I had a great time with Death Stranding even though at certain points the story was so dumb it actually made me angry.

I just imagine Kojima trying to explain to Mads about time travel rain that makes you old and babies that are half dead that can sense the ghosts so that you don't die because when you die you explode and that there are also lots of whales made out of goo and that Mads is a soldier but also a baby and then Norman Reedus--

All while Mads is wearing a mocap suit and nodding with a confused look. "So I stand here?"

"Yeah you stand there."

Comedy gold.

I remember when people mocked Konima for MGS2's story... But I always said that criticism was unfounded, and that MGS2 was a perfect capsule of crazy, thought provoking and meta storytelling.

Death Stranding though... Yeah the man lost the plot there. At least he acknowledger the game needed to be more fun, and I see huge potential for the gameplay concept... So here's to a more enjoyable sequel with great presentation. I have 0 expectations for the story but thats ok.
