Death Stranding Director's Cut - Kojima's post-apocalyptic deliveryman simulator

[Jenkem]

Just pre-ordered this on Steam. Comes out soon! Apparently there will be new quests where you deliver companion cubes, probably how you unlock the Valve stuff...

I can't wait to deliver packages as Bigg Boss.

Anyone with comfortable access to evidence about this game underperforming? I need it for scientific purposes.

 

[Bigg Boss]

It is getting a sequel according to latest news so it at least broke even.

OOPS WRONG THREAD PLEASE CARRY ON SORRY

 

[AwesomeButton]

I'm not butthurt about anything, Jenkem , I'm genuinely curious.

The only source is Kojima saying it sold enough to fund his next project, so take it as you will

I'm playing this right now, just burned mom. Anything I should know before going in? Do I have to do all the inevitable side quests for some true ending or anything like that?

Anything you wish you had known before you started?

The most important thing is to go in options and turn off Ordarek locator animations and other misc animations that play out during your visits to destribution centers. They become very annoying in the long run.

Another thing, a lot of people have problems with the first two chapters saying its very boring etc(although i thought it was a good tutorial), so you need to play at least till chapter 3 where the game truly opens up to know whether you like it or not.

You dont need to do side quest in order to progress afaik.

Not really. I just recommend using the auto arrange option in the inventory as it will optimally arrange your cargo so you'll have better balance and stumble less.

I don't know what counts as underperforming for you, but:
Hideo Kojima: Death Stranding was profitable and recouped costs; profit secured for next title

 

[Machocruz]

Yeah, next project. Death Stranding Go, coming to mobile devices near you.

 

[DalekFlay]

With the PC version imminent I finally watched 30 minutes or so of unedited game footage... wow, doesn't look like it's for me at all. Great looking world though, in that haunting and desolate way.

Will save my jew dollars for Horizon.

Death Stranding is a game for refined individuals that understand the basics of ludokino.

Seems like a really interesting game to me. It's clearly not just a walking simulator, like it was labelled as and lambasted for on its initial release. Just like any other good game, there are mechanics that need to be understood and mastered in order to play well/finish the game.

Wacky Kojimbo storyline and Yoji Shinkawa art direction seem to be just the icing on the cake of what appears to be an interesting new form of gameplay.

Kojima has always been a hack writer and first and foremost a plagiarist of others' ideas.

Eh, i'll take his stories and writing over pretty much anything else in the AAA segment

It looks similar to Metal Gear Survive in a lot of ways. I think both games were based on the same Kojima's blueprint when he still was working at Konami.

Spoiler: You were the zombies all along

And you don't have access to google?

I do.

 

[Machocruz]

I think the game would have been better without all the baby in jar, ghosts and other fantasy garbage. Focus on the wasteland delivery clerk theme and have the dangers be bandits and other sorts of ne'er-do-wells, wildlife, environment, weather, rival carriers.

Apparently PC version is getting a Very Hard mode. I wonder what exactly it changes, and hope it comes to PS4.
