it's um... imagine kingdom hearts but more funny. and the choice you have is so basic and laughable.
That BB shit is fucking next level out for me. Wow, just killing babies after a year....WTF? and this is seen as ok?

aren't you given the choice to shoot or not shoot someone?
that's not the ending and it's not a choice lol. the game forces you to restart if you don't make the one that progresses the story to the actual ending.
but i do understand that you've decided This Is A Bad Game without playing it, and I don't think i'm going to say anything that will convince you otherwise, so fair play
nope! the way the game is presented and framed it's made very very clear that it's not OK and not acceptable, despite the fact that it's normalized in this world.
what choice? there isn't a choice in the ending?
Is the game about abortion though if you've played through it.
What is the meaning and theme to the BBs.
I beat the game and yeah I absolutely think it works in contextI mean Kojima struggles to handle regular topics normally, there is no way he could have handled this.
On the BBs.
They are killed after a year. You say this is normalized and somehow that's ok? Rather than give the BBs a shot at surviving after the fact they just kill them in a year. Sam is the first one that was given a shot because his dad took him out. All the sudden they realize that maybe they should have been doing that from the beginning rather than just killing off babies????
This is essentially the Matrix harvesting humans but instead its humans harvesting babies and murdering them after a year rather than give them a shot? I mean seriously you think anyone could try and make that story palatable and that person is Kojima?
oh sorry, i thought that was it, i just saw the video posted on discord. it's late now, i'll try and watch the cutscenes tomorrow to make more sense of it.that's not the ending and it's not a choice lol. the game forces you to restart if you don't make the one that progresses the story to the actual ending.

welp, just looked at the embargo details and I can't actually talk about the ending in detail until Monday, which fucking sucks

doesn't make much sense to me either! and the review agreement literally says even though the game is already out you need to be considerate of the community and this other nonsense.
doesn't mean I can talk about its specifics, unfortunately!

thanks :)
Ah nice. I'm sure it won't feel like as much though due to way more gameplay in the open world instead of the linear romp MGS4 was
yeah they're much more spread out and the average length of each scene is shorter.Ah nice. I'm sure it won't feel like as much though due to way more gameplay in the open world instead of the linear romp MGS4 was

i do think this game is uniquely ill-fitted to the "watching cutscenes on YouTube" format but in general it's a terrible way to consume the story of games
i mean, cool if you really think that. i think it's a totally second-rate way to experience a game storyThe ending is one hour long....its perfect to watch on the internet.
I don't take issue or offense by what the story of the BBs actually is. My issue is that it just sucks. Plain and simple, all of this is wack.
The story to this game resembles something a 14-year-old who thought he had insightful thoughts would come up with.
I'd say the MGS series had a way more interesting overarching story, especially the second game. On top of that, they're fun to play. I don't see the fun in playing or experiencing the story Death Stranding has to offer.

So BB's are essentially babies taken from the wombs of mothers who are braindead (Stillmothers). The Stillmothers are kept physically alive but brain dead in the capital city. The mother's must be kept alive for the BB's to have a connection and see the BTs.
For "reasons", these BB's are put in the container which convinces the BB's they are in the mother's womb. BB's can sense the BT's. You connect to the BB so that you can sense the BT's as well. The BB's get stressed and think that they aren't in the womb and thus you have to calm them. If they get too stressed you have to go to the private room and connect them to an incubator. The incubator resets the mixture in the container and convinces the BBs that they are back in the mother. They use Oxytocin to pacify the BBs.
The BB's are just "equipment", you are told not to get attached and they are gotten rid of after a year because that is the only length of time that they can sense the BTs. They cannot survive outside of the container. You are trying to recover the past to see if you can change that.
so death stranding is a mess huh? i'll pass on this and wait till it hits the bargain bin then what a shame
