CHVRCHES - Death Stranding (Audio)

[@willcosta7178]

I started playing this game right after my marriage of five years ended, and Covid hit, and my sister died, all within the span of three months. I felt completely devastated and isolated. All I knew to do was walk. And I felt so much like Sam Porter Bridges.

[@harryvaliente9425]

Sorry about that, Praying for your Healing

[@TowerArcanaCrow]

Its quite the game to represent that feeling. All about losing and finding a way to keep going in spite of everything. I hope you find a way to keep moving man. Stay strong, there's always more to life.

[@ainulahmed8405]

@Will Costa. I'm truly sorry for your loss my friend. From one Human to another I want to say that I love you and truly wish your heart to mend and endure. Peace.

[@RonBurgundy1873]

hang in there Will - similar to others, I wish you peace and a long healthy life. I had a similar experience in losing my father the month before the game released. Most difficult time of my life, but this game and music helped heal me.

Watching the end credits of Death Stranding with this beautiful song felt like I just finished watching an incredible movie in the theatre

[@WinstonHofler]

An absolutely perfect song to an incredible emotional journey. Kojima should be proud of himself for creating a game that not only defies traditional game conventions, but tells a narrative with a powerful message about society, humanity, and connecting together when things become desperate. I cheered at every obstacle a passed, I sighed at every roadblock I encountered, and even got frustrated when the odds went against me. And yet, I loved every second of it. That’s how truly powerful Death Stranding is.

A kind of warm unconditional love for someone you’ll never get to meet, someone who due to your efforts get to live and experience life with only a small mark from you.

[@joejoetuber574]

Quite late, but did you ever get into the Metal Gears? The very first and second are quite old and not really necessary but the first four Solids are utterly masterful and equally deep, and their stories are still very relevant, especially the 2nd. A good amount more action oriented but they're kind of based on the premise of not killing because war is hell and doesn't need more bloodshed.

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

@@joejoetuber574 Do you like the game? I love the game myself as I adore the game design, aesthetics, characters, and world but even I know some other people might not enjoy it from its slow paced passive non violent nature so it’s definitely not for everyone.

[@joejoetuber574]

@@Gadget-Walkmen I loved every second of it. All aspects of it were done brilliantly, and i loved the gameplay with the Dark Souls-like multiplayer. It was very meditative. Anyone who calls it "boring" should be calling Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley "boring" because there's no fast-paced shooting combat. Half the people do, and they're simply idiots. The other half are salty because they know Kojima is a legendary storyteller and they know that their Fifa and CoD that they -rebuy- buy every year couldn't give them half a percent of the amount of emotion this game does, whether that be from story or gameplay. It is an incredible game, as are the Metal Gears, there is simply nothing else to say. If it's not for you, no problem at all. I've said before, some people like me love the slow, meditative gameplay as it works as contrast and highlights the stressful action and emotional scenes, others just want some old-fashioned fun. But don't call it "bad" or "overrated" because you are just wrong.

[@FutureAlien]

Right on. I was introduced to Chvrches by BBC's Sound Of 2013 where they placed 5th. First song I heard was the original version of "Lies" - better than the subsequent album version, I think. Second was "The Mother We Share" - this song here reminds me of that one. In general I liked their earlier, "harder" songs more, though their newer stuff are good as well.

[@FrostyMac]

Jesse H Mate, as a musician who is steadily growing a small indie following that the most pretentious of music fans can appreciate, lemme tell you right now that this song is fucking amazing. The instrumentation is unique, with the percussion in particular standing out. In terms of composition, this takes a basic key and manages to do a lot of interesting things with it that you won’t often hear in pop music. This is pretty far from pop, I truly have no idea where you came to that conclusion.

[@FrostyMac]

Jesse H Yes, I’m aware that it’s a drum loop. If you didn’t realize that immediately, you need some help. Just because it’s a loop, doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Boy, I’ve met some pretentious music fans in my day, but you take the damn cake. Kindly dust the cobwebs from your ears. I understand that it’s a novel concept to a 90 year old like yourself, but music changes. That’s part of the beauty of it. Music is heavily influenced by computers these days. Even more so than in the past, where half the guitars were electronic. There is no issue with that, nor does it mean that the music is easier to make. In the age of computer generated music, a composer must be completely aware of how every instrument and synth and drum sounds, how they work, whether they’d work well together, etc. Literally the only differences between modern composers and the old pen-and-paper composers is that we can actually listen to our pieces as we compose them, and we don’t need a big orchestra or band to play our compositions. The computer doesn’t write the songs for us. We write it ourselves, and the computer plays it. The computer is an instrument, same as any other. In case you didn’t know, since you seem to be woefully uninformed, all of this is objectively good. It means that the music will be of a higher quality, and that EVERYBODY can listen to and make music, not just old rich assholes. If you don’t like synths and drum loops, fine, that’s subjective taste in music. But don’t stand here acting like it isn’t real music and it takes no effort or any of that bullshit. It takes more skill, talent, and effort than you have ever had.

[@FrostyMac]

Jesse H No, I’m sorry, I’ve been getting this kind of shit about my own music that I spend hours upon hours on for so long that I simply can not just let it go. Do you know how it feels to spend hours every day for years isolating yourself just for the sake of making music that to be quite honest you think is bad not due to the genre but because you doubt your own ability? Only to go on the internet and see dumb shit like this? You don’t get to tell me what makes music good. I don’t give a crap whether you’re 29 years old, 290 years old, or 29,000,000 damn years old. Fun fact: The music like jazz and classical that you seem to worship were once looked upon in the same way as the “pop” music you seem to admonish. Give it 100 years, I can guarantee you that this music will be considered a classic. And there will be some new genre that my pretentious ass grandchildren are gonna say isn’t real music because, just like you, they won’t know any better. It’s been happening for centuries, and assuming we don’t all die in the next couple decades, it’ll happen for more centuries yet to come. You’re just one more out of thousands of examples.

It may sound like an exaggeration but Death Stranding truly changed my life. For the first time in my life I really deliberately took my time while playing a video game : taking fun pictures with BB, going the long way during missions, stopping at a mountain's peak to take in the view, and it made me realize I can do that in real life too. I don't need to rush through what I'm doing right now to get to the next thing faster. Then, when I reached the end of the game, it felt like I was starting to understand what the game, and Kojima were trying to tell us. This is only my interpretation but I think the whole point of the game is to realize how important our connection to others matters to the fabric of the world. The more hostile, far apart we are from each other, the more vulnerable we are to the extinction of our society. The more we stay connected and make a conscious effort to help each other without asking for anything back (like when you put down a ladder or a bridge to make somebody else's traversal a little easier because you remember how much you struggled at that specific spot), the more resistant our world becomes to decay. I was late on the DS train and I had mid expectations from the game before buying it because I had seen some reviews like Dunkey's video on it. I was completely wrong. I have never felt about a video game like I feel about Death Stranding. I have never felt as connected to other players as I felt while playing Death Stranding, and after finishing the game I actually took its mantra to heart and put the connection I had with others IRL at the top of my priority list. Thank you Kojima & team, and I can't wait for Death Stranding 2, I'm not putting any expectations on it other than I hope they put that same importance on helping each other.

And with one of the two being wrong, I couldn't ever find it. It took me so long. And now that I'm finally here, at the end of time... I remember how it feels to finish this game. I had forgotten this feeling. Oh, how good it feels to be human again, and to once again carry with me all that this game holds... Death Stranding is a masterpiece...

So you disagree with IGN strongly?

[@Tahva]

​@@engalipak yeah. I'm an Italian journalist and, long story short, I gave the game 9,4 out of 10 on the website I work for (SpazioGames.it). This game is an experience and it's pretty hard to describe how it feels if you are not playing it. But, obviously, I respect IGN USA, everyone has the right to express its own analysis. IGN Italy has a different opinion from IGN USA, too: they gave DS 9,8/10. It takes all sorts to make the world, I guess :)

[@engalipak]

@@Tahva Sure ill give your review a through read. I feel like the new generation have a short patience span or stamina which equals to short experiences like Fortnite and few minute matches..Games like these require mamoth patience to experience, so I think this game is for the generation who are following Kojima since decades and are in their adulthood years now.

I read a review on Metacritic about Death Stranding he said it was "a piece of garbage" Yet he rated NHL20 and Wolfenstein Youngblood at higher scores. The media is not happy with this game by the sounds of it and the negatives they are giving about "how boring the game is" but they are missing the pure concept that Death Stranding is about connecting. Our modern society lacks connecting or connections with people. We are all glued to smartphones, laptops, gaming consoles that we are too "busy" to build connections outside of those realms. Like Kojima said in the BBC Newsbeat episode, This game even playing alone it makes you feel like your not alone. The asynchronous multiplayer aspect makes you connect with people that have built bridges across rivers that you couldnt cross or stored gear that you needed and liking what other people have done. Its all about being human.

[@dacksonflux]

Connecting? So you spent at least 15 hours on this game doing what exactly? Going outside and meeting people? Or were you in front of a screen giving kojima hard earned money for him to mock you for doing exactly what the game was criticizing? Think long and hard about this. How many of those built bridges have actually led to lasting and meaningful relationships? You feel totally woke right now, but you're still just a consumer as separated from the world as you were before paying for this garbage.

I hadn't played any games of Kojima's, but I'd heard of Death Stranding from the first trailer and how different and cryptic it was.

I knew I wanted to get the game just from this song, even if it was in some genre I didn't normally play, or on a console I had! I super enjoyed the game! I listen to the soundtrack on a regular basis, and relating it to the context it played in the game adds another layer to the music
