It doesn't look like Death Stranding's gonna do too hot on reviews...

[Lant_War]

Whenever a game is truly great, we get some reviewers telling us how amazing the game is and how they can't wait to tell us how the game is in their full review:




And with Death Stranding, reviewers were given quite a bit of time to play through the game as shown by the amount of posts we've seen from journalists so far. We've even gotten a few impressions from people that have the game and... It's not sounding too good. I won't link them as I haven't seen them myself (I'm blackout), but you can read about them in the DS thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/de...jima-game-strand.60900/page-142#post-25633670

It sounds like the game will be highly divisive, which is great coming from Kojima but it's a little scary that we haven't gotten more positive impressions. Given the early embargo, this could really backfire. What do you think?

This is way too premature dawg.

It's going to got more score that this thread replies before being closed.

After the way Dan Ryckert reacted to it on this week's Beastcast -- they're under embargo but he found an interesting way around that take -- I cannot wait for reactions to this game.

incredible thread

Please don't do this. For your own sake, if anything.

Just wait for the actual reviews, it's not going to kill you.

Oh my god what even is the point of this

 

[NuclearCake]

Cool but i will buy it anyway. I don't really put much stock in game reviews.

 

[Doggg]

I think this was completely foreseeable. It took ages for Kojima to show gameplay, and when he finally did, it looked like a complete joke.

They have NDAs. You don't want to piss off Sony. You're reading too much into nothing

 

[Macca]

Mate you don't have to make threads about everything.

 

[Deleted member 5491]

How about we all just chill and wait for the actual reviews?

 

[Phonzo]

Man this is some stretch and i dont even care for DS

We have comments from two youtubers and a guy who regularly has to have someone explain to him where salt comes from. I'm not overly concerned.

What does Astral Chain have to do with with Death Stranding?

 

[Hella]

The embargo is still up. You aren't going to hear anything until, IIRC, November 1st.

 

[Extremely Solid]

Embargo lifts November 1st!

Making a thread about media reactions when you are on a self-imposed media Blackout has to be one of the most ERA things ever.

 

[Massicot]

This is a lot of hand-wringing and reading of tea leaves for something you're on blackout for.

 

[Kouriozan]

I still think critics will like it but gamers not so much.

 

[tombo85]

This game seems to have a very strict NDA based on what I've heard from those playing it

 

[Windrunner]

We don't need another thread for this, especially at this early stage while the game is still under embargo.
