It's the same as Control, smoothed and sharpened up the wazoo. People seem to like that look though, which bums me out. Pretty soon it'll basically be forced on everyone, like TAA.

I'm convinced Kojima's artistic vision is seeing my vehicle stuck between rocks or falling of a cliff.
Walking in this game is so much fun that you'll in the end try to force your bike or car EVERYWHERE. Rivers, pile of rocks, steep hills, mountain tops, this is car terrain. Also abusing other player's creations like bridges, because fuck if I'm spending anytime in this game myself building shit.

2% away from Overwhelmingly positive at 2000 reviews. I love to see Kojimbo haters screech and throw fits in here though, always a fun sight.
From what I've read about the game in last year, Death Stranding is somewhat unique and interesting experience. I will try it when I get a chance (or hahaha spare $60)

Anyone who hasn't played this game, yet is commenting on it, joyously discard their opinions.
This is a gameplay-centric game. I played it for 10 hours today and still feel I haven't touched the surface of what there is to offer. "Walking-simulator" and "interactive-movie" sayers know nothing. Try it for yourself and tell me otherwise.

You know, you could always try the fullgame demo for 0$
But be aware, this is one of those "it gets good 10 hours in" kind of games.
I recommend rushing the story missions at the start so you can get to the boat ASAP. The game even tells you to finish shit up there before going, but that's a giant lie since you can return there whenever you want to do the sidequests.
Explenation for why, is that you'll likely get burnt out from the game if you're a completionist and your autism stops you from going further until the area is 100% done. If you do go ahead, you'll get tons of equipment that makes the game less of a hassle,
and more
fun.

Because Steamed Hams reviews are authoritative now. Well, if so, let's look at Skyrimjob reviews... oh.

Most of the Skyrim reviews are likely due to sex mods anyway. Can't blame them in that case.

Whatever, Kojima was always a hack.

Paint me a better picture than he has in his past three games and I'll accept that criticism. Otherwise fuck right off.

Delta force operators hiding under boxes, among other shit. Rest my case.

but young Kojima looks very CYBERPUNK

People like it because it offers a HUGE performance increase with little to no VISIBLE quality loss. Have you actually played a game with it enabled?

The game is a walking simulator, but is a good one. The worst thing of it is the boss design and the overall action, it's very poor compared to MGSV in that regard.
the bosses in Phantom Pain are all dog shit and the worst "bosses" in the series..
Yes I played Control with it, both with 1.0 and 2.0. You can even switch it on and off on the fly, so it's easy to compare. Of course it offers a huge performance increase, you're running at half resolution. No I do not agree it offers "no visible quality loss," that's the whole point. It looks obviously much more processed with a smeared look and sharpening artifacts out the wazoo.
If you google you'll find many people agree with me, they're just being drowned out people with less visual pickiness who don't notice such things (or don't care). Movies have gone through the same thing, "let's process the shit out of this DVD master to make it look HD!" Some people don't notice the difference, some people do and fucking hate it. All depends on the person... which is fine, as long as it's just an option. I just don't think it'll be an option forever, either because games will design themselves around it like TAA or performance simply won't be adequate without it.

Sharpening is tweakable by the dev and users will have that option in the future. It's not the machine's fault, it's the man using it. And this technology isn't simply adding sharpening filters to the image, there's more to it than that.
Movies and games are very different when it comes to processing. It's much more apparent in movies because there's real people and objects, and in games there's always some kind of processing in the first place.
That said, although there's visible additional sharpening in Control with DLSS, I never thought it was exaggerated. It's nowhere near what's done to some old movies. Could be I have bad eyesight or could be you're placebo prone or just like to nitpick just because codex.
