Yup. Almost at Port Knot and I have 300.
Sucks too because I carefully plan where I put things, I tag it, and I go out of my way to put things off the beaten path a little in case someone is exploring and finds themselves in a jam. I don't get it :(
I dont want to say that I dislike the game, necessarily. But for a kojima game, I find this highly disappointing. Its nowhere near as mechanically deep and interesting as metal gear solid.
I still replay MGS games to this day. I can already tell this wont be a game that gets replayed often. And maybe never at all.

Thanks. I thought I heard that number somewhere, but some of the dialogue make it seem like more time has passed.
It's not always optimal to grip for balance. There are times when you can sprint in a straight line even with a very heavy load.
Later on you get gear that even enables you to sprint over some pretty rough terrain. You can also use the momentum of your heavy gear to your benefit top gain speed, if you time it right...
If I'm not already heading to its destination I'll just drop Lost Cargo off at the nearest outpost or post box. Entrusting still earns you a decent amount of Likes & ratings boosts. For me it's not worth the time or risk to Precious Cargo to go out of my way for random lost stuff.
So they don't lose effectiveness if they take damage, and they have to reach 0% before that happens?
If so, then just replace them at a terminal whenever they get around 50%. That's what Ive been doing with all my gear. It's cheap and quick.
I found his cargo early on but didn't know what to do with it, so I turned it in with my delivery. When I went back, I had his location on my map, but no cargo. But I did a scan in the general area and found some. I think it might be randomized? But he's located
near the Distribution Center West of Capital Knot City, in between that and the MULE area but up on a cliff. So search around there with your scanner. I believe I found the cargo nearer to the river.
Took me about 15 hours to get through chapter 1+2. I'm enjoying it quite a bit! It's addictive.
Yeh, don't worry about gear. Just replace it when it gets too low, I think you can use it all just fine until it hits 0% anyway.
Are people happy with their baby pods from their collector's edition?
I haven't bough the game yet, and I really want that pod, but I want to make sure it's not a full piece of garbage.

I hope I'm understanding this then, Grenades and other equipment like ladders and such aren't reparable via spray, once they are ruined they can't be used? If so, I wish they had more durability because they're dying after one rainfall.
Eventually you'll unlock specifics pouches for grenades and blood pouches. But generally you'll have to keep them in containers.
also, this is a good time to remind people that you all should keep The Collector in chapter 3. He offers a backpack cover that temporarily protects items from Timefall. He's west of the MULE camp that's south of the Engineer.
Also a huge dissonance between Sam being an apparently legendary porter yet the player starting from level 1 and having everything explained as such. They even repeatedly say that you'll climb the ranks and stuff but like... Sam already has?
Just a fun videogame quirk
Had no idea how I would feel about this game then I played 15 hours of it straight....
I also don't think there is a way I could explain the game that makes it sound great but am just really enjoying it.
I absolutely love how areas evolve as you spend time in them, especially when you out some effort on yourself to do it!

I placed a (I thought) really helpful ladder and haven't gotten any likes on it, also some ropes that have no likes, but I only did them because I got to a point with no easy way down that was dumb to even go to in the first place haha
Just started playing, i saw one person put 3 canister like for delivery in the wilds, isn't that a waste of ressource?
Also why do i always get the same guy in my game? Why dont i find ladder from other people?
Also how many like do i lost while making delivery in another city?

Because he was freelance. Now that he's employed he's gotta start from the bottom.
Same here! Has been a while since i have been sucked into a game like this.
OK...what am I supposed to do at South Knot City?
How am I supposed to get rid of this fucking nuclear weapon strapped to my back without "abandoning" it and setting it off?
I bought the game earlier today and have been playing for about 4 hours or so on hard. I have to say the first thing that really got to me is how fucking incredible this game looks in nearly every aspect. Some herky jerky animations at times but they are only once in a while but from character models to landscapes I'm constantly just staring at how highly detailed and polished it all looks. Some areas of the city are a little lacking but the natural environments are just stunning. On top of that the cinematics are equally really impressive stuff especially when the BT's show up and are "stalking" all over the place leaving those puddled filled hand prints in their wake. Much the same the timefall visuals are crazy and all the supernatural stuff is crazy impressive.
The story itself seems is actually rather straightforward despite a lot of the ridiculous jargon like DOOMs and Chiral-this and Chiral-that. I think I have a basic understanding, at least so far, of how the world now works outside of the obvious stuff like everyone is disconnected and shit is really really fucked up. Also the themes are about as subtle as a sledgehammer but I'm finding myself kind of lost in the beauty of the presentation and the mystery of it all. That and I have to say its certainly a unique post apocalypse compared to your nuclear fallouts and your zombie outbreaks. I am looking forward to what comes next and meeting more members of the bizarre cast.
Onto the gameplay and I'm reminded immediately of a more robust The Last Guardian in some respects. Your character reacts to every little piece of the environment and just navigating rough terrain as a puzzle in itself. The controls here are a lot tighter and also fleshed out in a lot of ways considering the delivery aspect. Speaking of that I have to admit I find a lot of the complaints about the micromanagement elements a little overblown so far as its actually rather simple and stuff like sorting out your load can be done automatically with a single button in a second. It is a bit menu heavy but I don't find it overly so and the actual navigation is kind of what I've wanted for a long time in an open world. I haven't really done any combat yet but I found encounters with the BT's to be pretty fucking intense especially as one was stomping around me in a circle as my breath was about to run out before finally wondering off.
There are a ton of systems but they're all based around a couple elements so it all feels rather intuitive even if there is a lot to take in. All in all I had my head wrapped around most of the basic aspects within a 2 hour period and was already getting S ranks on missions. I can see how people would be put off by the game as it expects you to learn and abide by its very specific gameplay style which is tries to make even simple terrain navigation a more cereberal thing, especially with trying to manage both your cargo and actually getting to your next destination. I am now excited to see how the online aspects work and stuff like vehicles.
I do have some complaints, one notably being how there is no way to increase font or HUD size. I sit like 6 feet from my TV and some parts have me fucking squinting. Especially when I'm trying to see whether it wants me to use L2 or R2 to balance my load. You can see Sam's body twisting and tilting but it'd still be nice to see button prompts clearly. I've got some other nit picks but we'll see how those develop with the game. The Monster product placement was also jarring to the point I was almost offended by how fucking blatant it was.
All in all I'm really liking it so far.

That's correct. You can upgrade some to be more durable by completing deliveries for various settlements.
They shouldn't be ruined after a single rainfall though... they last me through quite a few...
those are the tutorial items the game places there so you can understand the concept :p the social system doesn't kick in until a bit later
My friend sent that to me yesterday and goes, "this is literally you trying to talk about the game".
Tbf, I went a really strange way to explore more paths and ended up finding a couple lone ropes high up with no likes. It saved me and I put some more ropes leading further down the mountain. Maybe it'll take a long time but I hope our combined ropes are helpful for someone.
I honestly get it now. I'm addicted to it but I could never blankly recommend this to someone.
We will be the shepards for others who make climbs thinking it'll be a shortcut and when they find it isn't are too lazy to go back down the way they came!
It's on par with RDR2 for me, looks awesome. I have to say though, the snow sections of the game - my least favourite. Thankfully I'm passed that now. Literally, trying to sleep right now and can't stop thinking about the game. I want to get back to it so bad but must sleep!
toss it into the tar lake. Hold the item in your hand, press square to swing and let go of the trigger to toss it.
Place helpful stuff everywhere you can. Every river you find, place a ladder bridge or a rope. Every rock you need to climb, a ladder or a rope. Build bridges where there aren't any, even if it's quite close to another one. Having multiple easy routes to a place is really helpful.
Put generators in open areas away from stuff, in places people like yourself might explore. Postboxes too.
The more you place, the more you will see what kinds of places generate the most likes.
Agreed lol. Just done one delivery up in the mountains that took me a good 34 minutes. This was 34 minutes of literally just trekking through snow and avoiding BTs. Wasn't fun ngl.
it reminds me of people asking my opinion of Joker. Like yeah it was a good movie but hard to just "recommend" a movie like that.
I just did 2 hours building bridges and lugging metal to finish other's foundations, lol. So satisfying but what am I doing?
