If the ending of this game is so important you should be playing, and not browsing articles, when you know that the longer you wait the more likely that story discussions are going to pop into newsfeeds. You have only yourself to blame.

"Tell me again, who is giving them valid criticism and not just reporting the news, (the game has over 20 flaws, you only hear about the 1 or 2 things) outside of the ones i showed you, again not saying there arent, but it goes to you to give the proof there are if you are denying everything im saying. Reporting news =/= valid criticism."
Let's just start at the beginning and acknowledge that you made the inital claim that "mo...
It means this list is pretty much just full of popular games, and the author doesn't even give any nuanced or interesting opinion on them. If someone makes a list of what they consider to be the best games, I at least expect something interesting to be said about why they feel those games deserve to be considered the best games. The opinion is so mild it barely deserves recognition.
Ultimately this is a fluff piece.
This is a pretty milktoast list.
"not enough of them to be relevant"
Tell me the exact amount of youtubers/media outlets that need to be piling on to this for you to be satisfied. I need an exact metric because with one search and less than 5 seconds I can find IGN, and Gamespot articles which are two major outlets. Characterizing an outlet as "relevant" is incredibly vague and subjective. what counts as enough to be "relevant". Be very specific please because thus far your st...
"when other companies do this all the gaming websites and youtubers, the like go on doing videos on it and why it isnt ok, in pokemon you get forum users, how is it the same? Most people dont know whats happening with this game."
You're saying I cant find any Youtubers talking about the negative aspects of this game? You're living in a bubble right now if you think S&S is coming out unscathed by the media.
The problem is that none of the things listed are defining features of DS. Would the game be different without them? Sure. Would it become a completely different game? No.
These points are not what makes Death Stranding the game it is, and if anything I'd argue the only real impact they have is to make the game easier.
Critic: Death Stranding isnt a new genre.
Gaemr: STOP BEING A HATER.
Saying Death Stranding is not a new genre is neither a positive, or negative judgement on the product. It's just an evaluation of the claim. To classify something as a genre you need a number of points that are unmistakably specific to the category. Look at Rogue-likes as an example, as this was a genre that had discussion over what was needed for a game to be considered a part of th...
@Realms
"Funny how this only seems to happen with Sony exclusives"
Thisnis your first mistake, as Desth Stranding is not exclusive. So you've started with a false premise by claiming this only happens to Sony exclusives. What's amazingnisnhow in one breath DS fans will claim the game is extremely well received and talk about all the 10s, and in the next say it's a victim of hate and is being unfairly criticised.
In...
Bad games can sell well; what's your point?
It's also a PC game, so playing the PS victim card isn't going to work here.
@JEECE
"You claim Spiderman plays like the Arkham games (it doesn't, beyond inherent similarities in third person games)"
Yes, zero similarities in the combat. He only real difference is counter/dodging. Also, Arkham is not heavier as the free flow combat system is much smoother and the transition between movements is much better. The gadgets/skills in Spider-Man are also broken. After you're half way through the game, you can effectivel...
Marvel's Spider-Man is good, but wouldn't definitely wouldnt have existed as it currently does without the influence of the Arkham series.
However, the issue for why they haven't succeeded is clear. It's the open-world part. Superman is not the sort of hero who's abilities thematically fit an open world game. I think this needs to follow a more linear level design and be action focused. You could maybe have some platforming mechanics.

"Guys, we've got an emergency! People arent seeing games as being worth their asking price, and they're using the most cost effective method to access new games. The consumer is making smart decisions for once; ITS A FUCKING CRISIS!!!"
Sarcasm aside, sounds like you're saying AAA games will have to get better to be worth their asking price. If the AAA industry is going to fall apart because of competition in the market producing an affordable way to ac...
@gamingunited
"So your saying"
*proceeds to not in any way represent what I've said accurately*
If you consider making specific criticisms as "trolling" you're dense. I've not recieved any detailed defense of Death Stranding on this site once since release. Not one person has been able to give anything more than "we can't like everything", or "You're criticising it like it's a n...
@SolidGamerX
You have to consider this at some point. How is it so easy to "smear" a PlayStation exclusive on a site where the majority of the userbase leans heavily towards favouring Sony?
To be frank, the critics of games like Days Gone and Death Stranding are able to give drastically more in depth analysis of the games, especially so, when compared to those who love it to the point of refusing to acknowledge any major shortcomings. The realit...
@Lexreborn2
"Actually, 90% of the games we know and love we did 0 research on."
I've already covered that possibility with my word choice. If you didn't buy the game, you're not the consumer.
"Also, I watch initial presentations of games and then if I say I want it I stop watching the things for build up"
This, by definition, is having preconceived notions about the game. Claiming that ...
@-Foxtrot
To link into @TylerDurden1's claim, many of these are things that other highly praised game have gotten away with.
1. Multiple highly praised games have had lacking stories over the years
2. Game had roughly 20 different enemy types (excluding Color variation and bosses)
3. Dungeons is a valid criticism, but alone not enough to make a dent
4. Memorability is subjective
5. Side Quests were average and line ...
You've always been able to say it. If you're saying you were silenced for criticising it years ago then maybe your criticism just didn't stand up to scrutiny.
"what do we know as the games flaws? forced exp share and pokemon cuts, theres also one on cutting attacks, that is nowhere near the amount of flaws the game has, thus my point stands there is no news about all the flaws"
So wtf are you doing in a comment section to an article LITERALLY GIVING YOU COVERAGE OF NEWS WHICH YOU CONISIDER TO BE A FLAW? Are you dense? You can't say theres, "no news about all the flaws" while in an article covering one. Ple...
