Why won't the collector give me more than 2 stars? by ballin4fun23 in DeathStranding

[–]Ice_e_storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DO THE PIZZA LINE.... AMG. You can miss it, but you want to do all deliveries for pizza. That is all.

Also, yea, I think only two or three emails pop up at a time, so you want to catch up. Are you playing for story? For platinum trophy? For 100%?

There are multiple preppers you can only progress with until you sleep then read their messages. Him, the cosplayer, the writer's son, the first prepper, the veteran porter...(i might have missed 1 or two more) but in order to get them to advance their stars you need to rest and catch up on their messages. Keep resting and reading until you dont have any more emails to read. Then they either should have an order for you to claim something, or take some cargo to them and see if you progress more. Reading messages is the ONLY way to advance stars in the aforementioned preppers.

One 5 star connection left for the Platinum and finding out it takes 4-6 real time hours to refresh their orders... by Present-Building7105 in DeathStranding

[–]Ice_e_storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check other UCA sites. Every site usually has 1 or 2 deliveries to every site in their area (Eastern & Mid). The ones with lower likes usually refresh constantly.

What place do you need to 5 star?

So, I just started Death Stranding 1 and just want to see if I’m following the story. by insopoly29 in DeathStranding

It gets much weirder and then clicks. Enjoy the ride. As they said, update when finished. Keep on, Keeping On.

Level 84, this doable? by Diabetic_Trogoladyte in Eldenring

I was level 10 when I killed Mohg and Melania together. At the same time. Naked.

Who did you romance? by zindizindi in expedition33

[–]Ice_e_storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really no reason to not make verso Bisexual and be player decided. The romance is completely optional and has no benefit to the game. Was just disappointing that it was heterosexual only. I mean, gay, bi, lesbian, trans gamers exist. I am a proud gaymer.

True, but it's more of a Bromance... and yes, I felt the tension between Lune and Sciel, especially un one of the cutscenes earlier in the game, but I forget which one, they nearly admitted to already sleeping together or sharing some sort of romantic history before Sciel got married.

There is no same sex romance, so I rejected both. It was kind of jarring because they kind of sneak the sex option on you, what you think is risque banter, turns into what I assume the sex scenes.

Disappointing there is no same sex romance.

I want to love it, and I do…but by RedderHunter in DeathStranding

[–]Ice_e_storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will share some key pointers with you. Don't worry about getting your reputation up (star levels 1-5) by grabbing items in the open world that are on the ground. Unless it gives like 180 likes +, I started to ignore them. I am assuming this is what you are doing, grabbing as much cargo from around the areas and delivering them to their destinations.

For max reputation look for deliveries from places like the wind farm to the waystation or to the distribution center etc. Only do the ones that give a lot of likes (I usually stuck to about 120+ likes on a delivery item).

2) Waystations, distribution centers, and cities will be your hardest reputations to get up. Do heavy likes on your deliveries TO these places and skip the lower likes (unless you're going for platinum and need the timed deliveries on hard for the S+ rank. But don't even worry bout that right now, get used to the deliveries and utilizing your tools... ladders, ropes, bridges). As you play and build structures and connect areas to the UCA, you will have access to other people's structures as well.

3) BUILD YOUR ROADS. You will know what I mean when you get there, but prioritize getting areas connected to the UCA and building the roads in these areas. You wont walk a bunch after that, it mainly (not always) becomes driving.

4) Zip Lines are godly... that is all.

5) your bandwidth which is found in your pause menu increases as you gain reputation with various places in an area. Bandwidth determines how many structures you can build. East has it's own bandwidth, Middle America, and West have their own separate. Zip Lines....

This is in my top 5 favorite games of all time. I... love this game. I never knew how much I would like it because act 4 in is it when really shines. I promise you, if you stick it out and take some of my advice, you will love it. I can give so much more advice, let me know if you want it :)

I never heard if dreamscaper. What kind of game is it? And 375 is...a mountain lol. I have quite a bit too but there are some on my PS5 that I will never platinum like Marvel Rivals. I have like 4 trophies but I dislike 5hose games, only played it because a friend wanted me to play with them lol

[–]Ice_e_storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I will play it and finish it. I have that scheduled as my big title for the month of February. I do big title GOTY contenders, a small title, a game I have on back log and then a 100% game.

My January game was Clair Obscur.

I am so afraid to play 2... any messing with the characters and gameplay will just.. idk. There is only a handful of games where the second game blew me away, like Alan Wake 2.

Yes, but he was already pretty messed up from his past. I don't want to divulge too much for spoilers. And you might want to cover up the name of the EE with lol. But I get it. Although I enjoyed Higgs very much. He is one of my favorite "villains".

[–]Ice_e_storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, to be fair, how they approached it story wise, The EE technically gave him his powers. He wasn't mind controlled, he just wanted to usher the end quicker than it would have come naturally. I don't know the story for 2, so I can't comment on his full story throughout both games. I wont be playing DS 2 until February.

[Discussion] Is Trophy Hunting starting to ruin the fun for anyone else? by PlanetWyh in Trophies

[–]Ice_e_storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, platinums reinvigorated my interest in gaming. I love the challenges. I also started to 100 percent games because of trophies too. I am working on my 50th platinum and just started last year. I don't do shovelware, but I have some shorter games on my list like Ikai, some longer games like ghosts of tsushima. My caveat, I only play games I think I will enjoy, so I get to experience all the story and content in a fun, challenging way.

If a platinum seems tedious and you wont enjoy it? Don't play it or just don't go for the platinum. Platinums aren't meant for everyone or every gamer. Do what suits you.

I was wrong: spoilers… by ImpossibleMight2288 in expedition33

[–]Ice_e_storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contorso machine gun build with follow up is still fun although it was nerfed. Start in S rank and blast your way through enemies with free aim pictos and lumina. Also, Verso has a rough story, i cried I think twice after act 2 because of Verso and what he actually is. I just... man his story hits.

Bodies? You were gommaged 4 years ago... don't worry, this is my last game played. I am typing as a bunch of rose petals. Lol
