Sam....its not easy being me.... everyone around me always got to eat like pigs. They never put on weight. But due to my chiral allergy I could not stop gaining mass.Sam. Do you know why they call me Fat Assman?courtesy of anon unknownman
SHUT THE FUCK UP DOLLMAN HOLY SHIT
Was Del Taco okay with this shit?
Sam do you know why they call me Buck Zestman?
>>736669143I'm still not sure if half the people in this game actually played themselves, or if they're played by the "special appearance" actor.
>>736667964I feel like playtesters should have told Kojima that Higgs getting humiliated in a cutscene 4 times in a row undermines his aura somewhat.
>>736669328Kojima is a fucking idiot that also played slapstick with Meryl's romance to the guy that shits himself.
>>736669257They just used their likeness, the voice acting and mocap was done by separate actors.

>>736669659>click to go thereWhat. You can click to go places?
>>736669856On the Magellan yeah
>>736670215Is this only during photo mode?
>>736670323From the map you can select in which room to go, it's no different than looking at the door and going to the armory
This was both stupid and cool.
The DHV Magellan feels like a subtle reference to REX from MGS1.
>>736670569Subtle? Really?
>>736667964>urgent delivery: 250kg of cheeseburgers
>>736670569First time it appeared I shouted "Metal Gear!?"
>>736670706DS2 seemed to have a lot of Metal Gear references. I don't recall DS1 being like this. The only reference was that stupid box scene in the post ending mission.
>>736670848...metal gear?
>>736669217Throw-it-back-man more like
>>736667964Why does this nigga look kinda like Sam Hyde in this game
>>736670874Not disagreeing about the amount of references. Just saying there was nothing subtle about it. It's actually pretty blatant.
>>736667964>Sam you know why they call me Deadman? Well due to years of eating poorly and neglecting my health, parts of my body started to fail. My fingers and toes fell off due to untreated diabetes. Both of my kidneys failed. My liver was completely shot. I've had 5 heart attacks. Etc etc. >Sam, what I'm trying to say, is that body is basically the ship of Theseus.>Hell, my brain is from a Mexican immigrant, thats why I talk like this
There should have been a LW version of the coffin. Ditch the hiding and body disposal functions that nobody uses. Make it smaller so that it takes up less space in the truck.

>hologram you choose on structures will only show up in other player worlds if they have unlocked it >gets picked at random if they haven't unlocked hologram you choseWhy
>>736667964interesting how Sam and this fag became friends over time and Sam even initiated a hug at the end, signaling he overcome being a sperg for fat ass man... yet he abandoned his only friend for months and let him die alone in Mexico ffs
>>736669217I actually ended up loving his dance scene.I wish it was longer.
Why does the phantom smith have gaymer leds on his shelter?
>>736672581i would just be happy if you could repair it like any other vehicle
>Sam, its Hardman. a new order has been added to your delivery terminal. Looks like its marked urgent. Even though you've done hundreds of timed deliveries im going to explain how they work again.>anyway, looks like the order is from Pants Shitman. Hes run out of chiralium diapers. You need to deliver his order as fast as possible. >but dont worry, the timer won't start until you leave.>oh hey Sam, its me Dollman. Don't forget to shower later. Looks like we are almost at Shitmans bunker too.>Not if I have anything to say about it! And I do! I, Higgs, will be taking those chiralium diapers! Muahahaha.>Sam, its Hardman. Shitman couldnt hold it any longer.

Was it just my imagination, or do the floating carriers not let you stack as much stuff on them in as you could in DS1?
Why are there so many [noun]man names in these two games? It comes of more as lazy than smar or even pretentious
I don't know if I liked this more than DS1.
okay but who was kojimbo trying to kid? it was obvious tomorrow was lou.
>>736676679>Sam, an order from Trans Jannyman has just been posted. Looks like some packages of tendies. Check the delivery terminal for more details.
>>736676408I think in 1 you could stack up 4 XL packages for a total of 8 on one carrier. It's been a while since I played DS1 so I may be spouting bullshit.
>>736676851Was I the only one who thought the, "Oh my god, Lou is dead?!" bit near the end came out of left field? I never got the impression that Sam was actually delusional and thought Lou was alive in the pod, I figured he was just delusional she was a BT. The Doctor even says right to him, "Oh, your BB is dead, huh?" and Sam acknowledges it. But suddenly Sam is going, "Oh my god, Lou is dead?!" so Dollman can claim he was trying to act a therapist and not yellow paint for the past 30 hours.
>>736669659>found the stowaway

>Sam, would you like to hear the story about how me and my daughter got caught by BTs like retards?
>Great work getting the weather station connected to the network. Now we can predict the weather in some areas.>and with our very first weather report, heres Ollie Weatherman
I've finished DS2 and had such a blast so I've got all the achievements of the original game and currently I'm having fun with DC. Damn this game is magical on the second playtrough. Am I only one here?I also decided to play it with DualShock 4 and holy hell Its gimmicks are working. There Is nothing gaming like rocking BB's pod with It in the trenches of The Great War while Mads Mikkelsen with PTSD Is lurking around.The whole game somehow is quite the different experience from DS2, desu.
>>736677812
>>736677550Was I really expected to feel bad for him?
>>736677963Now I'm also wandering if i triggered the flashback with drunk Cliff because I make Sam shitfaced few moments before.
kill Heartman
I beat DS2 a few days ago so I've been trying to think of a theoretical death stranding 3. i'm thinking the theme should be "evolution through advancement". whereas 2 focused on combat 3 will focus on verticality. for example, flying vehicles will feature heavily but will be tricky to fly and require lots of fuel. things like wind currents and weather will make it so that flying vehicles are not just a cheap "fly over everything" option, you will actually have to focus on controlling the vehicle. main story goal of the game is to launch humans into space. scientists discover that the death stranding basically does not exist outside of earth. takes place in Japan with a rocket facility at the summit of mt. fuji intending to launch a rocket into space. start in Osaka -> Kyoto -> ferry to Hokkaido/Sapporo -> Tokyo -> Mt. Fuji. "villains" of the game are Aum Shinrikyo-like cultists who believe that humans are avoiding their fate by escaping, and that humans should stay behind and face the consequences instead of attempting to flee. basically differing ideas of how humans should evolve past the death stranding, similar to DS2. in the end there is a synthesis of ideas: humans go to space, giving them the new ability to quickly monitor and connect most of the earth via satellites. earth isn't "abandoned" but
Why did they change chilled deliveries in 2 ? They used to stay CHILL in the mountains and would only start getting damaged when you stepped outside of snow. Now they get damaged at all times even in the mountains, making trucks mandatory to complete the orders. This sucks ass
>>736679287>earth isn't "abandoned" but observed and healed over time, with the contingency that humanity won't go extinct in space
>>736673597That's stupid and undermines the whole point
>>736674804jej and kek
>>736679287Should go with The Moon, just like Cliff promised.
>>736679670i had thought about that with the recent moon missions in the USA. If the game was started now it actually might be perfect timing to release when NASA is really ramping up on moon landings. It could make for a good final level, with the twist being that you find USA structures on the moon to live in, but it almost seems too silly>theme song: Blue Moon
The credits are rolling Im a mess

SPOILER FREEok, so i just completed the story at 214 hoursi was the one who suffered at the hands of the third neil vanai was the one who was determined to do everything possible before the endgameafter the run at terminal knot i attempted to continue deliveries, but after completing one and thinking it was all good i literally got cockblocked after trekking across the desert with two floating carriers and was told that i couldnt turn a delivery in because endgame reasonsso i just did the end runi got what i thought was the biggest spoiler a few threads back with the identity of a new crewmate revealed, but everything else in the endgame was a shock to methis is genuinely Kojima's best ending since MGS3what a fucking emotional rollercoaster
>>736681141Almost, there's one bit that isn't covered
Kojima is obsessed with shoving dead Lou lying on the ground in your face
>>736681351Now you can focus on genociding survivalists
>So, I have > 170 hrs in the game and am 349 porter grade currently. I've maxed out all locations in Central Region with 5 stars. All roads built and maintained. Zip lines to all locations setup.

Also, went back to all Private Lockers to see if I accidentally stored it. And, I don't see where it can be fabricated. Thoughts on what I'm missing or missed?

Also, any way I can keep this baby around?
>>736684867true
>>736685547No. By far the biggest sin in this game. I understand why but man. Sam not shouting like snake in MGS3 when firing it is a missed opportunity, especially given all the blatant MGS references
>new patch today>lod is even worse than the last patchWhy does it just keep getting worse?
>>736685227It drops your maximum stamina until cured. Using the canteen only goes up to where it's not "shaded"/damaged.
>>736685547Nope. You can't even mount it to the vehicles, which seems like a missed opportunity of "don't fuck with this porter!"
>check steam forum for new update issues>introduces more problems than it fixesI'm scared to update now. Game is still running for now so I avoided the update, any way to keep it like that ? I know I can disable steam automatically updating but can I still play normally by launching via the exe in the game folder or will it tell me to get fucked and update ?
I'm late to the party but I finally started 1that first mission was cursed I almost got r-worded, maybe the mountain path was a bad idea

>>736690403Faggot>>736690212Should not exist in the first place. Unnecessary stupid subplot only here to recreate the shitty gunfight sequences against Cliff. >>736677963Severely missed in the second game>>736669217Walking can of concentrated cringe
>>736691528Absolute cringe and stupid self-indulgence that completely ruined the tone of the moment. Also, the whole thing here is just The Patriots but retold differently.
I have no idea if this is well known or agreed upon but i just realized last night that the starting area of DS2 is 100% there because of Sicario. The exact sicario border crossing (bridge of the americas) is modeled, and like a quarter of the movie is drone landscape shots like the ones in the intro of the game.
>>736669328On the Beach suffers a lot from Kojima's self indulgence. i've loved every game this guy has touched but the EPIC GUITAR SOLO and a good most of the cutscenes were fucking terrible
Is the second game worth playing? I played the first one on the highest difficulty and it was way too easy.
>>736692574Kojima totally fucked it and basically changed the entire genre, so maybe?I liked 1 and hated otb
>>736692574If you liked deliveries and road autism you'll like the second game, if anything it feels more like a massive xpac rather than its own new thing. There's a lot more combat and the highest difficulty can be frustrating at some points. The vibes are different, don't go in expecting the same moody vibes from DS1. The story has its kino moments but it doesn't hold a candle to the story of 1.tl;dr if you liked DS1 gameplay you'll like 2, unless you hated combat

I hate how there's no way to disable this shitty background cargo shit. Constantly switching from Sam to the truck/trike and monorail cargo is insanely distracting and often makes text hard to read. Peak Jap UI design.

>>736699008The neurotic Kojima kvetching has gotten quite funny, he has to be doing something right if he's living in people's head this rent free
Aren't there supposed to be diagrams that go along with these? I remember seeing them posted here back when the game came out on PS5.
>>736701961Yo shits bugged bro
>>736701961>he can't just visualize the puzzle in his mind
So I found out that the Hydrogeologist is based on Refn's wife, and her in game daughters are their actual daughters. It's kind of cute, but I'm not so sure about all the big packages I've delivered to the chronobiologist now... The metageneticist can still keep getting it though.
>>736701961>>736702461Why the fuck is this even a thing?
>>736703412It's foreshadowing that the next game is going to have 3d tetris for inventory management.
>>736703412its for educating tomorrow
>>736670874>that stupid box scene in the post ending missionAnd that was added in the Director's Cut. I don't think Kojima originally intended Death Stranding to be anything like Metal Gear, perhaps for fear of Konami going after him.
I did not realize until just now that “Pizza-do” is a “pizza dough” pun, i might be retarded
>>736701961>>736702461>>736703630>Sam, how would you feel if you didnt have breakfast this morning?>But I did have breakfast this morning>Yes, but how would you feel if you didnt?>I dont understand the question. I did have breakfast. I had 3 cryptobiotes and 5 beers

>>736691528so fucking stupid and obvious, I loved it
>>736685547I love how this thing is a giga doom laser of molten lead and pain, and the truck mounted “heavy machine gun” takes twenty seconds to knock out an unarmored mule and only works from a range of like five feet.
>>736705209Dollman watching you sleep kinda creepy yo
Whats your truck loadout? I do two of the chiral cannons, armor, and all batteries (with one electrical shield) since its fun to stunlock the BT bosses to death with the cannons and most of the other weapons are uselessly terrible.
>>736674804and it would still be more entertaining than 99% of modern AAA game stories.
I just started the first one. How do I clear the rain? I tried throwing blood grenades at the floating dudes for a bit but that didnt seem to do much since there are so many of them and I only brought like 20 grenades
>>736706749quickest just to get caught and fight the big BT, you should probably just try to sneak past them until you get better options though.
I like that DS2 has a lot of metal gear elements because this way I know Physint won't disappoint me
>>736706821Thanks
>>7367055216 batteries, one chiral canon, one cargo grabber, studded tires. Armor slows you down slightly, so I go without it and fight on foot. BTs are easier to kill that way.
I really miss being able to attach floating carriers to the trike.

>>736706923It's going to be on the same engine. May god help us all because the combat in DS2 is kind of shit.
>>736672147>>736667964Is this a new thing?Deadman posting is actually making me laugh.
>>736676735It does feel different.I think it undermines much of the walking stuff by giving you vehicle so soon and terrains hardly ever being a challenge for them. Also the entire "don't kill humans" thing is kind of stupid here when the game is literally Metal Gear Solid V: Part 2 with all the "non-lethal" shit they give you.I do think it's a better game overall, though. As in, I would rather play DS2 if given the option.
>>736674804this reminds me of all the shitposting about sam tripping down a mountain and going “NOOOOO MY NIGGER SPERM AND PIZZA DELIVERIES! FUCK!” i’d burst out laughing at those threads but then director’s cut came out and i actually got to play it and i greatly enjoyed the game anyway. nowadays whenever people shitpost about death stranding it’s all just unfunny retards calling kojima a hack. makes me miss shitposts like this
>>736691528I make sure to regularly listen to this scene. based hardman
>>736691528AI.sloppa loses against human spirit.
>>736677812DS1 does have surprisingly good replayability. Recently started an offline run but I had to stop at the Junk Dealer when they announced DS2 was finally coming to PC. I fucking love DS2 and look forward to replaying it again, but DS1 is just a beautiful fucking game. Kojima, talented as he is, really caught lighting in a bottle with the first game. The second game is great and all but is a bit lacking in soul.
>>736679287As long as I can still throw containers at MULEs and hike up mountains, I’m all for it. I do want a sequel to this game, all things considered.
>>736681351It’s certainly up there. The overall story is a bit messy, but the ending feels nice to watch.
fuck man had to redo this shit because I bumped into an obstacle otw to Terminal Knot but I'm finally free from this twin. Now I just have to max out the Ghost Hunter.>>736707686Was this a thing in the director's cut? Shit kind of sucks how the trike can't do certain deliveries. Even with level 2 roads the truck feels slow as fuck.
I'm having issues leaving the crematory stealthily, the BT niggas catch me no matter how slow I walk with my breath held.
>>736708643>mountainsoh I think the endgame would have plenty of mountains if it took place in japan
>>736708839Japan looks uninhabitable here.Suddenly all those windy roads in Initial D make sense.
when does the adventurer get un-story locked so you can do standard deliveries to him?
>mfw that damn near direct quote from Hilary Clinton about how women are the primary victims of war, strife, ect>literally stated by the female members of the crew right after I get done with deliveries where I have to carry 50 bear asses across the savannah while getting shot by banditsLook Fragile, I can overlook you letting my fucking son die but this is too much.>Rainy witch hunt mummeryYa sure, we're doing witch hunts in a world where the god damn Death Stranding happened, who the fuck is writing this, if you wanted people to be butt blasted about her fine but pulling more "Oh woe is me, the female" shenanigans ain't endearing anyone.Fuckin' hell m8 at least lean into them wanting to get a freak in their midst away or something instead, you don't have to pull out witch hunts, because there's probably a few more people with equally terrible bullshit happening to them, like Heartmann.By god if Data Scientist wasn't the best I'd be rightfully upset about these shenanigans.
>>736708790>Was this a thing in the director's cut?Yeah. It added some fun things.
>>736708805Rookie mistake. Sprint through. If you get caught, keep running away. Sam has kenyan levels of endurance and can sprint flat out for like 12km without stopping.
>>736710319I tried that, reached a ladder and got yanked 50km back by some tentacle and had a whale eat me.I really wanted to play stealthily, is that just not an option?
>>736710425It's the intended option. But experienced players who know the movement system can just sprint through BT areas. Not sure why you got on a ladder. Just keep running. BTs can't go over water, btw. Useful to know when you get a vehicle and have to drive by a river with BTs next to it.
>>736679287pls anons critique my sequel idea or add your own ideas, i'm so bored after finishing ds2
>>736711497I didn't actually get on the ladder, I got to it and then the tentacle decided that I needed to be grabbed all the way back to the burner and raped with a whale.I had escaped multiple times from the grabby hands at that point.It really does feel random when the BTs decide to notice me tho.
>can't store heavy machine gunwhy
>>736712470It's too powerful to carry around whilly nilly.

>>736712671But I like having options, and it's fun shooting a machine gun instead of a gun that does the aiming for you.

So fun.
>>736712775So carry the lvl2 machine gun. It's pretty decent. I wish I figured out the pizza code and knew that it increases damage before I finished the game.
>>736712846why even play it at that point
>>736712949Re-read the last sentence.

>>736708790Ghost Hunters easy.I'm struggling to finish F8, there is only TWO FUCKING ORDERS available and I'm like 82% of the way there. Unlocking one that gives 1,000+ likes is 2-3 orders behind the one I need, and I can't seem to get the ones I need to unlock so I can do those to get the one I need.REEEEE.
>>736713034>Makes F8 saving trivialBT's don't know what hit them when you choose PikaBTchu.
>>736713193I never had issues with them since I just pillage every shared locker for lost cargos while doing other deliveries.
>>736670874Isnt Hackjima working on a NOT-MGS/Spiritual successor game?

>>736710425sprint or just reload if u get caught. playing tag with the Catcher is complete bullshit and a waste of time.
>>736713372That's the thing: I'm not finding ANY lost cargo for F8 except sporadically, so I'm having to find the orders and apparently the order unlocks if you do an order and finish it's unlock one are on a timer.>>736713798PhysInt, yes. OD is the Silent Hills one.
>>736713947Yeah, it's an oversight. You can put a hat on, but you can't put any glasses on, weirdly.
I get Rainy??
>>736677163yeah unless they just wanted Sam himself to be delusional while the player knows Lou is 'dead', its extremely weird. Even as it is, he doesn't really react with denial or anything when people say it anyway, up to that 'big reveal' moment. Whether its Dollman saying the pod is empty near the start + talking about the loss of a child later or Higgs and the Motherhood both saying to his face that the baby is dead.Hell Sam even says that 'you can't hear me can you..? because you're dead...' line pretty much right after he finds the broken pod. I just kinda assumed he deluded himself into forgetting after the fact, but there's absolutely ZERO way that Kojima or anyone else making this game thought they got away with making the actual player think that Lou was still normal in the pod after the attack.
>Homo Liberans: The Savior Of HumanityI'm free.>>736714164That's unfortunate. Is F8 your last one?
>>736674804Good shit
>>736715192It and Impossible.But I actually figured it out:F6: Standard Order 544 (To the Jeet) unlocks-> 554 (to F7/Ants, do not Submerge, use a Truck and Roads if possible) -> 555 (F8 300 weight, IIRC. 1375 if S-ranked, 1750+ if you do the MULE/Survivalist base stealth and undetected takedowns, only need 1 for +200 IIRC, more doesn't add).Instant 5-star.So now I just have to beat Mr. Impossibles last order within 45 mins. Not sure the order to do all the crystals within that time limit.
>>736715546Also I should say that the unlocks are instant, I didn't need a timer/waiting around to get them to unlock.Thank god. The order system this outing is more annoying than anything.
>>736715071Those hologram rewards are so fucking useless. At least in DS1, the holograms and songs would randomly be assigned to your structures. Now they don't, so you have to waste time choosing them. I'm too ADHD for that. Nothing will top upgrading a timefall shelter in the snow and having the Mountain knot guy waving at you while Bones plays. It reminds me of when I went skiing for some reason.
>>736715712>Now they don't, so you have to waste time choosing them. I'm too ADHD for that.Wait, they don't? AFAIK they DO. I've had them appear on level 3's randomly.
hehehe
>>736716185Genius. I'll have to grab the truck. Someone said to do it with a board, but seeing how many you have to grab, I'm not sure that's a good idea.
>>736669659that's just where niggerman stays

Had like 12-15 minutes to spare with a truck, though for the shorter trips you could get away with a trike.>>736716264The post deleted the arrows I typed down so I had to fix it, my bad. You could use the coffin for the shorter trips too but the long stretch between F2 and the Data Scientist/Pizza Chef feels risky with it.
>>736712949Zoomoids grew up thinking that the struggle leading up to a reward was pointless so they conditioned themselves into only wanting instant gratification, completely oblivious to the fact that it hollows out the reward. It is a sad sight but it is what it is.
>>736709580Civilians suffer in armed conflicts because they get crossfired. Wars don't happen on no mans lands like they do in videogames. Who's stronger, a man with a gun or a woman with no gun?

SAM DID YOU CRY AFTER I TOLD YOU MY STORY OF HOW I BROUGHT MY DAUGHTER WITH ME IN A BT AREA AND GOT US BOTH KILLED
swear it actually is getting bigger. i wonder if it gets bigger the more chiral crystals you have on you
FAGGOT DID YOU CRY WHEN I DABBED ON YOU
>>736719835I CRIED AND CUMMED AND PISSED AND SHARTED MY PANTS
Kojima really needs someone to keep him from going full retard. When the Cliff twist in DS1 was first revealed I thought it was pretty neat but then the game basically re-revealed it again and again in increasingly verbose and explicit ways so even complete mouth breathers could understand. When it started doing a clip show of the BB flashbacks to make sure you REALLY get it I tuned the fuck out.
>>736670489no you can't what the fuck ar you saying
>>736720402
nigga couldnt take it anymore, just jumped off this bridge
We may not realize it because we play so many videogames but DS has a lot of subsystems and is littered with unique little mechanics, much more than in other games. Manipulating the game is involved, complex, finicky and requires encyclopedic knowledge of the gameplay bits and doodads. Even you expert would be shit out of luck without any tutorials, without the command prompts, without studying the corpus.Forgetting mechanics is a reality in Death Stranding. Do you remember you can use generators to electrocute enemies?
>>736720641I'm starting to think you're hitting porters on purpose and claiming they jumped off bridges.
>>736720674>generators to electrocute enemiesI did that once to get rid of faggots on a truck. It's cool but I prefer stun bombs. I try to test everything at least once but then stick to my favorite ways>>736720641Murderer...
>>736720746ive only ever bumped them, heres the one from the other day who jumped off the road a bit too high up
>>736720294That never happens. You get the reveal, Cliff stands Sam up and then gives him a medal or something. That's the last you see of him.
>>736720771Alright, did you notice your electric batons also get switched to lethal mode?That you can carry two pairs of boots on the clip. That picking up small cargo without a backpack auto-attaches them to your suit slots. That guideposts attracts cryptobiotes. That BTs can smell your unshowered ass?
>>736719835ok I laughed
>>736721510>electric batons also get switched to lethal modeYes>pairs of boots on clipYes>picking up small cargo without a backpack auto-attaches them to your suit slotsYes>guideposts attracts cryptobiotesNo, I knew about piss shrooms but not that one>BTs can smell your unshowered assNo, I can't stand not sending sam to shower, can't imagine playing with a shit encrusted ass sam
>>736692184>Severely missed in the second gameYeah
>>736676679That’s just how Jap name shit, using fancy Kanji (Chinese characters) They believe name hold the true essence of a personSadly when translated to English they all sound dumb as shit Maybe he should have use latin or sth, like how they name dinosaur
>>736677163>>736715186The other characters literally say the pod is empty, but they avoid saying anything to Sam so he doesn't freak out. Also, when you first go through the plate gate, you can see the reflection of the pod in it and it's empty
>>736721738>No, I can't stand not sending sam to shower, can't imagine playing with a shit encrusted ass samthe worst stuff is, when you are so long out in the field and you see Sam's sunburned crusted face or his frostbite, finger should fall off, hands
>>736722169I'm surprised there isn't a nasty sunburn cutscene like the nail removal one from frostbite. I got sunburnt last summer and was peeling massive chunks of skin for weeks. Imagine how it must be for sam
>>736722015BB even loses consistency in the pod as the game progresses until it just becomes a light bulb and then it doesn't light up on its own when your rest. There are visual stages to the pod.It's cool and all but i just want to yell that i get it, okay? It's like this plot runs backwards from the end to the start.
>try to play nice and not kill>get one shot by grenadeAhahah oh whoops
>>736722781Imo its just Sam in semi-denial and not breaking down, meanwhile us players and the other characters know.only near the end he truly accepts it and it breeches his emotional dam
I wasn't that really annoyed by dollman until the boss fight with Neil, holy fuck the backseating>SAM THOSE GUYS WITH EXPOSED FLAMING SKULLS AREN'T HUMAN BE CAREFUL >SAM THEY'RE LAYING A TRAP UP AHEAD>SAM MAYBE TRY SPLITTING THEM UP TO TAKE THEM ONE BY ONE>SAM HE'S ESCAPING HE'S IN THAT TOWER >SAM HE'S GONE UP TO THE ROOF NOW GO AFTER HIM >SAM I KNOW YOU HAVE AN ODRADEK THAT COULD GIVE YOU ALL THIS INFORMATION BUT THERE WAS OVER 5 SECONDS OF DEAD AIR SO I THOUGHT I'D MENTION SAM>SAM NEIL VANA IT'S LIKE NIRVANA DO YOU GET IT SAM IT'S VERY SUBTLE YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED THATThis is worse than that bitch in GOW ragnarok that chimes in with her special needs teacher voice if you take longer than 5 seconds on a puzzle.
>>736718127You are only hurting yourself so it doesn't matter if it is single player or not. Instant gratification is a real poison to the mind.
>>736723536>you got everything then? Great, lets get it delivered!SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.where the fuck is a mod to erase dollman from existence?
>>736723536Yet you benefited from his advice like anyone else, how curious. Would you truly have fared so well or are you just convinced you would have?
>>736723623Play without cargo markers and retrieval quests are cancer. Thank you dollman.
>>736723337It's still a bad plot. Especially when everyone and their mother had figured out Tomorrow from the trailers. I didn't need to be spoiled on that one at all. It just saw that Lou had blonde hair/green eyes and oh wouldn't you know it, this woman with an unexplained past just happens to also have them. Couple that with Fragile directly saying she jumped Lou to the beach and it's just weird how long it takes for the reveals.
I don't think I'll ever watch a Hideo Kojima trailer again. I just know it's going to spoil all the plot beats like DS2, or give a completely misleading impression of the game, like MGSV.
>odradek light turns off after some actions like using ziplinesWhy? It's annoying having to keep turning it on again.
>>736723663Yet I can do the cliff fights without a little bitch voice telling me what to do, curious
>>736718210Though it would have been a nice twist to have a shelter instantly 5 star walking into its perimeter.
>>736720674>Do you remember you can use generators to electrocute enemies?Yes, because it says, "Hold X to Electric Blast" whenever I am near one.
>>736722015>The other characters literally say the pod is empty, but they avoid saying anything to Sam so he doesn't freak out.Yes. I know. Again, I am not saying Sam wasn't delusional, I am saying the way he was delusional. I got the impression Sam thought it was a BT of Lou in the pod the entire time, I never got the impression he actually thought Lou was alive in the pod. Then suddenly out of nowhere it is, "Oh my god! Lou's dead! Not alive but dead!" "Yeah, Sam, I know, I was supposed to be your therapist and help you ease into knowing but instead I spent 30 hours being yellow paint and doing anything but being a therapist to help you move on."
>>736724726Higgs also says that the pod is empty the first time they meet and then Sam keeps asking him if he killed Lou every time after.It's like the ending "reveal" came from a completely different draft of the story.
>>736724726Like the whole reason Sam goes to Australia is because Fragile suggests it as a way to move on from Lou's death.
>curving ziplinesbroken
>>736723663>Yet you benefited from his advice like anyone elseNo I didn't. His "advice" always came after I had processed the situation and begun to act. At no single point in the game did his "advice" ever provide me with insight, help, or even a new perspective I had not thought of. >>736723623I wish there was an order to deliver Dollman to an incinerator.
>>736724891>At no single point in the game did his "advice" ever provide me with insightThe one time his advice was actually useful for me was when going to the motherhood and I didn't know the code and he reminded me to check the corpus.
>>736724886Weeee
>All this because they didn't kill Higgs when they had the chanceRemember kids, there may be fates "worse than death", but there's nothing as final.
>go to magellan in postgame>option to take photo>take photo>sam wakes up from nightmare:(
>>736725037It wasn't specifically because of that. Higgs also made his choice to stick it out for 100000 years when he could have just ended it after 1.Not sure why he had a gun on the beach, though.
the madman actually did it
>>736674804kek, add in some fragile and tarman dialogue and this is it
>>736725160>Double MGsWhy?
>>736724837The pod plot makes sense but it tastes bad maybe because the way it's told creates a great disconnect between the way Sam sees it and how the viewer sees it. Wrote before that it put me behind the eyes of Dollman looking at this lunatic, no matter what this should never occur, he's my main character. There should have been a narrative point when Sam meets me where i stand OR keep it a secret, do an actual reveal that way i join Sam where he stands in the narrative.
>>736724875Sam just needed a VB longneck thats all
>>736725539i like em
>>736725124There's broken cargo of playstations on the beach, not too far fetched to think a gun could've ended up here. Or fragile left it there before being yeeted out by amelie>>736725160>7 million likesDamn, I'm at 363 TTW deliveries and only have 1.2 million likes
>>736725660I have like 34897 billion lieks, but that's because I cheated resources and built every road from scratch.
>>736724837Yeah, Sam manually acknowledges that Lou is dead like 3 different times. But it's only when Dollman says it that Sam is like, "OMG you're right" and then he starts crying.
>>736725539It's the most directly effective combo.Chiral cannons have long cooldowns.Mortars can't hit shit.Rockets hurt your own truck.
>press wrong side of pad right before pressing photo mode>take screenshot>sam shouts right behind coffin mech when leaving photomode>almost get btfo because missed breakdown on coffin
Detail about the story which is cooler than the pod.After Lou dies Sam kills himself over and over again until he runs out of bullets, increasing chiral density in the area and this summons the BTs seen in the segment, then he gets shot from off screen like in a war movie. Most of everyone took this event as some dream sequence but it's not. It's likely Mexico Knot dispatched an assassin or somebody desperately tried to stop Sam because he's brewing BTs dangerously close to the city.
>>736709580>letting my son die>sonRetarded secondary.
I really didn't feel like I was playing as a man grieving loss. There were a few scenes where Sam was distraught. But then once they were done, Sam had the emotional depth of Super Mario. Deliver the package bing bing wahoo! 100 likes! Dead child? I forgot all about it! I think that if your kid had been murdered, and you had long hikes to be alone with your thoughts, you'd probably break down once or twice crying on the path. Maybe that didn't happen cause Dollman was there to distract Sam by telling him useless bullshit. Instead, Sam was just alone, with some thots.
>>736727679>he doesnt know that Loumorrow is trans
>>736667964Sam, I see you picked up a delivery for Anon Unknownman. He's a prepper – the kind that's notoriously hard to please. But we need him on the network if we're to rebuild the United Cities of America. I added some figurines of his favorite fictional characters to the order. I know they're rather heavy, but you're the only one we can count on for this. Make us whole again, Sam.
>>736727679Is that the word when you've only played the second game?
>>736667964I'm 31 hours in and cant bring myself to go back to it. I've had the cargo truck for a little bit and I beat the mads trenches section and the goop monster chase while carrying the chick. I dunno I want to participate in rebuilding the roads and shit but getting the resources is such a drag and the combat is so ass and avoiding the BTs is ass but the game keeps making me do it. fucking mules are shit. I don't get this game but I want to. Also I've skipped every single cutscene and piece of dialogue
>>736712582Fat Bastards are the most powerful humans
>>736719821I actually never saw this giant Bloodborne moon in my game.....DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?!
>>736728486There's nothing to get. It's a game that wants to be a cargo delivery simulator with a bajilion minute mechanics to use and master and a feeling of unseen cooperation, but also a mainstream widely approachable game that makes most of these mechanics shallow and superficial. You can point to almost anything in the game and get an idea of how a simulator would design around it, then turn around and realize any interactions you have with it are highly curated and often avoidable. All the walking, load and resting mechanics get gutted when you get the bike, shoe durability or fatigue don't matter when every place has a printer and every other a resting room, sharing cargo is borderline pointless, you're told to bring ladders and ropes, yet can navigate just fine without them and the one place that'd be a pain gets a ladder shared in. The intro cinematic makes a whole deal out of how timefall bad, but in-game, it just wears down your cargo damage resistance, and if you're not blind, you're not gonna be falling anyway. And you don't get the option to wait it out until later – but once you're able to, there's no cost to doing it.
>>736677163Lou gets out of the pod at the end of Death Stranding 1, the twist is somehow more retarded than MGS3 snake not realizing that Eva is Tatyana>>736705209>dollman despite his backseating and handholding doesn't know how to answer the breakfast question eitherBrilliant.
>>736717981The Joker make up makes his flamboyant wanting Sam's D even more funny to me.
>>736720674>Do you remember you can use generators to electrocute enemies?Yes, and never used it because Shock Bola beats all.
>>736721775>SAM, YOU CAN'T PUT THE JEET IN THE HOT TUB! HE'S BEING RESCUED!Kojima knows what players did and stopped it.
>>736725813It's grief. He knew Lou was dead but couldn't accept it.>>736728486Ok, you didn't enjoy it. Great blog. How do we unsubscribe so you can unsubscribe from the game?
>>736709580Data Scientist alone makes up for all the shit women in the game. That said, it’s funny Kojima included this “being a woman is le hard!” bit when Pekora, who makes a living scamming men, exists in the game
>>736729679Ok something I've always been curious aboutIgnoring bosses (and they supply you with guns anyway), did you guys use anything except blood nades and the chiral blade to deal with BTs? I tried, but nothing came close to the two hit stun-kill combo the nades give you, or the stealth insta kill of the blade
>>736711910kek
>>736729993>Data Scientist alone makes up for all the shit women in the gameThis bitch only brings the quality of the game down
>>736729994I never fought them. Just get the reduced-detection goodie and some camo and run trough all areas. unironically unless you run straight into them, or have heavy cargo, gazers virtually never get you
>>736720674You joke, but I recall an anon mentioning he never knew about the Dark Souls roll. I tried that shit out the immediate instance I found out you could take the backpack off. Thought it was badass, but I’m one of the few autists that actually enjoys the combat in this game and the original one, so I’m sure other people don’t really care about it
>>736729982wah wah why you talking about the game on the game forum suck a dick pussy your game is SHIT
>>736730318I'm playing through DS1 with a controller on my laptop through Steam streaming while sitting on my comfy couch, and I gotta say the combat feels awful on a controller. I hate it, especially knowing how easily I can snap the bola gun (or any gun for that matter) in an instant to MULEs' heads with a mouse. But traversing terrain with a controller is nice and relaxing.
>>736721775Lockne/Mama was such a cool character. Easily the best “tech nerd girlboss” I’ve seen in any vidya. She was my favorite character in the game, followed by Deadman and Fragile. When I realized only Fragile made it into the sequel I got a bit bummed out. I remember after barely escaping Higgs’s ambush when you’re transporting Mama to Lockne, I let Sam and Lou rest and Sam sat Mama (still in the bodybag) next to him. Then when I started soothing Lou, Mama also said something like “Nice BB, good BB” and I thought it was such a nice detail. And the whole walk to Mountain Knot she keeps encouraging you and saying things like “You’re not alone”. I fell in love with her after that delivery. Her “death” or whatever kinda confused me a bit but I eventually came to terms with it and accepted Lockne as Mama herself, since they’re supposed to be the same person or whatever.
>>736721775was it explained what heartman did with her supposedly non-decomposing body?
>>736722015Lou’s new theme “Are you there” makes sense as the game sort of telling you that Lou is gone. I don’t know what the aim was exactly. They make it explicitly clear Lou isn’t there but also make it look like she might still be in there, which she clearly isn’t. I think it kinda works if you think of it as Sam just coping with loss and being on the denial stage of mourning. You just have to keep an open mind to Kojima’s antics, which I recognize is a tall order
>>736730318I wasn't joking and i didn't know i could roll so i'll be trying it today. Everyone is so bad at combat in DS and i mean all of you anons clearly do not know how to fight.I think that's partially the fault of the game for various reasons, but still, you complain a lot for a bunch of casuals.
>>736723536Whenever he starts speaking, I immediately equip him and throw him at the nearest rock. It shuts him up immediately. Most of the time, it’s safe enough to do it. But very occasionally he can get away with it and finish his sentence
>>736730594Mama was alright, but Lockne was a piece of shit. "Oh, I can't be with my sister?! Then fuck you! Fuck all of you! You get no help!" Mama had to sacrifice herself and her child's spirit so her cunt of a sister would think about someone other than herself. What a fucking bitch Lockne is.
>>736692165Wait what did it change?
>>736730318I didn't know because I always carry a fuckton of weapons when I go into combat
>>736725160Holy based
>>736730117Pekora is just Conan and Geoff and Kojima’s other butt buddies all over again. Then there’s the literal fucking birds that can somehow request orders and accept deliveries. Fixating on Pekora just because she’s a vtuber is fucking retarded.
>>736730937Changed a bunch of things to get the game steamdeck verified, gutting some of the graphics for everyone else. Been reading about people getting constant crashing after the update
>>736705521The technical>2x machine guns>6x batteries>Armor>Mountain tyres>Dedicated 10x rocket packages>Dedicated 2x rocket launchersRun around the enemies running them over while the machine guns take out the rest. Jump out, take IEDs, throw them at anyone's face and watch them blow away
>>736731228i didn't give a fuck about geoff and can't say i enjoyed conan but none of them have the overly cutesy act on. also birds are based, vtumors are not
>>736730498I hate to go “skill issue” on you but I personally don’t mind the combat at all. I grew up a console cuck though so maybe controllers just work out for me. Every Steam game that lets me play with a controller I’ll play with a controller. >>736730768Like I just said in my earlier post, I do enjoy the combat. I get why other people complain about it, but I love beating the shit out of MULEs/Demens in both games. Hell, I even enjoy Catcher fights
>>736730932It was mostly miscommunication. Remember Lockne’s and Mama’s reproduction systems got split or whatever the fuck, so Mama had to carry Lockne’s baby or however that worked. Then the voidout at the beginning of the game happened and Lockne and Mama lost contact with each other, and Lockne interpreted that as Mama running off with her child. As soon as you bring Mama to Lockne, the two telepathically communicate and Lockne understands how wrong she was. She made a mistake, anon, don’t be so rude
>>736717854You sure. Higgs without long hair
>>736731494Your reactionary behavior is exactly why “vtrannies” love to troll people like you. Hate vtubers all you want, but getting this publicly irate about them isn’t helping anyone. tldr; thanks for the (You)

>>736726556I love theories like this

>>736667964Not gonna lie. I teared up when he finally realizes he has a beach and kills himself in 2. Deadman was a true bro.
>>736723663>SAM, LOOK, THIS RIVER IS FLOODING>THAT MEANS THE RIVER IS DEEPER THAN NORMAL>I WOULD ADVISE CAUTION BEFORE TRYING TO CROSS IT>MAYBE LOOK FOR A BLUB BLUB BLUB BLUBReal useful advice across the board.
>>736732234Because the series is a courier service and not everyone wants to deliver packages as a main gameplay feature.
Love trucks. Love walking. Love building roads. Love making deliveries. Love the combat. Love throwing Dollman against a rock. Seem pole ass
>Sam can't see australian BTs when BB is sad despite being able to in Mexico>no autotoxemia, you can stand 3m away from a BT and calm him
I do have one problem with the combat in DS2, where the FUCK are my armor pads??? No, battle skeleton isn't the same thing. Why do faggot survivalists get to have them but not the player? Coffin mechs also have a digital looking deployable shield. There's a few things that enemies have the player doesn't have access to ever, and that makes me seethe. In 1 I used to put on armor pads and go wild on demens, in 2 it doesn't feel like I can do that because the slightest hit can be game over.
>>736733096In that case it's unlikely to have been an assassin but instead a surveillance squad camping out Sam from under a stealth techno-tarp. The city would know what a repatriate is so they're containing the Sam threat.When he hallucinated Lou and reached for her it was probably a BT baby so the sniper shot him to repatriate him or just stop him in his tracks, he was about to void out reaching for that BT on the ground. Maybe even Fragile herself because she did show up right after the scene.
>>736732901>He doesn't know
>>736733356Your greentext isn't something that Dollman says. You made it up except the part wherblublebleblub, which is HILARIOUS
>>736733859Holy fucking real, what were they thinking not adding these for Sam but having them on NPCs? They would be so easy to add too.
>>736733859But there is a deployable shield. Not having armor pads sucks though, yeah.
>>736734845Yeah I'm not mad about that one because we do have a deployable shield, was just thinking about the one the coffin mechs have because it looks cooler. Survivalists can also whoosh horizontally out of the way with their stabilizer, I got cucked out of a few melee attacks because of that. Now I never tried the max level stabilizer in 2 so I may be wrong, but I don't believe sam has access to this kind of moves either.
SAM YOU DROPPED THE WHALE CUM CONTAINER
was it rape?
>>736736719>WEIGHT LIMIT REACHED
Is the truck this painfully slow all the way till the end? I'm 50 hours in and have grown very tired of how slow this piece of shit is.
>>736733631>Play the game.
>can't put coffin as monorail cargo>put it in a truck>put truck as monorail cargo>this is allowed
>>736737178Are you carrying that much shit with you at all times to be using only the truck?
>>736737178It's a fackin truck.
>>736737610Typically carry a bunch of metal and ceramic to immidately build roads as I find them. Has saved a lot of time.
>>736706749It takes multiple trips, the reward is that you will clear out that area for a long time afterwards. Much longer than clearing out a Mule Camp.

I tried redeploying some cargo for an order I accidentally entrusted a few days ago but it gives me this message when I try to pick them up, what does it mean and how the hell do I get them?
>>736738728someone should show this to kojimer.
>ghost rider mechs suddenly appearing on the roadkino
>>736738951More like cringe, they fuck up the postgame by making the roads an instant fail state since you can't possibly avoid taking at least a few shots when they appear.
>>736738791I don't think you can redeploy it if you entrusted, unless it's already in the private locker of the destination>>736738951I love this now that I know how to deal with them. Too bad they only spawn in fixed places instead of randomly. Also disappointed there's no ghost mechs in mexico post story with the qpid on
>>736739469Yeah the option was disabled when I first realized I entrusted it, but that was a couple of days back. I'm assuming no one picked it up and then it just said "Not Deployed" so I deployed it. Now I can't pick them up. It might be because I'm also doing a main order right now but I'm not sure.
>>736739372Just opt them out when choosing the qpid option dummy.

>>736743268wait until you see a pic of her irl
>>736743268I feel like if you threw up every 21 minutes you'd literally be dead before long. Unless she is injecting nutrients directly into her bloodstream.
>>736743539Doesn't she only throw up when she eats more solid food hence with her relying on things outside of solid foods making her not throw up?
>>736743434Jesus Chirst, what the fuck is that?

>>736741049You guys are pressing Start, going to anything you want deleted, and holding Triangle to delete it, right? Please tell me you guys realize you can delete anything at anytime from any distance this way.
>>736744238NTA but sometimes player's shit wont' actually appear on the map so I have to manually go to it and disassemble it that way. Especially annoying when it blocks your zip connections.
>>736737178Roads LVL 2 make it about as fast as the Tri-Bike Off-Road. You can add Boost Signs to get it a little faster.
>>736744238of course I delete the shitthere are lots of spammy supply requests. I guess it's because of that apas auto perk
>>736744363Huh that never happens to me, I usually can scroll up on the list when you hover over it to see everything that's nearby that icon.
>>736743667She always throws up and needs injections to survive.
Loved the first FedEx simulator. Right now in the second game, I am at the station after delivering a kangaroo. How far in the game am I?Hope I'm missing a lot still
>>736744820Just look at the connection map, you're about a quarter of the game in
>>736744820>I am at the station after delivering a kangarooSam, you're a mother now!
If you place a please deliver sign near a delivery terminal and my sticky cannon accidentally picks it up, it's not getting delivered.If it's in the middle of nowhere I don't mind, I'll even try to deliver it if I don't forget, but some shit for Rainbow Valley left by the monorail instead of being entrusted at The Motherhood terminal like 100 meters away, sorry.
>>736716538Someone said to knock the camps out first, do a hot spring rest (so you don't rearm the MULEs), and then hit them with no issues. So I'm trying that method first. I gotta clear one more camp (the snow one near F6) and then it should be golden with the truck and/or board.
Bro got stuck

>>736712582Just because they can't go outside doesn't mean they cannot eat. Food grows faster than ever in the Death Stranding world thanks to timefall. If anything, more people should be fat.
Finished this on PC. Can't really be bothered to build all the roads and monorail now. If they didn't block fast travel and transporters for the last 25% of the game you would make more of an effort.
>>736729123I think it's random, but it seems to appear mostly on extremely clear nights. I've played for almost 50 hours so far and only seen it once.
>>736744820I'm not sure if it's just because I'm not rushing the story, but I'm nearly 50 hours in and just at the start of chapter 7.I feel like I was completely done with the main story in DS1 by this point, but I also didn't do as many optional deliveries until the postgame.

kojima just wanted to make her do this on camera.
>>736748539one of the best memes and simulaniously the most realistic love story ever told
>>736728317>>736736719>>736748608Crazy how low-poly the characters in DS1 look now that DS2 is out. It was such a good looking PS4 game, but DS2 is the first thing that really looks next-gen and yet it runs almost just as well on my RTX 3070
>>736746634Oh man, I was thinking about that too but you can literally just use the silenced tranq rifle to get all the cargo without alerting the whole camp, except the first MULE camp. If you want to be extra safe that would work but just so you know 5/7 cargo especially the last one in the mountains aren't located in the middle of the camp so you can just waltz in from the side and grab it easily, or tranq like 3 guys to safely grab it.
Sam looks so fucking old >>736748821I'm kind of dissapointed Kojima didn't do a bait-and-switch for this game.
>>736748821I was honestly shocked to be able to run the game on ultra (without gaytracing) on this pc I bought in 2019. Only thing that got upgraded is the GPU. Runs smoothly between 60 and 90 fps, with the occasionnal bad stutter introduced with the updates. I set the fps cap to 90 because when set at 60 it gave me weird stuttering that doesn't happen otherwise. First game I have ever used DLSS for though
>>736749780>introduced with the updatesThe updates have all been terrible. On day 1 I could run the game at a solid 60fps with DLAA, now I need to use DLSS and still get frame drops.
>>736734243NTA but oh shit yeah I always wondered what the fuck was up with that scene of Sam finding Lou. I just assumed it was some generic nightmare sequence and forgot about it.
>>736732234>Why did the game designed to filter normalfags filter normalfags?
>>736736719Always loved the cutscenes with Deadman. They were so campy and goofy but just to a point where it’s endearing. Some of the stuff in DS2 on the other hand goes right over my head
>>736732234>Why did DS flop so hard as a franchise?As much as I love the games, I hope DS2 is the end. I'd rather see the series go down as a "hidden gem" duology than get turned into KJP's flagship franchise like Metal Gear. Kojima's already leaning way too hard into Metal Gear references and "Kojimaisms" in the Director's Cut and DS2 which he didn't do in DS1.
>>736740619>cruising down the road>decide to auto drive and just browse 4chan on my phone while i reach the destination >suddenly get hit by the sound of my truck crashing and the cargo content damage alarm>some fucking jeet nigger left his bike in the middle of the road >last save was right at the start of my drive I wish that motherfucker many Dollman lines to annoy him
Monster > Timefall Porter > Bridges Energy > Chiral Tea
>>736743539I thought of this too lel. Even if she somehow constantly resupplies her body with nutrients, the stomach acids would’ve melted her down into a puddle of blood years ago.
>>736750379Timefall Porter is the best. I love the pun. Even in DS1 I never drank too much so it would always stick around. Shame it doesn't appear in DS2 outside of the intro.
>>736743949fucking kek
>>736750379Agreed. Fucking brigands have timefall porter but not Sam
>>736743949This is exactly how natural selection actually works. Your brain is hardwired to do this.
I paid way too much for this but this is very amusing. The sauce looks like tar, decently spicy, nothing special.
>>736750531>Fucking brigands have timefall porterHow'd they get the stuff so fast? Shouldn't Australia have it's own beer?I really liked the attention to detail in that structures in Mexico vs Australia are different, but I guess this one slipped under the radar.
>>736748821It's insane how good the game looks, how smooth it runs and how fast it loads too.While I was playing it I kept thinking that this is how I imagined games would look like in the future when I was a kid.The first game looked great too, especially the facial animations, but this game just looks amazing. The art direction too. Everything looks so thought out, designed and crafted.
>>736751230Screenshot was taken in mexico, not sure if the australian faggots have it in their camp
>>736751432Ah, from 'bridands' I assumed Australia. Mexico still has 'mules'. I'll have to look around next time I'm in a camp.
>>736669217
>>736751336>how fast it loadsThis is the first game I've played that utilized DirectStorage on PC, and now I wish every game in the past 5-10 years used it. It's fantastic, finally makes buying an NVMe SSD feel worthwhile.

>>736752035A GOD AMONGST MEN
>>736748539That pissed me off too. Like what the fuck, bro, she’s literally like a five minute walk away, how did you two not know the other was alive? And then they end up getting separated later. But then once you beat the game they become reunited again. What a fucking emotional rollercoaster of retardation
the pod is all fucked up and dusty.
>find game files explorer>trying to figure it out>find jeet textureNO I AM NOT GOING TO HAUL YOUR ASS ONCE MORE FUCK YOU BLOODY
>>736752904The scene where Sam is back at his shelter in Mexico and he tucks Lou into the crib and it's just a teddy bear.... damn son.I'm surprised both that both games have kids that get shot/die. That rarely happens even in movies.It's a little over the top emotionally, but I really liked the scene where Higgs has Sam in a death loop and the women save him and hug it out in the rain afterwards.

DS2 wasn't a good sequel in the slightest. It was cool yeah but not good. Just very very cool.
you wish you knew why they call me jackman
>>736754348best description, I feel the same. a shiny, soulless sequel
>>736754348Felt like a DLC. I wish it was a DLC.
>>736754650
>>736754348Gameplay wise it's a straight upgrade in most points, downgrade in some others like basic things from the first game not included or made worse (looking at you material compressing bullshit). I enjoyed the crazy fun vibes but it's certainly different. I hope the original draft for the story is revealed at some point, so I can be mad at how better it could have been. If there ever is a third game it needs to be massively different
>>736756007>If there ever is a third gameNever ever. Kojima is about 5 years from death and he's already got 2 games, 2 movies, and a TV show to make. KJP is done once he's dead. No "USB drive full of ideas" is going to change that. Look at Konami.
>>736756103wtf I was told cosima caminendes was going to live for 300 more years
>>736756221
>>736756007There was no different story, you can tell it was marketing bullshit. Looking through the art book they got to realize everything they wanted and nothing hints at an alternative story.

>hype myself up for the F8 BT battle>build loadsaweapons before i go in>it just stands there taking rockets to the face and doesnt really fight back>easy as pie to throw a sex capture grenade in its holewelp...
>>736749103Yeah, I found that out the hard way. I've been seeing if it's possible to hit the 45 mins without warping, but it seems like you need to and the board (even with a Level 3 exo) only carrys 4 of the items, so you're going to have to either truck or monorail them while getting the other 3 to grab them on the way back.If you use the board, you can cut times a bit massively since you can just "bayou taxi"/ride the rivers past BT areas. My issue is that I didn't clear the Aero request so BT's are in the area where you can cross the mountain near the East Observatory to where I keep getting grabbed surfing up the mountain to cut times to reach that camp.I'd be within like 30 mins if I could, which means it's probably possible to do it without warping, but I might just throw in the towel and warp over there and make a board to grab before warping (I think Cargo in the backpack can warp?) to F5, trucking all of it and hoping to hit the S-rank.
i wish to customise my coffin
>>736737610Some orders need it (380/600 weights).
>>736756103konami got fucked because 90% fo the talent left with kojima
>>736739638You probably need to reload before you entrusted. If it's entrusted it's stuck until someone takes it.
>>736756103He's just worried since a lot of people are retiring, but I can see a DS3 happening. He basically left the door open for it.The issue is, anything that is a sequel to Kojima's games has to have someone that "GETS" Kojima. Even the stuff he didn't do anything but manage (Boktai, Zone of the Enders) needed him to oversee it. Like, he let the MGS4 team go wild with Metal Gear Rising, and he STILL has to oversee cutscenes/theme by giving it to Platinum for the "cut... at will" mechanic.

>>736757707Just give my method a try. Literally the most braindead, hassle free way to get the order done. Absolutely no prepping necessary except having roads and monorails done. Just bring a silenced tranq rifle with a few extra ammo and park your truck at the edge of every MULE detection range. You can't teleport with the cargo if you want the S rank btw.
>>736667964I got death stranding for free on epic was playing it was kinda boring. All you did was transport stuff my computer broke down and had to get a new one. Is it worth a download it took 2 hours. Is it all just walking and delivering stuff or does it change?
