One of my favorite thing to do in Death Stranding is to go to the private room terminal and put on the music player then read the mails and interviews :)
I like when you are walking down a mountain coming into a new area and the camera zooms out and music starts to play and you can have a nice peaceful moment just taking in scenery.
Jesus Pratt because it requires common sense and the is of 1 to make this video and understand this game, and most people who haven’t even played the game doesn’t seem to have that
I love Death Stranding, I've also beaten the game. The one thing I dont like is how Higgs patronizes the player for wanting a boss fight. If Hideo does not want to put boss fights in his game, he shouldn't. It's his game. ❤❤
why? it has no challenge at all, you just walk from a to b multiple times, no stealth needed, you can avoid all enemies, bosses are a joke, you just throw granades to them and that's all.
The game is simply enjoyable. I always thought about why I loved it is because everything , from the technical point is amazing like sound design, graphics and movement. I think the game represent the next gen game in terms of how important graphics are . I think if the game didn’t have such an amazing graphics and sound design it wouldn’t be near good at least for me . The only issue about game is that I wanted to interact more with prepers around the world .
I was one of the cynics who wasn't excited about this game at all; it just did not look fun to play. But a buddy of mine insisted that I use his copy and just give it a try. I was reluctantly willing to give it at least 8-10 hours over the weekend just to say that i played it. 50 hours later, I realized this is one of the best games I've ever played. Had to get my own copy and now at 150 hours I can say that the journey was worth it.
I bought this for the hype and curiosity. I played it but never really knew what I was doing. It looked fantastic tho. Then I shelf it for like a year and didn't come back till this week. Wow, I can't believe how much I got into it knowing all the things u learn and can do.
I just want to say thank you for making this video. Every review I watched about this game left me unsure of if I wanted to play it or not. But after watching this video you convinced me to give Death Stranding a chance. So I've gone and bought it and I'm excited to play through it!
I really wanted to get this, Days Gone, and Witcher 3. I got witcher cuz it was 15 for all. I'm about to finish it and I don't know which one to get next?
Fantastic review. I just beat today and clocked in at 56 hours. I would sum this game up as beautiful. The visuals were beautiful, the story was beautiful. At it's heart it's about fatherhood. The gameplay was intricate, and had a huge learning curve but it was worth it. I think some people just don't have the patience for it, and that's fine. There's always call of duty for those people. I think another problem is that the game is way too ahead of it's time, so people don't know how to digest it. Could kojima have made a more accessible game for mass audiences? Yeah, but I'm so happy he didn't. There is no other game like death stranding. 9.5/10
just finished the game a year later after giving giving up on it a year ago, and i must say this game really is ahead of its time, really no other games like it, visual and gameplay wise, just breathtaking all in all every single moment in the game & story
@@chrisd653 definitely man, i’m shocked as to how this game didn’t pick up more recognition, but most people just probably see it as a grinding game, when really it’s the complete opposite
I avoided this game because of all the things I've heard about it when it first came out. Didn't sound like my cup of tea. After playing the Last of Us 2 and loving it even while so many people despise it, it's become pretty clear to me that I may have listened too much to the 'instant gratification' crowd. I believe you've changed my mind, sir.
YES! THANK YOU for praising the sound design. Oh my GOD it’s addicting. What’s also great is it goes with the motif of people getting hooked on little oxytocin-inducing stimuli
I'm 75 hours in, and I'm still in Episode 5... I've pretty much ignored standard orders, because although I like this game, I need to get on to other games. I'm sticking it out because I really like the story they're building, but I'm not doing anything more than the story missions from here on out haha.
@@Tyler_W that's more or less exactly what I did, I loved the character development and story, it is absolutely worth seeing through to the end for sure. I did start to get caught up in other games though and didnt want it to be one of those games I put on the back burner because I knew I would most likely not get back to it
Thank you so much. I was really looking forward to this game but after hearing all the reviews I decided not to get it but now you have inspired me to give it a chance. I'm gonna go get it rn
Baffling how people call it simply a dull walking sim. It’s one of the most complex system-driven games out there. They made traversal the real conflict of the game and challenging, it subverts open world conventions where traversal is routine and the meat is at specific points that trigger the quests.
First of all, this guy absolutely gets it! Overall, I loved and appreciated it in all its Kojima long-winded weirdness, but sheeeeeeeeeeesh. It was ALOT lol I don't see myself ever replaying this one but already anxious for his next project!
I love how this game quietly pays homage to Metal Gear Solid. Sam alone gives off an Ocelot Vibe. The way he is born. The similarities to his father's history, and the SORROW. That little gun pose in the mirror. He's not voiced by an former Ocelot, but his antagonist is voiced by one. Too many little coinsdences.
The 1st critique on Death Stranding that I almost 100% agree with, good job. A truly fantastic game, like no other. On a negative note; the things that pissed me off was one mission quite far into the game, order 432, you had to fetch a large amount of ceramics right next to Lake Knot City but you couldn't scale the cliffs, as if there was an invisible wall. Wouldn't even let you put a ladder up. I thought it was a glitch but no, it was forcing me to take a long route round, which I never managed to do. Edit: a-ha, I've found a secret tunnel to get the ceramics, happy days
THIS GAME HAS DESTROYED MY HEART.. I CRIED SO HARD AND GOT SO FAR...… BUT IN THE END IT DOESNT EVEN MATTER...!!!!! I 100% THIS GAME. GET THIS GAME RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!!!!
@John masterpiece it is. The story is not a masterpiece but still very good. The games message is connected beetwen the story and the gameplay. Sam is isolated, and when you almost never meet anyone and have to walk around in a ruined country you feel lonely yourself but when you see that other players who go through the same maybe makes a helpful bridge og path, you get reminded that your not alone. And over the story of the game, Sam reconnect with others and find his place in the world. And this is also connected to the real world. More and more people are getting lonely, and this game shows that we need to take care of each other. The gameplay while simple, still gives you the feeling of heaviness. Each package you take with you will affect your journey. This game is unlike any other, and Kojima has created a large and intresting world, and the great thing about it is that there will probably not be any sequels either. This is a gift to gamers. A real slap in the face to EA and Activision. A masterpiece more important now than it's ever before.
The game is good because it is relaxing, let’s you traverse a beautiful made world, has an engaging story, its different and makes you feel accomplished.
“Yes, this is a game that is entirely fetch quests. That’s the genius part.” Really needed someone to say this. Unbelievable how complex and fun they made it.
What's really unbelievable is the lengths that fanboys will go to in order to justify this as a brilliant masterpiece, rather than admit that this overly-convoluted, bloated hunk-of-shit game is merely 'okay' at best. This is definitive proof that Kojima is an overrated, pretentious prick with a transparent desperation to be recognized as the penultimate visionary artist, when instead, in all actuality, he's nothing more than a sorry-ass wannabe hack that's never going to actually have anything legitimately, originally interesting, intelligent, or unique to say. He just keeps regurgitating and spewing out the same retarded bullshit over and over, that he stole from someone else that said it WAY before he did. Oh yeah, and I actually LIKED the game. However, it's full of so many ridiculous plot-holes, inconsistencies, and flat-out bullshit mechanics that make the game get progressively worse the further that you get into it by making every obstacle almost meaningless. Again, I truly liked the game, but it's NOWHERE near a masterpiece in any way/shape/form whatsoever. Stop throwing out your backs and trying to break your spines whilst bending over backwards to constantly lick the crust from Kojima's dusty butthole. It's fucking pathetic. Have some fucking self-respect.
Gonna be real here, I saw people glorify this game and try to skin it like an alligator in red dead. I myself didn't care one bit about a dark, eery themed, almost spooky game which you collect stuff, but when I began to look at what you can do and how you can influence other people's playthroughs I realised how good this was and how much care went into it. I also second the fact that the story was pretty good.
Who has even called the game pretentious? If anything Kojima is the one I’d call pretentious considering how he said that Americans won’t like this game because they lack the “artistic sensibility” to enjoy it.
Dude I really wanted to buy this game now and probably still will, but thank you for the laugh and brutal honesty. Just subbed and loving your videos! 🤙🏻🔥
DUDE!!!!!! I remember watching "Enemy Mine" like 20 yrs ago. It was on bootleg cable, I couldn't find the title and never knew who acted in it. But I loved the movie, like alot. And you've reminded me of it. This nostalgic high has caused to speak from a place of great gratitude. I gotta watch this shit now. Thanks for being a man of reference.
I just started the game on PC and I am 20hours game now. Everything you said is so true about the gameplay and the way to aproach the game to have fun. Congratulation from France for this honest review.
I stopped and found this channel today and watched the starfield video. I just got to say, I really appreciate your reviews for games the community completely shat on. I enjoyed starfield, cyberpunk, I definitely NEED to play death stranding. Thank you.
Everything u just said makes me even more excited to play it tommarow and for 34$ u cant go wrong thanks for all the info I'm definly subscribing hard to find chanels that don't bitch about everything
Love the way u broke down this game bro!!! I always watch those 5 6 min reviews and will never again!!! I love this type of game and watching those "mainstream" reviews I never got the idea of yhe game play like u explained it. They all focused on the negative. But the negative was based on causentheybwerent playing the game right. Like u said. Good job bro!! Subscribed!!
I was missing my Maj0r Lee Non-Fucking-Star-Wars content so much that I went back two days ago and watched the factorio video, then bought it, and that's all I've done until today. Once I've flown my factory dude to mars or whatever, I expect I'll be getting this now too.
I just ordered Death Stranding from Amazon and it was supposed to be delivered to me this Sunday. I chose that day because it was a free shipping option. I just checked my email and it said it will be delivered tomorrow. I was so excited that my expected delivery will arrive 5 days early. I also don't have pay anything either. My free shipping is still being honored.
I spent two separate days of gameplay, a few hours each, just going around and building roads. Not even deliveries. I’ve almost connected the entire central region and I feel so accomplished.
I still believe the open world is a bit too rocky and could of used some different terrain types and I believe it was a bit empty of different types content. No random encounters with npc’s or side quests other than delivery. When the main story ended I couldn’t find myself going back to it. No interesting items to find out in the world. Also the compact was a bit too easy and not mean enough. I was hardly ever worried about enemies or combat with bosses. I’ll revisit it though and see if I can play again. But when I played it I did love it. He is right tho. The sound is great graphics too. It is unique. I was just wanting something more... Also you lost a little credit showing JJ Abrams talking. That guy is a hack.
the fight with higs was a reference to street fighter and similar arcade games. And at the same time more importantly a reference to the boos fight in mgs4 between solid snake and ocelot(liquid snake), that was also paying homage to the arcade era games :) it's an ester egg
So in other words, just imagine all the haters as people from Konami who fired Kojima because they don't know crap. And get the game because your review is awesome. Got it and thank you
Definitely the best gameplay I’ve ever had was brutally, one by one, installing a zip line express across the mountain region, like I was a pioneer conquering new land and taming it, discovering weird ruins and JUST BARELY making it to the next outposts. The end of my conquests usually ended in me skating down the mountain on my hover skateboard. 👍
Loved this game, took me a while to love it, you have to play it for days/weeks and the love grows, keep the faith, 1/3rd game, 1/3rd a movie/story, 1/3rd purely digital art
At 23:35, you are making fun of this guy because he exposed the reviewers saying the game is boring but gave a 10. At 23:17, in a quick flash of a review, it says: "the gameplay is slow and repetitive" and it gave a 92. So, who is biased?
Dude you just got a new subscriber... Just love it...I'm glad you like the game as I did. I'm also glad that I don't have a granular penis!!!! Lmao. Please keep the good work.
😂 When he said that, I had to fight off the urge to find out what OTHER games let you do this. As a new father of a 2yr old, I agree w/ Major… I love that lil piece of shit!
I got this game from Gamefly to try it out, just because of the negative reviews and you know what? I'm glad I got it and played it... This game was unique and great... Loved the story line and my favorite thing to do in this game is to replay the nightmares of ww1, ww2 and vietnam its an awesome gameplay... This game was so good that it got my wife hooked on it and she doesn't even play video games... Lol!
Great review by someone who actually took the time to play the game. Death stranding doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. Most negative reviews are from people who didn’t play the game properly. Like I’ve seen youtubers stacking way to many packages then get mad when they’re character falls, trying to drive a motorcycle over a fucking mountain🤦🏽♂️ etc etc.
The people that hate or keep on hating on this game must have no appreciation for art, or story telling. It's a game where you'll discover more about YOU as a player as well as the story. The game is beautiful I never played any MGS games but the trailer to this game 4 years ago caught my attention and been hooked ever since. From the scenery to the soundtrack there's so many things to enjoy from this game. Already half way thru my second playthrough and loving it like day one.
Most of games theme that center around the Player are hated Just look at undertale everybody love the quarky and cartoonish world but very few talk about the theme of fandoms and obsession
@@MechanicWolf85 and people blame developers and studios for not delivering "Good games" it's not them it's the player base that does not wanna understand a game in a deeper level look at Hellblade Sunuas sacrifice very underrated game
@John that's the biggest pile of rubbish I've heard in a while. It is a divisive game yes. It may not appeal to those who want constant action and fantasy in their games. But it is a goddamn masterpiece and Kojima pushed the Industry forward
@John that's why it turned one of the most hated objectives- fetch quests into one of the most fun gameplay loops right. Ensuring your cargos safe, preparing for the journey and the story is just exceptional . And then low roars beautiful music tops it all. Truly a masterpiece
@John imo one reason the game is truly so special is how fetch quests are made infinitely more interesting and fun due to the ever changing terrain, mules ,homo demens, BTs and structures left by others. A very special experience. In every other game fetch quests feel lame and boring but here it's just so addictive
I think the only thing I didn't love about this game was what you were actually doing, the to-ing and fro-ing I can see why I didn't click with everybody. I mean it was relaxing and could be fun, but was a lot to rest a whole game on. Everything else though, the actual way the game played, the music the story was all some of the best I've seen on this gen of console
Did you just show the witcher as an example as endless dialog, in case it wasn't the witcher 3 i wont down thumb. But you know you would be verry wrong
ppl need to make their own opinion by playing the game and try to understand the message and all the themes behind the game. Ds is not a typical game. It's a sensorial experience from an author and.... obviously all the MGS fans can be upset because they don't have enough combat gameplay, but when you try to understand Kojima philosophy he was always against violence and combat in games he was forced to work on countless MGS sequels after MGS2 and now he's finnally free from making super mega epic money grab scripted xxx "BIG BOSS" xxx super soldier spy infiltration games... So for me it's good to have a game like DS that put all the combat and the killing away for a fresh experience... It's not a game for everyone for sure, but what the game is trying to say by the themes, story, gameplay is so brave and beautiful, see all the connections you make with your fellows porters with the social strand system all that is really fresh and brand new on the gameplay part, it's about the rope that connect us all together in the game world. It's not a game for your average "Gamer" who always need some super mega epic fantasy main protagonist or story like all the money grab super popular RPGs or old MGS story line with super mega epic combat gameplay or super mega epic scripted cutscenes, all that is starting to get really old in games. The normal part like daily life of sam bridges is totaly fresh and new, no need for shooting everywhere or scripted events, when u look for the behind meaning of Higgs"the stick" in the game is a total meta message on how games nowadays are just all the same and boring with the same super mega epic fantasy action hero or antagonist and super mega epic scripted action cutscenes that can get really old. Death Stranding is a totally fresh and new experience and ppl need to try it and get to the end of the game with full study of all the messages and themes of the story. I really can't wait for Death stranding 2 and will buy it day one.
Haven't beaten the game yet but I only started playing it during this pandemic. And with what's happening right now, this game really gets to me. ♥️ Yeah! Very addicting! Having to skip things can be annoying. But the game mechanics and how the story unfolds (may it be with the side quests, reading email and interviews, or the actual cutscenes) is really really satisfying. 🤯 You'll just want to know and understand what happens next. Ya'll smash that like button! 👍
Bruh - I was one of those guys that felt Hideo dropped the ball man....10 months later after picking up where I left off (Chapter 2) I decided to push through....holy shit, man....just holy fucking shit.

What's really unbelievable is the lengths that fanboys will go to in order to justify this as a brilliant masterpiece, rather than admit that this overly-convoluted, bloated hunk-of-shit game is merely 'okay' at best. This is definitive proof that Kojima is an overrated, pretentious prick with a transparent desperation to be recognized as the penultimate visionary artist, when instead, in all actuality, he's nothing more than a sorry-ass wannabe hack that's never going to actually have anything legitimately, originally interesting, intelligent, or unique to say. He just keeps regurgitating and spewing out the same retarded bullshit over and over, that he stole from someone else that said it WAY before he did. Oh yeah, and I actually LIKED the game. However, it's full of so many ridiculous plot-holes, inconsistencies, and flat-out bullshit mechanics that make the game get progressively worse the further that you get into it by making every obstacle almost meaningless. Again, I truly liked the game, but it's NOWHERE near a masterpiece in any way/shape/form whatsoever. Stop throwing out your backs and trying to break your spines whilst bending over backwards to constantly lick the crust from Kojima's dusty butthole. It's fucking pathetic. Have some fucking self-respect.

There seems to be lots of dooty throwing in this game. I like your abrupt "alright". That cracked me up.
But even throwing feces at enemys is explained in the story. I just love how everything, no matter how weird or fucked up it is, makes sense.
Gonna be real here, I saw people glorify this game and try to skin it like an alligator in red dead. I myself didn't care one bit about a dark, eery themed, almost spooky game which you collect stuff, but when I began to look at what you can do and how you can influence other people's playthroughs I realised how good this was and how much care went into it. I also second the fact that the story was pretty good.
Anyone who thinks this game is pretentious are the ones being pretentious.
This game is too honest and sincere to be pretentious.
I dont know why people call it pretentious as positive and wholesome as it is
Exactly! They're probably the same kind of people who sneer at super intelligent people.
Who has even called the game pretentious? If anything Kojima is the one I’d call pretentious considering how he said that Americans won’t like this game because they lack the “artistic sensibility” to enjoy it.
@@puyopoyo7548 it is true that most americans do lack artistic sensibilities though, on top of other things.
Dude I really wanted to buy this game now and probably still will, but thank you for the laugh and brutal honesty. Just subbed and loving your videos! 🤙🏻🔥
This is a great review! I should reconsider going back in and playing to build more and complete more side missions
16:36 Ha! Jokes on you old man, you won’t receive your life saving meds anymore.
I thought I didn't like this game and here I'm took the time got the platinum and 347 hours later I exaly was a experience richer good video mate 👍
I can't believe I hadn't seen this video! I love it. Subscribed.
i love these kinds of videos. Please never stop making them.
I'm 200 hours into death stranding and still playing
Same, how can people beat it in 50 hours?!
played it, absolutely loved it, 10 out of 10.
Love this review I just wish you didn’t show any footage from after chapter 3!
DUDE!!!!!! I remember watching "Enemy Mine" like 20 yrs ago. It was on bootleg cable, I couldn't find the title and never knew who acted in it. But I loved the movie, like alot. And you've reminded me of it. This nostalgic high has caused to speak from a place of great gratitude. I gotta watch this shit now. Thanks for being a man of reference.
I dont like open worlds, fetch quests, or super long cut scenes, yet loved this game. Was just such an experience
I just started the game on PC and I am 20hours game now.
Everything you said is so true about the gameplay and the way to aproach the game to have fun.
Congratulation from France for this honest review.
„Coming next: The truth about toe sucking“ xD Fantastic! I mean „Fan-toe-stic!“
👍👍👍Excellent review and video major lee, thumbs up!!!👍👍👍
You deserve more views, this review just awesomely good. 👌
When Maj0r Lee uploads im a happy man
I stopped and found this channel today and watched the starfield video. I just got to say, I really appreciate your reviews for games the community completely shat on. I enjoyed starfield, cyberpunk, I definitely NEED to play death stranding. Thank you.
Love this channel, has me in stitches 😂
Everything u just said makes me even more excited to play it tommarow and for 34$ u cant go wrong thanks for all the info I'm definly subscribing hard to find chanels that don't bitch about everything
Awesome review I loved death stranding so much I’ve platinum’d it 😂
Same
Love the way u broke down this game bro!!! I always watch those 5 6 min reviews and will never again!!! I love this type of game and watching those "mainstream" reviews I never got the idea of yhe game play like u explained it. They all focused on the negative. But the negative was based on causentheybwerent playing the game right. Like u said. Good job bro!! Subscribed!!
I was missing my Maj0r Lee Non-Fucking-Star-Wars content so much that I went back two days ago and watched the factorio video, then bought it, and that's all I've done until today. Once I've flown my factory dude to mars or whatever, I expect I'll be getting this now too.
I just ordered Death Stranding from Amazon and it was supposed to be delivered to me this Sunday. I chose that day because it was a free shipping option. I just checked my email and it said it will be delivered tomorrow. I was so excited that my expected delivery will arrive 5 days early. I also don't have pay anything either. My free shipping is still being honored.
I spent two separate days of gameplay, a few hours each, just going around and building roads. Not even deliveries. I’ve almost connected the entire central region and I feel so accomplished.
I still believe the open world is a bit too rocky and could of used some different terrain types and I believe it was a bit empty of different types content. No random encounters with npc’s or side quests other than delivery. When the main story ended I couldn’t find myself going back to it. No interesting items to find out in the world. Also the compact was a bit too easy and not mean enough. I was hardly ever worried about enemies or combat with bosses.
I’ll revisit it though and see if I can play again.
But when I played it I did love it.
He is right tho. The sound is great graphics too. It is unique. I was just wanting something more...
Also you lost a little credit showing JJ Abrams talking. That guy is a hack.
Excellent review. Describes this game and the people that love it or hate it perfectly.
I can't wait for it to come out for PC, really excited for it
the fight with higs was a reference to street fighter and similar arcade games. And at the same time more importantly a reference to the boos fight in mgs4 between solid snake and ocelot(liquid snake), that was also paying homage to the arcade era games :) it's an ester egg
the cryptobiote eating during that higs fight a direct reference to them injecting themselves and each-other in mgs4 fight to heal
So in other words, just imagine all the haters as people from Konami who fired Kojima because they don't know crap. And get the game because your review is awesome. Got it and thank you
Definitely the best gameplay I’ve ever had was brutally, one by one, installing a zip line express across the mountain region, like I was a pioneer conquering new land and taming it, discovering weird ruins and JUST BARELY making it to the next outposts. The end of my conquests usually ended in me skating down the mountain on my hover skateboard. 👍
Loved this game, took me a while to love it, you have to play it for days/weeks and the love grows, keep the faith, 1/3rd game, 1/3rd a movie/story, 1/3rd purely digital art
At 23:35, you are making fun of this guy because he exposed the reviewers saying the game is boring but gave a 10. At 23:17, in a quick flash of a review, it says: "the gameplay is slow and repetitive" and it gave a 92. So, who is biased?
Dude you just got a new subscriber... Just love it...I'm glad you like the game as I did. I'm also glad that I don't have a granular penis!!!! Lmao. Please keep the good work.
It’s a very acquired taste game, definitely. But for me it’s like my second favorite game of all time.
Hey Lee, what did you think of The Rise of Skywalker?
Had problems but liked it a lot.
@@leelustig cool. I look forward to hearing you talk about it.
🤮
"it's important to know that this is one of those games that you spend many hours with a premature baby strapped to your chest"
😂 When he said that, I had to fight off the urge to find out what OTHER games let you do this. As a new father of a 2yr old, I agree w/ Major… I love that lil piece of shit!
I like delivering the packages...something simplistic like getting something from point A to point B. Its just oddly fulfilling
I got this game from Gamefly to try it out, just because of the negative reviews and you know what? I'm glad I got it and played it... This game was unique and great... Loved the story line and my favorite thing to do in this game is to replay the nightmares of ww1, ww2 and vietnam its an awesome gameplay... This game was so good that it got my wife hooked on it and she doesn't even play video games... Lol!
This review is so well made. Need more views
Great review by someone who actually took the time to play the game. Death stranding doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. Most negative reviews are from people who didn’t play the game properly. Like I’ve seen youtubers stacking way to many packages then get mad when they’re character falls, trying to drive a motorcycle over a fucking mountain🤦🏽♂️ etc etc.
Throwing my doo doo at people was always my biggest dream.
26 mins well spents with watching this review. Great job!!!
The beast roast of the video 10:00. Thanks Maj0r Lee
God your making me want to do another playthrough! I already have a platinum trophy. Jesus this game is addicting
The people that hate or keep on hating on this game must have no appreciation for art, or story telling. It's a game where you'll discover more about YOU as a player as well as the story. The game is beautiful I never played any MGS games but the trailer to this game 4 years ago caught my attention and been hooked ever since. From the scenery to the soundtrack there's so many things to enjoy from this game. Already half way thru my second playthrough and loving it like day one.
Most of games theme that center around the Player are hated
Just look at undertale everybody love the quarky and cartoonish world but very few talk about the theme of fandoms and obsession
@@MechanicWolf85 and people blame developers and studios for not delivering "Good games" it's not them it's the player base that does not wanna understand a game in a deeper level look at Hellblade Sunuas sacrifice very underrated game
It is a masterpiece. It might not be for everyone but that doesn't stop it from being a masterpiece
@John most perfect scores of 2019 dude. Also 3 awards at tga. Aaaaand from my experience through 2 playthroughs, it is a masterpiece
@John that's the biggest pile of rubbish I've heard in a while. It is a divisive game yes. It may not appeal to those who want constant action and fantasy in their games. But it is a goddamn masterpiece and Kojima pushed the Industry forward
@John that's why it turned one of the most hated objectives- fetch quests into one of the most fun gameplay loops right. Ensuring your cargos safe, preparing for the journey and the story is just exceptional . And then low roars beautiful music tops it all. Truly a masterpiece
@John imo one reason the game is truly so special is how fetch quests are made infinitely more interesting and fun due to the ever changing terrain, mules ,homo demens, BTs and structures left by others. A very special experience.
In every other game fetch quests feel lame and boring but here it's just so addictive
@John and 60 hours?? Dude the main campaign was 30 hours. What are you talking about?
Gotta warn about spoilers, I'm midway through and some of those cutscenes are a bit revealing.
This channel is so underrated
Thanks to this review I’m going to play this game
I think the only thing I didn't love about this game was what you were actually doing, the to-ing and fro-ing I can see why I didn't click with everybody. I mean it was relaxing and could be fun, but was a lot to rest a whole game on. Everything else though, the actual way the game played, the music the story was all some of the best I've seen on this gen of console
I def was beyond lost in the beginning I thought edibles kicked in too fast only to realize this is an entire trip lol
Did you just show the witcher as an example as endless dialog, in case it wasn't the witcher 3 i wont down thumb. But you know you would be verry wrong
ppl need to make their own opinion by playing the game and try to understand the message and all the themes behind the game.
Ds is not a typical game. It's a sensorial experience from an author and.... obviously all the MGS fans can be upset because they don't have enough combat gameplay, but when you try to understand Kojima philosophy he was always against violence and combat in games he was forced to work on countless MGS sequels after MGS2 and now he's finnally free from making super mega epic money grab scripted xxx "BIG BOSS" xxx super soldier spy infiltration games...
So for me it's good to have a game like DS that put all the combat and the killing away for a fresh experience...
It's not a game for everyone for sure, but what the game is trying to say by the themes, story, gameplay is so brave and beautiful, see all the connections you make with your fellows porters with the social strand system all that is really fresh and brand new on the gameplay part, it's about the rope that connect us all together in the game world.
It's not a game for your average "Gamer" who always need some super mega epic fantasy main protagonist or story like all the money grab super popular RPGs or old MGS story line with super mega epic combat gameplay or super mega epic scripted cutscenes, all that is starting to get really old in games.
The normal part like daily life of sam bridges is totaly fresh and new, no need for shooting everywhere or scripted events, when u look for the behind meaning of Higgs"the stick" in the game is a total meta message on how games nowadays are just all the same and boring with the same super mega epic fantasy action hero or antagonist and super mega epic scripted action cutscenes that can get really old.
Death Stranding is a totally fresh and new experience and ppl need to try it and get to the end of the game with full study of all the messages and themes of the story.
I really can't wait for Death stranding 2 and will buy it day one.
Haven't beaten the game yet but I only started playing it during this pandemic. And with what's happening right now, this game really gets to me. ♥️ Yeah! Very addicting! Having to skip things can be annoying. But the game mechanics and how the story unfolds (may it be with the side quests, reading email and interviews, or the actual cutscenes) is really really satisfying. 🤯 You'll just want to know and understand what happens next.
Ya'll smash that like button! 👍
Bruh - I was one of those guys that felt Hideo dropped the ball man....10 months later after picking up where I left off (Chapter 2) I decided to push through....holy shit, man....just holy fucking shit.
@Maj0r Lee 10:52 You are hilarious my friend. You put a lot in your videos, thank you man.
I think we should be thanking ol' Joel for that one!
