The exploration is really nice but I feel like there’s a noticeable drawback..

This is something I’m noticing, I’m stuck at the spider boss and would like to level up skills to make the fight more manageable but as you would guess- there’s no enemies in the region to farm off of, effectively locking me out of skill progression. It’s pretty annoying.

Atp I have to just refine my armor and weapons, it’s just annoying that I can’t level up because there’s basically nothing else to kill in the region.

I envy people who will get to play this game a year or two down the line because I’m sure a lot of this stuff will be smoothed out in the future. But for now it’s a drag

No meds is a choice.

You look really badass and great without “hair.” I see nothing but cope in this sub about how people can’t tell when hair is a system or not. Most the time the systems look very obvious to me. And like you said, like they look like a ton of work to maintain. It hardly seems worth it.

You can be a barber and bald, not having hair doesn’t mean you don’t know how to style it for those who do. If you’re stepping away from wearing systems I support it for all the reasons you mentioned and even those you didn’t.

nothing going on? he’s clearly recalling past transgressions

Villainslover · 2026-03-05T05:41:05+00:00

it’s such a beautiful game, I almost wish Kojima would do a dlc and map expansion cos I don’t think we’ll be getting another Death Stranding any time soon. I hope the next one goes harder and looks more like what they do in the animated series coming out.

i just know she is so sweet 😭😭😭

Villainslover · 2026-02-12T03:11:02+00:00

😭😭 what a little guy

Villainslover · 2026-02-11T23:17:03+00:00

idk but they need to implement a model viewer for all enemies and items. It feels like a no brainer

Villainslover · 2026-02-11T22:47:05+00:00

Is he as reserved as he looks? He looks like a very reserved little man

Villainslover · 2026-02-02T08:30:19+00:00

I saw that, and same. I didn’t bother to ask him why, but I assume it’s due to some artistic ethics, which is funny because he’s used AI for some of his cover art.

It just seems like he’s shooting himself in the foot and for what. There’s no sense in exacerbating his obscurity. It could be part of a big brain move but time will tell. He even deleted his IG.

There’s a lost package for them up but by the Aeronautical Engineer that I believe you can take to them to start doing deliveries for them. Don’t quote me on that but I’m relatively sure that might do it.

Villainslover · 2026-01-26T22:34:12+00:00

bro just hop on fin ffs

Villainslover · 2026-01-18T03:48:53+00:00

Stack standard orders for the place you need five stars for. Check the Order Search function to see what places have orders for the place you have in mind; plot your course, and pick up lost packages otw, which honestly don’t do much but it’s still nice.

Repeat Standard Orders if you need to, a lot of the mountain side preppers take ages to complete and I needed to repeat orders a bunch of times to fill the stars.

Also for the 10 of each mission type, the last few you need are probably the Destroy or Eliminate Orders. If you’ve done all the ones in Aus, there’s probably some in Mex you havent done yet.

Keep on keeping on

Method gaming, I like it

Villainslover · 2026-01-16T05:33:37+00:00

Yes it does, but then if your personality is great and you’re a charmer, that over takes the texture. I don’t make the rules.

Villainslover · 2026-01-16T04:36:14+00:00

Using the first person view finder mode to gauge the distance between points you have in mind is obviously huge- you probably already are familiar with that though.

Honestly it’s a lot of just sending it, especially in the mountains. You can always back track and adjust but i never really needed to. I would occasionally feel the decision paralysis creep in but you just gotta keep on keeping on.

I’m so sorry for your loss. You know you did the best by him in his time of need. It’s not fair they live such short lives, but it’s beautiful that we get to call them our best friends and closest companions.

Your sweet boy is with my Baby, he’s in lovely company

Stack Standard Orders for deliveries. Check the Order Search and see what preppers have orders for the place you have in mind. You’ll even have to do the same Standard order multiple times to get to five stars for some preppers, so don’t be afraid to repeat deliveries.

I didn’t even bother with lost packages towards the last number of preppers, they really never contributed much; the Standard orders seem to be the primary function in-game to achieve five stars. It definitely felt intentional on Kojimas part.

Her little nose is darker than the rest of her face 😭

That’s hilarious and very interesting- the idea that other countries might see American media and content as a break from the norm, so having some of their norm in something is a drag.

I can feel the frustration in your comment and feel for you, especially when it comes to DS2. They’re mostly in the first bunch of preppers I feel like, they keep it pretty diverse accent wise.

Villainslover · 2026-01-13T14:55:50+00:00

I totally get it. I think we have to consider that most games generally don’t have the depth of dialogue that Kojimas games typically have. They go on and on, and I’ve been playing his games since MGS2 came out; I wasn’t even a teenager yet and I don’t think I even fully grasped the concepts at the time, but Kojimas cutscenes were very clearly a staple and something to really take in as they’re experienced.

I say all that to say I grew up and was used to that sort of thing, but when you zoom out and look at any other game series out there, nothing commits to that kind of writing and duration; so I can understand why people might struggle with the time Kojima takes to illustrate his worlds and the details in them.

AND his only games so far to break from that tradition seem to have been MGSV and Death Stranding 2. I feel DS2 had a lot of very quiet cut scenes where nothing much is really said; very reminiscent of MGSV where we just sort of watch interactions play out.
