DEATH STRANDING - Spoiler Thread

Ahh. Then i truly apologise.
Just a little worn down from people giving me shit all night, ya know.
Yep, i expected spoilers but everything i read is just a boring over dramatic upset about something.
It's just the same person doing their thing. It happened in the past Kojima thread.
The people who were pointing out the fuckery weren't being over dramatic. But rather the people complaining about those of us rolling our eyes at the scene.
I didn't have to be like this.
Who, me ?
how so ?
Yep, embargo thread was just closed due to their shenanigans
My shenanigans. How ?
Don't make accusations you can't back up.
And if you truly believe that, report me.
How is accusing me of getting the embargo thread closed. And you not bothering to look for the description of the scene in question, even remotely the same ?
It didn't need to go this way at all.
let me try to steer this thread back on track here and ask if anything happens post game? though it seems like we won't be getting any spoilers for a while until maybe November. Maybe we should lock this thread until then?
Yeah I'm expecting him to be some zany comic relief in the more grounded game.
Though, i will say. A wee bit disappointed that Kaz's Japanese voice actor is dubbing Conan. Rather than an original prepper.
I hope it's more than just one mission we do for Conan.
Btw, during TGS, Kojima talked about a crucial character that he wouldn't reveal like the others he did. I don't think he is talking about those side quests VIPs because there are plenty of them and you can't say one is more important than the other.
Does anyone know who is that crucial character to the game?

You mean the defunct Satoru Iwata? Why would he include him? I don't think so.
Last I heard, he was busy being dead. But maybe his schedule cleared up?

So, as I imagined, her name is due to her body condition.
I'm pretty surprised Sony allowed this amount of sexual content through with Death Stranding. Didn't they say that it was their goal to "shield and protect children from things they might find unpleasant?" Did they remove this policy? I'd hate to think that Sony's firm stance in favor of protecting children could be so easily compromised by a big name like Kojima. I'd also hate to think that Sony has different standards for games from developers outside of SIE. That would be a pretty bad look to stand on moral grounds against this type of content while allowing their published and internal studios to publish the same or similar content, apparently without consequence.
Not sure how that relates to her body. Sounds to me like a description of what she does. As In delivering fragile products/supplies. Did I miss something.

Death Stranding is rated M. If some children see some shocking content, the responsibility lies with their parents, not Sony. I'm glad they do not force such a censorship shielding themselves with some "care about children" bs, because that's kinda low and pathetic.
Sony has requested or has been alleged to have requested Capcom alter the sexual content of Devil May Cry 5, which was also rated M. What I'm alluding to is Sony Japan president Atsushi Morita saying:
Now I'm wondering if Sony has abandoned this policy of sanitizing M-rated games for children, or perhaps there is an exception carved out for Hideo Kojima or maybe an exception carved out for Sony-published titles that third party publishers are not privy to. Did Capcom not pay the "freedom of expression" fee in their license agreement? Why are Hideo Kojima, Kojima Productions, and Sony themselves allowed to publish content that they would inhibit in other works?
But DMC5 was patched later on to include that scene on PS4? and many western games had full nudity without any censorship (TW3, Bioware games, RDR2 etc..). I always assumed the "censorship" was about Japanese games with sexual content of underage girls.
It seems that Sony's content policy is a more recent thing, after the release of Witcher 3 and such. Although to be fair, I did not conceive it to be an East vs. West thing. That may be the case, but it is odd that they are willing to demand content alteration from Capcom and let a Hideo Kojima game slip by without such restrictions. This makes me think Sony's content policy is for companies that aren't Sony, apparently. Unless there is another explanation that isn't able to be gleaned at this juncture? Are they charging a "freedom of expression" fee in their license agreement like I exaggerated?
RDR2 was last year, and DMC5 now has that scene after it was patched in a couple of weeks after release. I don't believe Sony ever tried to censor these games. It was always about underage girls in Japanese games unless I'm missing something?
DMC5 was released in censored state though, and only after fan outcry and exposure did they remove it. I don't think anybody really knows, aside from Sony Japan's president's stated purpose to "protect children." TBH It seems like it might be more that big time publishers and developers are exempt from this policy altogether, so the notion that Sony is doing all this to "protect children" is complete hogwash. I'm not what the real reason is though. All I know of the cause is the effect.
But the fan outcry about "censorship" existed long before DMC5 and Sony didn't budge. Not to mention the PC version of the game was also censored in the same way so Idk how you can be sure Sony was the reason when other version of the game had the same censorship (which was fixed a couple of weeks later).
And again Sony didn't censor any game with nudity related to adults. Sony problem lies with Japanese titles with underage content so unless you have an example of a game that doesn't promote pedophilia (and isn't dmc:v which didn't just involve the ps4 version) I can't see how you can assume Sony have problem with all nudity.
I wish we could get more teaser shots like this. Just Sam sitting around different environments. I don't care for story spoilers, but I love stuff like this.
