Time will tell. I mean we still have no loving idea what the gameplay is, which is rarely a good sign.

If I'm wrong I get to play a cool game. It's win-win for the L-man as usual.


quote:

Speaking to IGN, Kojima described a short story by Kobo Abe about humanity’s first tools.

“The stick is the first tool that mankind created to put distance between himself and bad things – to protect himself,” Kojima said.

“The second tool mankind created is a rope. A rope is a tool used to secure things that are important to you.”
What does this have to do with video game sin general and Death Stranding in particular? Well:

“Most of your tools in action games are sticks. You punch or you shoot or you kick. The communication is always through these sticks,” Kojima continued.

“I want people to be connected not through sticks, but through what would be the equivalent of ropes.”

This is excellent news.

Also so much of the coverage has been "drat this is a Far Cry-rear end game" and I'm feeling a lot better about FC3 being the last one I've played.

I only had Chutes and Ladders as a child. Snakes and Ladders seems so bizarre conceptually.

Like in what person's brain is the opposite of a ladder a giant, immobile, completely passive snake?

I remember MGS4 was delayed until June of 2008 after originally aiming for a 2007 release, which made the reference to this in Smash when Snake is getting info about Meta Knight really odd at the time.

The replacement of working-class items with animals is yet another attempt to further suppress the class-consciousness of a game that was originally designed to teach people that rentier capitalism is poo poo
