Sam, it's Die Hardman. Chiral desity is building in the Death Stranding thread. Check the order terminal for details before you head out. You can click reply or the thumbnail of the first image with LMB to open the thread. And Sam, be careful out there. We're counting on you.
I love Die-Hardman
Hmm today I will build a generator on prepper territory.
Sam, i'm going to remind you of the basic mechanics of the game even though you are 20 hours in. For example, make sure not to damage your packages!
>>736585386I will throw this fragile cargo from the highest point of the mountains and there is nothing you can do about it
>>736585712Boss, that was a child.
I'm getting a little tired of the cute women doing cute things shit in DS2. Seems overindulgent. Did nobody rein Kojumbo in?
*don’t be so serious starts playing*
>>736585764Just wait until they "Girls get it done!" it. Hell, just wait for the "Strong female smirk as she takes over a man's role," at the very end. I can deal with a lot of the Kojima, "It's just a game guys!" stuff, but he definitely drank the Hollywood, "Women are always the primary victims of war and reality, but we are also super strong," bullshit in this one.
For some reason I felt so much worse for the Hydrologist in DS2 compared to Heartman, having to projectile vomit every 21 minutes sucks ass, would she have to feed herself via a intravenous bag or something since she's just throw up whatever she ate before it could pass through her stomach? How does she even sleep without aspirating?

No, I don’t wanna go rest in the Magellan. I wanna keep building roads. Let me keep building the fucking roads. I have to build more roads. You don’t understand, I must keep building roads. I have to build roads, okay? There’s no two ways about it, I have to keep building roads. >>736586379This but unironically

>>736586775You can with some ziplock bags and a little creativity
Assault Rifle or Machine Gun?They seem to have almost the same purpose but one is better
>>736586863Doesn't the AR have better fire rate? I liked the MG for general use but AR is great to burst DPS something down
>>736587020MG reloads slow AF also. And it is it me or does the lightweight AR have more climb than the regular version? Ludo kino if true
>>736587020AR fires faster I'm not sure why you would use a machine gun. I use AR for everything (actually stun bola gun)
>>736587101Does MG have grenade launchers at some point?

She's so fucking hot bros.
Imagine if Sam stayed with Lou off screen and we played as Neil instead.
>>736586537I know heartmans would probably be worse in reality, even if it was somehow viable to keep reviving someone from heart failure, but in DS1 at least its portrayed so casually like its just him passing out or something, its only really in DS2 that we see the process actually take a physical toll on him, and even then its apparently only because he was straining himself more than normal for a while.
>>736586190Doesn't vomiting often fuck up your teeth as well?
>>736587632Yep, stomach acid is pretty strong and your teeth are pretty weak.
>>736587570And there were no box deliveries and it was all stealth infiltration missions in a variety of scenarios and settings with a cast of wacky and creative villains.
do level 8 gate quakes constantly happen around the lake/architect/f5 all the time or is it a story mode thing? it took me forever to build the monorail to f5 because i had to kill catchers over and over and over

>>736587727>One black dude = woke
>>736587714Everyone knows that. It's a neat way to kill BTs early.
>>736587678I was so ready for them to just give me a box when this happened
>>736587709You mean the tar lake beside the mountain? They always show up there, at least until you catch them.

>>736587889Is there a Kippah aswell?
>>736587709They always happen. You get something after finishing the story that will cuck them out of respawning, but until then you're stuck with it constantly happening>>736587847They still show up even after you catch them

>>736583861Sam, it's Slim Fatman here. Are you eating your cryptobiotes to keep your blood replenished in a firefight?
>>736587782>One black gay guy doing several minutes long unskippable gay dances>One strong girlboss black lesbian>Seven black side characters you do wage slavery for>Seven Kamala quotes>Literal globo homo wagie simulatorWhy would you lie about the woke stuff?
Just beat DS2. The cutscenes and vibe of the game are great, but the gameplay is so bad. It has potential but it's just designed so poorly. The roads/monorails/mine stuff is just completely pointless. The level design lets you just drive around almost everything besides the bosses. Even in the last mission I just drove around all of the enemies on the bridge and the game just continues and despawns them all. The game would have been so much better if the final mission was to build the bridge to the final area be getting thousands of the materials from the mines basically forcing you to rebuild the infrastructure around Australia.
>>736588025> wagie simulatorImplies that Sam is actually getting paid with anything other than likes.
>>736588025>One black gay guy doing several minutes long unskippable gay dancesHe's not gay>One strong girlboss black lesbianShe isn't a lesbian>Seven black side characters you do wage slavery forWage slavery?>Seven Kamala quoteswhat?>Literal globo homo wagie simulatorDude stop screeching random shit and go back to /pol/ you faggot.
Clarify something for a poorfag who can't play the game yet.I've been watching a few videos of the Neil Vana boss fights, these are different people playing the game and every single time they're packing full stacks of cargo on their backs, with no attempt of leaving the cargo behind to fight, why is that? no backpack pouches? just normies who don't care?
>>736588193The times you fight Neil are in dream sequences where you are trapped in an arena. So you have to bring it with you until the fight is over
Chronobiotes made every boss fight hitless once you unlocked them. Not even remotely balanced. You can pick up like 180 within 15 mins or something. And Sam eats one at a time, basically infinite slowmo
I started just straight up taking my backpack off. I’ll go someplace safe that thief won’t take my shit and just leave my backpack there. The Magellan is a good place to leave it since it teleports around in the Magellan as it moves. I’ll leave my backpack there and just go about my business. It’s a tad inconvenient sometimes but I just like how Sam looks without the backpack.
Design wise, which one of the new cryptobiotes is your favorite ? For me it's necrobiotes and adult cryptobiotes>I can be yuor angle>or your devil
>>736588580What business are you even doing without a backpack?
>>736588193I think in the heat of the moment they just forget to sort Sam’s cargo properly. Keep in mind that streaming hogs up 500 of your brain cells, making streamers seem stupider than they actually are
>>736588147>Guys a guy doing a Britney Spears dance covered in oil is totally normal>She's not a lesbian she just has a girl that she lives with, and literally never so much as smiles at a guy>Women are the hardest hit by war>>736588142>Guys it's not wage slavery he doesn't even get paid It's regular slavery. That's not better.
>unlock missile strikes This game really is Phantom Paint 2.0
>>736588810is vtmb2 worth playing if i never played the original?
DS3 should have roaming bandits who can sticky gun your cargo
>>736588635>no backpack>truck full of cargo>only lethal weaponryYep. Gaming time.
>>736589002Its literally just metal gear solid at this point with some deliveries thrown in. DS1 at least felt like its own game with some lite metal gear elements thrown in. But now it seems Kojima has gone right back to making what he always has.The whole ghost mechs are literally just introduced out of nowhere in the lore so Kojima can do his robot mechs again.Still, I like the game a lot. Currently on 263/400 TTW.
>>736589089DS3 should have a pvp capture the flag gamemode with melee only where the flag is a piece of cargo and you can build PCC structures on the arena
Never played MGS. Which MGS has the closest gameplay to DS?
>>736583861Finally finished.You know Tommy had fun with the whole thing.There are some asspulls to fix some clear rewrites, but I still enjoyed the game.I gotta put Mr. Impossible on the board, and then mop up the last 5-6 preppers I have to 5-star, but that'll be easier now that I don't have the DHV stop-starting itself to the games story pacing.>>736585712I did that with the shitty request-delivery shit I couldn't entrust. JUST ENTRUST YOUR FUCKING CARGO, DUMBASSES.
>>736587727Ok, thanks for the blogpost. How do we unsubscribe?
>>736589364MGSVYou can feel MGSV even in DS1, it was practically the same team making those games. They only switched engine.
be honestwhenever you give sam a drink, do you also take a sip of whatever you're drinking while playing the game? I do that, hehe
>>736589674When I feel like taking a break I let him rest and walk away and do something else and come back. Kino. I miss being able to sleep in realtime from 1.
>>736589674Yes and when Sam pisses in the game I piss on the controller in real life just to add extra realism
>>736589674I am always sipping energy drinks due to my crippling addiction, so yes
I'm 30 hours into DS2 and I don't know what the story is and I don't care. I just enjoy making deliveries. Higgs is back and gayer than ever is all I've gathered.
>>736589756Did you not play 1? Did you fall alseep?
>>736583861what's lmb
>>736589495 Yeah MGSV is the obvious answer but it’s still not 1:1.V has the same open map, outpost infiltration, cargo management autism, and “approach any objective however you want” design. The way you scout routes and plan around patrols in DS2 feels straight lifted from Afghanistan/Zaire.But DS leans way harder into traversal as the core gameplay loop. In MGSV the sneaking is the point and the terrain is an obstacle. In DS the terrain *is* the gameplay and the sneaking is just seasoning.If you liked clearing MGS V outposts non-lethally at 3am while listening to tapes, you’ll vibe with Death Stranding. If you wanted tight corridor stealth like 1–3, you’re gonna be disappointed.V is basically the skeleton DS grew out of.

>>736588619Chrono, easy.>Makes bosses easier>Makes combat in general easierI don't give a damn what they look like. Slowing time down to where your MP bullet skill ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA's a boss to death while you chew and swallow Chronos immediately after one ends will ALWAYS be good.
>>736586863Upgraded shotgun and the cord. Twin sticks if you feel fancy
>>736589089DS3 needs to be radically different (if it's ever even made), DS2 was pushing it with how similar it was to the first game. the fact that "combat" is a major new mechanic is kind of funny
>>736588619>necrobioteswtf did these things even do
all ive gathered about death stranding from this thread is that its for r*ddit nigger
>>736590821The combat wasn't even changed, it's the same but with more tools. The new tools and pizza moves are fun yes, but a sequel to DS1 really didn't need that much combat.>>736590875They make you invisible to BTs for a bit, even catchers.
>>736590821It doesn't need to be radically different. People that like the series know what they're getting.Kojima just needs to sand down/fix the combat, since that was where the game would slam into a brick wall (IMO) each time you were forced into combat situations. Ghost Mech or BT's. Both fucking blew.>>736590875Stops BT's from detecting you, but Sam loses HP in the process.Worthless since you can just hold your breath and boomerang the BTs, nagga. Just hold your breath hahahahahahaha.
>>736590821Doesn't the ending imply you would play as Tomorrow? You would probably get weird tar powers. A Death Stranding 3 needs to just focus on automating shit like factorio or satisfiactory. Also completely remove vehicles or severely nerf them, they are boring and solve too much of the game.
>>736591045>just focus on automating shit like factorio or satisfiactory.It's kind of crazy Monorails can't be used if you're sending cargo down the line. You'd think the Power of the PS5™ would have enough RAM to hold one train going one direction, and your train going another.Also kind of crazy the Architect will repair structures but not the goddamn road/monorails.
haha homo
>>736591045>Doesn't the ending imply you would play as Tomorrow?Unironically when I saw that scene of her in the porter outfit I was smiling from ear to ear like an idiot
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these porters from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
>>736591114i'm more mad lv2 roads have no durability change but upgrading them is only marginally more expensive than repairing them anyway even with the chemicals bottleneck.
>>736591045>have perfect tool in universe to justify auto repair on roads and monorail tracks>don't include it in the game at all despite having it in the first
>>736591258>durability changeDoesn't that sunroof slow timefall?
>>736591308i think once you connect areas you should just have to take out any local bandits, like you already do for npc porters, and the facility staff should just auto pave with player materials as long as players keep the area threat level low as well.
>>736591308I don't think anyone used them in the first, which is why they're sort of the bad guys this outing.
>>736591308are these things not in the game at all? I found it strange they removed this. They're in the cutscene during the credits
A big issue with the fact that this is a sequel is that all of the mystery and wonder of the game's world that were present in the first game is completely gone. You already know how the world works, what happened, what BTs are, what BBs are, why they're here, how they work. it's all already known, so there's not much left to speculate on now. Oh well.
>>736585764Sam is dealing with complex PTSD and psychotic delusions over Lou's death in DS2 while Dollman (who has lived through losing his own child) acts as his therapist and gently guides him through his grief, he nags you all the time because canonically Sam just stops and gives up without the encouragement, he has already killed himself at least 6 times in the interim before Fragile comes to him and makes her offer. Girls club exists as part of Sam's therapy to help cheer him up
>>736591429They're APAC's system since UCA gave them it. "Porters" started to move to Mexico because of it since nobody really needed human porters with them around.It's kind of the whole deal with 2.
>>736591379all ive read is that its a minor degradation buff and the main draw is you drive faster on them.
>>736591478>Lou's death"Death"
did the first game have constellations too? I forgot since I barely used them. Also sucks that the metal spring is cloudy as shit, would've been nice to have a scenic view while sam bathes.
>>736591565(Real story spoilers for anyone not finished)Does all that, only for Fragile to luck into Neil's beach and save Lou.I literally don't get the point of that plot point. The whole thing is a circle and just puts Sam through a lot of shit for nothing. It's gotta be a rewrite because playtesters were enjoying the Parenting drama that Kojima originally wrote, possibly.
>>736591662no, the first game didn't have a day/night cycle
>>736591045Frankly, the vehicles being powerful is only a part of the problem. I’m sure you guys also noticed this, but almost every logical route has what is effectively a prescribed truck path. Every single cliff and hill and ledge has an extremely wide, perfectly flat point you can ascend it on. Unless you’re on the mountain, most of the land is flat or is terrain that doesn’t actually present a threat, like the sand dunes. This means that not only are vehicles powerful, but theyre versatile enough that there’s no reason whatsoever not to use them. If vehicles were really powerful for only 20% of deliveries, I probably wouldn’t use them, because I optimize for the 80% unfortunately, vehicles are the best option for 98% of deliveries. If you’re going between the government and the first observatory, all you’re missing out on by taking a truck is walking in the same direction for a longer period of time with less cargo capacity. The route has no gameplay. The same can be said for the pioneer to the motherhood. C1 to the Bokka. What we need more than anything else is a more difficult map that constantly disrupts vehicle use outside of places where you’ve built roads. Try driving a truck from one end of the tutorial area in death stranding 1 to the other. There are actually several points where it’s very hard to continue because there’s a ridge you have to go through, or that really rocky BT zone near the end. You can basically drive from any prepper to any other proper with almost no difficulty in the sequel, aside from a couple on the mountain, who all CAN be driven to easily, just not from any direction. I beat the game on TTW and my stats say that I only ever built four ladders. We need more cliffs, more large gaps, more things that you can’t just drive over. They don’t actually need to nerf or remove the vehicles, they just have to make it so that they can’t go freaking everywhere..
>>736590958I just shot everything with the assault rifle. Everything else seemed pointless. I shot the mechs with rocket launchers and it took longer than just shooting them with the assault rifle. I didn't even kill any BTs in DS2, I just drove or walked around them. The enemies with the shields... I just shot them with an assault rifle and it barely took more shots than a normal enemy.
>>736585764homo
what is death stranding even about
i'm all for less reliance on vehicles but the map in 2 is so massive. if kojimbo makes a third game (doubtful) it will probably be so big you'll need a full size big rig
>>736591758>they just have to make it so that they can’t go freaking everywhere..Honestly, the only time I was annoyed with vehicles was the mountain and that's because of how sheer some climbs were to where the truck would slide like it was hitting ice up there without the spiked tires.I don't think vehicles are necessarily the problem. People want to FedEx? That's their choice. I do agree that traversal should be changed, I think Kojima and team went too far in the other direction after 1 was criticized with all the rocks in the way of some routes that would make sense to be able to vehicle through (to where Bike was better off road than the Truck, which makes sense, but even the Truck would hop over the small rocks just was annoying as fuck to do) to where now there wasn't really any "walls" beyond sudden drops.There has to be a good balance between the two that doesn't annoy one or the other. They sort of tried with the Zipline QoL improvement but didn't elsewhere.
>>736591934ropes and sticks
>>736591871The higher in difficulty you go, the more bullet sponge enemies become.Shock Bola beats MULES and Ghosts until the Ghost Dogs appear (the ones with a coffin), to where using a AR or LMG (or preferably the lock on launcher and some distance) is better than shooting them in the head with a shock bola after that point.BT's are Rocket->AR for the rocket blood grenade buff (or using AR/Blood Grenades like early game).I thought the Firecracker grenade was neat, but... it isn't a grenade, so you have to equip it like a primary so becomes very annoying to set up for what it was trying to do.
>>736583861>track through the demon ghost hills of death and suffering>hand over the vintage copy of PaRappa the Rapper the client ordered
>>736591758The missions in general are not designed very well. They added the monorails but there is only 1 mission that makes you carry so much shit you have to use it. So making all of the other monorail tracks is pointless.
>>736591934Humanity coming together to prevent the sixth extinction event.Honestly, if DS3 happens I hope we see a bit more of the "immediately after the Death Stranding happens" world that was implied in 2 with the flashback scenes.
>>736591871>I just shot everything with the assault rifle.same but mainly because its just so incredibly annoying to change weapons
>>736592112I played on the 2nd highest one... the enemies didn't have much HP. The highest difficulty doesn't let you change it so fuck that. I had no idea how hard it would be and I wasn't getting stuck half way through the game.
>>736591934A newly minted god of death/the apocalypse has the rotten misfortune of being born as a human and suffers a moral quandary over fulfilling its natural compulsion to end the world.It recruits two men as its avatars, one representing its humane and compassionate side and the other representing its innate desire to kill, and puts them in battle against eachother to decide what to do.The humane avatar is a postman and you play as him.
>>736592145The fact the Monorails don't have connections is also a smidge annoying. The only connection is a road, so at that point you're having to carry shit to certain centers (which will be warpable eventually) and then carry by road to the next one to cut down some travel time.
>>736592197That's the base games original hardest difficulty. TTW is a new addition (and clearly wasn't really play tested with the damage rate you gain).The games "easy" once you understand the combat system. It's just boss/enemy values are tuned too high to where they're a chore to get through.Honestly, I groaned when I had to face a BT/Boss compared to 1 which felt like even on Brutal/Very Hard that they weren't taking 10-15 mins to go through.
when i saw the ttw menu option of 'you can't change it once you start' i knew it was gonna be a meme mode.

I accepted like 5 standard orders at once from the mechanic/motherhood/pioneer and ziplined to the mine, sent all the cargo to F4 since it was part of the destination then drove down south to resume repairing the road. Red line in pic related is my zipline network all the way to the pizza chef.If there's a delivery from anywhere around F4 and further to the Pioneer I just take the surfboard and cruise around the open seas(blue line).
:beep boop boop beep:Sam, its troy baker
>>736583861>>736583962>Die Hardman.>Not Dick Hardcheese.
>>736592719>>736592860Well at least this game gave me more kino to listen to on long walks.
>>736592875I never bothered with Ziplines this outing. Honestly, the 350 upgrade limit should've been buffed, but I get Kojima wants people to hit their network bandwidth so having longer distances would make that less happening.>>736592971>The SSS posts you get on the backtrack>The flamboyant performance you get from Baker this outing>(Real game spoilers) The guitar QTE duel and fighting game where Sam and Higgs are near kissingYou just know he had fun with it. Him and Tommy both.
>>736593051nah the curved zipline is a massive buff. increasing the distance would be nice but I can understand keeping it at 350m since curved ziplines pretty much means you can draw a straight line regardless of the terrain.Also it's just 6 ziplines including the online one in the picture until Pekora. Might actually shift over the line to the Mechanic though, since it would be nice to quickly zoom and rape the Brigand camp. Might even be able to subtract one zipline since the hill isn't in the way. The game gives you a fuck ton of bandwidth anyways. I'm at like 50k? and around 60-70% is just generators so I can farm likes and also not give likes.
I skipped 95% of cutscenes in the first game. Game was honestly better without them
>>736591758My main problem with vehicles is that there's just too much stuff laying around and if you pick it all up you will be spending most of your time messing with menus, putting it on carriers and whatnot, and that is even if it all fits. And on a truck with sticky guns you just ride around.
>>736593812You wouldn't have to do so many lost cargo deliveries if half the standard orders weren't locked behind post-game.
>>736593812its even better when you get mountain gloves and you can pick up chiralium from the truck as well. i still like coffin for surfing the desert waves, i'll just park my truck at pioneer's place, unload a coffin, and surf around grabbing shit. it's a shame you can't repair the coffin at facilities and have to keep fabbing new ones over and over, it just annoying.
>>736591758Vehicles should be powerful. I should be able to drive the truck up the 35 degree flat mountain. But oh no, the game literally fucks with the physics if you try to take a vehicle where you arent supposed to. Know you up the mountain the game wants you to walk. Too bad the studio can suck a fat cock because im forcing the vehicle up the perfectly smooth path with zero rocks.
>>736593963yeah once i read this i started rushing the story. apparently these also people you can't 5 star until post game as well.

>>736594957I really wish I could motivate myself to do deliveries to people I’d already five starred, but I guess I’m a second rate Porter in that respect.
This might sound strange, but I almost wish that the levels were designed with less care. It took me a while to notice in the first game, but in this game, the areas are very clearly hand designed. everything‘s just the right height to serve a clear gameplay purpose, there are obvious truck paths, obvious climbing paths, I feel like I can read the developers a little too much, and it reduces the act of traversal to picking from a set of discrete options. I’d honestly be super down for a game mode where it randomly generates an environment and there’s one delivery in it or something, and then it builds you a new environment. There’s so many tools that I really don’t mind weird maps, I just want more land to conquer.
>>736594904THOUSAND OF YEARS ON THIS BEACH BOARD
why would anyone care for these games? Kojimbo hasnt made a good game in 20 years.
>>736591714>luck intoIt's established since the first game that Fragile can only jump to specific beaches when holding something with a strong connection to them. The multiverse guided her to Neil's beach because of his connection to Lou.

i just realized zipping the mountain isn't going to be nearly the paint in the ass i thought it would be because you can bring the magellen up to the mountain, and thus all the resources to build with, not to mention architect fixes your stuff. in the first game half the pain in the ass was just slogging alloys and chemicals up the mountain just to get started.

>>736598792This fucking quest pissed me off so fucking bad, what was supposed to be a cool moment got me so hacked off because I basically never used vehicles and had NEVER used the shooting from vehicles mechanic and then the game suddenly forces me into combat with an unfamiliar system on the hardest difficulty in a wide open space with no cover.

boo
>>736600063Next game will be on the moon.
>>736597918Given the plot, it makes sense they wouldn't want to sexualize tomorrow.
>The pizza man set allows you to rest at any shelter despite connection levelPretty based.
>>736583861Real niggas picked die hardman for the Charlie voice
>>736600337I went through all the options because anyone who isn't a dumbass knows the bottom one advances you. But I would have picked him anyway.
It was kind of bizarre how barely anything happens the whole plot until the finale, it was reminding me of KH3. Tomorrow gets minimal characterization and rainy and tarman both stop having anything interesting to do or say the moment you get their back stories. Like the first game, the only memorable characters are Deadman and Fragile.Leaving the plot aside, they did nothing to address the first game's major balance issues with zip lines, roads and vehicles ruining the late game. I was really hoping the increased focus on natural disasters and weather would make degradation matter but the earliest things I placed in Mexico are only just now breaking down as I'm finishing up 5 starring the last few shelters in australia. I was kind of disappointed by the game overall but I did still enjoy it for the most part. Woodkid's stuff was fine but it didn't really hold a candle to low roar's work, his death really hung over the entire game for me, I found myself thinking about it a lot.
>>736600185Which is funny, because Sam's first interaction with Tomorrow ( repeatedly stopping her from leaving via the elevator by using his body) could easily be interpreted as Sam being sexually forward with Tomorrow.
>>736600337He's the only one you can pick. People don't realise it's a forced choice because everyone picks Die-hardman first.
Why is this walking simulator so popular? You can't ever fall, the game automatically manages the weight for the player and thank Allah I pirated it, because I can't imagine how *easy* it would be with all of the free shit people apparently put on the map.
>>736600606> ruining the late gamehell they ruin the early game too unless you intentionally avoid using them to keep up some semblance of challenge/variety. In mexico once you get the trike you can drive basically anywhere, and if you're online there's charge stations all over so you never have to worry about running out of batteries. Australia makes it a bit tougher especially if you're using the truck, but even then there are still multiple routes possible all around for vehicles regardless of whether you've built the roads up or not.
>>736600829> stopping someone from getting on an elevator by blocking their path is sexually forwardhuh?
Why was Sam getting flashbacks to things that didn't happen to him when plugging into Lou's pod if there was nothing in that pod? What were we even supposed to think was in Lou's pod in the first place? Her BT or something? Why does no one ever ask about what happened to Lou's corpse?
>>736600337Except everybody wanted to pick Lockne
>>736600905In DS1, it was mostly late game that they ruin but yeah, in 2 it feels like they're introduced way earlier.
>>736600950Something something Lou's pod was still connected with her Ka who was connected to Neil through the beach or whatever.
>>736600135I want to catapult this moron into the tar lake so hard...Fuckin shit-eating retard
>>736600986Talking about zip lines and roads I mean, vehicles obviously were problems from near the beginning.

Did anyone actually guess "die hardman's vessel"? The game seems to imply it was meant to be obvious but I never even wondered what DHV meant, these games are so full of jargon that I just assumed it was the equivalent of "HMS" or "USS".
>>736597652
>>736601195Charlie so obviously speaks like Die-hardman, and the fact that you can only pick his voice, means that most people figure it out in the first cutscene and don't bother looking for more clues.
>>736600606>Woodkid's stuff was fine but it didn't really hold a candle to low roar's work, his death really hung over the entire game for me, I found myself thinking about it a lot.I don't agree with most of what you said but I do agree with this. When "Give Up" played it was very emotional for me thinking about how his music reaching people via the first game is "strand like" in itself.My favourite song from the second game was the Caroline Polachek one I think.
>>736601319Pretty much this. It's just another moment of Kojima trying to surprise you, but it fails completely because he is incapable of being subtle
>>736601195>The game seems to imply it was meant to be obvious but I never even wondered what DHV meant, these games are so full of jargon that I just assumed it was the equivalent of "HMS" or "USS".Deep-Hunting Vessel, but Die-Hardman was just being cheeky, having literally danced all over APAS' graves only a moment ago.
Is there a big difference between the Directors Cut and the other version of the first game?
>>736601358Big fan of the Magnolian's songs myself, but Polachek's "On the beach" is in my playlist too.As well as:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KTwDH_KQ_g
>>736601358>the Caroline Polachek one I think.The Dollman cutscene one? I liked it too, mostly because I love bass and that song had a nice beat.
>>736601405Why is this turbo faggot so flamboyant and cheeky now, when he tried so hard to be super-serious in the first game...?At least he's annoying in both game, at least there's continuity here
So what was the deal with that ending? It seem like the bad APAS future came to pass, the magellan and all the highways in ruins and all deliveries now automated. Like sure it's nice to see rainy had her kid and tomorrow's doing well but the implications for the broader setting seem to be that society within the chiral network is doomed to stagnation and/or extinction. Kind of a grim note to go out on considering how much they love to talk about how great it is to connect people to each other.
>>736583861I just gave up on the Ghost Hunter, spent hours trying to find lost cargo or orders for him and nothing.I really wanted to do his last 2 orders but it seems i cant.

>>736601487>extinctionThat will happen no matter what. Amelie is still around, she - thanks to Sam - just gave Humanity more time, but sooner or later she will bring the final Death Stranding
>>736601427Not really, a few extra items/buildings, a new vehicle, a race track, and a little post game subplot about bridge babies that kind of sets up some ideas they covered in the sequel.

>>736600981Yeah I saw that and was like "ooo yeah gimme more Margaret Qualley." Only to be let down.
>>736601773I'd like a DS3 but with a director that understand this universe and that is not Kojima. That franchise has a great potential and Kojima doesn't exploit it
>>736601321>Sam you can't put a condom on me!>Sam oh god where are you putting me?!
>>736601476He's no longer acting president so after the reveal he can finally be himself, I think hjs last conversation with Sam and knowing Cliff moved on was also really good for him.
>>736601168i was gonna see if you could shoot him out of a package cannon but cbf doing the mission again
So, which structures get ported over?I knew some roads and most PCC stuff but thevother day i opened up a mine and was weirded out when i looked at the name of the one who reopened it wasnt me.Are some things locked out until you fix them only to properly show you the online stuff, are some things deliberately not shared through players?
>>736601103
I still don't get if Sam is supposed to be the only repatriate or not. He seems like he's supposed to be but then why do they have a dedicated term for what he is like it's a thing commonly known about. If he is the only repatriate, 2 casts some unfortunate implications back at 1's plot since it seems like now Bridget intentionally made Sam immortal just to steal his baby. Also if the whole idea of the BB's is to have a "stillmother" then the fact they killed Sam's wife kind of ruins their whole plan, so why do they act like they're still going to be able to do it after she died? And why is Lou able to sense BTs in 1 if she doesn't have a stillmother? Surely she's just a baby at that point, not a BB.
>>736601992
>>736601604I already beat the game and after 3.5 stars i cant seem to find new orders for him.
>>736601719If you were playing for the first time, the additions to directors cut are worth it, but it's not enough content to justify a replay.
>>736602013It is implied by Heartman that there are other repatriates. Lou is probably one of them too
>>736601762I was disappointed the sequel didn't have more optional peppers, they were my favorite part of 1. In general I wish the game let you progress in a less scripted manner. Maybe have the distribution centers, cities, and observation outposts be the story bits and all the preppers be optional and entirely left to the player's discretion.
>>736602045His progress is tied to sub orders. If you didn't read his SSS messages they may not be unlocked, I don't know. There's the moving house and crying baby orders, last one is killing a BT near F8>>736602064It was worth it for me because I really loved the game and that was the perfect excuse for another playthrough. Plus it was only 10 euros for anyone who owned the original release
>>736602064I got it from epic's giveaway years ago but am only now getting around to it. I wasn't certain whether I keep going with this or buy the directors cut since I've liked the first bit.
>>736602013I'm surprised they never did a surprise reveal of someone being a repatriate. It would have been nice if they had Higgs win against Lou during their 2nd fight and actually kill her, only for Lou to revive after he leaves. Higgs loses too much in cutscenes in DS2, so giving him a quasi win in that respect adds back some of the villain credibility he was hemorrhaging throughout the game.
>>736602064Director's Cut + Unlock Everything Mod = Peak NG+ playthrough of DS1. It's so much fun.
>>736602262The last thing I wanted the whole game was to have to put up with more retarded higgs bullshit.
>>736602262>Higgs loses too much in cutscenesFuck no. It's already annoying to have to deal with this faggot again, at least it's nice to see get roasted
>mmm, shouldn't have eaten that burrito>Sam, there is chiral matter accumulating around your posterior. Did you forget to use the bathroom before you left the Magellan?

>>736602498Same as DS1
>smile at u>>736602434Am I schizo or was it easier to check orders in the first game by just clicking on the place icon on the map?
When the game started forcing me to make Sam cut and dye his hair, I was like "Can I not? I don't want to have brown hair. I want Silver Sam".
>>736590821I honestly don’t even mind DS2, as a big DS1 fan. My biggest problems with DS2 are that Australia is too plain whereas America felt more dense and forced you to actually path your way around obstacles; Australia also feels too “realistic” whereas America looked more surreal and almost mystical; Dollman’s entire existence; and the fact you play as Sam when Sam already got his happy ending in the first game. Though I guess the two latter problems are nonissues, the real problem is world design and aesthetic
Kojima's hard on for product placement went too fucking far with this stupid yamato transport bullshit. I fucking hate being spammed with this stupid jingle.
>>736588025I like the derpy looking one with the choker
>>736601195I guessed Charlie was Die-Hardman from the forced choice at the start, I assumed he was on the ship since if you try going in the storage room (from the map) he panic calls telling you to stay away because of "chrial contamination", plus the ship inhabitant count was 8, initially I thought Tarcat didn't count but later I got the scene that implies Tarcat MAYBE has the Ka of Tarman's son so I wasn't too sure.When I got the SSS post about Charlie on the VR scoreboard I thought Kojima was being so unsubtle that Charlie being Die-Hardman was actually a red herring, but when I closed the post I and saw the DHV Magellan the idea came to me and I thought it was too funny not to be Die-Hardman Vessel.
>>736602690clicking on a place shows you what cargo is stored in that place's private storage locker
>>736602868in ds2 i mean, not sure why they changed it, maybe because of 2 continents
>>736591045They can always just pull something out of their ass to nerd Tomorrow’s powers, like how Fragile suddenly lost the ability to Beach jump. But I kinda agree on the vehicles. Most players had the same problems in the first game as well, they’re simply incapable of thinking for themselves and simply NOT using trucks all the time. DS2 had the same problem but it was more egregious because trucks suddenly drive better and have more cool little features. They’re just too tempting for people to not use. Since the first game, I’ve imposed a rule to myself to never drive trucks off-roads. I’ll drive down the road then once I can’t get any closer to the destination, I just park the truck there, grab my cargo from the back, then walk the rest of the way, then walk back to my truck. You could sort of force players to do something like that - treating the truck more like a train or a monorail.
Do they not reissue main orders as standard orders in the post game in DS2 like they did in DS1? I haven't seen any yet since I finished the plot.
>>736601065thats not remotely how the scene went down
>>736602574No, actually. That's why he was so much better in DS1. He never fights directly. He commands BTs fight for him. He puts on a disguise and tries to trick you into delivering a nuke. He has flashback cutscenes where he tortures Fragile. He shows up after Sam thinks he won, steals Amelie, slaps her butt, shoots Lou half to death and leaves Sam to bleed out while walking away. He only gets his hands dirty right at the end. It all adds up to him being a competent, threatening villain that's worth fighting. DS2 Higgs was flanderised and defanged by comparison.
Quick question about combat and stealth likes, I noticed that you get them from beating enemies even if it was totally unrelated to the order, so can you double dip on the reward? Can I take 10 orders, park the truck, take out 5 bandit camps, and have that count as 50 camps of bandits cleared, or does the game remember that it already have you the reward for that enemy?
>>736602106Wasn't he moreso guessing based on the fact that there are more people surfacing who have weird powers? The only really 'confirmed' ones are Sam and Lou
>>736603067Sam literally picrels her. It was just like what Deckard does to Rachael before their love scene in Bladerunner.

198 hoursbeen doing orders since that third neil vana fight absolutely buck broke me yesterdayseemingly only two more possible deliveries to do before terminal knotalthough im hearing that after a huge chunk of story theres one more opportunity to do deliveries before the absolute endgame
>>736603657I remember you. The third Neil fight can be hard, but you should be more than adept at fighting him by then. You had every warning you needed to know that you should be putting on a battle skeleton and loading up with rocket launchers/blood nades.

>>736603860No, it literally never happens. You're confusing the standard orders with main orders.

In my eyes he's just more of the same in 2. He seems threatening theoretically but in practice he only ever does underhanded shit and gets beat up.
>>736604675GOOD MORNING SAAAAAR, PLEASE SAVE THE NEEDFUL

>>736587146The machine gun has far more ammo, and even so I still find it's not enough for boss fights on TTW difficulty. ARs just run out and are discarded in the first 30 seconds.
Deatheater BigBossman
>>736591758I think another thing worth considering is making cargo more sensible to damage in trucks when you’re off-roading, to a point where you’ll get an A rank on a delivery taking you off road. Think of it like frozen cargo, it automatically takes damage when out in the sun, you could make it so cargo automatically takes tiny amounts of damage as you’re driving off-roads. This would encourage players to stick to the roads and walk the rest of the way on foot. Not every delivery has to be like this, but enough so that people aren’t always complaining about how trucks trivialize everything

>>736591871See, I don’t get this. Why do people min-max this game this hard? This isn’t some PvP extraction shooter or a gacha game with a set amount of tasks you have to do each day or GTA Online with all its different methods of making money, this is a game about FUN. It’s literally Kojima Studios’s figurehead, the Fag- I mean, Homo Ludens, latin for “Playing Man”, is supposed to represent work and play, not one or the other. You should’ve realized by now that Death Stranding isn’t a game to be min maxed and have all the fun sucked out of. Grab a boost skeleton and a staff and beat the shit out of Demens, skate down a mountain with a cargo container and jump off a ramp, take your backpack off and see how long you can go without it, go full OSP/Subsistence on camps just for the fuck of it, save the staff enemies for last then go full Duel of the Fates on them. Death Stranding and especially Death Stranding 2 are all about fucking around and having fun. Not to be running around with a shock bola gun like some metacuck. Like John Nintendoman once said - if it’s not fun, why bother?
>>736606060Oh really? I was avoiding hitting them because I didn't want to have to go collect bodies afterwards to avoid a voidout.
>>736606250animals don't have souls/ka and thus don't have beaches. So a BT grabbing one wouldn't do anything.
>>736606252I play this game to deliver packages but Fart Huffman added a shitton of enemy encampments and made mandatory missions to clear them.
>>736599734is there some other obscure requirement I'm unaware of? I have everyone 5 starred. Tried reading a book but nothing happens
Ooh you can put electric traps on either side of a road and have a trip wire across it Useful for the guys patrolling the twin valley mine
>>736591967I’d love for there to be a big rig. The truck as is just isn’t big enough sometimes for all my shit. And I’m still mad about the first game cockteasing you with those giant semi-trucks in the first game
>>736606402There aren't any gingers in this game are there?
>>736589029It's more worth playing if you never played the original, because then it doesn't have impossible standards to live up to.It would be a well-liked game if they had named it anything other than Bloodlines 2.
>>736606561Mama is probably a ginger but dyes her hair. It would explain her whole arc
>>736592140tasteful
>>736592752Think it’s just a regular bullet that was lodged in there. But interesting theory. You might be right actually
>>736606561this one
>>736606402Then how come there were animal EE's for the previous extinctions?
>>736595264kojima haters always spout the same meme arguments, they almost sound like drones
>>736606764I dunno, maybe the previous extinctions were different because of the animals lack of souls compared to someone like Amelie, or something like that. I just recall that its mentioned in the corpus that animals don't have beaches.
>>736596425I think what’s so great (and kinda not great) is that there’s just no other games like this. Yeah, every game has generic third person shooter gameplay and boss fights, but I’ve never seen a delivery gameplay handled this well. The closest I can think of is Euro Truck Simulator, but you can’t get ride cargo carriers or greet fellow porters in ETS
>$124 Australian DollarydoosI'll wait, Kobumble.
so im driving down the highway between east and south knot when theres a gate quake and the ocean is exploding tari get out my vehiclewalk down to the coastand theres nothingand im like huh, i turn around and out the corner of my eye theres a dude covered in blood sprinting right at me never pulled out my shotgun so fastwhat the hell man
>>736596921This was me in the first game lel. I beat the story, did all 540 LLL’s, got all achievements, chose a comfy spot for Sam to sleep in, and bid the game farewell. Then for the entire next several weeks I had this excruciating urge to go back in and deliver some online cargo or upgrade someone’s safe house or donate some materials. MULE Syndrome is real
>>736597730Funnily enough, I thought Fragile looked hotter in the first game. Her outfit’s just too ugly in the sequel. But she’s still a fine looking woman either way
>>736598971I care, nigger
>>736607093>origin story of why anon started stealing backpacks
>>736586551Robert Moses detected
>>736600337I wanted to pick Deadman because he’s a bro but then Charlie told me to fuck off and I quickly realized he most likely wouldn’t let me pick Lockne or Heartman either
>>736600829That’s because Tomorrow is retarded and Sam is autistic. There’s nothing sexual about it
>>736604772I don't really see a problem with the pizza thing. It shows Higgs ultimately respected Sam when you finish the final one and his shelter opens automatically. It's only something you get after he's already defeated and presumably gone forever, so it's not like it tarnishes Higgs while the plot still needs him to be threatening.
>>736607423Bro, there's a nightmare where Tomorrow pulls you into her room with bedroom eyes and asks you to choose her or the other girls.
>>736601195>>736601319I unfortunately caught some spoilers from the PS5 release, and I realized too early that Die-Hardman not only appears again but also throws it back epic style, that there’s some weird static cartoon man hologram that sounds like Die-Hardman, and that Lockne isn’t in the game. When I started playing I quickly realized “Charlie” was actually Die-Hardman in disguise
>>736607558I choose Dollman
>>736607481I'm not saying there's a problem with it, I'm saying it shows how petty and powerless Higgs actually is. He's just an edgy larper who's all bark and no bite.
>>736601984Who knows. If it’s anything like the first game, structures you’ve unlocked randomly start popping up over time. Pavers and mines have random player names assigned to them for some reason, don’t think too much about it
I miss the stars in the outfit from DS1 it made the 100% completion more satisfying, the backpack patches are fucking useless
They have no idea what's coming>>736607634Wow he's literally me
>>736602162>Bokka, Architect, Pioneer and Inventor versus >First Prepper, Collector, and the Writer’s Son or whatever he’s called Was there not more optional preppers in the sequel than the first game?
>always liked to make Sam sing that Ii Yu Dana intro in the hot springs >same button to make him sing is also mapped to make Dollman sing and start the whole dance number >have to wait for Dollman to fuck off and swim away so Sam can sing in peaceman Dollman just keeps finding more and more ways to annoy players. Makes throwing him against rocks that much more satisfying at least
>>736602803I thought it was cute. I’m not Japanese so it’s not like it’ll make me want to give them money like how CoD collabs with Monster Energy all the time
>>736600829>Sam's first interaction with Tomorrow ( repeatedly stopping her from leaving via the elevator by using his body) could easily be interpreted as Sam being sexually forward with Tomorrow.Who the fuck interprets shit like this?
> Finish main order> Fragile says to come back to the DHV and encourages him to have a chat with Tomorrow as she's getting better at talking to people> Sam barely says 5 words to her before Fragile tells him to fuck off and go to bedSeems a little contadictory.
>>736603156Agreed with >>736604772. Higgs in DS1 introduces himself as some elder being but by the end of the game he’s reduced to some chuuni faggot simping for some white woman. It makes perfect sense that he’d be even more pathetic in the sequel
I like using the power glove all the time because I’m autistic. Do the “breakdown” stealth takedowns count towards Sam’s takedown skill points?
>>736607962>dollman>annoyingPick one. Every time he speaks, he drops trvkes. You got filtered or you're probably brown, maybe both.
>>736608492yeah
>>736607634Petty, yeah. But not powerless. Higgs can easily kill you during his bossfight. He was also practically a god before you face him directly. The only reason he doesn't stop you is because he wants you to connect America for Amelie, in order to trigger the last stranding.
Yeah I liked Dollman he's like an actual bro character and it's also funny when Sam goes "I'm Sam!" then he goes "I'm dollman!"
>>736608587>when he speaks he drops trvkesHas to be only 1 person saying this right? It's very specific
FUCKING NIGGER BATS>>736608178Mentally ill coomers>>736608812Doll hands typed this post
>>736608178https://youtu.be/pOfvq5ZO-Qw?t=200
>>736608694Higgs actually has it really difficult as an antagonist. Imagine your rival just being immortal and also having to hold back against him, then going all out and he still wrecks your shit. And he has a stupid band of friends that are against you while you have no one. Even Amelie was with Higgs only like 50%.
>>736608263Plus even he admits in their first proper encounter in DS2 that he knows he can't really 'beat' or kill Sam, and is therefore just trying to settle for being a menace and making his life miserable. He's 100% shameless in his actions and knows it too, which seems fitting for his current mental state.
>>736608263>chuuni faggot simping for some white womanWhat an oddly specific phrase.
>>736590526On the bridge fight towards endgame you get that mech boss again. Except it spawns two coffin mechs from the tar. Quickly kill those two using chronobiotes and rocket launcher. Then pick up their Heavy MGs and with chronobiotes absolutely melt that bosses hp in seconds. Its absolutely insane. Dunno why they even let you have access to Heavy MGs during it. Still was fun though.Plus also don't understand all these people saying that bosses have bloated hp. They've all been fine.
>>736609000I mean, not when you think about it. He demonstrates that he can just teleport into the DHV anytime. There's no reason he couldn't do that and leave a bomb or just kill the non-repatriates.
put me down jeet! put me down!
kinoits crazy how kojima finally made a game thats 99% gameplay and 1% cutscenes, and the cutscenes are all the more memorable for it
>>736609071That's not all that different from DS1. Higgs' actions there aren't aimed at killing Sam. He summons BTs to eat Sam while he's close to a Knot, which would trigger an explosion big enough to destroy the place. He tries to make Sam nuke a critical city. He attacks again when Sam is trying to take Lockne to Mountain Knot, which would vaporise Lockne and fuck with her plans to get the umbilical chord and data to Heartman. Sam was always a repatriate. Higgs worked around that in DS1.
>>736609516the tomorrow vs mechs scene looks much better in the daytime while tomorrow vs higgs looks cooler at nighttomorrow vs higgs absolutely killed my framerate the first time
those giant BTs from the first game with the half heads and stumps for arms look utterly satanic im glad they return
>>736609212I think the hp is fine on TTW. I had more problems with their damage. Every single boss was either laughably easy or painful to get through, no inbetween
>>736609329The stench will make you immune to BT.
>>736583861I'm playing DS1 for the first time and I feel like many of the segments are too easy thanks the vehicles. Even without roads I've been doing pretty much everything with a truck or bike since I got to the first central zone mule camp, I'm at the mountain city distro center now these things can get you most of the way to anywhere and the cargo capacity is great. Just been putting down generators and the very occasional ladder bridge for the bike. I have a box of climbing anchors from the first zone that has almost been destroyed by time fall without all being used up. Am I doing something wrong or is this the intended loop? I feel like with all the new boots and guns and ladders and buddy bots I've got that the game wants me to walk more but I just haven't needed them.I also wish there was an option for reducing the number of shared structures without completely deleting them, there's bridges and signs fucking everywhere, useless bridges in places that are obviously just to farm likes. I almost never need to build anything but generators when I get way out in the boonies, it feels like litter.
Why does Kojima need to invent new word for "soul/body"? Just say soul/body instead of ka/ha, fucking prentious hack.
>>736609812I miss the baby BTs. Shit was fucked up.
>>736609935Ziplines are more effective than vehicles in the mountains. Plus the area you go to after the mountains is far enough way from Mountain knot that repairing your vehicles becomes tedious unless you invest in a safehouse down there.
>>736609941Ha and Ka aren't 'new words', they're OLDER words for the same general concept. As it is, its just done to be a bit more interesting, I mean, why not?
>>736609941He's just using the japanese words.
>>736607858>The Phantom Smith, Mr Impossibleas well
>>736595612>The multiverse guided her to Neil's beach because of his connection to Lou.His only connection is being in a love triangle with his therapist and some event in Italy(?) during the Death Stranding before coming to America with said therapist.Lou was a fetus at the time. There should be no connection past that.Again: Luck.>>736595639Obviously not since I just described the fucking scene.
>>736610213Egyptian
>>736594156>BPAS and Mr Impossible are straight up locked until you beat the story though.No...? At least BPAS isn't. I found lost Cargo on the way back from F7 to F8 and unlocked/put BPAS on the board before finishing the game. I didn't bother trying to five star them.NOW Mr. Impossible, you can find him, list him on the map but I never found lost cargo all game for him.
>>736609000Amelie didn't give a fuck about him. He was a pawn to balance Sam, nothing more. When he failed, she just took away his power. Fragile should have killed him on the beach.
>>736608587Dollman is unironically one of the best characters
>>736609680Tomorrow's dumb (voluptuous) ass kept shooting me in the back of the fucking head.
>>736610504True! He drops truth nukes whenever he speaks
>>736610454>Fragile should have killed him on the beach.You think so?
>>736610436The faggot twins are endgame only. Never found lost cargo for them until I finished the story. They give stuff related to items you get during the final missions
Sam, its Big Bossman here, try to remember the basics of Pizza Kung Fu. It could save your life in a hectic firefight in Close Quarters.
>>736604675Fifth, but yeah. That questline sucked.
>>736610863Imagine if we could use those moves on Neil, or Higgs.
>>736610916I was giggling through the entire thing. The player knows Kojima is trolling. And Kojima knows the player knows hes trolling. Its all good fun. Also I had already explored the crater well before and had already been teleported by the giant jellyfish. So I knew what to expect for that last order.
>>736604675of all people, why rescue pajeets? why can't we rescue cuties like Refn's daughter.
>>736611095It was more annoying hauling his ass back more than anything.>JellyfishThat shit sucked because Tar slows you down and you can't fight the Stingrays with him on your back, so you have to haul ass while avoiding their attacks.>Never found lost cargo for them until I finished the story. Yeah, IDK what is with Mr. Impossible. But I totally found BPAS' lost cargo right before hitting Terminal Knot/F8. There was one that spawned between F7 and South Observation in a "trench" near the road built between the two.I also had a random cargo roll fast and hard down the mountain for the Aerojeet which had me laugh hard seeing it roll down the mountain. I don't know if one of you chucked it and that's how it spawned in my world, but it's the only time I've seen cargo rolling in the world and it caused me to split sides.
>>736587101>AF
>>736611285>That shit sucked because Tar slows you down and you can't fight the Stingrays with him on your back, so you have to haul ass while avoiding their attacks.Just summon the whale. It solos them.
>>736611285>the AerojeetI think he was abo.
>>736591509>They're APAC's system since UCA gave them it. "Porters" started to move to Mexico because of it since nobody really needed human porters with them around.>It's kind of the whole deal with 2.BUT THE NIGGER IN DEATH STRANDING 1 TOLD ME PEOPLE GOT DEPRESSED WHEN PEOPLE DIDN'T GET DELIVERIES FROM HUMAN PORTERS AND THEY HAD TO SCRAP IT
>>736611392I didn't have more than the Dolphin at the time. In fact I didn't bother doing the Pokemon stuff. I only have the Dolphin (required sidequest), the hand (on the way back home/Mexico), and the Crab (on the way back home/Mexico) captured because I was forced into them.I avoid BT's if I can help it.
>>736611448Ah, but Aerojeet makes them sound like Aerosmith, which is funnier in my head.DUDE LIVES ON A MOUNTAIN.>>736611467Well, with the Network links, people can talk to eat other a la COVID. That's kind of why Kojima changed the sequel since "Kojima predicted it" (MGS2, COVID/DS1) had him annoyed.But yeah, once UCA was fully linked, APAC came online and the humanless Amazon deliveries started and so there wasn't a need for the human porters. So they went South while Sam was in hiding.
WOWZERS
>>736611472Well, you still had Dolphin. Like all friendly BTs, it completely agros any BT it's fighting, which leaves you complexly free to fire everything you have into them.
YOU'RE MINE
>>736611285I'll admit as soon as I saw the two flying BTs I reloaded the game back at his shetler. This time crafting a few multirocket launchers and an mg. Camw back a second time.. didn't pick him up off the floor. Raped both boss BTs, was a fun fight because they both attack you from off screen so you have to pay attention. Then grabbed him with 0damage. Was great fun. He's an ass for sure though kek.>>736611392Yep true. They only had a bit of hp left and I was out of ammo so finished them off with a summon
>>736612096I just ran through the rocks and prayed they wouldn't strafe chiral fire on me. As soon as Dollman said "go for the Jellyfish" I was like "Shit, ok" and hauling ass from where you initially spawned to that Jellyfish (which I killed before and reloaded, oops).
>>736587550Why does she have to wear the skin tight pants?Why does she have to give me a sneak peak of her tiny cute butt when she checks the cargo?Why is ahe always so happy and wholesome?>Its too much bros, I can only take so much....
DS2 seems like a middle finger to everyone who loved the first game: retcons out the wazoo, the worst story kojima has ever written, twists so pointless and predictable that you wonder if the game is calling you retarded...I absolutely loved DS1, it will always be a special game to me, one that made me truly feel something. the ending is one of the best in all of vidya. when the second one was revealed, I instantly had a bad feeling about it, because I knew, they would have to retcon tons of shit for the sake of sam being the protag again. his arc was beautifully concluded only to now make lou his real daughter for bullshit reasons and diminish a lot of the impact of the first game: like his WIFE (here she is only his fuckbuddy) killing herself because she is having his dooms baby and seeing it's nightmares which drove her insane. something so tragic and traumatic just retconned with the worst anime magic I've ever witnessed.making the gamer believe AGAIN lou is gonna die, can't work twice. I felt NOTHING. I KNEW she wasn't dead, I knew she was tomorrow with anime magic. they had to kill off someone though, for the ""impact"" so they went for fragile, the second most endearing character after the baby and they did that in the most braindead way possible.I enjoyed playing the game, but the ending soured me so much, I struggle to finish the post-game content. that world just doesn't feel right to me at all. a game made for the haters of the first one and at the detriment of the lovers of the first one. No likes from me, Kojima
>>736613456Agree with everything except for Fragile being endearing, Lea Seydoux is a charisma black hole, didn't care about her in DS1 and don't care about her in 2
>>736587550That forehead's larger than texas
>>736614391She can put on a ten gallon hat and ride my hog then.
>>736613456cool pasta
>>736614818it's not, just my honest thoughts>>736613951that's fair, but sam & her clearly love each other. some "white romance" shitalso I find it funny, that the only people who didn't guess tomorrorw = lou were people who never played the first one and believed the baby was male lol
>>736592875i have a rule to only put ziplines in mountainous areas and i never felt i needed them for the desertalthough branching a couple of the monorail would be cool
>>736608836It’s literally one contrarian retard saying it. He always talks about “trvkes” and brown people. It’s probably Dollman’s voice actor himself, which would be funny because he’s unironically brown
entire 200 hoursone bushfire in a main story missionsecond bushfire for a ghost hunter missionalthough i just went back an hour later and its still burningreally cool to see its just disappointing how rare it is. same with avalanches, saw like , three in the main story and only once outside of that, when one came down off the mountain so fast i didnt even have time to thinkit was fucking awesome
>>736614996Maybe bridges was lying in the Lucy emails to cover up what happened. So the official story is Lucy suicided. But now we know what actually happened.Or Kojima just retconned it. But ultimately I don't know.All I do know is Lucy is a complete bitch. They even gave her a bitch face actress lmao
>Death Stranding>the rope>Death Stranding 2>the rope and the stick>Death Stranding 3>???What, a spear? A shield? A sling? A metal gear? A prostitute?
>>736615736okay, but still that makes the story worse. and like anon said here: >>736602013 it makes NO sense. why didn't that bitch ask sam, who literally cannot DIE to help her? why not fucking bridges herself? why didn't bridges/amelie tell sam lou is his kid? how the fuck did lou survive 11 years without a stillmother? it makes NO sense
>>736609516There was a shift in MGSV. He went from a movie segmented by multiple gameplay instances to what is essentially a sandbox game segmented by multiple cutscene instances. I sank like 150 hours into the first game and it only has like 8 hours of cutscenes. So much for “moviegame”
Someone explain the significance of Neil necrotising immediately. Was this what caused the voidout that resulted in the APAS 4k?
>>736615606I had heard that there were random environmental dangers but it ended up being a big nothing as it barely ever happens. TTW should've cranked up the chances of them happening instead of overtuning damage numbers>>736615859The rope and the stool
>>736616019it was his anger about not being able to protect his waifu; yes, he caused the voidout by touching sam
>>736609942Are they not in the sequel? I could’ve sworn I cut one loose the other day. But yeah, I agree. There’s something really disturbing about them. I would always go out of my way to at the very least cut baby BT’s and let them rest. The scream they let out as they pass on always freaks me out, but it’s worth sending the lil guys out of their misery
truckfags in absolute shambles https://x.com/i/status/2041849333482467721
>>736616164It's difficult to tell in game but I kind of got that impression, though it's somewhat reliant on the player knowing about that voidout that happened prior to either game.I think the visual representation from Neils POV as a BT didn't make it quite clear enough that's what you were witnessing.I'm also confused somewhat on the timeline, because APAS wasn't a thing in DS1 so presumably 4k only came into being in the 11 months between 1 and 2 but that can't be the case if this is the inciting event and that happened before 1.Also Sam looks cool with short hair.
>>736609942they are in the game, try playing it instead of watching a stream
>>736616276Out fucking played
>>736616328>I'm also confused somewhat on the timeline, because APAS wasn't a thing in DS1 so presumably 4k only came into being in the 11 months between 1 and 2 but that can't be the case if this is the inciting event and that happened before 1.kojima is a hack. he pulled the story out of his ass while taking a shit. he himself said in an interview that sequels should be made by AI lol
>>736609935People complaining about trucks while also using them instead of just walking is something I will never understand. Also, you can disable online structures in the settings but it will disable everything except for roads being built by others. You can disable automatic login and play offline to prevent the roads from being built too. Of course, the shared structures from other players are a fundamental part of “strand-type games”, but you do you
>>736616446I think it's more likely that these are 2 seperate events and I'm making a connection between 2 things that doesn't actually exist. Forming some kind of strand.... Connecting us... Should we have connected...Holy shit you just further reinforced Kojima's genius...
>>736609941If you’re gonna call Kojima a “pretentious hack” for literally anything he does, at least spell it right

>>736616276Based. Fuck truck cucks
>>736616027>You can use the rope and the stool to kill yourself or to turn it into a flailBravo Kojima can't wait to play your farming simulator
I wish I had known about the dark souls dodge being available at all times by just putting down the backpack. Would've made some bosses a lot more enjoyable. Surely I'll remember for my next playthrough in a year
>>736613456speak for yourself. i loved the first game and loved the second game. they’re games about portering and witnessing kojima antics. don’t be so serious, you moody faggot
>>736613456I didn't give a fuck about story in 1, although Mads was cool, and I care about story even less now. The main problem with the game is that kojima expects players to care about the story despite it making absolutely no sense.
>>736616007Yes but we have to go with main story hours vs cutscene length, so maybe 30 hours?. I put 1200 hours into DS1 so for me the cutscene ratio would be tiny.
>>736601103what a mommy

>Nooo killing armed hostiles are le heckin wrong!!Shut the fuck up Dollman
>>736615985Yeh there's definitely more stuff that doesn't make sense yet. I'm gonna search around for any explanations that make sense. But my hunch is that kojimbles did just retcon stuff so that he could make the game he felt like making.Plus theres the apparent re-writes that he did.
can you ride the kangaroos in this game? I like kangaroos
>>736617196I've been happy about every single nerf with the truck. Long Range 3 from the first game needed to be dethroned somehow.Sadly ziplines and the coffin are still too powerful and make everything a joke.But as a truck user myself, I agree, fuck truckfags.
>>736618387It's silly that there's no such "Kill & Burn" team or service in this world. If there were constantly armed thugs beating up porters you'd think Bridges, APAC, or someone would think "You know what, fuck it. You're too much of a burden, we're going to eradicate your group."
>>736618696I feel like the coffin is pretty balanced. It doesn't give any extra carry capacity so you have to make multiple trips to do what the truck would accomplish in a single trip, so the faster travel time evens out.
>>736615985>why didn't that bitch ask sam, who literally cannot DIE to help her? Sam is with Bridges/Amelie. He isn't a smuggler. He could've been told, but what the fuck could he have done against Bridgett's company?>why not fucking bridges herself?Good question. The reason we know of (until Kojima retcons) is that Bridgett didn't know what the company was doing behind her back.>why didn't bridges/amelie tell sam lou is his kid?Because of Bridges. We see this in the cutscene at the end where Neil is trying to get the therapist out. THEY KNOW. It's why she tried to lie and say "no, it's actually THIS dudes kid. The kid doesn't have Sam's ability!" but it's flimsy as hell, given, as I said: Bridges already knew.
>>736618426what was re-written in your opinion?
>>736619018Neil and Lucy's connection (Lucy and him running away in the first flashback area/Italy that isn't explained much). Neil's beach being the one Fragile finds (Lou is somehow super special and understood links while a fetus!) to protect Lou.There are some plotholes that I feel Kojima put in because of playtesters. Really, if people were THAT excited by his story, he should've accepted he written something good and kept it instead of going "LE AUTEUR, I NEED THE LE HATERS!" over it.
>>736619018Not him but the most obvious exemple is the entire APAS thing
Is Kojima still based though for making the "bad guys" APAC so similar to AIPAC? Does Kojima understand the Jew
>>736619782jacob geller was annoyed about it LOL LMAO get fucked kike
>>736619213I honestly think he didn't rewrite shit. that was all marketing
Played through mgs1 and 2 the last few days. Amazing how badly those games mog DS. Dollman is Campbell turned up to 100.
>>736620463Campbell doesn't chime in every five minutes. Well, outside of MGS2 which was intentional.
>>736620529I would have Campbell over dollman any day.Also what an obnoxious and annoyingly loud scream dollman does every time you get on a zipline. I'm there listening to my quiet zoning out music. And this fucking fuckface disrupts my peace with his YAAAAAAAAAAHOIIIIIIKKOHGYUU. LIKE SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FAGGOT
