  • Death Stranding is Hideo Kojima's latest project and since it's release reviews have been very polarizing. What is it about Death Stranding that leaves people loving it or hating it? What's up with the story? And how did the gameplay turn out? Only one way to find out...

    It's ok to like this game and its ok to dislike it but can we all agree that we should've killed Fragile with our motorcycle in the beginning? Game would've been WAY better.
    Also stay safe with that COVID-19 shit going on! Hope you guys are enjoying your stay inside lol I'll try to put out more videos while this shit is going on. Keep your spirits up! Don't you dare go hollow.

    for me this game scratches an itch that like, no other game does. i love the feeling of planning out what i need to bring on my expedition, plotting a route on my map, following along as best i can or suddenly having to adapt to an unexpected variable, the feeling of taking a break halfway through where you find a little nook or cranny where you can let Sam rest and at the same time, get up from your chair and go make some food, then come back 15 minutes later and continue your journey..

    When I first saw those monster energy drinks I just thought "Of course Kojima would do that" and went about my day.
    I then proceeded to do actions in the mirror for a good 5 minutes because Sam is such an awkward goofball.

Spend majority of budget on A-list actors (mind you he barely afforded Kiefer Sutherland in MGSV on a 80 milllion budget) and reduce a workload of animation as the act man pointed out. Which is why game came out relatively quick. End result: Sony got dissapointed in sales and will hand Kojima a much smaller budget for next game and hopefully someone to keep him in line.

      @@cristobalbalenciaga7295 I think it's because the core mechanic of death stranding is terrain traversal, each mission you set out on is a sort of gamble between efficiency and failure. Do you carry less cargo to make the journey easier, or more cargo to make more money on the trip? Do you bring a lot of traversal tools like ropes and ladders and further overburden yourself or bring less and risk having to take a longer or more dangerous route around a mountain? The game was specifically designed to make traversal the focal point of conflict. I don't think any other game has done that before. So with most games if you fall climbing up a mountain it's usually disappointing because the challenge of the game is a dungeon or something at the top of mountain (i.e. the destination you are trying to go), not the journey of actually getting there.

      @Azazel There's 9 billion people on the planet. I'm sure you aren't the only one. I wouldn't call him a genius so much as a creative revolutionary.

There's hardly a blockbuster made today that hasn't been at least a little (and sometimes a lot) influenced by his work.

    • @vagrant1515

      There is a lot of 'Japanese' cheese that makes it a lot harder for the western audience to get into his games. That said, they are all very poignant for many different reasons. Metal Gear Solid was one of the very first cinematic fully voiced video games in the industry. Kojima was one of the first that bridged the divide between video games and the big screen. Beyond pioneering this, he also has pioneered the stealth action genre of games. He is one of the most influential names in the industry along with many other greats. That said I understand why his games turn off a lot of people, the same way that Anime is highly beloved world wide but almost always makes me cringe when I watch it.
      But where his genius lies to me, is his direct dissection of Western Culture, and tackling deep themes that are systemic in our culture and affects the rest of the world. He's an incredibly intelligent and learned man, and most people that can get through his games from beginning to end will quickly figure that out.
      Death Stranding, I personally thought was a masterpiece. It's one of the few games in the last five years I was able to finish from beginning to end. Had an incredible story. But mixed between 40+ hours of exploration gameplay I can see why it turned many people off.

    I understood everything based on context. And I knew the parts I was not familiar with would become clear. It's mystery.
    It played something like this:
    Tears, an Allergy. Ok so he is having an allergic reaction to.. Chiral?
    (It's asymmetry in molecules so Sam is allergic to beings in a mirror dimension. So his Allergic reactions alert him to their presents, we wont know that. But might have heard 'Chiral' before.)
    You have DOOMS like me?
    Ok, "You have dooms, its either a disease, condition or super power. Lets see.
    I have the extinction factor? Hmm.. doesnt sound good, shelve that. But she has him beat, so Sam has whatever this is. But she is clearly on a higher level.
    Ok, so there are levels. Sam is at a level that allows him to sense them close by. Kindof hear/see them. But not See See them. Weird, ok.
    But she can teleport. And see them. Ok, so how high does this go?
    The anatomy is weird.
    She's eating... Eww.. Ok, so eating those supposedly either controls the weather or is a way to treat its effects or something like this I assume.
    No idea how you cannot follow. Its clear, yes there is alot you do not know. But the fucking stories conclusion isn't going to be handed to you. Clearly its complex, go along for the ride.
    Every part of this game is a masterpiece if you get over yourself and just let the game wash over you. It blew me away over and over and left me speechless. I wanted to immediately play it again. But I wanted it all to be fresh again. I was sad that I could not experience it for the first time again.
    That has never happened.

      It's one of very few games where the way the story is told has actually held my attention and got me intrigued right from the start.
      This reviewer has no understanding of story telling at all. He seems to be unable to let his mind explore possibilities and allow the game to unfold over time.
      Which isn't to say he's useless, just that his mind might be better utilised reviewing operating manuals for machinery or something.

    That's why my strategy is not moving into the uncharted areas until I built the roads into it. The cost of resources for the road is nothing compared to the risks that come from riding blind into the unknown. The countless return trips will make the grindy road investments worth it. If the roads don't go into the secluded prepper camps, I can just simply hop off my vehicle from the closest road side, park under a time fall shelter, then leg it with a floating carrier from there. Much better than hauling back-breaking tons climbing steep slopes and crossing deep waters.

How they treated promising characters poorly by shafting their character development or with poor writing, and how overly pretentious it rubbed off onto me.

    @echomjp Před 9 měsíci +62

    This game is divisive because its core premise for gameplay is one that isn't really implemented to this degree in pretty much any other game.
    Needing to plan out your route, adapt on the fly to changing terrain and storms (or bandits), and then successfully pulling off everything is a feeling of accomplishment I haven't felt in many games before. Yet just like going on a hike is in real life - it takes time and some effort, so if you're just looking for quick action you aren't going to enjoy it. The accomplishment is in successfully overcoming the minute to minute navigation and managing longer trips - without that challenge and without the constraints, there wouldn't be much to this game.
    I greatly enjoyed this game, and I'm hardly a Kojima fan - I have yet to ever play the Metal Gear Solid games (though I have seen them played and am quite familiar with them indirectly).
    It has some questionable decisions at times, such as how long it takes to do anything when resting in terms of long animations and the like. But the actual navigation elements are the selling point of this game, and only people who actually enjoy needing to plan out their moment to moment route and do pathfinding will enjoy it. For those of us who do, it's an extremely unique experience.

      but you would get the same thing from just going on a hike, like seriously your not wrong but when you come home after work to have fun, do you really want to do something in a game that you could just do irl (I know you said that in your comment but still, it's a game and if you really wanted that experience then why not actually experience it). I respect your view on this, but even the route finding can be had in a lot of open world games, like Days Gone for example, and it's fun yes, but to make that into the entire concept of a game with a complete disregard for proper (and arguably interesting) story narrative seems like a bit of stretch.
      Again no disrespect and I respect your opinion because what you have said is correct, but to have it considered to be a good game on par with other triple A titles is (again) a stretch.

      @@noahrodricks5923 First of all, going on a hike requires going out of the house and finding a good spot. Secondly, going on a hike doesn't tend to involve you carrying ladders and other items with you, or jumping into vehicles on the fly to navigate, or dealing with mind-numbing horrors or bandits. It also requires you be in a certain level of physical fitness, and you can't take extreme risks because in real life you might end up falling off a cliff in a way you can't get back up from.
      Yes, I want to do things in a game I can do in real life if the experience itself is enjoyable.
      I don't see how you can argue that Death Stranding lacks a "story narrative," though. It very clearly has one of those, and it is brought together by all of your interactions and movements as you move through the story. Unless by lacking a "story narrative" you mean to say "I dislike its pacing," which is entirely subjective.

      @@echomjp No, I'm saying the pacing is shit and the game narrative is what you would call 'hanging off threads' which basically means that throughout the game it lacks key features that should be in any good story,
      1. The villain does not have a motive for his actions, and is just said that he wants to see the world burn. The shit thing about this is that the line of who this comes from is in reference with the joker, actually had a motive in the dark knight, which was to prove the innate madness of men. Higgs doesn't have some secret motive like the joker, and he's not even looking for power cause if he really wanted to he could have killed Sam whenever he wanted, and he makes this clear as well. this meaning his reason for his actions being 'seeing the world burn' is a poorly written, cope-out for why a villain is a villain, like I could understand if he worshiped the BT's but he doesn't, he just controls them to a degree.
      2. Sam, the main character has no real relationships in game due to his Aphenphosmphobia, meaning he doesn't empathise, he doesn't ever truly interact with anyone, and he doesn't have anything for the player to relate to expect maybe he loss, which is the main theme of the story, and yet there isn't any revelation to this nor him coming to terms with this, his simply completes objectives given to him. The curve ball of this is that he speaks, which doesn't make sense for the character they were going for. They should have either made him more relatable or had him a silent protagonist, not some in-between cause it doesn't work.

Most people do not get it then its about connecting people and come together to safe humanity basicly helping each other and Hideo did great job with that, everything is perfect story, gameplay, graphics and most important actors acting. The main story is heartbreaking aspecially If You are a father with the Hideo Kojima twists it's not a post man game its more then this for me its masterpiece but Man the content for this video its very creative and even we have differnet opinions I like how You put it all together hehe

The final chapters were incredible...the final bosses, the one scene where it's like an old-timey fighting game with Troy Baker's character, and the cutscenes. As far as the main character being unlikeable..I can see that as well, but I like that he didn't fit into the typical mold of a protagonist.

      @ShiningXwolf Před 4 lety +1

      Very few people have put in enough time to accurately describe why. I, unfortunately, am one.
      It's actually really good on the surface. The "campaign" claims are BS but the RPG gameplay and stat-play is robust and allows for amazing customization, but the game is plagued by being just a complete shit-show cash grab with every single stat on every single piece and every single drop being randomized. You rely on crossing your fingers and hoping for hours and hours and hours to make progress with no garuntees, even if you drop thousands. I've played for over a year and put 1200 into the game, which disgusts me in retrospect, even though I still play to this day, but it really is nothing compared to the majority of the community. There are a few end game f2p players but they don't even come close to as strong as even moderate paying players. It has a solid community if you find the right channels to hang out in, and the RPG system is good once you put enough time in to collect a large amount of gear to sort through and play with, but it has a few major flaws that are inherent to mobile gaming that ultimately kill it for most people at the start.
      But I also get that it's a meme at this point that people poke at because of the over-sponsorship on youtube. Most people haven't played it for more than 20 minutes or even at all and just love to hate it for the wrong reasons, even though it deserves to be hated.

    Thank you for the excellent and funny analysis, I agree with the points raised. For me, Death Stranding is a simulator, and it's not just a walking simulator. I think it's a trekking simulator with elements of delivering goods and construction, interspersing the use of vehicles in the process, as well as having combat elements. Of course, there is also the mission to reconnect the country by going from city to city to connect them in the game's Internet of sorts, the Chiral Network.
    Death Stranding is essentially a game focused on management (the load conditions, the main character, the weight carried, the balance when walking when facing the game's physics, etc.), strategy (the best route to reach a certain destination, which is the best trail to move around the terrain, which equipment to use, which method to approach when dealing with enemies, etc.) and construction (of structures for the character to use to facilitate movement to the destination). Furthermore, the story provides the character's main mission, which is to connect all cities in the USA to a type of Internet, called the Chiral Network, essential for reconnecting cities and rebuilding an already devastated world.
    I believe that playing Death Stranding adds a very rich learning experience from a cognitive point of view and a poetic and artistic experience. But, it is a simulator, which tends to have a simulator pace, that is, detailed, full of variables, which tends to be slow, focused on management and strategy, and it is not recommended to play in a hurry (as this makes the game boring). If someone can accept that, I think they tend to have a good experience.
    Although Death Stranding has a complex story, it does not have an engaging plot and its development is quite slow. Furthermore, the stories involving the delivery points we need to visit are shallow, usually just involving the description of each location's supply needs. In reality, most of the time, Death Stranding proves to be a great simulator. The emphasis of Death Stranding is on the gameplay experience, on the emotions and sensations that come from there.
    Therefore, the game really focuses on gameplay mechanics (as simulators in general do). Most of the time, we have to go from one point to another, whether to make a delivery or connect a certain point to the game's Internet (the Chiral Network), facing obstacles along the way, with scenarios taking time to change. Therefore, the game ends up becoming repetitive if the player's expectations are not aligned with the game's proposal. In reality, even though Death Stranding presents changes in scenarios and situations, the game's great variation lies in the variety of routes across the terrain that can be taken and the multiple combinations of equipment and tactics that can be adopted, and the experience of all this, with the emotions and sensations derived from that experience.
    "Games, in general, are focused on dominating enemies. However, in Death Stranding, the focus is on mastering yourself, on managing resources well, on reaching the destination, on choosing the best route, etc., and placing appreciation in this process. Death Stranding is an experiment in self-knowledge. It is a game focused on experience, something that can only be lived, not transmitted in words." (excerpt transcribed from the video "Death Stranding: Misunderstood Masterpiece [SPOILERS]", from the Futurasound Productions channel).
    Considering all this, I think the most important thing in Death Stranding is not the end, but the process of moving forward. With that in mind, what happens at the ends of missions is less important than what happens in the middle. The sense of progression in Death Stranding lies in improving yourself and increasing your own experience, helping others in the process. If someone can accept that, they tend to have a good experience.

      While I was playing it, it was a work of art. I'm kinda patient though, and don't frustrate easily, so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.
      I spent a lot of time right at the beginning reclaiming other players' lost packages and building recharging stations/placing ladders across rivers, because I genuinely wanted to help their scores.
      It really encourages you to just be nice. Imagine the polar opposite of a cod lobby. You can't even directly talk to people, but if you see where beginners couldn't finish a delivery or took a bad route and you're on the way there...then why not?
      Eventually there are some players whose names and pfps you start to recognize on constructions, and you can tell they're being altruistic.
      Like you'll know a high level guy surely has a truck, but he's throw out some ropes across the river for people to use. Very nice.

Snake runs around in high-tech stealth gear but can pull a cardboard box out of thin air and crawl around in it like a kid's cartoon, and kidnaps enemy soldiers by strapping them to a device which flies up into the air all the while they're scream at the top of their lungs.. but it's a silent action. And there's always plenty of dumb jokes throughout the cutscenes, mgrr comes to mind in particular.
