I read through the synopsis of death stranding on Wikipedia and it’s beyond retarded. Maybe the gameplay is good but every single thing in that synopsis is the worst thing I’ve read, plot wise, about a game, ever. E: this snype stands as a warning for all travelers (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

gently caress dude, a Wikipedia plot summary isn't a great storytelling device, I can't believe this; I, I, I, I can't believe that reading about a plot on Wikipedia is so, like, inadequate and poo poo

I'm sorry, are you suggesting a video game plot summary reads badly? Surely not video games, which include such lofty, deep, intellectual plotlines as "nazi moonbase", "North Korea invades the Philippines (but actually it's America because it's an island populated by Americans)", "Nazi zombies on an undiscovered Pacific island", or probably the best: "Demons from literal hell invade a Mars". Video game plotlines seem to be constantly trying to recapture late 80s/early 90s big budget action movie stupidity and they literally don't seem to be moving on from that.

The reveal in Gravity's Rainbow is that the special secret v2 equipped with some secret nazi technology (which the book is loosely centered about) is actually a box for some kind of ritualistic/sexual human sacrifice. The book also features an underground mine cart chase where the book's protagonist is chased by a group of drunk americans singing dirty limericks about loving rocket parts. This turns into a hot air balloon vs airplane pie fight. Their leader is later castrated while wearing a pig suit. modedit: while normally I would not think to add spoilers for a book from 1973, this is worth tagging anyway to judge from a few posts down Somebody has a new favorite as of 02:42 on Dec 3, 2019 |

I'd take 1 Death Stranding over 100 indie games about how videogames saved the developer from their depression/anxiety/grief.

This is a great illustration of why plot summaries almost always sound loving stupid also most of Pynchon's metaphors are super hamfisted, but at least they're metaphors whereas in videogames it's almost always just literal space Nazis or literal demonic rituals or whatever

In the beginning of the game Death Stranding asks for your birthday. If you happen to be playing Death Stranding on your birthday you'll get a special cutscene where Mads Mikkelson wishes you a happy birthday and brings you flowers. Therefore Death Stranding is the greatest game ever made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8Pk6Impr8M
