To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Death Stranding. The fun is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Timefall physics most of the entertainment will go over a typical gamer's head. There's also Norman Reedus's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Death Stranding truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the product placement in Norman's existencial catchphrase "Unleash the Beast," which itself is a cryptic reference to American consumerism. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hideo Kojima's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. ð And yes by the way, I DO have a fetus tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
