It's ok to like this game and its ok to dislike it but can we all agree that we should've killed Fragile with our motorcycle in the beginning? Game would've been WAY better.
Also stay safe with that COVID-19 shit going on! Hope you guys are enjoying your stay inside lol I'll try to put out more videos while this shit is going on. Keep your spirits up! Don't you dare go hollow.
How long does it take to write your scripts?
Didn't she teleport away? She does it many times throughout the game.
Same goes to you! Hopefully you put out more cool videos!
you look skinny did you lose all your gainz? sad.
@@vanquese8947 It takes a hot minute sometimes. For these reviews, I tend to continue working on it as I edit the video and write revisions which I record later and put in
I play this game everyday, since I work at the Post Office.
all the creative freedom he had and this
@@kevo300 Actually that's the issue. He was given all reins and a buttload of money. What did he do? Spend majority of budget on A-list actors (mind you he barely afforded Kiefer Sutherland in MGSV on a 80 milllion budget) and reduce a workload of animation as the act man pointed out. Which is why game came out relatively quick. End result: Sony got dissapointed in sales and will hand Kojima a much smaller budget for next game and hopefully someone to keep him in line.
@@dratanagaina8292 exactly I really wanted this game to succeed but all of what you said plus the lack of good gameplay really disapoints
@@dratanagaina8292 Biggest reason why #konami gave him the 🥾 Kojima needs to stop pretending to be a Hollywood producer and make a half decent game. It really does suck he failed this hard, given 😔 all the fan base he had...

do you have DOOMS? have you got a BB? you should really use those zip lines for URGENT and FRAGILE delivery. I've built them for you all over the mountains
"post-apocalyptic", where "post" refers to a national delivery service.
Underrated take
And it's in America so it's a USPost apocalypse.
So basically Kevin Costner’s “The Postman”?
😆
[insert political take about lobbying and how it ruined a once great postal service in the 80’s]
Something I've learned to appreciate when it comes to Kojima is that if you just accept the goofiness, you're WAY better off.
When I first saw those monster energy drinks I just thought "Of course Kojima would do that" and went about my day.
I then proceeded to do actions in the mirror for a good 5 minutes because Sam is such an awkward goofball.
i agree, i accept metal gear solid allowing me to outwit high level security personnel by hiding and moving around in cardboard boxes like im scooby doo and those games are all time greats. i can certainly accept someone who walks for a living drinking monster energy lol
Could you imagine how someone like him would review JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? lol
A big reason I love Kojima so much is the blend of absurdity/cringe with genuinely badass and interesting storylines.
D riding for free
Something I've learned with Kojima is that is you simp hard enough for him you will overlook literally anything and still call something a good game
The one part about this game that I'm interested in is the nature. I wish someone took the map and the graphics and made a Long Dark-style wilderness survival with it.
Wilderness Survival sounds good.
Same. I'm amazed by the Icelandic like setting, even though it's supposed to be America, and would love a survival game in this setting.
@@WeekndWarriorrr which America North or South?
Imagine someone just coming by this guy while filming the beginning.

I would've commented on the terrible acting. I mean that first fall? Obviously forced. My enjoyment of the entire video was completely ruined from that point
Then there was an explosion.. until there wasn't.
They were talking about the extinctions life has experienced. The next 'explosion' was meant to be [redacted]. They werent speaking literally
I see what you did there with Destiny 😂
I could tell you...
I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain
@@-pressxtostart- these morons are just extremely low IQ
I made fun of this game from the first hint of it, and when it came out for a year, I mocked my friends for playing it. Then I played it, and I couldn't have been more wrong. It turned out to be an experience I will never forget for good not bad, go figure...
The more you learn, huh?
>mocking their "friends" for playing a video game
absolute clown
Man I didn't like the game for the start but as soon as I got to episode 2 when you go to the rest of the world it gets so good
"I made fun of this game from the first hint of it, and when it came out for a year, I mocked my friends for playing it" So the biggest ahole in the room was you... put in his place at the end.!
@@dagowowwhat about h games?
for me this game scratches an itch that like, no other game does. i love the feeling of planning out what i need to bring on my expedition, plotting a route on my map, following along as best i can or suddenly having to adapt to an unexpected variable, the feeling of taking a break halfway through where you find a little nook or cranny where you can let Sam rest and at the same time, get up from your chair and go make some food, then come back 15 minutes later and continue your journey..
nothing beats that.
as much shit as it gets, I'd honestly take out-of-place Monster sponsorships over microtransactions any day
100 % it was weird but so was everything else in that game, i love some, hated some but overall a very enjoyable game
Both are stupid. There is no reason any game should have sponsorships or microtransactions.
We can choose to accept neither. Crazy concept, I know. He could have at least turned the logo upside down and called it "Wonster" like how a lot of anime will do "Dr Pebber" and "Kuka-Cola", we all know what they are but it is diff enough to not be copyright infringement
@@seanm8496 idk man, for some reason after playing FF15 I bought a new tent and some Cup Noodle 🤣
Yeah, it almost had some comedical flair to it
Actually picture this for a moment: imagine the hiking sim aspect of Death Stranding but put it into World War 1 and you are a runner.
That would be awesome! ngl!
literally same game an yet people eat it up...dude bros are idiots
Still boring and bad.
There was that WW1 section in the game.
Kinda like the one mission in bf1 ya I'm down for that maybe a good indie dev will pick up on it
Avatar: The Last Airbender has a nice twist on the "protagonist isn't familiar with the world" writing trope: Aang *is* familiar with the world, but the world has changed around him, so that challenges his knowledge and lets us experience it while he does too, but avoids having us go "wait he grew up in this world why doesn't he know it?"
I have a feeling this concept would make a good movie if done right
I always like to think Kojima is a Film Director before he's a Video Game Designer.
@@thephilosopher7173 That's actually his dream job. He never wanted to make games, he wanted to make movies but could never get into a film school so he found his way into the game industry through his job as a writer that later got him to be a director...that should explain why Kojima over-sells what his game can be: because he really doesn't know the technical aspects of how to create a game, but knows how to write overly-convoluted plots (the complete oppositve to John Carmack).
Yeah
Oh yeah just watch a guy deliver stuff for a few hours. So great.
Of course it would. He makes movies then remembers people have to actually play it.
Me when Death Stranding was announced: "What the hell is this game?!", also Me after Death Stranding is released: "What the hell is this game?!"
If you don’t understand the game after playing it, your joking. It’s very easy to understand,
@@DDPunk18 No, the story is convoluted.
While playing the game: What the hell is this game?
After finishing the game: What the hell is this game?
Lmao that was my reaction
@@DDPunk18 If it's so easy to understand then explain it. Unless you didn't get it? 🤔
people keep saying “this game ain’t for everyone”
i think every game’s just like that.
True. Perhaps they're trying to say that Death Stranding is particularly niche though.
Certain games are obvious who they are for (fps, rts, turn based, RPGs, racing games, and sports games). I would say this game is a walking simulator but it is not obvious to a lot of ppl because of who made it and the fact there is guns, survival elements, and horror elements.
@@mBowK the game is really fascinating to me... its really calming when you walk around "america" and when the music starts, it really sucks you in
@Azazel There's 9 billion people on the planet. I'm sure you aren't the only one. I wouldn't call him a genius so much as a creative revolutionary. Just his Metal Gear series alone pushed the boundaries on genres (invented stealth action), cinematic cutscenes, character development, and storytelling. There's hardly a blockbuster made today that hasn't been at least a little (and sometimes a lot) influenced by his work.
There is a lot of 'Japanese' cheese that makes it a lot harder for the western audience to get into his games. That said, they are all very poignant for many different reasons. Metal Gear Solid was one of the very first cinematic fully voiced video games in the industry. Kojima was one of the first that bridged the divide between video games and the big screen. Beyond pioneering this, he also has pioneered the stealth action genre of games. He is one of the most influential names in the industry along with many other greats. That said I understand why his games turn off a lot of people, the same way that Anime is highly beloved world wide but almost always makes me cringe when I watch it.
But where his genius lies to me, is his direct dissection of Western Culture, and tackling deep themes that are systemic in our culture and affects the rest of the world. He's an incredibly intelligent and learned man, and most people that can get through his games from beginning to end will quickly figure that out.
Death Stranding, I personally thought was a masterpiece. It's one of the few games in the last five years I was able to finish from beginning to end. Had an incredible story. But mixed between 40+ hours of exploration gameplay I can see why it turned many people off.
The beginning of the video sums up the whole game perfectly.
@@oingo2880 I got it pre owned at game stop. And took it back a few days later. Game was so confusing and dumb. What are u a kojima fan boy?
@Oingo That not change this is not the good game
@@oingo2880 I wouldn’t say closed minded. It’s more of a preference/ opinion. Not my type of game. If u liked it awesome. Nothing I can say will change anything. I’ll give it another shot when it’s under 20$ on the ps store.
@@robertsoto5713 Obviously hes a kojima fan. He clearly likes the game 😂
@@ryanthomas2432 he said he’s not but most likely. Haha I’ll always have respect since he made mgs but death stranding was a bit much.
I love this game. It's so absurdist. I love that it can take you ages to get up a mountain just to fall all the way back to the begining. It's great, and I'm really glad they got to make the game they wanted to make.
So why is this lovable In kojima games but hateful and the annoying in others?
@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 It depends on whether the player experience successfully mirrors the game designer's intention, I think
@@Frosty-kz4om but you don’t know every developers Intentiond. Yet something like trying your best to climb a mountain, falling and starting all over would ONLY be loved in a kogima game.
@@cristobalbalenciaga7295 I think it's because the core mechanic of death stranding is terrain traversal, each mission you set out on is a sort of gamble between efficiency and failure. Do you carry less cargo to make the journey easier, or more cargo to make more money on the trip? Do you bring a lot of traversal tools like ropes and ladders and further overburden yourself or bring less and risk having to take a longer or more dangerous route around a mountain? The game was specifically designed to make traversal the focal point of conflict. I don't think any other game has done that before. So with most games if you fall climbing up a mountain it's usually disappointing because the challenge of the game is a dungeon or something at the top of mountain (i.e. the destination you are trying to go), not the journey of actually getting there.
@@CraigJS91 but you don’t know what the intentions of a developer are. The intentions might as well be both the dungeon as well as the journey to get there.
But again, when kojima does it, it has to come from a place of brilliance. But when an other developer does it, it’s nothing more than annoying/dissapointing
Death Stranding-the most accurate representation of the infantry in a nutshell; hiking for miles with shit loads of gear, caring for a baby that isn’t yours all while running entirely off energy drinks
If you watch 1917 movie, it has similar struggle that protagonist going through! Except 1917 is simple and understandable
@@hantumann4r449 1917 isn't as jarring and tedious as this game

Oh I love that series. The movie was underrated.
Never heard anything about that series, but I'd like to read it someday.
Man im just starting the game and they are blabbering about shit while i just want to deliver some packages with my baby and explore the world.

There are some games that I can’t understand another’s dislike for. Games I loved so much that when I hear someone with the opposite opinion, I’m flabbergasted and question their taste...
Death Stranding is not one of those games. I really enjoyed it myself and found it to be an interesting and engaging experience, but whenever I hear someone say they hate the game, my response is simply “...yeah, fair enough”.
Though love it or hate it, we all can agree the story is the pinnacle of Kojima’s pretentious nonsense
Please I wanna hear this. How is Death Stranding's story pretencious?? When you understand the whole story, you realize how genious it actually is
Have i seen you somewhere? Just curious
I like that it's the closest we've gotten to a legit Walking Sim.

I'm late to comment this, but I love at 19:30 that you added the poo mountain track from Conker's Bad Fur Day. :D
Dude, first time I completely disagree.
I understood everything based on context. And I knew the parts I was not familiar with would become clear. It's mystery.
It played something like this:
Tears, an Allergy. Ok so he is having an allergic reaction to.. Chiral?
(It's asymmetry in molecules so Sam is allergic to beings in a mirror dimension. So his Allergic reactions alert him to their presents, we wont know that. But might have heard 'Chiral' before.)
You have DOOMS like me?
Ok, "You have dooms, its either a disease, condition or super power. Lets see.
I have the extinction factor? Hmm.. doesnt sound good, shelve that. But she has him beat, so Sam has whatever this is. But she is clearly on a higher level.
Ok, so there are levels. Sam is at a level that allows him to sense them close by. Kindof hear/see them. But not See See them. Weird, ok.
But she can teleport. And see them. Ok, so how high does this go?
The anatomy is weird.
She's eating... Eww.. Ok, so eating those supposedly either controls the weather or is a way to treat its effects or something like this I assume.
No idea how you cannot follow. Its clear, yes there is alot you do not know. But the fucking stories conclusion isn't going to be handed to you. Clearly its complex, go along for the ride.
Every part of this game is a masterpiece if you get over yourself and just let the game wash over you. It blew me away over and over and left me speechless. I wanted to immediately play it again. But I wanted it all to be fresh again. I was sad that I could not experience it for the first time again.
That has never happened.
Bro dont bother, this guy already said “ac6 has no story lmao”, he reviews games hes never played
@@TuuguuSMD It's just frustrating. I love Death Stranding. And I am totally open to people straight up hating it.
I understand, it takes a bit of patients before it gets its hooks in.
But come onnnnnn....
Come up with a story that is REMOTELY as complex and interesting..
I'll wait.
It's one of very few games where the way the story is told has actually held my attention and got me intrigued right from the start.
This reviewer has no understanding of story telling at all. He seems to be unable to let his mind explore possibilities and allow the game to unfold over time.
Which isn't to say he's useless, just that his mind might be better utilised reviewing operating manuals for machinery or something.
The whole “Wouldn’t people be smart enough to wear masks?” bit of this video really didn’t age well.

That's why my strategy is not moving into the uncharted areas until I built the roads into it. The cost of resources for the road is nothing compared to the risks that come from riding blind into the unknown. The countless return trips will make the grindy road investments worth it. If the roads don't go into the secluded prepper camps, I can just simply hop off my vehicle from the closest road side, park under a time fall shelter, then leg it with a floating carrier from there. Much better than hauling back-breaking tons climbing steep slopes and crossing deep waters.

@@kennypowers1945 you are mistaken, it’s not completely obvious but if you zoom in during time fall gameplay the grass grows and dies, and there is also the time fall farmers who use the time fall to grow their crops faster.
This game is divisive because its core premise for gameplay is one that isn't really implemented to this degree in pretty much any other game.
Needing to plan out your route, adapt on the fly to changing terrain and storms (or bandits), and then successfully pulling off everything is a feeling of accomplishment I haven't felt in many games before. Yet just like going on a hike is in real life - it takes time and some effort, so if you're just looking for quick action you aren't going to enjoy it. The accomplishment is in successfully overcoming the minute to minute navigation and managing longer trips - without that challenge and without the constraints, there wouldn't be much to this game.
I greatly enjoyed this game, and I'm hardly a Kojima fan - I have yet to ever play the Metal Gear Solid games (though I have seen them played and am quite familiar with them indirectly).
It has some questionable decisions at times, such as how long it takes to do anything when resting in terms of long animations and the like. But the actual navigation elements are the selling point of this game, and only people who actually enjoy needing to plan out their moment to moment route and do pathfinding will enjoy it. For those of us who do, it's an extremely unique experience.
but you would get the same thing from just going on a hike, like seriously your not wrong but when you come home after work to have fun, do you really want to do something in a game that you could just do irl (I know you said that in your comment but still, it's a game and if you really wanted that experience then why not actually experience it). I respect your view on this, but even the route finding can be had in a lot of open world games, like Days Gone for example, and it's fun yes, but to make that into the entire concept of a game with a complete disregard for proper (and arguably interesting) story narrative seems like a bit of stretch.
Again no disrespect and I respect your opinion because what you have said is correct, but to have it considered to be a good game on par with other triple A titles is (again) a stretch.
@@noahrodricks5923 First of all, going on a hike requires going out of the house and finding a good spot. Secondly, going on a hike doesn't tend to involve you carrying ladders and other items with you, or jumping into vehicles on the fly to navigate, or dealing with mind-numbing horrors or bandits. It also requires you be in a certain level of physical fitness, and you can't take extreme risks because in real life you might end up falling off a cliff in a way you can't get back up from.
Yes, I want to do things in a game I can do in real life if the experience itself is enjoyable.
I don't see how you can argue that Death Stranding lacks a "story narrative," though. It very clearly has one of those, and it is brought together by all of your interactions and movements as you move through the story. Unless by lacking a "story narrative" you mean to say "I dislike its pacing," which is entirely subjective.
@@noahrodricks5923Dude have you Heard of the Sims or Farming Simulator 😆
@@echomjp No, I'm saying the pacing is shit and the game narrative is what you would call 'hanging off threads' which basically means that throughout the game it lacks key features that should be in any good story,
1. The villain does not have a motive for his actions, and is just said that he wants to see the world burn. The shit thing about this is that the line of who this comes from is in reference with the joker, actually had a motive in the dark knight, which was to prove the innate madness of men. Higgs doesn't have some secret motive like the joker, and he's not even looking for power cause if he really wanted to he could have killed Sam whenever he wanted, and he makes this clear as well. this meaning his reason for his actions being 'seeing the world burn' is a poorly written, cope-out for why a villain is a villain, like I could understand if he worshiped the BT's but he doesn't, he just controls them to a degree.
2. Sam, the main character has no real relationships in game due to his Aphenphosmphobia, meaning he doesn't empathise, he doesn't ever truly interact with anyone, and he doesn't have anything for the player to relate to expect maybe he loss, which is the main theme of the story, and yet there isn't any revelation to this nor him coming to terms with this, his simply completes objectives given to him. The curve ball of this is that he speaks, which doesn't make sense for the character they were going for. They should have either made him more relatable or had him a silent protagonist, not some in-between cause it doesn't work.

@@noop9k I farted on a tiddy
Kojima’s penchant for shoving important info into long audio logs instead of weaving plots organically has really soured me towards him as a writer.
theres a lot OF DIALOGE....and its tiresome. this is more for a movie than a video game. LESS IS MORE.
@@OscarMemo333 That too, these cutscenes still manage to be really long with a lot of dialogue yet about 1/10th of the important info you’d get just playing the main story in Metal Gear Solid. The difference is, finding stuff out during codec calls or cutscenes was impactful because it could effect or provide context to what you were doing right there in the moment. Now that stuff is during the down time, so it’s like “Oh, okay then. Sure, why not?” I hate to give MGSV credit for this, but at least the cassettes could be listened to during missions, even if it was more tedious than previous entries.
You know, sounds like this game starts way too late in the character's life. Should've just started when he was just starting out being a porter. Through his learning we can learn what that means and how the world functions, and witness the other things as we move a long instead of just having characters saying words.
But that's so cliche... it's nice playing a game consisting of well lived adults actually over 30.

Was against this game for the longest time till I tried it yesterday, honestly I'm glad I did. It's not the most enjoyable game you will ever play but it was really fun and I can't wait to play it more. All the goofiness and the curiosity to why things happen is what hooks me to it.
Information unraveling in front of you and then looking retrospect at scenes that confused you and understanding them is SUPER satisfying.

This is one of those games where I love and hate it at the same time. I love how fleshed out the world building is when you explore the game, the desolate environment and how players can help eachother worldwide. But I hate how they executed a competent story so poorly, and bafflingly. How they treated promising characters poorly by shafting their character development or with poor writing, and how overly pretentious it rubbed off onto me.
Also Fragile's performance is so stiff and robotic to the point where it started to bug me. Nothing against the actress.

I love this game, but I can understand why some people might dislike it or find it boring.

Above all, I've been a fan of Director Kojima since playing the MGS2 demo that came with Zone of the Enders.

@@MohitKumar-jf8lz dude, you are replying to my comment that the game is not innovative, and that it is merely walking... so, if you are trying to prove a point - then by all means provide some intellectual context to your argument other than "walking is innovative" if you really think that is all the game is, then its obvious you haven't played it because it is much more than just walking. In fact, just to rebut your comment, you're only forced to "walk" for the first 6-8 hours of an easily 40 hour game.. then you're able to drive, or fast travel. Tell me one other game that focuses so much on traversal? Not just moving around a map but careful planning and resource mgmt that if done hastily or incorrectly can literally leave you unable to clear an objective? That's innovation - never mind the myriad systems combining with each other such as the multi-player aspect while not entirely "new", the mechanics of other player structures and placed utilities in the world can mean the difference between completing an objective or not. The sense of community and teamwork. Go play MW2 dude stfu before I start doing your mom just to become your step-daddy and turn her into my sandwich making honey hole only to spite you... Son! :)

Why is Raid Shadow Legends SO BAD?!
Very few people have put in enough time to accurately describe why. I, unfortunately, am one.
It's actually really good on the surface. The "campaign" claims are BS but the RPG gameplay and stat-play is robust and allows for amazing customization, but the game is plagued by being just a complete shit-show cash grab with every single stat on every single piece and every single drop being randomized. You rely on crossing your fingers and hoping for hours and hours and hours to make progress with no garuntees, even if you drop thousands. I've played for over a year and put 1200 into the game, which disgusts me in retrospect, even though I still play to this day, but it really is nothing compared to the majority of the community. There are a few end game f2p players but they don't even come close to as strong as even moderate paying players. It has a solid community if you find the right channels to hang out in, and the RPG system is good once you put enough time in to collect a large amount of gear to sort through and play with, but it has a few major flaws that are inherent to mobile gaming that ultimately kill it for most people at the start.
But I also get that it's a meme at this point that people poke at because of the over-sponsorship on youtube. Most people haven't played it for more than 20 minutes or even at all and just love to hate it for the wrong reasons, even though it deserves to be hated.

Most people do not get it then its about connecting people and come together to safe humanity basicly helping each other and Hideo did great job with that, everything is perfect story, gameplay, graphics and most important actors acting.

So basically an interesting concept and story soured by a tedious gameplay loop. Maybe Kojima should go into filmmaking.
Considering that he's heavily inspired by it, I'm still waiting for him to make a movie XD
Well this"Bad gameplay loop" is the reason i bought this game, and love it xD
Hopefully not, his stories are total ass when he doesn't have folks to keep his rockstar attitude in check
You need to edit again... Kojima.
Jeremy Allen Ego more like.
Love your intro video bro made my day even my wife was laughing
The game answers a lot of these questions as you go along, but I can definitely see what you mean. Besides delivering packages, I thought this was one of the best games I've played...but not because of the gameplay exactly. The final chapters were incredible...the final bosses, the one scene where it's like an old-timey fighting game with Troy Baker's character, and the cutscenes. As far as the main character being unlikeable..I can see that as well, but I like that he didn't fit into the typical mold of a protagonist. Idk, I liked how odd and convoluting everything was...I also like things with a lot of dialogue/context. xD
It should have just been an animated film/series, then. It's like they have a good story, but couldn't be bothered with the gameplay, so flipped a coin, then span a few wheels, and it landed on post-apocalyptic postman.
Like, sure, liking it due to the story being good makes much more sense, but a game doesn't be need to tell a story in the first place/it's not what they're for. Games are mainly for the gameplay, stories have always been a secondary component after the story. People want to have fun controlling the funny man on the screen.
If the gameplay is awful, but the story is good, it's more just a glorified film.
Maybe, but I think fits more into the category of being a specific niche within gaming. To me, it was just another game with a different style of playing. It's not for every player. Idk, I didn't think it was a glorified film, just my take. I should've added that I did enjoy more of the gameplay aspect - building structures with other players, having a sense of connection, and delivering packages actually felt kind of therapeutic to me. lol@@maximusstorm1215
@@maximusstorm1215 I wouldn't say the gameplay is bad, but more so that the gameplay isn't conventional, it is inherently something that some people will despise and see zero appeal in, and some will absolutely adore, and I'm in the latter camp frankly.

"It's better to be simple and deep, rather than shallow and complex".
I truly do love Hideo Kojima, but he can get REALLY up his own ass at times and needs a good co-writer or producer with him to make sure he doesn't go off the rails. The world of this game is amazing, but Kojima is just not a good screenwriter so his characters and story just suffer because of it. Give him borderline complete control over a project as writer and director and this is what happens.
I was saying that since MGS 4, on one hand you have this and on the other open any japanese J"RPG" and listen to quality of dialogues and Death Stranding will be nothing out of ordinary.

The George Lucas of video games.
Agreed, he comes off as very pretentious and it doesn't help when people keep calling him a genius. He has an entire team that should be credited. While I loved the game and its fantastic world building. The story was full of exposition dumps and dialogue that is too on the nose. Not enough subtlety, it's a shame really. Having said that, I do think there are moments in the story that are really well done.
He reminds me of George Lucas, the ideas are great but the execution of said ideas is better to be left to someone else.
Thank you for the excellent and funny analysis, I agree with the points raised. For me, Death Stranding is a simulator, and it's not just a walking simulator. I think it's a trekking simulator with elements of delivering goods and construction, interspersing the use of vehicles in the process, as well as having combat elements. Of course, there is also the mission to reconnect the country by going from city to city to connect them in the game's Internet of sorts, the Chiral Network.
Death Stranding is essentially a game focused on management (the load conditions, the main character, the weight carried, the balance when walking when facing the game's physics, etc.), strategy (the best route to reach a certain destination, which is the best trail to move around the terrain, which equipment to use, which method to approach when dealing with enemies, etc.) and construction (of structures for the character to use to facilitate movement to the destination). Furthermore, the story provides the character's main mission, which is to connect all cities in the USA to a type of Internet, called the Chiral Network, essential for reconnecting cities and rebuilding an already devastated world.
I believe that playing Death Stranding adds a very rich learning experience from a cognitive point of view and a poetic and artistic experience. But, it is a simulator, which tends to have a simulator pace, that is, detailed, full of variables, which tends to be slow, focused on management and strategy, and it is not recommended to play in a hurry (as this makes the game boring). If someone can accept that, I think they tend to have a good experience.
Although Death Stranding has a complex story, it does not have an engaging plot and its development is quite slow. Furthermore, the stories involving the delivery points we need to visit are shallow, usually just involving the description of each location's supply needs. In reality, most of the time, Death Stranding proves to be a great simulator. The emphasis of Death Stranding is on the gameplay experience, on the emotions and sensations that come from there.
Therefore, the game really focuses on gameplay mechanics (as simulators in general do). Most of the time, we have to go from one point to another, whether to make a delivery or connect a certain point to the game's Internet (the Chiral Network), facing obstacles along the way, with scenarios taking time to change. Therefore, the game ends up becoming repetitive if the player's expectations are not aligned with the game's proposal. In reality, even though Death Stranding presents changes in scenarios and situations, the game's great variation lies in the variety of routes across the terrain that can be taken and the multiple combinations of equipment and tactics that can be adopted, and the experience of all this, with the emotions and sensations derived from that experience.
"Games, in general, are focused on dominating enemies. However, in Death Stranding, the focus is on mastering yourself, on managing resources well, on reaching the destination, on choosing the best route, etc., and placing appreciation in this process. Death Stranding is an experiment in self-knowledge. It is a game focused on experience, something that can only be lived, not transmitted in words." (excerpt transcribed from the video "Death Stranding: Misunderstood Masterpiece [SPOILERS]", from the Futurasound Productions channel).
Considering all this, I think the most important thing in Death Stranding is not the end, but the process of moving forward. With that in mind, what happens at the ends of missions is less important than what happens in the middle. The sense of progression in Death Stranding lies in improving yourself and increasing your own experience, helping others in the process. If someone can accept that, they tend to have a good experience.

To be fair, Kojima's been using product placement in games for years. Calorie Mate is a snack/energy food in Japan (tastes decent) and it's been in Metal Gear for ages now.

Death Stranding is what you get when there is nobody around to say "No" to Kojima.
Much like John Romero and Ken Levine huh?
Even if that's the case, I appreciate Sony giving Kojima lots of creative freedom for when he was making this game.
If this was Konami, that's a different matter entirely.
@hokurinn no when he lost complete control of it it was a catastrophe now the angry neckbeards are what made the prequel series a tragedy because they didn't understand simple thing in the story that made it good if they actually took time to think the series is actually pretty good the only thing I didn't like were the romantic cringe love scenes
"Yo kojima wanna make a shit game your fanboys will suck it outa your ass lmao"
Same with George lucas, there needs to be less jacking off the ideas of these guys, it happens all the time it doesn't matter who it'll happen, but since kojima is listening to criticism I'm sure he'd appreciate any criticism the fans would give him and improve the next game with less dialogue and more action.
Finally someone who isn't kissing Kojima's ass
can anyone tell me the backroom music definatly have heard it before, FF title.?
Imagine a world where Kojima made short games, he could do all his crazy shit, without a huge time and money investment for everyone involved, and get as experimental as he wants.
Here's some incredibly well received games, Limbo, Journey, Portal. I love those and I know I could burn through them all in one day if I felt the urge. Even if I loved MGSV I can't in good conscience spend that much time on it again, but damn I know I feel comfortable giving those short games my attention and time again.
Mike Fisher I’d like Kojima to make something like the dishonored games. Short, semi open world, but with a shit ton of options and super stylish combat.
MGSV was way better than those sooooooooooo :/
@@alex-ki5wm Hey you can feel that way, but I think MGSV was plenty polarizing enough to the fanbase. Personally Venom Snake is my favorite Snake, and while some people would say it is lacking in story compared to the others, but I like it for what is there. It has so many systems that the average player might never see once in a playthrough, so many tricks and tools that you'd be forgiven to call it replayable, but something isn't better simply for being longer. Avengers Endgame was 3 hours and as much as I was worried about that, it didn't feel like it. Pacing is important, and I think many games make the mistake of stretching it's content out far too thin. MGSV included, with a few huge mostly empty sandboxes full of kinda repetitive missions. Therapeutic in your best moods, monotonous in your worst. I do think it's all intentional, because the madman that he is, wants us to feel that long realistic somewhat mundane gap of time, and be "immersed". We have lives, and some amount of time is too much to ask.
(probably like reading my response to that very short comment)
tldr, Imagine a sandwich made with an entire loaf of bread, that's a Kojima sandwich in this argument.
ivliked journey but it was short and the ending was Good mixed with dissapointment
Word around the block is that Kojima and Sony are in the talks about rebooting Silent Hill(s). So at least we have that.
