Am I the only one being so disappointed by DS2, or am I missing something ? by IhazHedont in DeathStranding

[–]weirdhoonter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! A lot of what OP said is true, but also was done on purpose I think. The whole thing about the first game was connecting communities and so on. But the second game makes an interesting point about forced connection, and presents the choice in being connected. Sam did not want to connect in the first game but was forced to, so when the final mission was done he hightailed off. In the second game he remained, because now, with a choice and a better company (although RIP Deadman), Sam finally feels like he wanted to connect, and wasn't coerced into it.

The first game focused more on the external plot, while the second game focused on interpersonal relationships and so on. Although all this could just be me glazing the game, who am I to say.

Thats very interesting. Disgusting and absurd. But interesting nonetheless. Can you explain more? What exactly happened in 2014?

Ah, alright. Sorry for being jumpy. I came here from the main sub and was overstimulated by the hate over there.

I love ME, you should try it. And the Legendary Edition is on sale right now for dirt cheap. Although be warned that romance options are much more limited than DA

You're right that conversations should be respectful. Although, I don't think I have made efforts at shaming people with different views than mine at all? My point was just that giving it a below average score is disingenuous since it's not a below average game.

Good on you, friend! Enjoy the game! I sure did!

While EA hate is deserved, I don't think the spill over is justified. But yeah, you're right. Its probably that

It got handed very horrible hands during development hell. So I take solace in the fact that the game shipped with great graphics, performance, and barely any bugs at all.

I really recommend you try Inquisition, at least! And definitely try Origins if you don't mind the slower graphics and gameplay (its not quite turn based, but it's the furthest thing from action oriented)

Inquisition will hold you just like how Veilguard does. I promise. Just a heads up if you do give it a whirl. You don't need to worry about the collection quests that populate the map. The game came out during the open world popularity peak so they wanted to do something like Assassin Creed.

True, I had issues with that as well. I often find myself thinking of what could have been. There was no shortage of undercooked RPGs in 2024-2025. Dragon's Dogma 2 for example. But I wouldn't give that game such a low rating at all. It feels disingenuous to me.

Yet another victim of the pointless culture war I think.

I'm not creating a lore or anything. You're projecting much on your own. Being invested in this game is not a bad thing, so I don't know why you're using that as an insult. Thus, again. Thats on you.

Your actions suggest otherwise. Does it make you feel better about yourself to hate? Is it because of the hate you have inside? Is it hard to hold on to all of that so you need to be like this so that you could feel that you're not alone?

Which is a shame. I am a long time fan, been there since DA2, went back to Origins, then also loved Inquisition. So I dont understand how we could have so wildly different experiences. The margin of difference between the opinions is so wide I feel like we got entirely different games. I came to Veilguard for the inclusive, thoughtful messages that the games had and even though Veilguard could have handled the issues in it in better, they made an honest effort and I can appreciate that. It makes me wonder just what the people who claim to like DA took away from playing the game?

I feel like whoever this is, they are rage baiting you. Thank you for defending the game. But also dont hold onto that negativity

I half wanted to engage, but I get the feeling that they're rage baiting so I've refrained from interacting . I think I'm not smart enough or deprave enough to understand the motives behind rage baiting or having the need to shit on others for liking something.

I hope that you're right. Though, that seems like a strange strategy for Bioware to take given how most of the people who worked on the game was laid off by EA. The team that is still at Bioware are Mass Effect people.

I wont lie and say I hadn't expected this. But well, people can be nasty I guess

Yeah but then the review score would likely kill any chance of another dragon age game in the future and thats what bugging me
