Metal Gear Solid certainly has some "crazy" bits in it. Stuff that, to be appreciated, one has to suspend their disbelief. But since MGS took place in our universe and was centered around the military and politics, it had a certain level of groundedness. Yeah, there was silly nanomachines and a little bit of paranormal stuff, but all of that was at a relative minimum compared to the rest of what was happening, which was real-world issues and stuff.
Death Stranding, on the other hand, seems to take place in a reality where anything goes. Babies in capsules, soldiers with umbilical cords attached to their equipment, levitating god-like figures in the sky. As much as I love Kojima and his batshit ideas, part of me fears that Death Stranding might be too "out there" and not grounded enough to be appreciated at the same level as Metal Gear was. I very much want this to not be true, though.
Anyone else?
