Yea, I'm expecting LTTP for many years with either "masterpiece" Or "what did I just play" in the subject

Death Stranding - Review Thread (see staff post for discussion guidelines)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Other Sony review embargoes prior to DS don't enforce completion of the game to publish a review. Only Death Stranding did.
Their job is to review games, finishing is not mandatory and it would be redundant if they get the picture early.
People can put as many barriers as they like between someone being entitled to publish their own work, but in the end it'll always be a matter of delaying the inevitable.
Don't get me wrong, its still a long game. And I certainly rushed at parts to make sure I would make the deadline (which I did surprisingly fast - my review was written a good week before the embargo ended). Its a long game with a big open world, but the main 'campaign' so to speak is def. playable in 35 to 40 hours.
No worries.
They are not at all subtle in hinting they think the game was just not interesting enough to finish
For what it's worth, I really appreciate it whenever I see your impressions or review pop up for some game I'm checking out on Steam -- especially the totally random indies there's little to no info about elsewhere.

Gameplay criticism is a big whoops for me...still looks likes a good game underneath but gameplay is what I was looking forward to.
I'm still extremely exited.
Yes the MC score sounds disappointing, but then I looked through each single review score and saw that there are way more extremely high review scores from sites where I actually expected disastrous ratings (Gamespot, 4Players) than sites where I expected high scores but got lows.
So I'm almost even more surprised by the good ones and really enjoy the fantastic written reviews.

🔥🔥🔥 reviews got me hype as fuck.
Even the naysayers seem to have strong feelings towards it. At least it isn't the bland reserviced piss so many games are these days and its inspiring at least SOMETHING from everyone.
I like everything I've seen so I think I'll love it personally, can't wait to experience it myself.

There are. Theres even an extremely easy mode for people who mostly want to enjoy the story. You'll still have to work for it though :P
It'll be interesting to see if those giving it lower scores now, will change their minds and see it as genius over time..
..or if those giving it high scores now, will look back and admit their high scores were an "emperor's new clothes" style reaction (due to it being Kojima/convincing themselves they should love it).
Could go either way.

That's why you find sites/reviews that agree with your opinions on games you already like, and then you'll be able to figure out easier if you'll "like" a newer game.
TotalBiscuit did that for me, if he liked a game I would probably like it too as we had similar tastes.
Also I think the Giant Bomb folks are into different types of games, it's just Jeff and Brad like CoD.
Plus as many have point out in the past, while this doesn't apply for DS, what is finished for Gaas nowadays or a game like Apex Legends or an MMO?
My DM's are open...I was thinking lottery tickets results?
I'f not I settle for the Superbowl and Champions League winners. Let's start the stranding game :P
Yes?
Besides, ERA is just one place in the Internet. And I don't think I'm mistaken in saying him as one of the most beloved figures in gaming, so I'm perfectly willing to guess that his fans outnumbers his haters by a large margin.
That's what you do when you're into console wars nonsense, yes
I don't know who that is, what was his score?
Come on now, RDR2's gameplay might not have been enjoyed by everyone (I really liked) but from what it sounds like, it's nowhere near as bad as DS.
User Banned (3 Days): Ignoring Staff Post
seem like very poor work from reviewers or wanting to go with a ridiculous score of a 3 just to make a point you did not like it or giving it a 10 to say you love how artsy it is, well will be fun to hear more when it reaches the hands of more people.
Isn't that literally part of the job though? Giving low scores to games you don't like?
He seems to be into this though. He won't commit to saying he likes it, but he wants to keep playing it.
Pretty good all things considered.
Little disappointed to hear about the combat. But I wasn't going to get Death Stranding for that anyway.

The post of a person who seems like they put zero effort in to reading any of the reviews they are stereotyping.
Sometimes, you don't need to finish a game to know where you're landing on it.
I reviewed Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, and within 20 minutes I knew where my score was going to be. It was fucking awful.
haha, and DOTA.
I feel like every hot take about GB crew is either years out of date or just based on the fact that some of the crew don't like something the poster likes and they ignore the fact that 2 other people at GB said the game was great.
Completely agree.
I value my time immensely and for a game that is basically a bunch of fetch quests one after the other, it gets a hard pass from me.
They're the worst types of missions in any game I find, so I couldn't think of a worse way to spend my time than to play a 40+ hour one.
Fair play to them, and I don't want to risk getting banned over this game.
Enjoying listening to the giant beastcast right now for their thoughts, it's just started so I'm not sure how it's going to go.
