Most everyone acknowledges the same problem, it just varies between actually giving it a bad rating, recognizing the terrible parts of the game but still giving it a 9 or 10 out of 10 while being unable to explain why, or those who honestly don't give a drat about the terrible parts and feel you shouldn't either.

Death Stranding is a good game. That's just a fact.

I'm very interested in seeing the 2 hour end of game cutscene that still doesn't make the plot comprehensible.

If nothing else it’s hard to hate a game that allows you to weaponize piss and poo poo.

If you read between the lines of these reviews even the glowing ones talk about doing a lot of tedious repetitive tasks over and over except it's called "ponderous" and "meditative" if the critic liked it. I dunno, I'm getting RDR2 vibes here which I ended up skipping for the same overindulgent reasons.

I bounced off of RDR within about two hours of starting it. It was just too slow getting from one location to another to do something there. DS is all about the travel itself being what you are doing. Also you still appear to move faster just walking/running than in RDR. Add in vehicles and things like ladders and rope and it seems like a much better time.

I dunno, I liked the tedium of RDR2. Spending a day scooping up horse poo poo, building a fence, milking cows and picking up eggs only to get paid $3 at the end made me bust out laughing.

I love games that celebrate the mundane, Shenmue and Gone Home are some of my favorites of all time. Just not for 60 hours.

It would be a different story if every review was bad. I'm extremely excited for it but that doesn't mean it'll be good or fun but at least it sounds like it'll be something different.

Yeah even if I end up hating the game I’d much rather have an interesting/ambitious failure than something that tries really hard not alienate anybody even if the latter is “better”.

I mean, I know it has its faults, and I totally get why others didn't like it but I loved it. I hope I love Death Standing for similar reasons.

After the credits, the camera pans out to reveal that Sunny and George and Dog-Shaped Robot Buddy have been playing Death Stranding the whole time. George looks at Sunny, and she shrugs. Cut to black, game done.

If this game lets me do that but in the future it's my GOTY
