It won't especially seeing most reviews are positive & a few million of PS4 & Pro owners around the world will buy it.

Reason #1: Probably because you passively want it to. Nobody asks if Goat Simulator or that goose crap will fail.

What if people stopped writing articles about whether this game will fail?

You guys Remember a lot of people thought days gone was going fail and that Sony would shut down Sony bend by end of this year. those people end up being totally wrong about days gone because the game end up being a commercial success and now Sony bend is currently working on their next game. death stranding could end up doing the same thing days gone did and prove a lot of the naysayers wrong and end up being successful for kojima and sony.

HAHAHAHA - Why the media want Death Stranding to fail - that's more like it.

The game will sell good numbers on PS4 and the asynchronous MP should provide a solid foundation for an expanding game world.

Bet it dont, useless puff piece.

It won't fail, it's a high profile game that reviewed well. There will be a lot of people who are vocal about how disappointed they are when they realise how slow paced it is, there was a backlash against RDR2 and there's a lot more game to that.

"Why this opinion piece should fail" - you mean ?
Death Stranding will do just fine with or without these opinion pieces, that's a fact.

Clickbait

I still don't get why people want to destroy this game, don't like it don't buy it.

There's a serious amount of advertising out there in regards Death Stranding and despite the few bad reviews is actually getting spectacular critical reception. Tag on Kojimas name and the game can still do really well for itself

Who the fuck can quote Kojima on promising anything? We get a "should" at best when players expectations are brought up.

A lot of people want it to fail, but I'm not so sure that it's going to.

I recall another PS exclusive getting so much heat and talk of failure, only to go on a be a sleeper hit despite many in the media trashing it. Anyone else get a Days Gone vibe all over again, a lot of PS gamers will buy the game regardless simply because it's a kojima game so I doubt it will fail.

No it couldn't.

This is how AI should be used. As a companion rather than a replacement.

It all depends how its used. If its putting people out of work no. But if it can be used to take years off development times by automating stuff such as world making (as long as it looks human designed) then I dont see an issue

Don’t we all Hideo.

Lol queue in the "Hideo will only use it for good" commentary. Cutting development time and costs means cutting people. Cutting people is still cutting people.... Go suck a wet philanthropy sock Hideo.

Again, what other people have said, as long as people don't lose jobs and it just makes their life/game development easier then bring it on.
AI can be used for some really time saving/cost affecting stuff, just don't get rid of hard working people, simple.

Kojima is contributing to the dead internet.... Hack.
