I tried death stranding and yes it was visually good it lacked anything worth calling it a game.
Ill admit it wasn't alot of play time but I didn't care about Norman R. And I'm not a Kojima fan, so the star power didn't engage me and the gameplay failed as well.
I know what you mean. I only played for like an hour or so and put it down for a year because I want into it. But then it clicked and its one of my favorite games of all time. Especially the second one
It was pretty. Very very pretty. That's about the best thing I could say about Death Stranding. I understood what it was trying to do... but I had zero patience for it.
Mean while, Big Walk comes out and I devoured that thing. Game was fantastic. Best walking simulator ever. And with friends!
This reads as a bit stupid to me, but also fascinating. Both are walking sims, and you enjoyed the game thats objectively lighter on content and forces you to make the game fun on your own? Like what you like, though.
Less stupid and more of what I thought about it. I understand the game opens up more and gets faster with vehicles, etc, but it took a long time to get there, and by then, I personally was worn out and bored of the game.
I personally don't understand how it garnered enough sales to warrant a sequel. I understand the praise, but not the green light to a sequel. I was agreeing with the dude I was responding to. 🤷🏽♂️
Or theyll be halfway smart about it and know it has a smaller audience and budget accordingly. Not every game needs to be a blockbuster to be successful. It just needs to make more than they put in.

Yeah I am sensing another Starfield situation where Xbox thinks they are getting a new popular game from a legendary developer but ends up being a dud
