Like many of us, I have been a fan of Kojima's games over the years. With his own production company and few people to answer to, I feel his tendency to revel in surrealism and absurdity is pushing me away.
I'm not looking forward to another dose of cryptic pretentiousness from him. I'll leave this one alone.
Gonna wait for performance info at launch, and grab if it runs well. There's basically no point waiting for professional reviews, since it's such a love-it-or-hate-it gameplay loop. I really liked the first one (doing a replay now), so unless it comes to light that it's now a MG:Survive clone or something, I should be alright 🤷

Somehow this seems even more deranged than the first and I'm so excited for it

Looks we are getting that Kojima weirdness in this one.

A Kojima game without Kojima weirdness would be weirder than the Kojima weirdness itself.

Say what you want about Kojima produced games but no one makes games this big and this weird.

That is extremely Kojima. The surgical mask hands are creepy as shit.

Yeah, I play Kojima games for the coherence and realism so this surrealism is off putting.

Yeah.... Same here. I absolutely adore the MGS franchise but death stranding always came off as super pretentious.
