That's Too Much Art - State of Play Inside Games React

[@NateArchibaldWithTheFro]

Kojima really watched the crow and was like “this is my idea now”

[@chrisp4039]

Just like how he watched Escape from New York

[@MarioVelezBThinkin]

@@chrisp4039 I dunno. Plisken is a common last name.

[@waywardgun]

Maybe he's been listening to some crowetry with Robert De Nircrow

[@KojimaMadeMeGay]

His parents made him watch a movie every night. What do you expect? Lol

[@OJEPICFANCYSAUCE]

I read this comment before watching, then during that segment this was all I could think of xD

[@TMV420]

Kojima's clout is undeniable. We're looking at a game with George Miller as a character. Director of Mad Max, Babe: Pig In The City, and Happy Feet. so weird and yet so on brand.

[@firehawk12164]

"we are entering the second act of the trailer" hit me so hard

[@SidPhoenix2211]

Death Stranding lore, distilled into two sentences: A kind act by the Extinction Entity unintentionally created a fundamental upset in the balance between life and death, called Death Stranding. Sam, a porter, must make deliveries and connect disparate survivors living across a desolate America so that humanity may try and prevent their extinction. That's the best i can do lol. The game's lore DOES make sense, but there is a LOT of it.

[@TheLupinator]

6:56 one of the guys at Digital Foundry said this exact thing when they first revealed Stellar Blade and he got destroyed in the comments lmaooo

[@KillianC1C2]

I need more Kojima in my life I love that he is just taking corporations money and making stuff that actually says something and is interesting. It doesn’t vibe with everyone and honestly more games should go down that route rather than trying to appeal to everyone.

[@xbotnpc420]

💀💀💀

[@KabbalahSherry]

100% agree 😌 I'm never bored. Ever. lol

[@BUGHUNTER6]

I love it in horror games when the protagonist goes 'WhAt ThE fUcK?!' everytime something scary happens, it really gets you invested

[@TheSecondAdam]

The 5 figures in the Original Death Stranding, were the 5 "Friends", Heartman, Die-Hardman, Deadman, Fragile, and Moma/Lockne".

[@TheSecondAdam]

The names are horrible. And all they do is vomit the same exposition, over and over till your ears bleed.

[@DualAnalogReviews]

I thought they were the 5 previous extinction entities? Or did I make that up?

[@Cronicrisis]

​@@DualAnalogReviews they are/could be. It's unclear.

@@MrMightyZwe had Coldnan in Peace Walker, didn't see that much butthurt over it

[@deletedwaffles]

Kojima can't get away from having factions with members having codenames.

[@smuert]

Love Bruce leaving the zoom call 2 seconds into law talking about death standing lore

[@dresterbigsby7657]

Death stranding definitely makes sense in the end. There’s some open ended mysteries, maybe. But on the whole?

[@batman7827]

I think because The Beach still exists in some way through Earth, there are lots of things that should be rectified.

[@Thanasis1248]

For some reason i laughed so bad with Bruces comment about the Machinima after party

[@DerangedCoconut808]

Finally more of the genre that is Kojima

[@Based_Moose]

I'm worried about Bruce's first experience with Silent Hill being the remake cause it's very different from the original that made it great.

[@bingbong6066]

Wait, the ps5 has games???

[@AndroidOO3]

Judas is the Ken Levine game that is supposedly going to use his very interesting narrative gameplay system that he gave a dev talk about that that I'm VERY excited to see implemented

[@ChuBamPow]

During the (very long) Stellar Blade trailer, the thing I noticed even more than her shiny bum was the amount of different outfits she had! There’s over five completely different outfit sets? And the details seem insane. The Barbie lover in me is pleased.

[@MrGanjie]

"When is it too much?" This is the only drugs I'll O.D (pun not intended) on Kojima's games

[@Veradun99]

I mean, the magic left hand is a good system.

[@BuddyChy]

Can’t wait for Stellar Blade!

[@DojoManic]

Don’t say “on the beach” 😂

[@Zer-ty5gx]

Why is the crow in death stranding 2?

[@infernoeagles5812]

Kojima games especially death stranding is one of my favorite ones and I really do think that you are to create your own true meaning within the general sense of the game 😂😂😂 I spent like 120 hours in death stranding and it’s goofy game but it’s a awesome game

[@harryr2431]

Dammit Bruce, with DS2, I know it's a bit too much, but I still love it. The gameplay is good AND it's gorgeous.

[@rat8294]

I love that steller blade is just nier but with more dress up

[@BuddyChy]

I never played Nier so I’m excited for Stellar Blade. I’ll plan on playing Nier afterwards

[@roddynem]

Lawrence dropping a mega spoiler at the end for 'Death Stranding' was a bit sudden

[@solastro5595]

I recommend watching a long youtube video about death stranding 1 story if you don't want to commit to play.

[@t-rexreximus359]

The guitar axe was one maverick step too far for me 🎸

Tekken has insane shit in it but a Kojima game is too much?

[@deadhead4077]

Sorry I missed the love stream with ya guys, had to spread the love around since I watched Xbox with you. Y'all should really consider collabing with Nick Collandra editor in chief at second wind, the rebirth of the escapist channel. They do great gaming and gaming news content and have super level headed takes like you guys and are super brave like you guys. Would totally be cool to see y'all do a collab someday.

[@historish165]

i'm wondering when Kojima's marketable weirdness becomes as uncomfortably cringe as nu-metal. Guess as long as he keeps doing it and has fans for it - never.

[@Kawayolnyo]

"When will the audience would finally go "this is ridiculous!" in regards to all of this?" (c) Way too late for that, since that very point was reached (and firmly stepped over) in Policenauts, which was a point of the "auteur" showing first signs of actual insanity. Ever since then, the so-called "audience" been only fueling up Kojimbo's schizophrenia further, instead of institutionalizing him and trying to treat him.

[@Chooch1080]

Its my personal opinion that Sonic should stay pixelesque in art style. And be a 2D platformer. If Sonic wants to do a 3D game. It should be something in the vein of Persona or maybe Animal Crossing. I have never seen a 3D Sonic game where the fast movement looked good or cool. But hey, thats just me

Every single PS exclusive game since 10 years ago has felt like SEGA, 1990's... I hope not, but they seem destined for a comeupance. I'm not saying xbox is anywhere near better. M'f's damn near selling ass to get bandwidth for the upload. I 100% am an american gamer. I have had zero interest outside of spiderman recently for sony. Even that isn't enough to get me to buy the PS5. If my son wasn't such a hardcore halo fan, I never would have bought an xbox series x/s. I was a ps4 fan and an xbox one fan, but I've yet to see the point in buying either of these m'f's consoles when I pay less on our two PC's for games. Not sure if this fits into any narrative of the video, just had a thought and started typing... High Five!

Kojima: Blurring the line between "artsy" and nonesensical clownery 🤡 Fans will eat it thou

[@NateArchibaldWithTheFro]

For real. He’s got some really good ideas but the execution is lacking. He needs a great writer and editor and people who’ll say no around him

[@henryzweihander8282]

Isn't the genuine over the top bluntness the whole appeal?

[@NateArchibaldWithTheFro]

@@henryzweihander8282 I think Kojima thinks that but I don’t think that’s the case. I don’t know sometimes it works but most of the time it falls flat for me. Like, in MGS3 you call to save, and then for ten minutes she spouts off about watching Godzilla. Like STFU I know who Godzilla is dude

[@MrShibaMX]

@@henryzweihander8282 if your between 12 and 15 in that hormonal phase, when you are edgy and have "deep" existential thoughts I suppose so

[@henryzweihander8282]

@@MrShibaMX You do realize Kojima has been making games for decades and that there may be fans just out there having fun with it while being old enough to be your parents, right?

[@deletedwaffles]

I loved the Metal Gear franchise but Death Stranding especially this sequel is too pretentious for me. It's really no different from all the mumbo jumbo jargon and convoluted plotlines of Metal Gear which can get too much in those games. Just all the cool military stealth espionage is stripped away from Death Stranding.
