the_crow13 09/17/25 12:04:33 AM #5:	I didnt play it but this happens to almost every single player(ish) game that releases. Maybe 1 or two get discussed a month after launch. i wouldnt say its indicative of the quality of the game. Maybe theres something contentious about a game or its fandom is particularly annoying which extends online discussion --- You can have results or excuses.

boxoto 09/17/25 12:19:19 AM #6:	I hated it, tbh. but tbf, that's how it usually goes with single-player games; something like Clair Obscur is an outlier due to its quality and circumstances around it. for Death Stranding 2, it wasn't as notable since the first game did all of the unique stuff first, and there was no real controversy around the game with the exception of people misrepresenting what Kojima said about it. --- Don't you agree, Zach? https://streamable.com/ueacaz <cite>boxoto posted [p:986439331] in Death Stra...

Prestoff 09/17/25 12:45:42 AM #12:	It got a lot of buzz when it came out (especially from the Kojima fanboys), but I'll be honest I greatly disliked the first game so I doubt I would like the sequel. I just found the gameplay loop really really boring. But I think the biggest hurdle against Death Stranding 2 is that it's a console exclusive, so it's reach can only go so far. I think it might get more life in there if it releases on PC like Stellar Blade or just become another fart in the wind like FF16. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:986439501] in Death Stra...

boxoto 09/17/25 7:55:38 AM #26:	IMO, he was the worst person to use as the lead for the game. all of the other characters (with the exception of Amelie, who's similarly dull) had more personality when it came to their delivery and performance between both games. like, imagine playing someone who didn't just grunt at stuff, and instead it was Higgs, Diehard-Man, Heartman, and so on. --- Don't you agree, Zach? https://streamable.com/ueacaz <cite>boxoto posted [p:986441174] in Death Stra...

Murphiroth 09/17/25 8:02:22 AM #28:	Sam just grunting at stuff is down to the writing and direction I'd say, not his performance.
