Even if the leaks are true I don't see why some are panicking.
The only disappointing I have read so far is not going to the moon. And I guess the 5 figures in the sky not really having a role.
Stuff like not liking the gameplay is all subjective. We already knew lots of people won't like the fact that the game is not an action game and has a huge focus on planning ahead, walking, traversal and micromanagement.

I've never given a shit about story or any of Kojimas nonsense in his past games, but the GAMEPLAY is usually great and he perfected it in MGSV. The impressions make it sound like he fucked that up in this game and that I find amazing if true, for all the wrong reasons. There's some things you can rely on in life such as everyone hating Liverpool FC except Liverpool FC fans, Kojima making great gameplay was another one. :(
Still getting it though, I do like games where you just walk around and explore.

So it sounds like all my worst fears are coming true. There is no magical hidden gameplay they weren't showing. No incredible boss battles. Crazy shit going down that makes the whole game tense. Some gameplay revelation where the online strand idea is a game changer. it all sounds like it's just boring basic stuff. Well maybe now my expectations drop a lot and I can enjoy the game if it's not all boring.
Couldnt it just be...these guys suck at the game at first??
I would imagine it's like trying to get a SSS combo in DMCV on your first day with the game. I've already seen boots and abilities that change up the gameplay.

I'm not sure how being good or not good at a game would relieve tedium.
Being good at bloodborne relieved you of the tedium of farming blood vials and running through gauntlets to get to the boss.
How do you get good at wandering an empty world?
In MGSV you can definitely make the game more fun by just exploring all the gameplay mechanics and setting goals like s rank, no alert and so on. I don't see how this game allows any of that.

Ya the alt right dude who made like 200 videos for rdr2 where he "killed the annoying feminist" and "deported mexicans".
So he's really dumb to post this with his real nickname, i don't think he will receive anymore review code anytime soon
This guy is a YouTuber btw, close to a mil subs. I'm in his Discord, it's all legit. Stuff he posted:

I doubt he gets his copies in a legit way, he does this for a lot of games.
Well I'm wondering If it's not in fact tedious but they simple aren't taking advantage of the many tools at their disposal.
just being hopeful, bad gameplay and Kojima still doesn't mix for me.

For sure my dude ^^
If you kill an enemy, 48 hours after death they'll go into necrosis and after that they will voidout, making a fresh BT and a crater. This applies to any enemy that is killed with a gun meaning if you kill an enemy, you HAVE to dispose of their body by taking them to Chiral Crematoriums located high in the mountains and burn their body. The reason they're so high up is because Chiral Smoke is dangerous to go over a city which can cause Timefall.
Oh god with every new impression it gets worst. The Minecraft crowd?! That's exactly what I hate about games these days. I don't love BOTW because it's just too open and free (still the game was great cause gameplay was superb). What is kojima doing?!
Did you expect this to be some straight up action adventure game from everything they've shown? You're also hinging everything on what one person is saying.
About what you'd expect for a game that's only been in development for 3 years.
Anyone expecting more was setting themselves up for disappointment.

I expected a game with genius gameplay ideas. Something where it starts as a simple premise but grows and grows more and more complex to the point where the entire world is filled with crazy gameplay situations and ideas. You know a KOJIMA GAME. Great bosses. Great mechanics.
And yes there is hope that it's one person but he is describing everything I wish it wasn't. Subjective part is do you like wandering around walking but what he is describing is objective, you don't do much of anything but travel. Did he finish the game? Maybe the last half is totally different like some have been hinting.
This is not the thread for that.
The thing is we have seen boss battles in the trailers that look pretty crazy. Particularly the Orca / Tentacle Slug thing. I mean sure maybe the mechanics of the encounter may not be interesting, but that is hard to believe. Kojima has created some of the best boss battles in gaming, and the designs at least look crazier than anything he has done before. I also think this is doing something different...the aesthetic is also incredible as usual...up with films like the new Blade Runner. In this aspect I think Kojima should get a lot of praise...This game has already shown it has incredible art.

So Mr. Throwaway was talking about how Death Stranding as a game doesn't really do anything new. Like the concept itself isn't new at all. It's something that combines a number of different features together. Jox (the other leaker) also said the same thing.
Bear in mind that he hasn't finished the game yet, though I was kinda expecting stuff outside of Voidouts/Hades to really exemplify the whole Social Strand System Kojima talks talking about. Looks like it doesn't really go anywhere.
Also Jox found Hades really disappointing. Throwaway is saying that Hades is just pure gunplay.

Mikkelsen-sama is all I need.
leakers, inform us as to his character's screentime right this instant.

Hideo Kojima's Minecraft has a nice ring to it.
Honestly I hope Kojima fans and casual fans find alot of enjoyment here. So far it's not crazy enough to be for me lol

It is funny because that is often what something new is...For instance Darwin was inspired by Malthus when he came up with the idea of survival of the fittest...Most innovation comes from inspiration, often from outside your field...
This is what I was expecting. I thought this social strand and void out thing would be at the core of what makes this game unique. And it's sad that it sounds like it doesn't really add anything.
Bear with me people I'm just adjusting my expectation from what I wish was GOTY to now something I figure I probably will still like but find lots of issues with.
Dunno how some people still expect action game at this point.
I'm excite to get a hand on this ^^ Environment design looks incredible.

The previews had me worried this game was everything wrong with MGSV dialed up to 10.
e: even the two places he goes to in the previews are just grey blocky buildings that blend into the environment.
This was my worry from what we have been shown so far. There is literally nothing interesting in the environments shown to want to explore other than the glowing waypoints going into the sky.

I thought I remember reading Kojima saying whether or not you run into things on your travels depends on what route you take, like a shorter route could have more enemies or you can play it safe and take a longer route or something like that
I can't pull the quote cuz I don't remember where I read it so I could be talking out of my ass
