Why can't I see anyone or interact with them in the game?
Why am I supposed to care about Rainy and her struggles if I literally never see her in the actual game? The cutscenes have basically no impact or effect on what Im actually doing
And where the fuck are all the people working these farms and clearly outdoor locations? Why is everywhere i go a complete ghost town despite a bunch of these people canonically working outside?
Why does the Magellan have a detailed map i can look at if I cant even leave my room? What's the point?
It's all so lifeless and sterile

reminds me how you can only see Miller and Ocelot in Mother Base during cut scenes in Phantom Pain (except for that tutorial mission with Ocelot)

the death stranding is extremely dangerous to normies as they can neither sense nor see BTs, meaning if they step out of their shelters they can just be consumed without knowing it at any point. Would you feel safe leaving your home in that kind of world?

its actually really easy to explain this. despite crediting himself as the game designer and only person involved in the creative process, Kojima's actual contribution to Death Stranding clearly ended at "game where you deliver things", which is why you could see him so visibly confused and annoyed at the terrible gameplay demo he showed at the Dorito Pope's event.
Kojima only cares about making movies. Death Stranding is a movie franchise to him. The fact that that movie also has to have a game attached to it is largely irrelevant to him. That's why you get a product where the movie has little to nothing to do with the actual game part and you at no point will ever actually see any of those characters from the movie while you're playing the game.
It's still fun tho

Every location you go to has a bunch of buildings where people are working. They clearly go outside all the time despite the game never actually showing you any of it

Nah the Magellan just being another private room is a legit complaint. People before release thought you'd be able to freely roam around it and check in with the other crew members. The fact that the game gives you a useless map of the ship makes me think it was cut content

That shit also pissed me off. Kojima has a weird obsession with game worlds that are utterly devoid of life. Or maybe it just doesn't cross his mind because he's so fixated on the cutscenes

There's a section where you take photos of the girls on the ship. Kojima marketed that part intensely. But yeah im pretty sure that's the only time you actually see any of them in-game

the annoying thing about this is that Kojima has repeated this since 2010.

You couldn't explore Mother Base in Peace Walker
You couldn't explore the interior of the Mother Base in MGSV
You could explore anything in Death Stranding

and now the Magellan. It's disappointing, you'd think he would prioritize it, especially given that the magellan is a really cool ship

DS1 had a way better open world than TPP though. As much as a cope it may sound like, the emptiness is the point of DS, its part of what makes the experience memorable

You could cut the 12 hours of cutscenes out of the game and it wouldn't affect the experience

Kojima can't do open world, or at least, live open-world npc interactions. You get mobs, the BTs and the boss fights, even the porter npcs, but the interactivity is limited.
However, it's still better than fromsoftware and being unable to make NPCs have programmed walk patterns (or even AI led ones).

His biggest problem has been bot AI configuration.
