Sounds like this game is the exact type of tedious, monotonous, overly complicated game I hate. Hard pass. It's a shame, because the premise seems interesting. Oh well
10/10 post imo
this thread wasnt moving until all of us had to do a double take on that post lol
God that poster who made the Anne Frank comment, don't know how they'll ever be comfortable showing their face here again. It's the new "We forgive you, King", only a lot more distasteful.
It might actually be Limmy's bag, if the Euro Truck Sim comparisons are on point.
The Order 1886 review thread was 192 pages over 4 days on the old site. This is shaping up to demolish that.
Oh man that Beastcast is brutal. Vinny couldn't even say that he didn't regret spending his time on it.
I bet there are some heated discussions at Sony HQ right about why that MC score isn't a few points higher. MC scores are meaningless and 84 isn't a bad one, but publishers see them as very important from a business perspective, and I bet Sony's expectations were a tad higher.

Btw that was probably the only one comparison I didn't expect to read when the thread got created.
I can't tell anymore if this is the best or absolute worst thread in ERA's history. It's just insane and weird.
oh jeez. so even when his games have issues it's not kojima's fault and it's just the small team and short dev time? this is clearly what he wanted to make, good and bad.
Personally, I'm pretty happy with this reaction.
I would of loved if it was the best game ever, but it was clear from initial impressions that want going to be . If everyone though it was just average, that would be the worst case scenario.
I may end up hating it , but I'm definitely looking forward to trying it.

Oh my God. Is this ERA's first "I don't know how much you know about Japan (I'm an expert)" moment? I think it is. This is TIMELESS.
Wow.
My comment on this is that books and video games are completely different medias and this example makes no sense.
I guess it does make sense that everyones upset, but still the review threads been out for like, less than a day.
It does seem pretty divisive though, yeah. I hope I get into it, but im not missing out on such a unique experience regardless.
I'm being serious. He literally had less than 3 years to make this game. And with limited team. From what I've read and seen I could see him expanding the multiplayer part of it, where you actually can help other carriers get to other places not just leaving equipment behind.
Most of the reviews are positive.
But it seems like the gameplay just isn't going to be for everyone, it achieves what he set out to do, but it just might not be as entertaining as tactical espionage action for some.
that and the cant do it post really made this thread take off
Disgusted. It's not just about Anne Frank but that her story represents the reality for millions of Jews living under Hitler's regime and occupation. Meanwhile this is just a fucking videogame.
I see this as a Elite Dangerous on foot. Spent hundreds of hours delivering stuff to buy a bigger ship to deliver more stuff.... And sometimes I destroyed some other ships. So I guess I'll be fine.
I dunno why you are responding to me with this. My post isn't even making any qualitative statements about Death Stranding. I haven't played it. I was specifically criticizing the tendency of Kojima fans to create a false dichtonomy, where it's either Death Stranding for intellectuals, or COD for rest of you dummies and there's absolutely nothing in between. Despite the fact that there's nearly endless spectrum of games in between from action games to sims, to visual novels, to games like animal crossing, to heavily story driven rpgs and point and click adventures.
i don't know that i'll ever be able to think about this game again without thinking of can't do it
God damn. Don't think I've felt embarassment, disgust and amusement for one post for a long ass time.
This is the worst part of this whole thing.
I don't care if the game is amazing or terrible. Whatever.
The issue is that these high score reviews do not read like high score reviews at all. It honestly just looks like they were scared or hesitant to call out a Kojima game or didn't want to bash game "art" or some other nonsense.
I don't think any of the reviews above 9 or close to 10 read like reviews about a 9 or 10 game. Not even close.
Its very interesting to see. Almost all the "big name" reviewers are down on the game in some way.
This got me. Sounds like Peak Kojima lol
Is there something like a Hall of Fame/ Shame for Threads?
If not this might be the right time to create one.
I know that. Forget the reviews scores but we have 59 positive reviews out of 71 total reviews. This thread doesn't reflect that at all.
