Imagine this: it's 2014 and PT just dropped. Everybody is hyped and ready to see what Kojima can do with Silent Hill. Months later, you find out that PT gets cancelled. That sucks and everyone is sad. But Kojima says he has something else in store! A couple years later, the reveal trailer for Death Stranding comes out and it looks like it could be a very cool and surreal horror game. Awesome! Kojima's got our back!
But then all goes quiet... A couple more years pass and we finally get a release date out of the blue when most people thought it might've faded into obscurity. But when it came back, so did the hype. The devs were all hush hush about what the actual game entailed. All we knew was 3 things. Norman Reedus, Weird Baby Thing, and magic rain that ages shit.
But when the game finally came out, and all the hype came to a peak, we all finally got a taste of what Death Stranding had in store.
And it was SHIT! The only thing you do in the game is walk for 3 hours, deliver shit, encounter invisible monsters, walk for another 3 hours, watch a cutscene that does nothing with the story, and rinse and repeat. Sure, the game is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, but graphics alone don't make a good game. I don't care if the game makes the Mona Lisa look like a pile of dicks, I will never play a game that isn't fun.
Kojima knows he fucked up, because in an interview (I forget which one) he said that people were "too dense" to understand his "art."
I can't believe how many people still defend this game. It is an embarrassment to gaming as a whole! Think about the greatest games ever made. The games where everybody can agree that it's a masterpiece. What do all those games have in common? Story? No, some don't even have a story. Graphics and sound? Nope, some don't even look or sound good. Gameplay? Fuck yeah! Every one of those games is a blast to play over and over again to the point of insanity! But does Death Stranding have good gameplay? Hell fucking no!
I feel personally betrayed by Kojima. He could have given us a game that at least lived up to the hype. But he couldn't even do that!
Fuck Kojima and fuck anyone who defends this game.
