it's pretty great in retrospect but yeah i kind of hated it esp the end part, at the time

I forgave mgsV for the hospital as soon as it started listing the eyewear collection for the characters’ sunglasses after you get to Afghanistan.

“oh, so this is the video game equivalent of the Garth Marenghi quote about subtext, except played even straighter.”

Forget it Jake, it's cybertown.


Kojima's a bit of a hack writer and wields subtlety like a sledgehammer. But if you want to experience a teenager-tier story filtered though the cheesecloth of anime and with a AAA budget, then look no further friend.

how dare you claim that of the man who created a character, die-hardman, a man that does not die easily

i know it's a nickname in the game and I don't care, it's so ridiculous and i love it

the best thing like that in death stranding is how the beer you can unlock is a porter

the best thing like that in any kojima game is the logic behind the name "drebin" in MGS4

exactly, how dare they butcher his name from the pureness of glorious nipponese! weebs assemble, we must start a(nother) project to do a proper literal translation and purge the horror that is the ted woolsey translation from this earth!!!

his name in japanese is the japanese word for frog
