One of my favourite things about this game is how Kojima and co. accepted their limitations when designing this thing: They built up a studio and designed a brand new IP from the ground up on a new engine (which they apparently even made improvements or changed to, to fit their model!) in four years, was it? That’s crazy! Even the online components being kept asynchronous fits within their parameters; they must have known that there was no way they could get decent online multiplayer going in that time, without sacrificing quality in one area or another. And all of this fits neatly with the themes of the game, too. The beauty of living within our means.

An interesting thing to note on the topic of the connection between America and Nazi Germany and roads and bridges: During the Battle of the Bulge, Dwight Eisenhower and the other Army generals noticed something particular about the autobahn. One mile out of every five was completely straight, enabling the Luftwaffe to land its planes nearly anywhere in the country that the autobahn went. This had made it difficult to fight against the German air fighters, but obviously didn't stop us. The autobahn had impressed Eisenhower, however. [EDIT: SEE BELOW FOR FURTHER STATEMENTS ON ACCURACY, COMMENT PRESERVED HERE FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES] Years later, once Eisenhower had been elected president, he went on to found the US's Interstate Highway System, which itself also requires a straight mile out of every five for emergency aircraft landings. But anyway it's ironic that one of the most "populist" things about the US, its federal road system, came directly from Nazi Germany, from an American who was there himself.

Looking this up it reminded me, though, that another thing that inspired Eisenhower was that after he graduated from West Point, he was put in charge of a military convoy whose only task was to deploy from the White House to San Fransisco. They encountered many troubles back then, 1919, trying to make it coast to coast using our nation's own infrastructure, and the whole journey took them over 60 days. This mission also led Eisenhower to be inspired to make our federal roads much better than they had been before that point. That whole Army Expedition thing really reminds me of BRIDGES 1, as well.

Death stranding is art in motion. A critique on our individuality and yet our need for connection. It's both passive and yet can be direct and forcefully make you act. You are connected to players but cannot truly interact with them. As if connected by a "strand". Which gives you feelings of both being accompanied in the game and yet still alone. An odd duality. Even the connections to others seems needed but yet so distant. It's definitely interesting to listen to anyone try to interpret this game absolutely in kojima fashion has so many layers and meanings. I do feel this isn't a game for most but absolutely appreciated by some

This ended up being one of my favorite games of the last few years. The story is amazing. There is obvious progression in your abilities as you play. It starts out as a walking simulator, and then you get the exoskeleton, and then vehicles, and then zip lines. I love building zip lines around Mountain Knot City. I didn't really comprehend much of the story until my second playthrough. Then I started noticing things I missed in my first run, and it all came together for me. Just bought it again on PC, and have been playing it almost every day.

I've only picked up Death Stranding recently and have been really enjoying it. I like how the mechanics blend with the thematics, as you "re-connect" America, you individually start to connect with other players. The feedback of likes when other players used my structures motivated me in turn to like other peoples structures when I used them. And that "Bridge Connection" with a few players has saved me multiple times - and now I'm always happy to see a structure of that player. Some random player that I'll never meet will never know how much they've helped me and how much I appreciate it. There's a lot of heart in the game.

I think the “Princess Beach” sequence was used to poke fun at the way a lot of AAA games tend to end; with unresolved plot points or cliffhangers that setup sequels or DLC. It was Kojima both acknowledging and giving the middle finger to games that don’t know how to properly wrap things up.

This game didn‘t make much sense to me until I heard Kojima was dealing with the death of his mother. DS is a game about grief and finding the strength to live on. It will not resonate with those who have not experienced death up close. Geat vid, Jorin. Wishing you a happy and inspiring Christmas.

Funny that they call it walking simulator. If you use your brain a little, the game gives you a thousand different ways of moving without having to walk much. In fact, you actually walk a lot more in almost every other game you can think of. But then again, the game asks for you to be creative and use your head...

It’s the Minecraft of walking simulators, and the Eurotruck Simulator of fetch quests - digital games aren’t much more than a combination of this; Death Stranding stripped down to mechanical brass tacks and manages to make every item/combat addition substantively shift the meta of navigation and combat. Prescient, as _Foxdie,_ S3 Colonel Cambell, and word viruses (recent linguistic study on English morphology being more conducive to spreading droplets) - it delivered novelty and ingenuity without overpromising. The take or leave occult and political presences verge on the sinister, but the core confrontation with death is poignant and sincere; what other game could get away with what is in essence, an anti-abortion/suicide metaphor? A post-modern gaming experience without the yolk of ironic distance. Forgivably ham/melodramatic where lines fall flat, and carried by the sheer weight of A-list film world talent.

Future is in our hands, in hands of every individual but we as a society are failing to deliver this message. Right now we are being told that individual matters, his achievement matters, his contributions matters but to what end? I've been taught in school to be self-sufficient machine and i am and i'm completely lost when work needs to be collective. Thankfully, Death Stranding and MGS games showed me the power of cooperation, and in better ways than society itself. I think individual centered society is good and we are simply in need of realization that every action and word IRL or on the net is our legacy, our contribution to the future. Just my thoughts, thank you for reading and happy holidays

Played Death Stranding through the pandemic and I thought it was the most unique and touching gaming experience I have ever had in my 30+ years of gaming, that was until I played it again last year after the birth of my daughter. I was an absolute emotional wreck for a lot of this game but also the happiest I have ever been, my daughter put perspective on everything in my life, my job, my 'status', my worries, my wants, my needs, none of it matters in the end, the only thing that matters are the connections you make. I thank Kojima to this day for creating such an emotional masterpiece and I can not wait to experience DS2.

Death Stranding is wonderfully original while woefully mistuned. So many of the game's mechanics never have a chance to shine because they're too easy to circumvent with less compelling play options. Doing well in the game will often mean working towards a less fun version of the game (like a mediocre driving sim). The game also betrays its own "no dying" premise by having game over screens for some failed deliveries. Speaking of failed deliveries... the writing here is something else. And what's up with having difficulty settings? Why?

A goal of making things easier. Not to mention the effect of timefall on structures which need constant repair and that allows... I guess a little bit more fun gameplay 👍. "The game betrays it's own "no dying" premise by having game over screens for some failed deliveries" I mean ... Those are fail states. Sam has repatriation so he is invincible... Is that the premise you're referring to? The next point I'm going to skip cause it's kinda subjective and I respect your opinion. I'm only interested in fact checking.

It’s not meant to be fun forever, I eventually tire of it and take long breaks before picking it up again. That’s why I like it: Death stranding wants the same thing as I do, for me to have fun on my own terms. They did good with the parameters they set themselves, I think (“they” being the devs).

@@decimatormdt5453 the difficulty settings seem to only affect the few boss fights, and not to any benefit to the game. Making those harder doesn't add anything to the experience and the rest of the game is exactly the same. Having Sam be repatriated is a neat gameplay mechanic to avoid fail states, so it's odd to have them shoved back in for less compelling reasons. Just my opinion though. And I'm all for struggling for accomplishment. The ziplines were good, imo. But building roads in the early mid game seems to divert the game away from its strengths towards far less compelling driving back and forth. It's a minor complaint, overall.

From 27:45 on everything you said really added something. It’s not easy to interpret much less express alot of this. This game speaks without words what many people over the history of time couldn’t say by any means and may not be able to when they should. That itself is a proactive duty someone can take up. This story will ask you what side of the coin you’re on. It will encourage you take your time to think, to connect and understand what you can then act on that if you can or if you want to. You are free to choose, but most of us know what our choices are. If you let it or if you need it to, this game will speak to you and you will probably be better for it. At the very least it will give you something beautiful and entertaining to do. The messages and meanings behind this game are the most important in life to me personally and I think alot of people who feel strongly about the story here may feel the same way. The difficulty in saying what’s important here is about how profoundly difficult it is to say something profound. If something is meaningful to you, it’s worth trying to start expressing why. I wish more people would do that about what they believed in or what spoke to them. The difference between all life and all death is in what we are trying to say, what the truth is and how we act on it. Which part means life and which part means death and what do you believe?

Just two bits of criticism from someone who loved the game and literally did every single delivery on S (legend) rank: - The boss battles are laughably underwhelming, not only considering the game fully embraces supernatural and sci fi but how the fights actually play it out. I understand, in terms of balancing the game, the Boss fights that you fight in the open world being less of a threat so you have time to get/protect your cargo but the scripted ones should act like more aggressively, like in a proper boss fight, even on very hard I have little to worries in any Boss fight, which brings the second topic... - The difficulty options are straight up BADLY BALANCED and UNCREATIVE, this might not be a real problem for the average player but the harder difficulty options were lazily done. There's no new mechanics, no new nuances on how to manage your bars or planning routes and the enemies with lethal weapons simply deal more damage, they don't have any new behavior pattern, they don't become more "intelligent", and all of this gets more aggravated since the game don't have a proper "combat" system and enough variety of weapons to at least make the encounters more enjoyable and it gets specially worse in Boss battles, they become a drag devoid of any enjoyment because the bosses become a damage black hole.

I think the fun factor is in the likes after experiencing most of everything I'm beginning to notice that a lot of these criticisms come from a power fantasy perspective ya know? Like you'd rather be playing another game that is focused on combat and difficult AI that you can overcome. Honestly the game did soooooooooo many things right, I'm just glad this game exists ya know? Ofcourse there's flaws! Ofcourse there's room for improvement!

Well any of this doesn't applies to the scripted boss fights, I remember feeling threatened when I saw the first BT Higgs summoned until I noticed I could literally stay still and it would took at least 30 seconds before attacking, honestly a "don't let the BT get near the city" objective would at least make that fight memorable. And now we come to Cliff... the Battlefields are stunning and very immersive but it's all for a fancy looking Terrorist encounter?

while society is populated by others, the trust in society and the trust in others is separate. I fully trust the goodness in my fellow citizens, but i have no trust that society will reflect our goodness.

I appreciate the not so subtle Boktai reference in the middle of the video.

maybe an unpopular opinion but I consider Death Stranding to be one of the best examples of an immersive sim

I feel that’s a straw man, if that were true why do games like Deus ex, spec ops the line, bio shock, and system shock all get praised?

The irony is that Death Stranding is one of the most meditative games I've ever played. After a certain point you don't have to think, the game becomes habit and reflex. A part of you. I still have the entire game mapped onto my brain. I can travel it spacially in my mind with the same accuracy as places I've known my entire life
