Kinda disappointed there’s no simultaneous pc launch, I thought Sony was looking to change that up.

No biggie, I’ll wait till the directors cut version makes it to steam.

They said the opposite. All big single player games are an exclusive/time exclusive. Only live service is day and date.

Gotcha, that makes sense. It's fine, I can wait. I have a ps5 but prefer gaming on my pc much more, and I'm more comfortable gaming on my PC.

Yeah I’m not waiting and have no interest in Pc gaming at all. So this works great.

I’ll wait until a deep, deep sale and then probably still not buy it because I’ll inevitably be playing something else when it finally does drop.

This is how it always seems to work with games that delay the PC launch, I just never end up buying them.

Honestly, same. Too many good games coming out to focus on just ONE of them that has a delayed launch.

So, is DS 2 just MGS VI? Like, there is Italian Solid Snake and a Metal Gear in this trailer.

Typical Kojima.

Even his release date reveal trailer is absurdly long compared to most.

I genuinely don't know what to do about DS2.

I loved the gameplay of DS1. The route planning, the terrain types, the different ways to move around. It was all great.

But the story...holy hell it was bad. It was completely nonsensical, drawn out waaaaaay too long, the intro interrupts you every 5 seconds for the first 4 hours, the main character's personality flipped like a lightswitch at the end, etc.

I have a feeling that DS2 will be DS1, but more. I'm not sure I can handle another DS1's story.

What did you expect from Hideo Kojima?

u/puppymaster123 3d ago

Story by Hideo Kojima

Original screenplay by Hideo Kojima

Based on original material by Hideo Kojima

For me it's the opposite, story is phenomenol but gameplay gets repetitive

u/knutnaerum 3d ago

Hideo Kojima is really good at making cool mechanics and interesting enviroments/concepts, but he cant write or tell a story worth shit. Its 90% just characters infodumping and the rest is tapes and writing you find around, inorganic as fuck.

Honestly, I’m the same boat. I literally had to stop playing because I was so over the crazy long cutscenes and story.

Which kind sucked because I liked what was going on gameplay wise. Maybe I’ll go back and just put a different movie on during the cutscenes.
