"I'll Keep Coming." | Death Stranding, A Kojima Productions Thread

I could ask the same question with Quiet's mission I just finished.

She was forced to speak English, yet you're telling me they didn't have Code Talker on the line like literally every other time? I suppose the storm dimmed the coms though, so that makes sense.

Nevermind the fact Venom Snakes calls in the helicopter every single time by just pressing a few buttons on his iDroid, but apparently that wasn't a thing when Quiet picked it up.

She was in the middle of a sandstorm, the chopper couldn't see them to pick them up without her guiding them.

Besides that, she'd never used the iDroid before, which makes sense because she was technically still their prisoner. Why would they let a potential spy use such a powerful intelligence-gathering tool that contains all sorts of information they wouldn't want any of their enemies knowing?

I said it onece, I'll say it again; How did he just pop into boss's frequency like that?

The Codec could work like a walkey talkey, where the channels are open to anyone.

He tells Snake he's changing frequencies, then blocks Big Boss's

What's so bad about mgs4?

It retcons a lot of the series in ways a lot of fans didn't like. It's clear Kojima only made it at the behest of his fanbase, since he had planned to end the series with Sons of Liberty.

oh this is the one i use

It's associated with MGS4, so I instinctively find it annoying >.>

>instictively

Come on, now. I know you didn't realise how shit MGS4 was until you watched matthewmatosis's review.

I thought they were more secure than that?

I dunno. Jim Houseman took over Campbell's frequency. Liquid took over Miller's, technically.

This.

Additionally, what's there isn't executed very well. I could forgive retcons and fan service if it goes somewhere interesting with it as a result. But it doesn't.

Yeah, but houseman just walked into the room campbell was in, didn't he? I can'r remember it very well

And technically Eli just impersonated miller sooo

That's not how coordinates work. They put the coordinates down, sending them to the chopper, the chopper then has the coordinates that it is supposed to show up at, coordinates are not something that changes when a sandstorm roles in.

So, how did she communicate with Big Boss the whole time they worked together? She had to have had one or something. Seeing as how she was with Cipher beforehand, she should have experience with that kind of technology.

I don't think so because the codec works with the nanomachines, I think. Hence the small vibrations in the ear and such.

I dunno. I'd have to look into it more. But a small retcon could fix it all.

hm I always thought of it as if the guys on the intel side of the team had a bigger set up and didn't use nanomachines to talk, but I'm probably wrong lol

I know that the guy (forget his name) in MGS2 prompts you to use nanomachines instead of vocal communication.

And if IRC all the FOXHOUND members have nanomachines, which explains how Liquid is able to impersonate Miller.

That's not how coordinates work. They put the coordinates down, sending them to the chopper, the chopper then has the coordinates that it is supposed to show up at, coordinates are not something that changes when a sandstorm roles in.

Ah, but these are not mere coordinates, these are Kojidinates. They don't work in sandstorms.

So, how did she communicate with Big Boss the whole time they worked together? She had to have had one or something. Seeing as how she was with Cipher beforehand, she should have experience with that kind of technology.

She had a radio, of course, but that isn't the same as working an '80s iPhone.

Why are you suddenly into Rising, what did I miss

I was like the biggest MGR fanboy on Bungie and nobody understood my love

It's 80's tech, I'm pretty sure anyone could understand it.

TIME TO LEAVE THEM ALL BE-HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND
BREAKING OUT OF MY PAIN
NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED
I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW

'80s tech generally didn't include 3D holographic touchscreens or scanners that can read ink and burn it to memory. It's clearly not just another radio.

Just like everything made in the 90's can be fixed by smacking it a few times, anything in the 80's can be used by a small child. This is the way things are, accept it.

Come on, now. I know you didn't realise how shit MGS4 was until you watched matthewmatosis's review.

Actually when I first played it, the whole Zero and friendly companions as TRUE ENEMIES never sat well with me. Ever.

I feel the games Kojima did exclusive writing for was a meh job. MGS 4 and 5.

And I know he has a lot of fallout with Konami which affected things, but does anyone feel Kojima got kinda up his own ass about his writing skills towards the end?

Him thinking Quiet's reasons for being justified is stupid, and a lot of MGS V's dialogue is terrible seeing as he fired the guy who did the localization for MGS1. He wanted more direct translation, which really made the dialogue suffer if you ask me. I always felt MGS1's dialogue flowed the best.

Well, Eli did pilot Sahelanthropus, so I think I see your point.

i know i posted blasphemy

Does anyone else feel that we had a drastic cut in cutscenes as a big "fuck you" since people (rightly) complained about nearly 8 hours of cutscenes footage for MGS4?

Well, Quiet, like many things in MGSV, had a good reasoning/thinking behind it, but was just not executed well. I don't know what Kojima spent all his time doing, but I'm sure he could've been able to do better than he did. Whether it was arrogance, perfectionism, mismanagement, or some combination, something got fucked up. And I struggle to believe you could put the blame on the time restrictions he had.

It was the monetary loss Konami was suffering that caused them to cut so much. Instead of throwing more and more money at a product that would have to sell a copy to everybody on Earth just to break even, they rushed it and threw it out the door as quickly as possible.

I know, but surely they could've done a better job with the time and resources they still had. It was still a $90-something million budget, right? With the right staff and work methods, you think you'd get more than what it turned out to be.
