Death Stranding - Asylums For The Feeling

[@danilomodonesi5977]

[Verse 1] A silent, faulty feeling A silent fault A silent, faulty feeling A silent fault I sigh and fall to the ceiling I sigh and run to the kneeling Asylums for the feeling [Verse 2] Ran out of all the meaning I ran out of It's hard to fall believing It's hard to fall So many men are losing While out there doing the proving It's no surprise he's dooming [Chorus] Bring your friends, bring it all on Oh, don't suck it up, no Bring your friends, bring it all on Oh, don't suck it up, no Bring your friends, bring it all on Bring your friends, bring it all on Bring your friends, bring it all on Oh, don't suck it up, no [Chorus] Bring your friends, bring it all on Oh, don't suck it up, no Bring your friends, bring it all on Oh, don't suck it up, no Bring your friends, bring it all on Bring your friends, bring it all on Bring your friends, bring it all on Oh, don't suck it up, no [Verse 3] We seem to need another We need you all While finding our own cover We cover it all I find my own completeness The darkness and the weakness The light, the fight, the quietness [Interlude] We are here for you We are here for you Don't suffer alone Tell us We are here for you We are here for you Don't suffer alone Tell us (Thank you for this clip, my friend)

This is one of the best moments in the game for me, just when you get out of the BT territory between the areas with all your cargo

I totally agree, it was such a wow moment looking down over port knot after the longest journey you’ve made so far, listening to such a beautiful song 😄

[@toxa454]

the best moment in the game is when after passing it at the very end, getting platinum, you climb a huge mountain for the very last memory card before the grand finale, and the same song starts playing ...

I dont think we can top that one damn.. platinum trophy too thats just too perfect 👌 Keep on keeping on brother!

[@toxa454]

​@@-pressxtostart- the platinum in this game is one of the easiest I can remember) no need to kill 10 enemies in a shotgun in jump or something, you just need to play the game measuredly and do things) which fits with its philosophy. (sry for english, not a native speaker)

[@-pressxtostart-]

No need to worry i understand you perfectly! I agree platinum was fairly easy, just takes some time, i think it took me around 150 hours but i loved every second of it, even 5 star all preppers. Im actually a huge trophy hunter 😊 my next platinum will be my 200th so im waiting for elden ring dlc to get it on that game.

I am 35 yrs old and the first time I got a playstation is when I bought my son a PS5 as his birthday gift 2 weeks ago. First time I got to play on a playstation and this is the game I tried because I am a fan of Norman Reedus in The Walking Dead 😅. I didn't like it at first and was laughing at the game play, like how delivering cargos can be fun? And then I got past the BT area and saw a glimpse of Port Knot City, and then this song suddenly plays in the background. Now I am almost finished as I go to Edge Knot City. This exact moment in the game is one of the best game experience I've ever had. Can't wait to play Death Stranding 2. I also wish they make a movie or series of this game like The Last ot Us. ❤

[@-pressxtostart-]

Thats so cool to read! I think thats what happens for alot of people too, it seems to be the moment that shows there is more to it than just delivering packages, the themes of this story are quite powerful, also slightly frightening, and the soundtrack truly tops the whole experience off. Great works of art have a tendency to be divisive, but i think its great, as it keeps discussion going for many years after the experience. Thank you for your comment it was great to read, glad you ended up loving it 😊

[@erdvilla]

If you have the patience to slow down and appreciate the game mechanics you will love this masterpiece. If you can't allow yourself to calm and enjoy it you will forever call it a "Walking Simulator" as if it was a bad thing.

[@-pressxtostart-]

Very well said 👍 I very much agree

[@ravenger5672]

And those “walking simulators” were called that because the only gameplay mechanic was pushing the analog stick and walking. This is literally simulating walking with heavy cargo, with multiple buttons being pushed to keep your balance at times. I haven’t gotten to enjoy Death Stranding yet, but as someone with basic observation skills I know Death Stranding isn’t a walking simulator. Most modern folk are just a bit slow it seems. Which explains how battlepasses became a thing.

[@-pressxtostart-]

@ravenger5672 yeah, screw battlepasses 😅 gaming going mainstream has done some serious damage to the industry

[@ravenger5672]

@@-pressxtostart- Sure, going mainstream brought in a lot of mindless consumers. Though that market of drooling folks has always been there, look at CoD. I’m shocked people still play those games. Last one I played was the original Black Ops. Plops2 is when they started selling the red dot sight dots for 4.99 a pop. All it takes is the brain power to say, “Hey! Those are literally the same textures I unlocked for free last year”. Clearly the majority didn’t have that brain power, and CoD is still one of the most popular series out there... despite the studio practically calling their audience dim. Clearly they weren’t wrong. They did buy the textures they designed years ago, and they did keep eating up CoD. Now it’s gotten so bad that making and selling video games is the LEAST PROFITABLE part of a VIDEO GAME studio. Exactly why many games are completely free nowadays, they’re hoping to catch some whales. Selling video games will never make as much money as exploiting rubes. Perfect example of this is Rockstar. They went from putting out more than one game a year, to putting out TWO in the last DECADE. Why make games when milking GTA5 makes far more money? Edit: sorry about the wall of a comment, this stuff grinds my gears

[@-pressxtostart-]

@ravenger5672 hey no need to apologise my friend, i love the passion i see you have for gaming! You touched on so many point that i also think about. Glad to see real gamers do really still exist! 😅 CoD4 was legendary back when i was in school and came out right next to halo 3...my god we had it so good back then didnt we? Now its just a digital storefront for disposable avatars, makes me cringe. All i seem to play now is remasters and old games 🤣

[@Cextra_the_artist]

This bit was probably one of my favorite parts of the game, the previous section was terrifying to pass through

[@-pressxtostart-]

It really was, and it was also the longest journey we go on up to that point making even more intense !

[@knox247]

I remember dying to that BT section, waking up with a massive crater in the ground, and thinking I've fucked everything up. But seeing port knot city and realizing that despite everything, it's all going to be okay was a feeling that games had never given me before.

[@johnkyl123]

I’ve found myself watching/listening to these for the ambience. And I’ve realized. Death stranding captures exactly what life is. That’s why it’s such a unique everything. Life is a journey. All you can do is keep on, keeping on. You can stop if you want, but those “deliveries” that require your hand will never cease. We’re all Sam from the start and end. We just kinda troll over what’s been layed before us. Only those who’ve endured would ever find an understanding in it’s working.

[@-pressxtostart-]

🥺 what a wonderful way to put it

[@nic-zs2ri]

What a philosophical but simple word. MGS, which is active as a spy in a complex mechanics, was one of the gears of the nation, I felt that this game was a personal life because the government was broken.

[@rennywc2884]

I remember playing for the first time this part of the game. I didn’t like the game at first and was about to give up, but then, after all that extremely painful BT part, going out of the scariest point of the game so far, just standing there, looking at Port knot with this song… I think I just stood there listening to the music and admiring the scenery. In that very precise moment I knew this would’ve become my favourite game of all time

[@-pressxtostart-]

Im glad you ended up pushing through and loving it ! 👍

[@rottensquid]

I find, like with great films or great books, it's the challenging parts that make them great. That moment when your struggle to pick up what it's laying down is rewarded, and you understand you're having a unique, unprecedented experience.

[@TrueAussie26]

I was exactly the same. Was about 8-10 hours in and wasn't super enjoying it and was at the point of..."ill give it one more session then probably stopped". Somehow something clicked and I was hooked until the end. Moments like this one in the game are some of the best I've experienced in gaming.

[@bsaintnyc]

This game was so well designed. All the systems seem overwhelming at first but then it all clicks on this delivery. This is the first time in the game where you have to make synergistic uses of the games systems to complete the delivery. When this music kicked in I knew, this was one of the best games ever and Kojima is a genius. Cant wait for DS2.

[@DelsinRaw]

Right after this part i was completely hooked, and just anxious to see what was on the other side of the sea, not the best game, but oh boy what an experience

[@withallyourlight9857]

The relief of a normal walk without BTs... The music is such a strong reassurance.

[@-pressxtostart-]

And a safe haven in the distance in constant view

[@abhishekpr2935]

I have completed the game and still shiver at the sound of my odradek triggering that BT encounter animation. every single f'ing time. What a game! Now I keep wandering places in search of lost cargo and keep doing my daily deliveries until I reach that Porter grade 500

[@joc6013]

Death Stranding really is one of its kind.. I thought it would be boring. I mean, how exciting can delivering cargoes be? Then I started the game, I fell in love with the slow walks accompanied with such beautiful music. Truly exceptional.

[@hawkofthereborn43]

It's always important to kill the childish idea of something being boring unless it's nonstop action and pewpew. THAT is boring.

[@-pressxtostart-]

There is definitely a fine balance, you dont want a game to be aimless, but you also dont need to make sure a player is constantly engaged and stimulated. I think lots of gamers are capable of being let free to enjoy a game on their own terms, aslong as theres enough tools and systems to have fun with 👍😁

[@bryanruminski8875]

Im sorry to hear that 😣 its not an overly long game so if you do give it another try, you might be close to the end already, i only really experienced a feeling of repetition during my platinum journey which ended up taking 150 hours 🙄 that required alot of back and forth that didnt really contribute to a good time, getting 5 star on each porter was a bit much

If I was really pushed, I'd say this is one of my favourite moments in 25+ years of gaming. The tension of the BT zone, the rain clearing, Port Knot coming into view... The sheer stillness, loneliness and beauty of Kojima's world... And then this song drops. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Playing during the worst of the Covid lockdowns only heightened everything further. As far as games go, art doesn't come much higher than this.

[@petrmalik1700]

It's so crazy how Kojima can make a game where in one moment you enjoy a nice hike, next you are in the scariest horror game, and then reward you with a movie-like scene where YOU are the main character. Death Stranding always was more of a movie, than a video game to me.

[@-pressxtostart-]

I can see why you think those things, kojima has always tried to blur the line between games and films. But to me it the interaction part that makes a game, and i think for all his games, even MGS4 and Death Stranding, they are very interactive experiences and for games thats so important to me. The less interactive the experience is the less immersed i become while playing. Its funny how for kojimas games i actually enjoy cutscenes, unlike most other “movie games” 👍

It took me a lot of time to finish this game , around 2 years cause at times it felt uncomfortable, uneasy, sometimes terrifying to play but at the same time it gave the most satisying , relaxing feel in a game. It is truly one of a kind and definitely requires patience to appreciate. DS2 is most probably going to be better than DS1 and definitely the most excited I have been for a game release but I dont know if it will top the experience playing DS1 just because it was so new and unique at that time. I hope more people give this game a chance and experience this work of art that Mr. Kojima has created in an age where almost every high budget game is just a rehash of existing mechanics and ideas. Keep on keeping on!

You get past the mountainous BT area, who you are still learning to deal with. You see a glimpse of Port Knot City still far away, but looks like a straight bee line from the top of the cliff, looks safe. And then the music starts. The game knows you will slow down and be relieved to have passed the danger and the goal is in sight. We, the players, understand what the game is trying to do, this is something only a video game can do as a medium. You understand you need to take a step back and let the game take back control, so you decide to slow down and enjoy the ride. It is so difficult for a game to take back control of the game and the camera out of a player's hands without entering a cinematic and making the player feel like he has to drop his controller. You are in a near cinematic sequence and yet you are still engaged as you have to keep walking towards your goal. The only other instance of such a moment I remember from a video game is the Red Dead Redemption 2 Manor scene.

Melhor jogo da história Death Stranding superou o Red Dead Redemption 2.

[@-pressxtostart-]

I love red dead , its incredible! I enjoy wandering the land with no aim, just absorbing myself into 1890s america

[@geckozoi5355]

I love that you are still liking comments on this video. Death Stranding is timeless, easily one of the best games I've played, can't believe it took me so long to actually play it 🙏

Aquí verdaderamente me sorprendió, Death Stranding 👍.

[@jackbradbury6576]

I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I’ve just spent this time reading all the comments just to see how every single person here all feel the same way, Kojima made this game to make people feel connected while playing and it has made people connect in real life as well. It’s genuinely beautiful. Also, its very admirable that you’ve replied to basically every comment here and I hope you have a great day, man

[@-pressxtostart-]

Thats part of why i uploaded these in the first place, the games story really had me thinking and these moments in the game were awe inspiring, i post a recording and immediately a ton of us started sharing our love for the game and sharing the same experiences playing. It was so cool i just decided to keep the discussion going 😊 Ive loved reading everything you have all had to say, thank you for your message too! I love to see so much love for kojima and so many of us are long time fans 👍

The game is so well designed that everything preceding this mission is training to get you used to the game's menus and systems. Slowly you start with very short missions that focus on one mechanic of the gameplay , then slightly longer ones where 2 mechanics must be combined to complete the mission , then there is this, the first mission where using everything at your disposal is essential to finishing the mission - the route must be planned, the gear you take must purposefully be chosen as well as efficiently used and not wasted , hazards in the environment must be avoided or traversed , and enemy entities in the environment must either be confronted or stealth must be used to pass them , all of this occurring while encountering and sometimes using devices and tools purposefully left by other players to make your journey easier or as motivation to tell you "you can do this" all the while having the option to drop tools that will make this journey easier for other players leaving your own mark on the world for other players to encounter. It really makes the world feel real and alive- you encounter the remnants of other players journeys . Once the end of the mission is in sight and you have passed all of the challenging parts they wind you down with this. This is the very moment that players realize what Death Stranding is about and most players become hooked. Its not just a walking or delivery simulator, it is a shared journey across a destroyed united states to put a shattered country back together again. Death Stranding is one of the best games ever made. Kojima is getting better with age.

[@-pressxtostart-]

You can really tell that this game totally connected with you. Kojimas vision is fully realised in your hands! Im glad you got to understand this and fall in love with this game 👍 its really unlike anything else

Everyone stuck in isolation because their cars broke down, so our new hero travels around replacing car batteries and changing tires in the hope of one day reconnecting the roads of america with drivers 👍

[@Spectans1]

I drove through the BT-zone on a bike and then down this wonderful hill 🥰
