Jeff has a .0001% chance of finishing this game. This is everything he hates stacked on top of each other and multiplied by 1000 and for the length of a game.
As for being surprised how "animated" Kojima is. He definitely is a lot more so when speaking Japanese. He had a short-lived RUclips channel where he discussed movies with another guy. He came off as kind a of a joker and a jovial guy. Definitely not how you see him in his Western appearances.
It's actually really hard for Japanese people to speak English since the language doesn't translate word to word as it's not of Latin origin. So I would understand if it is a lot harder for Kojima to articulate and express himself when communicating with western audiences where he relies on a translator, a delayed conversation probably feels a bit less natural so he wouldn't be as comfortable. His personality shines when he is speaking his own language because he is more comfortable and more familiar with his own culture.
Oh so Skyrim but no magic, you have to babysit and instead of simple carry weight which was annoying as it was now you have to deal with the actual objects. Fuck this shit
I'm kinda all in on the idea of a big money AAA game that is all about traversal and the intricacies of managing an inventory of goods. I'm super glad it's being made. I'm also SUPER curious to find out how long time MGS fans receive it.
Long-time MGS fan here. From what I am seeing of 'Death Stranding', I know that Kojima is going to pull an MGS2 Raiden on us and show us 'that which we are not seeing'. Long-time MGS fans know what I mean.

I love me some MGS but i fear Kojima jumped the proverbial flaming sky shark
uuuuhhh.......how many hours of cassette tape exposition was in MGS5? like 20-30 hours? how many hours of dialogue heavy cutscenes have been in Kojima's games overall? and that was, at a base level, a rather understandable spy/covert ops story with a bunch of added crazy/magic layered on top. how much exposition is going to be required to make this any sort of coherent?
@@umphreak9999 i think he meant on the trailers and promotional content department. Kojima showed a lot of core gameplay elements, showed some actions and interactions that the player will probably be facing on every playthrough, but with zero context and only very specific mentions to the plot in a gameplay context, and not even the die-hard fans can extract anything from it.
I don't know about the rest of you but this game looks awesome & it's the exact kind of weird, confusing & unnecessarily complicated game I'm looking for:) Go Kojima & your weird brain!
With all the likes and stuff this seems like some weird meta commentary on the state of social media and how we as people treat each other in that lens. Or Kojima is just nuts.. whichever. Either way I've had to choke back the tears since it's hit me so hard.
You know that phone game where everyone had to dig to a core? Is that a strand game? God I need to be able to watch Jeff complete this game. It's all I want.
After watching this I get the impression that the experience for people who play through in the first week and those that play through a year after release could be vastly different. Does that improve replay value? What does that mean for reviewers? If there is a heavy reliance on using other people's buildings and supplies people who play first will be at a disadvantage. I guess they will also receive more likes for their equipment. Maybe it evens out in the end?
From what Kojima said in the second half, you can only use other people's stuff after you've connected the map chunk to the network - i.e. when you're backtracking through areas you've already been to. Everyone's going to have a fairly similar experience when venturing out for the first time, the question is how it's going to be the second time they move through an area. Also, the real problem is probably going to be when you play two years after everyone else and all their buildings have deteriorated into nothing. And those people who are forced to play offline for various reasons will have it a bit tougher as well.
@@Atropos148 Not neccessarily - note how Kojima made a big deal about how buildings degrade if you don't actively maintain them and thus you won't have a landscape completely covered in structures (which would kind of ruin the game's aesthetic). If the game is good we'll see people playing it for a good while, though - you can still raid FOBs in MGSV!
The Reliance on other's people isn't something that is the games fault but more of a possibility that come with complete freedom in games, the online isn't obligatory, like kojima stated some years ago, so it's obvious that you can perfectly beat the game with no ones help. I see this online interactions more like "incentive" to community building, since kojima repeatedly reinforced the idea of "bringing people together"
@@Gemini476 Exactly this. Also, they mentioned that the things you build degrade over time unless you (or others I assume) make the effort to maintain them...so I imagine the buildings/items/packages people drop or place that are not as useful or popular will all eventually just whither away. The REALLY interesting part is what they all said about paths/roads/highways eventually forming over areas that get used heavily.
What is so hard to understand? It's a game where the world has become completely torn apart and people are ultimately completely alone. The game is about making connections and despite being alone there are ways to leave items, build facility, place signs to help out other players who are traveling the same areas as well as show appreciation to the people who have. There will be parts of the games which will require the community of millions of players to contribute to helping each other beat it....it is clearly a commentary on the increasing social disconnect we have as a species and in our need to work together and remain connected on a global scale as a means to save ourselves. It seems pretty straight forward to me.
The blood is unique, probably, because he has the "extinction factor." It was alluded to in an earlier trailer when he talked to Fragile. And judging by the other trailers it is clear he is unique in that he can come back to life after dying. Not that this explains everything, but why is that such a problem. Thank god I don't know about every aspect of the story before I play.
The best way I can get a feel for what this game can be like is to compare it to dead rising's survivor rescue missions. Sure they may sound simple but the survivors themselves (packages), and the journey and routes you take all while avoiding zombies, soldiers and looters (BTs, Mules, Terrorists) make it fun, with Death Stranding of course having a richer story as well as a pseudo-multiplayer element where players help each other out. The building part (Inc. Freaking highways) sounds promising. I'm also interested in how the story explains the fact that there are multiple Sam's running around.
This thing about leaving your stuff for other players is genius. It makes it really naturally collaborative and makes getting overloaded not a problem, since stuff you leave behind won't go to waste. I really dig all this - I'm a person who likes helping others, so I personally can imagine myself playing this game completely differently than others - not by achieving my personal goals, but helping other's achieve theirs.
Video games are about control, simulation, and interaction. Love how this is exploring how the outer bounds of what we traditionally want control over (aiming, shooting, moving, reloading, positioning, observing) to a whole lot more. Whether or not that whole lot more is to your tastes, is beside the point - Kojima is just giving you more and pushing the medium further than any other triple-a is for story, character, and directorial expression. There aren't many games which reverse-break the fourth wall when you manipulate the camera and your avatar reacts to its master by covering up its crotch.
Thank you! Their reaction is so annoying! Even childish. They're not really interested in it, fine. But don't make fun at it. Anyways loved the game. Kojima killed it
I've been following these guys since the Gamespot days, but they seem so jaded lately. Rarely see them getting excited about stuff anymore, a game here and there at max
I'm honestly more interested in this than his past games, I feel like it could be a chill experience with some story. Mad story, but thats the part of his past games I enjoyed.
Great thumbnail.. At least someone is steering GB in the right direction..a few arrows here and there, and a few red circles highlighting random things and you're golden
The more I see of this game, the more this gnawing suspicion grows in the back of my head... what if this game sucks? What if Kojima got way too self-indulgent and let his own hype get the better of him and got himself surrounded by a bunch of yes-men? It's as if he scrapped together all the cute, funny antics that would normally be side dishes in his other games and built a game out of it, which would usually go well with an ass-kicking main meal... but the main gameplay seems to be about being a glorified delivery man. I've loved this man's work since 1998 but man.. I'm worried
I mean, this is his moment, right? He's been miserably making metal gear sequels for decades now, and now he gets to make the game he wanted to, without anybody to tell him no. This is the game that determines whether Kojipro is gonna be a big thing, and whether Kojima still has a career. Heavy stuff.
@Reconsider your position ahah "concern trolling" :D I'm just saying what I feel after watching nearly an hour of gameplay --- it seems boring. Others also happen to be saying the same thing. It's not because I'm "scared" of new approaches in gaming, that's just you delivering a stunning KO on a poor strawman. Take for an example, MGS 4 vs MGS: PP. Two same shootey mctootey shooter games, but the latter was much better received. Why? Because it was more FUN. No Man's Sky. Ambitious premise, none of that *plebian* driving on wheels or playing football or shooting. Boring, almost universally panned. Why? Because it wasn't fun, that's why. I'm worried because what this gameplay footage showed is a whooollee lotta micromanagement, Norman Reedus idolatry, running from A to B. Sure, the designs, the characters, the world building, the lore --- all amazing. But we've been here before...
As odd as so much of it is there are plenty of elements of successful games in there. It's not much different than an exploration/survival game at it's core with you mostly just traversing and managing your needs. It seems like it is going to have tons of extra stuff to do on the side and interesting/difficult places to see that will require multiple "Strands" to accomplish or make easier. It looks incredibly compelling to me, but I often enjoy games with those kind of genre elements.
It really depends if there are any ramifications for killing someone. The hazmat dudes are going out of their way not to kill you when popping you between the eyes would be easier than just shocking you.
Basically, if anything dies it becomes a BT, if a BT kills something, a explosion occurs and create a giant crater on the map, and according to kojima it will be permanent damage. Now we just don't know if killing something will automatically become a BT, like on a gameplay level.
People really love to deify Kojima but Jeff's reactions kind of mirror my own. I'm getting a lot of FFXV vibes of a designer going "the player WILL do X" but thinking that way wont make it that way in practice once its out in the wild and his typical gimmick bloat seems to be the overwhelming majority of mechanics and it just doesnt look fun so far.
I can't remember who said it, but it was spot on. These look like neat touches around a great game, without seeing the great game at the core. The part whe Sam punches the camera echoes MGS1 when you stare at Meryl for too long & she complains. It shocks you when it happens. These things are hidden details that brought the game to life in unexpected ways. It's very odd seeing the gameplay demo being a showcase of that sort of stuff. That sort of stuff are details for the player to discover, not slapped on the promo footage. While I'm still intrigued, I've got to admit my hype has been deflated. I don't play many games, but I play them to death. I was hoping this game would be one of them. For me this is the game between God Of War and FF7R. That is to say, it's got a lot to live up to.
"That sort of stuff are details for the player to discover, not slapped on the promo footage". Kojima actually warned people from his twitter that what he showed at TGS will be spoilers. So he suggest not to watch the demo for people who wants to play DS without knowing anything outside the basic story.
The focus on exploration/survival over action is actually pretty interesting. I'm sure it takes a while to memorize all the mechanics of the game, but it's nowhere near as confusing as these guys act. "what's going on lolol omg"
As a 20-something year old woman, I was still like "what the FUCK is going on", so that's for sure not something to blame on them. The game just has some weird shit in it. Not to mention this demonstration is 70% looking through the menu and explaining small mechanics rather than the overall exploration/survival thing. They're not confused on the main gameplay, they're reacting to shit like "your bloody pee is collected and used as a weapon, here have some Monster™ and look at Norman's feet".
I stand on the side of it being the respectable branch of youtube thumbnails. GB's format kind of looks shit on a thumbnail no matter what, so I fully support them in this effort. I just think it's a shame that someone has to manually make it.
Eh, it's not that clickbaity at all. It's just an edited thumbnail. Hell if the video had a normal RUclips generated Thumbnail it would still have all of them making weird faces since most the video is them being confused. Jarring for a Giant Bomb video to have one for sure though lol.
guys stop complaining , this a revolutionary game , something new that we ve never seen before . well i know that there is nothing revolutionary in the gameplay or new but kojima said that its a revolutionary game so it has to be .
Kojima lovers will love it regardless, Kojima haters will hate it regardless. But if ever a game needed a playable demo, it's this one. Not an early access "demo" attached to a pre-order, I mean a proper demo, one short playable delivery. $100.00 is a lot to spend on faith and reviews alone.
Weaponized bodily fluids, Peeing on mushrooms, crotch cam. I haven't laughed this much in a long time :) Impressed that Jeff could keep a straight face there at the end. I understand why he needed to.
I think new story based single player game is very rare nowadays and should be celebrated. Even more so if it is original. I will take unique story and gameplay instead of everyday lootbox shooter
Day 1 for me. I've played tons of FPS, TPS, RPG, sports, puzzles, racing, VN's, fighting, etc. But i've never seen games like Death Stranding which is good and people should be happy that there still developers like Kojima who can pump out games that looks different / unique.
I was so psyched for this game when I saw the release date reveal trailer a few months ago. I was eagerly looking forward to November. Since then, the more footage I see the less interesting I find this game. I'm hoping that it does well and turns out to be a great game, because we need new unique IP's in gaming. Please don't mess this up Kojima...
Even on konami, his games were never that popular(i mean on a mainstream level) and for a long time metal gear were very niche games, it was MGSV's that made a lot of people be introduced to metal gear. Maybe this time he will get more numbers but i don't expect to have big numbers

As for being surprised how "animated" Kojima is. He definitely is a lot more so when speaking Japanese. He had a short-lived RUclips channel where he discussed movies with another guy. He came off as kind a of a joker and a jovial guy. Definitely not how you see him in his Western appearances.
It's actually really hard for Japanese people to speak English since the language doesn't translate word to word as it's not of Latin origin. So I would understand if it is a lot harder for Kojima to articulate and express himself when communicating with western audiences where he relies on a translator, a delayed conversation probably feels a bit less natural so he wouldn't be as comfortable. His personality shines when he is speaking his own language because he is more comfortable and more familiar with his own culture.

It's as if he scrapped together all the cute, funny antics that would normally be side dishes in his other games and built a game out of it, which would usually go well with an ass-kicking main meal... but the main gameplay seems to be about being a glorified delivery man. I've loved this man's work since 1998 but man..
I'm worried
Kringy I think we all should be...
If it sucks that it. Is a game.
I mean, this is his moment, right? He's been miserably making metal gear sequels for decades now, and now he gets to make the game he wanted to, without anybody to tell him no. This is the game that determines whether Kojipro is gonna be a big thing, and whether Kojima still has a career. Heavy stuff.
@Reconsider your position ahah "concern trolling" :D I'm just saying what I feel after watching nearly an hour of gameplay --- it seems boring. Others also happen to be saying the same thing. It's not because I'm "scared" of new approaches in gaming, that's just you delivering a stunning KO on a poor strawman.
Take for an example, MGS 4 vs MGS: PP. Two same shootey mctootey shooter games, but the latter was much better received. Why? Because it was more FUN.
No Man's Sky. Ambitious premise, none of that *plebian* driving on wheels or playing football or shooting. Boring, almost universally panned. Why? Because it wasn't fun, that's why.
I'm worried because what this gameplay footage showed is a whooollee lotta micromanagement, Norman Reedus idolatry, running from A to B. Sure, the designs, the characters, the world building, the lore --- all amazing. But we've been here before...
As odd as so much of it is there are plenty of elements of successful games in there. It's not much different than an exploration/survival game at it's core with you mostly just traversing and managing your needs. It seems like it is going to have tons of extra stuff to do on the side and interesting/difficult places to see that will require multiple "Strands" to accomplish or make easier. It looks incredibly compelling to me, but I often enjoy games with those kind of genre elements.
2022 year of the strand-like-lite
This is the most interesting game that I'd never want to play.
I’m stoked for this game. Clearly lots of you are not. It cool.

'this is a lot...'
'but also nothing'
that's it right there
the warning that gamestop has to give when people buy it
They say there is a thin line between Genius and Madness. I'm thinking Kojima crossed the line.
Not everything is for everyone.
It really depends if there are any ramifications for killing someone. The hazmat dudes are going out of their way not to kill you when popping you between the eyes would be easier than just shocking you.
Basically, if anything dies it becomes a BT, if a BT kills something, a explosion occurs and create a giant crater on the map, and according to kojima it will be permanent damage. Now we just don't know if killing something will automatically become a BT, like on a gameplay level.

I hope, i want that compilation of day one head shots.
People really love to deify Kojima but Jeff's reactions kind of mirror my own. I'm getting a lot of FFXV vibes of a designer going "the player WILL do X" but thinking that way wont make it that way in practice once its out in the wild and his typical gimmick bloat seems to be the overwhelming majority of mechanics and it just doesnt look fun so far.
I can't remember who said it, but it was spot on. These look like neat touches around a great game, without seeing the great game at the core.
The part whe Sam punches the camera echoes MGS1 when you stare at Meryl for too long & she complains. It shocks you when it happens. These things are hidden details that brought the game to life in unexpected ways. It's very odd seeing the gameplay demo being a showcase of that sort of stuff. That sort of stuff are details for the player to discover, not slapped on the promo footage.
While I'm still intrigued, I've got to admit my hype has been deflated. I don't play many games, but I play them to death. I was hoping this game would be one of them. For me this is the game between God Of War and FF7R. That is to say, it's got a lot to live up to.
"That sort of stuff are details for the player to discover, not slapped on the promo footage". Kojima actually warned people from his twitter that what he showed at TGS will be spoilers. So he suggest not to watch the demo for people who wants to play DS without knowing anything outside the basic story.
Great reaction and damn, can't wait to have my DS Collector's Edition, I hope BB got some sort of light o.o
Watched the whole thing. I now have a headache and feel slightly nauseous. Mission accomplished Hideo.
Best game forever
A shit, piss and blood cocktail is the strongest weapon in the game. Just like real life.
The more I see of this game the less interested in it I am.
I was really hoping the musician would be Gackt. No stranger to video games himself.
wtf is the overwhelming confusion about this game? the dude makes grenades out of his pee and poo, is that so fucking hard to understand?
Was very interested in this game but after watching that I'm not so sure anymore.
Like most Kojima games, it's hot garbage. But now it's hot garbage without a franchise to prop it up.
The focus on exploration/survival over action is actually pretty interesting. I'm sure it takes a while to memorize all the mechanics of the game, but it's nowhere near as confusing as these guys act. "what's going on lolol omg"
As a 20-something year old woman, I was still like "what the FUCK is going on", so that's for sure not something to blame on them. The game just has some weird shit in it. Not to mention this demonstration is 70% looking through the menu and explaining small mechanics rather than the overall exploration/survival thing. They're not confused on the main gameplay, they're reacting to shit like "your bloody pee is collected and used as a weapon, here have some Monster™ and look at Norman's feet".
I think kojima needed Konami to funnel his craziness into something that resembles a game
MFW games are way more than you could possibly imagine
Come for the 3D backpack tetris, stay for the mushroom piss farming!
Ben was such a great part of the staff
I like how Dan goes from "OMG THIS IS AMAZING" to "OMG MAKE IT STOP" in 130 minutes...
Upon my eventual demise, I'll know that I'm in hell if I wake as Sam asking to piss out a weaponized secretion.
The second half looks like... tamagotchi but with Norman Reedus?
I thoroughly enjoyed this video 😂 everything I was thinking y’all said! Btw I “liked” the video 🤣
Best part 1:05:13 Jeff’s reaction to his feet.
The clickbait thumbnail hurts my soul. I understand why and the video itself has not changed in tone, but man, what a bummer seeing that picture was.
I stand on the side of it being the respectable branch of youtube thumbnails. GB's format kind of looks shit on a thumbnail no matter what, so I fully support them in this effort. I just think it's a shame that someone has to manually make it.
Eh, it's not that clickbaity at all. It's just an edited thumbnail. Hell if the video had a normal RUclips generated Thumbnail it would still have all of them making weird faces since most the video is them being confused. Jarring for a Giant Bomb video to have one for sure though lol.
@@genericHenle I'd say it's a bit clickbaity. It certainly gives the vibe of a of reaction video.
Am I the only that thinks they do it ironically?
@@stegaman I'm aware of that. I'm saying that the thumbnail looks like it's for a typical reaction video
guys stop complaining , this a revolutionary game , something new that we ve never seen before . well i know that there is nothing revolutionary in the gameplay or new but kojima said that its a revolutionary game so it has to be .
Ben needs a haircut. He's starting to look like my grandmother.
KINGofGUNS His hair was out of control for a good time there last year
Kojima lovers will love it regardless, Kojima haters will hate it regardless. But if ever a game needed a playable demo, it's this one. Not an early access "demo" attached to a pre-order, I mean a proper demo, one short playable delivery. $100.00 is a lot to spend on faith and reviews alone.
People are gonna be pist when they find out this game its just a walking sim, Deliveryman The Game.
I'm fascinated to see someone else place this game.
Play* this game, not place.
I am now convinced this is a video game.
Weaponized bodily fluids, Peeing on mushrooms, crotch cam. I haven't laughed this much in a long time :) Impressed that Jeff could keep a straight face there at the end. I understand why he needed to.
So Kojima read the wiki page on chirality and said "Yes."?
Kojima finally showing why they only let him churn out metal gear games...
If you guys would be quiet and pay attention for more than five seconds maybe most of this wouldn't have went above your heads.
Awesome. This video just convinced me I don't have the time or patience to endure this thing. Hope others enjoy it though.
I think new story based single player game is very rare nowadays and should be celebrated. Even more so if it is original. I will take unique story and gameplay instead of everyday lootbox shooter
I'm not sure why....but I want to play it.
Yup me too
It’s gonna be an insane, nutty, confusing, unique and probably quite brilliant game.
Day 1 for me. I've played tons of FPS, TPS, RPG, sports, puzzles, racing, VN's, fighting, etc. But i've never seen games like Death Stranding which is good and people should be happy that there still developers like Kojima who can pump out games that looks different / unique.
This is fucking madness
I get the feeling I'm not gonna like playing this game
I was so psyched for this game when I saw the release date reveal trailer a few months ago. I was eagerly looking forward to November. Since then, the more footage I see the less interesting I find this game. I'm hoping that it does well and turns out to be a great game, because we need new unique IP's in gaming. Please don't mess this up Kojima...
Even on konami, his games were never that popular(i mean on a mainstream level) and for a long time metal gear were very niche games, it was MGSV's that made a lot of people be introduced to metal gear. Maybe this time he will get more numbers but i don't expect to have big numbers
