Hideo Kojima says 60% of Death Stranding playtesters thought it "was a terrible game," but he thinks that's "a good balance"
Luckily, everyone seems to like Death Stranding 2

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima sa⛄ys playtests for the original Death Stranding were pretty bad, with 𒈔up to 60% of testers saying it "was a terrible game."
In an interview with Edge Magazine, Kojima explained that "I did a lot of monitoring tests for the first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding. I'd find t🐽hat four out of ten people would lov💙e the game, and six would say it was a terrible game."
A 40% positivity rating sounds dire, but for Kojima "that's a good balance." Thankfully, however, it's not something he seems to be repeating with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding 2. In those tests, he says "everyone seems to be positive." That's good news for Sony, he says, but he personally wishes "it was a bit more controversia♓l."
Pointing out that blockbuster movies often require an 80% approval rating before they make their way to cinemas, he says "I don't want to make games like that. I'm not interested in appealing to the mass ma൩rket, or selling millions of copies. That's not what I'm aiming for."
Kojima does point out that he "can't afford to make a failure" - "I must take care of my studio, my staff, our production budget. But in essence I don't want to simply recreate something that's already in the world. I want to make something new." Thankfully, Kojima does seem to have the juice that lets him sell million of copies - recently, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:♛Death Stranding passed 20 million players. That's pretty impressive if you consider that 40% approval༺ rating.
