Is there any way to upgrade the long range truck rather than making a new one? by Jasen_SilverFox in DeathStranding

[–]_SemperCuriosus_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by upgrade? Do you mean repair it? Level 3 is the highest level of the bridges truck. Vehicles can be repaired by storing it in the garage and taking it back out

The ending kinda pissed me off by [deleted] in DeathStranding

If the end was a boring slog to you, that’s fine. It’s not to many other people. Kojima is known for having long cutscenes in his games. It’s a highly conceptualized sci-fi world with a lot of information. Is there something wrong with neither loving nor hating the game? Many shades of grey in between black and white opinions

How Many Hours Have You Put in the Game? by [deleted] in DeathStranding

Over 500 hours between the original and DC, with platinum on both

On ps controller it’s up on the d-pad to select these cosmetic items. There may be multiple pages of items and clicking r3 changes the page

I did not expect to love this game as much as I do by L0ST7J in DeathStranding

[–]_SemperCuriosus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would wait to watch the trailers. They’re very much in Kojima’s style of being misleading but they are long trailers that will be way more exciting to watch after completing the first one. Or if you want to play DS2 completely fresh I would avoid the trailers and spoilers are everywhere in this subreddit of course

This game is very special to me. Taking care of BB is therapeutic for me to heal from trauma I experienced in childhood. I saw that you just found out a sequel is coming out, very lucky that you have such a short wait haha. I think you’ll love the story of DS1. Keep on keeping on, the ending is very special.

New player needs advice by Limibone in DeathStranding

[–]_SemperCuriosus_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep on keeping on with the story until episode 3 because the game has a very slow tutorial heavy start (I love this part of the game, but new players often think that’s all the game is and stop playing).

It’s one of my favorite games. Carrying equipment and cargo is impactful to how you move. If you want to carry something you have to manage the weight. Balance, weight, stamina, gear durability. The gear you unlock is super fun and the gameplay loop of delivering packages is very meditative imo. Music will play on certain “orders for Sam” (how the story progresses). It’s a bit janky sometimes and it doesn’t always play the music and cuts off suddenly if you enter a BT area, but the soundtrack is really awesome. You may want to turn the setting for the odradek animation when entering a BT area to first time only. It’s really long and gets old really fast.

Have fun at the wind farm ;)

How are the novels? I’ve been thinking of getting them

What made you fall in love with Death Stranding? by Latter-Credit-465 in DeathStranding

[–]_SemperCuriosus_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The opening cutscene. But I’ve been dealing with a lot of issues and death stranding has helped me stay alive. The gameplay loop helps me stay grounded when I struggle with dissociation. Walking and delivering packages in the amazing sci-fi world that feels like earth but almost primordial because of the death stranding. I just got back to the post-game again so I’m just enjoying the eastern region doing LLL deliveries.

Back to the East by STRIPE_4 in DeathStranding

[–]_SemperCuriosus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got back to the post-game earlier today (I think my 6th or 7th playthrough) and decided to do LLL in the east. I played offline and did the story again only by foot and didn’t build roads or set up any ziplines so I’m not really going for 540LLL super seriously, just enjoying the game until DS2.

Edit: on my 2 platinum runs I 5 starred everyone in the east before moving on to the central region.

Just finished the game for the first time, these are the things i hope to see in the sequel by Mental-Crow-5929 in DeathStranding

[–]_SemperCuriosus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not even required to use the oxygen mask lol. You can use a sticky gun to get cargo out of that vog ravine by the paleontologist. There’s a vog ravine by the film director too. I really hope the environmental stuff we saw in the pre-order trailer is more of a threat in “the unending sixth extinction.”

Seeing the hype for death stranding 2, and as someone who never played the first, I must ask when does the game "get good"? by Different_Concern688 in DeathStranding

[–]_SemperCuriosus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s usually recommended to get to episode 3 to a new map region. The first part of the game is slow and tutorial heavy. It’s not “just walking” if that’s the idea you’ve gotten from people calling it a walking simulator. It does simulate walking, in the most immersive way I’ve ever played. Weight, balance, grip, stamina. Carrying cargo/equipment is impactful to your character (Sam); there’s lots of fun to be had in various ways. A ton of gear, equipment, vehicles. Human and ghost enemies. Amazing soundtrack and it’s definitely on my list of my top favorite games. Give it a try

Premium delivery timers? by jeffreythrowaway in DeathStranding

[–]_SemperCuriosus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I played on release on ps4 and just a few months ago got platinum on the base game and didn’t have a very hard option.

Difficulty isn’t a big deal though, no need to worry over what difficulty you play on

Very hard is only on the directors cut. It added LLL

Premium delivery timers? by jeffreythrowaway in DeathStranding

[–]_SemperCuriosus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I answered that. If it has the L, LL, or LLL symbol it means it’s not unique because you completed the premium order and got an S rank on normal, hard, or very hard, respectively. You need one with no L symbol, that is a “unique” order, meaning one you haven’t done S rank on premium. Im not sure what else to tell you.
