  I’m just waiting around for Physint now.

  Never had any interest in death stranding and I’m kinda disappointed there’s a whopping 2 of them.

  Norman Reedus and the Funky Feetus 2: Death Gear Boogaloo

  More Metal Gear-like sounds awesome. Article mentions equipment customization, more weapons, camo options for stealth etc.

    Well I was hoping it meant indoor sneaking levels like MGS2 and not MGSV gameplay.

      Yes, video games in general have stopped caring about interiors because they require “too much thought” on the part of the lazy/incompetent developers.

      Maybe something like sneaking through the bowels of an Arsenal Gear-like BT?

    Honestly, I can’t get myself to play it through. It’s just so strange and has so many depressing elements.

      I couldn’t get through much of it either, but not because of the weird stuff, I like weird, the gameplay is just too… involved? Stressful? Exhausting? Like I’m ok with challenging games sometimes, but needing to spend a ton of time slowly trekking across fields and mountains while manually trying to keep your footing, managing a bunch of consumables, and occasionally needing to play walk through the ghost minefield with your baby detector while dealing with the rest of that is just not something I could keep up for as long as the game was going to go.

      The story was so absolutely absurd in the first few hours. It lost me when they introduced Die Hard Man and a few other plot elements. There’s no way I could have ever finished it, and I love the convoluted mess of Metal Gear lore.

  I saw that Kojima talked to Conan recently… Maybe Conan will be in this one too?
