To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Death Stranding. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the trigger buttons most of the traversal will go over a typical gamer's head. There's also Kojima's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his writing - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Hollywood movies, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these references, to realize that they're not just films - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Death Stranding truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the meaning behind Amelie's existential catchphrase "Like Mario and Princess 'Beach'" which itself is a cryptic reference to videogame classic, Super Mario Bros. 2. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Kojima's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Norman Reedus tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Genuinely being serious here.
The game makes you encounter inconveniences and then offer tools for you to allieviate such inconveniences. You get a dopamine rush from being able to skip the traversal, not due to the activity being inherently fun, but because you're able to skip something that is unfun.
I have played the first game up to the second area, where I dropped the game. I haven't experienced any joy from:
>holding triggers to balance
>doing super obvious shit such as using a ladder or bridge to cross a river
Seeing what you get later: roads, skiplines, vehicles doesn't spark any joy for me because they're not fun, it just makes the traversal shorter.

Now, I do enjoy a relaxing walk to wind down. I can do that in real life. I don't have to buy a video game for that?

Not walking therefore fun

I don't bother eurotruck fags because they don't worship their game as "ludo" nor do they even get considered as a GOTY contender. I personally like FPV drone simulators which is a largely movement based simulator. Again, I don't treat it as some deep avant-garde bullshit.

Kojima dick suckers do need to fail so they stop polluting the videogame industry. Make movies Kojima-san.
