I just want to see and do everything Iām impatient because every game takes a thousand hours. I like this one a lot and Iām not worried about missing anything Iām just thinking about how to get on with things quicker.
I think this evening Iām going to steal a truck.

The orange mule trucks are kinda disappointing they canāt really carry any more than you can with an exoskeleton (although theyāre still handy for pillaging mule camps), so a trike will serve you better. The grey ones you can find down south in chapter 3 are a bit better but I couldnāt get them all the way to the north, the area around the weather station was too tricky to navigate. Plus of course you canāt repair stolen vehicles. The on-foot delivery upgrade you get around there, the floating carriages, can manage greater loads and in trickier spots although of course your speed will suffer.

I can fabricate carriages and trikes, maybe I can use both at the same time somehow.
Got caught in a snowstorm. Better chug some Monster EnergyĀ®!

I reunited the junk peddler and his artist girlfriend but now my shoes are ruined and I donāt have a replacement pair. So thereās an interesting journey ahead of me.

Howād you get caught without shoes? You can keep two spare pairs on your boot hook, and you can also use sandalwood if youāve collected it which takes no weight or inventory space.

Protip: If you want to pick up a lot of cargo off the ground, hold triangle and walk through it.

I had an extra pair hanging off my boot hook but I canāt remember if I used them or if I lost them during an encounter with some mules and just didnāt notice they werenāt there when I got out of it. I do have sandalweed though.
edit-I forgot you can fabricate stuff at just about any location youāve already delivered to so I just made some new boots before setting off again.
I love how on the map you can see every path youāve taken between locations and it makes me appreciate how much of the game I still havenāt seen yet. At some point Iām going to take a break from doing deliveries and just stock up on ladders and ropes and try to scale one of these mountains.

The mountains are my favorite! There are a fair number of missions around them but I also couldnāt wait and scaled one before I was supposed to too.

I should mention they are a huge pain in the ass the traverse.

this game has really clicked for me around 15 hours into it. itās fantastic.
it dawned on me that it is just my old job (pizza delivery) transposed into a post apocalypse open world videogame. suddenly I knew What To Do, planning my routes, consolidating cargo. build a postbox to store my cargo while i sneak into a MULE camp (since they have cargo tracking alarm systems). definitely funny to me then, that just now after I finished a particularly grueling loop (the Engineer to Elder to Craftsman trek), I got an email from some honestly pretty presumptuous dude given the circumstances toā¦ deliver a pizza. Oh Iām on it buddy.

I like the running joke of Lea Seydoux offering Norman Reedus a larva to eat, Reedus refusing, disgusted, then Seydoux nonchalantly eating the larva

Yes, looks like nothing is missable. You go into free roam/do whatever mode after the story is done

this game probably has the most bloated, overloaded kojima-style UI/control scheme of his entire career and I love it for that

I was listening to the Giant Bomb Cast talk about the game and was very pleased when one of those middle-brow fucks said something like āItās not the worst game of all time but Iāve never had less fun playing a video game in my lifeā

honestly it sounds like all these journos played breath of the wild not death stranding

The part that is even more pleasing is when they compare it to, roughly paraphrasing, āthat real fuckinā stupid movie called Mulholland Driveā.

hahah that happens? Iāve only listened to the first little bit but thatās amazing. One of them also made some stupid pun about Mario Van Peebles cringe
