Edit: He has also said that, but he said he sucked at the stealth which I can't judge since I've only played MGS3.

I was all ready to defend Dan until I heard him say that, holy poo poo he only plays MGS games as shooting action games, what the gently caress

I was really on the fence about this due to the very consistent bashing of the game's story as being super surface level and never going anywhere, but I was listening to the Beastcast and heard something kind of weird that makes me question if it's really that bad. Vinny/Alex were talking about how every metaphor totally bashes you over the head and it's all super surface level with nothing to dive into. Abbey then asked if the "likes" are good or bad since the MULE's went crazy because of them, and Alex's response is "I don't really know, the game never tells you"

hmm.

I'm pretty sure they meant as a game mechanic that might have some sort of impact, not in the lore sense.

Dan is a very thickheaded person, and I honestly love him for it.

So far, Austin Walker's absorption of what this game is from his cohorts is where I'm currently at. He likes slow-rear end games that he can dissect and so do I, usually.

I guess this would also make sense considering neither of them knew about the shoulder check and Alex beat the game not knowing you could run from the BT minibosses

Considering the amount of mechanics that are never really explained in MGSV alone, I think it's likely many intelligent players will miss stuff like that no matter what.

To people who play at release: post your impressions as you're playing, I don't want to wait like 30 hours for the first post when you already changed your opinion 5 times.

Will do! I've just spent about an hour on the opening credits first very short mission, wandering around and getting a feel for the controls etc.

Coop would appreciate that this game has a button that lets you say "Hellooooo!".

Game is cool so far! I'd usually wait longer to post, but I'm adhering to the thread mission here. The opening credits and the music choice are excellent, and the world is imagination grabbing.

Day Zero: I sit at the hotel bar, 2 1/2 drinks in. I will order another one.

I asked my girlfriend, do you think death stranding will be good?

I’ve contemplated this question for a week. I’ve watched some reviews, stopping when I get too much information.

She replies, “Do we have HBO?”

I say no and goodnight. I don’t need an answer. I’m about to finish the prelude.

Tomorrow, I’ll drive three hours to deliver Death Stranding to my house. Tomorrow, I will deliver my first package.

Hell yeah! I did about 90 minutes round trip to a game store that gave me a copy at 9pm, successful mission.

And HBO did have Tales From the Crypt, which was one of the the finest shows.

Took about 30 extra seconds before it unlocked

First ten minutes: holy poo poo the graphics are so gorgeous and I wondered if some of it was prerendered

The cinematography is refreshingly head and shoulders above any other videogame cinematography. It feels like an Alex Garland movie

I was so sure it was either prerendered or actual, edited photos...until the moment you realize it's the game engine running when the bike gets into the frame and you see the rocks and everything are actual geometry

This game is so incredibly beautiful

I only got to play an hour of it (it is late here) but despite them throwing a billion confusing and weird things at you at once, and despite them talking about things and using words and phrases that you have zero context for, it all feels like it has some kind of internal logic. Like it doesn't just feel like you're being fed a bunch of nonsense, it feels like everything being said all makes sense by the end of this.

Game absolutely has the best inverse kinematics ever. Sams feet and legs will perfectly match whatever incline or rock he’s standing on. He will even hop zigzag across rocks if appropriate. I was surprised to see that.

So far the most wow feeling is the fact that running down a hill too fast with a full backpack FEELS dangerous. This is the opposite of a power fantasy. Whenever I see a rock I walk around it. In any other game I’d jump over it.

I was really surprised when I realised that several of the moss covered boulders I was walking around, were actually moss covered cars that had sunk into the landscape over time. The environments are stunningly well done in this game.

You wanna get through this?
Played the first couple short missions and I'm liking it a lot! Heather Alexander was right when she said that the game is full of unsubtle symbolism. In order to rebuild America, I need to burn the corpse of the last president of the old government.

Speaking of unsubtle, I also got a laugh at the digs at the gig economy. Twice now, Sam says that he doesn't want to get involved but everyone goes "Nuh uh, we have a contract with you so you gotta do it."
