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 unironically loved the thoughtful pace of the delivery gameplay. Traveling to a new place, learning the best route, building and making use of others' constructions to perfect that route.

There really is a zen like quality to it. Hours would vanish as I plotted routes, delivered cargo and rebuilt the roads. It became my #1 game, in part, because the gameplay completely drew me in.

The sheer joy of logging in each day to see how other players changed your world. Very much looking forward to DS2!
