168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Death Stranding 2's positive reviews , making it one of the best games of 2025 with exactly half of the year still to go. That led to a𒅌 slew of jokes about Hideo Kojima being upset about people liking his game too much, but tu♏rns out the Kojima Productions boss is actually okay with everyone loving his new game.

Kojima made a couple of comments during the build to the launch of Death Stranding 2 suggesting he wouldn't be happy if everyone loved the sequel and if its review scores were too high. The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Metal Gear Solid creator felt so strongly about this that, when those given an early look at the game unanimously professed their love for what they'd been shown, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kojima went back in there and changed the ga🙈me.

Citing that people "liked it too much" and that he wanted his work to be more polarizing, now that Death Stranding 2 is in the hands of more people, Kojima has changed his tune. Speaking on stage during the London leg ♒of the Deaꦍth Stranding 2 world tour, when asked how he feels about the impressive review scores for the Death Stranding follow-up, Kojima replied via interpreter, "Well, it was [well] evaluated. I'm happy with the scores, thank you," (via ).

Kojima followed up by asking who in attendance had been playing the game during its opening weekend. Being at a Death Stranding 2 event, naturally, pretty much everyone reacted with a cheer. However, one🌼 person was able to boast t🧸hat they were playing Death Stranding 2 at that exact moment, and Kojima noticed them.

Pointing them out, the attendee was continuing the second part of their Death Stranding journey on a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation Portal. A heck of an advert for the handheld PS5 accessory if that was the case, and it was working well, not to mention the WiFi it was connec🍃ted to. My guess is, while they might have been playing it, it won't have been t𝔉he best way to experience the game.

Even though Death Stranding 2 scored a 90, that doesn't mean it is void of the Kojima magic that has set his games apart in🐭 the past. I think it just means we're more accustomed to it. While Kojima's games have been popular for decades, we've reached a point where almost everyone is now familiar with his work and what he can do. When people play Death Stranding 2, they're marveling at what Kojima has pulled off this time instead of sitting there confused, wondering who on earth thought all of this up.
