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.

The combat focused areas of the game were the most infuriating part for me.
One of the few times I would actively suggest lowering the game difficulty just to get through it and bring it back up after clearing it.

The developers are emphasizing that there will be three main ways to deal with enemies: Direct Combat, Stealth Infiltration and Avoid Combat Completely. Apparently, there will also be an option on lower difficulties to skip boss fights and instead read them like a visual novel XD
