This is kind of what I’ve been saying to some of the other people on here. Just because it’s not perfect doesn’t discount the fact that it tries for something new. It’s is mostly let down by essentially the same stuff that drags down all of Kojima’s other work, his writing. Which makes it, well, not perfect. Which…

I wouldnt say his rounding down of 6.8 to 6 is a bald faced lie - I would have just said 6 too because I knew it was above 6, but under 7.

I’m glad señor dog is regular.

Missed my edit window. Also in regards to the actual story look at the other times this has happened for Famitsu. Have you even heard of any of those games that he appeared in that are supposed to be perfect.

Honestly I tend to stick to websites I kkow (or at least have some semblance of) independence from the marketing site. Larger publications tend to have the ability to ignore the marketing department, or at least not completely bow to it.

Likewise, enjoying the hell out of this one. Glad that Kojima is doing something new. 

Group think or Group Pressure.

Do they not do “Full Disclosure” in Japan?

No, it won't happen and it’s because he’s a man and those trogladites are weeaboos.

I’m done with Kojima and is blatant sponsorship, because fuck, just like his writing in death stranding, it’s all with subtext of what is going on and it’s disgusting.

As a weekly reader of Famitsu, I find it nearly impossible to believe four different reviewers found it perfect.

I see it like this: as someone who loves to replay games, there’s always going to be a certain thrill and warm-gooey familiarity of playing through your favorite beginning sections of something again, because you’re going back to a time and mental headspace where you’re (generally) always going to remember what our…
