It’s pretentious, cringey, nonsensical, and so far up its own ass, yet it’s also honest and heartfelt in what it wants to be, and we need more games like that in the triple-A space. Death Stranding 2 could enhance everything its sibling managed to achieve or result in something entirely unique, and I’m more than ready for either of those possibilities.
(Image: https://picography.co/page/1/600)Numerous titles from the eighth generation attempt to evoke powerful emotions and say poignant things about human life. Much like literature, video games are grappling with philosophical questions, moral conundrums, and attempting to untangle the human condition. One of the bestselling titles of the last generation was Red Dead Redemption 2 , a game that frustrated several players due to its slow-paced gameplay. However, if one is willing to immerse themselves in Arthur Morgan's cowboy life, they will find a complex story that interrogates morality and mortality, and how humans cope with b
As video games continue to evolve, they further prove how much of a high-form artistic medium they are. Many video games innovate themselves in great ways, from intricate combat to beautiful and fluid animation. Some games deserve praise and recognition for the painstaking effort the developers and motion capture actors have put into these love letters for fans to experie
Video games can test reflexes, raise adrenaline, offer up a challenge, and provide a way for friends to have fun. However, video games have also shown themselves to be quite proficient at delivering stories, and with each gaming generation, the medium has been getting better at it. With the eighth generation of gaming, which includes the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, gamers got to enjoy a plethora of games that pushed the medium forward in all aspects, especially in terms of storytell
Released in 2019, Death Stranding was the first game from Kojima Productions following Hideo Kojima's split from Konami . Both its gameplay and story were markedly different from Metal Gear Solid , moving to a post-apocalyptic walking simulator rather than a military sci-fi stealth game. Where MGS focused on political and militarist themes, Death Stranding was more concerned with human stories around themes of loneliness and ident
Even Sam's experience during Death Stranding became a reality for some. Sam seldom receives suitable rewards, or even much thanks from those he delivers to, despite being plunged into dangerous situations repeatedly. This matches those who put their lives on the line for delivery and sanitation purposes, employees were applauded as „essential workers“ despite rarely seeing improvements to wages and working conditions. In a way, Sam reflects the performative praise, yet material injustice faced by such workers during the COVID-19 pande
The eighth generation also brought Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding which, although eccentric, managed to highlight the importance of human connections. The game was released in 2019, and it seemed to come at just the right time, as much of the world would soon find themselves struggling with isolation and loneliness when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Quantic Dream also released Detroit: Become Human , which imagined sapient androids living alongside humans, and in doing so, the game questions the basis of personhood. Though gamers are divided on whether the game succeeded in what it attempted to do, the ideas contained are thought-provok
The game's story has been likened to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, even though the pandemic's effects weren't fully felt until months after its release. Protagonist Sam Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus , works as a „porter“ who delivers goods and services to Americans, in particular connecting them via new networking technology. It's unsafe for anyone to leave their home due to the dangerous weather phenomenon called timefall, and fans have pointed out the way this bears a resemblance to lockdowns that much of the world was plunged i
The President of the United Cities of America and the Director of Bridges has quite a burden on their hands. Die-Hardman has a lot of responsibility and a lot of guilt for his past. He is a character that deserves to continue his path on the force for good, as he tries to connect all of America, and perhaps one day, the entire world. His goals are for the betterment of mankind, and he truly doesn’t want anything evil to come of
Considering that Lockne is now one with her sister, and their goals align, it would be great to see the character continue her journey in Death Stranding 2 and to further develop great technology for Sam to use as he ventures in his most dangerous mission
As one of the creators of the Chiral Network, Lockne is an incredibly intelligent person in Death Stranding 2 missions Stranding . What may seem confusing initially, is how identical she is to Mama. However, this is because they are twins, and connected in more ways than their physical appearance. Lockne and Mama become one, sharing a mind and b
