I am glad Death Stranding exists; it's different, I've never played anything like it before. For my first 30 or so hours of this game I actually really enjoyed the mechanics. I'd take my time through the world and have fun just making deliveries; I knew what I was getting into when I bought the game. I also played in anticipation for the cutscenes and was especially intrigued by Mads Mickelson's character. But After those 30 hours, around that bloody snowy mountain bit, I found myself being annoyed at the gameplay and decided to rush through the rest of the game as fast as possible to get it over with. I hated it. And loved it. I'm very confused, just like the internet seems to be.

Hi Cadds. Thank you for sharing your honest opinion about the game and explaining why you felt the way you did. I can see why other people like the game, but from what I can tell about it, it's not something that interests me either. Personally, if I wanted to play a game where you're a courier who tries to make a difference on a post-apocalyptic America, I would just play Fallout: New Vegas. Thanks for the video.

I loved putting on a podcast, going on a long gorgeous yet creepy and weird trek, and then feeling like I've created bonds with complete strangers as I study their paths through an area, leave flags that also help, etc. etc. I understand why it's so divisive and it's... kind of hard for me to recommend it? But I adored it.

@@Gruntvc but it's funny, because i loved every mgs up to 4, despised ground zeroes and phantom pain, yet am loving every moment of death stranding (even if i found the post-failure to flee bt encounters disappoingly boring) The thing is... I LOVE how he got rid of the core ideas from all the games he took inspiration from, keeping in only the nieche systemic stuff, creating a one of a kind game by nature of it being nothing at all unique... It's basically the opposite of the last of us, which i found disappointingly unoriginal.

Death stranding really made me feel like a UPS man

God damnit, now I want to see the main character replaced with Postman Pat in this game.

I actually really enjoy the slowness of the beginning for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. It being so soul-crushing while still being mechanically deep (how to organize your load, working together with strangers to build structures to make your lives easier, keeping balance on poor footing, planning routes through/away from BT territories) kind of drives home the fact that everything in this world is miserable. There's a lot of goofy Kojima bits like the whole Monster Energy thing, and some of the dialogue feels very silly and fourth-wall-breaking just for the sake of being a video game, but that's what I signed up for. A common opinion I've heard about this game is that it's the most expensive niche indie title of all time, and I think that hits it right on the head.

As Caddy says... the biggest issue this has is that people think it's an action game. But if you think of it as a puzzle/strategy adventure game it makes more sense. It's more about managing your resources, structures and balancing things as you journey from A to B. If you don't like it, that's cool, but I personally love it. The atmosphere and mood sucked me in so it didn't feel too tedious.

Well i guess I’m “indifference doroitis man”

I'm convinced that watching a commentary free playthrough of DS while skipping through a lot of the gameplay, was the best way to experience it.

Here's the biggest critical flaw of Death Stranding's existence: Kojima has had his trademark weird, wild, somewhat thought-challenging and meta-breaking stories done before... in games that actually felt like really damn good games to play and kept you engaged to see what happened next in Kojima's weird mindspace. He's proven he can do it, and just decided not to, and string players along for tens of hours for them to enjoy only half of what made his work interesting.

Just sucks that the first original IP in question falls so short of what I know he's capable of in the gameplay department.

Well, if it was released by EA, it would probably be filled with microtransactions to speed up gameplay and already have dlc planned for it at launch. To be CRYSTAL CLEAR, I am NOT trying to defend this game (for the most part). It still falls shorts as a game in many areas, but the reasons why it falls are still more fascinating and much more of a learning experience than yet another 60$ microtransaction fest where it's the same controversy all over again, which is what would probably happen with EA. My alternate universe self from that timeline is already bored with the same copy-paste reception of an EA-made Death Stranding. I would know. He told me.

That is a smooth transition to sponsorship right there.

If the game doesn't grab you within the first 10 hours, you probably won't enjoy it after 50 either. The fun in this game comes from the lonely journey, the rare but well placed pieces of music, the inventory micromanagement, the risk/reward of trying different routes and methods of carrying cargo and of course the story. I can definitely see why some people wouldn't enjoy this (it's certainly meant to be consumed in large chunks at a time which people may not have spare), but I feel like going into it with the mindset of "I will give it X hours before I expect something amazing to happen" is the wrong attitude to have
