I'm playing through the first right now (first time) and man it's such a weird game. It basically spends the first 20 hours frustrating the player, and after that, starts giving you tools that make traversal easier.
I'm enjoying it more now but honestly it could use a ton of streamlining. The story is the interesting part, and what keeps me going.

The first time I went up a mountain and had to fight a bunch of black blobs and found it super frustrating I put the game down and never came back.
Am I just retarded? Does the game actually get good or is it just an hours-long exercise in frustration? I want to like it and be hyped for DS2 but .. as of yet, I am not compelled.

I'm trying the first for the second time, I'm enjoying it more now. Taking a more simulator approach is what works.
Story is still God awful, Kojima's heavy handed approach to writing doesn't work. So much shit is stupid and I'm supposed to take it seriously. I wish I could throw BB off a cliff.

Yes, but I am hoping there is also a pure eye-candy 30 FPS mode on Pro (in addition to the 60 FPS mode) that ups the visual fidelity even more.

Watch Death Stranding 2 turning into a huge surprise hit next year and Sony completely oblivious on why shows like these actually work, even though they used to be masters at making them.
Kojima is at least giving us old school presentations of his stuff instead of 30 minute presentations with 20 games for the tiktok generation with an attention span of 10 secs per video.

I try some games at different times because maybe the gaming mood I was in at a particular time made me not like it. Like right now, I have serious Souls/souls-like fatigue. Do playing a game like them would probably not be a good fit.
The story in Death Stranding seemed interesting/crazy. But I just couldn't stick with the super boring gameplay. I got what I'd assume is maybe halfway the last time I tried, but the game failed at keeping me interested.
I'm willing to look past a bad first entry to a series, if the sequel is good. Assassin's Creed comes to mind.

Oh I really sound like an asshole in that post. I'm sorry for that one.
I get what you are saying. Halfway is pretty far if the game bored you.
I liked the game a lot, especially in later parts when you get real meaningful upgrades.
Can't wait for the sequel. It looks stunning too.

It's all good. I give every game an honest shot, if I'm interested. Some (usually first party games) I give multiple chances.

Fingers crossed for a spring release date announcement.
