The game mechanics themselves don't respect your time nor patience.

The weird thing is to tease a 3yo game by the lengths of updating profile picture.
I can’t imagine anyone who wanted to play this and didn’t yet

Yeah, its just one of those things that comes off as a power play, like the MLB thing except i actually think MLB was a good get.
This just feel like “we have kojima”

Yes, it's like using the Crash avatar. They bought tons of IPs but they used Crash, MLB and Death Stranding on their social media. Very transparent.

Sony isn't the publisher for the PC version. They can't do anything...

That doesn't matter. There was a big thread saying they block every game from third-party publishers and that's why there is no high-profile releases on GP.
There was another thread this morning saying they blocked Cult of the Lamb, the publisher even had to deny the rumors.
Xbox fans don't know who else to blame. Their arguments are now falling apart with Death Stranding. 505 is a small pub and Death Stranding is Sony IP and yet they didn't block it?

And sony also blocked it from streaming on Nvidia to xbox so if they wanted to block it from gamepass they would. 505 isn’t going to make an enemy out of Sony, they aren’t the MLB lol
Even if by some chance they found a legal loophole in the contract that allowed it, do you realize how bad that would be for their business to go against a platform holder? A lot of people project a weird narrative that sony is being bullied by these small publishers or they’re doing the bullying

Said literally no one. Why do people write this nonsense when it keeps backfiring?
I keep seeing people still saying its crap, not worth your time etc, and yet you see something completely different.
People don't see it as crap because it was console exclusive.
It's just incredibly boring.
Some people are seeing ghosts in here lol.

There are plenty of people that are thinking this and saying it. That’s nonsense. You can argue no one on NeoGaf feels that way, I would disagree, but if you have an opened Twitter and looked at this trending it’s a very organic and non-ethereal ghost. Plenty of people are doing this and acting as if they loved it from the get-go and it had to do with something other than what it actually had to do with. Maybe that’s not your opinion, but it definitely exists. It isn’t only about you.

It would be interesting to know how much Microsoft paid for this, I think we can almost be sure they wanted the latest Kojima game in their service because of the game he's making with them.

I’ve downloaded it on PlayStation but haven’t tried it yet. If it’s on game pass definitely worth a download. No risk.

I guess I'll try the game now. Although tbh I probably still won't if this thing is like 100gigs+ lmao.

Sony is always the enemy. According to them Activision, Ubisoft, 2K, EA and Namco are all terrified of Sony.
505 Games took the GP bag and went to Sony

Imagine having a persecution complex so badly that this is the result. Death Stranding coming to Game Pass is going to result in so many meltdowns if this is anything to go by.

Tell that to the people who were outraged at Sony in your megathread and all the journalists who wrote articles about it. Please be quiet now that we were proven wrong
You again. It's not about Death Stranding joining GP. I don't give a fuck about that. Enjoy the walking simulator.

Fuck yeah, I started it on PS5 but it was a little too slow, will download on PC and play with a trainer.

505 has the publishing rights for the game, they would have signed any hypothetical contract with MS. I reckon the game could have come to PC GP much sooner, there might have been similar timed deals to block it coming to other services. Sony very likely has nothing to do with this, they might have tried but it didn't work. We literally can't say one way or another in this specific example.

Grubb said it was Day 1 on GP but Sony blocked it.

You assume that people on twitter that may find it interesting now on twitter also said it was shit when it wasn't on GP..
Can you show some evidence? Did you look at their post history and saw they hated it before.
Because this is about people who said it was shit before GP and now finds it great only because it hits the service.
It's a bold claim, and I'd like to know how you keep track record on it.
Because not everyone hated it. But the majority did. And still does.

One case not being true (I suppose you are talking about devolver clarifying that Sony didn't pay for Cult of the lamb not being on Gamepass) doesn't mean it didn't happen other times.Tell that to the people who were outraged at Sony in your megathread and all the journalists who wrote articles about it. Please be quiet now that we were proven wrong
In favor of those claims, Microsoft made that public in legal documents. Against those claims there isn't anything more than some games releasing on Gamepass and people showing that as concrete evidence.
How everyone takes one side or the other seems to depend on your favorite plastic box because nobody has enough evidence to claim it is or it isn't happening. Which seems exactly to be your case

People keep coming up with these strawmen, but I never seen anyone say something like this. Are you guys sure you're not just super deep into console war twitter? Don't bring that trash over here pls.

Don’t mix the definitions please. Walk simulators are games like What Remains of Edith Finch or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter or Gone Home.
Death Stranding is a courier simulator.

To all the Death Stranding naysayers out there I say - Just imagine for a second, a game that performs well, has no microtransactions and tries something different.
For anyone who enjoys dedicating a lot of their time to video games, it is your duty to play a few hours of this. You don't have to love it or hate it, you just need to go for a walk with a package or two and reflect on this weird thing that got made. Then afterwards you can return to our bleak existence of the same old games, the same old headlines, the same old exasperated sigh followed by pointing at something and calling it cringe.

People in here are trying way too hard to blame the hate about the game being because it wasn't on xbox, and they are the only one talking positive about the game, in a very negative way.

I remember the discussion on Death Stranding prettty well, and dont think there was any line in the sand between console warriors. It was just a very divisive game that a lot of folks didnt get on with and some people loved it a lot. Like an either you get it or you dont kind of situation.
And the ones who didnt get it were very vocal about it.

I don't own any console and the only good thing i have to say about the game is that the Rick&Morty commercial was great.
