I love making it to a new destination and then turning back around and going back to the one before, picking up all the lost cargo between and making sure those parcels get to their rightful home.

I'M SO FUCKING GLAD PATIENCE IS IN THE GAME

That gave me fucking chills man. Walking to the Distro Center at Lake Knot with that playing in the background was actual gooseskin. If St. Eriksplan is in the game I'm gonna go nuts.

Having stumbled through the forest and lost my cargo to a BT attack once before, I decided to take the more perilous trek through the mountainside. The mist rising from the timefall permeated the forest below, a reminder of the dangers that lurked there. I made my way through the rocky ridges, slowly and carefully. I was making good progress.

Until my device suddenly clicked intensely and I was INSTANTLY dragged back down into the forest, the camera switching to first person view as I slid through the muck, with all my cargo lost behind me, in the mountains. I sprinted. Ran for my life! Eventually, after a long chase and many close calls, the Cthulhu squid monster chasing me faded, and I received a transmission that I was safe.

I returned to the mountain to retrieve my cargo, and finished making my way to the power station.

What an intense ride that was.
Damn. Wild ride. I love how you get to decide your route and each have their advantages with possible pitfalls.

So how do I use resins? I am at a waystation, but no option to use them? Do I have to directly use them to repair structures? I assumed they broke down into my materials inventory? Or maybe I haven't gotten far enough along in the story?
Pick the recycle option on the delivery menu. Resin is a material for building.

- why show Fragiles ass in an early shot just after she
showed and told you that she's wrinkly from neck to toe because of the timefall?
It actually would have been an interesting subversion of Kojima's reputation if they'd shown:

Her old, wrinkled ass outside the leather pants, just to mess around with people who've grown used to his lecherous tendencies.

Anyone with the Digital Deluxe version get their code for Timefall yet? They are supposed to e-mail you a code with a link but I have yet to see mine. Description on the store said it was going to be available on the 8th.

What about a collaboration between Kojima and the No Man's Sky team for part 2?

Kojima's brilliance in story telling + traveling from planet to planet with insane graphics using a Norman Reedus sounds good to me.

Do they really expect people to complete standard orders by walking all the way back to the capital? lol seems insane now

Also is there a way to cancel an order you've started? I've picked a standard order up and I'm kinda regretting it
Is it one of the first three you can do? I picked up those and I had no room for the mega big Sam order. But that one says doing it on foot would be hard - so I just left it for now. The other three have you stop back at each station you've been to before returning to the first city. I think that's what the game wants/expects you to do?

Yeah it's one of the three at the wind warm. Once I left the facility I got a pop saying I can cancel standing orders but it might take about 12 hours before I can redo it

Just complaining about the Bts but getting the toolbox back in chapter 3 was real tense. Really recognise the guy who gives you the mission but can't think where from

I delivered a ton of lost HEAVY cargo all the way back there 😂. Why not? Made it easier by placing some strategic ropes & ladders. Gotta hope someone smashes that 'like' button and all!

The ordradek cinematic that happens every time you're in BT territory....gets old.

Once or twice is cool, then the game should have ot do it's thing without the pause, zoom in, transformer animation....then the player can resume control.

I'm waiting for this as well. By the way, I'm absolutely loving this game and I'm only on chapter 2.

Anyone know how to get a vehicle on the episode/chapter 3 area? I miss my bike :(
Finish up Order 21 (it's like the third/fourth order you complete once you get to Lake Knot) then you'll get the blueprint to start being able to fabricate Reverse Trikes at any UCA Distribution Center.

Yea there's way too many short ingame cutscenes like that which are extremely annoying.

Not a judgement on any person or reviewer who dislikes the game, but I partially wonder if it has anything to do with the power fantasy aspect of games (or lack thereof in DS) that is throwing them off. Death Stranding definitely makes you feel not so powerful, to the point where getting a bike makes you feel extreme gratitude.

So far I'm absolutely in love with it. Haven't played a game 6 hours straight in years. Definitely do not understand the takes of some of the gaming press. Especially the ones who hated the first 10 hours. Each to their own though. I just know now that I won't trust Giant Bomb for any critical analysis. They are purely entertainment value at this point for me.

I've listened to them for years and I've noticed that they can be overly cynical about games. will definitely need to redbox this game to judge it for myself.

Man every other DS thread is an excuse for people to shit on a game they haven't played.

Oh amazing :) thanks vestan coming to the rescue as usual. I'm in order 22 right now so I may have the ability already. I'll head back to Lake Knot soon and check.

Has there been any analysis of the HDR, struggling to land on settings that I like. The brightness in game thing (make picture on left invisible) seems too dark.

The world is interesting, the characters and their backgrounds also, and the graphics are superb. But the entire concept falls flat on its face with the walking around part, will see how this goes when I unlock vehicles.

This would have been waay better as a post-apocalyptic truck driver with the occassional convoy attacks like in a Mad Max movie.

I feel like this is the opposite to RDR2 so far.

Didn't do so well critically (although not terrible) but seems to be getting very positive feedback from people playing.

I remember the first day of Red Dead people starting turning on that game very quickly. I personally loved it though.


99 percent of reception has to do with being platform exclusive or not. Almost all multiplats are received negatively on the internet (yet still sell much more than the exclusives)

Although this is technically in superior form on windows pc i guess eventually.

Of course there are exceptions that prove the rule.

Lets say call of duty. Im sure most chatter toward it is negative and it has little hype, yet it will outsell almost all games with ease.

I turned up brightness so the left was barely visible and set up HDR afterwards. The HDR setting menu is weird. Used to having a luminance and paper white setting but I'm not sure what it's controlling in this game. All I see that changes in the reference image is the sky becoming blown out or dark, but no change to anything else.

What button do I press to retract ladders and go into bridge menus. It looks like the analog stick pressed down but that's not working. Pressed every button and nothing makes the menu pop up...

Only played a few hours. Liking it. Only issue I have is the PS4 theme I got for pre-ordering won't unlock. Keeps saying I need to purchase it from the store.

Try refreshing your licenses. On your PS4s main menu go to [SETTINGS]->[ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT]->[RESTORE LICENSES]

Worked for me when I had a similar issue recently.

After spending a considerable amount of time in the Lake Knot City private room, it's time to make my first few deliveries in the region. Gotta deliver some Gun Parts, Anti-BT Weapons, an Evo-devo unit and some Prescription Medicine. I decided to go deliver all of these to the three preppers in one go around so I made sure to pack a bunch of Hematic Grenades and Blood Bags for any sneaky BTs that are looking to try some shit, and two PCCs to build a Watchtower to scout for some MULEs and make a postbox. Also got me some Climbing Anchors and Ladders to brave the harsh terrain. Got a decent haul here so I hope I get these out in a decent condition. Wish me luck friends!

Finished the first introduction (I suppose), almost 3h of pure enjoyment, and I was playing with a buddy of mine commenting about everything.
I did not have such a good time since PSX era, when we just wondered about the games we played, even making up completely bonkers theories.

This game looks insanely good, but it's my first time with the PS4PRO on a 2h old 60'' with no hdr, no 4k and stuff.
I can't fathom to think how good is on a recent TV.

And it's gloriously filled with "kojimeries".
I suppose I'm not. Being very objective at the moment, let's see in about 20h... When supposedly it's when most people are losing their patience.
