Not only a videogame, but also a sequel!

I've never played this game, but don't you collect your own piss and store it in bottles for some reason? Of that that comic doesn't depict that part.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Well.. yeah. How else are you going to make piss grenades?

Ohh right, what was I thinking? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

"strand" is swedish for "beach".

it's all connected.

I am so angry that I didn't just enjoy the heck out of Death Stranding, I freaking love it. Why did I spend 20 hours finding mats to build a highway so I can travel a bit faster?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I skipped this game altogether. I knew that I didn't have the patience to handle a Kojima story without the metal Gear background that I love. And i cannot stand Norman Reedus, I think he's the ugliest, weirdest, worst actor in Hollywood so skipping this game was easy

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

You’re missing out honestly. Its a beautiful game. Yes the mechanic is a lil funky and sometimes tedious but its bold and really makes up for it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For the Thumbs Ups! Think of how many other porters used and appreciated your highways!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

You're not kidding! I was obsessed with getting thumbs ups

Who needs inventory management when we can just roll over with stickiness. Let's make a giant star!

Like a katamari?

I waited so long to play this "delivery game" but now its one of my favorites.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's just so unique. I even found myself getting annoyed with the boss fights and plot, because it was distracting me from my deliveries.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Ironically in dunkey's revisited review he talks about how if the game was only focused on deliveries, and reconnecting the world after some event, and not beaches and BTs and bridge babies and all the wild stuff it would be a better game. But then it wouldn't be a Kojima game

Yeah I got so annoyed with ghosts interrupting me and scripted rain (which corrods your stuff) that I stopped playing after a few hours.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly I feel the best way to play any Kojima game is to seperate the story and gameplay mentally. Like playing monopoly but every twenty minutes your great grandfather drops family lore and rants about how the English are at fault for all the worlds problems in increasing long winded rants.

But I love when PaPa drops truth

Reject humanity, become MULE.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (4 children)

In case anyone is wondering, the game is called "Norman Reedus and the magic fetus".

Guillermo and Mads: My Two Weird Dads

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Funny. But it's actually called "Skyrim".

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No it's actually Sandstorm by a guy named Darude

I don't believe that you don't believe them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I don't believe in either of you.

The first Strand type game

[–] oleorun 1 points 1 month ago

I'm eagerly awaiting the Kuato DLC.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Was a great interactive movie.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, you definitely have to go into the game with the right expectations. I loved it, but I was also in the perfect headspace for a very slow, chill experience.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't know about chill. The first 5 minutes:

!Yo the president wants to see you. Oh BTW the president is your mother. Oh and she's dying. Oh and once she dies you have to take her body to this spot so that everyone doesn't die. Tomorrow? No right fucking now. !<

I couldn't get into it, and I've beaten every MGS, so I know how weird stuff can get. I'll have to give it another shot one day, but it was not clicking with me.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

It really was a slow burn. I had to progress through 4 or 5 story missions before it really clicked for me. Probably around the time I got >!the first exoskeleton!<. The story starts to do its kojima thing and sucking you in with weird questions, and the gameplay finally starts to feel like you're making a decision instead of just on rails.

Good game, good game.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, that's not the insane rush, that's actually a really chill first mission to help you get into the swing of them

The opening where you run down a big hill and then a cutscene where a bunch of shadow creatures attack and kill some guys really horribly and then a big explosion goes off and kills your character but the baby in his throat stops sucking it's thumb so he can be reborn

"Get the presidents body the fuck out of here" makes perfect sense and looks tame as shit after THAT

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I can imagine there's some crazy shit in the game, being from Kojima, but it's one of those games where I'll have to come back to it in a better state of mind. Maybe I was too baked to enjoy it at the time.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ooooh this sounds like my sort of game. I love visual novels and things like that, I really enjoyed GTA V because of the story (the dialogs are downright hilarious). I might give DS a try then.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

DS is like if Eurotruck Simulator had a story mode. And it’s about ghosts and babies.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Lmao I'm just trying to picture demons trying to catch me but I'm too busy trying to decide which axel configuration I want.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I never played Death Stranding. Maybe 2025, love the concept!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I got bored and read up the plot and decided that I'm good and then picked up another game.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Same. The intro is long like any Kojima game.

Then I tried it a year later and forced myself past the 5 hour mark.

Then another five hours.

Then 40+ hours later, I realized I do love this game. This really stupidly weird game.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

This was my experience. I bounced off it a few times, then finally got some of the interesting gear, then realized I had >!reconnected a player-built Zipline section in the last area of the game!<, was nearing its end, and I didn't wanna leave the world quite yet hahah.

One of the few open-world games that I enjoyed just existing in, doing the menial busy-work. Growing attached to my carts as Norman Reedus grows attached to BB... Such a bizarre experience.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It was a fun chill game til the scary ghosts got involved…

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

The gameplay was fun (though I agree about the ghosts), but I found the writing obnoxious. Super melodramatic and weirdly absurdist, but at the same time really quite tedious.
