This is probably and litterally my 20th time trying to play both DS1 and DS2 on my PS5pro. I'm a huge MGS fan, but that game has things that i really don't understand:
■ Cryptic-confusing story and lore (i only understood the post apocalyptic idea and sam trying to connect united cities of america with some character introductions and things here and there), but again seems more confusing and complex than MGS which is not basically a good thing.
■ No thrilling or action moments in the cutscenes.
■ Normal soundtrack (unlike most MGS games)
■ Despite the slow pacing, the gameplay loop has a very big problem which is being BORING (the delivery concept being the main focus of the game).
■ Too much HUD and written info + never ending dialougue through the whole first 3 chapters (im sure nothing will change until the game ends).
■ MGSV had a dynamic difficulty since the game changed it's design to open-world free inflitration, why Death Stranding has a difficulty choice? This means the devs didn't put effort to raise the enemy AI to me at least.
■ Graphics during cutscenes is good, but during gameplay im feeling something off either in physics/animations or both lighting and textures compared to MGSV on Fox Engine. The game has a strange rubber look, MGSV had amazing textures (almost photorealstic). It could be the poor art direction as well.
■ Controls: again, more complex and confusing than even MGSV, although im using a dualsense edge, it seems you need like 20 fingers playing this game.
■ Sam has like 25 boxes over his arms and back, which makes it very very hard avoiding the mules, or even dodging while in combat.
■ Norman reedus (sam) is probably the worst character i have ever seen in a video game/movie period. Even Jin Sakai in Ghost of Tsushima had better character than him.
■ Terrible writing in story and character names (Fragile? deadman? Die-hardman? Tarman? Wtf?)
I can go on and on writing and wondering how terrible this product is. It's either Kojima means to shit on gamers or he was on something while directing this.
Im a 32 years old man who plays video games even before the PS1 exists. Im a Kojima/Shinkawa fan more than anyone else here. The points i mentioned are agreed by many former video gamers and MGS fans who tried Death Stranding.
I remember reaching chapter 5 once and feeling the same, and chapter 4 in DS2. The total hours i played both games surpasses 2 or 3 Resident Evil games COMBINED.
I want people to discuss this without any offense. If we go on paying our valued money to crap like this, major distributors will put ZERO effort in producing something good. The same exact thing is happening in the movie industry. When was the last time i enjoyed a video game or a movie? Probably 10 years ago. I have platinumed MGSV and the first 2 MSX games of Master Collection Vol 1. Im going to platinum MGS 1-3 and wait for Vol 2 to platinum 4 and Peace Walker.
I'm still holding myself of being hyped for OD and Physint if Death Stranding is THAT bad in my eyes.
Cheers.
