Since this entire thread is just people shitting on the first game i figured id be a little different and say something good about the game. I very much liked the first one. Super weird but intriguing story super well acted awesome visuals and stunning graphics. If you like weird unique sifi stories you’ll enjoy it. Its a slow relaxing game with some pretty intense stealth. I can’t wait for the second one. Tho i do wish kojima would move on and make something more akin to metal gear plus death standing. His recent announcement the other day seems to confirm he will be doing that game after ds 2.
There were two comments above yours, both the comments above you were saying how great the game was.
Therefore I’m calling out your objectively false statement that “this entire thread is just people shitting on the first game”
You’re not as unique as you want to be
Do you feel better now?
I’m going to get downvoted to hell but I don’t get the hype Kojima carries.

His stories are mostly over the top nonsense, but sometimes that’s fun. Also, for a “AAA” studio director, he’s willing to take some VERY big experimental swings when it comes to gameplay. Death Stranding has it’s problems, but it’s very unique. That’s worth some points.
He takes no more ‘experimental swings’ than hundreds of indie developers. The only difference is, his studio has the money for the marketing campaigns.
For me at least, the first part was an absolute work of art. Apart from the crazy, not always entirely comprehensible story, it was simply beautiful. I’ll never forget the moment when I climbed through the vast landscapes for the first time and suddenly heard this phenomenal soundtrack. The amount of multiplayer influence was also just right; you got the impression that someone had been here before, but you never met anyone. Wonderful.
Didn’t expect a second part to be released, what a pleasant surprise!
I can’t decide if Kojima is putting the acid industry out of business, because his games are enough of a trip already, or singlehandedly propping the industry up because he’s obviously consuming it all himself.
I personally don’t care a lot about Kojima’s games but I still think it’s absolutely great he gets to make whatever he makes because he is a unique voice in gaming! In a sea of games as a service, mindless franchise milking and countless copycats someone like him is needed to make outlandish stuff, whether I like the games or not. Tons of people do and that’s great!
Too bad about the horrible Monster Energy product placement. It totally ruined the game for me.
Good news, they’ve been removed. They’re in-world lore accurate beers now lol.
I found it even more immersive. What ghost wouldn’t want a monster energy fueled piss grenade thrown at them?
Jesus christ. I think there’s a lot about that game I’ve blocked out. Piss grenade was definitely one of them.
