That's a neat concept. Still not sure if the game is for me overall, but I'm curious.
You do realize that a big part of lovecraft stories are the mundanity and truly average protagonists right?
This honestly seems like the devs knew EXACTLY what the devs wanted the game to be.
Us plebs too stoopid for game, Mr Connoisseur.
Rest assured, I'd shake my head the same if people had decided to rave about Astral Chain in the way DS-fans are doing.
The same people who weren't convinced from the first presentation actually watched another one so they can tell us again for another 10 pages they don't like it. That it's boring. And people who do are lying.
It's ok. The game is not for you. Move on.
Like i said before, i'm going to spend alot of time in that room. Wonder what other EE's are there to find.

This is what I felt watching the long gameplay session, the ideas of the game seem interesting but the execution they have showed so far is lacking of anything remarkable. I'm sure the game will have countless details, some crazy plot elements and maybe 1 o 2 really well integrated mechanics, but the base gameplay loop lacks the appeal I expected from the game.
I bet Hades is a very important part of the game. Just the variety of landscapes that we see so far from Hades is an indication of this. WWI, WWII, Vietnam ... why would them spend so much time and effort creating those locations if they were just a very limited part of the game?
Hades will probably feature a more traditional gameplay loop, with focus on combat and stealth.
For me, Hades could not even be in the game and this is already the game I'm more excited for. It's so refreshing to see a game like this in an industry crowded with the same type of games. It's like an island paradise in the middle of a huge blue ocean.
Hyperbolic statements and the like is a natural consequence to those hyped to see their favourite creator come out with a new game. It's the video game hype cycle in action. Pay no mind to it and move on.
Why does it matter though? Why not just let people have their fun? This is no different from people getting excited for the next Nintendo Direct. It really isn't that deep.
5 million doesn't sound too far off for global first year sales, but "lifetime" is what ultimately soils this prediction.
Hey man I had to deal with that for days gone for 3 years straight at least death stranding just started around gamescom
Difference being that AC is actually released. I thought it was interesting that I saw your post below in the gaming controversy thread and DS is exactly the antithesis to your complaint lol
I feel like this is gonna be a bloodborne situation where the amount of horror is just....totally unexpected and not advertised.
Because it's unfair when it materializes into something tangible (like goty awards). Have you never been (ever so slightly) upset when some bad movie won an Oscar? I enjoy watching the yearly Oscar show ... and I'm angry every year. 🙈
Can y'all stop arguing with the same 10 ppl and do y'all jobs....where's the damn gifs the lack of gifs in these gameplay threads been terrible
Kojima said there are more moments like that, so look forward to them.
So in his room he had three different types of rifle/weapon hanging up. Do we know what they are or what they do? I'm guessing like the shock trap gun he used in the previous demo, they each have a unique feature, because they certainly look totally different from one another.
I don't think this game is going to be very divisive, apart from the usual divisiveness that comes with this being an exclusive. I think praise will be rather universal.
People like games that are out of the ordinary and question conventional design.

Death stranding is firmly a AA title. What signs point to it being AAA? The fact that Sony is putting marketing muscle behind it? Other than that it's AA. Koji pro is a much smaller studio versus other studios that have released AAA games on the ps4 (naughty dog, sucker punch, insomniac, etc). The scope of death stranding is much smaller than those other games. Development time on death stranding has been less than Sony AAA games. And the fact that it's using the decima engine doesn't make it a AAA game either since there are plenty of non AAA games using frostbite.
So what exactly makes death stranding AAA?
A few thoughts:
1) I always enjoy reading posts by EatChildren
2) Imagine thinking because you saw something you didn't like that all the things you did like are magically deleted from the game lmao.
3) It's hilarious that people pretend to care so much about "But it will be decisive!!!!" And? Aren't many, many (many) games decisive?
4) I've long thought that ages should be attached to posts because....some responses sound quite pre-teenager-ish. Nothing wrong with being young, it would just add some "ahh...I see" to some of the posts here regarding how frustrated and upset some people are forcing themselves to be. (Half-joking)
5) People claim GOTY contender for quite literally every game they're interested in as someone else mentioned. The developers have created GOTY winning games before as has the publisher. Why would this be so outrageous a prediction simply because it doesn't align with your own personal feelings? That's...pretty hilarious.
6) The content of the footage was outlined by Kojima days prior. Imagine being pissed that you got what you were promised. Lmao.
I want to say I'll miss these pre-release threads but I'm sure the post-launch threads will bring an equal amount of entertainment although the mystique surrounding the unknown quantities will be gone.
Edit: lmfao I see we've once again reached the fruitful discussion of AA vs AAA. Lovely. I wouldn't take the bait - it never leads to meaningful discussion, just circular "it is" vs "it ain't" posts that shit up threads. Tweeting the devs and asking will yield better results.

Hire expensive Hollywood actors doing full performance capture the game after getting scanned in for the game. Has some of the best realtime visuals ever in an open world title. Seemingly every mundane feature they wanted made it in. Animation quality is quite good especially since the protagonist seems to have a lot of contextual animation depending on how they're traversing teh environment. Like, the onus is on you to prove how this isn't a AAA title.
Literally none of these factors determine whether or not a title is AAA. I wish you people would realize that using an engine doesn't just guarantee this level of visual quality and art direction.
It'll be:
a. sold at the price of one
b. marketed like one
c. *looks* like one
d. treated by the general public like one ( due to factor a,b,c)
What?
The game will have been in development for 3 years by a team of roughly 100 devs, has a crap tonne of money and marketing behind it, including arguably the most expensive roster of actors ever included in a game along with top tier motion and performance capturing for basically everything, and it's also built on a high end engine with class leading visuals and a massive open world. How in the world is it not AAA?
Also, how is the scope of Death Stranding much smaller? It's arguably one of Sony's most unique and ambitious projects.

Nobody talking about the dream sequence? That was cool, I imagine you'll have a lot more of that stuff later in the game

Nah, that's Squadron 42/Star Citizen. But yeah, I agree with the rest. How is Death Stranding an AA game LMAO.
This can apply to almost everything on ERA.
People enter threads and complain all the time, that won't stop. But if its an opinion you don't agree with you don't have to respond.
Discourse around this game is going to be insufferable based on some of the threads I've been seeing and no one has even touched the game yet lol.
AAA is defined only by its budget (dev and marketing). AA games can have that AAA look without the production cost (i.e. A Plague's Tale, Hellblade).
Ok... sure.

The top one looks like a submachine gun or something, the one in the middle is that BOLA gun that stuns people and BTs and the bottom one (yellow) we've seen it in past trailers, I guess it's more like a normal rifle. And there's space for two more guns in that wall, I think he doesn't want to spoil it.
Oh wow. I didn't know they considered it AAA. I was mostly going off what I've read here about control being smaller in scope and smaller budget, etc.
Okay. If the dev says it's AAA I'll listen. So ds can be AAA in that case too!
Control is apparently AAA though. Shrug.
This is a ridiculous post. Seriously? Do you have a hand book of the exact requirements for AA and AAA games?
I agree. It's really a silly argument, and that wasn't really the point of my original post. It really doesn't matter.
Kojima tweets himself from the Japanese account. His translator translates what he puts there and post it in the English account.
So if English appears on his main account, that means he tweeted in English.
Days Gone hate was something else. I don't even go into threads for games i have no interest in.
Something about Sony first party games brings out the strangest behavior.
People often complain about change and wanting something new and different, but in reality really don't.
It's always been that way, that has always been the meaning of AAA
