some guy with a baby, carrying a house on his back while running away on bikes from WW1 ghost soldiers with red eyes/skeletal appearance.
You make it sounds like actual game.

"World" looks like randomly generated planet from the first Mass Effect.
And the gameplay is like driving Mako, except you're on foot, and there is a stack of jenga on your back.

GamesRadar:

"After all the conspiracy theories and hype, Death Stranding turns out to be about carrying boxes from A to B and often back again. That's it. That's the game."
"the biggest threat in the game is not the enemies or supernatural beings, it's falling over"
"no real 'holy shit' moments, no big surprises in the story, just an okish game about long walks at the end of the world"
"... having played 70 odd hours of possibly the most expensive interactive music video ever made."

Good job, Kojimbo! :D

Kojima and his team is the only ones worth a damn in AAA space. If you disagree you are a literal retard
This is the video game equivalent of passionately arguing The Simpsons is still a great show, and refusing to acknowledge the decade of decline. It used to be good. Its no longer good. We aren't retards for noticing. Wake the fuck up.

To fangirl for someone as disconnected and generally as unable to produce a game with decent gameplay as Jokima seems more like literal, clinical-grade retardation to me.

What, so MGS has been getting worse has it. So the first one was the best while the last one the worst. Right.

Or maybe "decline" is one of those things that mean the opposite in Bulgaria?

Yeah the reviews will likely be all over the place with an artsy game like this.
Nah, you just have to check who wrote each review and it will be clear.

Except Kojima was never good.

Would you agree that your body declines as you get old? Yet it doesn't decline from being a baby to being an adult. So it must not decline! What retarded logic. It declines from a highpoint in the past (which isn't necessarily the first ever recorded point), to a low point today. And yes, the last Metal Gear game was shit. It was unfinished, repetitive, ran bad, came out late, and just wasn't as good as previous installments.
In addition, it has to be mentioned that dismissing my post because of a country listed on my profile is the height of faggotry, and you should recycle yourself into leather, glue and fertilizer, so that we can better use your building blocks.

Disagree. His games were always a mix of good and bad ideas, but for several years the good outweight the bad. He innovated more small mechanics and meta stuff in the limited genre he worked in than any other single person in that time period.
And he still innovates plenty, the issue is his innovations are shit now. He ran out of good ideas, and he is scraping the barrel and publishing stuff he probably already thought of and dismissed in his golden years. We are living through B-side Kojima, like Michael Jackson dying and Sony Music publishing an album MJ thought wasn't good enough to be published; except this time for some clown world reason Konami refused to publish his shit and he went solo to publish it himself.

"The actors spend most of their time valiantly wading through a tar pit of exposition that somehow does little to advance your understanding or flesh out their strikingly designed characters. (In fact, this game is so obsessed with exposition that it continues through, and then past, the end credits. The entire hours-long final act of the game is so overblown, it's a scarcely believable display of hubris.)" -Eurogamer

To fangirl for someone as disconnected and generally as unable to produce a game with decent gameplay as Jokima seems more like literal, clinical-grade retardation to me.

Name another AAA developer that tries to make something unique gameplay wise and story wise

So you feel like just trying, continually failing, time and time again, but still TRYING is enough for high praise?

Yes, its enough. Failing is a cintrovesrial point. For all the shortcomings MGS 5 had, it still was a good game.
With mods its one of the best stealth games ever.

Video game devs are too retarded to do anything unique, they should stick to striving to making good games but even that is beyond them.
