Somehow they managed to make the game look even stranger than the first one, which I didn’t think was possible. I remember trying to watch a playthrough of the first game and it was a bit too out there for my tastes already.
I think it's a textbook Your Mileage May Vary game (pun mildly intended if you've played it). You have to have the tolerance for Kojima running wild and doing his thing, and it only works if you are engaged in the core gameplay loop, but if both are true, it's easily a 70+ hour game. The Director's Cut was the second game I ever took the time to Platinum.
I don't think this trailer will sell many new players on the experience if they weren't down for the first one, but I'm excited to play the sequel. Seems like it's going to land some real gut punches.
Really? I I couldn't make sense of it till I played it myself. It's pretty grounded for the most part. There's a lot of exposition that explains everything.
That’s part of Konima’s appeal. His game stories are always over the top and out there on purpose.
