avi loeb once again on some bullshit lmao this should’ve been posted to slop

corvids are gonna have the only actual intelligent conversation so eyah

Ok so Sam is hallucinating Lou in the pod but we know Lou is dead and so does he Sam himself literally mentions it. But actually we’re supposed to believe that Sam doesn’t know this… What…

I think this was just bad writing as in words expressed in cutscenes rather than bad writing. The same single grief cutscene (although I’d argue there’s a lot of Sam’s expressed grief in the gameplay) shows that Sam basically spent the time between Lou’s death and Fragile coming back just basically getting absolutely shitfaced and shooting his brains out over & over. He is depressed throughout the game. Why wouldn’t he be shocked when he finally snaps out of it?

Now the delivery my favourite bit they can’t fail me on this one… Except its the worst part of the game. Plotting routes planning equipment none of this is here. You simply acquire the ford f150 and drive it to the end of the game never needing to set foot on ground ever again. Drive around every BT zone drive up vertical inclines gain spike tires to climb to the top of mount everest without ever getting out of the fucking car. The entire purpose of the first game is gone delivery is simply a formality.

comrade you press the buttons you play in this game no one forces you to use the bokka skeleton lvl 3 (my beloved) or the annoying ass vehicles. all you need is a floating carrier and a dream.

Music: all over the place and not thematically consistent like the first games soundtrack. Feels more like Kojimas spotify playlist than anything else.

the loss of Low Roar was felt heavily throughout the game but i wouldn’t call the actual soundtrack (not counting the Musician’s like 1000 songs he gifts you or the various songs you might hear out of place because some dipshit player decided to stick generators with Pekorandombrain everywhere, yes thank you to the single strand contact i had who did exactly that but i kept them for the entire game anyways because they had sent like 3000 metal to me for a supplies request) all over the place or thematically inconsistent. half the damn game is basically one of Woodkid’s albums.

Honestly it feels like Kojima got cold feet and capitulated into making mgs6 lite rather than death stranding which feels extremely off brand.

ultimately i don’t agree with like 90% of the points you made in this post, but i will say this conclusion is very close to what i felt the game/story was ultimately trying to be - which in my view, was more a reflection on the life Kojima’s led (the opening track especially). I don’t think the various Metal Gear references and gameplay elements were his way of just scrapping together a sequel after floundering, I think the man just likes building games that way. You cannot say the original/director’s cut doesn’t have like 99% of the same gameplay and honestly there are very few areas in DS2 where I’d say you have to fight anyone. I went through 60% of the game with the Silent Handler tag because I basically turned in every delivery with the +500 Undetected by Hostiles because I’d either just completely bypass them with my route or I’d just sneak through. I probably would’ve beaten the game with the damn Silent Handler tag but it got replaced with Virtuous Porter because I spent like a good 2 hours one night just delivering materials to all the monorail lines in an effort to connect them…

Even the moment in game when you get handed the BT Pokeballs, I thought the game was gonna force me to capture one to make it through the nearby BT area but no - it was very happy watching me do my first voidout ever because i whiffed all the grenade tosses and equally alright with me just completely avoiding the giant crater on the map. The ghost mech facilities were annoying though even though i sped through both like a madman just downing everything in sight with the stun bola gun and my trusty container of 200 metal.

so true, the chapos of hexbear are a marginalized class - looked down upon and mistreated

EW my hexbear is five years old and if your account anniversary isn’t today you’re a fucking liberal

that’s fair thanks for answering, please don’t get mad at me but if i had the power your original comment would be a tagline just because of how 0-100 it is and every time i read it i imagine you’re replying to some sex-pest gooner hexbear who does post about porn & christian fundamentalists a lot but isn’t banned lmao - a sitcom-esque sexpest poster that everyone just shits on if you would

i don’t really care but why are you shouting at this user when, from the quick search i did of their profile/posts, they aren’t exactly posting about gooning or even ‘christian fundamentalism’ 24/7 lol

those missing security updates can’t bother me

that penguin can’t bother me i’m posting on windows 10

another one lost to the linus torvalds propagandists…sad

are the coomer brained gamers in the room with us…?

anyways yoga fire yoga fire yoga arch yo-yo-yoga yoga inferno - this was preordained accept it

this is the power of a yoga master

good post lol

Hexbears stop conflating ‘bad’ with ‘unfunny’!!!

my hexbears are one note jokesters…all they do is badpost about piss or beans, share old memes, and leave 200+ comments on posts about streamers/youtubers…

i don’t think the average beanis or piss poster would survive longer than a week in a middle school classroom…

“Okay class today today we’re finally going to get started on the anatomy section, I know this going to be very funny to you all at your age but let’s get started. Today we’re talking about the penis and how it…”

“Did you guys hear that…hehe…Mr. Lenin said we’re learning about b-beanis! hehe the piss is stored in the beanis! you will be forced to eat beans. beanis beanis beanis bea-”

“Mr. Lenin they’re being weird again…”

“Hexbear Badposter, we’ve talked about this before. Your beanis jokes were funny to everyone the first few times you made them - but your classmates have moved on and every teacher on this hall has moved on…please don’t bother your classmates again or I’ll have to send you out of the class.”

“I’m shidding and crying right now I can’t believe no one likes beans Mr. Lenin, do none of you know how much protein they have in a single serving?!”

“Oh my god they’re still doing it, can they not think up any other joke??”

“Hexbear Badposter go ahead and grab your things & head down to the principal’s office, I’ll let them know you’re on your way…”

roughly how it would go after the first week or two where the other children would probably find it funny. source: i taught 7th graders for a few years after college

good comment

Would not be impossible for Israel to just procure them through the US, like they do with basically everything else in their arsenal. Not trying to play defense for Autel, but I think having the DoD order a bunch of ‘photography drones’ and load them on a ship with their monthly supply of interceptor missiles is probably a bit more reasonable than like ‘backroom deals with Israel and Autel’.
