i got to like episode 11 last year and just picked it back up and ambiguously finished it yesterday. All i wanted was to reach a point where i could just hang out and do deliveries and i think iām there? definitely an all-time chill evening game, the level of challenge is very elastic

Oh no, Iām in episode 13 and Sam is monochrome sitting on a beach while Amelie slowly walks around him in circles reading me the gameās design document and world bible in excruciating detail, peppered with lame cod philosophy. I didnāt think this game was capable of being this boring!
Otherwise Iāve been really loving this game though. Itās going to be hard to resist going straight into the sequel after Iām doneā¦ But if the ending continues to be this dull then maybe Iāll be able to summon the strength to take a break.
episode 14 is good i believe in you
also the needle drop in 13 is good when it happens
Ok yeah episode 14 was pretty good. I finally finished Death Stranding! As others have said, I felt that the extended open world playtime sections were the real highlight; the plot stuff was pretty neat when it was sprinkled around, but once it starts taking up hours at a time then it wears out its welcome fast. Great game on the whole though.
I just went and picked up a physical copy of Death Stranding 2. The cashier at Best Buy was fucking jazzed to see me buying it. He just kept saying āSolid game, man. Solid game.ā I finished paying and started walking away but even though there was a big long line of customers behind me, the guy called out to me plaintively, āHave you played Silent Hill???ā Like he was desperate to keep the good vibes going. I gave him a thumbs up and kept moving. Should We Have Connected?
Everyone has wisely warned me that going straight into the sequel is going to be Too Much Cake, but itās very hard to resistā¦ I want to know what new ingredients and flavors are in the new cake!
I only have so much time with the PS5 so Iāll be going back to the original to do a replay with my skills after like 200 hours between both games. I have never played the Directorās Cut, outside of seeing how it ran on my PC. Man, I still remember the beginningā¦
Contrary to most, revisiting the story is what Im most excited for. I actually really like the stories in these games. The prolific codec type calls in the first one are underwhelming, I remember that much. But I think the emotional core and the mythology are very strong and I miss the soundtrack, although itāll be hard to go back to before having a music player. I play with the ambiance for the most part anyway!
I am going to read everything this time and possibly play thru the story mode without doing any standard orders, sticking strictly to the main path for the duration of the storyline.
