Hideo Kojima: Death Stranding, our first child (original IP) after the establishment of KJP, has over 16 million users worldwide 4 years after its launch (as of December 16, 2023). Thank You.

I thought it was really relaxing... until it suddenly is super stressful. By the time you finish the game the stressful parts aren't an issue anymore though.

Yeah i will admit the ooze shit got to me a lot haha. But that took it from casual relaxation to heart pounding back down to thank fuck its relaxing again

Have you played the game? While true, you can boil down the game to "you deliver packages" there's a lot more to it. There's planning your equipment and weight distribution, evaluating the best route and adapting when something unexpected shows up, the give and take of the social strand system, etc.

It's for sure not a game for everyone and I don't begrudge anyone who says they don't enjoy it but the one liner that pretty much everyone boils it down to does a disservice when describing how much is actually involved

Gameplay wise, it’s looks fucking boring.

Everything else-wise, this is the probably closest we’re gonna get to Kojima making a film.

Nah, pass. I'm soured on the game now. And there's a ton of other great games to play.

I got the game for $7 on fanatical last week and yesterday whenever I was playing it, I went to go take a dumb and there was an ad for an AMC show.

Really took me out of it tbh.

Yep, it's the most shameless ad I've ever seen built into a video game.

Yes. This post apocalyptic wasteland in the far future is littered with cans of Monster Energy drink which act as healing potions. So it's not like you can avoid them either.
