Comment on Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?

There’s so many but the I think the biggest disappointment award has to go to Death Stranding.

A brand new by the creator of Metal Gear without the shackles of a publisher looking over his shoulder, it had the makings of an epic game.

What did we get? Amazon Prime simulator with such a convoluted and nonsensical story it barely makes sense.

Completely opposite reaction for me. One of the best games I’ve ever played.

All of his games have this convoluted story that is supposed to be wacky af. Could it be better, yes? But you can’t really say it wasn’t expected.

Also saying that Death Stranding is Prime simulator is reductive af. I’m not even in the camp that the game is amazing. Heck I don’t even know if it’s good. However I do know that it’s interesting af and I’ll definitely recommend it to people. It’s such a different “game” that more people should experience at least to see if it resonates with them.

I’m very happy that I played it.

Plus that sound track alone is worth it for some moments in the game. Literal chills.

  I gave it around 8 hours before I decided I was done being bored.
  
  It really is a Marmite game isn’t it?

I had them same thing at the start however 2nd time was a complete change.

Played bit different though. Played on PC with a Trainer and made it entirely easy for myself. Strictly played for the story and the gorgeousness of the mountains, snow and the whole chaotic mess that unleashes eventually.

Really glad I did because it was a great experience and can’t wait for the sequel. Will do the same thing.

After all gaming should be for enjoyment!

  Same experience! Dropped it the first time. Too slow paced. And I was trying to min-max, play on medium, read a bunch of walkthroughs and then gave up.
  
  Decided to go all in during the Directors Cut. Turned it on easy, ignored all the walkthroughs and just absorb myself into the world.
  
  And it’s great! Who would have thought that in a game where you fight ghost babies, and bring supplies to random famous-y people, my favorite thing would be to build a interstate highway?
  
  Easily 100+ hours and it’s a “I totally understand if you don’t like it” game.
