I'm not sure exactly what location you start out at in America but a lot of it just looks like some area in Colorado before you get to the mountains. It doesnt really look like any of the midwest which is mostly flat, hills, bluffs (along the Mississippi), or forests. Not a lot of rocks and boulders. They seem to be everywhere in this game though.

There's an in-game and lore explanation for why the US looks the way it does in the game which Kojima has spoken about before and related to the Time Fall phenomena.

The time fall rain deteriorates everything, rocks just age slower than everything else around it and stick out (my guess).

Do you know how lore is delivered? Is it mainly in cut scenes? Or is it via files you can read at your own pace?

Ah just one more day if I'm lucky.
Store will send out later today and over 90% of the time it arrives the next day.

Time to see what this is all about.
With the exception of the trailer with the apocalyptica music I'm totally blank.
Only checked the opencritic score and that's it.

Should it arrive Thursdays I can also take Friday off.
I'm excited!

Not 100% sure but I know there are files in the game or at least email communications and such that I believe try to explain the Death Stranding event when you establish more of the Chiral Network.
Ok cool, thanks. Been trying to avoid as many trailers and media as possible so wasn't sure.
Awesome OT Kindekuma and looking forward to jumping in on release.

Forget to mention : if you are in Germany then Spielegrotte will send out today.
Preorder Bonus included as long as they have codes.

It was probably for the best that the review embargo was quite a few days before release day.

I'm eager to play it for myself

The physical "midnight" releases in my area are at Thursday 9PM since i'm in Pacific Time (Technically 12am in EST) which is actually hours earlier. Thats why I want to find out if its the same for the digital midnight release unlocking at 12AM EST/9PM PST.

Just to add, the physical release around me at Best Buy and GameStop is actually 9pm EST which is honestly why I canceled my Amazon preorder and went with Best Buy. Probably still doesn't help or answer with digital orders but figured I'd throw that info out there.

Does anyone know when the game unlocks on PSN? Not for preload, I mean when it switches from "preorder" to outright "buy".

Phew, glad you never said GoW +1
Well it is modified HZD engine so I mentioned that.
Nothing has ever made the Pro as loud for me as God of War. Even games other people complained about were relatively quiet on my console. Except the Blacksmith screen in Nioh with that uncapped framerate.
You should try Modern Warfare, its like GoW in menus, but at all times. And I actually have one repasted with liquid metal paste.

As for PS4 Pro being loud, Detroit: Become Human should be also mentioned. Hope that Death Stranding won't make my console take off during gameplay.

Since my Death Stranding: A Hideo Kojima Game Strand has closed, I wanted to thank the members on Era (and gaming press) who have posted there, and other lurkers of the Internet.

1.3 million views for a single game, which I thought is insane (especially on a video game forum no less)

So thank you all for visiting and contributing from August 2018- November 5, 2019!

It has been a good run!

Hope to do it again for the next Hideo Kojima game!

An absolute honor!

Wild ride bro, can't wait to shitpost with you crazy lot again for the next Kojima game

The digital version unlocks at 9pm PST on Thursday correct? If it's a midnight release in every time zone then I might just take my chances with snagging one at my local Best Buy since I know they're doing a 9pm release.

UK Era, let me know if any of the 'usual suspects' send the game out early today. Hoping they do and we get copies tomorrow - if not I'll just grab the digital version to jump in at midnight on Thursday Night/Friday Morning. I'll be keeping an eye on the usual twitter accounts to see their replies today and see if they are shipping DS today.

I'm in the same boat.
Do I pre-order from ShopTo and hope it shows up early or on the day of release or do I just buy it digitally.

This is the most painful wait for the release of a game I have experienced since... MGS4.

I literally keep dreaming about getting to play this game and my media blackout has been so hard to keep up.

Because my wonderful fiance ordered me the steelbook from Game, I have to wait til Friday and part of me is wishing I'd got it from the place that has often shipped a few days early.
