I read this comment before watching, then during that segment this was all I could think of xD

Kojima's clout is undeniable. We're looking at a game with George Miller as a character. Director of Mad Max, Babe: Pig In The City, and Happy Feet. so weird and yet so on brand.

"we are entering the second act of the trailer" hit me so hard

6:56 one of the guys at Digital Foundry said this exact thing when they first revealed Stellar Blade and he got destroyed in the comments lmaooo

I need more Kojima in my life I love that he is just taking corporations money and making stuff that actually says something and is interesting. It doesn’t vibe with everyone and honestly more games should go down that route rather than trying to appeal to everyone.

Die Hardman. I’ve seen Hideo say the name of that character in an interview. As far as I could tell he was perfectly sober. He didn’t even blush. Die Hardman. Hideo Kojima is insane. Or at least nobody ever says “no” to him. Just occasionally, someone should. Die Hardman. Good Lord.

Death Stranding lore, distilled into two sentences: A kind act by the Extinction Entity unintentionally created a fundamental upset in the balance between life and death, called Death Stranding. Sam, a porter, must make deliveries and connect disparate survivors living across a desolate America so that humanity may try and prevent their extinction. That's the best i can do lol. The game's lore DOES make sense, but there is a LOT of it.

For some reason i laughed so bad with Bruces comment about the Machinima after party

Love Bruce leaving the zoom call 2 seconds into law talking about death standing lore

Death stranding definitely makes sense in the end. There’s some open ended mysteries, maybe. But on the whole?

I think because The Beach still exists in some way through Earth, there are lots of things that should be rectified.

Finally more of the genre that is Kojima

I love it in horror games when the protagonist goes 'WhAt ThE fUcK?!' everytime something scary happens, it really gets you invested

I'm worried about Bruce's first experience with Silent Hill being the remake cause it's very different from the original that made it great.

I mean, the magic left hand is a good system.

Judas is the Ken Levine game that is supposedly going to use his very interesting narrative gameplay system that he gave a dev talk about that that I'm VERY excited to see implemented

During the (very long) Stellar Blade trailer, the thing I noticed even more than her shiny bum was the amount of different outfits she had! There’s over five completely different outfit sets? And the details seem insane. The Barbie lover in me is pleased.

Don’t say “on the beach” 😂

Can’t wait for Stellar Blade!

Dammit Bruce, with DS2, I know it's a bit too much, but I still love it. The gameplay is good AND it's gorgeous.

That might be just a bit too much art house

40:11 the second act of the trailer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I recommend watching a long youtube video about death stranding 1 story if you don't want to commit to play.

Kojima games especially death stranding is one of my favorite ones and I really do think that you are to create your own true meaning within the general sense of the game 😂😂😂 I spent like 120 hours in death stranding and it’s goofy game but it’s a awesome game

Lawrence and I had the same reaction to the Until Dawn Trailer

Why is the crow in death stranding 2?

13:00 Lawrence says: Get the **** out! Bruce'Gooses say: Get the **** out!

The guitar axe was one maverick step too far for me 🎸

Lawrence dropping a mega spoiler at the end for 'Death Stranding' was a bit sudden

I have never played Death Stranding, but now I'm really interested in the story, characters, and universe. I wrote it off before because it did initially look like a walking simulator, but everything from DS2 just looks weird and crazy in a good way and I want to try the first game anyway, so I got he Director's Cut on PC

Listen the game is a walking simulator about 80% of the time (mind you unlock vehicles and stuff but you are still just making deliveries). But the first voidout cutscene sold me on the game originally and I played it and found that the simplistic walking simulator game was in its own way fun. It introduces obstacles and ways to get over or around those obstacles a way that kept the game entertaining for me. I love the game, but if you are dead-set against a walking simulator then you probably will not make it through the first act of DS1, and that is okay.

That was what I thought when I played the first one. If you think you won’t like it, then you probably won’t. I forced myself to finish it and all the exposition in the world couldn’t make the story any better. It’s nonsense that pretends to be high art. If you’re into Kojima’s previous work then more power to you, but his style just isn’t for me.

My whole thing w/these "walking simulator" complaints is that nobody says that sh*t about ANY other game, where you have to walk & explore on the map ffs. 🤦🏻‍♀️🥴 lol You gotta do it in Horizon Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild, etc. Yeah you eventually get cool ways of traversing the terrain in those games, but guess what? It's the EXACT SAME w/Death Stranding. Nobody has to walk EVERYWHERE in that f*cking game, come on. You're given a vehicle before you even leave the "tutorial phase" of things! And you just KEEP unlocking cool & interesting vehicles all throughout. In the Director's Cut, you can even get 2 different models of racing roadsters. Not to mention there being Ziplines that can quickly take you all around the map, as well as a method of Fast Travel too. It's honestly great. I just wish that folks would simply admit that the game doesn't interest them or isn't for them... rather than howling at the moon about it being "shit", and telling everybody misinformation about it all of the time. After almost 5yrs of this kind of crap... it's honestly become insufferable at this point.

Loving Lawrences reaction to death stranding 2!!!

put some respect on sonics name

Its my personal opinion that Sonic should stay pixelesque in art style. And be a 2D platformer. If Sonic wants to do a 3D game. It should be something in the vein of Persona or maybe Animal Crossing. I have never seen a 3D Sonic game where the fast movement looked good or cool. But hey, thats just me

"When will the audience would finally go "this is ridiculous!" in regards to all of this?" (c) Way too late for that, since that very point was reached (and firmly stepped over) in Policenauts, which was a point of the "auteur" showing first signs of actual insanity. Ever since then, the so-called "audience" been only fueling up Kojimbo's schizophrenia further, instead of institutionalizing him and trying to treat him.

Every single PS exclusive game since 10 years ago has felt like SEGA, 1990's... I hope not, but they seem destined for a comeupance. I'm not saying xbox is anywhere near better. M'f's damn near selling ass to get bandwidth for the upload. I 100% am an american gamer. I have had zero interest outside of spiderman recently for sony. Even that isn't enough to get me to buy the PS5. If my son wasn't such a hardcore halo fan, I never would have bought an xbox series x/s. I was a ps4 fan and an xbox one fan, but I've yet to see the point in buying either of these m'f's consoles when I pay less on our two PC's for games. Not sure if this fits into any narrative of the video, just had a thought and started typing... High Five!

Games. Gaming. Playing games. Words. Saying things. Saying things about games. AOK USA. 9.2/10 At least.

i'm wondering when Kojima's marketable weirdness becomes as uncomfortably cringe as nu-metal. Guess as long as he keeps doing it and has fans for it - never.

I loved the Metal Gear franchise but Death Stranding especially this sequel is too pretentious for me. It's really no different from all the mumbo jumbo jargon and convoluted plotlines of Metal Gear which can get too much in those games. Just all the cool military stealth espionage is stripped away from Death Stranding.

Spartans in Halo used to have very sexy bottoms. But the “BOO” people ruined that. Why? WHY? I hereby commit to buying every game that shows sexy bodies, even if I’m not interested in the game. For society.
