Default Death Stranding



I'm still hyped to the eyeballs for this weird-arse game. Only a couple of weeks left until release and I can finally find out what Daryl's bottle baby is all about

I'm also extremely hyped for a big old dose of weird kojima-ness

I don’t understand what the majority of reviews are saying about this game they’re like it’s a chore to get through/boring but it’s important

Cracker say what??

I had it pre-ordered until recently, I think I'll wait until it's on sale.

Yes it will be pretentious Kojima self-indulgence with cutscenes that are far too long, and some people will find it utterly unplayable and that will be part of what makes it unmissable. I feel like you have to know what you're getting into though.

I've a feeling the majority of people will hate it at first but then it will become a cult classic in a few years

So thus far

1) Yes, delivering stuff

2) Yes, very long and bizarre cutscenes

3) The delivering parcels is oddly addictive and compelling??

4) The graphics are amazing. I have literally not seen better, ever, some of the landscapes are approaching photorealism... It's been a long time since I've played a game and been gobsmacked by the scenery / cutscenes ... I suspect this is the absolute peak of the PS4 hardware right here.


As I expected I'm loving it so far but its probably not for everyone.

I stopped playing detroit when I spent half an hour cleaning up pizza boxes and getting the washing in.

Hahaha, it's not on par with that... Whilst you are indeed delivering parcels, it's across a post apocalyptic landscape so there's a lot of figuring out how to scale cliffs, etc.

And obviously the plot isn't about parcels... It's just a large part of the game mechanic.

Like TS said, It's weirdly addictive and compelling.
The story has me hooked. Lots of people won't like the hours and hours of cutscenes but I grew up on the MGS series so I love it haha

The cutscenes are long but they're still not in the league of MGS4 . That really did push it a couple of times. Me and my girlfriend (now wife ) were at Uni when I was playing it, and she wrote a University essay once (a rushed one, but still)... While I was watching a cutscene! Over an hour

I've just looked it up actually - apparently it's a sequence of cutscenes in close succession and the total length is 71 minutes

To be fair though, the last 1/3 of MGS4 despite not being much... Game... Is still one of my finest few hours of gaming. The 20 minute long fist fight with Ocelot

Against Deadman's advice I have bonded with Norman Fetus and am really worried that something awful is going to happen to the li'l guy by the end of the game



So cute & creepy
