Death Stranding |OT| Peace Walker
- Thread starter Kindekuma
- Start date
Oh damn, I was so ready to make a witty remark about the need to pay for that! That's cool, and I'm glad that I won't miss out on that part of the game.
Gonna be scared to start this game.
I don't know what it is, it's just such an "event" to start a Kojima game.

Please don't do this to me *breaths heavily*
If this manages to break my mind in even a glimpse of what MGS2 managed to do, I'll be a ver happy man.
I kind of expect twists in the story, but I don't think it's going to be as upside down crazy as MGS2 was. MGS2 felt like it was doing multiple genres in a jumble with someone's unfiltered ideas going through as is. This feels more like a genre-story but it has all of that weird self-referentialism an unstable 4th wall, mixed with being believeable and thematically deep at the same time. But I eagerly anticipate where the story might go halfway in and the ending. I've heard some say it's a 40 hour game, so it's like pretty long, pretty gameplay-rich but also not a slog like those 100-hour open world games.
in just a few short hours i will be able stand a top the crest of a mountain, blast Monster piss, and then trip over my own dumb feet and die like a dipshit. then i will also play death stranding if i have time.
This happens for every new release, I wouldn't read into it.
I know, it's just nice to see :) Looking forward to streaming it this weekend too.
I do, too.
I was super bummed last night when I found out it's locked until release date. It's just a theme! :(
Time to dive into that beautiful isolated atmospheric world that I've been waiting years to be in <3
So the game does keep track of it? :( I know it's no big deal but I prefer not having to worry about time limits and stuff like that. Especially since you can't replay story missions to get it right later on.
my local gamestop (east coast) is doing 9pm, give yours a call.
i know its a big Gamer Term but maybe say "master race" a bit less man. (congrats on the early copy though!)
Installing now. Anticipation rising. Warming up Kojima receptors.
Special Edition steel book is really muted/dark and nice looking.

ive changed my console region on xbox after buying a game to play a few hours early, does this work on ps4 as well?
I mean Kojima's one of the biggest devs in the industry, people want to play his new game lol
No. Even on Xbox you need to actually buy it in that region. It won't work after you've already bought it. Changing time works for Game Pass releases but to unlock purchases early you need to actually buy them in that region (example: pre-order game from the Hong Kong store even though you're in the States).
hmm ive always just switched to new zealand, game pass or otherwise, for xbox and its worked.
Bummer but i will survive haha.
I'm surprised by the early positive impressions concidering that most reviewers had issues with the opening hours of the game.
I thought it was more around that hour 3-10 mark for reviewers since that is when it becomes mostly gameplay without much tools at your disposal and story stops for a while.
First couple of hours is mostly cutscenes, so I guess the people here so far are enjoying the story.
The first hours of the game are good. The problem is the pacing in chapter 3.
Just saw your edit and thanks again for your detailed impressions. And regarding the bolded...who are you, me!?
That'd be great yeah, I don't need to be hearing a baby wail in my face from that scratchy sounding speaker.
Cool.
The problem is that you apparently can lose a lot of time in early chapters when it would be very much beneficial to move forward. I think that is a difficult problem for kinda open games to solve, because there are a lot of completionists afraid of missing out if they would have been better just moving forward and acquiring more possibilities. But other players might enjoy the super slow burn. So it's hard to balance. DA Inquisition had the same issue. Stay on that first map and complete every marker and the game just feels super awful and boring.
Yes, you can configure the game to output BB's grunts to your TV/sound system.
Local shop finally got it. Was supposed to be yesterday.
Now to decide whether I should pick it up and play all day, or be a nice guy and take my girlfriend out first.
