lol you don't know how average works.
Did you stopped here? "Death Stranding is not a "fun" game " because the quoting is pure praise besides this,if this is the best you found,all reviews justified their score.
I think he's right. It's a weighted average, not all the reviewers affect the collected score the same. Edge's review is weighted more than others and would shift it harder.
For someone who adore responsive control in video games, I actually find the deadzone setting a little bit too sensitive.
This is the first time I ever turn UP the deadzone setting in a game.
Honestly Deadzone 5 just feels so much better than Deadzone 0, it just feels right.
I am glad the game offers these options instead of forcing a particular deadzone setting on the player.
RDR2 could learn a lot from this game when it comes to control & settings.

Not,it is not,if the next review would be EDGE a 2,it would drop the score 1 point at max even with weight,if Death Stranding had 20 reviews would drop more points,but after 83 reviews,not happening,a lot of scores below 80 will dropped it,specially <70,but EDGE alone will not drop so much.Even if EDGE score it a 10 now wouldn't make the score up more than 1 point,if up at all.
He gave it a 7/10 and people lost their minds despite him saying it was a good game, he just had some issues with it.
yeah Nintendo fans lost their minds and doxed his site and stuff.
Its just a clickbait title to illustrate how divisive the game is.
Youre either gonna hate it or youre gonna think its a masterpiece. It's a very uncomprimised experience.
Can't wait to see how this game will stand the test of time, after initial impressions and honeymoon period is over. I don't think I've ever seen such a divisive game.
It's going to top many people's GOTY lists, and it will be in this site's top 10 at the least.
I'm about 5 hours in and loving it so far. I've even managed to eat my dinner during the cut scenes.
So I got to this section.
...almost quit playing over that? Really, Jeff? Christ.
I can definitely see how some people would not enjoy this game, it really was a risky move. Thankfully I'm really enjoying it. Plays like I expected it to after the recent trailers.
Lol
It is actualy unbelievably the reaction peopel have to BB, i tough it has something very bad and it has just that...
To my understanding, Jeff very recently became a father. I can understand why the nature and the context of the BBs would disgust him.
I've watched some YouTube gameplay clips in HDR. It looks wonderfully moody and creepy. Fallen Order comes first but Im weakening.
It'd be weird as he's literally in the game.
I see the meta dropped to 83, oof.
If this isn't a spoiler can someone give me a quick explanation of what exactly a BT is? And DOOMS?

Waiting for my financial advisor (i.e. wife) to give me the okay before taking the plunge, but I'm, like, somehow totally into the idea of a game about walking? Like, idk, I watch a clip from Giantbomb and was just like, "I really, really want to just relax walk."
Well, yeah. Most normal people who play and end up disliking the game will likely have something better to do than complain about it.
I wouldn't say the game is 'relax walking' (it's really damn stressful and difficult at times) but, same, I'm all into games where you have to plan journeys and make deliveries. As someone who's put like 1,000 hours into Sea of Thieves this gen and recently had a huge Euro Truck Simulator 2 obsession recently, Death Stranding is scratching all those same itches. Planning out a journey, making sure you're equipped, having to react to unexpected situations while protecting your cargo...
I get people being a bit meh if they were expecting Metal Gear Solid 6 but, if you've got any interest in these delivery type games, DS feels like a gem so far.
I somehow feel ashamed for being interested in it, though.
Like what you like and be interested in what you want to be.
I don't give a shit what others think of games I like.
Yeesh. I was so hyped for a new untethered IP by Kojima and I got it...but it consists of everything I hate and no longer have the time to be patient with, tedious gameplay loops.
damn shame.
Too bad about Silent Hills :(
Offtopic: Note to self, the prose of Harry Knowles is toxic material and you shouldn't expose it to the populace, unless filtered through Mega 64. That video should've had "don't try it at home" attached somewhere.
My first legit (as in, not self-imposed or "snapped by Thanos") ban since I started using internet forums in 2007, lol.
On topic: I find the overall positivity of the OT encouraging and kinda impressive. I know OTs tend to trend positive and all, but it's clear that traversal mechanics have been executed well enough to be appealing. The actual traversal is what interests me about. this game, more than anything else.
As a side note, comparisons to Spintires: Mudrunners have made me interested in picking up Spintires: Mudrunners

* Bird chirps lol...
Ppl are enjoying it, what a surprise? An 83 meta critic game is dog poo but somehow ppl are still loving it.
DS thread has had some interesting comments but I'll say it's officially the worse review thread I've ever witnessed on the site.
Mudrunners is on Gamespass for PC. I've been eyeballing it too lol
It's true. I've kinda got a thread idea half drafted (for when the craziness calms down) centred around 'if you found yourself loving Death Stranding's delivery/journey planning stuff then you should play these games'. Mudrunners, Sea of Thieves and Euro/American Truck Simulator all high up there for me.
Death Stranding does a ton of unique stuff but the more I play the more I'm finding that it scratches the same itch as a load of other games I already seriously love.
I think sony did good with releasing reviews early. People saw the game and those that didnt like what it was, decided not to buy it. So most people that are playing it now know what it is
So correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've gathered the main gameplay loop is the whole planning out your journey part right? Making decisions on what route to take, how to overcome or avoid obstacles, which items to bring to assist you in that journey.
In which cases there are three things to consider-
1. Is there a large variety of meaningful decisions the player has to make?
2. Are the obstacles varied and Interesting to overcome?
3. Are the environments varied and interesting to look at?

The last 2 yes, the first one you dont need to plan it really because peopel build mail box with tons of itens you can use.
I'm the opposite. Went in cautious after some of the reviews, and I'm absolutely loving it.
And it's only going to get lower if EDGE decides to review it.
