Love it. Kojima doesn’t give a F. :respect:

The puppet doesn’t want to end like Mimir in God of War, front please :laugh:

As someone that grew up reading fantasy and Sci fi. Kojima is like Heinlein for Gaming. That scene was crazy. The thing is I never was into this Game until I got it for free. It is a real experience for Gamers with Open minds. .

It must be symbolic for something. I've defiantly never seen a guitar/sword/gun before.

I love it. That whole scene was peak Kojima, like something out of Metal Gear Solid. Embrace the chaos.

Ever heard of Brutal Legend?

Well guitar is called an axe since ages...

yeah not a fan, its just....idk too silly, some visuals look mighty impressive but if they just ditched some of the extra weirdness/comic relief, like the gloves from the lady and joker guitar guy it would be better.

Incredibly I finished the first one. Not gonna lie I had more fun in this UPS simulator than I thought I would. :laugh:

CheapMeat · Feb 4, 2024

I love the aesthetics of the first game and the trailer here but never played it myself, and even after watching people play it and someone explaining the story, it was like...too much.... But it definitely looks cool and interesting. I'm digging guitar man because it's ridiculous and I like how the character looks.

trsttte · Feb 4, 2024

I loved the first one. I was never a metal gear kojima nerd but damn, the game is beautiful. Even the boring walking parts, the style and calm of it... It's a different style of game.

Probably buying this day one, I hope they don't launch it against GTA 6, Death Stranding will certainly loose bad in sales numbers but I have little doubts it will be a much more interesting game (and a lot more polished, I bet GTA 6 will be a mess at launch like it has become the norm)

The catch is these companies actually research what sells and what does not. Part of it is artistic creation but a lot of it is just raw cold marketing.

Still playing the 1st one on/off on PC.
Pretty interesting game and concept.
