It’s a pretty practical weapon against enemies, but how it works just makes no sense. It’s a foam finger that practically disintegrates body parts. In the hands of many, this weapon could take over entire planets, all whilst being entirely comfortable thanks to the foam padd

This kind of scenery is more akin to what one would expect from Iceland. It has had its landscape uniquely shaped by millennia of volcanic activity and geological forces that have created steep mountains and deep fjords. This comes as no surprise, as Kojima's travels have taken him to the tiny European country, which is also where he discovered the music of Low Ro

Due to Deadman’s creation, he has no beach and no place to go when he dies. Considering how fun Deadman was as an ally, it would be a shame to not see him again, especially when he deserves some form of payoff for his creat

One motivation the AI in Metal Gear Solid 2 provides is that the digitization of its 2011 setting promotes frivolous information, harming society's collective knowledge. When everyone has a platform and there is an endless choice of what information to consume, trivial things have as much reach as significant or tragic events. This has now become a reality as social media promotes an ever-present 24-hour news cycle, whereby things move on and off of a carousel of information so those who disseminate information can maintain relevance. In some ways, MGS2 foresaw this trend that was precipitated by the move of news to online platfo

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

Despite the power of this weapon, one has to question what it was created for. In what world would humanity need a weapon that is capable of shooting a hole into the surface of Mars? The BFG9000 is too dangerous to be a practical weapon in war, as casualties may be from every s

Later, the AI argues that a digital age also promotes misinformation, suggesting ideas go through a process of natural selection in the same way genes do. The problem arises that most people prefer information that confirms their existing views, and therefore select only for those views regardless of their validity. It summates this as a world where "no one is invalidated, but nobody is right." Some have likened this part of MGS2 to the creation of echo-chambers on social media, wherein communities are made up of people who agree on issues. This leads to things like arguments over fake news, which has cropped up more often in recent ye

Some vehicles are pretty difficult to turn with, and drifting is practically impossible. It would be a great addition for Death Stranding 2 to include not only more vehicles but better ways for them to drive and st

Trust it the genius Hideo Kojima to come up with such a silly weapon for death stranding 2 crafting Guide Stranding . The game requires the protagonist, Sam, to go to the bathroom and bathe. It turns out that Sam’s bodily fluids can be used as weapons against the mysterious threat of the BTs. This includes his toilet wa

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

The driving in Death Stranding was surprisingly smooth. Considering that wheels could get stuck on rough terrain, or the long winding roads across America that the player had built. Perhaps the biggest issue with vehicles wasn’t the fact that other players would abandon their rides in annoying locations, but the steering itself of said vehic

This analysis seems compelling, yet the AI is clearly still malicious. As such, it has been compared to the Cambridge Analytica scandal of the late 2010s that had the falsely righteous aim of improving society. The Metal Gear antagonist's real aim was censorship and control of information, just as Cambridge Analytica's data was used to push targeted campaigning for Facebook users. Additionally, it was doing so for the Patriot's aim of covertly controlling society, while Cambridge Analytica was covertly using power for far-right political campaigns. Kojima's story highlighted the dilemmas between security and freedom in data privacy long before it became a common is

While settings are important in most games, it is the main attraction in Death Stranding . Although there are enemies to contend with, including terrorists and MULEs, most of a player's time will be spent attempting to navigate the dystopian terrain without damaging their precious cargo. Sloping mountains can lead to Sam Bridges tumbling over , and rivers are impassable obstacles until players find the right to
