Not only in terms of story/gameplay, but in sales as well?

One of the worst games of last year, as anyone who doesn't have Kojima's balls down their throats will tell you.

I'll tell you that, of the original trilogy, only MGS3 is good. Not even great.

Death Stranding is brilliant.

I love Kojima, have loved all the MGS games I've played (TS, 2, 3, 4, 5, PW) and I love Norman Reedus and GDT. I bought DS at launch full price. I still think it's not really a very good game and is majorly disappointing.

In terms of reviews, awards, and profitability, yes. It lived up to the hype.

However, it is very much a love it or hate it game. In that regard, you will find plenty of people who will have vastly differing opinions on whether or not it lived up to their personal level of "hype".

I loved it. I didnt have much hype for it to live up to, but I suppose it didnt collectively live up to the hype that it built throughout the world. But thats mostly because it built a whole lot of hype due to the mysterious nature of the way information was released.

Good luck finding a reliable source for video game sales totals. It seems like that kind of information is no longer for public consumption. If somebody has a resource for that kind of thing Id love to see it.

The main issue I saw with it was that it seems like Kojima tried to make accommodations for the average video game player, and this alienated his core fan base. The difficulty was a joke. Hard in DS should have been at most normal, with at least a couple of significantly more brutal difficulties. That might have put it over the edge to make it a masterpiece in the eyes of many, all though most people still wouldnt like it. He basically made the experience less enjoyable for some by trying to appeal to the masses who werent going to like it anyway.

It also became a bit of a meme to dump on it. Naturally, many people latched on to those and adopted the opinions as their own.

The people who hated it are so fucking obvious about it though.

It is, by turns, brilliant and ridiculously awful. Maybe worth experiencing for the novelty, but I don't remember the last time I was so glad a game was over.

I personally loved it but your mileage may vary. It is extremely divisive.
