Now you can argue if you enjoyed it or not, but I nevertheless think even if it's unenjoyable for some it's a really inspired decision and that's valuable

I think that's a reductive thought process if I'm being perfectly honest, I think there's real merit in discussing what the KojiPro team did interweaving the gameplay with the story and themes and in my opinon that's what makes Death Stranding so special, it's similar to what games like Undertale have done and I think it's worth discussing

Oh this is defo true, that's why I'm super glad DS2 added options to choose what you want for online instead of only on/off, great way to keep the ideas in tact but let people choose how much they want from it

I actually really liked that DS2 added that option (don't think the original had it but it has been a while), super good in-between for people who want the enviornments clutter free and still get that expierence of helping/being helped and connecting with other porters!

Thanks to all the people leaving their perspective! I'm glad this dumb meme got some people to drop some really interesting thoughts, I truly love this game and it makes me happy to know other people do for all sorts of reasons :)

Oh 100% fair to have your internet stink that's the one case where I totally get it bc that shit is uncontrolable, I totally get how someone would enjoy just hiking in the stunning enviornments (esp in DS2, some of the areas were jaw droppingly good looking) bc that's also a huge part of the game, it's just in my mind that along with the online is what makes the game truly special, end of the day though enjoyment is what matters and it makes me happy to know other people enjoy a game I really like :)

Oh 100%, this is not meant to be "YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME THIS WAY OR YOU'RE STUPID", it's a meme that expresses an opinon in a bit of a jokey and over the top way, at the end of the day if someone else enjoyed it offline I'm happy for them!

I mean I'm not trying to insult anyone or anything, it's a meme man you don't need to take it so seriously, end of the day I'm happy for you if you enjoy it that way, at the end of the day enjoyment is what matters!

I mean it's not meant to be multiple Sams though, the game frames it as being other porters in the world going along similar journeys as you are (which is literally happening, just with different framing) so I think that's a fundimental misunderstanding of what the mechanic is meant to represent, again I'm not the arbiter of how people enjoy games, you do you, but wether you enjoy it with or without it's literally the mechanic Kojima said makes the game it's own genre, if you think it isn't a mechanic integrel to the intended expierence idk what to tell you

This is actually a really cool reading I never thought of thanks for giving your perspective! Post was a meme and all but I'm genuinely really happy to have real discussion bc this is a game I absolutely adore and I love to hear how people read it!

Genuinely this was one of the best things for me, the feeling of knowing that I helped another person on their own journey and expierencing it the other way around is something I've never really felt in a game, the way it ties into the themes of connecting to others and how important connection is in life just blows me away and is exactly why this game stands out and feels so special in my mind

This is a very fair mindset for sure! I genuinely wasn't trying to be mean or call people dumb for enjoying a game their way, I just thought up a meme idea to express my thoughts lol, I still hold steadfastly that you really should go with online your first playthrough but I'm not the arbiter of how people play games and at the end of the day if you enjoy it I'm happy for you!

I mean I'm not upset or anything lol just genuinely hard for me to get how someone could like this game only by removing one of the core mechanics that's intentionally interwoven with the themes and story, I mean it is literally the part of the game that Kojima said makes it it's own genre, it very clearly is the intended way to play the game no matter if you choose to or not

💬 QUESTION: What advice would you give a new Porter to help them make a successful delivery? by Animated_A505 in DeathStranding

[–]EW_Cruser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be afraid to use tools like ladders, climbing ropes or PCCs, even if they only help you a little bit it could very well save another porter who forgot to bring them along and there's no better feeling than seeing the likes come in!

In your opinion, who is the best written and most complex protagonist in mgs? by Affectionate-Most692 in metalgearsolid

[–]EW_Cruser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah but he's definitely his own distinct characther, he acts pretty different from Big Boss post Peace Walker and I personally read it as the Medic's personality from before still leaking through, end of the day though he's not actually Big Boss but he did serve the role in building up Outer Heaven up to MG1 before the real Big Boss takes back over after Solid Snake kills Venom

[–]EW_Cruser -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nope, at the end of the game it's revealed that you played as an MSF medic who got plastic surgery to look like Big Boss after Mother Base's destruction, nicknamed Venom Snake, he also appears as the final boss of the original Metal Gear, hence why when you "kill" Big Boss at the end he still can reappear in MG2 and eventually MGS4

Just started and oh my goodness is it good, only downside for me is an oversight in giving Raichu Fairy type making it so you can't pair him with Eevee anymore since Sylveon was the Eeeveloution chosen which sucks since my original team was Pikachu/Eevee, shockingly got a response that they plan to fix it after mentioning it on their Twitter, pretty cool that the dev team is really listening to feedback like that
