Huh what? Kojima has never been involved with Silent Hill other than PT Demo and the canceled full game Silent Hills. The series went to shit when it was taken away from Team Silent.

If anything 5 was shite from a story perspective. 2 is so underrated and I love 4.
It's always interesting to me to see what order people rank MGS games in, because it always differs and there's no popular opinion.
MGS 1 - Great
MGS 2 - Great (My favourite one)
MGS 3 -Good
MGS 4 - Average/Bad (Chapter 3 was awful)
MGS 5 - Aids
MGS 1 - Great
MGS 2 - Great (My favourite one)
MGS 3 -Good
MGS 4 - Average/Bad (Chapter 3 was awful)
MGS 5 - Aids
I'm still hopeful. Sure, his stories make absolutely no sense and drag on quite a bit, but I've never been disappointed by the gameplay in a Kojima product. He always creates something that makes you think "this is amazing, why has nobody thought if this mechanic before".
MGS 1 - Great
MGS 2 - Great
MGS 3 - Great
MGS 4 - Great
MGS 5 - Great but ffs dad are we there yet?!
Pretty much why I think its the best in the series.
Kojima and his team are not good storytellers, sadly.
Whoever called MGS2 shite clearly doesn't read much Bourdieu, Virilio or Baudrillard.
But then again, I still don't believe Kojima did either.

MGS5 story was bad but it had the best stealth mechanics I have ever played in a game up till now, to the point I enjoyed doing the repetitive side missions over and over and over again just to keep testing those mechanics.
As for Death Stranding, my expectations for it have been dropping a lot for a long time, due to the way they are marketing the game and the gameplay videos honestly look very uninspiring, though we shall wait and see.

The hype for this is a but much but kojima does need to tone down, the whole ambiguity of his games, it gets a bit much at times.

Interesting.
So many games coming out right now so if this does somehow turn out to be good I might just wait for the PC version.
Incidentally I thought they were a Sony studio now so I'm surprised it's allowed on anything other than a PS4.

Nah, Sony doesn't own them. They're just publishing the game for the PS4. It's also using the Decima Engine which is owned by Sony, but Kojima's studio is independent.
They did say right at the start that it will have PC version, there just wasn't a date.
The reviews for this are coming out a full week before the game launches?! Kojima must be pretty confident.
I wonder if we've barely scratched the surface of what's in the game. I hope

I'm really interested to see how this game reviews. It's going to sell fine due to Kojima, but i'm not sure how it's going to be received critically.
Most games "journalists" are right up Kojima's arse, I reckon it's going to get 9's and 10's no matter what.
I'll wait for caftards to review this, I am skeptical about this game but intrigued at the same time
Ooft, you're brave. Taking any of our opinions on anything is tricky. I could guarantee you that Gingsters could release a microwaveable steak pie that grants you immortality and half of this place would be complaining about the quality of the gravy in it.
I think it can go both ways. You're right in the sense that the game will probably get a boost due to his name, but i think you'll get the opposite reaction, too. The people who find him tiresome.
I had a feeling this game would be a massive turd. It looks very pretentious like a master director has gone too ‘art house’ and fecked over the real fans.
But with reviews coming a week before release usually means they’re very confident, it will probably be an amazing game.
Will wait for pc regardless I’ve got too many games to play, not even started Outer Worlds yet.

Nov 8 can't come soon enough!
The dialogue in that trailer was awful and we still didn't see any decent gameplay at all.
feck it you know this is going to be a convoluted shit show of a story that makes feck all sense and goes 20 different ways... but... its going to be fecking amazing.
MGS 5 was a shit show of a game and was still amazing and arguably some of the best gameplay on ps4.

Reviews dropping in 3 hours, any predictions?
Seems like it's very divisive. 84 on Metacritic.
Gamespot gave it a 9 but IGN only gave it a 6.8
Some technical stuff review from Digital Foundry...
Something that already seems like a deal-breaker is the annoyingly recognizable face from the guy in The Walking Dead. He looks likes a less endearing version of Thom Yorke, who doesn’t look endearing to start with. Not sure I can get past that.

This game sounds like a job.
I already have a job.

You think games are supposed to be fun?
Plebs!
I bet you all love Marvel movies too

Everything I've read, watched and listened to about this game has put me off thinking this is something I'd enjoy... so naturally I'll plug 60 hours into it over the next couple of weeks.
My brain is broken.

I wish Days Gone would go down in price so I can buy that instead. At least the combat in it looks fun.
Eurogamer gave it a recommended, but they can be really weird with their verdicts. Not the complete disaster I was expecting in any case.
I honestly think I'll pick this up (rented) just because it just looks like such a fascinating thing (good/bad) but I'll probably just keep playing Destiny 2 and The Outer Worlds until Pokemon comes out.
IGN's review was brutal.
Reviews are polarizing as I expected, but not on the lines which I envisioned. Common complaint seems to be a slow start, and lack of mechanics in action based combat. I have to play it myself to see what it is. Also, while there are some absolutely savage takes, there are some glowing takes too. Maybe @Damien would post them too.
Eh, combat is awful in Days Gone. The guns don't have any feel to them at all.

I sold my PS4 pro in order not to play this.
Lacking gameplay which for a Kojima game sounds bizarre as feck. I guess he just got it wrong this time. It looks like it's got tons of mechanics but not the ones the reviewers were wanting.
It's one of those I'll play at some point, probably five years from now when the kids are older. But it'll be in a queue with Horizon, God of War and Resi 2. Oh, and probably FF VII parts 1, 2 and 3.

I set fire to my house just to burn my PS4 and PC in order to avoid this game at all costs.
It does look beautiful. Definitely a polarising game.
