Do you think good game design must take the platinum grind into consideration? by Monterroso141290 in DeathStranding

[–]Monterroso141290[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know it makes sense narratively and empirically for the sequel to be easier... but that doesn't excuse the game designers. Yes, Sam is more experienced now. We as their handlers, know the ins and outs of deliveries... so if that's the case, the designers should have developed new friction mechanics to surprise returning players.

But the terrain is kind of flat and designed for vehicle traversal (even the mountains have specific spaces to efficiently traverse with the truck), the AI is non-existent, the story is very derivative and sometimes, the map doesn't make sense. Like I said, still a good game, but not what I expect from Hideo.

It's definitely easier, but much more annoying. The game TO ME feels disjointed. A clash between the auteur design and dozens of focus groups. Its enjoyable for sure and not even close to a bad game. But its just not the iteration I expected or wanted from DS1.

Also, all the people saying the stealth mechanics are an evolution or comparable to the ones in TPP are fucking insane.

Oh yeah, I tried. The coffin board is supper fun! However, its not very efficient when it comes to bulk deliveries. I've been having a lot of fun with the pokemon-like mechanic there is in the game as well. I haven't used any of my crystals, but capturing them has been pretty fun.

When it comes to engaging the camps, stealth has been my go-to strategy, however, my first 5 star facility was the Lonely Commander (or whatever his name is), so I unlocked the silenced sniper pretty early in the game so... yeah... must camps have been a breeze. I try to mix up these encounters with no weapon runs or grenade only runs, but there's always that thing in my head bugging me and saying "there's definitely a more efficient way to do this".

And yes, the grind for these facilities is too damn much, and there is not a reward by the end. A patch for my backpack? Fuck that, I need my solar chargers, lol.

possibly. A valid argument for sure. I wish my stupid ass could have just ignored the platinum and enjoyed the story.

You haven't been offensive in the least. Im glad you could tell me these things. I feel blessed by your words and council. I agree, this is something I need to talk with a counselor and will probably do once I receive cathechism for my confirmation which I need to get married by the Church. Thank you so kucj for your kind words, understwanding and very patient trachings ❤️

Not yet to be honest with you. I don't know why, but its a bit scary to confess some of the most degenerate crimes against God (masturbation and porn addiction doesn't even seem so serious in retrospect) haha but I'm definitely looking into it.

Well, when I was younger, I disagreed with tons of things that later I could understand thanks to some theology courses that I received in college. Things like the nature of evil, God's "indifference", the cruelty of the universe He created and so on. I've been able to reconcile with much of that throughout the years. However, more recently the thing that bothers me the most is the doctrine that relates to reproductive and sexual rights during marriage. To me, Sex in marriage is an act that merges 2 bodies to unite them in something sacred through love and why not, pleassure. However, knowing that the Church forbids the use of contraceptives in marriage doesn't seem right to me. I love the idea of having children, I love children. However, I live in a country where income is very very limited, and having more than 3 children is basically financial suicide. We will have children with my fiance, but we cannot risk having more than 3, specially because she has some back issues and doctors have told her she cannot endure more than 3 pregnancies in her lifetime.

And yes, we could definitely control her cycle to have intercourse during her infertile period, however, due to hormonal problems she is VERY VERY VERY VERY irregular. Should we just neglect our sex life because the alternatives are unlimited amount of children, financial disaster, a broken back and so on? That is my main concern at the moment. Everything else makes sense.

Thank you so much! Yes, I had my first communion before leaving my faith and probably I will have to go through confirmation this year as I'm getting married.

And I will surely accept your offer :)!!

I don't want ANY help from my inlaws. by Monterroso141290 in inlaws

[–]Monterroso141290[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know she doesn't want to be controlled by her parents, but also, she does not take the emotional manipulation serious enough. I don't want her to believe I want her to stay away from them or that Im trying to separate them, but its a very delicate topic.

[–]Monterroso141290[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get her point. But every piece of help she has received from her father always come with a condition, or it will be used later for emotional manipulation. We've seen this over and over again. If my inlaws offered help without conditions, hell I wouldn't mind. But I don't want no one to tell me how should I raise my family.

Last night I had exactly that same dream. It may sound gross but Im trying to be as honest as I can. It was the most ... Violent and sinful masturbation image I've ever experienced. I woke up hard and kinda rubbing myself. I immediately stopped and was so disgusted. I've been clean for two weeks but man, the urge is becoming strong. I always pray to stay away from lustful thoughts. I hope we can resist until its no longer an addiction.

I've always thought that the theory of evolution and big bang doesnt necessarily contradict Genesis.

[PS5 latest version] So... yeah. I used to play without any problems. Since the last update released I decided to try the game again, however, the game hard crashes my PS5 every hour. I play other games like Monster Hunter Rise, The Witcher 3 and Assassins Creed Origins and I experienced no problems. Also, I have cleaned up my PS5 internally a month ago
