You're an immortal delivery guy who throws pissjugs at ghosts that tries to interrupt your hard work which is paid for in facebook likes.

I really wanted to like the game. Played it for a good 4 hours.

Just couldn't get into it, felt weird for the sake of weird and boring. But I know, Kojima is god or whatever on Reddit. I'll take my downvotes now.

For the record I liked MGS5.

Yeah Kojima can definitely go off the deep end. The guy hates the box so much he'll do whatever to stay out of it. Tbf I remember everyone said the plot to MGS2 was nonsensical and too hard to follow, turns out the plot was just 20 years too early.

I’m a huge kojima fan, didn’t get anything from Death Standing. It was insanely pretentious. Plus the gameplay was just boring. All of the dialogue made me cringe.

Which is sad because I was really excited for it after the trailers. All of that weirdness would have been cool if it really mattered at all and had interesting gameplay to keep you hooked. But it doesn’t.

I played maybe 4 hours, doing fetch quest didn't work for me.

I'm glad I'm not the only person thinking it was made really weird because it sucked otherwise.

Digital urban exploring cutscene game with balance challenges and weird baby to babysit.

And its epic.

So you watch cutscenes and mash a button when it flashes really big on the screen?

shiftingbee t1_ivnxnvk wrote

No, you also walk a lot, drive a lot, build infrastructure with other players you can't see but can sometimes hear them scream around you a lot. And then you mash the button and watch a lot of cutscenes.

Imagine the pandemic happened and all the internet got shut off. Jeff bridges (or whatever his name is) is the local GrubHub driver and has to go reconnect all the telephone poles while bringing people their Amazon shit.

You’re an on foot delivery man. And you have a baby. Ghosts exist.

Walking simulator

Calling DS a walking sim is like calling COD a shooting sim.

Not a summary, but great analysis on the deeper ideas in the game by one of my favorite YouTubers (warning: spoilers in video) https://youtu.be/pHQcK2TrH7s

The core theme of the game is about building connections and bridges (both metaphorical and literal).

Scientists flew too close to the sun and broke the afterlife. Now when anybody dies they turn into a nuclear bomb, and there's a bunch of invisible ghosts stuck wandering around and they want to drown you in crude oil. You are an immortal mailman and one of the few people with the correct skill-set to potentially re-connect society before it's too late by installing a new version of the internet across America.
