Death Stranding

dunkey not a fan

I see many reviews when they complain about falling over. Why not just use L2+R2 when running? I never fall over unless I load a skyscraper on my back.

The climbing is not the best however. Sometimes its really easy and sometimes I just slide around.

Someone did a 5 hr 40 min speedrun:

I hate that menu screen (used as a pause) keeps the game play timer running. I take long breaks on pause which inflated my playtime so I never really the know my true HLTB time. At 70 hours now but feels more like 35

HLTB has average complete time at 36-43 hours.

Just finished it, was SUPER into the first 2/3rds and even ended up playing all night, just couldn't put it down.

I personally felt the final part was a bit weak, and much different to what the start was setting up so well (in terms of gameplay).

Anyway, overall it was awesome, would have been one of my all time favourites if gameplay had held up, and it makes me a bit sad too because I think this is the best mmorpg ive played in a long time,and its nothing close to anything near a proper mmorpg. If he ever does make one I would be very interested.

Ending is so fucking long, boring, bad....

Finished it today and I'm pretty satisfied over all. Like previous posters mentioned the ending changed the gameplay a lot and I didn't like the last bit as much as the earlier gameplay.

The only part I really disliked was the "war scenariors", I'm not sure if I suck at shooters on the gamepad or if it was really bad gameplay.

Click to expand...

It's not you. I do just fine with shooters on the gamepad and the controls here are really bad, especially when you're in a trench and trying to aim around a corner to avoid getting shot to shit due to the lack of any sort of cover system. Not sure why it was so bad in this game, seeing as MGS5 had great controls on console.

1 week in... I'm eyeballing the topography, calculating how to expand my zipline network with the least number of towers. I might have to put it up in MULE territory, which is a PITA. I check my boots to make sure there is plenty of tread left, examine the Bola gun in my cargo to make sure I have enough ammo, and roll out in my trike. Once an action has been decided upon, it must be put into effect immediately. There is much work to be done, and no place in this world for persons of low productivity. As I speed down the roads that I built over hours of back-breaking porting, I think of all those poor souls clamoring to run through the latest instance of their favorite pop-a-mole cover based shooter for the umpteenth time, opening their ugly mouths to complain about how boring and repetitive Death Stranding is. I smile inwardly as I pity them.

This is the life, gents. Chapter 6 in, and GOTY so far for me. I've experienced more tension running a heavy package through BT laden territory than I have in any MMO in the past 5 years. I'm more engaged building out infrastructure than I've ever been in any gay shooter you cream over. This game shouldn't exist. It's a singular vision executed with boldness and confidence, and backed by a AAA budget. Only a mad genius could have made a game like Death Stranding. I never really got the Kojima thing until now. I can't wait to finish this, and see what he creates next.

The first time I experienced a heavy BT incursion I almost shit myself. The whole junkyard floods with black tar, and the cars and debris you were avoiding suddenly become platforms you have to jump on to avoid a swimming BT whale thing chasing you around. It is awesome. This would make an incredible AR game.
