And so I don't want to take on a game that's going to be 50 hours.

But last weekend, I tried Death Stranding 2.

Okay.

Hadn't played the first one, but I was like, ooh, this could be really cool.

And to be honest...

I was pretty disappointed.

It seems like a cool game.

It's not like it's bad or anything, but I just thought it would be more.

I thought it would be more different than what I understood the first one to be, and it seems like it's that, but with a new coat of paint.

Whenever I try a AAA game, obviously it's extremely subjective, but for me, it doesn't feel like that much stuff is different than five years ago or ten years ago.

The graphics are nicer, but I don't care very much.

And anyway, that's not a driving factor.

I want compelling gameplay that gets to the deal quickly.

I tried Pikmin 4 recently as well.

And after 45 straight minutes of characters talking and no gameplay, I was like, I don't fucking care.

I want to just play a game.

I don't give a shit.

Even the Pikminverse?

He doesn't get it.

Anecdotally, I think that indie games have done a better job of being innovative and being creative and compelling.
