You either die a hero or live long enough to make DC's version of Marvel's Avengers.

What is hilarious to me is that you just described Marvels Avengers. That game had a fairly robust 3rd person combat system, really good dialogue and scripted scenes, and an enjoyable single-player campaign.

It still feels weird that this is a game with a collection of unique characters with different powers and abilities and fighting styles and the gameplay is "What if they all just had guns."

Key difference (not that we shouldn’t expect better) is that those are side missions, and from the reviews I’ve read and seen, the main missions in Suicide Squad are just as repetitive.

Lack of side-mission variety was the biggest issue with AK (unless you really hated the Batmobile). It doesn’t matter if you played Penguin side-mission #3 after Firefly side-mission #2. The problem is that Penguin side-mission #3 is almost exactly the same as Penguin side-missions #1,2 and 4 so the repetition was…

To me the arkham games got worse with each installment. The bite size metroidvania first one was amazing. Arkham City was OK, loved flying around and beating up big groups was as fun as ever, but it got more repetitive. I stopped played Arkham Knight a few hours in. The car sucked, the city was too big and everything…

Did I miss something? Is the person known for hating Arkham Knight? Because to me their message read more like an admission that, despite Arkham Knight being a good game, you could lob the same accusations of repetitiveness at it. At least, that’s how I read it, but maybe I’m projecting. I LOVE Arkham Knight. It’s…

Okay, so this such an inane comparison on so many levels that I don’t even really know where to start.

Is there a single, full review out anywhere for this game yet? I’m talking real publications, not random Youtubers, I get the game isn’t technically “out”, but like, yes it is, and from everything I’ve seen it’s quite short even when doing everything the game throws at you, 10-15 hours max.

Honestly I hope he never does. Plenty of companies are “just making games” these days. I would rather have a wacky weird dude like Kojima swing for the fences with an deep and artsy failure then play another generic looter shooter, survival game or battle royal

He appears at the end of Copenhagan Cowboy from Nicholas Winding Refn. and NRW himself appears prominantly in Death Stranding. I think Kojima is right where he wants to be blending the mediums.

I often wondered that myself, but I feel like he stays in games, because he wishes to tell stories in which his audience gets to control the characters. That’s why he keeps talking about “new and interactive experiences”. Movies and shows are too restrictive to the stories he intends on telling.

Also, I don't want Kojima to make something not-bonkers. He's special specifically because of the bonkers-ness. May he never stop the bonkers.

Death Stranding is a masterpiece. You want a game, go buy Monopoly or Clue. I am quite happy to keep getting to experience new adventures delivered by an artistic genius.

One thousand games come out every year. Let us have something truly weird and visionary. “Artsy” as you put it. We need it.

It’s amazing how that trailer gave you nothing at all to grasp on to.

was just replaying MGS5. It’s interesting how Metal Gear doesn’t feel like a power fantasy, or even “true stealth.” There’s this nice blend of wacky gadget and patience to appreciate the nuance of the moment.

I really disagree, I think there should be places in the industry for artistic expression and experimentation. Not everything has to be a cookie-cutter gameplay experience. While yeah Death Stranding wasn’t for me for the most part I appreciate the effort to try new things and I think we should encourage more of that…

he’s been like that since Metal Gear Solid 2. His first Twitter posters were “the sadness hits hard, I bought this leather jacket to protect me.” That’s just him, he looks like quirky Japanese guy with Werner Herzog dialog. 

I don’t care how pretentious Kojima is, I love how completely unhinged this trailer is. I’m not sold on the game yet (I liked the first one but I don’t know if I want to do it again) but this makes a pretty strong case for it.
