*** Death Stranding 2 *** (Please use spoiler tags)

I've been playing way too much. Maxing out all the delivery stations and building roads as I go. Not going to bother with a Zip-line network, this time around.

Same here, new auto paver pops up, compelled to fill it with resources. Something satisfying about watching it then fabricate a new road. Loving this every bit as much as the first. As far as sequels go the story flows pretty well.

Nearly sold my PS5 after picking up a 5090, but glad I didn’t. Will probably end up playing Spiderman 2 on it too since the PC version is meant to be very unstable.

Just came across mines, a useful tool to feed into road resources.

Major bonus points for having Hania Rani providing some of the score.

Just got onto the Magellan. Story is.....weird, as expected. Loving it though.
Aye. Just Just managed this too but decided to call it after a few hours as my Pro was starting to take-off.

Maybe I missed this from DS1 but I'll stick it in a spoiler regarding Fragile.
I thought Fragile was scarred from time fall exposure instigated by Higgs. Yet, she no longer appears scarred / aged? Was this explained in DS1?

Yes I noticed that too.


I don't think it's an accident, they even highlighted that she was aged from the neck down in the recap, so I think something is up, certainly the weirdness with Lou going on, I think Sam is having some kind of episode and reality isn't all it seems.

Have to say I'm already proper confused.
If Lou died, who or what version of Lou is in the pod? Deadman throwing out the duplicate BB-28. Twins?
Why were the characters monochrome on the Mag? Or was that just an indicator when travelling through the tar?
Clearly Charlie and the "president" are nefarious.
Dollman? Pfffft.
The whole thing is already utterly bonkers. Love it.

I love the way Kojima just throws bonkers stuff like Dollman at you and everyone just acts like it's completely normal.

Tar Cat is ace.

I was wondering this, but you just have to stick with the story :)

This game is an absolute masterpiece.

Aye. I want to get back on in it but the thought of sweating myself in to the sofa while the PS burns a hole in the corner is preventing me.
 
I have just gotten to The Dowser.. God that mission was dire getting to her.

It is pretty good overall though.. Those spiders and little blob creatures are funny as are some of the wacky stuff but used to it by now.

I did find a very good weapon in a mule base that i have found helpful if i setoff alarms. The Tranq Grenade Launcher.. Particularly effective and funny if a group of them get on a vehicle and come after you. Just 1 grenade will get them all asleep.. :D

I am pretty certain i know where they are going with a specific character... I thought it would have been hilariously messed up if they went Oldboy with it! :eek: :cry:
 
Episode 5 is stunning, hard to imagine that’s without ray tracing. Can only imagine what it would look like using it and also how it would destroy most hardware.
 
Sheesh you guys have proper stomped ahead. I've only really just started chapter 3. The game is stunning but feels very closed-in when playing. Not sure if it due to camera being really close to Sam or what but I'm finding I rarely have a chance to pan the camera around without taking a tumble. Sound design is brilliant.

Please remember to use spoiler tags with apt nay vague descriptions for the spoiler title, perhaps chapter number.
 
Being able to fast travel on the ship and being able to put a vehicle (along with the private locker) in there makes transporting materials for roads and the monorail very very quick and easy. Took me too long to realise this. Have built most of the roads on my map. I usually do it as soon as an area opens up, it usually makes the next mission much easier.

Likewise, although helps to remember and drive back to the Magellan before fast travelling. Lost count of how many times I've done this lol.
 
I'm still on chapter 3 but think I must be nearing the end of it.
I took down the mech and have to say I'm grateful that Kojima simply throws you back into the fight. I only died seven times, which dealt a whopping 750% damage for that 'delivery.' Unlocked the first monorail, learned more about Tarman, and I'm hopeful there's only another mission left before chapter 4.
