Death Stranding Director's Cut (PS5) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "Shigeru Miyamoto made video games 'fun'; Hideo Kojima made them interesting, proving they could not only be a diversion, but a powerful expression that teaches people, bringing us together as an entire species, instead of just the person sitting next to you. Look at it this way: For $10.00, you could take a discarded copy of the most misunderstood, unappreciated AAA game of 2019, elevate it in virtually every way, and possibly even learn something. Or you can buy a single weapon for Yuffie in Final Fantasy VII Remake for a penny less. Time has already been kind to Death Stranding; I can only imagine how the future will look back on it. As for the world today, we can hope for change but should be creating it ourselves, for each other's sake as much as our own."

I honestly think Kojima getting access to a Dualsense prototype spawned the Deathstranding concept. It’s a perfect game for the controller.

ebotj1296d ago

The haptics in this game are absolutely Amazing, but eats through batteries quickly!

MIDGETonSTILTS171295d ago

I honestly never thought the battery drained quickly. I also do have 2 controllers, so I never have to wait for a recharge….

Maybe try turning down the light bar brightness?

Got the Director's Cut platinum a couple of hours ago.
Ready for DS2 now.

Storm2337d ago

I have been slowly working my way though this game for months. I keep playing other games in between but I want to finish it before DS2.

Knushwood Butt37d ago

I ended up with over 140 hours on it, but I wasn't exactly rushing. Ended up seeing to it that all roads were rebuilt too.
There are still a few Half Life missions left that I think I'll do.

lukasmain37d ago

Man I love this game. Platinumed it and played through it a 2nd time just for fun. I'm day 1 with bells on for the sequel

anast37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

It got a lot of hate from people who weren’t going to play it because it was only on PlayStation at launch but it’s a unique game that I recommend to anyone who wants to play something a little different. It’s a little slow in the beginning(like a lot of games) but the atmosphere is great, gameplay is fun, and the story is weird which I always appreciate. Definitely buy it. We need more weird shit in gaming especially at this level of quality

pwnmaster3000165d ago

Right.. it’s not a “walking simulator” no more.

mkis007165d ago

This game was a breathe of fresh air in an industry of recycled genres. Playing through it felt like taking a nice shower after a week. Glad it has gotten a good reception finally by non ps/pc players.

Without ZERO marketing investment!

Crow was served to those who predict that DS sales on Xbox would flop!

Now that Kojima owns the IP, I definitely can see DS2 coming to Xbox rather sooner than later!

PrinceOfAnger169d ago

It's interesting to see a Decima engine game running on xbox

darthv72169d ago

I dont see why... i mean did people think it wouldnt run on XB?

RaidenBlack169d ago

Should run really well ... even on Series S ... given the base game was made for PS4.

169d ago
Zeref168d ago

I remember the PS fanboy armchair devs swearing that Decima can't run on Xbox 😂

Um, the price is 50% off. The bigger story would be if it WASN'T doing anything.

Julion0715168d ago

The bigger story would be that for you*

goken169d ago

I must say I am surprising.

Even at a discount it doesn’t take anything away from the feat. Let’s remember DS was kinda like a surprise drop, thus very little marketing.

It shows as long as the game is good and price is reasonable, you can still sell well on xbox

TheEroica169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

Careful! The corporate lusting Sony fans will downvote you... Gamers first!!

“ A major part of Death Stranding Director’s Cut’s success on the Xbox Store is the massive 50% off sale, allowing both new and old players to grab the game on the platform.”

With that much of a price reduction it would be a real shame if it didn’t sell well.

Lightning77169d ago

Yep that's why I said this lol

https://n4g.com/comments/re...

Question is will they show up for DS2 whenever that gets released for Xbox?

169d ago
VersusDMC169d ago

Unless we see the sales number we don't know if it's selling like hot cakes. Being ahead of call of duty for a day when it's on gamepass doesn't really say a million sales(which is a selling like hot cakes number)

But it is outselling the full game call of duty if you look at the image on the article it is only behind the 27 dollar COD Vault edition upgrade.

darthv72169d ago

Huh... would ya look at that.... people buying a game on XB.

Chevalier169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

Its an exception and not the norm. If you want to argue that then go see Xbox own reports and all the information from the FTC releases have shown without a doubt Xbox gamers do NOT buy games. Nowhere close to their competitors

darthv72169d ago

...not arguing anything, its just an interesting observation. Make of it what you will.

Petebloodyonion169d ago

"ts an exception and not the norm"

Yet, all these companies continue to make the same error by releasing their games on a system where sales are low. Why don't they heed the advice of Chevalier, who seems to understand better than market analysts that Xbox gamers don't buy as expected? Consider the millions of dollars these companies could save by not producing an Xbox Series S version and paying for quality assurance, among other expenses.

And to think that there's a strong rumor that Black Myth Wukong might be released on Xbox next year, I thought that Game Science knew better.

thesoftware730169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

Chevalier,

Man that FTC shit is old now, the data at that time wasn't even the most up to date, so now it's really not even viable information anymore.

And then you say DS is "exception", if this is selling, and Cod is selling, and the vault edition is selling, then we can clearly see it's not only this one game.

By your logic, who obviously knows better than developers, no game should launch on Xbox...it's such a stupid narrative you keep running.

PS sales will always be higher because the have more console sales by double or more...the percentages matter. So just stop with the foolishness already, when you really think about this line you will see how stupid it sounds..
"without a doubt Xbox gamers do NOT buy games."

Read it again, you don't say, low sales even if only 100 people bought a game on Xbox, then your statement would still be super wrong.

Julion0715168d ago

You mean how 75% of ps players dnt buy their own exclusives?

MrNinosan169d ago

How many copies did it sell?

Chevalier168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

Honestly it's easier to release games later to Xbox because they would have made all their money on competing systems. There's a reason why so many games outright skip Xbox altogether. This doesn't change that AT all.

Go ahead and compare games that only go to Playstation and Nintendo and you will see significant amount of games don't bother. In fact while you guys want to say that the FTC stuff is old it doesn't change the fact that Microsoft/Xbox acknowledged that Playstation has literally 1000's of games skipping Xbox. That's a FACT.

@thesoftware730

Oh yeah?! Prove it. Notice you can't ever site any examples?! You know why because these are literally exceptions NOT the norm. Go ahead post some links that prove what you're saying then? Oh right you would need proof and you don't got that either.

Can you name a single 1st party game that Xbox studios created that even moved 10 million copies in the last decade?! No? Because there's none of those too.

Julion0715168d ago

Bro you yapping if Xbox does or dnt yall find anything to complain or discredit touch ass or grass
