Death Stranding - Review Thread (see staff post for discussion guidelines)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Any single player game that someone play for 200 hours mush have something good or satisfying to the gameplay. I cant imagine someone playing non multiplayer game for that many hours without getting something out of it.
cuz i thought people would find it interesting? it's the first game with a 40 since 2017 after all
that doesn't have anything to do with why logistically (even ignoring their quality, god knows there's a ton of even worse publications cataloged by meta) it doesn't make much sense for meta to add their reviews.
There are worse publications than Famitsu?
I find that difficult to believe.
daily star for example. their written reviews are barely above 3rd grade writing level and their scores are... questionable, to say the least. but they're still on metacritic.
Huh, I live in Costa Rica as well and I honestly have never heard of these guys.
Imma go steal their copy real quick brb
Honestly. I mean, maybe idle time counts and he just left the game running for like a week or something.
But yeah, seems insane.
I don't buy it that they played for 200h and considering what we know of the game I don't even know what they would do in those 200h, just walk around? Seems useless for a review. And I was under the impression that reviewers got the game 2 weeks ago, they would have to play the game for 13h/day for 2 weeks. Yeah, Don't buy it
ahh thanks for sharing. glad you enjoyed it
Cool. Did you read it? I did. And they go into detail of what they did in those 200 hours. They took turns making optional deliveries.
I haven't read that anywhere. Are you spreading misinformation? That would defeat the purpose of the whole fucking gameplay.
It doesn't repair fully though I thought?
Even if it does I'm okay with that because imagine making it to a spot to repair it and then it's only half ass repaired after spending your resources lol. And you still get a bad grade for trying to be mindful.
No idea. I also was wondering before what happens if you heavily damage your cargo half-way through objective. If sprays can be found easily this won't be a big deal.
Is this supposed to be parody because even as a joke this is less than juvenile and honestly really gross
I played MGS5 for nearly that long, building my base and fultoning the best soldiers. If Death Stranding has the same post-story structure then I could definitely see someone putting that much time in.
The original is real.
An actual review for Blade 2.
It's been brought back to prominence due to this
Oooooh, ok that makes much more sense, I was under the impression it repaired both. No cheating at the drop location to get a better score then ^^
So if a container breaks, the cargo is definitely lost ?
Hooooooooooly shit the late 90s/early 2000s were horrifying
If you drop a container down the side of a mountain, it will roll down and potentially destroy the cargo inside it. However, if you're in a timefall storm, and it's eating away at the container, you can repair that damage before it starts to affect the cargo.
I meant, if a container fully breaks, can I salvage the cargo or is lost for ever?
Depends - You'll get a message stating that the cargo is ruined, and a separate one saying the container is ruined... They're independent of each other :)
Interesting.... so it could be possible to pick back a damaged cargo without container ?
No, cargo is always in a container, but you could pick up a container in a "ruined" state
Famitsu is more like a marketing arm than a genuine journalistic magazine, and their reviews are definitely known to skew higher for companies that they have a working relationship with.
But to also be fair, their perfect score games tend to be really fantastic games. Even the games that are a bit more controversial like FFXIII-2 are not bad games and are usually beloved by the people who really clicked with the game.
Ok got it, thanks for answering, I'll try all the differebt scenarios I have in mind tomorrow night :)
container =/= cargo. (plus, not gonna click the link, too afraid of spoilers)
The analyst makes it clear that he spent many hours building a road of more than 300 km, and that fact led him to be the user who has built more structures to date, according to the game's leaderboards
(Sorry for my english)
This makes me think, is the world gonna be reset for launch ? or are there gonna be structures the reviewers made the past couple of weeks when we first connect a point to the chiral network at launch?
Rain (Timefall) is responsible for returning things to normal, those which are apparently not popular.
Yeah I know about the mechanic, but it was also said that the most liked and worked on structures can be maintained to resist timefalls.
So my interrogation is, like tomorrow night I start the game, play the first mission where I need to connect a point to the network. I play the mission alone, but when I connct the point, then if there was a big bridge or road in that place that was built and maintained during the preview period, will it still be here? or will they delete everything for launch so that everyone starts building at the same time?
Good question. I understand that the patch day 1 will not allow the use of previous saved games. So maybe those structures are lost. But I don't think there is a general reset
So if previous saves cannot be used with the day one patch I assume the world is reset, since structures are probably tied to the saves of their owners.
The Blade 2 review...
I was on the internet long enough (since 1998) to have lived through the reign of terror of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Knowles
Only an actual sexual predator could wire as he.
And yes. Famitsu is as bad and proven to be corrupt as Knowles. The worst "professional" review outlet I know. Look up their Piece Walker debacle to keep it Kojima related and the actual physical magazine is a mixture between advertisement and toilet paper.
