Death Stranding looks so boring. People will really waste their time playing a walking simulator because Kojima directed it and hired a meme actor

Same with any Sony backed game nowadays. The Last of Us, God of War, etc. Just glorified cutscenes with some interactions. Emphasis on “story” and voice “acting” rather than gameplay and FUN

The “art” of a video game is meshing visual and audio mediums into one interactive experience that leaves the player in a state of fun. But these hacks and Hollywood strivers think video games should be subjected to their sophomoric philosophies and moronic scriptwriting so one day they can write for capeshit and feel like they “made it”. Terrible people who should be removed from the industry immediately.

normies don't want to play video games, normies want to watch movies. That's why Sony makes games that are just movies where you occasionally have to press a few button

DS truly is the biggest midwit filter in vidya, kek..

The best part is when these retards treat it like some kind of unintelligible, abstract thing when its actually one of Kojima's most straight-forward stories.

Total /tvcoc/ victory

You wouldn't get it, you're dead inside.

Stealth games were generally considered gay until Kojima started making them too.

Fun is just a buzzword when you can't actually think of any real reasons as to why the game is good, don't use it.
You have become immersed in these low quality games. One can become immersed in elevator music but that does not mean it is good.
What you are describing is the video game equivalent of cinema, whereas you get immersed in low brow movies.

>Death Stranding looks so boring.
So... you have not played it?

>Just glorified cutscenes with some interactions.
Does not fit DS at all.
Out of ~160 hours I put into DS1, well over 90% was pure, unadulterated, addicting GAMEPLAY. I legit played the game for DAYS without seeing a single cutscene.

>But these hacks ...
Kojima proves time and time again that he's one of the few remaining veterans with a vision and guts to make it reality. AND to make it all interactive and memorable.

>muh Doom guy
I doubt you've even touched the 1993 game, toddlerooni.

Which is exactly why (Amerimutt) normalfags loathe Death Stranding. It's too slow and intricate for them.

DS1 was everything wrong with modern video games:
-narrative over gameplay
-atrocious writing
-cronyism
-homogenised generic game design (gigantic open world with nothing in it, same as every other open world game)
-brain dead gameplay with almost zero challenge, designed by a team of consultant psychologists in order to drip feed intermittent dopamine hits to the player while keeping them primarily in a fugue state
-product placement
-washed up tv actors to trick people who don't actually like video games into thinking they might be interested
-god-awful UI with stuff everywhere, just pure visual noise
-bad licensed music

The sequel is more of the same.

Wrong.

DS1 belongs in the hall of fame of gaming. A gorgeous, engaging video game, that uses its interactive parts to deliver the main bulk of its profound subtext. No pun intended.

Visually, it also completely butchers the more recent UE5 AAA slop.
DS2 just continues carrying the OG's torch, and expands the scale further.
