You enjoyed the walking parts or the 2 hour cutscenes more?

Maybe they're iOS players and privacy/crossplay settings don't allow others to see their usernames? I've not come across it when I played. I did build a lot of bridge links with PSN people though so iOS users might not be appearing as much.

Great game. I liked every game Hideo did and I shouldn't have doubted this one. But I did, which however, caused me to pick it up for just 25 bucks 2 months after launch.
Its not for everyone, but it has all the Hideo Kojima traits. Enemies are weak to the MC's DNA. So yeah, pissing actually works. The traversal is the highlight for me. You'll struggle, and you'll get there. Then over time, by also raiding camps and looting minerals, the world gets infrastructure more and more you start it up. That struggle becomes an easy ride.

Yeah because before that moment the writing before was chef kiss
Smoothie brain was paying full price and playing this turd for 40 hours because i thought kojima still had something in him.
Boy i was wrong.
P.s. don't waste your time trying to explain why the game is so great, i had enough back and forth in the past about this game
This is why i love differing tastes. Or the sheer chaos that life influencing art and taste of it can be completely different based on many factors.
I think its a masterpiece. You think it's absolute shite.
Both are correct.

I exagerate for entartainment purpose, i also call sp2 a turd but they are both decent 6\10 games.
I still played for 40 hours because i was curious to know what was the carrot at the end between the story and gameplay, it ends up they were both the stick

Ok. I just want to add. I finished the game last night......
...I did not expect that ending to take what felt like 3 hours with 0 saves and pure info dump.
All in all a pretty good performance from the actors. Outside of a pretty terrible script.
I deffo feel like I enjoyed the game over the cutscenes. The game and the world etc. That ending kind of reminded me how awful the writing can be.
I still think the game is incredible and personally a 10/10 with its flaws to me. The game hasn't changed in it's opinion, that I hold of it. Just that, wooooof some of the writing and cutscenes are too much.
I'm still going back in to 5 star all people. So yeah.
Incredible game. Pure Kojima farts of the highest grade known to man.

This is not a walking simulator at all.
Walking is a big part of it, but you can't sell this game to people who want a slow and atmospheric (story driven) game without any enemies or action. You know, like a walking simulator.

What time did you start the ending? I spent half the night up watching it after the final boss fight.

Luckily I started it at around 6pm. My poor daughter wanted to watch trash youtube but instead had to watch hours of Kojima farts.
Was worth it.

Lmao, so can she comprehend any of it or are you just dad wafting complete nonsense?
To be clear, I don't think we can conclude how much nonsense it is yet. Not until we get more answers from DS2. It feels like a much larger universe was created, much like MGS or the Halo series where the first game is a drop in the bucket.

It's an anti-Kojima Kojima game. Story was incomprehensible nonsense that failed to live up to his MGS1-3 standards, but the gameplay was surprisingly top tier. Normally people complain that Kojima games don't have enough gameplay, then this came along and now it had too much gameplay. Granted, there were a lot of repetitive package deliveries, but the social aspects and the meta-game of improving your delivery route efficiency via roads and ziplines was extremely cool, a lot like the base building in MGSV. Sunk 50 hours into it and do not regret it one bit.
Forget the rest of the soundtrack too, downing Monster Energy and Timefall Porter to this banger in the private room was my jam:

Yeah the script and pacing really isn't good, but the overall story still remains interesting.
I love dunkey's spoiler review of the game which isn't 100% correct.

I think she gets some of it but clueless about the far out stuff. Maybe one day she will enjoy some more interesting things thanks to kojimas farts.
I think once I read all the interviews and emails and played the game I understand the world that's been built. Can't wait for ds2.
Amazing review. Some good points but for me....I don't even think about the mediocre combat or plot holes etc becuase I was just genuinely in enjoyment everything I played. The mechanics just clicked for me. I guess I enjoyed the ways in which the game let me play instead of ever thinking "I wish I could do this" I don't knowmif that makes sense, but anyway. Games amazing. Deffo a lot of kojima waffle but the core gameplay was amazing for me.

I just beat the game. Might be the worst ending to anything I’ve ever watched or played. Kojima needs an editor. He really is in love with words and having his characters saying the same thing for hours and hours. The “gameplay” eventually grew on me. It didn’t hurt that I was playing on my Portal, so I was able to be entertained by my tv while playing this on the handheld.
The story was absolute dog shit. Had it not been for the 8 hour ending after the credits rolled for the 1st of 8 times total, I might have scored the game higher. The highs don’t make up for the really bad lows.
5/10
I do wonder though, did Kojima purposely have 8 different credit rolls, just so he could see his name that many times?
