The guy from The Walking Dead has a baby in a tube and has to deliver parcels on what looks like Mars. There was some sort of apocalyptic event, everyone sounds like they’ve been named by a seven-year-old, and the guy who came up with these ideas is apparently a visionary genius. That’s about as far as my rudimentary understanding of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Death Stranding goes.
But like, what do you do? I have absolutely no idea. I’ve only ever seen clips of people stumbling along ridges with a quite frankly impractical nuℱmber of delivery boxes strapped to their backs, as the guy from The Walking Dead stumbles down a cliff face. All the clips are captioned with “peak gameplay” and people are reacting with fire emojis underneath. I actually saw a video eulogizing about getting their truck stuck and having to carry several cases of unknown deliveries halfway up a mountain. In the background, Norman Reedus is just struggling, moving at an actual snail’s pace. Huh? Pretty rocks, I guess.
Hideo ඣKojima Proves We Need More Weird Triple-A Games
As the triple🍌-A scene grows stale, Kojima﷽ and Death Stranding 2 are shining lights.
Is it some inside joke, or is this actually fun gameplay? I want to understand because people clearly seem to like whatever the hell this game is. My colleagues and friends seem to really like delivering parcels. They stand to🌸gether in little circles and whisper about “strands”, and when I get too close, they all break apart and give me dodgy side-eye glances.
No One Seems Able To Explain What The Game Actually Is
When I ask people, with all the earnestness I can muster, “What is this game?”, the answer is usually, “It’s very good, but I can’t really explain it.” Right. But like, what happens? “I can’t really explain it, you just need to play it.” I feel like I’m going mad. Stuck in some kind of video gameꦬ Truman Show where everyone knows the truth, and I’m resigned to butting my head incessantly against Hideo Kojima’s masterpiece♊. He’d probably call me Mr. Trapped In Giantbubbleman or something.
I guess I am trapped really. Death Stranding is the sort of critically acclaimed video game I should play. Then I’d probaꦡbly understand what everyone is talking about. Sounds simple enough, in theory, but sometimes these things just slip you by. At this point, I’m so far gone that any impression I have of the game is no longer genuine. I’m not playing to have fun, I’m playing with years’ worth of spoilers, and snippets, and terms, and phrases, and hints, and flashing images of Daryl in The Walking Dead shouting, “and𝐆 people in hell want slurpees!”
This was my experience with Game of Thrones. Awesome television, everyone’s raving about it, buꦿt the more people talked abou💝t it, the less I wanted to watch it. At least with GoT I kinda knew what it was all about, even from overhearing people talk about it, but no matter how hard I try to understand Death Stranding, I can’t make any sense of it whatsoever. I did eventually watch GoT a couple of years after the final series, and you know what? It was pretty good.
Eventually, Death Stranding might get the same treatment. I’ll just wait for it to pass out of the zeitgeist and consume it in my own little bubble. That seems right for the sort of game Death Stranding is (or at least, the game I think it is). A meditative experience? A phi🌺losophical reading of our struggle to connect in a post-COVID, internet-dominated age? You don’t just walk in Death Stranding: it’s a pilgrimage, a journey, through Kojima’s rain-s꧂oaked haiku, teetering on a topography of longing and detritus. Am I getting it?
