I was watching some Death Stranding 2 and I realized:<\/p>\n
Hideo Kojima\u2019s games are GUI\/VFX\/3D porn for tech fans. They are Barbies\u2122\u00a9 for dudebros. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s been making the same thing for almost forty years! It\u2019s not about gameplay. Nor stories.<\/p>\n
All reviews are like \u201cit\u2019s long and confusing, combat is lame but then you\u2019ll get it\u201d<\/em> My brother in Christ, do you really think that I have 30+ hours available to push a stick in one direction, delivering\/picking up stuff digitally with corny lines to listen to? Watching a dude run in a harsh environment shooting at stuff? I have already done that in the past. And I have more enjoyable activities to do. Like taking the trash out (jk jk). <\/p>\n Also, \u201cgetting it after hours of pain\u201d<\/em> is a trope that needs to die.<\/p>\n Once out of gamedev\u2019s reality distortion field, it\u2019s pretty evident how there\u2019s not much substance or entertainment. It\u2019s just tasks in front of shiny things flying on a monitor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was watching some Death Stranding 2 and I realized: Hideo Kojima\u2019s games are GUI\/VFX\/3D porn for tech fans.
