At first I thought BB's Theme, which I didn't know had a title was a song from some other source. Now that I find that it's an original creation from Forsell, I'm hyped.

OP
We're so close that I'm trying to just avoid ANYTHING Death Stranding, haven't even watched the launch trailer.
...I'm here though so we see how well that's going lol
I've been looking forward to the magic that wizard is going to create.

I know him personally (not in real life but through social media)
He is getting the game day 1 of course.
Holy shit so midnight Pacific. Earlier than I thought
I watched the trailer in 4k now and OMG.... This is too awesome!
I mean yeah there are probably scenes from the later parts but whatever I still can't get spoiled by them.
What a ride, we've been waiting for this it feels like forever.,..
And it's so close now!

Fully agree with you and I've long since accepted Kojima's style of storytelling, but it's how he mixes those elements with the game's mechanics that elevates the whole package for me. Just like how bloodborne weaves its mechanics like insight, items and attires into the story and lore, I always found some of that present too in Kojima's works even if to a lesser extent.
Just from the previews it feels like Death Stranding is taking more steps to tie its themes into its gameplay than any MGS game before. And given the non-hesitation of Kojima and his team to experiment with so many weird and wacky concepts at the same time makes me very excited to see it all.
Yeah, I didn't watch the trailer either. I'm playing with fire being in here, but I want hype tweets and shit.
So, I really don't wanna get spoiled on anything, but can anyone tell me how how involved the story is without spoilers (if possible lmao)?
Are we talking in a similar vein to MGSV where it's there but it's mostly background fluff for the gameplay? Or are we getting a full on MGSIV-esque narrative experience?

Not me, the one I talk about is
Sam and Amelie hugging in front of what seems to be a voidout happening in the distance. But it could be a flashback, a dream or plain misdirection. And even If it's something happening in the story later, I have no context or anything, just a great looking shot
Not alluding to my score in any way, but the amount of people on this forum that seem to think outlets that aren't on MC are worthless depresses me sometimes.
I don't think that at all. But that post certainly made it sound like you have a negative opinion on it.
Anyway I would just ignore those people. For some metacritic is life and nothing else matters
I absolutely wasn't intending to allude to that.
But honestly, running a smaller site that struggles to get some stuff (hell, even getting answers from certain publishers to email queries is a brick wall), but being able to get this out for review is *massive* for us. Yet of course a section of people won't even look at it because "YOU ON META?!" is the first question... The amount of hours that have gone into this one title alone... Yeah. I hope y'all will give it a look!

Speaking for me personally, I don't want to risk getting spoiled, but I do want to get a decent idea about the quality of any game I consider purchasing. This means that I almost never read reviews for story-heavy games, which means that sites like Opencritic are just the best way for me to get an overall impression of what the reviewers think of a game, while minimising potential exposure to spoilers.
I pretty much only read reviews for arcadey stuff like Beat Saber or Super Meat Boy, or sims and strategy games. Basically anything where I don't care about the story, if there even is one.
High profile review threads are rarely ever about the opinions itself, but the narrative of the what the review aggregate tells.
We're on OC, we were actually one of their contributor partners when that side of the site went live.
As for spoilers, absolutely none appear in our reviews as policy.
I have a fairly extreme definition of spoilers, but I appreciate the effort. Could you link me to your site? I'd love to read a review for an older game I've played first.
Just a question so I won't make anyone angry come tomorrow; I will be posting the English translation of my Dutch review (will be on Metacritic) in the review topic. However, my question is, how should i place the translation? Its about 1800 words. All just like you would normally post, or perhaps in a 'quote' box?
Same goes for the 20 screenshots I made. Well, I made 200 or so screenshots, but we can only post 20, so heh. Just in a quote box?
Just asking right now so I don't screw up tomorrow :/

I was wondering what I said was wrong, but then I read your posts above me. Sorry man, didn't mean to intent that its more important to be on Metacritic or what not. I just mention it whenever I place a review (and I always do when I review), to explain why I translate it for people here. I guess it comes off a bit 'oh look at me, Im on metacritic'... sorry for that! I'll be reading your review for sure!
