Started playing with no HUD and I quite like it like this.
Also one of my bridges is at 73k likes 👀
There's just more to things like scaling up mountains than something like Breath of the Wild. Trekking through a snowstorm is a game within itself. Going through a valley and being flanked by these fuck huge mountains and formations is unlike anything I've seen in any game. I like BotW, but the world is just something Death Stranding has it beat in. The fact that Link can just sorta scale a mountain in like 5 seconds after he has Revali's Gale and enough stamina really hurts the illusion of the wide open world that Nintendo are trying to sell. It feels more like a playground than an actual proper world once you're able to get from point A to point B like it's nothing. Conversely, it took me 2 hours to make a delivery for someone deep in the mountains in Death Stranding, no Revali's Gale shenanigans there, just me, my floating carriers, and the wastes. It's a fucking pain to even traverse these environments but it's within that I'm reminded that this is my favourite open world to explore.

Do premium deliveries on Hard
Noooooope
Dunno. With Death Stranding I genuinely feel small. After playing BotW for a while, Link starts to feel in control of the environment but I can't say anything of the sort for Sam and this post-apocalyptic America, even once you start rebuilding.

Yep thank god for that bridge some of those likes are from me :)
Lol! I never realized you can replenish ammo that way and I've been through practically the entire game at this point. I'd either throw empty guns away or recycle them. But good to know now!!!!
I stayed up most of the night playing this awesome game. Death Stranding just keeps sucking me in. What a ride/trek!
Disco Elysium had the same effect on me, these two games will compete with Days Gone for my GOTY.
I was playing The Outher Worlds... slowly, when I got Death Stranding, now I feel no immediate desire to play The Outer Worlds with its boring characters and overall lacklustre gameplay/world. Maybe I'll finish it later just to form a full opinion on it - but it has not managed to capture me beyond the first planet which was ok.

Hard to say, I've probably played no less than 6 hours a day the last 3 days (long weekend) and even at that I feel like I'm tirelessly thinking about the game when I'm not playing it. Honestly, I think that Alex and Jeff in particular are very "fuck you world I'm gonna be the edgy contrarian", both to the point that sometimes I wonder why they even play videogames anymore.
Dan usually is a pretty positive guy when it comes to games, but he is very fickle and doesn't have a lot of patience.
I think in general though, when a couple of them are negative, it seems to infect the whole crew.
I thought so... but I can't see any being offered. Do you have to do something specific to trigger/take them?Started playing with no HUD and I quite like it like this.

No story deliveries, only standard deliveries. Also you gotta unlock premium deliveries which is like half way into Chapter 3 if I can recall. Once you select a standard delivery, the option to make it a premium one should appear to the left of it.
Do you only see like a few things that people build in the world? Like if I quit the game and rebooted it would I see things other people have built or would it be the same stuff that I found the first time?
I have calm the BB 1 time and that was because of the tutorial, i have done 0 times.
I actualy tough you need to do it more but he just shut ups alone.
Don't do what? I've listened to both the Bombcast and Beastcast weekly for as long as either of them has existed, it's a pattern I've noticed with all of their personalities and how they coalesce.
It's fine, that's how they kind of are. Their idiosyncrasies are also kind of what makes them great hosts, I just don't look to them for any sort of taste making.
I rode my trike From the distribution depot for Lake Knot City, to the Weather Station. (stopping off to beat the shit out of a MULE camp, and delivering some crap at the Director's shelter along the way) TAKE THAT ERA. 😜
Also. I have confirmed what i theorised you could do during last year's E3 trailer. You can ride your trike over the ladder. You just have to be very fucking careful. LOL.

What chapter you on ?

Just putting the action or lack of it to one side for a minute, the game's overall presentation is off the charts. I mean if there is one criticism it is the lack of combat but that's not surprising unless you've gone into the game completely blind. The sound quality, the graphics, the atmosphere, the character designs. Then under that the way the whole weight aspect which impacts everything you do, the satisfaction from getting likes from building a simple rope down a cliffside. The way the environment impacts what you do.
The interviews are really helpful and they are really well written, they're fun to read. The songs in the game are incredibly produced, everything about what this game does is better than anything which has come before it which has tried to do it. The way some games manage inventory isn't realistic or the way you traverse the environment.
Everyone so bothered about what the game doesnt do which it never set out to do anyway, everything it does do is to an incredible level.
Its raised the bar for open world inventory management and traversal which is a huge thing in open world games.

You can dismantle those structures from the map if you're getting tired of seeing them
I thought he story said I could reduce the time of a mission for more reward, was that it? I couldn't see the option to do this though, I probably missed something...
That's exactly what Premium Deliveries are, there's usually some sort of condition attached to the order and if you fulfil it well, you can get an S rank Legend of Legends
i think it is really bold to deliver an AAA game with nearly no action or shoot bang for like 15 or 20 hrs. and for me it even works in this game, there are so many games where you shoot everything, this here is refreshing
It's amazing isn't it?
And you know what else? If you're looking for it there IS a fair amount of combat too and it's very fun with a plethora of tools at your disposal. I can't stop thinking about this game even after playing it for hours and hours.
It's not really that, it's just that I have no incentive to build anything myself since it's already been built.
So i unlocked them. But where do i see them. I want to make sure i don't take one before i ready to.
when you look at a jobs description, it gives two options, and let's you see the differences between normal and premium before you choose
Alright, what you gotta do is to go Orders -> Standard Delivery -> Pick the delivery you want to make by pressing X -> Then at the bottom you should see something that says "Make Standard Delivery" and "Make Premium Delivery". -> Hover over Premium Delivery and accept then you should be good to go.
I've only noticed it on the final part of the results screen where it shows your star. Not sure if you can see it somewhere else.
Open up the cufflinks by pressing OPTIONS, press left on the D-pad and go to "Bridge Links", hover over your name at the top then press X and it should display your total play time (I'm at 37 hours now ;^))
You can see that information on your save file or in-game by going to Bridge Links and clicking on your ID.
save your game, then load your save, the time is at the end of the save name
im at 29 hours
You don't need to exit out to check your hours played lol, just go to Bridge Links. I posted the instructions above.

Keep at it my guy!
I don't understand what the incentive for picking up random cargo I find on the ground, or taking optional missions is.
Why should I care. So far these are mind numbingly boring optional fetch quests that are exactly the same thing as the story missions. Why would I spend one second bothering with this?
I don't understand what Kojima had in mind for this game, but it's not working for me. It's the kind time-wasting optional stuff I hate, only this time it's the game too.

The better relationship with the places you deliver to star rating wise, the more upgrades/items you unlock, and story missions won't get you all the unlocks for a place usually
it also increases how much can be built on the network
also got me a purple hat
Clearly been playing this too much because I'm grunting like a mofo every time I pick up my backpack. But seriously, this is one of those rare games that I find myself thinking about throughout the day. There's just something really breathtaking and cathartic about traversing the landscape
The incentive is hoarding materials to build stuff (a road helps you a lot) or improving the rating with NPCs that in turn give you new/better items.
