Topic	So, turns out Death Stranding isn't the second coming of Christ.
streamofthesky 11/03/19 12:13:43 AM #12:	I hadn't paid attention to Death Stranding this whole time. Never was a Kojima fanboy, so I had no reason to spend years getting hyped up over it. But talk about it was omnipresent...Conan even did a segment visiting Kojima... so I knew vaguely of it. Now that it has reviews coming out I decided to check it out, and....wow.... Bulbasaur posted... one of the people reviewing the game couldn't post a review for it the contract stipulated that you finish the game before you can post a score for it, and he played for about 40 hours and quit playing because he was just so bored with it. he tweeted why there wont be a review about it, and people got so fucking angry at him, spouting "no journalistic integrity, huh?" which is asinine, because it shows he has a lot of journalistic integrity by not breaking contract and lying about something he didn't do, and instead of just saying nothing he explained very clearly and professionally why there wouldn't be a review for it. the kojima defense force is insane Likewise, the IGN reviewer who dared to "only" give it a 6.8 / 10 (ie, still an ok score!) has his video being downvoted to hell b/c he was honest about what a trash heap this game is. He provided concrete evidence of his claims in the video, and honestly given how horrible this game looks to actually play, I think his score was way too generous. The amount of 9/10 and 10/10 reviews stating that it's dull, tedious, boring, and/or not fun deeply disturbs me, too. People are seriously asking if a game has to be enjoyable to play in order to be considered good, and that's seriously fucked up and a bad direction for gaming to head towards. I mean, mediocre game play being propped up by an amazing story is one thing. Quite another when the game play amounts to doing chores and frustrating minutiae. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:929591821] in So, turns ...
