Repetition in games, why it works sometimes and whynit fails other times.

 Ok, I've been playing Death Stranding 2. It's same old, but better. Kinda like Megaman 4 is the same thing as Mega Man 3 but better. 
Thwre are differences between SFII, SFII', SSFII, SSFIIT, and USFIIT. They're literally the same game... but not really.

Repetition can work on shorter games... not so much in longer games. Especially when the creator has a YUUUUUUUUGGGGEEEE Ego.
That's the problem with death stranding 2.

It's trying to be Death Stranding 1 2.0 with a Lot more Metal Gear Solid. 

Just as Metal Gear Solid is Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake 2.0 and MGS: Sons of Liberty is Metal Gear Solid 2.0... Phantom Pain is Peace Waller 2.0, so... Death Stranding 2 is trying to remind people that Kojima did Metal Gear Solid.

I'm close to the end and I already guessed the obvious plot twist. 

 But Solid Snake in Rainbow Six is not in my bingo cards.


Hideo must be pissed by his creation being whored out.
