    or you play death stranding. at all. ever.

    those cutscenes are unbearable.

    All 46 thousand hours of them.

      Yeah the writing is atrocious. Kojima has sniffed his own farts too much. And I’m saying this as a big Metal Gear Solid fan. At least for MGSV he didn’t have enough money to have Keifer Sutherland rambling for hours on end. So the cutscenes were bearable. But DS takes it to the next level. It’s weird that all these Hollywood actors and even Guillermo del Toro were fine recording those lines and didn’t tell Kojima that it’s not how people in film talk.

    Ultrakill made me appreciate instant respawns and notice the downtime that certain games give you when travelling back to the boss arena like Dark Souls.

        That fight took me so long back then 😭

        I replayed KH recently, and beat the optional bosses, and finally figured out the gummi ship system-- they could make a standalone game out of that, it’s crazy how neat it is for something that’s so optional.

    Too late…friends. Nefarius’ corruption has taken hold. I cannot…control myself. I beg you Mortals, flee! Flee before I lose all sense of control. The Black Fire rages within my heart. I must release it! FLAME! DEATH! DESTRUCTION! COWER MORTALS BEFORE THE WRATH OF LORD…NO! I MUST FIGHT THIS! ALEXSTRASZA, HELP ME! I MUST FIGHT!"

    I don’t even know how often I heard this stupid speech, I know it by heart almost two decades later. I think it took us 2 months of trying, 3-4 times a week for at least 6 hours a day. Good times.
