The proper interactive evolution of a book reading experience, mixed with a long movie and the discovery of a very intense “life/death” vision. DS is an unique experience and for sure it’s doesn’t reflect the standards of what the gaming community was used today. Reason why I’m not expecting everybody to agree with me, but this is my personal vision.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ This vision of mine -not as hardcore gamer but as Videogame University Student- allowed me to appreciate even more Kojima-San’s bravery on his decision to release such a game in our times today. Videogames today tend to be the copy of the copy, like a wave taking everything in the same direction where the trend and money lead. Death Stranding is the proper representation of “the Beach” where a player can go and live this unique experience with his own perspective, or at least this is what it should be. If we don’t stand proud for what we really love to create and we’re afraid of expressing our own ART concept because of a failure risk/ judgements then we will never set a standard and make the difference. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Kojima did it again by setting the standard with a masterpiece that will be copied and took as inspiration for the future generation. And no, it’s not the fanboy talking here but the Artist in me believing in Art and in the power we all have to change the world.⠀ ⠀⠀ I recently streamed DS on my Twitch Channel and the beginning was one of the most frustrating experiences I had. As soon as I changed my “interpretation key”, I got used to it and I appreciated more than I could ever imagine.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Even though every actor/ VA did a sublime job, my favorite interpretation goes to my living inspiration - Troy Baker as Higgs - which inspired me to do this make up for the Ending Game Streaming.⠀ ⠀⠀ In the meanwhile I share with you some of the funniest moments in contrast with the deep “void” feeling that I had inside after finishing it (BB’s Theme) 🖤⠀ ⠀ #HideoKojima #LeonChiro (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7BGTQOlW2N/?igshid=14sjfid2469ok
