Computer games.



I'm optimistic about Death Stranding, but at the same time I'm hoping it's a significant improvement over Metal Gear Solid 5, which was... er... a tad overrated upon release. Being called the best of all time when in reality it was 'just' pretty decent.

It was a half finished game. Kojima wanted another year and was suffered multiple interferences. Was held back on budget. Then he told Konami he won't be renewing a contract so they really messed around they stripped anyone from junior employees to big-name producers from their normal roles and making them perform jobs like working in a slot-machine factory, working as a security guard, and wiping down fitness equipment. Also, employees who were late in returning from their short lunch breaks would be publicly shamed across the company working on the game. Told Kojima he wasn't aloud touch on certain controversial issues in the game and so on.

It's just amazing that it was an actual working game after that is some accomplishment.

And I agree though it was over rated to bits. But still.

About a 7/10. That's the concern with Kojima games though - reviews automatically slap a 10 on them on release. In reality his last great game was over a decade ago IMO.

For Death Stranding, I'll be waiting a few months before spending on it.
 
Battlefield V is impossible to play online.

parachute, land, walk, get shot.
What’s the point?

Yes 7 is fantastic all things considered. It's a big credit to Kojima. From what I was being revealed I was expecting it to be a disaster. What game was that your talking about was his last good one?
