Art? New genre? Convoluted plot? A game by the guy who made MGS games? High score for that? How dare they! They are surely wrong! It cannot be good because reasons unknown.

Laughing Laughing

Here is a review for you :

"Death Stranding is an irredeemable piece of garbage that should serve as a warning to publishers who give developers carte blanche to create โ€˜artโ€™."

https://stevivor.com/reviews/death-stranding-review-dead-arrival/

I guess someone needed attention and clickity-click bait Laughing

Also, they gave Outer Worlds 9.5 Laughing

I would say the same about Papers, Please and Disco Elysium. That doesn't mean that those games aren't great.

No one said it cannot be good, but the disparity between the content of the reviews and the scores at the end sure leads me to believe that Kojima's cult of personality is at play here.

Man I am so glad I waited!!! I was keeping my PS4 Pro only because of this game! I was thinking over the last few months why all the trailers and small gameplay videos were so short and they were not very clear on what the game was really?
Now I see it is a walking Sim!! Great graphics and story but a walking Sim bottom line!
So now I can wait for a deep sale on PC even to purchase it....hahaha

PS4 Pro for sale with four games and a couple installed!!! Hahhaa

That is actually funny because from what i see there are definitely more of Kojima-san haters than fanboys Laughing I ain't talking just about the forums here.

Wait until everyone knows that one of the task in the game is actual pizza delivery Laughing Laughing

But back to the point - every reviewer is subjective and it's only fair and understandable. It can be occasionally funny though Laughing


"There's no review of Death Stranding in the next issue of Edge because the embargo insisted we finish the game before we could review it. Print deadline was a factor, but we ran out of enthusiasm long before we ran out of time."

I "almost" feel sorry for people who've been hyped up during 3 years to the point of exploding only to end up with a disaster like this. Laughing

(I've never played a single Kojima game except 30 minutes with the first MGS for PC ~20 years ago which simply wasn't my cup of tea).

MGS games were fine up until mgs4 included.

Problem was mgs5 and even that metal gear game with raiden, then it became shit.

Well, I guess this game is what will determine whether Kojima or Konami is to be blamed for MGS5 sucking balls overall.

Maybe Konami reigning Kojima in is the only reason MGS was any good haha.

I mean yeah he did exactly what Konami feared he would do again: blew millions on hanging out with his Hollywood buddys and making a completely nonsensical game about them, lucky for them it's Sony's problem now Laughing

That said i'm pretty sure the game will sell well on hype alone so whatever.

Could still be decent tho? I mean Euro/American Truck Simulators are literally about being a truck driver and looks boring as fuck in videos but the games are nice for some chilling.

Well, in theory the idea of focusing on the travel part itself by adding much more mecanical complexity and details to simple traversal is a good one.
Consider that in a game like skyrim the gameplay does essentially boil down to holding W for some minutes until you get to a certain location with loot, kill everyone, loot some garbage and walk/teleport back. I dont see how that is more fun tbh.

Guess they can't do that because the game to them is work (a review). They want this work to be smooth, they want to know when they might be finished etc. When they can't they get frustrated, stressed, annoyed etc.. Yeah i bet that must be a fun way to play a game like this Laughing

Death Stranding: Hideo Kojima explains his new game

Death Stranding: A reaction to 'Trump and Brexit'

"President Trump right now is building a wall," Kojima tells us.

"Then you have Brexit, where the UK is trying to leave the EU, and it feels like there are lots of walls and people thinking only about themselves in the world.

"In Death Stranding we're using bridges to represent connection - there are options to use them or break them. It's about making people think about the meaning of connection."

"Caring for each other is what makes people feel good. We've always been like that in the past.

"I want people to remember that and feel it in my game."
Oh yeah, this game's a keeper.

And for sure the black shadowly things dragging you down do the ground represent the oppressive Chinese government wanting to control everyone and turn him into a mindless shadow.

If he wants to use politics at least go all-in instead of going with the safe narrative "orange man bad" and "brexit dumb".

And where did he say that? His message is just it's better to connect then to build walls and divide which is definitely not wrong as a German with family in the east i fully approve of it.
