This Postman Pat reboot has taken a dark turn.
Mrs Goggins seems to have had some cosmetic work done too.
Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat and his test tube brat
Sounds like Dada
paper boy was better than this shit :)
CUP o Tea Pat?
It was a fatal mistake from Kojima not to cast Kevin Costner and name the game "The Postman".
Well that's exactly what the game seems to be !
Would rather watch Postman 3x in a row.
@@tommmyhouse hey I love the postman I could do that
Yeah but Hideous Kojima has a thing for Norman Reedus and by thing I mean a raging rock-hard meat sausage so it was out of the question to cast someone else. I do agree with Mads Mikkelson as the villain though. That guy is actually pretty cool.
@@tommmyhouse My thoughts exactly.
This game really gets good at the 82 hour mark. If you cover yourself in piss and shit it's more immersive that way. Thanks for the ladder !
Thanks for a tip, man!
Do I have to order piss and shit from Kojima with a shipping from Japan or any piss and shit will do?
82 hours!!!!! i i beat say sekiro before that length and I had fun from the beginning.
"You gotta play it for 15 hours before it gets good" - I've actually heard this argument used before horrifyingly enough
There is some truth to that statement but it's more enjoyment than it just 'getting good' due to the gear and equipment upgrades which was surprisingly not covered in this rushed review.
@@mrbobajango7482 Some games have slow starts, but they should keep you entertained still before it gets to the "great parts". It doesn't look like Death stranding has enough interesting stuff going on to keep you hooked for ~15 hours before branching out with more interesting gear. Other people just have more patience I imagine.
When your feeling after 4 hours is "I've seen it all" even if that's not the case, then the game failed for you.
@@lanceke I definitely appreciate the perspective you have on the matter. I just think after playing 70 hours of DS it was hugely intentional for the experience to feel like a long journey full of ups and downs. The game really starts to pick up at unfortunately the time when most will be feeling exactly what you described. It does an awesome job of rewarding the player for the time they put in but at the same time you have to be into the experience and willing to commit time to get the most out of it. Very unusual game I have to say.
Oddly enough, the statement is actually true. Once you hit Chapter 3, the game starts dulling out more and better equipment for the player to use. Making the journey FAR less tedious than it was in it's opening hours. It's also when you can start contributing toward or solo-building roadways which cut down on the time it takes to reach your destination and can even help avoid otherwise annoying terrain such as rivers by crossing right over them. You don't know true tedium until you've lost your balance in a river and are watching all of your cargo float downstream lol. So things like roadways, bridges and the all-terrain exo are Godsends in this game. Granted, I get how people feel. Before Chapter 3, I was considering putting this game down and playing Star Wars instead. But I decided to stick with it...easily one of the best decisions i've ever made. But hey, different strokes. I wouldn't fault anyone for bowing out before Chapter 3. I'm just personally glad I made a split decision not to.
Ya, but in FF XIII, it was more like 30 or 40 hours before it got merely "better", not even good.
Guys I have to go out but can't stop reading these comments, I am literally in tears with some of the comedy writing of my subs, you guys are hilarious.
Awesome review mate, I've heard people say they like that it got made because art but don't like the game, but games can be decent and make a statement or be artistic, senuas, I liked firewatch as an experience as well, oxenfree and countless others. They then talk about how they're glad an original game can be made even though the gameplay is boring, how about dead space, that was such an awesome game that came from nowhere. Definitely be giving this a wide birth
We love you Mack! This is one of your hall of fame reviews.
It's not for everyone and so far everyone who finished it said it was amazing , I can't agree on u combat gets good once u start building assault rifles and etc. But it's ok clearly millions of people Are enjoying it because they understand the idea of the game .
It's not for everyone especially those who were expecting something else , but I have enjoyed every moment of this game the world building gets really good once u Start building roads u can drive on gets up places faster .. it's ok numbers show that people who take there time are enjoying this game as much as me I look forward to a sequel ..or hopefully dlc it's a big world that lots can be added in
@@mrdadecounty3056 how the hell does getting assault rifles make the AI any less shit?
Lets listen to the words, the words of mac!
I was more excited for this review than the actual game.
Ikr
@@Poon1312 No its not. It gets there after about 20 hours. I finished it. I think this game had alot of potential but it just doesn't know how to pace itself. Even if it only appeals to a certain person those aspects still aren't done well. The boss fights are easy af. The Catchers are so boring because of how slow they are and the AI in general is just dookie. The game has no respect for the players intelligence or time or itself because it fills the game with random Monster advertising. It even makes it a core component of the game. Yeah its weird and I somehow liked it but its not good. And personally it might be the worst story I've ever seen. And the things Kojima has been saying is bonkers. He's like the Kanye West of the gaming industry.
@@Poon1312 What was your favourite bit? I assume you loved the game from the beginning and it was immediately lots of fun like...um...all good games ever. Or did you want to 'suffer for the art'? At least now you can tell all your friends to stick with it and then recite in-jokes to each other whilst mocking those that choose to spend 20 hours playing something enjoyable :)
@@tannerhill9648 you're crazy. This game is an amazing experience
@@ploppyploppy I think its either Chapter 9 or 10 but its when you cross the Tar Belt. When I figured that out I was just blown away. That was amazing. It was probably my favorite moment in gaming all year. Kojima can be amazing when he wants to be. I just wish the rest of the game was.
'It loves itself so much for being nothing'. Perfect.
Hmmm....sounds like Kojima didn't deliver with this game?!
@@stefanhell3521 He did deliver his usual nonsensical whack via Norman Reedus the postman.
@@stefanhell3521 I never get the hype around the guy, I mean yes he's a good gane designer, but there are other game designers and artists in this media that do a way better job than him without being pretentious picks.
@My Drawing Methods 😃
@@stefanhell3521Dude hasnt delivered since MGS3 20 years ago.
The clown horn killed me
Imagine being a mailman and then coming home to play death stranding
Then rather be a border guard and come home to play Papers Please
I am a truck driver, when I get home, I play Euro Truck Simulator 2... no I don't... it was a dream...
Imagine having delivered your order for death stranding to yourself because you’re a mailman and THEN you come home to deliver more packaged
I skipped this game for that reason, I'm a postie/mailman and I deliver parcels and letters all day, so I cannot justify spending money to do it in my leisure time.
and after you had enough you go watch some futurama
when you actually explain aspects of this game in such a matter-of-fact manner it really demonstrates how absurd the whole thing is
And that is exactly what I tried to do in this review, so glad someone actually saw this :)
@@WorthABuyreviews i think you pretty much do it with every game you dislike, maybe unintentionally, but its there allright. and this is why we watch it
@Dongs I remember glancing over at one of Dreamcast Guys titles for a Death Stranding video and it was literally the game is boring but I love it. That really seems like an oxymoron to me how can a game be fun if it is utterly boring?
I'm really not bothered that the combat is garbage because that's not why the game exists. It's just there to be sprinkled in for flavor. I'll probably just avoid fighting.
@@budthecyborg4575 combat can actually be really fun if you use it as a last resort. I've had a lot of thrilling infiltrations gone wrong that become frantic escapes. I had one where I tried to steal their truck and escape their electric spears and in the context if the whole journey I was making it honestly felt I was playing Clive owen in a sequence straight out of children of men or another movie kinda like that. My impression is the combat is good but I do get where people who say it's bad are coming from if thats how easy it could be if I wasn't so damn afraid of those bandits!
I love gaming in 2019. Nothing is worth buying, I save so much money!
i have had this issue for the last 4-5 years! Hugeass gaming rig and i'd be lucky to play 1 game a year.
@@kingprone7846 same to be honest. The best game to be released in 2019 is a game that was built in 2005.

*WHAT TIMELINE ARE WE IN NOW?!?!*
You know a game is bad when you agree with IGN.
You know a game is bad when IGN doesn't give it a 9 out of 10.
Lmao
@@HarryBuddhaPalm Usually IGN giving it a 9/10 means it's bad.
Then red dead and the witcher are bad?
@@shawn2950 dont forget the word "Usually"
Cons: "I agree with ign" 😂

@@mancamiatipoola taking a shit I suspect lol. aka dropping a deuce / pooping / going #2, whatever you wanna call it
This is a video game costing £50 and I review it as a video game not a movie or "Art" and I don't give a shit if it was written by my Auntie Florry (who never existed) and I also don't give a crap who stars in it. Is the story good? No it's terrible, messy, sick at times and completely confusing. Is the gameplay good? No it's utterly boring 90% of the time. Is it worth a buy, well the Main stream reviews love it and they adore Kojima, good for them. Do I like it, nope, do I call people that like it? Nope, I simply post my opinion then move along, see you in two days for Star Wars review.
Amen
Your reviews are often the highlight of my day. Thank you!!!
This was hilarious. Classic review.
@@Poon1312 What bit did I not get, I keep hearing this accusation levelled at people who dislike the game yet I never once see anyone post WHY, so I invite you to explain what we don't "get" in this game.
Tamas Borbely if you were interested at all, I really think you should just give it a shot when it comes out. Honestly, I think it’s a great game. I was convinced it was going to be Kojima’s worst title by a country mile, but I’m about 25 hours in and have really enjoyed my time with it so far. I strongly disagree with his opinion on the story, as well. I think we all knew Mack was going to hate this title just based on its premise, so allowing his review to stop you from trying it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
This is hands down my favourite review on youtube.
MGS seems like a distant memory :'(
Sometimes I re-watch this during this pandemic. It cheers me up.
You mean you re-watched this during the made up pandemic revolving around a disease that never existed! You're welcome! But hey, we're going into the great Midterm War of 2022 and have forgotten all about the Plandemic!!!..................until the new midterm variant arrives.

Is a clown horn some sort of EU comedy effect?
I can't stop laughing at the fucking giant stack of packages on his back.
The game isn't getting a good reception over here in the USA, Kojima said it's because we Americans only like FPS & sports games. So i guess you're an American now Mack (brings out a box) here's your American football, AR-15 with ammo, $20 gift card to Walmart, six pack of Bud Light and keys to your new Ford F-150 pickup truck.

Yeah....long lost MGS generation.
"monster energy drink ad of the generation" maybe
If you mean the sjw millennial generation then yes it is.
The depressed generation maybe. Even mundane things become a challenge, everything seems bleak.
people force themselves to like this gane because they think if they dont like it then they are doing it wrong because its a fucking kujima game and the new generation and only old people dont like new generation things but the truth is its a failed bullshit game
" I cried with laughter as I tripped over every f****** rock" lol!!
Wow.. one of the BEST reviews for this game I have ever heard. That review alone is a 10 out of a 10 and was worth the price of the game just the pure honesty of what most people really think of the game for all hype that was built up over the last couple of years. Thx.
I don't even buy games anymore, or play them, I just love watching your videos.
The games have gone too shit to play. Right there with ya.
Same
Honestly I agree games are just so shit nowadays. I mean for me this year it's just borderlands 3 and probably star wars fallen order. Otherwise what a boring year.
Dark Reaper “The outer worlds” was okay but again not really worth full price
@@kpman644 I completely disagree. The outer worlds was better than fallout has been for like 8 years now, and considering obsidian are an exceptional company who nearly went bankrupt before Microsoft, they deserve every penny imao. Btw considering they made the outer worlds prior to Microsoft giving them funding, that's pretty fking impressive. Now imagine what they can do with Microsoft's financial support.
"Pretentious" was exactly the word I was waiting and expecting from you sir and you didn't disappoint. Totally agree with you.
"The Postman: The Game"
-- not starring Kevin Costner
I felt there was too little mention of that movie as people praised Kojima as a genius...
Recon.777 haha l thought i was the only person that has that movie
Honestly man, I’ve discovered one of your videos only last week. Since then, I’ve watched around 30 of your videos even if I didn’t care for the games that you reviewed. You are hilarious!!! I can’t stop laughing. Very very good sense of humour!!! Thank you!!!
I'm so glad Kojima made a new game. I'm even more glad that he left out all of the great gameplay from his classic games, and only included his outrageous, convoluted story telling and excruciatingly long cut scenes. 👍
The beginning is always hard, I bet he gonna pull it off in one of his future games
@@kivsa85 Not really the beginning when he's also made the MGS franchise :P I know what you're trying to say but as a fan of his work, this is just really disappointing.
The cutscenes really aren’t long in this one, though. Honestly, it’s no worse than any Naughty Dog game this time around.
@@ytcorporate9237 It really pisses me off. The old Metal Gear games were so fun. Sneaking around complex facilities, littered with guards, completely unseen and unheard. I'd be in and out like a demon's whisper. Now they got me roaming around the countryside like an asshole.
He is apparently going to start making movies from now on. He's going to find out that movie critics are a lot harsher than games 'journalists' and that directing a movie is harder than it seems.

Now we know why konami kept him shackled.
because of a bad review from a washed up nobody that hates every game that requires a controller? don't be a drone kid, think for yourself
I love your style. Your reviews are often more fun than the games.
Hideous Kojima.
That joke still makes me chuckle.
"Hideous kojima"
A joke that crossed everyone's mind but only the brave dad punners dare to say it out loud.
Mech Imperative yep, unfortunately this game probably sold really well and they’ll deem it a success and will let him do more
@DarkMTS_57 Oh no! This one developer will keep on making what he likes instead of being on Konami's leash working on Metal Gear 36 while they are violating their IPs with gambling machines and mobile games. This completely ruins my day. How will I ever move on, dear God!
I don't know why it took me 4 years to subscribe, but now's the fucking time!
13:25 had me dying lol 😂 😂
having a 3 meter stack of boxes on your back is very realistic - i love it!
In a game where you throw piss and shit grenades at ghosts, the rain turns you into and old fart in a matter of seconds and you have floating cargo trays following you, why not? A 3 meter stack weighing in at 300 pounds is just fine. Just make sure you keep the pizza on top...
to be fair there are still some mountain porters in slovakian Tatras or czech Snezka who carry kidn of similar packages
@@J3TT191 Jesus christ what? I never even climbed Sněžka, let alone with 150kg of cargo on my back pffhaha.
@The_one_who_nox no but death stranding 2 might take place in africa...
Death Stranding is a social experiment disguised as a game.
Its the emperor's new clothes, no one wants to admit they dont see a good game, or a good story, or a good new genre, or Kojima's genius; because they think others will look down on them. Kojima himself bashed Americans vs Italians, saying to Italian news media that us Americans can't understand this kind of game because we play Call of Duty.
How many gamers stood up and said, "no, I understand it Mr Kojima, please dont bash me!!!!". Lies. Even HE doesn't understand it.
Now I may not be as high brow as a nation that sells used panties out of a vending machine? But Im okay with that.
But yeah, I'll stand up and say it, i see the clothes dont exist. ill try this for $20 some day. I appreciate someone doing something new ,i really do. i dont like CoD. But this is not a top 20 game of the year. Its not 10/10. Its not 9/10. Metal Gear had a stupid plot too. Terrible online. Bad gameplay. Neat ideas! But bad games. Kojima is the most over-hyped game developer of all time. -- I agreed if it wasn't made by Kojima it would be getting 4/10 reviews by the same 10/10 people...
Kojima is an amateur film maker disguised as a game designer.
@Valthe1st Gaming
Try something new???
Indy games are all about trying something new. But because no one knows the developers, no one cares. And thats the problem.
Why should I be impressed by a walking simulator with poorly implemented mechanics and pseudo-intellectual nonsensical storytelling.
You would think Kojima could afford solid programmers to make decent driving and physics. How much money did he throw at Norman Reedus and all the other actors?
The only reason this game is getting attention is because it was made by Kojima, WHICH IS THE PROBLEM.
Sony only threw money at this game because Kojima's name would guarantee sales.
They aren't going to do that with anyone else.
And the fact that it worked is the reason AAA games will remain conservative and boring.
@squidracerX
Completely on point. I was already sceptical when I've watched those trailers, which revealed absolutely nothing apart from letting us know that this will be the typical pretentious Kojima crap. And apparently I was right.
I mean, he _does_ have some interesting ideas, true, but then again what he has produced so far is far away from being the revolutionary and innovative stuff he and a lot of people claim it is. And I know a lot of fans of the Metal Gear series and a great part of them admits that those games can be called the forefather of stealth games, but that the story, which is told over _five_ games plus spin-offs, is completely crap. And let's be honest, after the first two games, there was nothing really new apart from changing small stuff.
Anyway, I can not take Death Stranding serious even the slightest bit after watching a Let'sPlay and actually had to watch a character in the game making you tie her up like a package, put her on your pannier like and carry her around like a package, because the outer world is "too much for her right now". I honestly don't know how anyone can still take this game or Kojima seriously after watching this.
@@squidracerX kojima coming out and saying people dont understand his game because they play call of duty sounds like the typical kind of condecending comment most pretentious gamers come out with when people arent into the games that theyre into. Especially if its games like the last of us, dark souls, witcher 3 or those tell tale type games.
Thank you for having the guts to call it "pretentious" Everyone likes their own scent, don't they?
"I agree with IGN"
LMFAO that's perfect.
DBFCTM if Mack was interested in Pokemon Sword and Shield and he saw IGN’s review I assure you he wouldn’t say that 😂
@@darthraider450 I'm not familiar with their review of that game, hell I don't even look at most of their reviews they're usually that bad. But I did see their mixed review of Death Stranding, and I just thought it was funny that Mack even acknowledged their review by saying he agreed with them in his pros/cons listing. I wasn't expecting it.
IGN is full of different people with different opinions. Sometimes you get someone there who does something right lol
An IGN 7 isn't the same as a real 7. This game clearly isn't Gone Home.
So edgy. Makes me think of an episode of master chef. A celebrated culinary genius visited the show. The contestants were beyond excited. He demonstrated his brilliance by doing away with plates. He just dumped the food on a table. It was so profound, so mind shatteringly unique and beautiful, people were literally moved to tears. "The Emperor's new clothes" never stops being relevant.
The Panic at the Disco song?
Nailed it on the head with the emperor's new clothes. Somehow Kojima has transcended criticism. We must love everything he does, no matter how banal.
When the introductions that came before the game was more excitement than the game itself
Should have been called "I shouldn't have double dropped that acid"
Played your nursery rhyme singing for my 1 year old, she went straight to sleep, cheers bud
Just like mom used to sing to me
I suspect this review was delayed by a day, because of the amounts of re-takes that were required to review the game in such a calm and professional matter.
Or, it got lost in the post.
to be fair, mac always lose his shit so all is forgiven
it did sound that he was a new York minute away from pissing himself laughing the whole time
"the fact that the story is an absolute load of S*** that at times verges on being absolutely sick kinda makes me wonder what actually goes off in this guy's mind" lmao
Finally someone says it
Someone finally has the balls to say things how they are without this weird fanboyism.
Plenty of other people have done it, Mack is just the best at it
The most overhyped piece of shit. Makes Royal Mail underrated.
Its all for attention, and then of course the macdaddy fanboys hop on the bandwagon. Honestly it is one of the most entertaining games I've played in a long time. These people have brains similar to that of a squirrel on crack and need to shoot something and blow something up ever minute to think something is good. When something different comes out that doesn't satiate their desire the destroy and kill then it must be bad.
The Worthabuy macdaddy fanboys are at it again.

... Yup.
I haven't seen very many of your videos. But I was just reminded after watching this one why I subscribed to you a while ago. This review was funny as hell. 😂
There was no way Mack was going to give this one a pass, I knew it. The reason why he is a great reviewer, is because he's ALWAYS consistent; first and foremost, the game is needs to be fun. Now you can disagree with his way of looking at games. You can disagree with his review, but he does not sell out, he sticks to what he thinks makes a good game, and he's fucking consistent and solid.
That is why I follow his channel among a few others. Understand that a reviewers' job is nothing else than to be consistent in their evaluation and perspective. That's how you build trust. All you need is 1-3 guys who are always solid but have a different angle on how they look at games and you're set. Forget YongYea, skillup and those sellout bandwagoners.
Well, there was at least one suspicious review on Wolfenstein II
"The reason why he is a great reviewer, is because he's ALWAYS consistent" Hahahaha. Don't get me wrong, I love Mack as a reviewer, but this made me laugh. No one is ALWAYS consistent and Mack definitely isn't. But I admit, he got a lot better at consistency nowadays.
I don't agree. Mack gives bias to games he likes and doesn't hammer them anywhere near as close to others for the same issues. He will finish games he likes, but doesn't give the same to ones he doesn't. That is very poor review work and makes his channel seem very unbalanced. Look at his Outer Worlds review. He should have hammered it but didn't, because he liked their game from 9 years ago and let many, many issues that he brings up in other games he hates, go unmentioned in Outer worlds. It got a free pass because of his bias.
He does this a lot, he bagged Far Cry 5 for having crap A.I in an A.I driven game, a rubbish story amongst other things, yet thumbed it up. You call that consistent reviewing, I certainly don't. Mack will crap on a game before even playing it, he has a lot of pre-bias towards particular games, and he is very rarely objective, which is very poor for a professional game reviewer.
SkillUp is just a fan boy who makes videos. He'll bash Anthem and Fallout 76 but basically praise to high heaven every other game.
@@billybob4961 what bias? Outer worlds was a legit game far cry 5 was just copypasta.
Guy: paints a red dot
People: looks like shit
Hideo kojima:paints a red dot
People:its art
Thats just the way the world works once you make a name for yourself you can sell anything as "art" eg someone sold a painting for million and it was just a frame.
But that's because Kojima has made one the best video game franchises to date. And i hope Death Stranding is his next
most kojima fans are a fan of him cuz they think his weird bullshit is hilarious.
man, i love mgs and its absolute insane story. even the hamfisted garbage i enjoy alot. cuz of the cheese
but death stranding is a cool experience and i like it alot. its not fun as a game tho
Just because you don't understand Kojima's style doesn't mean its not art. It simply means you don't understand this artist's particular style.
But you know, it's easier to poke fun than admit that to yourself. Growth being such a bad thing and all.
Yeah, what have you created apart from negativity?
This review made me laugh harder than ever, thank you so much Mac
This is way more hilarious than I ever could have imagined
Remember the story "Emperors New Clothes"? I used to think that Kojima was the tailor and game journos represented the Emperor and the public. Now I think that Kojima is both the tailor and the emperor.
It's cause he's Japanese. Gaming nerds love Japanese people. They give Japan and Japanese people this certain mystique. It's cringe.
@@whiteymcflightey well said. There is only a bias in favour of some genres and one of them is the Japanese rpgs.
as soon as somebody sees the 'J' in 'Jrpg' they automatically like it to death.
but they're mostly shite to be honesy.
World B. Gilbert Gottfried Yes this I true, I even catch myself falling for this nonsense at times, thinking that the Japanese are great and can do no wrong, it’s strange.
A quote from Hideous Kojima - '' Death Stranding even now I don't understand the game'' And I don't think anyone does or wants to for that matter.
Hideous lol
@Andy Clifft people have this idea that if they cant understand something then the person who created that thing must be smarter than they are especially after they have already created great content. as the old saying goes "if you cant dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bullshit".
"I don't think anyone does or wants to for that matter." - Looks like he knows his cult are full of idiots
the way he tells it makes it hilarious - lmao
"It's too in love with itself for doing nothing."
Mack, you're the only honest games reviewer out here and you're also fucking hilarious, never change.
The lake district part made me spit my water out faster than Kojima sniffs his own flatulence.
Surprised no mention of the product placement in the game!
Excuse me whilst I have my slow motion close up shot of Monster Energy Drink TM
I was taken aback by that AMC ad on the shower thing
So, it's full of itself, it fills your head with absolute sh*** that depresses the heck out of you, and its creator doesn't even know what it is. I was just about to write, "So basically, it's a fricking modern art piece" and that very second you mention the Tate modern art gallery. LOL! Glad i subscribed.
At the end, a thumbs up point is "I can sell it on Ebay for £30" hahahahaha 🤣
I lol'd at that cause its so absurd. He just paid 50 or 60 so getting only half his money back for a game he clearly didnt enjoy isnt a pro, but using that as a dig at the game certainly is 😁
This is the perfect example of what gamers were nervous of back in the 1990s when flashy graphics and video became easier to make. A game full of cutscenes. It's literally a walking simulator over rough ground with a few fights thrown in to not make it too obvious.
Watching this review again one+ year later because LMAO.
This comment is more interesting than this game.
It’s not.
Only if the comments on here get good
Have you ever thought of writing kids lullaby's for a living,that was very moving .
This needs more 👍
I lost it when he started the lullaby
If you folks want to play a good delivery game, play Mud Runner. All you do is drive trucks across bush land and pick up logs to haul to a lumber mill. And there's no bullshit story or cutscenes. Just pure delivering logs goodness.
That's my go to game for watching youtube and playing, when I'm not really in the mood to focus on either one lol
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is also an option. And a good option, for that matter.
That’s even more boring, fuck outta here
J but it’s not, traversing the map is very difficult. You need to watch your fuel and pull extra fuel truck or repair vehicles with you to manage long hauls. You need to strategize carefully on which route you choose. Very in depth!
D Kropelnicki
Oh wow, it’s literally Death Stranding. Except trucks aren’t the only option, there’s bikes, robot legs and hover boards.
I tried and tried and tried to like this game, if I didn't have to construct materials which was a nightmare on its own I would have been happy to just wander around in the rain constantly tripping over- without an umbrella! Great review! 👍
Be patient, keep playing and believe me, you'll come back here and tell this community how DS is one of the best experience you've had in gaming!
The beach looks like the one at Blackpool circa 1990 , I never though Hideo would draw inspiration from such places , also replacing Kwiksave bags with dead whales is genius.
I don’t disagree with you... but I am enjoying this game. It’s not for everyone.
Just like going from ass to mouth, not for everyone mah dude.
@@thenetpagan looool!
Just go be a fucking mailman irl then you shite
Solo why you so mad someone else enjoys a game that you don’t Jesus man I think this game is shite but get a grip
@@thenetpagan lmao wtf
The ending had me... The "but you didn't play 1208 hours, that's when the game gets good" argument is the last line of defense of many gaming travesties. Excellent review, both for it's humor and it's ballsy approach!
How is it "ballsy"? Everyone is shitting on this game, despite the fact that most havent even played it.
@@TheAlibabatree Yup, this fucking idiot hasn't played it either...16hrs my arse...the last footage in the video is a couple of hours in at most.
Just remember lads, even the end of the world won’t stop Amazon
I truly appreciate the extremely objective opinions in this video that specifically address the fact that Kojima is an extremely pretentious and overrated prick. Well done, sir.
It's one of those games where this review is far more enjoyable than the actual game! :P
like most movies lately
When I saw a teaser for this game a couple years ago, I thought it was similar to Silent Hills, except stranded somewhere in the middle of nowhere to survive...nope. You’re a pizza delivery guy.
"Pizza, semen, and eggs."
Mee too, but SH2 had an amazingly presented story, that was simple and made perfect sense, this is a super convoluted, nonsensical load of shite.
Possibly the best review Ive ever watched.
I thought you were taking the piss about delivering pizza. Bloody hell.
Thought he was joking about delivering Pizza then the objective said to deliver the Pizza before it gets cold. I'm so done.
worst part is that after completing the game you unlock a secret room. the room was owned by the guy that acts as the main villain.
there you find out his real name.
and his real name is the same name as the guy you delivered pizza to. the room is also located in the same bunker where you delivered the pizza. wich i only realised after revisiting it twice
Post apocalyptic postman is what I've been calling it Mac. Woops, I mean post-person. Don't wanna assume a gender!
Damn, I thought I already saw that movie.
It's ok. Any woman delivering parcels would prefer to be called a post"man" anyway.
I watched this again as its on sale.
And was about to write. "Iv watched a ton of you superb vids Mac. But this is the best review you have ever done."
I scrolled down to write this, and saw, that I had already written this exact responce 3 years ago. 👍
And I LOVED the "pro" of "I can sell it on EBAY for 30 quid." 😂
This review is hilarious. Please keep doing reviews mack
All Mack does is explain the premise of the game in simple factual terms with no exaggeration and it is absolutely hilarious. This game really does sound absolutely messed up and bizarre when you really just take a moment to think about what the fuck is actually going on. The game doesn't even need to be reviewed, it speaks for itself.
Thanks for saving me 80 dollars
Fam this is the type of game u need to experience to no if its for u or not i didnt think it would be that good until i played it yall gotta start being open minded
Absolutely love this review. After all this time I still keep coming back to watch it again 👌☝️🤌
Thanks for being the only honest reviewer Mack. You've got my uttermost gratitude.
Honest reviewer who didn't finish the game?
@@MrSwitchblade327 honest reviewer that isn't sucking Kojimas fluids every 10 seconds? If you just want to satisfy your confirmation bias then go and watch Yong Yeas review.
Mack is the only reviewer I trust nowadays.
Mack, as always you saved me a lot of money. Thank you for being out there for us.
Worth a buy is honestly the most hilarious game reviewer I have ever watched, and is now the only reviewer for games I watch, His take on star field is epic. keep going champ!
Why didn't you edit your head in the thumbnail? :(
Asking the real questions
I'd like to see him more on the baby's body
The genre-defining experience: Virtual Deliveroo.
Doubtless this review will have zero fanboy abuse. None.
Tried it this weekend despite this review.
I should have listed to you; the review is spot on.

"it made me cry!" Oh, you knew what was coming from this review :)
