Yeah, I noticed that the games that blew me away the most were the ones I knew basically nothing about. Hell I bought Bloodborne thinking it was a Devil May Cry clone.

Kojima would like you to go into Death Stranding blind, TGS footage is for people that aren't convinced

Sorry Kojima, but I'm gonna watch the footage when I can. Despite playing all of the mainline MGS games for at least a few hours each, the only output of Kojima's I've truly loved from a gameplay perspective have been MGSV and P.T. (I understood the quality of the others, but they just weren't for me). As such, while I have immense respect for the man and his craft, it's not enough to automatically override my gameplay reservations. I need to see for myself if this will be something I'll actually enjoy playing.
Because some of the greatest games are more special when you explore and discover how the mechanics work.
Imagine watching Papers Please, Witness, Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, etc for an hour straight instead of experiencing the gameplay first hand?
I havent trusted him since he pulled the bullshit raiden move.
mgsv was a big fuck u as well.
i will tune in tomorrow to watch.

Lol I already preordered the deluxe edition on PSN. I'll always trust Kojima, but it's gonna be pretty difficult for me not to watch this. I can't contain myself any longer.
funny, because, even though i don't trust him, seeing that the game's only 2 months away, i'm also not watching...
lol.... Come on, a lot of Death Stranding is still a big mystery. It's not hard to understand what he means.
I actually really like this approach. Creators contextualizing further footage of their game (or any medium, really) is a great way to help people avoid spoilers if they're already sold.
I was super hyped by the trailers so far, but the "gameplay" he showed off at Gamescom really made me worry about the game, so I definitely need to watch this gameplay.
I'll have no problem not watching it as it's on really early in the UK and I'll be too busy.....coming on here to see all the reactions after will be a lot harder,lol.
I dont get all this grandstanding on his part. If he feels that this is a game changer in terms of how genres are defined then why not actually show it in action rather than talk about it in a super vague manner for months on end only to end up here. And I do not see how they need to show off 80 mins of footage (Which will invariably end having a good chunk of story content as well) to showcase how the moment to moment gameplay and systems work. This just feels vain.
Indeed. People have a right to know what they're spending hard earned money on. Trust? Trust is for children.
Give me that 49 minute deep dive. I want to see Kojima's words and deeds for myself.
Kojima tomorrow after the video:
I know what mean because I never watch 40 minutes before I buy a game. But I don't see the problem of showing a bit of interesting things you'll be doing, IE not peeing and walking up a mountain towards geoff keighley

OT is here, check the timers in the second post, it's 12 hours from now
Yeah nah I'm watching. I dont have blind faith in anyone and have not been convinced yet of what I've seen
I'm sceptical (and have been burned by previous showings) to the point where I'm not watching it because I'm not convinced it'll be a good use of 40 mins of my time!
(I'll probably watch it on Youtube later so I can scrub past all the drawn-out self-indulgent bits)

I just don't see the issue of showing a bit of what we've already seen in a natural gameplay footage.
