What is Death Stranding? After its announcement no one could really pin it down, even all the way until just before it released. And after playing it I can see why; it's not that deep, not that mysterious and not that good, but Kojima knows how to create a trailer that makes a game look more interesting than it is. Here are the sins of Death Stranding.

“Goddamn that is one good performance” honestly the best part of this game is the graphics and the acting

[@Zakjuh]

Pretty much. Amazing graphics, pretty game, but it's a walking simulator with your average Kojima type convoluted plot that isn't so much deep as it's just senselessly chaotic for no reason other than the fact that Kojima thinks that's deep. With good acting. Feel like such work could've been dedicated to a better game instead.

I both hate and admire Kojimbo's writing. He manages to be mature, infantile, weird and painfully mundane all at the same time.

[@PrimeofPerfection]

I'd just argue he's pretentious. It's not that he has something deep to say so much as he thinks he has something deep to say all the time.

[@SK8TER4LIFE45]

@@PrimeofPerfection The word pretentious is an odd one since you can call pretty much anyone in the world that word and there's no real way of disproving it since it's extremely subjective. What you find deep and meaningful doesn't translate to everyone else. Thus making everyone pretentious to someone.

[@PrimeofPerfection]

@@SK8TER4LIFE45 All art is subjective. If we split it to that level, it becomes a semantic argument. That's why it helps to actually learn the details behind why someone feels that way. For me, the reason is because Kojima tends to insist you WILL feel certain ways and his actual work doesn't do enough for me to achieve the reaction. A creator who does things like insists that people can't accurately judge his art unless they experience the full thing (which is tedious and mindnumbing, I've tried), says that you must do something a certain way because that's how they wanted it experienced and you now feel this, who says the audience is wrong for not liking his stuff (Kojima stated that those reviewing his game poorly are because they wanted a first-person shooter, as opposed to the problem being with him) or stuff like, say, the Quiet thing like "When you learn why she dresses that way, you'll cry" (which I didn't, I rolled my eyes), and so on is pretentious to me. The fact he reacts to criticism by blaming the audience (which Kojima has done with negative Death Stranding reviews) only further makes me feel he's driven more by his ego and belief that he's a deeper artist than he actually is. I don't find what he makes moving at all or him all that good at achieving any emotions with his storytelling aside from bewilderment, frustration, and laughter. His most awesome stuff only works because it's inherently camp and camp can be fun. Which I've started to wonder if he's actually in on the joke. For me, Kojima just comes off as lack self-awareness at how silly stuff he makes actually is. Plus he lacks any subtlety. Ever. Especially when it comes to a topic, which he will go about it in the most convoluted way possible, go on and on and on about it as if he's actually saying something profound, and just... Okay, I'm starting to get into rant mode, I apologize. Regardless, I just find Kojima to personify the drawbacks of the auteur mindset. I do think he can be involved in producing some great things, but I likewise feel his more negative artist qualities get overlooked. They're qualities which, if done by a less accomplished artist, wouldn't be tolerated. And his actual handling of so many different storytelling techniques, such as how terrible he is with exposition, is the markings of a weaker storyteller.

[@Bri32675]

PrimeofPerfection I enjoy how Kojima makes cutscenes mostly. His stories may be lacking, but it’s one of the few things he’s actually more consistent with than the gameplay. I didn’t like MGS4s gameplay too much either and the story was becoming overall convoluted (I still loved it). Death Stranding left me wanting more as it was lacking overall quality, but at the same time I have to say that it’s nice to have him break away from the MGS series. Death Stranding seems somewhat more natural (still having too many explanations of what is going on, like how Sam used his blood against the BTs, etc.) Honestly, I’m much more hyped to see what he would do with a horror game than Death Stranding as it is just a shell of what he truly wanted to work on. I mean his passion really showed in the P.T. Demo. Death Stranding is still a good game though (and my favorite game of the year so far). It’s just not what I’ve expected from Kojima. He works better when his passion is in tune and he works with someone to focus his story telling and art more. He does not work best alone I think.

[@PrimeofPerfection]

@@Bri32675 I genuinely think Kojima's passion was in this. Especially at this point, given that the intended audience of Kojima's work is Kojima. We're all just along for the ride. That said, I likewise would like to see him tackle the horror genre more. For as critical of him as I am, I maintain that he does do good work too. Metal Gear's more camp elements are part of why I love it so much. And MGS3 is my favorite in the series, even though I recognize its flaws. I likewise agree that I don't think he works best alone. It's just that, well, his name brand got too big for his own good. He's like George Lucas, in a way; he's capable of great things, but it really helps when editors or some other people can help rein in someone's worst qualities. And I say this from experience too. I don't think he should give up his vision or anything like that. It's just that... well, I believe in creators being driven by two compasses, the internal compass of spirit/passion and the external compass of craft. Kojima's work tells me he cares more about his passion than he does the craft, which I think is a mistake because it makes it harder for actually convey your message.

[@taiwanluthiers]

You know about mama's cutscene... timefall is only timefall until it hits something, then it turns into ordinary rain after that. So if mama was stuck in the rubble, then the rain has already hit the concrete above and so isn't timefall anymore.

[@DemomanHub]

Funnily enough it's only explained in one of the in game interview logs, if I remember correctly it's not an actual umbrella, almost moreso a signpost or compass. The umbrellas are basically wayfinders for Fragile to focus on when she teleports herself or others. It's what makes the fast travel system work, she keeps umbrellas at every private room you can enter so she can pop you between them with Sam focusing on it.

[@Sticks_of_Truth]

As long as the rain touches something before it hits you you don't age from it. A lot of this is explained in the lore inside the codex and emails.

I've always viewed CinemaSins and this channel as satire though. These aren't actual reviews, and neither is CinemaSins, hence why they sometimes release "Everything Great About..." videos after/before a sin video. You aren't meant to take the "sins" seriously because they are purposely nitpicky. I just watched this channel's sin video on Jedi: Fallen Order, and many of the sins are explained/countered in the Clone Wars animated series, but either Dartigan hasn't seen it or chose to exclude it for comedic effect. You don't have to like it, but these two channels have always been overanalyzing, nitpicking, satirical tirades into popular media. With that being said, I really hated the story in Death Stranding though...

[@Blackemperess]

What you consider to be 'good' or 'bad' is entirely subjective. It also shouldn't need to be pointed out that the channel does lean heavily towards satire for comedic effect.

Love your gaming sin videos. They often point out weird stuff I noticed or interesting things I hadn't thought about. This one was especially fun since Death Stranding is already a bit unique in the story it tells and how it does so. You should read some of the interviews if your interested.

[@callum6224]

You do find the deer, even in this video. An email explains why chiralium in the air is bad. Lindsay Wagner doesn't voice Amelie, they just use her likeness. I doubt you never used cryptobiotes in your playthrough. Maybe they sent Heartman the data?? The Lumens figure thing I actually didn't notice, good point. My mom grew up in the US since like middle school, but is originally from England and she's got an English accent still. Higgs does use his separatist soldiers. The rain didn't immediately turn into timefall, and also the timefall becomes normal water once it falls, which may or may not be a stupid explanation, but it's at least explained in the game. I also noticed that they imply that neanderthal and certain dinsosaur fossils were found, when they never lived in the US. Having a shootout with Mads Mikkelsen was as fun as I thought it would be. They actually do stem cell research? I mean, you asked why they would do something like this, why do anything scientific? He explains in that very sentence why he thinks that humanity shouldn't continue existing, regardless of the timeline. She lied to him because she was never in Edge Knot City, she was always on the Beach. Higgs explained in emails that Amelie convinced him to join her, then he thought he'd 'speed things up' a bit, because she was waiting for Sam. I can't watch more than half an hour of this, but regardless of whether it's good or not, these are all straight up wrong, some were arguably wrong, but these have contradictory evidence in game or just straight up silly ass logic.

Man, after I played MGS4 way back in 2008, I decided that I was done with Kojima's games. They're not smart - they're just too goddamn long full of cutscenes that I don't want to watch. I'd rather play games with... I don't know... gameplay? So I'll stick to Gradius, Contra, R-Type, Metal Slug, etc. Glad to see a sin video calling out a lot of the stuff that annoys me about his games.

44:24 That my friend is the Vice-President's Skull Mask, all Death Stranding's Vice-Presidents wear them.

[@approachingcalamity9403]

Well, if you get your connection to the shelters at a level 5, Sam can rest in the preppers' shelters...

[@lordrathut]

Not only was a skull-faced villain one Kojima game ago, but using Troy Baker was one game ago as well

[@theonethatlookslikethisone1280]

damn the way u strung together just how un unique this game was in the beginning was masterful lol

[@tyronelowe6452]

Thanks brother I appreciate your comiedic, and insightful awareness of them that are unaware of there own stupidity and or laziness. Good job, keepum comin.📢🤪😂😂

"You can whip out Norman Reedus' meatus" said with a deadpan voice kills me every time

[@JandoncomDerpyGaming]

I assumed Lou holding the necklace at the end was because Amelie had sent her back from the beach, making Lou a repatriate like Sam.

[@j.b.macdirty6202]

Hard to believe this game got a sequel 🤦‍♂️

[@thefox7427]

Oh the irony of The Junker and the Chiral Artist eventually hating each others guts and breaking up their marriage.

[@amazingcmanps4gamer941]

Says there is no dead deer body, only to walk passed one a couple minutes later.

[@randomperson8199]

No sin for Daryl being in this game

[@supersasukemaniac]

Death Stranding AKA the game that shows that maybe Konami had a point when firing Kojima. There is no way this game made back the money that went into it. Which is the main issue that Konami had with Kojima.

[@damianlegion8455]

44:11 Its sad you couldn't raise BB outside his Pod in the PostGame. Doing that would place this game into 10 out of 10, even with the usual "20 years" gap.

[@adarkworldfantasy]

To be fair, there is a document you can unlock written by Lisa that says she and Sam found out that they were having a girl and they had decided on the name Loise but he liked to use Lou for short, so it was purposely misleading in that sense. With that being said, I wouldn't have sinned it for that, but I would have sinned the game for something a game should never do - hide important story information within documents that you have to unlock or are hard to find.

Timefall turns to regular rain once it hits the ground or touches something else. That’s why Mama didn’t age.

[@blueripper1558]

How did higs capture amili when he gets the big suck by the giant bt, she's part of the beach so how was she in the mortal world

[@LaPalmeritaFeliz]

Oh man. I come late and all, and I do agree with most of the sins but some are just... Come one, it's said that the people who die are not always needed to be send, it's the people who refuse to die (because of sin mostly) in an unfair way, so most people would accept their death if it was natural usually. There are other points I thought but it's such a long game and video it's hard to remember. Just maybe that part about everything hiding the truth about Yuna, like, really, how easy do you think it's talking out loud about someone who's going to die for sure?? Anyway, even though there a re a few sins I hardly disagree on you make good points and a great video.

[@SaucyMcLovin]

“Give me back my pp.” “You’re looking in the wrong place.” 😱

[@steveb9622]

I actually loved this game. Really touching story.

[@kimnorth7060]

Loser, the story stank

[@bradtorville5526]

I hear the telephone directory can be quite moving too if the right person does the voice over. SMH

[@devinguy]

Yeah the game explains that the terrain of America looks different not only because of Voidouts but ways that chirallium and rocks from The Beach are interacting with our world, but hey speaking of people hungry for content.

[@TheSmashingDoc1]

2:35 you could land a 747 on this chest, wowee wawa

[@sussy_61]

i just realize that you need to cut the part that deer you talking about 3:18, people might argue with you

[@Itsoof478]

To take out one sin, when timefall hits the ground, it turns into normal water

[@frozenwintershitty]

Why no sin for Fragiles umrella design?

[@anddudewaslike]

Disjointed and convoluted as the game’s story is, those moments between Cliff and Sam when he discovers his true identity were absolute magic. The acting talent in this game was impeccable.

[@harrisonriggs8732]

11:00 Sam doesn’t question Amelie not aging because the EE’s cover story is that Amelie doesn’t age because she’s trapped on the Beach.

[@harrisonriggs8732]

13:02 They can’t just send any porter with a Q-Pid. It has to be a porter with DOOMs because they’re more resistant to the concentrated chiralium in the Q-Pid

[@harrisonriggs8732]

23:20 It isn’t rain that Mama survives on, it’s run off. There’s a data file in the game that says timefall becomes regular water once it lands.

[@harrisonriggs8732]

27:53 He didn’t. He wore winter clothes. There’s a mission at Mountain Knot City after the boss fight to retrieve Deadman’s winter gear.

[@harrisonriggs8732]

Just want to cut in the middle of myself here, I love your stuff. And my pointing these out is not in any way intended to be some kind of “gotcha!” comment thread. I think the fact that I’m 27 minutes through and I’ve only had 4 problems with it proves that. I just want to provide explanation for some of the issues brought up in the video.

[@harrisonriggs8732]

38:56 We know Sam is not Bridgets biological son from the first scene where they talk. They talk about him being adopted and the terminology is always that she “raised” Sam.

[@gamergirl5317]

lindsey wagner didnt voice amalie emily someone i forget her last name did,though both are her body,she only voiced bridget

[@CyberskunkesS]

If Apple were a game programmer, his name would be Kojima. Once the epitome of creative, innovative, high-quality developments in the upper price segment. Today an empty shell, the epitome of clever status symbol trading and proper name marketing, whose recognition value is only in the price.
