Some more impressions from that 900k sub YouTuber dude
[Spoiler-Free]
- Pacing is way off. The story is interesting but there's too many gaps in-between. If you don't play this game often you'll forget what happened before the next cutscene happens. Death Stranding is basically 1 hour of cool shit but 4 hours of delivering packages to NPCs
- Open-world is more interesting than MGSV but it has the same drawbacks
- It's fun when you explore new land but when the game asks you to drive back 5km just to deliver a package to a place you've been to before you're like "fuck off"
- All the safe houses look exactly the same, they have the same exact building you enter to connect and all the resting spots are 100% copy and pasted, they're all the same
- The start of the game is a bit of a chore at some times
- The game is not as good as RDR2 or God of War, but it's different. The focus is cooperation and exploration. If you're expecting a third person stealth action game then you're gonna want to refund.
Yup
Yes, the spoiler free stuff but also the more spoilery stuff in the spoiler thread
Yes. It's real. And the ones in the spoiler thread are legit as well.
Would have surprised me if Dan would have liked it considering his general taste.Dan on giantbomb been dropping hints that he bounced off hard. Thats not a good sign imo. Hes the biggest Kojima fan.
To think during release public sentiment was that Silent Hill 2 was a bit a divisive game, especially after Resi 4 came out, a lot of retrospective nonsense towards them.
So, the dream is dead because 2 people didn't like the game? WOWLooks like the 80 plus Metacritic dream is dead. Oh well. I'm still hyped but I'll need to manage my expectations.
Also how is Shirrako still getting review codes after breaking embargo again?
The dream isn't dead after only hearing a few impressions. Would still be extremely shocked if it gets below 80.Looks like the 80 plus Metacritic dream is dead. Oh well. I'm still hyped but I'll need to manage my expectations.

No way Keighly can give it GOTY now lol, it just wouldn't be right.
Hope Kojima and his team do well if the game doesn't perform well critically.
Good guy Sony is lifting the review embargo early so you'll all have time to cancel your preorders when the negative reviews drop.
I fully expect Death Stranding to win the GOTY at TGA, regardless of the critics and reviews.

IRRC TGA's GOTY award is voted on my multiple devs around the world. Isn't just Keighley giving it to whomever he wants lol
It could happen quickly if there are a lot of 6-7 scoresThe dream isn't dead after only hearing a few impressions. Would still be extremely shocked if it gets below 80.
Based on the impressions of two leakers? Yeah. I prefer to wait for more relevant reviewers to talk about the game than make assumptions.C'mon, it's looking increasingly likely that the game will at the very least divide people, a few 6's or 7's are guaranteed I think.

Guys if you're on the fence, just rent it from Redbox. It's cheaper than buying the game at full price.
I'm sticking to my prior guess of an 84 Meta.
Yeah, good suggestion!

Where did he say that?
Wow, I thought it was just Dan.
What? I thought it was just Dan? Lol
I don't remember any doom and gloom over Zelda, I remember glowing previews and everything coming out from reviewers at the time being glowing and incredibly hype-inducing.I remember when people thought BotW would settle in the mid 80s but then reviews rolled around and whaddaya have it, game had the most perfect scores out of any game ever made.
Obviously that's Zelda and this is Death Stranding but there was a lot of doom and gloom leading up to BotW, very reminiscent of Death Stranding, but all of the negative/middling opinions people have on the game are all valid and insightful.
Think 70s. Some of those impressions are scathing. You have a 5, a "boring", and an 8.looks like it'll end up somewhere in the 80s, as I expected. Still pretty excited for it, I'm down for a weird slow paced game. I'll have Pokemon the week after to go to if I'm in the mood for something brighter and zappier
People doubted BotW? That thing looked like a 10/10 from the moment it was announced.I remember when people thought BotW would settle in the mid 80s but then reviews rolled around and whaddaya have it, game had the most perfect scores out of any game ever made.
I'm still expecting 80s. A couple more negative impression I don't think is gonna represent the majority of reviewers. Some people are gonna bounce of off it completely, some are gonna really love it, and most will end up somewhere in the middle. I think the game'll wind up 83 or so.Think 70s. Some of those impressions are scathing. You have a 5, a "boring", and an 8.
It was just Dan AFAIK
