I knew that he would like the gameplay, it really fits his fondness for slow relaxing games. Now i just wonder if he will put this in his top 5 games...it's possible just because there hasn't been many "Great" games that he reviewed, the only other game i'm sure will be in his top 5 is Disco elysium.
@francesco80004 жыл бұрын
@BoldTomato Nah that sound really unlikely. His idea of bland is something that is really generic and forgettable, something that you see every year. It's a top dominated by Call of duty and assassin's creed. In this video (and in the stream he did) he clearly said that he thinks the game is original. So it will either be in top 5 good game or it won't be mentioned at all.
@BIadelores4 жыл бұрын
Won't get a mention, he straight up says he was bored through the majority of it. He respects it for being unique however so he won't slag it off in any of the bottom top 5s but if this gets a top 5 spot in best of the year it says more about how awful this year has been than the game itself.
@francesco80004 жыл бұрын
@BoldTomato this will be just my opinion from this review+the streaming but i think he found the story boring and the gameplay interesting. That's why i said that it MAY end up in his top 5 because this year the only game that he completely praised was disco elysium so his top 5 will inevitably have a some games where he complained and, considering how Yatzhee love when games do something different, death stranding may end up in 5' place.

I kinda like the Zip-lines, they're the best thing in the game for getting across its themes of connections and how they help people. Its super hard to make a network of those things your self and you could only really use just your own on repeat trips, since you have to make them before you use them and you can't make them your first time _to_ a place so you could only make them on the way back. But if you play online you find that lots of other players have set up these networks for you, and you usually just have to fill in the occasional gap, making some of the biggest challenges trivial thanks to their support.

You can't really compare MGSV's plot being stuck in audio logs with a podcast, a major part of a podcast is that it's something easy to listen to in the background instead of something that requires your attention like audio logs do. What would be more fitting for Death Stranding is how MGS4 handled it, where you could literally listen to in-game podcasts by equipping the iPod, it didn't have anything to do with the story or world, it was just a few dudes talking about parts of the game.

1I actually like the way the game plays, just a while back ago I replayed a classic, Fallout 1, and decided to quickly go through the entire series again. Only to end up quite disguised to noticing how Fallout 4 was less of a dark apocalyptic survival game, and more of a colorful slot-machine with many blinking lights and noises, trying to keep you drawn in, with a comic relief story. A lot of people seem to mock Kojima's methode of storytelling, but you cant deny its interesting, visually pleasing and the game-play actually keeps drawing you in, especially considering its not a shooter looter (as any other company would have made this game if they made it) Where you would instead spend 90% of the time killing anyone you encounter, racking up a larger body-count then you actually deliver packages. Hell this game even puts a severe penalty on killing. Mostly I love it as Hideo Kojima refuses to jump on the copy/paste train like every other company. Playing Death Stranding actually feels like something completely different. Any other game I have figured out in a few minutes as it plays exactly like a ton of other titles in its genre, and the story ends up being so predictable and boring that I won't even recall the plot points later on, or even wonder who the final boss is and why my char has any beef with them.
