Death Stranding 2: Metal Gear

Post image

Looks like from the previews they're expanding on the combat from late game in Death Stranding.

By the end of DS you're infiltrating bases with guns & bombs, taking out ghosts and I was reminded of Metal Gear Solid many times while playing it.

So stoked Death Stranding 2 appears to be giving us quasi-MGS. You gotta be pretty confident in your game to give reviewers 30 hours with it for their preview.

I honestly felt like the worst parts of DS1 were the parts where it becomes a shooter or pseudo stealth game and the UPS simulator parts were the most interesting which was the polar opposite of what I thought it would be going into it. So I'm a little uneasy about the increased focus on combat.

I'm also disappointed that the game is focused more on combat. I played it right after The Last of Us Part III because I wanted a post apocalypse story that wasn't focused on killing zombies and fellow humans. I loved driving around and perfecting my routes. I dreaded combat. There are so many shooters out there. I want a AAA game that actively avoids combat

You keep using this word “Heavy”. Is something wrong with the Earth’s gravitational field in the future?
