Damn you seem to feel pretty strongly about a game you haven’t played yet, based on only the information they related in thier reviews.
May this person gag on the force of Ubisoft's towers, loot crates, microtransactions and copy paste game worlds for the rest of his days.

These all over the place scores just makes me really want to play the game. And I was pretty indifferent up until now.

There is context. You are missing it.
Not everyone can be fortunate to understand greatness.

How about you ignoring the rest of other scores and doing aspull conclusion over all other games?
Lets start with that one

I honestly don’t find it that negative, and the one posted just up above seems much more negative. (Post 65) since iOS 13 wont let me quote for some reason.
If they don’t enjoy the gameplay why are they going to suffer through it to get to the next story point? and if they all are playing on easy how annoying is it going to be for the average player who starts on normal?
Should reviewers stop posting thier actual feelings about a game because someone might be offended by them?

Thinking a game might not be shit because it has mixed reviews means you're a fanboy? How's 5th grade, champ?

84 is a good score, although below Kojima’s usual standards. Game looks interesting at the very least. I’d rather play this than open world looter shooter #48437.
The more I hear about the Chiral Network the more I feel like it's truly the heart of the game. Especially in tandem with the themes of isolation and the challenge that comes with traversal. It seems to evoke a sense of shared sentimentality and connection between players like no other game out there currently, and that's rather fascinating. I think that speaks volumes to what games can uniquely achieve and speaks to our human experiences.
Come on folks, please don't shit up the thread with pointless childish system wars bullshit....

IGN’s review has more thumbs down than thumbs up. Probably mainly 12 year olds who can’t handle that someone doesn’t like a game.

The day I trust game reviewers will be the day I enter a lunatic asylum. "Something something" Red Dead 2 getting 10's everywhere when the core (pun intended) gameplay is a complete irredeemable pile of steaming clunky shit. End of. These idiots have a herd like mentality & go with the least controversial opinion so they don't ruffle anyone's feathers (namely game studios).
Let's see how this one plays out & how the real audience that matters (aka the paying customer) reacts to this "game" when weeks & months go by & dilute the hype, i.e. leaving nothing but the actual product to judge. jeuxvideo.com just gave this thing a 19/20 & I don't trust them either. I'll surmise my distrust of game reviewers like this: far too many focus on words like "experience" & "feelings" & "emotion" when judging the merits of a video game, i.e. elements heavily influenced by the environment they test it in & the frame of mind of a reviewer (basically like watching a movie with friends whilst having a fun night out = "best movie ever"). All when the average dude sitting by himself playing on his ps4 expecting a tight, well balanced game with good mechanics etc. is left scratching his head thinking "wtf am I missing here?".

The Last of Us Part II will likely be Game of the Generation, just like it’s predecessor was.

Woah there dude.
You think the average player cares about a tight, well balanced game with good mechanics?
Most of these fuckers play FIFA 90% of the time.
A lot of reviewers are people who play games too. Some people happen to like certain games and others don't.
I personally didn't enjoy RDR2 (I don't enjoy western settings in TV/Film either) but I'm not going to say those who like it are wrong. You do you.
Personally I like to play games that I like the look of and think might be interesting for whatever reason. I won't ever let other people decide that for me. As an example I haven't played Spiderman yet because it looks as cookie cutter as they come. I already have a swath of unfinished design by committee open world games I can go and play without needing to spend more money.

I agree, I very rarely agree with reviewers, but I think the sales of this game are going to be even less then reviewers expect.
It’s going deep on sale for Black Friday.
The only other (big game) I can see it performing close to is Control.

That is more indicative of the worth of people reviewing games than anything else.

Seems like a "you get out what you put in" type of game, and those are generally very divisive. Sounds like the game goes out of its own way to be slow, repetitive, and lack flashy set pieces, which is the opposite of what people would expect from such a hyped-up AAA game.
I'm down for it, to be honest. I enjoy fast, flashy games that serve up instant gratification by the truck load as much as anyone else, but I can appreciate an experience that slows things down too, so long as the world itself is detailed and interesting enough to draw me in.

Wow mixed reviews with some very high scores! Actually better than I was expecting.
Easy Allies review of 8/10 gives me enough confidence to buy this game now. Have my money Kojesus!

I don’t think I’ve ever said anything about Gears 5, but way to bring that in, off topic somehow.
Tell me again how it relates to Death Stranding?

In general, I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to be able to trust game reviews, not that I ever let them decide for me anyway. I’ve seen so many movie and tv show reviews the past couple years driven by sociopolitical agendas, I just trust publications less and less anymore.
I have a few youtubers who I trust more than anyone and even though I’ll disagree with them often, I know they’re never gonna push any kind of agenda, they’ll tell it like they see it and that’s all I want in a reviewer. Reviewers who don’t care if they’re the only person in the world who dislikes a game if they mean it and can back it up with examples.

This is reviewing like marmite.
It's as if hideo kojima took the term "walking simulator" to literally.

Nobody cares what you think here everyone already knows youre an xbox astroturfer
Your opinion regarding death stranding or the last of us II are meaningless and doesnt have any weight or significance at all since we already knew you always have ulterior motives against playstation game in general

What right do we filthy gaijin have to judge a pure Japanese work of high octane "let er' rip" art? I'm not qualified to pass judgement on top tier Nippongo Bongo. Instead I'll acknowledge my fate as an inferior form of human. I couldn't breathe the same air as someone like Kojima.
