This Is What 1000 Hours of Death Stranding Looks Like

DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT (PS5)
Game Difficulty: Very Hard
HUD Settings: All Off
Order Number: Standard Order No. 153
Order Title: Retrieval: Precious Artworks Lost During Delivery

[@RaLLyX352]

As someone that has never played this game, I have no idea what he just pulled off.

[@ExTess]

In a game where 9/10ths of the lore is not fully explained and the central mechanic is literally all about walking and keeping balance with a bunch of stuff on your body to make deliveries, and where a single delivery can range anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour (or longer, depending), this guy basically Evel Knieveled his way through a delivery in six minutes with gadgets most people didn't realize you could unlock. Also that dropkick was insane.

[@RamHornBeast]

As someone who's finished the game, I still have no idea what's going on.

@@_dark168yeah and that’s stupid asf. This game sucked

[@InitialFailure]

He was delivering a parcel from one place to another. Play it for about an hour and you know what the game is all about.

[@hua..]

@@blaken2651 Not according to over 90% of the people who played it, the game is certainly not for everyone but almost everyone who did play it, enjoyed it. You can spend the whole game just driving trucks and doing deliveries like it's fucking american truck simulator, or you can expand your options and make the whole experience way more dynamic with the borderline overwhelming amount of options the game gives you. The only limiting factor is your own brain, and well, patience to actually unlock said options lol

How does this even work?

[@nethalar]

@ Theres remote detonate blood grenades that you can stick anywhere and then activate whenever. So here, whenever they get close to the BT, they just activate the nade attached to the bike and it either kills or stuns the BT as you go by.

What I remember of my time in DS was mostly very quietly walking through empty wilderness (bored). With this, it's constant beeping, weapons, fighting, acrobatics.

@@Clippers0507 Yeah it was never a walking simulator to begin with, But you kinda have to play with the tools they give you in the sandbox a good deal before getting to things like fabs and ziplines and droids or bloodbombs and other weapons. It fools you into thinking it's a walking simulator in the beginning before of the first missions, where you are traversing terrain for the most part. It was always a bit of a Kojima action game mixed with a survival horror game.

I've played through this game twice, and didn't know most of what I'm seeing here existed, let alone was possible. The game's greatest strength is also its weakness, in that there's so much stuff to learn if you just keep scratching, but none of it is given away unless you make the effort. There's also the hours you have to play, just learning the mechanics before the layers start peeling back and the wonderous absurdity of the story starts seeping out. The complainers that this was nothing more than a walking simulator were right... if you bowed out after 2 or 3 hours gameplay, because that is exactly what the first 2 or 3 hours are, but you have to do the groundwork before the game opens up, or it's just a mad assault on the senses that would be overwhelming if you didn't have the basics locked down. I for one love it, and the sequel looks even more absurd and I can't wait.
