wake up porters its time to deliver this bread
>>735856294I hate sleep token fans but kinda wish this had a sleep token song in it, kojima seemed to be into it before release.
>>735856372he probably met them and realised they were faggots
i like the new weather systems. do bushfires ever become a thing again or was that just a scripted event? i thought tar cannons were gonna be more necessary than they are.

>>735856581There's one more related to a sub order, haven't seen any happen randomly. It's still burning in my game
dollman r u ok
>>735856294One of the worst endings I've ever played. Complete dogshit, both gameplay and story wise. This whole story is garbage, if you go back to the start, this random dude who was with Sam, coincidentally has THAT BB pod? Lol, lmao even.
I didn't like being in the mountains
Kojima really took the shitty boss with cool design from the first game, put him in a substory, gave a proper background, the food ration, a big ass bt-cat sidekick with Gojira-like boss fighting theme, and most important an ability to make this fight better and different — a bloody coffin board. Too bad it's not customizable considering the surf culture of Australia. Still It's an extremily fun thing, especially if you ride it through the mules while blasting Police Truck. Also it reminded me Escape from L.A. a lot.
>sam leaves bathroom door open when showering in magellanSam pls>>735858021They're my favorite part of DS1 but I'm not a fan of them in 2
>>735858492>They're my favorite part of DS1 but I'm not a fan of them in 2Lots of time going without visibility. I don't remember if it was like that in 1. Lots of endish game time spend there. Avalanch was cool touch though
Best backpack trinkets?I'm thinking bell and boxing, and the bell isn't even for the easier gazer escapes, it's literally just to make it so my truck doesn't stop at the edge of BT areas for 4 seconds
bike fight is the first difficult thing for me on TTW and it sucks
>grenade launcher attachment on rifle>can shoot halfway across the damn map>dedicated grenade launcher>can probably throw them fartherwhy
>>735858681I like going through the layer of cloud, what makes it shit to me is that it doesn't feel fun to navigate. I haven't even begun setting up ziplines because of that, meanwhile in my last playthrough of DS1 I was minmaxing ziplines while still advancing through them
What's this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFLoRTwPtic
I hope physint actually has gameplay. What a waste of a decade these games were
>the truck, upon touching snow or water>UH OH, I BETTER STAND ON MY TIPPYTOES, NEED THAT MAX CLEARANCE HEIGHT!>the truck, upon getting high centered>HELP I'M STUCK, PRESS THE JUMP KEY AAAAAAAAAA KISAMA WHY DIDN'T YOU INSTALL ANTIGRAV FUCK FUCK FUCK
>>735859532i think they call it "anime"
>>735859532One ugly nigger
This game was so fucking good man. Totally unique experience. I wish Kojima would turn it into a 3 or 4 hours long movie.
>>735860046I wouldn't call it unique because death stranding 1 exists. Still nice game with cool story
>>735859545I think the combat guy was one of the only once who didn't leave Konami to join Kojima Productions, that's why combat got worse and somehow they couldn't hire someone with the same talent... it really sucks, especially now with Physint coming up, they got away with Death Stranding as that wasn't combat focused but with a new espionage stealth action game? idk man, that guy who stayed with Konami was one of the few who always had arguments with Kojima and unfortunately they both didn't like each other very much...
Kojima should really let his Dev team write some books about the optimized game codes they put together I haven't seen anybody come close
>>735860291That's true, but I count both games together in the overall experience you get playing through it. It's unique in that aspect I think. There really isn't anything like it.Another anon said he thought it reminded him a bit of Alan Wake and I can see that. Remedy games and Kojima games have some of the same vibes going on
>>735860425wouldnt be very handy its not like anyone else is using decima
>get to tar lake, see the dock outside the fisherman's place>go to the end, take the first rest I ever have, creating my only cairn>a few moments later get some likes from someone resting at my cairnthat's what it's all about, baby
>take 100% damage or less>survivalist camp then mechs>skipped camp because destroyed jammers earlier>don't get hit much>still get 140% damage taken I am convinced they didn't playtest TTW difficulty for combat. Inb4 git gud
>>735860425Both the graphics and performance of the game were top notch. The game looked like how I imagined games would look in the future as a kid.One of the things that impressed me the most was how fast you're in the actual game from the moment you press play in Steam. Especially when it looked so good too.Whatever they did, I'm finding other games look like they're from a previous generation to me now
>>735860425they do exactly that already and it pisses me off when people say Guerilla created the engine and Kojima Productions is just using it when this couldn't be further from the truth, they work closely together and optimize and make the engine better, Guerilla needs KojiaPro just as much as they need them to make the engine better, both are insanely talented dev teams who push each other
>Dollman bitching that you killed a squatterI'm sorry cunt, you're not the one getting peppered by shrapnel from a very live grenade.
>>735860425It's guerilla games engine and they provided support for death stranding games. I don't know if anyone else uses it so wouldn't be that useful I imagine
>>735860774>height fog model, which is a unique Decima Engine customization created by Kojima Productions.>created by Kojima Productionscreated by Kojima Productions, not Guerilla, it was created by Kojima Productions
>>735861137the customisation, not the engine.
>>735860774>There was one condition though, that Kojima Productions doesn’t just use the engine, but that we develop the engine together with Guerrilla Games, that it should be a collaborative effort. So we were really blown away by their stance on this and being so open with the engine and we thought “Wow, these are the people we have to work with.”the fucking engine didn't even had a name before Kojima lol>It was different from the engine they originally gave us, so we decided we should give this new engine a name. That’s when we came up with the ‘Decima’ name (derived from Dejima – an artificial island in Japan where The Netherlands and Japan would trade during the Edo period). I really feel that with both of us working on this engine we are accomplishing the work at twice the speed and building something really fantastic.https://blog.playstation.com/2017/02/23/the-hideo-kojima-death-stranding-interview-strands-decima-and-guerrilla-games/
>>735861294Well it's obviously the customizations that are pushing it to the next level.Same thing happened with the FOX engine.Their work is second to none when it comes to this kind of thing.
Might need to revive /kjp/general on /vg/ at this rate.Same lovely threads at all times was the best thing about the first game.Progressing through the game with all the other anons is the best.
>>735861356this must be so hard when you don't even speak the same language, goated devs.
>>735861356What makes Kojima Productions the most talented dev team we have in this industry isn't just that their games look and run absolutely incredible it's also the speed they get shit done, like they made Death Stranding in only 3 years while having to learn a completely new graphics engine and barely having an office to work in, also huge kudos to Kojima for managing all this, most would have failed
>>735861356>Guerrilla Games is a Dutch video game developer based in Amsterdam >(derived from Dejima – an artificial island in Japan where The Netherlands and Japan would trade during the Edo period)That's actually a pretty great name. It shows that two countries cooperate with each other to this day. And also how strange it was how eager the Japanese would brutalize the fuck out of the Dutch East Indies
>>735861480That's what I've been wanting to do but I don't know what to put in the OP aside from the obvious
>>735861356He probably means the one used for killzone. Horizon zero dawn I'd say was "debut" for the current decima engine
Go on without me fellas. I may have made a mistake.

Odds of DS2 getting some additional content now that the PC port is done?
>>735863367They continued to do extra quest lines and promotional tie ins after the first game was ported to PC, I see no reason they won't do the same for DS2
i like the chiral cat but i've only seen it once next to my bed on the magellan
>>735863710maybe it hates you
>>735862724I'll do it later in a few days if nobody did by then. I've been playing DS2 15 to 20 hours a day since release, barely find the time to do anything else, nor do I want to :^)I was a regular baker of the general, if links are down chances are I still have the files and can reupload if needed. Also somewhat related if anybody extracted audio (mainly music) files I'd like to get my hands on them, or be spoonfed on how to extract. I don't know if the stuff I used for the first game files still works on the second. I'm interested in fooling around with dynamic music, after I finish the game of course
Why is Sam so fucking autistic, he just stand around being awkward all the time.
I want to find some BTs to farm chiral but all I am finding is timefall and rain no BTs. Did the rescue the pajeet mission roughly storywise
>>735865693that's the contra when working with these hollywood actors, you can't just add a few lines more later in development, they do the mo-cap shit for a few days and if you want to add more dialogue later or whatever you're fucked cause they are all busy as hell and they are in america while Kojima is in japan, it must be insanely difficult for Kojima to work with them
>>735865829There's tar pools around the architect that has a ton of golden BTs. I think the animal shelter also has tar pools filled with golden BTs.
>>735865926Golden bts those little slime looking things?The balloon bt area was good but not respawning for a while
>>735865693>why is an autist even more autistic after a traumatic event
>>735866056Yep, they disappear if they see you so you gotta shoot hem quickly.
>>735860570Grab back pack armor and battle skeleton for damage reduction?
A guy on steam looked at our stand contract link and the likes don't add up. Both of us are showing we gave more likes than what the other sees received.
Does anyone else see the weird stone statue around where you first fought Neil if you go back to the area?
>>735866115Would the backpack armor really have saved me at least 50% damage ?
I forgot to check before Lou's 'death' but back in the early game when Fragile is looking after her, can you return to Sam's bunker? Or are you locked out of that home area until the main mission sends you back there?
>>735856501That's fair
>>735859545>>735860301You stick in the muds, don't you understrand? Kojipro games have been improving their gameplay from DS1 ==> DC ==> DS2 ==> DS2 PCPeople need to treat Death Stranding more honestly as a franchise. It's a tech demo, a fun tech demo with some soul and some stupidity, but it's just a big tech demo. Kojima is a lot of things, but unambitious isn't one of them. He's never let a mainline Metal Gear Solid be a simple sequel job, and I doubt he's gonna go into a Metal Gear Liquid and not plan for it to be his next most ambitious project. That's why DS2 leaves a bad taste in some people's mouth, it feels unambitious because it's basically Kojima actually delievering (late) on the promise that was DS1. And DS1 was a rushjob because he needed to prove his company could still make popular games. It's why the moment he finished DS2, he's out promoting OD and Physint. OD being an anthology is just another way to drum up money for Physint. Or maybe I'm just grasping at straws, but Kojima always wants his projects to feel newer than the last.
metagenomocist more like massivepussyologist
>>735866715How many likes has this slut got
>>735866329maybe it only updates every so often
got an actual storm after like 30 hours
>nobody upvotes my SSS postswhatever...
>>735866652How is DS2 "actually delivering" on promise that DS1 failed to? It's the same thing but bigger and more diluted with concessions to people who got filtered by 1. So you get an assault rifle pretty much immediately and are made to do Ubisoft tier "liberate outpost" missions between deliveries.
They kind of ruined the game by making BTs freely visible. Not that they were super hard to detect in 1 but the little gameplay of BB guiding you felt right, it had tension.
>>735860301See this is what scares me about Physint
>>735867395DS1 feels too empty and DC + DS2 was Kojima basically admitting that combat needed to be made more common and given more incentive to be used. DS2 is just the complete package gameplay wise while DS1 had a major free update and still wasn't as complete as DS2 was on launch. The example I always point to is the amount of lore dump and text logs in DS1. They have a dictionary in DS2, but it's mostly a notepad for terms and tips. DS1 had emails and messages they expected you to read... to sit down and read messages. In a walking simulator. Made by the guy who created the Codec. Why the fuck weren't these audio logs?!?! If you can't make the audio for every one then just don't include them which is what DS2 had the decency to do.
>>735867395Yeah. Actually delivering on DS1 would be like>Sam, Chiral density in your bones is turning them into jelly, you're going to be clumsy as fuck trying to walk over slipper rocks going forward and did I mention it's nothing but a thousand miles of slippery rocks and canyons going forward? Watch your step Sam>Chirelium nanomachines have also broken the auto-balance on the backpack, you'll have to do it by hand. I'm sorry. Oh, and see that water and nutrition meter up there, Sam? Be sure to keep your canteen full. Actually, our map is breaking in this area. Chiral clouds mean we don't have satellite coverage. You will have to figure out the route yourself. And while we're at it, timefall has intensified, it will now eat into the core HP of your cargo instead of just container health.>Good luck out there, Sam.
>without you playing during delivery after sam realizes lou is gone
How do I get more apples?
>>735867694Nah by making them visible, they can make them more aggressive and do different kinds. Now they just need to be fuckable in the next game and the Cycle of Like will be complete.
>>735868124I don't see how it's any less 'empty'. Large scale and open spaces is something DS2 has (thankfully) retained. I also don't like the word 'admitting'. Combat being treated more like in any other 3rd person AAA game is a result of reviewers, testers getting filtered by 1 and whining about it relentlessly. If Kojima is admitting something then it's that market forces exist and you have to respect them somewhat. He tried to be a crowd pleaser with this game, it just didn't work AFAIK.I also didn't mind the emails. More information delivered faster compared to audio logs. All in all these complaints have nothing to do with any underdelivered 'promises'. If you prefer Death Stranding But Less Mean And More Like Other Girls then that's ok but your choice of words is stupid.
i wish brigands travelled the map instead of just being in one spot and regenerating.
>>735867912>we can't create something like thisThen why do you have a job?
>>735868890Listen I guarantee if they had did audio logs:>1. Everyone would have listened to them at least once>2. We would have a more overall clear understranding of Death Stranding.Most people did not understrand DS1, but the real problem there is most people weren't given enough reason to care about understanding it. The lore is interesting, the themes aren't complex at least on the surface level. When people don't even try to care, the problem is on the design, not the playerbase. It's absolutely criminal that Death Stranding refuses to do anything with the huge downtime between orders when it has all these characters, backstories, and lore to fill it up, but they'd rather make Dollman talk about how we have all the cargo we need for the delivery, Sam. DS2 is just DS1.5 when it needed to be DS2.5 in feel. That's why I still consider the series to be a tech demo.
just finished the game, man i loved it, even though ill be honest, i didnt do much of the side quests, except for pekora, i didnt enjoy walking that much on australia, anyway, fuck, i really loved this game and i do feel a bit bad of not doing the side quests before, i usually lose interest post ending, too bad, great game though, i dont think its better than 1, but i loved the fanservice. also, sam is more autistic than ever, the ending dialogue from him is sorta goofy, i hope death stranding 3 is even better than this one.
>>735869563Most people's response to 1 was 'WTF?" and it was up to you to seek out the answers by reading your damn emails. It's not hard. Don't read those and you're left asking WTF when you get to edge knot.
>>735865829go back to mexico and 5 star everyone, be sure to claim all chiral crystals every time you level upthat got me a good chunkthink i ended the game with around 23k
this is the coolest shit literally ever, please tell me theres more
>>735870187there is more and it will get even coolerthat's like a 5/10 on the coolness scale
>>735870187>we can't create something like thiswell you just did niggers, now shut the fuck up and make more awesome action combat shit like this for Physint
>>735870325hell yes, glad to hear
>>735869563I don't think making the story as easily understandable as possible for people who don't even really care about it is that important. People who are sufficiently curious to *want* to understand it in the first place will also be willing to read a few emails. DSP won't "get it" no matter what.>>2. We would have a more overall clear understranding of Death Stranding.Most definitely not. The game lets out as much as it wants to, Kojima isn't limited by the medium of text lol Letting downtime (if you really want to call it that) be downtime is a conscious choice. Creative dad wanted a game where navigating naturalistic enviroments is entertaining in itself and IMO he achieved that. So he doesn't feel like occupying you with a podcast at the same time is essential. Tech demo is something that exists only to showcase some kind tech and I don't think there is that much to show here from tech standpoint alone. There is obviously a deeper intent.
You guys are joking right? That horizon game is like 4 years old now and mogs DS2
>>735870753whatever you say bud
How the fuck do I deal with the 3rd neil fight ? I keep falling after the train chase. This shit is dragging way too long and it's getting on my nerves, this is not what I play this game for
>>735867912Kojima is like a non-conman version of elon musk
>>735871169I just had to complain like a faggot in order to succeed. Got impatient and bumrushed with a shotgun, worked well enough. The combat feels somehow worse than the first game, probably because there's so much of it
>>735871193He even had sex with Grimes!
>>735871169easiest way to kill nirvana is blast him with assault rifle grenade attachment
>>735871401ew
>>735871447That's what I tried at first but I couldn't make it work. Can't wait to see that nasty C order evaluation after the cutscenes
>>735871571>A evaluationGaymerGAWD I never want to do this again
There has to be a way to make monorails faster and not take forever
>>735872313Cheat engine speed hack may work, I don't know. Your other option is hoping for someone to make a mod
>>735871571Just get a shotgun with grenades, blow his skely partners away and shoot him in the head with the shells.Alternatively, steal a sword from the red samurai bots and wack him in the head with one.
>>735872770Only the last phase of the fight was really a problem to me. I did abuse grenades and rockets for everything before that. The few smokes I had also came in handy>swordsFugg, I have a stock of those on the magellan, I didn't think of it
> Get to Western Australia> Wow, first time I've ever played a game that depicts where I live, hope there's some nice vistas of the coast> immediately dropped into a rainy, craggy, tar covered BT hellholeReally...
>>735872862Swords are for Neil and that one peculiar MULE that thought sneaking on you with cattle prod was a good idea. For that I get Dollman whine about killing people when the people he's crying about keep spamming live frag grenades at me.Also, stock pile on rocket launchers as soon as you get them and spam it at boss fights, which the game makes abundantly clear when they show up, even with BT segments, the game telegraphs that from a mile away, so just walk around with 60+ grenades, blood bags and your own AA manpad arsenal at all times.
One of the worst games I've ever played, Kojima is a hack. Ground zeroes is his best game and that's a demo.
>>735873416The high amount of combat is kinda starting to sour my experience. Tomorrow I'll start the journey to the final knot and probably the end of the game. I hope the bosses won't make me want to slice my jugulars>the MULEWhen is he supposed to show up ? The porters posted a message on nottwitter saying someone was stealing backpacks around the time I reached heartman's lab, then nothing. I tried using his transponders to see if it triggered anything but no signs of him
Is there a way to tell when I have caught one of every animal?

It made just be a game about delivering packages but it manages to be the best and most fun one.
>>735873747>he didn't summon kheir
>>735868124The "Codec" here is just as useless as DS1's. In fact, I found those "e-mails" that people didn't read slightly more interesting because they at least showed (in theory) sources that Kojima pulled from for the game."Timefall" is explained here, but it's as deep as a puddle in regards to "why are folks under concrete okay, but the outside grows?" They say the "first thing the water hits ages but after that it's regular water" but that still doesn't explain why concrete doesn't crumble/etc. There is numerous holes that an e-mail written by someone that pointed it out to Kojima could've done more than these text-logs do.
>>735870187It'd be funny if "YOU'RE THAT NINJA" didn't show up for more than this fight, so I'm expecting them to show up.>>735870325>Higgs getting his ass beaten to the point his dickriders had to show up to shove him in the coffin>not a 9/10.You better be saying that Higgs dies to this samurai.

Waded through to that big crater beside the dowser and a fren came down from the skyDid not attack and we seemed to be chill with each other even when I was standing under it Not everything has to be violence bros Although going to the center of the crater was a waste of time but I couldnt build on it so maybe later something happens
>>735875509then how do you make deliveries
>>735875518uh maybe you should try killing it, something should have happened when you walked into the lake.
>>735875537you just fabricate another backpack at any shelter/distribution center
>>735856294just finished main story 1000% kojima was high on all drugs when making this shit
>>735860602>Graphics graphics graphicsNobody fucking cares talk about delivering you faggot.>>735860774
>>735868206This is unironically the game I want, minus the timefall degrading cargo directly.Set it in germany or some shit and make the protag just some dude without acces to an organization like bridges so he doesn't have all the advanced tech, at least not until the endgame.
did they nerf like building/using road likes because resources are so easy to come by compared to the first game??

Do you guys use the bike to traverse the map or go on foot? I feel like the game takes too much time to award you the carrier blueprint and it almost forces me to use the bike to carry more shit to level up the bunkers. I just got to Australia
>>735859545>I hope physint actually has gameplay. What a waste of a decade these games wereI'm literally the opposite, if physint doesn't have DS mechanics in it I'm gonna be really fucking disappointed. The climbing anchor would be the coolest shit ever in a stealth action game
>>735879736The carrier is relatively early into Australia. It is also at the same time you unlock the ability to fast travel with the magellan, so it is good point to start 5 starring shit.I got the carriers and am now doing Mexico before I go back.
>>735879736the bike is sam's early game wheelchair, only thing it has going for it much later on is speedyou'll get the truck pretty quickly in australia and it seems like everyone and their mother uses it, but it doesn't really become convenient to use unless you're willing to run the sticky launcher arm or rush to the climbing glovesgoing on foot comes back once you've got boost skeleton 3, stabilizer 3, jump ramps, carriers, and ziplinesat that point going on foot can actually be MUCH faster than using any vehicle
>>735879924Just got to australia, when abouts do you start getting the skeleton frames?
>>735880036the very first observatory gives you combat skeleton, which is really only good to begin to get the extra weight capacity and stabilityboost skeleton is at the dowser, which is quite a ways down the line
>>735879736in early game bike in mexico because the map is just right for it and picking up chiralium and lost cargo without stopping is massively convenient. you can stack up the cargo with early game battle skeletons and the bike won't care, just tie your pack up with a strand. however that early you'll run out of standard orders if you're planning to 5 star mexico.
Oh my fucking god dude i went back to the weapons factory and its a a spookhouse and the last giant gazer keeps getting me into the tar No grenades left and 2 bars of stamina I keep trying to hit him and sneak away but he comes at you so fast

>>735880138I did it, 6 shotgun blasts, hide, 6 more and Im like thats them all! Exit the factory and the entire fucking desert is filled with ghosts now lmao im outta here
I have no idea how to use the shotgun. It just won't fucking shoot.

should I buy this game right now?
>>735882398yes
>>735882398do whatever you want im not your dad
i'm amazed at how efficient this game is. one little loading meter when you execute the game and then when you press continue you're instantly back in the game. when you use the magellan to go from place to place (in the same map) it's instant. and then there's all the menus that have been cleaned up and streamlined it makes dropping off/taking out resources so much quicker.
>fieldwear request>put pizza chef boots in itfeelin' mischievous
>>735882398it feels satisfying to play
>>735882398I bought it but refunded because there was screen tearing i couldn't get rid of. I still have to finish the first one so I will get ds2 when it's on sale in the future. the pricetag is insane
>40 hours with no crashes or fps issues>patch 2 days ago makes it crash within 2 minutes every timeI guess im taking a break

>>735875337>dude weed lmaoGrow up lil bro.
DS3 really needs to do better than this
Building bridges, roads and major infrastructures ruins the beauty of the game.
There's some dude's shelter beneath the first set of monorail tracks and I can't seem to find a way to him.I noticed that I could manually drop from the monorail as I ride with cargo but there's no way to send the cargo that way without another major distributor/mine stop.Is it just something the game sends me to later? I'm at the northern research base just after Fragile dumps the worst name I've heard in a Kojima game thus far. The fight before hearing it was sick, though.
>>735884318
>>735874627Yeah that post was from 2022 so they definitely figured it out cause that pizza chef fight scene was incredible
>>735876430
If you entrust cargo while online, but then go offline, will it get processed using the automatic offline system at some point?I've probably got like thousands of lost cargo pending entrusted delivery that never went anywhere.
Trucks should drive like 30% faster on roads.This alone wouldve made sidequesting much more fun.
>>735884475Absolutely tone-deaf call by Kojima.Sam just shot his way out of Mexican super hell while fucking up a small strike-team of skeleton soldiers and THAT'S his fucking takeaway? He couldn't come up with ANYTHING better??
>>735883429>accidentally gave it a like by traveling underneath itthis and those chiral bridges that are just flat across the ground in front of shelters seem like unironic traps laid just to farm likes by people making contact with them
>>735884856they do if you upgrade the roads and take the spiked tires off, maybe>>735884917everyone was mentioning the silenced sniper rifle and I've got a hole in my armory, but him being the only 5 star that actually rewards physical goods is fucking weird, never even thought to expect itguess I'll go rank him up before grinding out my sniper skill
>>735884906It isnt even that effective. Just build some roads and you'll get hundreds of likes every few minutes.
beat 1, is 2 more of the same?
>>735884975Yes, but also better in every way imo.Aside from the new bike design.
>>735856294How they've done this scene running at 60 fps without tanking the framerate is beyond me, KojiPro are freaking wizards man, what an insanely talented team
>>735884975More of the same but Kojima also rightfully caved into the demands for more combat oriented encounters.If you liked 1 you'll like 2.If 1 never clicked than 2 will never click.
>>735885087>demands for more combat oriented encounterspeople wanted more of that? I skipped every encounter in my playthrough, the boss fights were meh
Set up an event, gather about 100 people in a group and have them all start the game at the same time on some pirated private server.It would be the perfect DS experience, may happen decades from now in a weird future.
>>735884475What name are they referring to in this comic?
When will I finally find a damn metals mine? I am swimming in the rest but metals are killing me
>>735885143it was mostly americans complaining so I definitely blame these fat creatures for the change

I just saw onlinefix was released for this (epic/steam shit)do I bother with this? I defo don't feel like paying 80 euros for a port, just wondering if there's actual players on this instead of like 4 faggot pirates who bothered to go through the installation mess
>>735887493I manually chose to hide other player buildings but was happily surprised to find other players still complete my entrusted deliveries, give me likes for things I build, and contribute to building highways which require a shitpile of resources. Neat.
>>735887661how many players are there on the cracked version? I don't think I understand - it doesn't use DS servers, but some free game on epic that's only used by pirates?
>>735887723Oh I misunderstood. I bought the steam version ages ago and have only started it recently on official servers. I couldn't tell you how pirate servers are but honestly you can do the whole thing single player and still have a great time. Tbf this game scratches my autism but I like being self reliant. Like I said some things require lots of resources but this game is extremely generous with supplies, and likes dont really matter that much.My advice is give it an honest shot, if you enjoy it great, if not its all good.This game won't suit everyone's tastes
>>735877610>me taking animals back to the animal shelter
What's the efficient way of dealing with chiral birds? Throwing a blood grenade at them directly seems to just always miss. Throwing it at the ground and hiding in it doesn't protect you. Is the only thing you can do is swap to the chiral hat?
>>735888995i just avoid themthe only time i had to deal with them i was in a narrow ravine and threw blood grenades at the wallsstill got hit by them tho
What does the sharing boost skill actually do? Is it only for structures or is it also for shared cargo? I'd like to use it but if my world gets cluttered with even more structures I'd pass.I'm on "Only some" and if buildings were to increase more than this then there would be no point.
>>735883429>>735884906This is your brain on reddit, must make meaningless number go up at any cost.I wish Kojima had included downvotes but these fuckers would thrive even on that, they're so desperate for attention that any interaction is good.
>>735860301i think combat is supposed to be clunky on purpose i know it sounds like cope it fucking sucks but think of how clunky the entire game is its to make the entire journey difficult
>>735885143I object to you calling americans 'people' but yes, they did for some reason. Apparently a billion generic shooters were not enough for them and they wanted this to be one too.
Fucking bats man, I just wanted to grab cargo for the inventor...
Anything for a pizza delivery
>>735875337I have memories of waking up at 2am and getting right to porting during the first game.2020 was such a simpler time.
>in the Tomorrow cutscene Sam kills robots with like 10 shots>during gameplay they easily tank 4 mags
> the chiral spider things can actually jump onto the camera if you're crouching while going through themWHY
Took someones gold boost skeleton from the shared locker, but when I loaded my save today it disappeared from my items.I guess I wasn't supposed to have it in the first place since I don't have the deluxe edition, but it would have been really annoying if I saved in the middle of hauling a bunch of cargo...
>>735875559Not him but I did kill the fren, walked to the center of the lake and nothing else happened. The achievement unlocked after killing the big fren
AND I'M DOLLMAN

>can see my own steam avatar in game>can't see literally anyone else, it's just a pic of ghost sam all distortedis this ever getting fixed, or did they just decide integrating steam's social stuff was too much effort to go to
>>735891863? it's literally the truth, straight out of Kojima's mouth
>>735859608>There are people on this basketweaving board that complained the truck could go everywhere>Truck: Actually, I can't take the mount-->REEEEEEEEEE WHY CAN'T THE TRUCK GO EVERYWHERE!?
>fingers and toes literally black from frost bite>just take a shower to solve itI remember the first time seeing Sam's black fingers wondering how the fuck he was gonna solve that. Some advanced medbay? Kill yourself and repatriate anew? Nope, shower.
>>735860774AFAIK, PhsyInt and OD are on Unreal? Decima is only used for Death Stranding and that's only because Kojima needed an engine and support fast, and Sony offered.
>>735892858I hope he has a truck with a claw in the next game, with a mission to free the a stuck truck. And if you get that claw truck stuck, then you need to build a crane or some shit.
>>735890757ngl I'm glad I didn't buy the deluxe or preorder. There's so much clutter you will never use once you start accumulating unlocks and there's no way to individually pin or hide stuff.
>>735865901Reedus, Seydoux, and Fanning (oh and HI RAINY!) were the 4 that did their voice-acting. I think even Mads and Tommy did in 1. But George and Refen didn't.So they could get them to redo motion capture or voices, easily.I think the real answer is just that Reedus plays the character as he did Daryl: Some loner that people thought was badass, so he tries to be "stoic" but it comes off robotic here.At least his crying here was better than the Walking Dead.
>>735866056>The balloon bt area was good but not respawning for a whileThey respawn at night AFAIK. Not in massive numbers, but there is generally 2-3 in those areas. You can get 6 if you give it a bit. So I think if you sleep in the shelters once you 5-star them you can pass time 2-3 days (in-game) and go out to find six.Not that it matters since any loud noises will cause them to run, so you're better off just grenading them twice and getting 2-3 of them.
Why are there no female porters?
>>735880479E-mail Nixxes about it.

>>735893249what are you trying to fight? all i ever took with me was the tranq pistol and 3 lvl 2 assault riflesthe rest i would loot from enemies
>>735892907Shower probably has magic chiral medicine mumbo jumbo in there, why not. I remember even early on you'd get notifications that showering had healed Sam's sunburn.
>>735893301Going to terminal fort knot. Truck got fucking destroyed almost immediately on the very first way station, this is not looking good bros...

>>735893428You are overthinking it bro.
>>735890117Even a bolo to the head takes like 2 shocks. It's crazy how spongey enemies are.
>>735858138The kaiju fights were some of the only interesting additions the second game had. Like everything else felt like retreading the same notes of the first game
>>735893208Lousisters... our response?
>>735893249>picrel>>735893394Yeah it's probably written in the corpus that I'm not ever going to read (does anyone actually read through all that shit?)Also I think the light switch mechanism for the shower is funny. One temperature for each, hot or cold, no in between. Don't like it? Fuck you then.
>>735891749BOSS, GET DOWN! That's an enemy gunship! A SINGLE BURST from its machine gun can CUT A MAN IN HALF! Stay low and crawl along the ground. That should enable you to sneak past enemies.
>>735893428Bring as many rocket launchers as you can.
>>735893208By law of the land they are forced to be repeatedly impregnated in order to sustain humanity, so they are forbidden from doing porting work. Here's a picture from the corpus showing a Drawbridge security officer attempting to prevent a female porter from making a delivery.
>Ending shows Loumorrow going into plate gateWhere do you think she's gonna end up? India maybe? And instead of avoiding getting grabbed by BTs it's just avoiding being grabbed by Indian men. And it turns out literally nothing has changed for India, it's completely the same before and after.
>>735894263the globe the president showed to sam had a plategate in europe so lets hope she goes there
Was there a single "crikey" in this entire game?
>Hey Sam we're all going to stay back here on the ship while you do all the workWas there not one person who could've swung by an outpost instead of me? Hell Fragile, Tomorrow, and Rainy all went on their girl power trip to get materials, they could have swung by an outpost on the way probably. They even bragged that they're stronger than me. Also why'd they sit on the plushies instead of the chairs in the back? There were clearly 6 folding chairs in the back of the truck. And even bigger question is why did they not give them to me afterwards to sniff?
And here I've been wondering who would voice Pekora. That's cool.

>>735895971>lolno mech that can summon riders appears directly after screenshot>get hit ONCE>unable to get up and get chained until death>didn't save>have to do it all over againAre you fucking kidding me
>>735895971I can't tell, is that past the motorcycle mech spot? Cause otherwise you're in for a surprise. I died three times to that thing, and the fourth time I just ran away and shot rockets at it.
I seriously hope that you people play with your own custom playlist in the background while playing this game.
>>735896347Nah, I want to hear the environment. It's peaceful. Or at least it would if DOLLMAN WOULD SHUT THE FUCK UP.
>>735893249That lvl2 extra ammo pouch gives me enough ammo to take out any bandit outpost with only 1 shotgun and a pistol. In bossfights the game showers you with infinite ammo anyway so it doesnt matter.
>>735896265This is the spot. I started spamming rockets but he summoned them anyway and I got ran over. I can say with certainty now that TTW combat is way overtuned, so much bullshit I feel like I'm playing another game altogether. It doesn't feel like the struggle I felt in DS1 on very hard during some boss fights, it feels tedious.>>735896347If you mean the in game one I don't because it still gets interrupted by just walking near a camp or BT area, or just menuing, and that pisses me off. I only use it when I'm sure it won't get cucked.
I dont understand how people can stand to use trucks, they are so fucking slow. I know its not, but it feels like its even slower than just walking.
>>735856294Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2 gameplay>seven minute cutscene>press up for twenty five seconds>six minute cutscene>press up for thirty two seconds>four minute cutscene>press up for twenty three seconds>six minute cutscene>press up for thirty six seconds>seven minute cutscene>press up for twenty nine seconds>three minute cutscene>press up for thirty seven seconds>five minute cutscene>press up for twenty eight seconds>six minute cutscene>press up for thirty two secondsfuck off with that shit

What the fuck do people actually want in these supply requests? I mean obviously next to the auto pavers, people want ceramics and metals. But what about the weapons? I just see a supply request in the middle of nowhere, what do you need? Rockets? A machine gun? Shotgun? Tranq sniper? And the equipment supply request? What equipment? A ladder? Climbing anchor?Also I had no idea how these things work. I put one down for a weapon, cause I was at a bandit camp and low on ammo. Waited 5 minutes, then just went back to the distribution center to fabricate what I want.
>>735896609Useful when you have to go and build roads honestly, all that ceramics won't be carried by myself
>>735896730It'd be cool if there was some connection system for communities, like for this one. So we all could be more connected to each other more so than other strangers.>CreamDreamer69 has liked your structure

>>735897223the tar currents work in mysterious ways...
>>735897323Cases like this also happened back on PS5. There's an implementation problem.I think it's the system's fault, like bridge links, like aid request, they don't function as expected.Even back in DS1 the player links didn't work that well.
>>735896780Wait until you unlock the Tar Specialist's..arcane item transit sign.
>>735856294are the boss fights at the 'to the wilder' also bruteforceable? Went with brutal as didn't want to deal with bosses and planned to just lower difficulty for boss fights, but if you can just 'wake up' and continue might need to restart on wilder, deliveries and bandits on brutal are kinda easy
>>735898006I assume respawns work just like they do on normal, but bosses mostly oneshot you and have a ton of health. If you are playing offline you may run out of ammo if you aren't prepared.
>>735896780there's an APAS perk that automatically places aid requests for players, if you see shit like horizontal travel next to a river, fieldwear request right ouside of a shelter, weapon request right outside of an enemy camp, or materials request outside of a paver/tracklayer, chances are it was autogenerated as they drove pastthe entire system is fucking retarded, at most you should be looking for very isolated aid requests in the middle of nowhere, and even they seem to last forever so who knows if the person gets it when they need itI just put pizza chef shoes in the fieldwear requests for a free 200+ likes from the retard that picks it up>>735897956is this what causes items to just suddenly spawn out of thin air and fly into your face?

>>735898304The only bits of equipment that I've actually been glad to receive are the ones in boss battles. I don't walk around with 4 rocket launchers on the off chance I might encounter a boss. Outside of that, not having what you need is just a planning issue, since you can see everything except bosses battles on the map.
>Bridge placed right in a tight passage forcing you to walk over itDishonest porters...
>>735898272you don't get the tar creatures throwing new stuff for you?
>>735857946This.This game is proof people really have become dumb as fuck post covid, in fact, I think covid vaxx removed critical thinking somehow. The story or 2 is so fucking awful.
Why aren't there no real Australians in the game like picrel? Also why are the mountains full of Indians?
>>735899339>Why aren't there noExcuse my retard grammar please
>>735892571it's funny because the game got worse reviews in Europe, france in particular.>>735899339The jeet and his son are a movie director who saar love kojima very much saar, love metal gear saar send quiet boba and vagene, vishnu bless.
>>735899262No. Again, I assume that'a an offline thing, not specific to the wilder, but someone may correct me if I'm wrong.
>>735873274At least you don't have to deal with passed out abbos in the roads you build.
>>735899262this still happens on TTW while online
>>735883429Just dismantle dumb shit.
>>735899285Yeah but it's carried by the fighting game style boss fight, where even if you miss by a mile you still connect, there's only 2 different moves you can do, and it controls worse than Tekken 1.Kojima fans are mentally ill.
>>735857946You gotta allow for coincidences sometimes. I think Kojima was within his coincidence budget.
I only just realized that you need to press buttons to make the zip line curve, and i noticed this at the same time i realized your chiral bandwidth counts up not down. I'm gonna need to replan like my whole zip line network because it's inefficient and eating all of my bandwidth.
>>735901502bring 480 special alloy and 240 chems to upgrade it to tier 2 and gain 50m of range, and it feels like the object avoidance can curve a lot more when you do that toopretty gay that the ones that get spawned in by other people just have the default setting and don't even attempt to link up by detecting if the other settings might work, though
>>735901502dude are you my doppelganger? fuck off.
should i boughted this or crimson desert? DS1 was ok but i wasn't blown away by it
I still have the free copy of DS1 I got from the epic store years ago that I haven't touched. Should I bother playing it or should I just go and priate the second one? I don't give a fuck about the retarded story, I just want a walking sim.
>>735902106I've completed both. DS2 is virtually the same game, but with a much longer, meandering story. The ending is marginally satisfying, but the story itself is dull.>>735902196DS1 is a better walking sim, DS2 has A LOT more forced action.
>>735901502>>735901990Did you silly fuckers click past the woman telling you that "now the zip lines can curve!" ? You have only yourselves to blame. You bring shame upon Hideo Kojima's beautiful videogame.
>>735902532>Did you silly fuckers click past the woman telling you that "now the zip lines can curve!" ?You mean how I've clicked past every single conversation and most cutscenes? Well, yeah.
>>735902532
>>735902598People like you are why I have to put up with Dollman telling me the most obvious shit every 30 seconds.
>>735903013Dollman is terrible, he is the exact kind of character I hate. It was fun throwing him at the wall to make him shut up, though. If I want the story, I'll read the codex or watch a summary later. The game's goal-chasing structure made me want to ignore the story entirely.
>>735903013I'm like 99% certain the one to actually blame for that is god of war, and kojima seeing how they handled Mimir and saying to himself "this was my idea, I thought of it first...I will call it...strand-pocket-narrator..."The game has plenty of "HOLD UP, KIDDO, LOOKS LIKE YOU FORGOT THIS" popups and UI elements, they could've easily covered his role with just those.
This game almost entirely removed red parts of the rivers. Don't even appear during 'flooding' in most of them.
>>735856294They really fucked this game up by not having a meaningful end game. You get so many gear and weapons at the end that they needed to create a system you could use them in

What does this work on? Spears, stun nades, anything else have an electrical area of effect?
This picture showcases the issue people have with the map in DS2.Look at this incredible cliff and look at the path to the right, the entire map is build like this.Can players not be trusted with anything? It's developer cowardice if you ask me, this path represents -fear-
>>735902598I was wondering why every zipline I've come across has been straight instead of gay. I thought it was a some glitch between player structures.
>>735907415There is definitely plenty of these convenient slopes cutting through mountains etc. Doesn't help with truck meta.
>>735900337Are you serious? Besides what I pointed outou have the whole Lucy, Neil, Cliff which is coincidence after coincidence.
luv me bridgessimple as
>my only two signs are at the tallest peak in the game and right before the crater>no one has interacted with either of them even once
>>735907780I think that's just intentional from how they're shared
How often do you shower, /v/?
>>735908410there's a possibility that having each spawned zipline check its surroundings for every zipline it can reach, followed by checking all four settings to see if one might connect, would've added some hiccups to loading in areas, but I really don't think it could've been enough to warrant not including it as a feature
>>735908742Every time that I come back. I did a long back packing trip in Spain one time. Like 8 hours of hiking each day. Taking a shower, feeling clean, and having a nice beer was the best. I want that for Sam too. But too bad Sam doesn't have time fall beer anymore.
>>735908240i HATE using them on foot cause those fuckass terminals always pop out and trip you
>flying nigger raias appear out of nowhere>have no weapons>call for help>phantom sams throw me shotgunsT-thanks. I somehow managed with the guitar and by summoning every single BT I could just so that they could draw attention, because they didn't land a single hit. I got hit once and I am now cucked out of a TTW delivery rank. Sick design, fucking stealth bombers
>>735856294Death Stranding is honestly one of my favorite games of all time, so I am enjoying DS2, but it honestly feels like a worse game than 1. The atmosphere of the first one is vastly superior, and it focused more on traversal. For some reason 2 just decided to double down on the mediocre combat which wasn’t the strongpoint of 1.Like I said, I’m still enjoying 2, but it’s just not as good.
So why did Neil instantly turn into a gazer?
>>735910424>For some reason 2 just decided to double down on the mediocre combat which wasn’t the strongpoint of 1. I blame this entirely on americans >>735892571
>>735866715
>>735910495clearly an innocent shipment, just as innocent as those rubber training batons for The Motherhood
>>735910424I agree on the combat but i still prefer Death Stranding 2. The map is much more fun and varied and the story has been much better paced, so far.In DS 1 after you met Heartman if felt like every cutscene was at least one hour long of nonstop exposition. The ending was straight up a fucking movie.
>>735910445mexicans have a weak soul so his Ka moved on a lot faster making is Ha implode within a few hours
Not my problem.
>>735910424I think DS2 is the superior game gameplay wise. They both have pros and cons that are up to personnal preferences. I agree about the combat and there's way too much of it. Without spoiling, I started my journey to terminal knot this afternoon and it's mostly been fight after fight after fight. I'm playing on TTW and this is fucking exhausting. I'm fully immersed in that regard>>735910772>smuggles his own soul accross the beach
>>735910424I don't really mind combat aside from not having enough defensive optionsI think the difference with 2 is more of Australia being a continuous map so you can find your way around something or they didn't add as many geographical features in the first place for whatever reason
>Sam was the first person to ever kill a BT>there has been no communication between continents up until this point>no one in australia is surprised that Sam is killing BTs>in fact, they've just received MP rounds effective against BTs from Mexico, and none of them are going to say a word about ithuh?
>>735910772isn't he italian?
>>735911227The actor, sure. Not the character.
>>735911018it's been like 11 months since the first game ended and the plate gate showed up and wasn't there another expedition or something to set things up which is probably how half the first game's cast moved there so the rest of the aussies should be used to things by now?
>>735911659>wasn't there another expedition or somethingThere was.

>>735911917>CROIKEY! WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT BUGGER!The BT Hunter.
>>735911836bridges are for vehicles anon
>>735885037It's insane to me how good the game looks and how smooth it runs. I had everything maxed out and it ran totally smooth without a single drop.I was also amazed how fast it tool to get into the game when you start it up. There's almost no loading at all and then you get to a game that looks, dare I say, "next gen" compared to everything else out right now.Fuck this game is so good man
>>735911654But the dude talks italian mid fights.
>>735912278Deicma, despite Guerilla's games on it (>hire fans lol) is as good as the Fox Engine. I partially credit Kojima for hiring folks that know what the fuck they're doing with game engines.
Am I missing something? I could have sworn DS2 came out forever ago
>>735912726No, it just released last Thursday.
>>735911917>probably would've worked the animal shelter
>>735911836LMAO. I have the same thought with dismantling them.That last anon that asked me which Bridge near the Pizza Chef it was. I finally dismantled that fucker when the one side (not facing the Chef) wouldn't let me do it. I have NO IDEA WHY it wouldn't let me do it from that side, but the side facing the Chef and hitting the "rock" it was going over/merging with let me.
>>735912726it released out of early access
>>735893087The Deluxe/Preorder is just patches anyway. Sony's offerings are worse than 505s, which is crazy. 505 did the bare minimum, but at least they threw in a mini-artbook with the "collectors" edition.
>>735893208Motherhood explains that in mid/late game.
>>735896530>Not just Shock Be On Look Out for the porter that knocks you out and intrudesISHYGDDT.jpgShock Bolo beats all.
>>735913156so, what is the explanation?>just play the game!no, I won't.
>>735901502If you didn't know this already, there is a tool tip that'll explain but: Ziplines can connect to the monorail's "zipline" structures. Plan your ziplines around the Monorails and you can save some bandwidth by 350 metering from certain "spines" on the "backbone" of the Monorails.
>>735913239>He doesn't own the gameThen you don't deserve the explanation, Anon. Why are you in the thread?
>>735907415It is egregious, but if there's a road up the mountain, people will use it no matter how far away it is. The only way to "fix" this is to make shelters with absolutely no roads up, so you have to scale, use ladders and whatnot, but that's obviously not the game Kojiuma wanterd to make.
climbing ropes should have worked both ways, hook into the ground for going down and hook gun for going up. but even then there would prob ably be an upgrade for a chiral pulley that pulled you up/down automatically anyway.
is there any deeper meaning to why Tomorrow won't wear shoes, I finished the game
>>735914032it's for me, just like rainy being pregant
Why am I so addicted to this game when I had to push myself to even finish the original?
I find Death Stranding and Returnal similar in way that I cant really describe, they scratch the same gamer spot for me, how would you explain it?
>reach dowser's friend>suddenly indian music>turns out its some india movie director i never heard about
>>735915673isn't it the director of RRR?
The DHV magellan was a mistakeshould have had mountain climbing mechanics (and more mountain climbing)
>>735911003Dollman kept ripping me out of the immersion. He single handedly ruined the game for me. I hope someone makes a mod to remove him. Maybe I can still salvage some immersion magic with another playthrough after like a year to give myself time to forget about the story.
best way to deal with giga nigga ghost mechs? this one motherfucker took a whole grenade launcher to face and still needed more
>>735910424So, I think focusing on traversal is the right move, but combat in 2 is so god damn fucking fun that I DON'T want it *out*, just less of it.2 feels like it makes it way too easy in a lot of ways unless you actively handicap yourself
>>735913239>>so, what is the explanation?rape
>>735913340>but that's obviously not the game Kojiuma wanterd to make.i dont see why not. remember that one prepper in the canyon in ds1?

in photo mode it has an option to turn chiral pet on or off, does that mean i can bring the cat with me eventually or is it seriously just for photos in the magellan?

>>735914810they're what AAA gaming would look like if they had actual game designers and directors making *a video game* instead of slop or cinematic garbageyes Death Stranding is cinematic and has cinematic cutscenes but you still have a huge gameplay density that is pure videogame ass bullshit videogames

>>735918673thats just how it is
>>735915894I died a few times to lmao dark souls boss samurai and dollman's lines during the fight are the one thing that enraged me, besides the usual autist anger of failing at video games. I don't need to be told that I can do this or that, there's literally a pop up with the controls as the fight starts. We need a mod to make his lines silent during gameplay, shit is insanely frustrating
>>735917582Keep playing, there's an explanation to it, don't worry it's nothing bad
>>735916171If he wanted to, he could've had main game areas you could do however you like and optional areas with some gimmicks like only walking, lots of tar, or idk. And all we have is one is one prepper where you park your vehicle on top of his shelter and climb down a ladder. I guess Meteostation is also kinda like that with lots of fallen you can't easily traverse even on a trike.
>>735918673I see mine and my Steam friend that I did a Strand contract with
oh fuck off
Can I play ds1 with spotify on the PS4 yet?
When are we getting OST volume 2 ?
Holy kino
>>735920320Daily reminder: This game lost the Art Direction award at TGAs to a UE5 copy & paste asset flip, journalism has become such a sad fucking joke, you should never listen to journalists ever again, they all don't know wtf they are doing anymore, the good journos all left this sinking ship a long time ago
Timing of an avalanche couldn't be any better. I also was hoping to wash the jeet, but he was unconscious. Well, I guess it's realistic then.

>>735920320Even the moon...
>>735920860not playing DS online is basically missing half of the point of the gamejust get it from a key reseller. I got it from one because holy fuck I'm not playing 10% of the minimun monthly wage in my country for this game
>>735918947He was stilling telling me how to kill him as he was dying lol>notice how he leaves himself open after a big attack Sam
>>735920860pirated it and played through once, then boughtonce you get to the end of the story there is very little reason to keep going unless you have the online component
I know Pekora is kind of a meme but I do think if there was an apocalyptic event where a lot of people just had 3D printed shelters scattered around the world and they had to interact with random unknown outsiders, I'm pretty sure WAY more of them would be using some sort of avatar instead of their real scans. Like at least some bitmoji thing instead of just "hey here's exactly how I look in person thanks random guy at my doorstep". If Kojima was younger I'm 100% sure at least one of the preppers would greet you in a furry VRchat rig.Imagine you arrive at "the nuclear scientist" and pic related greets you
I just spent nine consecutive hours building roads. I don’t even use vehicles, I just like building the roads. I think my brain is melting

The Man Who Delivers
>>735916115What do you like about combat and what difficulty are you on? Because on wilder going guns blazing didn't feel like an option even in Mexico, enemies just did too much damage and I either stealth killed most/all of them or cheesed them around corners
>BLOOP>...boom...>[angry doll voices]
>>735925673get out of here porter
Do you play with Lou as you did in DS1, after the you leave Mexico.Since then I just don't care about interacting with her at all anymore.
>>735925710I played DS1 and went with Brutal because I was afraid that To the wilder would be stupid difficulty with bosses and elite enemies one shotting you, making it very frustating and not that rewarding. I was right about that according to steam forums, so I'll keep it as is. It's still not easy, on brutal you can get slapped if you're not careful but I'd imagine I'd be doing WAY less combat if I was on TTW because I'm dogshit at stealth. I like the combat because its very satisfying and you have tons of weapons and tools to use. Grenades, all sorts of guns, a lot of melee weapons, dodging, making enemies lose track of you with smoke and stealth, dropkicking and mobility, vehicles. All of it topped of with really fun animations and the combat gloves are sick to look at in action. It feels like the game's controls just... happen to fit perfectly to let you do this crazy action combat without compromising everything else you can do. You can go slow AND fast when you need to.
>>735925981the moment you get vehicles and options that make her go happy you basically dont need to look at her anymore. Its not DS1 where she's way more important because she can die easily if you fuck up in succession. Here she just reminds you she exists when she starts crying but you can just ignore it because like most things you do make her happy again so whatever
>>73592130810%? stop flexing nigga it's 25% here
I genuinely want to ask Kojima what the fuck was he thinking with the coffin. That's a "you beat the game now go finish loose ends" type of tool. Its easily one of the most efficient things in the fucking game
>>735926171oh I said monthly, I meant minimum YEARLY wage
>>735926192No it isn't because its useless outside of the Chiral Network which you haven't finished until end game, PLUS it costs resources you have to farm BTs to use constantly
>>735926094I don't mean gameplay wise mechanics, I mean just interact with her while roaming around doing nothing. I remember I would make a point to stop every moment or so to sooth and wiggle her around even if she was ok, I never killed anyone in the first game (intentionally) because I genuinely didn't want to upset her.Now I just don't care anymore, she's not there anymore.
>>735925981You can, but its less important.
>>735926238Try paying 1/3 of your monthly wage for it...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWHY ARE METALS SO RARE AND ALSO THE MOST NEEDED FOR ROADSWHERE IS THE DAMN METAL MINE?A FUCKING CHEMICAL MINE BUT NOT METAL? IF THE METAL MINE APPEARS AT THE END AFTER ALL THE ROADS I SWEAR KOJIMA I WILL BE MAD
So when does the nightmare thing happen ? After tomorrow asks the nightmare question. I'm past the end now and nothing happened.>>735926006>I was afraid that To the wilder would be stupid difficulty with bosses and elite enemies one shotting youThat is correct. I finished the story earlier today and everything from getting to terminal fort knot to the final fights left me mentally exhausted. Some fights are fine on TTW while others can be cock and balls torture. I expected it to be like DS1 hardest difficulty, which was fine to me. I would zoom into MULE and terrorist camps beating everyone up without using stealth, while danger was still present I wasn't at risk of getting one tapped unless I made a retarded mistake. In DS2 I don't even attempt it anymore because I know it'll only be frustration. I enjoy sniping so there's at least that, but the lack of lethal sniper rifle greatly saddens me.
>>735929710>metal mineIn the deep end of the desert, do u rike ?
>>735929710ceramics are way more hard to come by. the mine gives you way too little
>>735929710the chemical mine is the absolute worst when it's in the middle of an enemy camp and is somehow the only mine for it when there's alternatives for other materials
>roadcucks
i wish they'd updated the movement model in literally even a single way
Wasn't the story of DS 1 already pretty much wrapped up? How did they manage to come up with a sequel to that?
did kojimer ever reveal his first draft for the story?
>>735930034Online the ceramics mine gives you usually 1000 for free from others then another 1200 for 800 crystals.
>>735931175by retconning everything about DS1 unironically
these game sare boring as shit
Is there a full version of amekara nijie around
>>735931175you still need to connect the rest of the world after the first game
never thought to check the magellan for shared cargo only to find a bazillion resources, guns, fieldwear, tools, etc.damn
>>735930034they aren't that hard to come by but the fact that roads and its upgraded version both requires ceramic makes it much more demanding than anything

Are these games actually fun? I play all sorts of games but I need something relaxing for a while since life has been more stressful than usual and I'm not having fun with harder games.
>>735934297Just entrust it at any terminal, it'll get delivered automatically while you're busy doing other stuff and when you go to the shelter to deliver it'll be included.
>>735936792Oh. Thought it would just give me the deducted likes like a normal entrust cargo. Nice, I'll do that.
>>735936558Yes its quite relaxing unless you have little patience and feel the need to rush all your deliveries or make them efficient as fast as possible. If you take your time and focus more on each journey as its own thing, it can be very relaxing.
>>735937296Thanks, I'm a journey type of player so it should be fun.
>>735936792i was about to come say this because it just happened to me, i left this emu at a shelter and it got delivered next time i came to animal shelter.
ty for being considerate
how to get combat and stealth higher? they barely move no matter how many dudes i kill or sneak past.
the actual shock when I finally see some likes on my ziplines.
>>735938316Standard orders to eliminate some bandit fuck. Then just tranq everyone full stealth without getting spotted. Usually gives you a nice chunk.
>buy DS2 without having played DS1>get to australia>okay nothing makes any sense I guess I'm still missing ton of context despite the recap>buy and play DS1>the story is still complete fucking nonsenseKOJIMAAAAA
Heads up for anyone on PS5 in America. It finally happened. Best Buy has it for $30.

https://youtu.be/jWR2pkfwfuADoes this song return in 2? I don't normal like BMTH but this one is a banger.
>>735943868I knew Die-Hardman was in into the fuckery somehow, honestly I thought he was the red samurai, not Charlie. The did try to pin either of them as Charlie.The whole Lou affair I saw coming a mile away, minus the biological daughter bit, that caught off guard.
>>735856294How's the game for those running at 1080p with rtx 4060/70? Is the performance great?
>>735916171In today's scenario a player is met with a terrible cliff utterly barring his way. He can:- Set up a couple of ropes.- Build a very long ladder.- Build a chiral bridge, ziplines, a jump ramp, a cannon.- Use a sticky gun to pull his packages one at a time or do it by hand.- Drop his backpack to perform any of the above with ease.- Rely on a glide jetpack. Throw the packages and take the damage.- Find a post box to fabricate a ladder if by miracle he doesn't have any tools.- Create a tool request and wait for tools to magically appear right here and there.- Even porters out in the wild will give him a pack of ropes for free.The idea of a player not being able to perform one of these things is downright unrealistic.What is this psychosis? This political statement is too extremist for me, i don't follow.
>>735944013performance is great as long as you have a decent CPU

>>735944041Ryzen 7 3800x?
>>735944076
>>735944096at 1080p you should be fine, at least.
>>735944013I've played on 1080p, on a 12600k/5070. Managed to get 70 to 80 with everyone on Ultra and RT on High. With framegen that goes to 120 flat, with non-noticeable delay or anything.You might get 60 to 70, try lowering or removing RT, it takes a lot of frame to have it on. which doesn't make a ridiculous effect on game, since the game has phenomenal baked lighting already.
In Slovakia we have tradition of porters taking cargo to refill stocks in the cottages. You can volunteer as well and take cargo on your back
>>735944353sounds neat
>>735944010when Sam pointed out it has to be the UCA funding Drawbridge I figured it has to be himapparently he refuses to use any other voice too
>>735915673
>>735944417I never go to pick Deadman, went straight for Lokne then him, because I thought that it would be him. I figure Die-Hardman, the former special op that served with Madsen, would be the kino samurai.
>>735916089Time freezing cryptobiotes and several grenades to the face, if you're lacking rocket launchers.
>>735916089fun fact: the ingame wiki entry usually tells you their weak points
>>735944156I think you're confusing civil engineers with construction workers.
>>735944552(Not spoiler cause its the near the beginning of the game) I still don't understand why Charlie taking on Diehardmans voice was supposed to make Sam trust Charlie. That'd be like me saying to any of you "Oh you can't trust me? How about I talk in falsetto and pretend to be your mother?" My theory that keeps getting reinforced is that Sam has brain damage from being repatriated so many times, making him mentally retarded. And they sent Dollman along with him too. Like a some Of Mice and Men situation.>Dollman? Dollman? Tell me 'bout the rabbits Dollman>Uh, yes Sam. When you connect all of Australia, you'll get to live at the animal sanctuary and pet rabbits all day!
>>735884975it’s worse than the first one but still good, you have to fight more often and the soundtrack isn’t as memorable and the new maps are very flat
>>735944828kek, the way he behave around the ship, I'm certain of that. Constant repatriation and prolonged exposure to chiral crystals melts your brain, just look at Tomorrow, just as brain damaged as Sam.They should give Dollman a price, he tard wrangle Sam hard on this one. Pity the doll.
