if hideo kojima hasn't earned a sight unseen purchase in this godforsaken business then i just don't know any more..

Again: He is showing 49 minutes of it. And 2 days later 30 minutes. It's not hard to understand what he means.
Wanna get spoiled and not suprised at launch? Watch it. Wanna go in almost blind and get suprised by the gameplay mechanics & the story, don't watch it.
Um, the point is to get you intrigued and hook on the general vibe of the game, as any good trailer does. You don't need the literal plot explained to you to get excited for a film. Nolan rarely releases trailers like that until the film is basically out, he sells you on a film based on his name and a general concept. JJ is also pretty good at this. The idea is to be sold on the experience, not completely revealed what everything is about.
But buying a game completely blind based on your faith in a person is fucking dumb sooo...
Other: I don't trust Kojima but I also don't like watching a ton of gameplay for games I'm planning on playing at some point, especially if they're marked as spoilery
Well sure. He'll be showing the game tomorrow so I can say we'll see what this is all about. At least he is confident enough to finally show it
What ppl who say he hasn't shown gameplay want to see more of but afraid to admit it
What heavily invested fans of Kojima are secretly afraid the game mostly consists of:
When the guy hasn't played a single Kojima game ..😂What heavily invested fans of Kojima are secretly afraid the game mostly consists of:
Me I'm the guy
This man created my favorite franchise of all time so of course I trust him. I'm already sold on Death Stranding but I'll likely at least watch a bit of this.
Not fussed about seeing gameplay I will play the game when I want to once released and come to my own conclusion. Not really a fan of Kojima, usually has great gameplay but far too pastiche everywhere else. This appears to be different and my kind of nerd stuff so I'm looking forward to it.
Ok.....
If Kojima says not to watch it, then fuck it, I trust him.
I was going to, but now I won't.

Trusted Kojima for decades.
Will watch the footage anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nevermind. Got work in the morning.
There are gonna be a LOT of hot takes once the demo is out if the last thread was any indication so ..... yea still gonna watch so that I can be informed and can correctly refute them. 👍
Let's see if I can stand watching it for 80 minutes to be still confused what's happening in that game.
If you're still impressed don't forget to clap for 8 minutes.
Personally I already perceived this as AAA walking simulator since December. I find that in of itself already interesting because I've been frustrated with how Adventure games that used to be cutting edge in their own ways in the 80s have been much more like budget titles in modern times. So this will be the first adventure-esque game in decades to potentially offer an immersive story driven experience while pushing technical production boundaries.
When it comes to the gameplay the only thing Death Stranding needs to do is avoid boring interaction or tedious repetition.
I'm going to watch it because I want to see if it has elements that make it look like it could be a good speedrunning game and if it does it will be more than I could hope for already.
To me the biggest draw for this game is how well Kojima's work holds up after being critically analyzed after more than a year has passed on most of his games' release dates. There is zero risk of having his message and story prematurely spoiled in this demo.
After MGS2 and MGSV, I don't trust Kojima's trailers anyway (for different reasons) so yeah, I'm not gonna bother.
Will definitely follow the fanatical reactions however.

Yeah, I need to see something. Not that I think it'll be bad, but I haven't been hyped by anything we've seen so far, closest I got was the ridiculous motorbike and world war 2 shooter bits. Couldn't care less which big name actors/celebs are in it.
I think he probably just sees uncovering what this 'new' genre is as part of the experience. Maybe you can direct enemies away from you and towards a different player in their instance - I could see novel ideas like that being more impactful if they aren't just shown to you.
It's not that I have full trust in him and Death Stranding, it's that I have a complete lack of trust in him to not ruin the entire game with the insane amount of pre-release footage and cutscenes he likes to show. I'm not watching shit and I'll be there day 1
I will watch some segments, I don't think that Kojima deserves my trust like other developers do, his last two games (MGS IV and MGS V) were not that great and what they have showed of Death Stranding (gameplay, not cinematics) was not good enough, so I expect to at least know what to expect watching the demos.
