Death Stranding šŸ‹

i’m trying to avoid reading too many reviews, and it’s probably been a decade since i read gravity’s rainbow, but i cannot work out why people are making that connection from the stuff i have seen

I skimmed very lightly a couple of reviews and one of D Souls best ideas was borrowed and that’s great.

which one

Messages from other players and some other indirect interaction which I won’t outright spoil unless you want

oh yeah that

I wonder what the inworld explanation for that will be, if there even is one

ā€œeating 60 pounds of vegetables at gunpointā€

so-good

been watching some of the 20-minute gameplay reels that’ve come out. i’m so widly excited for this, to the point of having an (minor) itch to straight up ditch the ps5 next year and just get a ps4 in the following weeks so i can witness the multiplayer stuff growing at first

i don’t get like actively excited about ā€œslow-burnā€ games – even the ones i love playing / watching / thinking about – but this one is such an impossible costellation of things i’m into (fetishization of logistics, obssession towards bodily / spatial awareness, noby-noby-boy style multiplayer mechanics) and also, apparently, kojima’s most unhinged attempt at embarrasing social commentary . . . it definitely feels eventful

A high school friend of mine who I don’t talk to very often and who isn’t really into videogames but plays them casually occasionally sent me a text that said ā€œI think you’d like this, I thought it was hilariousā€ with a link to Tim’s Death Stranding review for Kotaku

I felt like my soul was leaving my body

I hope you just said ā€œI love it, thanks.ā€

Between this and IC getting explicitly mentioned on How Did This Get Played, 2008 is having a good week!

how does this game look and run as well as it does on the reg. ps4?

Glad to hear that it does! I have a regular PS4 and I was a little worried this game would run like shit on it.

I mean, MGS V ran at 60 frames and didn’t look any worse for it on ps4. That engine belongs to Konami but I’m certain the people who built it are now at Kojima Pro.
