I haven't played Death Stranding, but I think it's fair to say that if you didn't like MGSV, you're not going to like this.

I, on the other hand, think MGSV is probably the best game of this generation, so I'm excited.


Huh no.

The things people hate about MGSV the most don't seem to apply here. (aka extremely lackluster story and narrative, being forced to replay chapters to unlock next parts etc, almost no memorable boss fights, plain environments, unfinished story etc...)

I remeber when Kojima games were basically the only AAA games with LGBTQ representation, glad to to see there will be some in Death Stranding.
I am not sure this is what this actually is
They are the same person

I mean, that's a trailer, of course it'll just be out of context quotes. Have you seen Control's trailers for example ? It's just a compilation of weird sentences that kinda make sense when you play the game.
Oh and I don't think the game is pretentious (although I believe the whole marketing of the game totally is). I don't get people who think something they don't understand (yet) is instantly pretentious.

I'd expect to have some level of understanding after 8 minutes of nothing but exposition. I've never seen so little said with so many words.
A trailer is supposed to convey an element of the story or purpose of a piece, offer an insight into what's going on and why - or what you'll be doing as a player.
This doesn't seem to do any of that - in fact it does quite the opposite. It befuddles. Which is a shame, because this overshadows intrigue in the picture. There's a lot to explore here visually.
It's fine though. I doubt this trailer has changed many minds. I doubt it was designed to.

Music is phenomenal. Kojimbo has great taste tbh.

Honestly...not all too interested in this game. It looks cool graphics aren't that great but decent yet it seems so boring.
Agree, I was super into it before I actually learned what the game is. I really want to like it, it has some interesting elements but now It just feels pretentious, and .. boring.

That is shit crazy good trailer, but still do not know how to connect the beats.
Seeing Death Stranding using Decima is just a joy to behold.

I mean that is one mindset. Mine is that I am looking for something that intrigues me. I certainly don't find i need to understand what is going on before I play the game. There is certainly enough there to be intriguing. I can understand if others prefer something that is super legible from the outset, but I think that is just one method of storytelling. Also, having watched previous trailers I can pick up a decent amount of what is going, and what I don't get is even better.

Watched it again, man, it should have been just half as long. It just trails off into visual nonsense after 4 minutes. What a terribly edited trailer.

Jesus Christ what an insane trailer.
From everything I have seen this could rival BotW as my game of the generation

Imagine watching that and the word that comes to you is "boring"... if what you've seen in this trailer is boring, what the hell is interesting to you?

I'm going to pass. Considering how the MGS V trailers used most of the best scenes from the game. Granted, the story/cutscenes were lacking in that game. Still, idk 😐

I kind of want to watch it...

Game is gonna be so divisive. This is a new take I have. No one has said this before me today.

I don't buy the divisive thing. The game will either be good, or the game will be bad and some people will claim it's good because of reasons.

I hope it will be good.

Dammit I want to watch so badly but the spoiler warnings.... help
I have been following DS and saw some of the story developments in the spoiler thread: Dont watch it. Its incredibly spoilerish. Theres almost no gameplay. Did you watch the launch trailer for MGSV? Its on par with that in how much plot beats they show just because.

Not sure if I'm looking too deep into it, but the game seems pretty political. With the beginning saying America as more than a nation, a symbol of freedom and hope, then later in the trailer it mention America is a lie.
