The Worst Parts Of Death Stranding The Sequel Doesn t Need

While many players loved all that it had to offer, Death Stranding continues to be divisive among players who did not catch on to its unique brand of gameplay. That isn't to say that the original is perfect, though. These are some of the things that should not return in a Death Stranding sequel, ranging from the game's human enemies to repetitive gameplay and finicky transportat


Hideo Kojima, creator of cinematic games like Death Stranding and the Metal Gear series, among other titles, is often described as an auteur of video games, because of his enigmatic style and the artistic vision he brings to creating playable worlds. Judging from the leaks surrounding his latest project, Kojima might also be described as an auteur of hype, for the masterful way he has built interest around and enthusiasm for his games without actually confirming anything. This is clear from his handling of the Reedus "leaks," which may not even have been leaks so much as carefully scripted reveals orchestrated by Kojima hims


A simple variation on missions can be a big improvement for those looking for a change of pace from Death Stranding 's walking simulation and cargo management . Perhaps the player has to retrieve a package from BT-infested lands or has to eliminate a particularly strong BT threatening a route. Maybe another Mule had to drop their delivery and Sam has to pick it up and finish it. Anything to change up the mundane formula would be much more fun for those that need the change of pace while ultimately not affecting the overall feel of the g

What makes Cyberpunk 2077 somewhat stressful is the bountiful content, occasional glitch, and the fact that every district has an enemy determined to kill the player . This does not stop Cyberpunk 2077 from being a great experience, as it heightens the sense of survival in this cyberpunk dysto

There’s an infiniteness to No Man’s Sky . Within the game is an entire universe with limitless galaxies and planets for the player to explore. No Man’s Sky had a rocky start, but the developers constantly provide the game with brand-new and free updates. These updates are brilliant and keep the game new and fresh. However, the overwhelming aspects of the game make it pretty stress


There’s so much beauty in Death Stranding . Not only from the open world but for the emotional connection to other characters. This does not stop the game from being stressful, as they play as a glorified delivery man, trying to deliver parcels to people who are hidden away in bunkers while the player fights MULEs and


A gun is a practical weapon in itself and has been featured throughout history. Most sci-fi adaptions of a gun just turn them into blasters. Yet, in Gears of War , there’s a notable lack of blasters. Instead, guns are far heavier, because they have a fully functioning chainsaw attached to the bar


Subsequently, on Twitter, Kojima cryptically revealed that " The answer to ‘WHO’ at TGS will be in the next ‘WHERE’. " Internet sleuths quickly determined that the silhouette in the poster belonged to actress Elle Fanning, suggesting she might be one of the actors to appear in a Death Stranding sequel . This was confirmed soon after at the PAX Australia event by Game Awards host Geoff Keighly, who tweeted that Fanning would indeed appear in an upcoming Kojima game. Based on the poster and Kojima’s subsequent remarks, many observers believe this game to be Death Stranding


In the end, observers hungry for facts are left with little more than rumors and teasers. Death Stranding 2 seems like a sure thing, based on the hints dropped by Reedus, Keighley, and Kojima himself, dating back over a year, and the recent document leak is just one more piece of the puzzle. But none of this is confirmed, and even the existence of Kojima’s **Death Stranding 2 ** concept art doesn’t guarantee a sequel is underway. Kojima’s next project might be something else entirely, with rumors of a successor to his older work called Silent Hills also circulating. The truthfulness and reliability of these claims, of course, will be proven in due time. For now, Death Stranding fans will have to continue to read the tea leaves, hoping for something definitive about the game’s possible seq

Not only is there a vastness to the map size in Elden Ring , but there is no real motive or direction other than what the player makes of it. The enemies can be extremely hard to fight , and quests are obscured. As such, players need to figure out their own jour


A devastating infantry weapon, Fat Man is a hand-held catapult that launches a portable nuclear bomb . It fires "mini-nukes" from the shoulder, and weighs as much as it damages. The weapon is greatly effective at taking out targets, but players need to be cautious of the area of effect, considering it could kill them


Clues that **Death Stranding 2 ** is in development have been appearing for months, with fans of the original Death Stranding and its creator, Hideo Kojima, trying to squeeze every possible drop of information from what are very often cryptic hints and leaks. First, there was a comment in September 2021 by actor Norman Reedus, who did the motion-capture and voice acting for main character Sam Porter Bridges in the first Death Stranding , saying that a sequel was in negotiations. Then, in May 2022, Reedus casually mentioned in an interview that production on the second game had already begun. This was followed by a teaser from Kojima Productions that a game was in the works and then, most recently, a leaked document from PlayStation that seemed to confirm it.What all of this adds up to, though, is a great deal of uncertainty. Death Stranding (and its Director's Cut gameplay fixes) was a popular if not divisive, successful game that won a lot of nominations, awards, and acclaim for its developers, in the United States, Europe, and Japan, which would suggest that a sequel is likely. And it does seem undeniable that a Death Stranding 2 is in the works, judging by the sheer number of rumors and leaks that have surrounded the game over the last year, some of them apparently perpetrated or at least encouraged by Kojima himself. But few details about the game are known, and even fewer have been confirmed by people close to the project.

Along with Reedus, other Hollywood actors and celebrities made appearances in Death Stranding , and rumors have pointed to the possibility of other familiar faces (or their motion-cap renderings) appearing in the sequel. A brief review of what is known for certain about Death Stranding 2 , what is hinted at, and what is hoped for can help bring Kojima watchers up-to-date on the status of his latest proj
