Norman Reedus happy that Silent Hill didn't pan out because "Death Stranding is way better"

Im not saying you dont mostly walk in Death Stranding or Silent hill Mr. Smart man. Im saying you using that term as a dismissive way to ignore games that are doing something that isn't action focused is dumb and you should feel bad for using it regardless of what you think of Death Stranding because you and I know that its not literally just pushing the analog in one direction and thats it. Its like calling PT a walking simulator because you choose to ignore everything else going on in the game and even Death Stranding has way more "gameplay" and systems going on at any given moment then something like PT.
Also "simulator" means its trying to be realistic and no one walks or traverses like Norman does in Death Stranding in real life because its a video game and not a flight simulator.
the game literally has balance mechanics and footwear degradation. walking simulator is actually a very apt description, more than basically any other game, and not in a derogatory manner, just literally what it is.
I don't agree at all....PT showed the potential of what could be and it was all thrown away for.....whatever DS is.
Hopefully Kojima goes back to those PT roots.

The person in question was clearly using Walking Simulator in the derogatory sense though?
As much as I'm a huge fan of the Silent Hill series and loved Kojima's understanding of horror in P.T (and Silent Hill vibes in Paz's sidequest in MGSV), I always prefer new IPs. Death Stranding ended up bringing something much more exciting to the table, imo.
I do hope Kojima ends up working on a horror game (hopefully another new IP) with Junji Ito, considering his cameo on Death Stranding ;)

No bias I'm sure.
Imagine trying to chastise a game for being a "walking simulator" while simultaneously staning for a game series with notably bad gameplay.
That doesn't sound like PR to me. In all of this interviews he seems super into it.
Honestly I agree haha. I know there are a lot of silent hills fans on here. But I always prefer to see stuff like Death Stranding even if people don't take to it. Just because I like to see some thing different in the triple A game space
This is the laziest, dumbest description you could give the game.
But go for it.
No.
Then you didn't get to the episode (3) where you unlock tonnes of tools, gear, buildings, a vehicles?
Walking sim, ok.

Real talk, I understand why Norman is saying this.
When he signed onto PT/SH he mostly only had Guillermo telling him to go for it.
Kojima pitched him DS.
He had more to see of DS, than Silent Hills.

Well good for you then, maybe don't claim you know what something is when you didn't even make it past the intro.
I am.
The silent hill games are not enjoyable to play. And besides, asides from Shattered Memories and PT, every other game post 3 has been maligned critically
I actually did get vehicles. Traversal simulator is definitely accurate. You just posted a video of literally traversal lmao
Check my post history, I criticize Silent Hill for its gameplay.
Me liking Silent Hill doesn't mean I can't call out medicore titles like Death Stranding
This game can't be boxed that easily, the only people trying to do so are those trying to be purposely reductive.
I'm loving the game and story so far but considering the topic I wanted to say that I really dig Norman Reedus performance. I've a long road ahead tho.
Good for you.
Doesn't mean I can't call out mediocre posts like the ones you've made.
You literally build roads to use bikes and cars, and can use hover board. And nice backtracking on calling it a "walking simulator".
What kind of criticism is "traversal simulator" even. Do you give BOTW and SOTC shit for that too?
Why was my post medicore? The game is being branded by everyone as a walking simulator.
It was literally pointed out to you in the first reply to your post. It's reductive and lazy because it isn't.
Some part of me is glad we didn't see a Hideo Kojima written Silent Hill game...
So yeah I agree.
So yeah I agree.
I'm sorry bust I just can't believe that Death Stranding is better than what Silent Hill would have become. If the full game would have become a larger expansion of the kinds of things we saw in the P.T. it would have been amazing.
This Death Stranding game is just a boring slog of over indulgences and annoying repetitiveness. A well made game, but not a fun/great one.
Hell I'd easily play P.T. over yet again rather than play Death Stranding.

It's being stupidly branded that way, and a lot of the people doing so haven't even played it.
I like that Death Stranding is about trying not to kill stuff. It's how I play games that give me the option of non lethal play throughs. I really don't like killing, even if it's already dead. The gameplay of avoiding confrontation is more interesting than lining up crosshairs to mow down a lot of bodies. I hear TLOU2 may have a way to avoid killing as well, and will amplify the guilt of killing. I doubt you can avoid killing at all, but at least you can go through without killing the dogs (something is better than nothing, I'm not saying dogs lives are more important).
OK, is game that lacks gameplay by an overhyped game developer known for creating great gameplay good for you?
I'm glad, too, because we got something a bit more unique that keeps everyone talking/guessing.
I've watched videos, read reviews, and even asked people here and they all said the game was basically walking for the first couple of hours.
Is this not enough?
What the hell are you talking about? Your post isn't even fit for GameFAQs.
So now you're admitting it's the first couple of hours in what is a 60 hour game, good first step!
Who is everyone?
I guess silent hill is a walking sim to. You walk around, engage in bad combat and do obtuse puzzles. I guess Resident Evil is also a walking sim because you are supposed to avoid enemies and go from one place to another. Guess breath of the wild is also one.
It's a flimsy argument for a game where the focus is meant to be traversal.
If you had issues with how the traversal works, that's at least a critique... but all you've posted in this thread is "unga bunga all you do is walk" when that can be said with many games
So you don't even have your own opinion. You're just regurgitating others.
WoW oh WoW
