I think the Monster Energy stuff is way worse. Stopped drinking energy drinks after some LAN party where we drank way too much of the stuff. Gave me heart palpitations.

Shit. It's been like four hours since I smoked, but I think Jack Herer just sent me another transmission:

What's more likely to happen in the United States today?
1. A person consumes 6 MONSTERY ENERGY DRINKS in one sitting.
2. A mass shooting.

I can't even venture a guess, man. And it gets even more woah when you ask yourself which of those two acts is a grosser lapse of personal responsibilty.

This shit has me asking real-life questions. Also, soothing the Dead Baby in a Jar sucks and the game has ruined dead babies for me. I'm pro-life now and I plan on voting that way.

I totally forgot this game came out today since I've been in media blackout since the first trailer. Never even remembered to pre-order the physical version lol

Just picked up the digital version, will check it out tonight.

I chug 6 cups pf coffee pretty much daily, so I can relate to drinking 6 cans of Monster energy.  :doge

Coffee isn't on Energy Drinks level dude. Yes, they both have caffeine in them, but Energy Drinks have like 10mg more? And then a shit ton of sugar in them.

Finally got around to watching the Quick Look and Yikes.

The game really is just a walking simulator with inventory management and dialogue that is in general just a bit too long.
Kojima wasn't lying when he said it was a new genre. Also it's the usual Kojima nonsense but this time the tent poles of the (cold) war and AI are gone so he can just focus on Norman Reedus' bodily fluids.
But again, like Sutherland in MGS5 the main character hardly speaks which is weird as these people talk at him at length.

I can see this being 'fun' for 2 to 3 hours but at 10 or 20 hours in you'll probably start to rethink your choices in life.
Such as, do I want my virtual Norman Reedus to piss sitting or standing and what does it say about me as a person.

Maybe it will rank well if you really liked the shitty and boring chapter 3. The key word when describing the gameplay is boring. I accidentally mistyped “gameplay” as “tameplay” at first there and that may be an accurate description. The elderly could play this without blood pressure worries.

Sitting, it's better for the bladder and lets you unload your load before reloading your load to walking sim more. :doge

You and me both. Though I didn't hate MGS4 aside from I think it was chapter 3 (the one where you meet up with Eva), I was not down with how anime the cutscenes got. And yes I was slobbering all over how codec and cutscene heavy MGS2 was. I mainly thought MGS4 was the weakest of the Solid series up to that point. Haven't played 5 yet actually, so yeah.

I'm back in cutscene land and according to the summary at the end of the last playable section I had 7:27 seconds of game played. On the up side I've seen almost everything from all the old trailers.

It's been almost an hour since I started.

Gotta love the explanation for why everyone appears to be "crying".

I don't know about how well this engine lends itself to modability or anything but the PC version of this could turn out to be very interesting depending on what people can get their hands on. I could see like a year from now a bunch of websites doing "the PC version of Death Stranding has become totally crazy" articles. And Giant Bomb doing a video where Jeff is loving it all.
