Whoa...I agree but whoa still cuz prime 😮
It's absolutely a compliment to Days Gone.
But also, the Death Stranding ending was such a fucking bore. I'm impressed that I managed to sit though it. I rolled my eyes a good few times as characters started to repeat the same thing again and again.
Could you imagine Days Gone as if written by Kojima?
The final boss fight would take place in Saint John Church, where as Deacon is about to kill the final boss, that boss would interrupt with a two hour cutscene to explain to Deacon that his parents named him after John, a man who was obsessed with revenge and murder much like Deacon, but they also gave him the name Saint because they wanted him to be different (there'd be a portion of the cutscene here where the boss, bloodied and beaten, would write Saint in the dirt and explain the English meaning of the word alongside a brief history because
everything is connected).
Deacon would come to the realization that his entire character arc is premised solely around his name, and having no other room for nuance in his entire arc, would spare the boss in accordance with the name his prophetic parents bestowed on him.
Then near the end, Boozer would arrive and make sure to repeat much of that again to Deacon, to really make sure he understood everything he spent the last two hours listening to. Just incase Deacon dozed off for a second or two in the middle.
Brilliant. Bravo! I regret my words and deeds regarding Deacon's name.
