Jesus, so many of these comments are eye rolling. But that doesn't surprise me as for whatever reason "Death Stranding" causes so many folks here to just uncontrollably spew absolute anus text because they didn't like it or care for it. I mean, good for y'all?
I personally loved it, but I wouldn't force my opinion upon anyone else. But, I dunno, for people that share other views than mine, it's easy to get the point across by saying, "It's not for me" or "I didn't really care for it". Rather than "IF YOU LOVE IT YOU'RE STUPID" and whatever other equivalent and obnoxious jargon.
That being said, the whole EDGE review debacle really did come of as unprofessional to me. Not because it wasn't reviewed, but the way he addressed the whole thing. It kind of screamed a child-like "I DUN WANNA" mentality when I read his statement. I honestly feel like if that was the approach he and they were going to take, it could've just been handled better. Him addressing it the way he did just sounded like some kind of edgy Twitter nonsense for clout or whatever the hell.
Not to mention in my eyes if you're some kind of "professional reviewer", I feel you should be able to sit and endure content and provide your conclusion. I mean, it's your job. Not doing so, to me, just seems like such a incredibly massive cop out. If I looked up to some reviewer and generally agreed with their opinions, I would be kind of taken back to see them just say, "NUH UH, NOT GONNA DO IT". Because it just feels like they've given up.
I mean, I'd feel the same way if I was watching a tournament and someone getting wrecked just got up and walked away mid-match.
