What's the maximum resolution you can select in Nvidia control panel, and what resolution are you running?

It's a known game bug with a 'solution' which is hex editing: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Death_Stranding#Ultra-widescreen

I'm running 3440x1440, the game sticks to 3386x1440

What's the benefit to using a controller, chaps, and does that benefit extend to someone (me) who has an unusually high distaste for them?

If you've a high distaste for controllers, then use mouse and keyboard. This isn't a game that requires high accuracy aiming, however has a lot of button prompts so having a controller may be more comfortable. That and with the vibration feedback, it adds a bit extra.

Honestly, go with what you're comfortable with. Neither have a benefit over the other in this title.

Being somebody who is rubbish at aiming with a controller, I still used one for the most part but there were a few points where aiming did become important so I just switched to mouse and keyboard for a bit.

So, I have played for a couple of hours and the game is absolutely gorgeous, best looking game I have played I reckon? Not got a clue what is going on but I am intrigued!

You haven't played many games then! this is a direct port from the PS4 with no graphical upgrades.

Hah I have played a ton but I guess it's subjective huh? The PlayStation studios do know how to make pretty games though you have to admit.

It looks majestic in HDR/OLED. I would agree that it's one of the best looking games I've played.

Kojima Productions is an independent studio.

No, PS4 is the "default" settings in the graphical options. On PC you can turn it higher.

No one really makes games for high end PC's anymore anyway, best looking games are all console ports.

I'd never heard of Norman Reedus prior to playing the game, so I found this interview quite interesting.

There is barely any difference between default and max in the PC version. Not that I've noticed anyway.

Haven't seen any of that, I'm not big on TV or movies.

when the game launched I was very disappointed with it being "courier simulator"
I got to play the game yesterday and it has such a weird mysterious vibe i end up playing for an hour without even realizing it... :O

Yeah true it is, my bad.

Chaos666 · 25 Oct 2020 at 20:23

oh yes.. Kojima is very independent

not for everybody though

Matty8787 · 27 Oct 2020 at 23:00

I am 11 hours in, into chapter 3 and I love this game.... I dunno what it is but it's addictive.
