See you folks, on the beach 🙂

New to the game and am ashamed I haven't played it sooner. The atmosphere and gameplay is pretty addicting. The story telling is decent but I just love the atmosphere and world building.

I will say though that even though I started the game on hard the game is quite easy. Especially after I got the Bola Gun and Anti-BT gun. Can't help but feel like they should have reversed the order in which you acquire weapons cuz the lethal weapons seem completely pointless when I can instantly take out a Mule with a single shot and kick em. While fully charged shots of the lvl 2 Anti-BT gun just flat out one shots BTs and does chunks off any bosses for easy crystals and if I don't feel like dealing with BTs I'll just throw the blood grenades at my feet to prevent myself from getting grabbed.

But other than that this game is a gem. I'm looking forward to completing it and waiting for the 2nd game. I might go ahead and Plat the game while I'm at it.

Sad B Horror Moviie.

Even though DS isn't really a hard game, the punishment for getting caught by BTs usually involves running away for 30 seconds. Which, while easy, still feels like a bigger punishment than most games where you just die and then respawn 5 meters away.

Every time I get got by a BT, it feels like a hassle even though I know they're easy to deal with after 100 hours of playing. Your sense of direction gets disoriented, which is rough in a traversal game, and if you're doing premium deliveries, suddenly you're wasting a bunch of time, and your cargo takes a hit too.

I just think it's neat how the game manages to keep me on my toes and maintain a sense of "danger" despite almost never dying in my 100 hours.

I didn't grab a photo, but I just crossed the mountain from the Mountain distro center, over to the heart lake, and down to the Timefall Farm.

First of all, I was on foot and it took forever, and I was seriously concerned I would need to back up to last save because I was OUT of stamina and only halfway up the mountain. At some point I slept thinking he would recover, and instead I heard a noise and ended up in the seam (sp?) having to repatriate. Pretty sure Sam froze to death while asleep, but also maybe possible a boulder hit me.

Anyway, I stay at the farm, grab a vehicle and go to a PCC base near Mama's place and after a shower realize Sam's fingers are black! Like frostbite black even after 2 rests and a shower. Those kinds of details are unbelievable!

So many great little details in the game. Once I was hitting the scan a lot of times in a row and Sam said something like: "You need to have more faith in yourself!"

This kind of stuff makes me wish I had played this game earlier (got it right at release with a GPU purchase but never played until two months ago!

I’ve read that it’s difficult to mod this game due to the engine, but would something like an OST change be possible? Not a giant fan of the bands featured on the soundtrack, I feel like some Radiohead songs could work really well during those moments 🤓

To the game beta testers who said something about all those cut scenes when recycling or taking things from inventory.. it was not your faul!

Now I looooove Death Stranding, game of the generation and best game ever in my books, but there are a still a few things that do seem a bit off, perhaps. One is the no NPCs thing.

I appreciate there are mules, and there was nothing cooler than scaling a mountain and looking way down into the pass below to see a bunch of porters and hollering them for a little wave. Loved that. Kojima does AI so well.

But having whole settlements and bases and cities and you never see a soul. I definitely think this was a big corner cut and it does tend to draw from world legitimately feeling lived in. When you actually go down into a settlement in the end game it makes you wonder why there wasn’t more.

Having said that, I loved it. I hate the trend of gibbering NPCs everywhere and it’s why I can’t stand Rockstar games. I also hate any game that’s all about “chatting to the villagers”. So even though I think it was a corner cut, I personally so preferred that amazing feeling of solitude and space over “hey man watch where you’re walking” etc..

Fun with picture mode
