The theme is pretty on the nose, not sure you can miss it.
Already out there struggling.
I strongly disagree. Using Roguelikes as an example? Um, the difference here is roguelike usually has fun and addictive gameplay. If it doesn't then those roguelikes suck.
You need fun and engaging gameplay no matter what if you're going to force the player to play it first 40-50 hours. David Cage games use gameplay differently as you're constantly engaged in the narrative and making decisions. Death Stranding is 40 hours of boring with 10 hours of actual intrig...
No I have not finished actually playing it. I personally can't stand the gameplay so I opted to watch the rest of the cutscenes on YouTube.

Yes I'm familiar with Death Stranding and its story and it is very on the nose with its messages and story. The rules it sets with the Timefall often doesn't stay true especially during a particular cutscene.
@Xabi
I'd like to offer some points. How is Xcloud DRM 2.0? You're streaming games to devices that arent even MS hardware lol Also, you're streaming games that you have already purchased, which means Xcloud is just an extension and is by no means forced upon anyone. You dont need to purchase games twice to play it normally or play it streaming.
The Always Online DRM was a foolish thing and the people who came up with that have been fired. Or a...
The head director is a fall guy?
So it's so boring and not engaging that you completely zone out and think about other things?
Its impressions like this that I hear or read and I wonder how you then actually like the game.
Unique plots still need to make sense and follow its own set of rules... which kojima breaks quite a lot.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. Hell, even some of the 9's and 10's still openly admit this game can be slow and tedious at times. It all depends on how much you're willing to adapt to enjoy this kind of game, it certainly isn't for everyone.
Indeed, but at least it shows that Phil is actively pushing to get more Japanese games on the xbox platform which is only a good thing for the new gen.

Can you just cap the framerate at 60 so you arent getting those massive dips. Running 90 is great but dropping 20 frames is really noticable I'm sure.

Want to explain what about my comments makes you say that? Is what I've described not the truth? Are you playing a different game?
False. The terrain is "diverse" because it makes crossing a small cavern or river an obstacle when in most games that's just part of the scenery, not the gameplay. It's not even close to featuring as many biomes as other games. Building models are repeated as well. Most characters are just holograms. There are no animals, enemy variety is limited.
You have the East, West, and central maps with the central being the largest featuring a snowy mountain, but m...
Reminds me of a mix of Breathe of the Wild and Sea of Thieves as far as the art style goes.
Not everything needs to be some realistic emotional story driven game.
Same with the AMC The Ride trailer when you use the bathroom, same with the designer sunglasses, same with the designer shirt... it's not just Monster that he is doing product placement for and it's cringy af.
