interest you! But to act as if Kojima should only be creating what YOU would want to play, is crazy entitled. Death Stranding is actually way more popular than ya'll complainers have ever given it credit for. I can't tell you how many comments I've seen from people who regretted not giving the game a chance when it 1st launched, because they had listened to the bandwagon of bitchers, moaners, and whiners, who were pissed off that you had to [checks notes] walk to locations sometimes, and explore the map. Something you gotta do in literally EVERY open world game, mind you. 🤣💀 LMAO I mean, it even gives the players their 1st vehicle early on, in the damn tutorial phase... but STILL people called it a "walking simulator" and cried that it was too "cerebral" of an experience, with too much story, blah blah blah. All ya'll have done is complain for 4 YEARS that he's making this weird shit... but so what?! At the end of the day, anybody who plays it will be given a unique, polished, intriguing and FINISHED game, worth their time & money. Something a lot of AAA games haven't always bothered to do... and you know it. JUST LET KOJIMA COOK. 🤷🏻‍♀️😌 lol Afterall, there's plenty of other "restaurants" out there, if you're looking to eat something different. The rest of us are getting FULL though. And that's truly all we could ask for.

I respect a director for sticking to his OWN VISION despite a majority of people, myself included, saying their art is trash than a director that caves into the criticism of his art and makes a more redundant and standard piece of work next time. People criticize Michael Bay for his films being trash, which they are, but at the end of the day, those are still HIS films made HIS way with HIS OWN vision and I respect that more than an Everyman director making a crowd-pleasing Superhero blockbuster I applaud Hideo Kojima for sticking to his guns despite the criticism the first game got. We need MORE directors in both video games AND movies to be like this.

“Really wanted Kojima to do a different proper thing” Why? Because this game isn’t up to YOUR generic standards it’s not “proper”? Give me a break

The trailer even explains how this game isn’t going to be a “uPs SiMuLaToR” but I guess you were too busy blindly hating on it like everyone else with that cliched ass criticism

​@@lindsaymonroe567 feel free to play your ,,not UPC simulator and unofficial The Crow reboot ,, then , i still don't care for it in the least 😂

It was guide good the ups simulator give it a go

Why are you even watching this vid then play cod or sum

He made trash games before he left Konami, MGS4 was one of them

@@lindsaymonroe567 MGS4 is really a pathetic game overall. It has its moments but that's it.

@@rosalindapineda54 you kojima loverboys are getting old with the comebacks.

MG4 was full of mechanics and guns but hardly anything to use them on in the game. The game was a short corridor followed by a long cutscene, repeat. MGV and Death Stranding had useless game mechanics. Nonsensical story with a long plot dumbes. Not a fun game loop. The theory is he had a co-writers in the first three Metal Gear games. And didn't have full creative control until 4

Yet you’re here

Why are you even here?

Failure how? People myself included think it looks cool. And I believe that's all it was meant to be.

@@benjamincurtis1412 I know it's all intentional, but don't you think that in a game that, judging by the first part, is supposed to be rather serious, showing some strange puppets and guitar shots just doesn't suit the atmosphere of the game. the first part was interesting, a lot of interesting mechanics, a breath of fresh air, but with the second one it seems to me that Kojima has probably gone a bit too far. This is my opinion and I'm sad about it because I think Kojima has a mega talent and is one of the best developers in the world. There's just too much of it here and it's unnecessary.

@@daniel-and1 The trailer is almost split in two... It has enough for the people who played DS1 and loved it. But there were thoes who played it and thought it needed more action. This is Kojima just showing that hws listened to them.
