You're looking for excuses lol.

If the game was great I'd feel they'd be saying as much.

When the early impressions aren't great from regular players that's not a good sign.

It's understandable. It's not shooty enough or it's not hack and slash, so it's not gonna be for everyone. Especially MGS fans

I'm not really looking for excuses. Even if it reviews well I won't buy it, it's not my type of game. I will never play RDR2 for similar reasons. But I think early impressions for a game under embargo are attention seeking and therefore questionable. I don't think one can really make any assumptions about a game from those.

DS is going to be fine come on, even assuming the reviewers are not glowing it will do good.

I really can't see Death Stranding doing less than Days Gone in both reviews and sales.


The good thing about Death Stranding being bad is that nobody will fight when they announce it for PC.

DS announced for PC as an EGS exclusive, coming in 2020.
Salt and meltdowns.

I have a feeling that it will become a better game if it comes to PC at some point.
People will make an extra effort to see the game over the 'Fedex mantra' once the exclusivity goes down if it happens.

Yup, there's a running promo at MediaWorld, you get 2 PS4 games at 19,99€ and God of War is part of the offer.
GoW is also on PS Hits with GT Sport and UCLL
Is MediaWorld the biggest retailer in Italy for videogames? I thought it was MicroMania/Gamestop.
God of War is also available now at PS Now. So, there are some affordable ways to play 2018 GOTY.

Is this my life even in the SIE thread?
Non stop vague impressions of DS for the next two weeks that mean sweet f.a. until actual review day?

I've already placed all other DS threads on ignore for sanity and non spoilers; I shoulda known this thread would also be infected soon enough lol

MW is one of the biggest and to be fair the one with the best offers and promotions followed by Amazon, we don't have MicroMania but GameStop is there.
GameStop nowadays is a toys, Funko-pops and Fortnte V-Bucks reseller.
God of War is priced at 20€ on GameStop as well.

Even in the unlikely event Death Stranding is a 3/10, it's refreshing to see something a little out of the ordinary in the AAA space. I'll be playing it and making up my own mind.

Come on, not even weird, fundamentally broken eccentrities like Travis Strike Again have been received with such animosity. I'm confident this is going to be received in similar terms to The Last Guardian: many will love it and a similar group will dislike it. These are technically sound products, that you will enjoy or not based on your preferences.

PS: Despite all the drama, TLG was still one of the most awarded games that year.

so another one of the "DS downers" leakers have now said he finished the game and turned around on it and will give it a 9.

i dont think there is much to worry about.

I mean even Shirrako said he would give it a 8 after complaining about the pacing, said it was fun discovering new areas but when you had to backtrack it was boring (which is understandable if it takes a long time). People overreact all the time.

It's either the best game of all time or a piece of shit. There's nothing in between.

Is that the 5/10 or the 8/10 guy? Lol

Neither.

I don't know why people are worried about the scores, AT WORST is going to score 85, and it's still a solid result.

There's no way it is going to score below 85 at all, i mean like, MGS V is a 90+ game according to MC, let's be real here.
