Death Stranding Finally Comes Out, Fans Get To Work Finding Out What The Hell It's About
On June 13th, 2016, when Hideo Kojima first debuted the trailer for Death Stranding and everyone collectively went "what the shit?", it almost seemed like the game would never come out. The inscrutable trailer and every subsequent, equally inscrutable trailer seemed more like performance art from the notoriously wacky video game auteur than an actual advertisement for a video game. Yet the game is out, today, and you can play it and find out what the hell it's about. It still doesn't feel real.
The hype for its release was naturally out of control. Twitter users eagerly shared their excitement for the game.
Death stranding is pretty cool so far 😁, about 4 hours 30 min into the experience. Definitely an edgy game and im enjoying it

Now, the humorous way to describe Death Stranding:You're the FedEx guy who moonlights as a Cable Guy for internet connections that works the WORST NEIGHBORHOOD THAT EVER EXISTED. https://t.co/4JNAxJXpAT

It will be interesting to see how the fan reaction plays out over the coming weeks as fans devour Kojima's new, insane game. For now, most seem to just be appreciative that it's finally here.
