Death Stranding
 


I'm still hyped to the eyeballs for this weird-arse game. Only a couple of weeks left until release and I can finally find out what Daryl's bottle baby is all about :flutter:

Ramsay 23-10-2019 05:28 PM

I'm also extremely hyped for a big old dose of weird kojima-ness :lovedup:

Toy Soldier 07-11-2019 02:27 PM

Midnight tonight :worry:

I'll be downloading overnight and ready to Daryl my way across the Kojimapocalypse tomorrow.

I don’t understand what the majority of reviews are saying about this game they’re like it’s a chore to get through/boring but it’s important

Cracker say what??

Tom4784 07-11-2019 03:35 PM

I had it pre-ordered until recently, I think I'll wait until it's on sale.

Looks kinda boring, its apparently just an Amazon delivery man simulator

Yes it will be pretentious Kojima self-indulgence with cutscenes that are far too long, and some people will find it utterly unplayable and that will be part of what makes it unmissable. I feel like you have to know what you're getting into though.

Ramsay 07-11-2019 06:30 PM

I've a feeling the majority of people will hate it at first but then it will become a cult classic in a few years

Toy Soldier 08-11-2019 04:29 PM

So thus far

1) Yes, delivering stuff :joker:

2) Yes, very long and bizarre cutscenes

3) The delivering parcels is oddly addictive and compelling??

4) The graphics are amazing. I have literally not seen better, ever, some of the landscapes are approaching photorealism... It's been a long time since I've played a game and been gobsmacked by the scenery / cutscenes ... I suspect this is the absolute peak of the PS4 hardware right here.


As I expected I'm loving it so far but its probably not for everyone.

Can you leave a card if the person is out?

I stopped playing detroit when I spent half an hour cleaning up pizza boxes and getting the washing in.

Hahaha, it's not on par with that... Whilst you are indeed delivering parcels, it's across a post apocalyptic landscape so there's a lot of figuring out how to scale cliffs, etc.

And obviously the plot isn't about parcels... It's just a large part of the game mechanic.

LukeB 08-11-2019 07:04 PM

This looks boring watching it on twitch :skull:

Ramsay 08-11-2019 07:45 PM

Like TS said, It's weirdly addictive and compelling.
The story has me hooked. Lots of people won't like the hours and hours of cutscenes but I grew up on the MGS series so I love it haha

The cutscenes are long but they're still not in the league of MGS4 :joker:. That really did push it a couple of times. Me and my girlfriend (now wife :hee: ) were at Uni when I was playing it, and she wrote a University essay once (a rushed one, but still)... While I was watching a cutscene! Over an hour :umm2:

I've just looked it up actually - apparently it's a sequence of cutscenes in close succession and the total length is 71 minutes :joker:

Ramsay 08-11-2019 09:04 PM

That the very last one is it? Madness to think of that now haha almost a movie with the length of a cutscene at the end!

To be fair though, the last 1/3 of MGS4 despite not being much... Game... Is still one of my finest few hours of gaming. The 20 minute long fist fight with Ocelot [emoji23] :flutter:

I watched it on YouTube last night, at the start they're doing full CQC moves on each other and by the end they're slugging it out like they're outside the pub on a Saturday night :joker:

Toy Soldier 13-11-2019 10:36 AM

Against Deadman's advice I have bonded with Norman Fetus and am really worried that something awful is going to happen to the li'l guy by the end of the game :(
