I just skim them now and read whatever's in highlighted in Yellow.
Especially when you're done and you take a bike across everything you just built and make super easy delivery runs!
:D
I'm just now starting Chapter Three and I've had the complete opposite experience over the last thirty minutes. The game's themes and... world(?) are amazing but I'm not sure the gameplay does anything to support it.
Game's tedious, yo.
Still loving this game a lot. Played maybe 20-30 hours, am in chapter 5. Sooo satisfying doing progressively bigger deliveries.
Anybody tried shooting and killing a mule? what happens?
You get the quest completion/stars filled out thing when somebody drops it off, yeah. Not sure how it works exactly, maybe it automatically happens eventually, but if you leave stuff you'll usually see the completion a few hours later.
Dead humans will eventually turn into BTs if left to necrotizing for in-game time of 48 hours.
Is that actually what happens mechanically? I know that from the lore earlier in the game, but how would that work... can bts even appear in mule zones?
Not ridden one yet... I wonder how many little gamplay parts and mechanics I'm missing lol. I do remember seeing the boost/wheelspin option in the menu, I just completely forgot to try it.
I have it. It's lightweight and has some lights - that's about it. But it's definitely to scale - so that's neat.
they won't stay in MULE territory if you leave them. Apparently the MULEs will dump them elsewhere after some time.
Just got to chapter 3 and WOW this game is crazy good. I really wonder what gripes people had with this. It's been a wild ride so far, and there aren't any glaring flaws I see in it really. My first surprise encounter with a BT was a trip, and is easily a top five experiences in a game this year.
And people blew off the "New Stranding Genre" quotes, but this really does feel like a new experience in that aspect. It's like the crossover elements of a game like Bloodborne or the hints you could share in Wind Waker HD but far more involved.

The BT fights, purely on the technical aspects, are quite possibly the most impressive thing I have ever seen in a videogame, period.
And the very first one I encountered, one of the most tense moments I have ever experienced in all of my gaming years. And it was such a great relief afterwards, to be able to recover my bike and my cargo.
Nearing 13 hours played, just started chapter 3. This is a great game so far, even if tedium was setting in a couple of times. It truly feels like a breath of fresh air.

Just reached Chapter 3. Been loving my time with it so far. And 'dying' (only once so far in chapter 2) blew my mind. Is the effect truly dynamic? It's been talked about for the last couple of years but seeing it is something.
Feels like there is a dozen of nice touches I want to comment on but it is 3 am... Some random ones:
- The natural formation of the environments and your full interaction with them is impressive. Especially the million little mossy stubs or mountainsides of pebbles... Feels way more real than any game before it.
- Your cargo and how you fit it is dynamically affected by wind. Overall the physics involved with the cargo is top notch.
- The social aspect is pretty strong. This game is actually quite busy despite all the talk of solitary and tranquility.
- Timefall rain that fast forwards time is such a cool gameplay enabler and neat idea for why things need building and constant maintenance by the community.
- The real time changes to the landscape due to BT encounter is the coolest series of effects.

Recently made it to Episode 5, and I'm while I agree that it's hard to recommend this game to flat out anyone, I'm genuinely surprised at some of the strong hate I'd been reading / hearing about this game. Maybe my low expectations are having an effect, but I'm having a really great time. It's certainly not perfect, but it doesn't seem deserving of the vitriol I've been seeing. Can't wait to play more.
Does anyone get a black box that occasionally flickers covering the upper-left quadrant of the screen whenever BB is on-screen in a cutscene? I'm playing on the PS4 Pro and I'm wondering if it's something like the resolution is in 4K while some BB-related effect is only rendering at 1080P, hence covering a perfect 25% of the screen.
It's not a huge deal, but it's a little distracting from Mads's beautiful face.

Being a repatriate/sores from lugging stuff.
If it helps, always show gratitude - or ERA are skewing the numbers?
To be fair, it is an extremely useful bridge as it leads directly to a prepper
honestly i think the reason why this game is hard to recommend is because all the AAA games are not paced this way in terms of gameplay. This is more of a case that the game system mechanics are good but you have to ask yourself is the idea of traveling and delivering things sound appealing. Thats why its so hard to recommend, low expectations or not this game is blowing me away.
Question about the bridge link system: do I get credit for likes/use of a bridge I used materials to help finish? Because I've built ladders and random things here and there, but the only big thing I built was I donated 600 metal to finish someone else's bridge near the beginning, and somehow I've amassed 15000 likes and went from 20 to 55 Bridge Link in a few hours.
Is there a way to check what is specifically getting likes?

Just created two and got tons of likes...seems like people like dem bridges lmao
i just make a lot of delivery post remember guys if you see any packages that are lost drop them off at your local delivery post box. Send the likes my way if you see them i always tag my postbox with use freely. Keep the lost cargo moving get them to there desired locations.
These BB detector arm animations are driving me crazy. It is bad enough that I can't abort the animation of it turning on, but the worst is when you are speeding away from some BTs and it slows down time to make you watch its closing animation. I have crashed and driven off cliffs because it slows down time, locks the camera super close to the bike, then speeds up time again the whole time I can barely see where I am driving.
I really hope they let you disable those.

Im moving on a truck, picking everything i see and then deliverying
It reminds me of when Marty O'Donnell was in charge of audio for the Bungie games. The day after he left they added a music volume slider. Some directors just want every last bit of control to curate the experience exactly how they envision it.
Still early on, but I've been streaming this so my buddy across the country (he moved over there to work at Bethesda) and others in our circle could check it out.
They are all suitably onboard with how weird and amazing this (evolving) gameplay loop is.
Can't wait to get to some of the places many of you are referencing! Also... are the #0 #1 and #2 things worth it once you get the uh, you know, blood things?

Just got to the start of chapter 3 and im officially sold on this game. Started off liking it but unsure if I'd be able to stick with it for the long haul buts it's really grown on me these past 9 hours. It taps into something. I don't know.
That trek at the end of chapter 2 was crazy. Took me two hours to do the whole thing but, when i saw the next city just over the mountain and the music started playing? Chills. Im finally there.
Fuck.

For those that have finished the game already:
I don't think it's much of a spoiler, but i'd like to be careful either way.
Does this game has that kind of ending where it opens up after the final cutscene and your map remains for you to finish side stuff?
I really want to focus on the story content right now, but it would be such a shame to need a new game plus to explore all the extra it has to offer.
Hope that's not the case.
