Not that any of us knew what strand meant in the first game right? That was a very incomprehensible game. I played it through but I mean jeez.
I was into the strangeness of the world but every time the game tried to explain something it did so only by adding more layers of nonsense. By the end I was no longer looking for answers, I just wanted to get it over with so I could get back to having fun delivering packages.
Exactly my sentiment. When I heard about this game first, I was like oh my god post-apocalyptic postman delivering packages? That's exactly the kind of game I want to play. And then he was like but there's this baby and there's also liquid dream demons, I was like oh okay whatever but I can still just deliver packages right, and then every single cutscene could take anywhere from 5:00 to sometimes 20 minutes, I was like oh, I definitely don't care about the exposition, But as you said, they just kept adding layers of nonsense until I would literally watch YouTube videos straight through cutscenes because I knew they weren't going to answer any questions or provide like interesting context, they just seemed so irrelevant. Just let me be a package deliverer who upgrades my package capacity and rebuilds the town. That was interesting.
Hideo might just be making this for himself and he enjoys the story, but I want to play the package delivery part. Just make me the package delivery game and then write all the less interesting stuff in a journal in real life but don't put it in the game.
