The cutscenes were the only good part of Death Stranding's story, because there was at least some atmosphere to this bizarre broken world and mystery as to how it works any why it got that way.

The world itself is bland and featureless, populated with identikit bunkers, who caaares.

The characters in the world are completely uninteresting and drone on and on even though the game is supposed to be showing you that the human connections with them are precious, who caaaaaaares.
Death stranding would have worked for me if the cutscenes had been good. I could enjoy stretches of sedate gameplay and atmosphere if there was a regular payoff you were working towards but all you get are a couple minutes of avant garde model shoots and then it's back to the grindstone.

Oh, I've played X3 and X4. But I mean something that's basically a 1:1 clone of EVE. Astrox seems to be going for exactly that, but I'd also be pretty jazzed if CCP created a single player version of its own game.

but all of the content in EVE is the most tedious bullshit. the only thing that makes it worth while is the thousands of other nerds to clown on

I think the gameplay in Kojima games is great. I've never complained, they're just fun. He's a hack writer though and I don't see how anyone gets anything of substance out of any of his games storylines.

I think the Metal Gear Solid games have great characters that are fun to play as and hang out with. Snake is a hammy badass action movie ripoff, Raiden is a goofy little nerd, some of those guys you chat with on the radio are fun as well.

His best story is easily Metal Gear Solid 2, I think that game totally holds up.

Fallen Order is probably my least favourite game in a long time. Imprecise annoying combat, a schmucky protagonist and miserable unfun levels that were annoying and slow to navigate, with uninteresting secrets like different coloured ponchos and lighsaber handles that were impossible to see. The dude's running animation looks like he's trying not to poo his pants. Overall an extremely bad game and I don't know why it was so well received, and I'm generally someone who will try to enjoy a game.

At the same time it's the first thing in a long time to make me feel "oh this is Star Wars"

Lucas forgot how to write campy mostly played straight archetypal characters, Disney forgot how to make settings and environments feel alive and alien.

I did not care for the gameplay

i've found watching lps of the mgs games much easier than trying to play them because i can just have it on in the background while the 30th 15min cutscene is playing instead of having it interrupt my gameplay session

it's sad to think how kojima will pack in all these little details and mechanics into his games that most people will never find because the actual gameplay time is like 4 hours in all of them from of how many loving cutscenes and codec calls there are

welp

i love(d) mario 35 a ton, playing it almost daily, but yesterday ended up with a guy cheating so bad that it might put me off the game forever

everyone else had died so it was just the two of us and the guy was somehow spamming Bowsers at me - the way M35 works is when you kill an enemy it ends up on one of your opponent's screens, and obviously Bowsers are only at the end of castle levels, so there's no way someone should be able to just toss three in a row into your level. if it was more than just the two of us it would have been possible - since everyone would be killing (original) Bowsers and then they'd start kind of getting passed around as people killed their ghosts, but with just two players remaining that poo poo isn't possible without some wild cheating

I would argue m+k is superior for anything where a player controlled camera is integral to the gameplay.

Camera control shouldn't be integral to the gameplay for anything other than shooters
and I guess those immersive driving/trucker simulators if you're somehow into that

If you are really playing vehicle sims with M+K you should have the mouse as steering. Keyboard steering is too imprecise even for ETS2 and co.. And I'm not even speaking from experience as it sounds awful to play. Controller is acceptable but a steering wheel is preferred, with a shifter, if possible.

there should be a VR fps game where you're in a wheelchair. ive only played a few VR games but they all tried to solve the "no walking" problem by warping around or using a joystick or whatever. just put the player in a wheelchair, much more natural because you can sit while being mobile and you don't have to be in a car or mech or something more involved so it can still feel like youre out in the open

I've had this exact same thought. Like, a VR horror game where you are stuck in a wheelchair could be really good. I'm surprised no one has done it yet.

I wonder if a VR game could come up with a very convincing way to have the game be about a person sitting at a chair manipulating objects through some big portal or something; like, even driving a drone or something. Or rather, I wonder if something like that could trick people's brains into not getting freaked out about the motion by giving you a kind of anchor.

Not quite a wheelchair but 'human propelled vehicle where you are open' all the same.

Yes it literally is a game about playing a special forces kayaker. It's apparently pretty decent?

Common misconception, that's a device that women started carrying around during the Renaissance era to measure penis length. It was believed to be the same length as Jesus's penis but they came in all kinds of lengths
