Meanwhile, Death Stranding has Meta user score of 5.3 and 8112 negative reviews vs 7972 positive reviews.

Right after release positive/negative ratio was about 66%/33%. Now Kojima boys are losing.

I've seen news about DS insider on reddit, who's saying that DS bugdet is about 150-200 millions without marketing. So a full budget is about 200-300 millions. I've seen the game, and I think the numbers are close to the truth. The game looks expensive even though it's pure horseshit IMO.

Looks like we have got the biggest flop ever.

Another news from the UK chart:

"Death Stranding sales drop a huge 71% week-on-week in its second week on sale. It falls from 2nd to 8th place on the charts."

http://www.vgchartz.com/article/441423/uk-weekly-week-46-2019/

So Death Stranding is just one of typical games that cannot grab people's attention, does not hold up in charts, and disappears very quickly.

Death Stranding is a bad game and a flop.

Sony bosses will punish Kojima for such a poor performance.

I'm starting this game this weekend. Wish me luck lol.

Man, if you're not a rabid fanboy, return the game ASAP. You'll save $60 and 60-70 hours of leisure time which you can spend on something more useful or entertaining.

If you don't have severe positive bias towards Kojima's creations, you'll be extremely disappionted.

Positive reviews from knowledgable, experienced gamers are kryptonite to the naysayers on this board, lol (and particularly in this thread). In other words, expect to be ignored by the haters. They know they can't discredit you so they'll just pretend you didn't say anything.

Delusional fanboys think they have 'arguments'. Very funny.

They just invested to their fanboyism too much time and resourses and cannot accept the fact that Death Stranding is incredibly flawed game. It's purely phychological thing.

Have you accepted Tomokazu Fukushima, a real writer behind MGS1-3. as our Lord and Saviour?

Kojima isn't God.

It really is just set up to be the ultimate movie game,

Why do you call it "a movie game" when after first 3 hours the only things you do is walking and speaking with holograms for many hours, and watching mostly the same cutscenes when you're going to sleep, attaching a city to the network, or plugging to Bridge Baby? It's far from being a movie game.

That story is pure nonsense. I usually shy away from genres like JRPGs because of the bullshit plot lines, but Death Stranding is in a league of its own. It’s not deep, just dumb.

What do you find as nonsense? Where do you see the bullshit plot lines?

Now I've completed my story walkthough.

You cannot even imagine how amauterish, slow-paced, boring, bloated, cliched Death Stranding story is. Imagine MGS-Silent Hill-like story that is 10 000 times worse. It will be Death Stranding. DS story is worse than its walking simulator gameplay, if these things could be compared.

Definitely the worst videogame I've seen in my life.

Let me give a quote from AusGamers review (Australia, not America – 6 out of 10)

"I cannot in good conscience recommend this game to all but the most rabid fans of Hideo Kojima's work. And even then, I feel like this game may cause some of them to balk and question their devotion."

I'm sure that a big inner struggle is happening within not all but many Kojima's fanboys. They are in denial stage and cannot accept that the emperor has no clothes. For now.
