Death Stranding |OT| Peace Walker

okay so i got the first network online. I have all this excess cargo, question:
Is it better to just dump it off for 25 likes here, or actually bring it to its destination for all the likes? What is the point of getting more likes?

I've definitely been critical in this thread but I hope not in a shitty or negative way, I really want to like the game, but I gotta vent sometimes!
In general though I could not agree more with you. "Critique" is so overrated and negativity isn't really worth very much. I could find an infinite amount of negative things to say about games I don't like and go around repeating them at every turn, but why? It's easy to find things that you don't like and make noise about them. It's low hanging fruit. Sometimes I just use the thread to voice frustrations when I'm actually actively playing the game and getting annoyed, but it can be really disheartening seeing people who, like you said, are just ultimately hoping that something else fails and will find any cause they can to justify their negativity about it.
Getting more stars for the various places because each star gives you something. But, once you have all 5 stars for a place idk if it's still useful to get the likes. Probably not lol
Was thinking the same. Human existence is a scar on the earth.
Damn, I been playing too much. I saw a car with some rust on it this morning and seriously thought, "he should spray some container repair spray on that."
I lost an entire MULE truck filled with metals and ceramics to Timefall rain because I was doing a mission and didn't park it in a safe place.
Felt really bad seeing the cargo is damaged message pop up every few seconds. :(
There is a cargo cover you can get from a prepper in Episode 3. Curious if other people have found it, but it sounds like most haven't? The place to get it is kinda hidden...
Hack.
Son has too much dialogue, replace half of his dialogue with him saying nothing at all and just staring as people describe events of his own life that he should already know.
Struggling to come across the resources I need for all the roads I want to build. What's the most efficient source? Raid the MULE camps?
I was kinda blazing through not doing any side content or paying attention to how resources accrue so I thought I had way more than I'd ever need till I came across the pavers.

IN my experience, yeah, MULE camps will net you a ton of resources. Just hit all the locked postboxes and you'll usually find multiple metal and ceramic containers (200-400ct). Load the truck up and head to the nearest paver! :)
Harsh but fair. I'm at the start of Chapter 7 and if this blurb Deadman says about himself is true (and that's the whole reasoning for his name) then yikes. Parts of this game do not feel well written at all.
I'm critical of many games, and even ones I enjoy; the problem is that there are voices positive and negative whom in ad nauseum feel the need to constantly invalidate other posters opinion. Also negative posters by and large played little of the game or none at all which makes discussion less compelling.
Like we've seen your opinion once, it does not need to be repeated then paraphrase as if it's some new take. Death Stranding is really making nuance discussion few and far between around Era.
I mean there's still a lot of meat to discuss in this OT but outside of here it's a mess.

Despite the divisive nature of this game I'm gonna jump in and out of my comfort zone. I don't think I've ever been so conflicted about a game in my life. Theres so many elements that I dont like but then there's things I know I do like. We'll see where I ultimately end up when its all said and done. I feel that I need to see it for myself and if I end up hating it...well...that goes with the risk.
Btw, I forgot whichever reviewer it was that tweeted how the baby was annoying and crying too much. What a load of horseshit, it's why you can never trust early twitter takes. BB is rarely ever an issue, I'm actually surprised you don't have to take care of him more. I legit would not mind it as it would make the bond stronger. But, BB rarely cries unless you're pushing him to the limit and doesn't need constant cradling.
Yes.
Yes.
I think it might be, it seems ever present in areas with BT's.
However, the timefall, while detrimental, isn't nearly that bad as to warrant waiting 30 minutes for it to go away. You can easily get through a full delivery with very minimal damage if you just bring along one container repair spray. Even if you don't have repair spray or forgot, as long as you don't fall over a bunch you'll be totally fine.
I was finding a good amount in the Online Postboxes and Shared Storages. You can check the Postbox inventory via the map, just put your cursor on it and push X, it will show you everything in it, so you know if it's worth the trip or not.
There's a good amount of it laying around, and then you can also recycle crap you find laying around, then claim the resources from the station. I found if you want to get any real progress on the roads you have to pretty much dedicate to it instead of making standard deliveries as you go.
You've most likely caused no issue. If anything it's the dogpile critics that make it harder to find genuine criticism like yours. And honestly it sucks. I personally like hearing from people who are having a different experience with the game to mine. I'd leverage a few complaints myself against small details like the menus being cumbersome or mission rewards sceen needing to many X presses to see the info I care about.
It drowns out people who are trying to have two way discussions in favor of shouting "i dont like thing" from the rooftops. It creates the echo chamber they love to moan about because in their view you either hate it, as you should by their accounts, or are a fanboy or bootlicker as they seem to like using now. There's no such thing as a mixed experience to these people. And to be honest there's no such thing as an opinion when they have their way because the idea of anything being more complex than 'I hate it' or 'I fanboy for it' is an alien concept to them. Even 'I love it' doesnt seem like the adequate stand in as for many of these people that's not a possible scenario, it must just be stans.
Its ridiculous and prevents people who are or aren't enjoying the game from having actual discussions in favor of a loud group who believe opinions can only be as complex as love or hate.
Kojima, give us survival mode as an update! can´t think of a better game for that.
eating, drinking, sleeping and pissing needs to be mandatory and all those bars need to deplete faster, i would love the shit out of it.

Questions (if possible to answer without spoiling):
1. Is the actual "death stranding" event explained in further detail (ie aliens or some other shit)?
2. Are the cities we connect all underground? We deliver these packages to some automated pickup system, then see a hologram of some dude saying thanks. Where is this guy? Is he underground with all the people in the city/station or what?

Can anybody explain the auto paver/road building system to me, please?
I`ve built a road yesterday and got likes for that everytime other players crossed it. Today I`ve checked and the street doesn`t "belong" to me anymore,
the auto paver doesn`t mention me, says the road was built by [user x] and supported by [users a, b, c]. None of those four streets I`ve built in the third chapter "belongs" to me anymore. Why?

To be fair the people that have issues with the many systems of the game are probably those who rush ahead doing a lot of risky and careless stuff that upset BB. I only ever upset BB when I get caught by enemies or when I go into deep water for too long.
100%
BB has cried maybe twice for me and both times it was because I started floating away down a fast river. Most of the time I forget he's there until he claps or cheers me on.
Here's one of the double ladders I posted about earlier. Sometimes I just added a ladder to someone else's. Btw you can drive over a single ladder with the trike, but it's a bit less nerve wrecking with 2.
Sorry for phone pic, kind of a PIA to get my screenshots without the FB integration.

the best part is you can drive the truck up to the postboxes (even the ones disguised as rocks) and load directly from there into the truck bed. Sweet.
...wait, does container spray work on vehicles?
Also this morning I was totally doing some Sam movements when trying not to fall on my ass with my shitty worn out work shoes in the middle of a snowstorm.
Right.
The first time I fell over or almost got caught by BTs BB was crying. The reviewer made it like it was a constant thing. It hasn't been for me.
I know container spray definitely doesn't work on mule vechiles.
I said it in the thread about Kojima dismissing negative reviews by saying DS flies too high for US critics and I will repeat it here:
If he were a Character in DS, his Name would be Dodge Critiqueman
(and I love the game so far)
Yeah didn't GB push this angle too? My BB has barely cried in nearly 40 hours, mind you I've only fallen over a handful of times, I'm guessing if you're not paying attention to the terrain you will fall over a lot more.
So disappointed in how some people painted this game before release.
I haven't finished yet but it seems too harshly criticized by a minority and having spent some time with it I can't say I fully understand why. Definitely one of the generations best games IMO. Then again I don't really get the BoTW or RDR2 complaints either, you should know what you're getting yourself into with these types of games.
Add a social strand with that player and it should keep his structures around in your world. At least I think so.
1) Are there visual cues for high wind, or is the logic just that "higher elevation = high winds"?
2) Can downwind be used as an advantage to move faster or should it always be treated as a hazard?

I just want to play more of this damn game but can't cause I'm stuck at work which s doubly bullshit since it's Veteran's day and my birthday. We're a law firm, that means all of the government has the day off, so no courts or anything government. Why the fuck are we open?
Nah, but my brain now associates rust with repair spray.

This thread moves really fast so I don't know if these are already answered:
- I've got an A and even a C on missions ratings. Does it affect the trophy and can I replay those? One was a main and the other a standard.
- So far I've only explored along the routes I've been doing between the initial four delivery points. Should I have gone out of my way to find something? Or do it in the future? I've seen for example lost cargo for the ludens fan side mission but I haven't got that request. Can/should I go way far where there apparently aren't anymore missions? I guess it's only unclimbable mountain but maybe there are secrets/easter eggs or even optional places/missions?
- Should I be throwing shit and piss grenades to the invisible flying dudes BTs? Or they're for the cthulhu ones once they catch you and gotta fight?
- Game says I just finished episode 2 and I understand it will be difficult to come back to this zone. Is fast travel still a long way to get?
👍👍👍👍👍👍

100%. Just keep playing the core path and quite quickly there'll be stuff to help you get around.
Don't worry, you'll unlock fast travel at the next chapter. Play each area as long as you like, there is no rush. You're piss/shit grenades are pretty useless, they only temporarily stun BTs and their gazers. The best use is to throw it at a gazer (floating bodies) so they don't catch you, but honestly you should just avoid them. Later on you'll get blood weapons to actually harm BTs.
You can retry side deliveries after waiting a bit.
Doing it later is fine.
No idea, I only use the blood ones.
The game just says if you have active deliveries on you they will get lost. You'll be able to return almost immediately.
