Death Stranding - A Brief Review (1000% Spoiler-Free)

Ойындар

Kojima had the weight of the world on his shoulders; impossibly high expectations that seemed impossible to deliver on. Many are going to think he failed...I think he succeeded spectacularly.

    yeah man, i feel you. it clicked for me also in that part. i barely got alive to the edge of the cliff while going to the port knot. i was walking silently for an half an hour, my shoes where destroyd, and a almost died...i had a lot of stuff on me, but had no ladder and only one rope...and oh fuck - it's a cliff (i wasn't expecting it, couse it seemed to be more gently sloping on the 3d map).. i thought i would die, but smartly using the only rope, step by step i was able to get down.. i even fell maybe for 5 meters. and almost died again....but i survived... with still some life in me and my stuff was not completely broken..then i was running with my bloody feet to the water barely alive....and i heared that music....fuck it was a beautiful moment ....from that moment i was in love with this game... by the way, Low Roar's band's leader died few days ago.

But as I got older are started to view video games as I view film it interactive medium with great potential to tell many different story is a multiplicity of meaning themes. I almost thirty now I rare play anything unless it catch my interest personal love indie scene because if you dig through you find some real beauty that marry mechanic, theme and narrative. Death is indie game a vision with a AAA power. It why I love Journey and cultist Simulator. To me and seems to other people too this game is something beautiful.

    I went from feeling a little hesitant about playing (from seeing IGN's review) to looking forward to Death. The whole traversal system which IGN made out to be tedious and repetitive Skill explained it in detail and I think it is brilliant. From the simple idea of turning game travel which is always a routine and easy affair into the core gameplay loop is a great idea and 100% Kojima. I'm the type of gamer that has always loved seeing what was over the horizon in Skyrim and I can't wait now to play this.

    I think Kojima made this as a challenge to himself, or an example to the people who hate him. He took this *extremely* simple idea, taking one thing and putting it somewhere else, and then made people want to play it. Think about it, nobody likes a fetch quest in a game. But fetch quests ARE this game. He wrapped this fetch quest up in social motivation, interesting plot, and beautiful graphics, then gave it a bow and told you "Please, enjoy." We did, and we are, and we will. Kojima is showing us that he isn't done. He's only getting started.

    Either you've played the game and it wasn't your cup of tea, or you're judging based off of a let's play you watched. From my experience as someone who finds the game to be right up my alley, every point made in this review is true, even the points where he sorta grandstands with it. Each step you take requires precision, especially when handling large amounts of cargo, and depending on how you attune to the environmental tells, you can have an easy or hard time traversing the landscape. At certain sections of the game, it can shock or surprise the unsuspecting porter hauling deliveries upwards of 100kg, or it can be a timekiller where you build indirect connections with the other players you'll never see, but you will know are right there with you. It can be a repetitive game, and there's a noticeable amount of contentiousness in the art of it, however I disagree with the statement that the gameplay is terrible. At worst, it can be tedious at times, and at best it is unbelievably immersive.

How is this helpful? Mushroom patch nodes attracts unlimited water bears that you can eat & collect. If you are in a critical area that you know everyone will be fighting bad guys & there is no mushrooms then pee in safe place & start one. It takes a lot of players peeing on same mushroom so everyone needs to start doing this. Drink pee & let's do our part to make America great & connected again lol

    I think we all got a "wow that was awesome" moment in this game, the first time I was like "this is a different experience than anything I've ever played" Was when I was doing a delivery, it was very heavy, bb was stressed, it was raining, I was close to lose the cargo due to the acid damage and out of nowhere, I've found a rain shelter, playing the most heart warming song... Another player put the shelter there, and it was such a great experience, just different from everything else, cause he literally helped me, In real life, he saved my time, and helped me with the stress I was under, trying hard to finish that deliver and thinking that everything was over, I would lose the cargo and all... It's just something you have to experience yourself. This is coming from a guy who loves from software games, looter shooters and all of those action games.

You and I are here because some of them didn’t. Some of them, be it for self preservation or for the sake of those they care about managed to create a world where you could live. Yes bad people exist. So do good people. The world is not black and white. But the only way forward is together. Some things are instinct, the drive to reproduce. Inherent selfish behavior. But a fundamental part of being human is the ability to use reason, logic. To learn and adapt. Some of us overcome our baser instincts in an effort to grow.

    @Rom Art In many ways I thought the same thing as you. But I also think... there is still hope for this world and the people in it. You’re right that many people are mean or selfish. But we must also examine why people behave that way. If there is one thing I think made our world into what it is today, I believe that thing would be Fear. People are scared. Even scared of each other. I won’t pretend I have all the answers. But I think we can only heal the rift in the world with kindness and compassion. The only way we’re going to get more of that in the world is if we do it ourselves. And teach the next generations how to do it too. Instead we seem to be raising the children of the world to fear life itself.

    this was such an incredible review!! i've watched reviews both from people who liked the game, and people who hated it, but even amongst the ones who liked it, none of them managed to capture the awe and appreciation that you did here. you've officially sold me on this game hahaha i find it so interesting that people seemd to hate the multiplayer experience - i played the remaster for journey, and it has a very similar mp dynamic (that im not sure was in the original one) that i absolutely LOVED. the only difference was that you could actually see the players, but the only ways to interact with them was to let out that wordless beep, or to stand near them and have your robes recharged (i think?? it's been a while). nonetheless, simply the knowledge that there was another person on the same map as you made me feel incredibly connected and empathetic. i'm glad to see kojima felt the same way, and i'll get to experience that again!

    I was actually one of the only people excited and preordered this game and loved it when it came to the group of friends who also play games

    "Game is not for everyone" - oh? I'm interested. Nothing worse than games that ARE for everyone. And as per usual with this channel this is the best review I've seen/read so far.

    The quest where you transport the lady who wanted to reunite with her lover, then not just a hundred meters out of her place an accompanying melo music plays.. I felt joy.. This game is just so therapeutic, at least to me.

    I've waiting for a game to make traversal interesting for years and finally we have one. I love how Skillup has the ability to understand this and get it across on the review. Something you wont find in the joke of a review from IGN

    @A D from what I've seen, it would be boring(for me). Having to balance your weight and everything just dont seen fun at all. Using the paraglider and being able to scale everything in BotW at least was never a chore, which this game seems to be

    @@MrPedrogiorgi A chore for you possibly. Can promise that level of detail is not a chore for others. It's where the challenge of preparation and problem solving lies. Funnily, BotW has never appealed to me and I never got what people found fun. Doesn't make it bad, just not for someone like me.
