(I actually enjoyed it)
In case anyone is wondering, the game is called “Norman Reedus and the magic fetus”.
I waited so long to play this “delivery game” but now its one of my favorites.
It’s just so unique. I even found myself getting annoyed with the boss fights and plot, because it was distracting me from my deliveries.
Ironically in dunkey’s revisited review he talks about how if the game was only focused on deliveries, and reconnecting the world after some event, and not beaches and BTs and bridge babies and all the wild stuff it would be a better game. But then it wouldn’t be a Kojima game
Honestly I feel the best way to play any Kojima game is to seperate the story and gameplay mentally. Like playing monopoly but every twenty minutes your great grandfather drops family lore and rants about how the English are at fault for all the worlds problems in increasing long winded rants.
I am so angry that I didn’t just enjoy the heck out of Death Stranding, I freaking love it. Why did I spend 20 hours finding mats to build a highway so I can travel a bit faster?
For the Thumbs Ups! Think of how many other porters used and appreciated your highways!
I skipped this game altogether. I knew that I didn’t have the patience to handle a Kojima story without the metal Gear background that I love. And i cannot stand Norman Reedus, I think he’s the ugliest, weirdest, worst actor in Hollywood so skipping this game was easy
Was a great interactive movie.
Yeah, you definitely have to go into the game with the right expectations. I loved it, but I was also in the perfect headspace for a very slow, chill experience.
I don’t know about chill. The first 5 minutes:
!Yo the president wants to see you. Oh BTW the president is your mother. Oh and she’s dying. Oh and once she dies you have to take her body to this spot so that everyone doesn’t die. Tomorrow? No right fucking now. !<
I couldn’t get into it, and I’ve beaten every MGS, so I know how weird stuff can get. I’ll have to give it another shot one day, but it was not clicking with me.
Nah, that’s not the insane rush, that’s actually a really chill first mission to help you get into the swing of them
The opening where you run down a big hill and then a cutscene where a bunch of shadow creatures attack and kill some guys really horribly and then a big explosion goes off and kills your character but the baby in his throat stops sucking it’s thumb so he can be reborn
“Get the presidents body the fuck out of here” makes perfect sense and looks tame as shit after THAT
It really was a slow burn. I had to progress through 4 or 5 story missions before it really clicked for me. Probably around the time I got >!the first exoskeleton!<. The story starts to do its kojima thing and sucking you in with weird questions, and the gameplay finally starts to feel like you’re making a decision instead of just on rails.
Good game, good game.
Ooooh this sounds like my sort of game. I love visual novels and things like that, I really enjoyed GTA V because of the story (the dialogs are downright hilarious). I might give DS a try then.
DS is like if Eurotruck Simulator had a story mode. And it’s about ghosts and babies.
I’ve never played this game, but don’t you collect your own piss and store it in bottles for some reason? Odd that the comic doesn’t depict that part.
