I just did the Death Stranding intro and I have very little interest in continuing. Does any of this start to make sense?
I find stories that rely on just dumping mind-fucks on the audience are rarely actually stories. They're just concepts that got too many layers stacked on top of them and the storytellers rely on piling more and more mystery and mind-fuck on the audience.
I just watched a forty five minute movie with about twenty minutes of walking interspersed and it dumped me into the deep end of "here's the world bitch"...
and then dumped me back into "pick this up and carry it to the next building".
So my question to you. Does this game actually acquire a linear narrative and does the game ever actually tell you what the fuck is happening? Or is it just a non-stop parade of "now you're even more confused than you were before"?
All that said... I do find the world building intriguing and I want to know more but not if it's continually presented in the manner of "one twist after another" like the entire opening segment..
