*Death Stranding is my GOTY.* I went into it expecting to hate it, but Kojima has somehow managed to create something very special. I've honestly never been a fan of his previous work, so it's a very welcome surprise. The secrets and references within the game aren't too exciting, but I loved the game enough to want to make a video about them. I hope you guys enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it, and thanks for watching!

@@dmitryrodionov2386 It's basically a single player game with a focus on story, so yes. When playing online, you never run into other players, but only their equipment. So someone could put down a bridge somewhere in their game, and it appears to other people playing on that server. It's a really nice use of multiplayer and it helps you out on your own quest.

Japanese game devs are also more likely to thank the player in the ending credits. A trivial thing perhaps, but comfy nonetheless.

And then all the extra things like other porters telling you happy birthday made me smile so hard.

I understand the criticisms people are having with the game but I have to say that personally I am having an incredible time with it. The art direction, soundtrack, story, performances and overall atmosphere of the game is completely out of this world. The amount of passion and imagination that has gone into this game shows and I am so happy to be playing through it, the synchronous co-op really makes the world feel alive with everyone helping each other out. Massive props to Kojima and his studio.

@sketchyth0ughts399

He is very auto biographical. P.T Silent Hill was a subtle way to tell his story at Konami. The woman was the FOX Engine/MGS and a few other monsters could be seen as him or Konami. MGS 5 Ground Zeroes: a mesage to Metal Gear fans. In 'Deja Vu' there are several knock-off Metal Gear games e.g. Metal Gear Liquid. Miller commemts that these aren't the true names (hinting at Konami planning to use the series as a cash grab). At the end Psycho Mantis says "You're a fan of Hideo Kojima games, aren't you?". This is him telling Konami "You can take my game, my engine and my entire IP but my fans will always remember ME" and it's even more insulting because in MGS2 Psycho Mantis says "You're a fan of Konami games, aren't you?". He was even in MGSV TPP as a Mother Base staff member. He made many appearances and used characters to subtly tell a separate story, and may have even dodged a Non Disclosure Agreement.

You left out, among the cameos, legendary horror artist Junji Ito as The Engineer. His face might not be as recognizable to western audiences, but his work is iconic. He's most likely in the game because he had previously been tapped as a collaborator on Silent Hills, to design monsters for the game.

Also, Die-hardman's real name is John Mcclane

so he is literally connecting "strands" between people both ingame and irl damn, no wonder how he come up with this idea KOJIMA IS GOD

They're a couple of cinematic parrallels as well: - The Tree of Life: During Heartman's family story, the beach that he sees with everyone walking looks exacly like a scene were we see the afterlife...fitting. - Apocalypse Now: During the last Cliff fight he rises from the water with marks on his face, just like in the movie during the climax. - Under the Skin: *MINOR SPOILERS* after the giant BT fight with Higgs when he shoots you and go to the Beach, if you look up while swimming you can see a giant Amelie walking over it. In the movie there's an EXACT shot like that, as the victims on the film drown an allways look up to see a walking """woman"" over the water. Most of Amelie's character is soooo similar to the protagonist of that film. - The End of Evangelion: *HUGE SPOILERS* when Sam is in the "moon" just sitting watching the beach covered in blood with the Earth on the background, looks like the film poster and everything about that scene feels a LOT like the apocalyptic climax of the movie. Sorry for my bad english. Hope someone makes a video about those or maybe others that I didnt catch (besides the movie posters and soundtracks you can find). Loved so much the game!

In Japanese version,Conan's voice is acted by Sugita Tomokazu(杉田智和) who acted Kazuhira Miller in MGS series. Also,Die Hardman's voice is acted by Otsuka Akio(大塚明夫) who acted Snake in MGS. Sugita san says a lot of lines breaking the 4th wall in the game,like"Boss,what took you so long?"or "Sugita kotoha ii"(過ぎたことは良い which means I dont care about past in Japanese) im sorry for my poor english Im 100% japanese

The game for first 4 hours is terrible just walking the 5 more with just blood grenades but now it's starting to develop I really hope the grind is worth it I was planning on 0laying over a month ago but got busy at work .....I hope kojima keeps making games but I hope he can make something a little more fun in the beginning not bad for his own game
