Does the game ever become a full-out action-fest? I'm on Chapter 6 and loving how little combat there is, but I'm worried at some point it's just gonna turn into a shoot-a-thon, especially for the final few hours.

Very slight mechanical spoiler.
You will be able to make another later, you can also find them left by players in garages and even on the map.
yeah, ancient egyptian concepts of body and soul are "peak Kojima nonsense"
sure...smh
I can't believe I'm rushing home to play this shit, hope I don't get a ticket. I am genuinely enjoying the gameplay, like actually having fun.
Bear in mind I was one of those people who made fun of the game in the review thread and I was one of those people who gave the IGN review a like lol.

Its weird to think we're all sitting here with this Hideo Kojima game hoping it remains a delivery game and doesnt turn into an action one 😅

Brought the game over to a friend of mine this weekend. Initially he didn't think the game was for him. I then let him play the opening hours up until right after the incinerator. He's now going to pick it up first thing right after Pokemon.
Yep. I'm loving my time just running an driving around between delivery points. I think it's because it just feels great to move around in this game. Also the world is constantly changing.
Well, I made a leap of faith and bought the game. I was a massive Kojima fan in my teens, and the story/setting concept behind the game really appeals to me, but the fact that this is a game built around fetch quests made me pause and almost pass on it. But I'm too intrigued by the narrative to not give it a chance, so here I am in the middle of chapter 1.
Can't say anything yet beyond the game having a killer soundtrack and absolutely astonishing visuals. Hoping for the best.
Does anybody can tell me if sidequests in this game are finite or endless? Just to make sure I don't end up in a loop like I did with AC Odyssey with its timed quests at the begginning.

But you can skip it. It's kinda tedious to so but you can skip pretty much everything in the private room
Oh lol, I don't have that one yet, but that's very on the nose
He has an order to retrieve something that I think is in the lake below where he lives, you can pick it up at the terminal in his shelter
God I love this game hahaha. Such a refreshing, different feeling game to the usual AAA pap. I really like the focus on gameplay above the usual shootbang shit and how the game uses traversal mechanics to keep you engaged.
Was a big fan of going though the first mule camp all stealthy like. Whilst carrying over a 100kg on my back hah.
I'm going though boots liken swiss cheese though, but glad I unlocked the schematic for the boots.
The BT areas are tense as fuck too.
Also I'm no builder heh, but I am a supplier. I'm filling up the share box with materials.
We will get those damn roads built.
I'm definitely going to post more thoughts in this thread. This is definitely my goty so far.

If you beeline for it, a few hours. It depends how much you get side-tracked.
If this is because you've heard Episode 3 is where the game suddenly "gets fun", I'll say this:
It doesn't shift to the point that the gameplay becomes much different, but it does introduce a LOT more options and it does open things up in quite a big way.
Very slight mechcnial spoilers:
Carriers that hover behind you, trucks, even roads. More grenades, non-lethal guns... there's a lot of gear that gets introduced over time that allow for a vareity of ways to tackle deliveries and encounters. Also player contributions start becoming much more common.
That's wierd when I got there there was only standing orders for other places. No orders for Sam. Maybe I'll check again, thanks for replying!
TOTALLY. Just spent 15 hrs on it saturday and sunday and was already experiencing withdrawal symptoms after only having stopped playing for 2hrs. Now I'm browsing this thread at work while constantly thinking about muh treks. Can't wait to get back to it.
I love the sense of accomplishment you get from building bridges and crossing them on your bike, allowing you to breeze though areas previously accessible only by wading through rivers and losing your footing constantly. Makes you feel like a pioneer.
As far as I know. It stays there. I left my bike somewhere during chapter 2, then after finishing a mission I checked the map and saw that it was still there. So I picked up and drove it to the garage for repairs.
Aw man, i want to play this game so hard again!
My waifu and 2yo son left home from friday until sunday evening so i can play i peace.
It was like the good old days, playing and enjoying a game all the time. Now the everyday life hit me hard and i can't think on something else than this game >_>...
More so i have to work and write on my thesis.
Help me ERA :(

I'm at Chapter 5 and all I'd like to say is fuck mandatory backtracking.
Getting all the way to Mountain Knot from South Knot only to manually head back to Mama because Lockne won't join the network
I'm still on Chapter 2 and if this is supposed to be the boring one, then I don't trust any reviewer ever again. Easily my GOTY so far.
lol
Have you seen the cutscene we're referring to?
Chapter 6 is way worse. That chapter is going to break people.
I think it's listed as a standard order, not an order from Sam. I'm still in Chapter 3 so maybe you go back later or something, but otherwise not sure about it. Sorry I can't help more!
Yeh, ditto. I was so apprehensive about dropping £50 on this, but I was hooked from the very first moment.
This is absolutely looking like my GOTY, and so far it's not even close.
Haha, to the bridges I have another perfect negative example to show when I'm home after work. Have one really useful bridge but 0 likes in the last 18 hours. All around it in 10k area. :D
Maybe it needs more time, don't know, sometimes it's a bit strange.
Same here. Got to chapter 3 and had to stop playing. I keep thinking about how I haven't gotten 5 stars with every distro center/waystation/whatever in the first zone. I'm usually not one to grind, if you can call it that here, but I find immense pleasure in delivering every single piece of cargo. Even back(trekk)tracking doesn't bother me the least, because you always get surprised by new structures facilitating traversal popping up here and there, and the landscape changing. Paths forming on the ground to highlight where you most move about is pretty fucking cool as well.
I think it's safe to say I'm hooked.
Just press the option button and select skip.
I skip every repetitive scene, of delivering, departing, drinking Monster, eating grubs, showering and whatever else.
It makes for a much speedier and pleasent experience.
I've used it almost every single MULE camp or encounter. Just keep sneaking from grass to grass, creep up on them with your rope equipped, and you pretty much take them all out one by one before even being spotted.
I agree with all of this except for the fact that the stealth in this is significantly worse than MGSV. You have less stealth options and enemies can see you a mile away. The stealth component doesn't feel as fleshed out as it should. The game really is more MGS than I think people are expecting.
but does your cargo have to be below the grass line, or is it just your body? i feel like i'm always hauling too much stuff for it to be useful
Yea I've put a bridge in the most obvious place, just outside the Distribution Center in the direction of Waystation and there are 2 other bridges in slighty different directions nearby that have thousands of likes and my bridge that's been up for 2 days has 0 lol
I'm in chapter three, and the game does feel like it's starting to settle in. The environment design here is great. Also, the MULES were chasing my ass all through the plains, ha ha.
The game is enjoyable to play, though I think I like playing it in short bursts, as in, play a delivery or two, go do something else, come back and play another delivery or two, etc. I think if I was forced to play it straight like a reviewer I would be less enthused.

For me this game joins the pantheon of truly great games like Bloodborne or RE4; it's not a perfect game, but it is so fucking good at what it does and how it does it that it'll be my GotY without question and will be a game I am thinking about 5 years down the line.
I don't know how far along you are, but you might want to avoid skipping the cutscene where Sam connects BB after departing from his room. Sometimes you get flashbacks you may not want to miss.
