Ah, sorry. I rarely ever buy physical, and when I do, it's not at Gamestop. The fact that Wario64 tweeted about it made me think it was a non-normal event for them to include it in that program.
At least for the thread delivering the parcel you can make your displeasure known. Or just kill everyone.
Geez, 120+ pages and this thread was made only yesterday. Is this a product of the hype for this game combined with the actual reviews?
Streamers are gonna shred this to bits just out of sheer peer pressure from an unruly chat.
Becuase he is giving you his vision, he doesn't care if you don't like to start slow or aren't patient. This is a game made exclusively as his author wanted.
I'm going through the rest and it's just getting more bonkers from there. It makes time between classes less boring at least.
You're making valid points. I guess the argument is a semantic one, because I'm not against any of these types of expression about a piece of art. I just have a weird hangup about calling that a review, because I would really prefer the opinion on the complete experience, not a part of it when they declare it as a definitive stance. I guess it comes down to transparency, as long as it is clearly expressed how thoroughly the critic has examined what it is they write about it really doesn't matter what you call it.
Well if you dont view it as tedious then there is no tedium, case closed. But In this thread, "tedium" has been used as if it was a strength, while still maintaining that it is in fact tedious.
I mean, every game can be defended using this type of absolute subjectivity, its the most low hanging fruit out there. We could substitute tedious for bad, and someone could come in and make the same argument, like "Who are you, telling other people what they should want to play? Maybe they like bad games!" Its just stretching the language in a strange way.
The specific thing was just a short convo on their extra life stream.
No, the gb staff who completed DS also had major issues. They really disliked the ending.
More like people that is not into this should look elsewhere, plenty of games out there. Is not that Kojima ows us entertainment, in fact he never lied about what this game is.
From what I gathered in my research, the traversal is the puzzle/game. As you're moving through the environment it isn't a brain off "auto walk would be nice here" situation.
Recently I started the Supernova difficulty of The Outer Worlds, this mode has some questionable restrictions, but besides that you can't fast travel to anything but your ship, and you can't save outside of the ship. It made me pay so much attention to things I didn't before, and it gave me more respect for the surroundings. I'm always on high alert, and I even get startled a lot by random sounds haha. The simple act of going from point A to B doesn't feel safe, and watching my thirst, hunger, and weapon wear has an effect on my journey.
4D Kojima chess...bringing people together by collectively mocking his game about bringing people together.
Thread has gone full Micolash.
I saw Kojima at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical interference," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Tactical Stowaway Action
I've been busy at work. How did this thread go from a Kojima game about mail delivery to Anne Frank?
This is me when I finally buy Death Stranding for $15 on a steam sale.
Am I the only one who saw the reveal trailer and new it was going to be a divisive mess of a game?
I love that games like it are able to be made.
Cant wait to try it myself. I that Friday and the following Monday and Tuesday off.
Between this game, my birthday, and Disney Plus, it's going to be fun.
As the Human Torch once said "flame on!"

If you like Kojima's weirdness and want exploration mixed with delivering goods and asynchronous multiplayer and a fantastic soundtrack, then yes it's apparently very good and unique.
