Dan's reaction... The sad truth is that Metal Gear has mostly been an on rails kind of series wherein you do what the game wants you to do without much deviation. (The end of MGS2 throws this right in your face) Death stranding seems like the same type of game. I think Kojima has stayed the same over the years. If anything he has gotten more severe in his overbearing style of game design. I think Dan is the one who changed and Dan is now angry to find out that his "auteur" of gaming has always been this way.
Buy everything all the time Alex! This is not like ME 1 you will not find duplicate items. Sometimes you can only buy a certain item at one shop in the galaxy and money is rarely a problem. Better to just get everything you can while you are in the neighborhood.
I like Dan but he was an odd choice to be on the sticks for this one. Brad would have done this more justice IMO. There are not a lot of fundamental differences between Blood Money and the new Hitman games, the controls and movement are different but the principals are the same. I find that some of the missions in Blood Money felt very open with seemingly countless ways to get at your targets.
The bit with the championship belt and "I chased that money" is an example of why E-sports is not taken seriously in most circles. It comes off as really immature. The Kid comes of as a total tool.
