I haven’t even played the first game yet
It’s an exceptional game, IF you can stomach the gameplay loop. Some might describe it as a walking simulator, a beautiful one, but a walking simulator nonetheless.
It also has some great story telling, but the gameplay loop won’t change, so if you find that too boring, it might not be a game for you.
I’m gonna be that guy and say that death stranding isnt a walking simulator by definition, walking simulators as a genre are more like visual novels meanwhile death stranding id more call a hiking simulator about the logistics of going from A to B.
I’d say death stranding is more like euro truck simulator on foot than it is stanley parable. Other than that pretty much my thoughts on the game.
I LOVE that description, and I completely agree. What I’ve noticed though, with people that do not enjoy the game, that they’ve all labeled it as a walking simulator.
So I do get their ‘feeling’
Preorders are bad, mkay?
I agree, but that doesn’t make me less excited lol. Hideo Kojima is a lil insane but his games have all been a real experience.
Even the one I enjoyed the least (mgs iv) still had several fantastic moments and would still gladly pay for full price for. I will gladly pre-order things from a fair number of devs personally
Watching the trailer video 10 times in a row is also slightly insane, but is free at least.
I think I understand even less than after the trailers for Death Stranding 1.
