I was recently watching a streamer (willneff) and somehow the topic got on Death Stranding. Apparently he's one of those "I was there from day 1. Metal Gear Solid changed my life" types and he went into Death Stranding expecting it to be another Metal Gear game. He was sorely disappointed and "heartbroken" to find out that it wasn't. (He also mentioned how Kojima apparently was supposed to meet up with him and some other streamers in Japan, but he had to bail for some reason). So he's probably butthurt about that and took it personally.
He then proceeds to go on a rant where he compares every aspect of the game to Metal Gear Solid. Norman Reedus is nothing like Solid Snake because he grumbles, the acting is flat and he doesn't say much. The BB concept is stupid. It's a walking simulator. Blah blah blah.
Fans in the chat were mentioning how they like the game and his response was basically, "If you like it, fine. BUT you're in the minority". Really? It didn't get the same amount of love as Metal Gear games but it still has a large enough fanbase. They wouldn't bother making a 2nd game if there wasn't.
It's okay to be passionate and have an opinion but he is overly opinionated and talks as if its fact and he knows better than everyone else. Not a fan of when he gets on his high horse and talks like whatever he says is the gospel. It just comes off as very smug, snobby and entitled.
I just can't stand when MG fans cry about DS not being like Kojima's previous games. He has been making those games for longer than most of us here have been alive. Give him a break for trying something different for a change. There's so many MG games out there. Go play those instead.
