90% of that is the jump ramps (you run in and it launches you) and a high level upgrade to the stabilizer that has little jets that are supposed to keep you upright but apparently act as an ad hoc jet pack if you abuse it just right
that and the cargo cannon, function of which is pretty clear

Maybe I'll go back one day, this probably is the pinnacle of Art Games, also it's deeply, deeply funny. If you don't get it, that's very much on you
Bit worried Kojima will leave the medium behind now people are giving him movie money

I suspect Death Stranding 2, or whatever it ends up being called, will have gameplay that’s more than subtly different

Yeah I bet
But this one is like Buddhism Simulator or something, can't imagine where he'll go

oh that’s the stabilizer! i was wondering how i finished this thing without realizing there were jet packs.i would like to go back to this - i’ve done the lion’s share of special deliveries. i put so much work into my ziplines though, do they really degrade in real time? not a fan of that at all! Really one of the very best games ever.

OTM. Pretty much every element of this game is hilarious.

Is it worth me playing through this game again to access the Directors Cut stuff? I have my saved game from when I platinumed it a couple of years ago, but loading it up most of my zipwires are dilapidated and I'm kind of disoriented with the landscape. Curious about how the DC plays out, but not sure if it's worth my time just for the additional stuff

I would love to play this game without all the annoying black shadow creatures that I die to every time

hah, I missed that Kojima also announced ANOTHER game, in the "action-espionage" genre for Playstation
so he has three games in the works

The DS2 trailer is appropriately batshit.
I love how grim and and serious everyone is in these worlds. They're impervious to the absurdity of the universe they're situated in. It's similar with the Souls games, except when Miyazaki injects humour or goofiness into his games, you can tell he's letting the player into the joke. With Kojima, every line is delivered with deadpan sincerity, like every word is the most important thing anyone's ever said. It gives the eerie impression that Kokima himself doesn't realise how ridiculous his games are.

'On The Beach' is also a pretty funny title

Because that’s the one place you won’t be if you’re playing this game

It worries me that he described his other new project as half movie / half game. I’m just not interested in exposition

its nice that this has a the joker, are their jokers in all universes, something to think about

That guitar battle looks real dumb

I mean, Death Stranding itself was a third movie, two thirds game. I'm really not sure the dial needs to be moved any further

every kojima game has something goofy involving a guy using a toilet

The mobile version adds another level of difficulty to the game. I made it to chapter 1 though
