Well, people who know a bit about myself probably knows what I think about Kojima. I like Policenauts (even if I think it looks quite rushed) and I played every Metal Gear Solid game, but haven't actually finished any of them. In my vision, Hideo Kojima is a very overrated guy.
But... Since we actually need to know people better before judging them, I decided to give another Kojima game a try. So I got Death Stranding: Director's Cut. And I made this thred to give my opinion on it while I play.
Before moving on, let me show the rules for the thread. You can talk anything about the game, except:
- Spoilers for the plot
- Amount of chapters/missions in the game.
- Length of the game.
You can tell your opinions about game and comment on missions I'm going through. Just don't give me any ideas if I'm close to the ending, or what's left to do. And of course, spoilers for the plot. By the way, I'm playing in Brazilian Portuguese, so some names and stuff may be different from other languages.
Well, I'm on Chapter 2 right now. Well... I'm actually enjoying Death Stranding so far. But not for the gameplay. What I'm loving is the twisted plot and the cinematics. It feels like watching a movie. A good movie.
About the gameplay... I suspect Kojima wasn't thinking too much about that. No, the gameplay isn't bad, but it feels like an excuse to give you something to do between one cutscene and another. I'm playing for a couple of hours and only had two or three deaths, playing on Normal. I disagree that this is a Walking Simulator like some people say. Yeah, you got to walk a lot, but other walking simulators I played had much less stuff going on.
I'll keep playing. I'm interested in seeing how the story will move on.
Let's see if I change my opinion about that guy.
