A lot of what you mentioned. I actually got pretty pissed at Last of Us even before I knew the guy was a zionist back when it first came out because it was so hyped and was being sold as something else entirely by the end of it. Though that tech doesn't fit what you are saying. The others are like that.
Honestly, the big one for me is most Metal Gear Solid. I liked 3 pretty well. But I HATED 2, 4 was okay. and I'm sorry I cannot get over how they treated Quiet. (was typing way to much for the spirit of this because of that before I deleted it). I see that the gameplay is interesting and stuff, but I just can't get over how they treat women in those games at this point. I was barely hanging on in the early ones cause at least a lot of the misogyny you had to go looking for it. I can say the same for most Kojima games tbh. Death Stranding looks interesting mechanically but...well it goes back to the grizzled white guy action. (Though I did like Witcher 3, more Blood and Wine, though. 1 and 2 are....something in the same vein as this one, though. 3 is a little better with it, but it does some "men writing women" type stuff.)
Ocarina of Time. Another one that kind of got over hyped for me. It's the curse of being one video game gen behind the older millennials, I stg. Cause when I played it, I understood it and got why it was important for other Zelda games, but holy hell it was not the transcendent experience that I was promised.
Most platformers in general, I can't get into. Which is normally fine cause I like games with story and most platformers didn't have that much...at one point. Thank god for mods or I would never of gotten through Hollow Knight or Silk Song. Holy hell, those games are brutal.
I'm interested in this because it's so far off of my own thoughts
The game or my explanation?
how you came to that conclusion about death stranding. not trying to be argumentative, genuinely curious
It's kind of par for the course for most Kojima games, You got the guy from the Walking Dead (which aparently was going to be in a Silent Hill game before it got scrap given the teaser of PT) he's alone and doing a lot of stuff alone, being all rugged and stuff. I watched someone play through it at one point and it looks interesting but it's very much the rugged white male variety.
Thanks!
Np!
