Jim Sterling's Death Stranding "Jimpressions"

I'm personally glad I watched Jim's video and I enjoyed it very much.
It made it even more clear that DS isn't for me.

I don't always agree with Jim.
But this time I do. The minute to minute gameplay doesnt look fun at all.
I will probably just watch the scenes later.

How would you communicate it then?
My current impression is: Breath of the Wild but with added micro-systems on top (inventory management, gear management) + fetch quest focus. (I played over 100 hours of BOTW but I would never do that again knowing the type of non-enjoyment I got out of it)
I want to be proven wrong because the art and lore fascinates me. Please help.
Why don't you just return the game? Lol you say it's still wrapped
It is just so very satisfying to plan a delivery and pull it off perfectly. The first few missions are tough going as you don't have much gear, but the game soon begins throwing new tools at you.
I'll just repost what I just wrote in the OT, this game is something special.
From what I can gather, the place that I bought it from doesn't accept returns
This is not a game you can communicate via gameplay videos, and it's not a game other people can tell you if you'll enjoy (even if they've aligned with you before) imo.
I would risk playing it, honestly. It's unique enough that you really do not know if it will grab you unless you try, and it's probably going to be best played now while all the social aspects are active.
Thanks for the time to share. I appreciate your mini review but it still doesn't sound like the type of experience I would usually enjoy from videogames, this in particular:
"I wouldn't be able to explain how satisfying it is to select a loadout, plan a route, and execute a perfect delivery without sounding a little insane. I mean, how can a game that is mostly comprised of fetch quests and balancing your load be this damn engaging? "
I will some months and research again.
Video reassured my decision to cancel the pre order I had.
This type of game just isnt for me at all. I can appreciate others may love it but this style of gameplay does jot appeal to me on top of kot being a kojima fan.

If it's still sealed then they should accept it. Just say that someone else already got you a copy.
What is the greatest game this year for you? Just to see how far away we really are.
it's not more repetitive than most games where you level up, collect and build stuff. It has deep mechanics and introduces new ones frequently. At least for me there is a great sense of progress all the time that motivates me to do the next thing, build the next road or help out other players or level up another encampment to get that next sweet upgrade.
And then there is the meta gameplay where you connect to other players. And the interesting game world, characters and story.
i have bought and returned this game six times can someone just please tell me if i can finally open it?
People should check out the OT of they are on the fence. It's hugely positive in there.
I keep going back and forward on it but it's definitely worth experiencing in my opinion. It's a pretty great game

why did you play it for ONE HUNDRED hours if you didn't enjoy it
when you think about it I've probably eaten vegetables for more than 100 hours in my life. is there a vegetable message board to which i can post my disappointments?

"The game is annoying and when it's not it's boring "
All the micromanagement and little sybsystems is why I hate most modern games out there and prefer to play BotW with cheats on CEMU than originally intended, "boot/cargo degradation", "constant need to balance protagonist" WTF? I'll get the game on a Steam sale and mod the shit out of it. I doubt you're missing anything by skipping the annoying stuff or compromising Hideo ~Lord Sama~ Kojima's original vision.

It's a VERY different vibe in the OT thread where people are actually playing it and enjoying it for the most part.
Tons of negativity in this thread though.
I enjoyed Jim's video. It gives a fare warning about the contents and mechanics of the game while not depreciating it. I will definitely pick it eventually on the PC.
No shit, people interested in this kind of experiences are buying it, people that are not attracted to this kind of games are keeping their money.
MC users are review bombing by giving it mostly zeros, most don't have any previous reviews and those that do seem to show a serious bias.
The 7/10 is a joke and he basically shit on the game. Did you actually watch the video?
Dude the 7 out of 10 stuff is a joke.
Jimpressions don't have scores
They are impressions, not reviews
His review sounds on point. I think gamers miss the point of gams some times. They're supposed to be fun based on your inputs. The game can be the most boring, garbage ever with the worst gameplay ever conceded and have an amazing story. It would still be a terrible game.
People have been very vocal on how they hate fetch quests, this comes along and is fetch quest the game.

The point was those actually playing it are enjoying it for the most part. Then there's folks in this thread who are mostly getting caught up in the negativity of the thoughts of others and making their judgement without any first hand experience.
Whatever floats your boat I guess.
I'm with you pal. I don't find Dota 2 much fun either so we may as well remove that one too. The people playing it really do miss the point of games lol.
In an ideal world everyone would be able to play the game before purchasing.
We don't live in said world and you can't ask people to spend 60 dollars just to confirm that they don't like what they think they don't like.
No, the game can be fun to peopel, just because you dont like it dont call the game boring to everyone, especealy when you haven't even play the game.
There is close to 0 management, the boots take a long time until you need to remove, the game auto manages alone and unless you carying more that you need, you actualy never need to press L2/R2.
The game has other problemns, but mycro systems is not one of them.
I'm not sure where all that came from but you don't need to spend any money to view something with an honest open mind.
But it's all good. Like I said, whatever floats your boat.
I feel the same way. Everything i hear about this game is stuff I fucking hate in games, lol.
To each their own though , that why all types of games exist.
You are the only one missing the point here. You may not have fun playing it but others do.
I was thinking about this as well, but then
- I'd take out degrading shoes, because it sucks
- I'd take out the encumbrance system, because people hated this since TES
- I'd take out degradation through rain, because bleh
- I'd take out carry limits for ladders or ropes or whatever so I can traverse in peace
- I'd make my grenades stronger since all fights are basically endurance runs on how long you can throw those things and how many you produced beforehand
- I'd make the baby not goddamn scream all the time
- I'd try to remove general time sinks, limiting systems and inventory management stuff, as ppl do in most games.
Now, what actual game is left there? Just pressing up to go from A to B to C and back to A again?
I feel this game is trying to make all these degradement systems, encumbrance and inconvenience scales the actual game (which is why I won't play it I guess), so I'm not sure if removing these would actually make the game itself better, or just more boring.
I would have to agree. Seems boring from every video I've watched. Pressed new game and after 18h I finally shut it down cause I've to sleep. Game is amazing? Not a single minute I felt bored. So far (chapter4) tons of new mechanics still being added
And wtf is this boots degrading talk? It takes a long time to degrade and boots are cheap af u can fill a truck with it if you want.
