Non Gamer Watches #68 Death Stranding 

"Is this a movie or a game!?" The answer is Yes

Stressed and confused is the right mentality for this game

Hannah: IS THIS A MOVIE OR A GAME?! Hideo Kojima: Yes

This game touched my soul. Nothing else I can say about it.

Hideo Kojima games are very confusing but it’s because he likes writing them like a book. There’s lots of deep messages, metaphors and relationships to keep track of but if you can handle it, his works are some of the best games on the market for storytelling. It also helps that he’s a completely insane too, especially as it helps him to come up with very wild universes and settings that can be incredible to witness, not just for how surreal they can be but how they’re strangely well fleshed out.

lol, until this game actually released.. we had no idea what was going on, with respect to all the trailers, and we were all stressed and confused.

I finished this game 3 days before my first child was born. Maybe it was me about to become a parent, but this was one of the best games I have ever played.

Basically: In post-apocalyptic world there are separated human settlements. You (played by actor Norman Reedus - you may know him from many productions, i.e. "The Walking Dead") are delivery guy who helps connecting forementioned settlements with cables and delivers basic goods (yes, we are fusion of Amazon delivery guy and cable tv fitter). Monsters, bad guys, weird stuff etc. happens when we leave our safe space of settlement and try to make our way. All of this is very hard to explain unless you've already played some part of the game. For example: those weird babies in tanks are helping us with detection of BT ("beached things" - monstrosities you've seen in this trailer), but whole thing is wrapped with game plot - which is revealed later, of course. Whole thing is really confusing, although statement that someone completed the game and still doesn't know what it is about might be a little bit of exaggeration (but just a little bit) It's obviously a game (scenes when you see player's character traveling are parts of gameplay), but it's extremely stuffed with cinematics that are... well, cinematic. And yes, I recall at least two other cinematic trailers - one with Reedus, one with Mads Mikkelsen and Guillermo del Toro

Kojima games take 15 years to fully udnerstand. The dude always seems insane when looking at his new games, but then after many years they end up predicting political and social situations of decay then we all wonder why we didn't understand back then, then repeat. The dudes a mix between a madman, a genius, and a time traveller.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING?" "IS THIS A MOVIE OR A GAME?" Perfectly normal responses to seeing Hideo Kojima's work.

This a Hideo Kojima game. His games are usually about the story going on a journey of selfdiscovery to find out what its about and ending on the cusp of finding out. Its entertaining though...

0:48 - Mads Mikkelsen has been in everything from Casino Royale to Hannibal to King Arthur, he's a man of eclectic taste. 3:04 - Yes, you do. That's Norman Reedus of The Walking Dead fame, was one of the brothers in The Boondock Saints. 5:27 - "Is this a movie or a game?!" Yes. Hideo Kojima left Konami, leaving the game that had been hinted at by the Playable Teaser (PT/Silent Hills PT). He apparently had a lot of story left to tell, and had to find catharsis for the pain of his betrayal, and who better than Guillermo del Toro to help tell it? Love the video as always!

Death stranding shows us what humans would look like if we actually worked as a team instead of treating each other as a competitor.

"Is this a movie or a game?" Funny thing is, before getting into video game production, Hideo Kojima did try getting into the film industry, but he didn't have the money or family/friend support structure for it. As the game development tech improved allowing for more cinematic games, he started coming out with things like the cinematic Metal Gear Solid games and the heavily anime-inspired Zone of Enders series until Konami cut ties with him in 2015 in a remarkably abusive way, even barring him from attending the Video Game Awards to accept his awards for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Death Stranding was his first cinematic game after he created his own game studio.

Death Stranding is an astounding game. At first, extremely confusing and frustrating, but as I continued I found myself absorbed into Kojima's universe. DS is filled with excellent actors, a fabulous soundtrack to walk along to, and an incredibly intriguing story set in a graphically stunning world. I finished up with my Platinum trophy and sobbed my way through the final quest. An astounding experience which really resonated with me ❤

Honestly with her focus on storytelling vs gameplay and such I need Hannah to react to Nier: Automata. That game sucked me deep into the story and then I cried a bunch at some of the endings.

In the next episode: Non Gamer Tries to Understand Death Stranding Btw, the game is practically an 11-hour long movie, you can try to watch this if you can handle it

Yep, a day of silence followed by 'What!' is the only response.

Non gamer person: idk what’s happening Hardcore gamers before playing the game: :idk what’s happening

I love how out of all the trailers they have for this game, this one actually is the one that makes the most sense lmao.

Alternate title: "Norman Reedus And His Amazing Foetus."

There is not always a good and a bad guy. Most of the times, every character as its own objective, which could be not be classified as good and evil.

Hideo Kojima is an infamous game director. He made an artform out of overly long monolouges, convoluted stories and not being able to keep something short. Although He occasionaly hits some meaningfull themes and topics just by the sheer amount of words and material he crams in his games. Somehow he's at the same time over- and underrated.

I just deleted a long-ass "brief" summary of what happens in this game. Even I ended up confused, and I know what's going on. The only way to explain it is to play it. For 50 hours. Like I did. I would not do it again! Run, Hannah! Save yourself!!!

Also this trailer was probably the least creepy of the release trailers 😂

The constant state of WTF is sustained throughout the game. The answers don't begin forming until after 30 hours of game play. And I love it.

Picked this up beginning of the year and played it all the way through absolute masterpiece loved it. Went into my top games of all time

After rewatching this reaction its def worthwhile for you to watch all the official trailers if the world caught your interest. Each one is thought provoking imo especially when u dont know the circumstances. Even better maybe if u watch chronologically so your confusion will mirror what everyone had as they were announced/released.

Please react to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Official Xbox One Trailer

This is one of my favourite games in recent years, heart wrenching, sprinkled with sadness and hope, a testing of human character..... deceit, betrayal, or not, it throws you on and off the track, your head never knows what is right and what is wrong and the lead up to the finish and the kind of finish is probably one of the most epic gaming experiences in recent years. Mind blowing fantastic game, huge story, great videos, highs, lows and everything in between........ I loved it

Welcome to the mind of game designer icon Hideo kojima

If you wanna know more, I can wholeheartedly recommend Girlfriend Reviews' video on this game. It not only explains what this game is about, but also the beautiful story behind why Kojima made it so weird and sometimes even frustrating to play.

I love this game. The crazy thing about this trailer is you could watch it before playing and barely understand or follow what's happening. However, once you beat the game and know the whole story this trailer becomes an 8 minute synopsis of the entire experience. I literally tear up every time I watch this trailer recalling all the emotions I felt through the duration of the game's journey. As a fan of the game I found your reaction both satisfying and completely justified 😂😂

check out other trailers and the rest of kojima's work as well. Man's a true artist

This game is so chill , all you do is walk , but the terrain feels like a real world and not just a character running across a platform

The main concept of the game is that the rain rapidly ages whatever it touches and these weird monster things are also out and about so people specifically outfitted and trained to deliver stuff and connect the steelments travel through the empty expanses to make sure everyone gets what they want/need and they all stay connected

8:35 : 90% of people first time watching DeathStranding related content

150 hours later and I'm still roleplaying a delivery guy. This game is beautiful. If you don't cry at some points I would question your ability to experience anything

I love how this is such a typical Hideo Kojima trailer in structure. If you’ve seen the trailers for Metal Gear Solid 2-4 you know what I’m talking about.

Its pretty amazing when you can fill an entire trailer with huge spoilers and still spoil nothing because nothing makes sense. That an accomplishment in itself.

When you finish the game, you need to come back to this trailer . This game is a masterpiece!

It is difficult to talk about Death Stranding, not only because it is one of my favorite games, but also because of the way it messed with my mind. I started this game hating almost everything about it, and I finished it absolutely in love with it. This is a very complex game that takes you on a journey not only to understand the story but also to understand the characters and their motivations, from Sams avoidance of touching other people to the insanity of Higgs. If I would define Death Stranding in one sentence I would say: "It is a game about the journey of a broken man learning how to smile and have fun traveling on zip lines".

This game is definitely a masterpiece narratively and the game play is so awesome. Your reaction to this game is it’s awesome enjoy your perspective on the outside looking in. I subscribed to your channel today.

Honestly "what?!" is the word for pretty much everything involving Hideo Kojima xDDD also your face throughout the entire thing was priceless, 10/10

One of the best games I've ever played and one of the best stories I've ever had the honour to experience. Yes, Hideo Kojima is an eccentric madman, but his games are masterpieces.

Lindsay Wagner (playing the blonde in the game) was the original Bionic Woman btw, back in the 70s.

I'm so glad that you've finally got to this trailer. I wrote a plot description a few minutes ago, but the app closed on me for some reason, so that 10 minutes was wasted. Like someone else suggested, there is a great Girlfriend's Review that talks about the games themes, without spoiling the plot, and it's my favorite review of the game. Death Stranding was my 2019 game of the year. Plot synopsis: In the future humans discover that we all have metaphorical beaches, a limbo of some sort, that connect us to the land of the dead. But one day the dead start using those beaches to come back over to the land of the living. The incident is called the Death Stranding. When the antimatter of the dead touches the matter of living beings, huge explosions occur. Thus driving the remaining people to live underground in city sized bunkers, or smaller ones. The only way to transport stuff now is human carriers, which the protagonist Sam is. Sam is also the son of the president. The dying president tasks Sam with a mission, to travel across the country and connect these bunkers via a network that uses the chiralium the dead leave in the atmosphere. The network allows for instant transport of non organic material. Connecting all the bunkers, thus connecting America again. So you spend the game being a courier of sorts, going across the country, gaining the trust of people, so you can put them on the network. There are more story and plot beats, but that's the starting point. Also you were right about the babies in the glass containers. They are premature and the containers simulate a mother's womb. Being premature, the babies sort of have a connection to the lands of the living and dead, so the harness the container is attached to uses that connection to let couriers know that the dead is nearby, even b4 there is visual confirmation. And because the dead go in and out of sight.

They just released the novelization of this game and I'm on my second read. This narrative driven games like this is what keeps me in gaming. In my opinion it's brilliant 👏🏾.

8:40 the awkward silence kicked in haha i loved your reaction 😂👍

Death Stranding is a completely new type of action game, where the goal of the player is to reconnect isolated cities and a fragmented society. ... As Sam Porter Bridges, you will attempt to bridge the divides in society, and in doing create new bonds or “Strands” with other players around the globe. And your character Sam carries a small baby in an orange bottle strapped to his chest. It stays with him at all times. The child, called a BB, is essentially a tool: it alerts Sam to ghostly apparitions called BTs, which dot the post-apocalyptic landscape he must traverse.

Was excited for this one

Hannah this is like a 50 hour videogame, you can't see that

This game shows how far humans are willing to go to avert total extinction. Someone has to, so why not us? That's what Death Stranding is. Doing whatever you have to to circumvent the final extinction event. Making deliveries, making connections, bringing humanity together to prevent total annihilation.

I’ve never played it, but I can tell what was explained to me: the game is by Japanese developer Hideo Kojima, most known for the Metal Gear Solid franchise. One day, death broke and ghosts showed up and exploded, setting off a chain reaction of making more ghosts who also exploded, now there’s a mass extinctions on Earth. You are the son of the President, the dying lady in the White House, and your mission is travelling across America delivering things. You can’t sense the ghosts, but baby can, so you gotta travel with them. Kojima is famous for absurd names, some of the Characters are named Die-Hardman, Fragile, Feels-Badman. Being inscrutable is definitely part of the brand.

The look of utter confusion is so fucking priceless. Welcome to Hideo Kojima.

"Is this a movie or a game?" ..It's art from Hideo Kojima.

everyone who couldnt keep on keeping on: "the game is just a walking simulator". everyone who completed the game "Holy crap what a game im dumbfounded".

"I've got nothing" Don't worry, even people who finished the game say that. The trailers were phenomenally unhelpful in regards to what the game was about, and playing it wasn't as revealing as the players had hoped. It just doesn't make sense. And it seemingly isn't supposed to.

Me: Hears you say, "Death Stranding Trailer." Also me: There will be great confusion.

Death Stranding is kind of game that *"you need to sit back and relax"*, because of the majority of the gameplay is by walking delivering some cargo and watching the plot. The scenery isn't bad too, reminds me of Iceland.

The easiest way to explain the plot of the game... A huge disaster linked the land of the dead with the land of the living. So the land of the dead is leaking into our world, and this contaminates the area and makes it impossible to live in. Corrupted souls inhabit those areas and attack the living. When people die they must be cremated quickly or a huge explosion and influx of the land of the dead will happen, and it can wipe out entire settlements. Can't remember why this is said to happen, but I believe it was something to do with the soul leaving the body and causing a bad reaction somehow. It also occasionally rains time in contaminated areas, the rain ages everything it touches. The main character delivers supplies between settlements, and is recruited to help link together an advanced wireless computer network between settlements across the country. He has a keen sense of the invisible ghosts that roam the areas, so he has an advantage over most people when traveling. Fun fact, the experiments into the advanced instant wireless transmission tech that makes the network function, was the cause of the disaster in the first place. The baby in the container is a BB... It is half dead and half alive, so it has a connection with the land of the dead and can sense the ghosts strongly. They are connected to sensors that help people navigate the dangerous areas. The BBs come into being by being extracted from women who die while pregnant. This is a very simplified overview of the plot and story. The guy who created this game puts in a lot of story in the games he makes, and you can get several hours of cutscenes when playing through his games.

I can't here this song without tearing up anymore And I'm all for it

Great reaction.We need more non gamer to react to this type of game n soon they will realise about how amazing video game nowadays can be cuz most of the people keep saying IT’S JUST A VIDEO GAME NO NEED TO GET HYPED

This game helped me through 2020, I'm dead serious about that. Look for the trailer with Apocalyptica - Path as background music, it is less stressful and more "heroic"

That looked like a highlights video, not a trailer. As one that played the entire game, it covered so much, that you practically don't have to play the game. It still managed to leave some critical things in the dark.

you know, the executives at Konami might be kicking themselves in the nuts for saying no to Kojima. .....that, or, breathing a sigh of relief. one or the other. I mean, ....it's Kojima... the guy has no middle grounds.

You have pretty much the same reaction to this as everyone else 😂. Hideo Kojima makes great games with great story telling, but it's so confusing until the end. I'd recommend watching a play through/cut scene watch along. It'll take a while to get through, maybe in several sittings, but thoroughly worth it. Is it a film? Yes, but with gameplay 🙂.

The director of Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima, is a pioneer in this industry. Kojima persued a career in film, but things didn't work out, wich was a blessing in disguise, because he realized, that an interactive medium, like video games, can tell more nuanced stories. He is the creator of the "stealth action" genre, in the video game industry, and he is one of the first, if not, the first, to implement mature, Hollywood style narratives to a video game, back in the early 90's. Thereby, destroying the argument that "video games are just for kids". His game series, Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid, are basically sci-fi/stealth/acion games, that narratively play out like a military espionage thriller, with an anti-war theme to them. Since his fans are borderline zealots, who try to decypher every interview, and dissect every trailer he puts out, Kojima likes to have this back-and-forth with his fans, by intentionally making his trailers and Twitter posts very cryptic. Kojima knows how to hype his games up, like no one in this industry. He once created a fake game studio, went on stage, at a games conference, while disguised, just to present a trailer for a "new" IP. Everyone thought that this unknown new game studio, came out of nowhere with the best, and most mysterious trailer at that conference. Later, internet detectives pieced the clues together, and figured out that it was Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 5, wich would be his last entry to the saga, before he began production on Death Stranding. Although, sometimes a bit convoluted, Kojima still puts thrilling, and thought provoking entertainment out there. One of his games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, even predicted the future, in terms of how artificial intelligence is being used to filter out all the infornation on the internet, to create a specific narrative. That is basically what is happening today with big tech and social media, except, Kojima predicted it back in 2001. So, i just realized i wrote a whole novel about things that really have nothing to do with the game you just reacted to. My bad lol. I haven't played Death Stranding, yet, so, i don't have any meaningful insight, other than, that this game seems to lean heavy into the sci-fi, with elements of horror. I have no idea what is going on in any of the trailers, but Kojima still has a way of keeping people intrigued imo. You should give the other trailers a try, if you are ever low on content to react to. If you're interested, here's a link to a compilation video of all the main cinematic trailers (minus the one you just uploaded). bit.ly/3dirYmn

Hideo Kojima is a game designer who loves symbolism but hates subtlety.

This game is something else, is far beyond than the nowdays games. It is a journey.

Dat Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead lol. And the baby is called BB(Bridge Baby): babies taken out of mothers before full-term, the mother kept in a coma and connected to the baby so it feels like it's still in the womb; a connection between life and death for people so they can see BT's (Bridge Things) the black, ghost-like things.

If David Lynch was a game designer he would be Hideo Kojima

I'm loving your reaction to this as much as I did your 40k video. As opposed to Warhammer, however, Death Stranding would be a game, at least in its overall story, that I think you would enjoy greatly as it is all about making connections and bringing people together as communities.

Is it a movie? Yes. It is a game? Yes it is. When you play/watch a Hideo Kojima game, expect weirdness with a touch of genius.

usually when you watch a 3 minute movie trailer you can guess the whole plot of that movie while kojima can give you a freakin 8 minute game trailer and that trailer just made you confused like an idiot unless you played the game, the game itself is truly a piece of art and one of the best experience I've got from a video game, kojima just made a game about delivery guy saving the world by delivering shit and made it a piece of art, the whole gameplay is like reading a novel or some sort of survivor diaries, the story is something that you can't get anywhere else it's so unique and bizarre, literary one of the best game out there.

I recommend checking out the other Death Stranding trailers! They reveal more of the story (which might actually make you confused more) and they are still fun to watch. Here's a list: Death Stranding Reveal Trailer E3 2016 Death Stranding TGA Trailer 2016 Death Stranding Game Rewards Trailer 2017 Death Stranding E3 Trailer 2018 Death Stranding Gameplay Trailer 2019

Hey Hannah, in case you for whatever reason decide that you want to play this game, I highly advise that you begin by not touching this game at all. For starters, first familiarize yourself with all of the other games that have come out these last few decades before touching this one, as you'll quickly realize that this game is like no other. Second off, you can do this while doing the first piece of advice, which is to play the Metal Gear Solid series. The reason why I advise this is because this is the series that Hideo Kojima created and worked on for decades before Death Stranding. Playing those games will let you get a comprehensible glimpse into that man's insane brain, but you also get to experience a legendary game series that has unfortunately been inactive because he got fired from being able to continue his own series. And third, dont worry about being confused from either the games trailer or while playing the game and trying to understand its story. Every trailer that Hideo Kojima had ever made for his games have all had out of context trailers that give zero insight into what the story and setting is truly about. And second off, even if you get confused about the story while playing the game, the game will always eventually give you an explanation of context to help clue you in and give your answers. I'm saying all of this because i finally got into this game, years after it came out with everyone being confused about it, criticizing it for being too boring or "just a walking simulator", just so I can finally see what this game is truly about, and I can see that a lot of people were either wrong, misinformed or the game was just never meant for them. I, without a doubt, can say that I love this game so much, and I say this because I dont want to see more people harshly criticize something that is actually really good once you open up and actually give it a chance.

I think people recommended this because they knew you would get confused. Hell, I'm still confused.

Get ready for a rollercoaster of deep emotions. This game is in my top 3 games list of all time; I’ve been playing video games all my life, and I can assure you, no other game out there has given me such experience

Have you ever thought about doing game cutscene watch throughs? You do trailers but maybe you could do cutscene reactions, of course that'll probably be less often because of how long they can be but it would honestly be a pretty cool idea, make a list of trailers you found really intriguing and then sort through them and find which one to react to. Maybe even make a poll for which one as well. I would love to see that

This is one of the best pieces of art i have consumed

This is awesome!! It took me 3 months to pass this game and what an adventure I had.

Director Kojima is famous for confusing quirky plots. The story of Death Stranding is a sci-fi masterpiece imo but depending on who you ask the game is either a boring walking simulator or an epic cerebral emotional journey with deep meaning. I'm in the latter category.

First time I saw you speechless after watching a trailer and in a good way. Hannah: Is this a movie or a game?! Everyone: Both! A star studded game.

I prefer the first bunch of trailers from when the game was still just been revealed. They looked like weird experimental music videos or short movies. Have a look: 1 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UcaMw4aCz4c.html 2 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H2Hy96sOnq8.html 3 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XcuFJXgU6cA.html

There are even more trailers... and every single last will trigger the SAME reaction you had after this one xD

So basicaly the world of the dead merged with the world of the living and ghosts apeared everywhere. When one of those ghosts interacts with a person a explosion heppens. It caused the apocalypse. The remains of humanity had to hide in underground bunkers to avoid the ghosts. Those babys in the jars are used to sense the ghosts, they're mother became brain dead while pregnant so they are between the two worlds. The protagonist is a delivery man who delivers stuff from one bunker to another, he also happens to be the son of the president of whats left of America, and hes also immortal.

That's why it's called a teaser... To make you play it to understand

"Is this a movie or a game?" Let's just say that after you complete the game, there's a feature length scene that finally explains what the hell is going on. Amd it still makes little sense.

Yes, the trailer brings more question than answers. It's a cinematic game, a playable movie. The story is complex, but when you finish the game, everything makes sense (i got most of things, but it's common to not understand everything when it comes to a Kojima game, some things I had to read in a Death Stranding wiki). I cried at the ending, it's a beautiful game and has a great soundtrack. The trailer song, BB's Theme, made sense with the game story. Recommended!

There is no good or concise way to explain this game or even just this trailer in a youtube comment.

"I need help with this one" like everyone else including the people who played it. Its a Kojima game he is Christopher Nolan for games. You wont be able to figure out the whole thing on your own.

Hideo Kojima (the Producer/Director of the game) is basically the David Lynch of video games.

Post-apocalypse show that usps, UPS and FedEx will alway be around. Welcome to the post office.

"It's got fifty endings". No. It only present a single ending. But what you take from that ending varies from player to player, and that's what makes it so great to me. I've seen the 40-120 hour game in full 27 times now, and still counting, still picking up clues, and yes - I really am that weird :D. One player I expect to finish this week is still confused as hell, but based on the questions and guessing along the road I expect will end up with "everything makes sense in the end". It's a masterpiece like no other. Most players that "get it" have a very fulfilling ending that "explains everything" and maybe "confirms something". Except the question that the game don't even ask but still provide you with tons of clues about in every cutscene. So my hope is that the DLC/DS2 will provide answers to the questions most players never asked and no players would have the answer to in a single playthrough. One player called it "game of the century, experience of a lifetime", but still didn't get the half of it (which is impossible without digging further). It's also a game I recommend to those who I think can enjoy the slow paced gameplay loop, and that plays alone with no stream chat that steals the focus. Complete attention to the very lengthy and numerous cutscenes throughout the story is an absolute requirement, or you'll either not get the story at all, or have everything be massive reveals with no confirmations in the guesswork you're supposed to do in a mystery (with strategy, tactics, and stealth elements) game. Again, with the biggest mystery of all not even being presented to the player in an obvious way. Metaphoric, slow paced, heavy use of references, obfuscatious (?) in style (even cinematography is very deliberate here), I get why this isn't for everyone. Chess isn't for everyone. Ask a chess player if chess is a bad game. If you think the trailer is confusing, wait till ya get a load of the first two or three hours of it :D A usual comment is "Am I on drugs or something?" :D Trying to understand any of it from the get go is pointless. Note that Kojima sets up the player for the last 5 hours or so with long treks in horrible weather, crazy reveals, and several massive fights. By the time the 2-4 last cutscenes hit (about 1.5 hours long), the player is a mentally exhausted wreck which can manifest itself through emotions. Keep that in mind when watching this mashup of the two last cutscene reveals - putting all the sequences in the right order makes a huge difference instead of the snippets you're given as "BB memory flashbacks" throughout the game - SPOILER alert, obviously: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ooolWYnbmH0.html Note how different players react differently to various parts, how it "clicks" at different locations. Also note how none of them connects with the meaning of the doll, even if it was literally explained in the game a couple of hours previously, and none of them connects the dots of how the first cutscene ends and the second starts. Of my 27, only one even took notice on how the second starts, but not trying to explain why (which would be impossible).

Hannah: WHAT?! You know, I finished this game to a 100% and I’m not sure I get it either

I thought it would be boring, and repetitive, and frankly it is in parts. But it's scary, and strange, and I love Sam and his journey to unite what's left of the world that he can. Every job well done was something accomplished. Every connection to those I couldn't see, helping me build and move further on, led me to want to help those that couldn't see me. And the landscape is wonderful, and harsh. It's a complex game. It sucked me in.

5:16, that actually is the definition of the game haha, Hideo Kojima sure can be wierd sometimes, but damn do I love his games 8:47 aswell

With this game, i understood why Hideo Kojima is called a mastermind

You should react to all the other Death Stranding trailers, not because they'll be any more enlightening or any less confusing, but simply because it'll be entertaining (for your audience).
