So people starting out should just beeline for chap 3 and do the sidestuff then?

Then nevermind. Then it's just a different opinion/taste ;) Hope you're enjoying it nontheless.
Just played the first prologue bit and... yep, I need a Pro. That aliasing is distracting as fuck.
Also need a better TV so I might just sit on the game for a bit and play it whenever I've got both. Really feels like I'm not getting the 'full' experience at the moment.
And Low Roar is my absolute jam (thanks to Kojima for introducing me to them back in 2016) so really good to hear their song being used for the intro.

I'm led to believe that after chapter 3 you unlock stuff that will make the side stuff easier.
I'd also like to know this. At the moment picking up lost cargo out in the wild and carrying it anywhere through a timefall leads to the containers being really damaged.
It is generally enjoyable. Sometimes it's just baffling the decisions and/or the priorities made during development
Wow fucking wow fucking wow. 15 hours in and this game is incredible every single step of the way. It's not letting up, not slowing down. I can't believe how much I'm enjoying it tbh as it's gone above and beyond what I thought it'd be all about. I need to go to sleep already but it's so hard to put down. Sadly I'll barely have any time to play tomorrow but at least there's the weekend......
This game....... It's something else.

Is there at least something like timepressure to deliver the cargo in missions?
I still don't understand how the missionstructure is after having watched a lot of reviews... can you even fail to deliver and subsequentially do you have to restart the mission if you loose too much?

I understand why the balance mechanic might annoy people, but it`s really not bad. If you feel like you might fall any second, just press Circle a couple of times. You won`t fall while crouching (as long as you `re not crouching downhill).
Played about five and a half hours tonight and absolutely loving it. Planning routes and what to bring and the active balancing all really make the traversal way more compelling than many of the outlets make it out to be. Built my first charge station next to a dead bike and drove it all the way to the first city. What would have been a 45 minute trek on foot was accomplished in 7 minutes. Felt good planning an effective route and making good time.
Really enjoying the story so far, even if it is very exposition heavy.

That's... actually helpful. I haven't really had any close calls since I tend to hold L2 and R2 a lot by default, but sometimes it's easy to lose balance depending on what you're carrying.
Better wait until people play more. Players implying that "I've played for 2 hours and reviewers are wrong" are looking pretty strange.
Best looking game on consoles? I think so. I'm super impressed by the presentation, how clean the image is.
Also reviewers called this game "unique" "one of a kind" "weird game" and I honestly thought it was pretentious. I've been gaming for a long time now and I play a lot of games per year, also im a big fan of Kojima, so seeing it called unique and weird i thought: "there's no way i havent seen this before or there's no way it gets weirder than anything previously done by Kojima" and IT IS, its a really unique game so far and im loving it 100%.

One thing I don't quite understand, if online aspects include things like roads and shelters built by other players and the craters from void outs - won't that dramatically change the game for anyone buying it (say) a year from now? So it might end up that it's just like full of craters and roads?
From watching some of the videos this seems to have a bit of a No Mans Sky vibe to it - like a great game to chillax with?

I'm watching someone stream it right now and man, this looks right up my alley. Do reviewers just get bored when they don't have something to hit?
Gonna have to wait for it to go on sale before I can afford it though.. already spent my money on Pokemon for the month.

Holding grip (L2 and R2 together) any time you are on perilous terrain with a heavy load makes it almost impossible to fall. It will use stamina though.
Have to join the chorus here and say that after the first few hours, I'm really enjoying this. The traversal has this layered interplay of micro and macro planning that reminds me of real hiking in a way I haven't really experienced in a game before. You're simultaneously managing balance, moving around small obstacles, climbing etc whilst also observing the landscape in front of you and working out the best route up that mountain or across that river. On top of that you have the constant positive feedback of the beautiful evolving vistas. It's honestly super engaging for me so far. The only other game to scratch this kind of itch for me has been BoTW, but then only occasionally (mainly when climbing something big).
Most reviewers liked the game and, no, those who didn't aren't just simpletons who get bored when there's no action on screen.
They get bored when your 50th delivery is the same as first and literally nothing changes until you connect to the chiral network.
There are only 16 or so people on the "server" and all of them are probably playing when you do.
Only seems to drop a bit during cutscenes for me so far. Gameplay is mostly smooth but I haven't gotten on the bike yet.
Resins can build things like climbing anchors or ladders can't remember which one
So if I put somethijng in my private locker you can only get it back if you visit that place again?
Seems like a pain.

I found three things that could be Easter eggs to MGS
- When Deadman is explaining things on your first visit to the private room and says it was "Game Over" for everyone, the Game Over font that appears on the map of America is pretty much exactly MGS'
- Mama says "kept us waiting, didn't you?" Or something along those lines when you deliver one of the first cargos
- of course, the Codec
Some might get bored, but this game is just not for everyone. You either love or hate it - and after almost 11 hours I can say that I absolutely love it.
Aside from the fact that there's no GOW or BotW equivalent to compete with it this year, I think it'll make a lot more GOTY lists than people expect.
Im on chapter 2 and am clearly seeing how the layering traversal systems can shape up to carry an entire game on their own.
I've sunk three reverse trikes so far and dropped another one into a gorge. I really cannot be trusted with reverse trikes...
Yeah, after you reach weather station, you will be able to see weather predictions on a map. Resin, like other materials, is very much needed at some constructions.
If it's competing against Sekiro and RE2Remake then yeah, i'd say a pretty easy GOTY.
Great - thanks. With the resins, do you mean you need to actually transport them to the construction sites? So there's no reason to actually carry them to distribution centres?
It's better than fine. Only has a few frame rate hitches during fast vehicle sections:
I'm more confused now lol!
I'm not sure how that would work because you can't always be online with the same 16 people, so what happens when you make a road which takes several days to make?
I guess I'll just have to play it an see.
Well its great to put them to a locker or share with other players if you stumble on them and dont have any construction to build or help build near around.
I was really focused on building roads cause 1 - they really help with side stuff 2 - you get a lot of likes for them.
I built stuff in the distribution centers, don't know if it's required to build there
He says "game over, man" It's an Aliens reference, not a MGS one.
They're not random.
Initial impressions after 4.5 hours? Much better than I expected it to be.
The writing is a bit not great (kind of expected that TBH), but the performances, the character models, and the details are just superb. The traversal stuff hasn't been crazy either. And holy crap, that auto-arrange option is GREAT, especially when you pick up some dropped deliveries in the field. Just pop into the menu real quick and you're usually set up pretty well with a good balance.
And whomever it was that said this game was "like American Truck Simulator but with a dude" a few days ago honestly sold me on the game ahead of launch. I unironically like American Truck Sim for just how absolutely chill it is. I'm glad I picked this up.
