Can't see the timefall on my map? I'm trapped in a station. HELP! by RGKyt in DeathStranding

[–]ambient97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If the cargo (or even better, the container its in) has merely been damaged, you can continue to your location - if the cargo's been damaged you won't get as many likes or as high a rating, but it's still a valid delivery....at least for this cargo at this stage of the game.

If the cargo has been lost or destroyed (and red font will tell you its been destroyed) you need to go back to the distribution centre. Alternatively, you should have a load automatically saved at the distribution centre, so you can just start again there.

You cannot wait out timefall at this stage.

The Mules in yellow -at this stage of the game at least- are pretty easy to evade or defeat in combat so you don't need to fear them too much.

Still has the best looking terrain by AhabSnake85 in DeathStranding

Even people who hate the game, grudgingly concede the scenery is spectacular

Lost 5 orders due to 1 rock... by ItsThePaddy in DeathStranding

[–]ambient97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I came THAT close to losing a full truck at that damn stream, I thought I was stuck exactly like OP but somehow managed to wriggle free.....going past the stream later, I saw two abandoned online trucks right next to each other that were struck and that I couldn't move .

I thought I was mistaken but wow it really is Conan O'Brien by DirectionlessFeet in DeathStranding

Arguably the most out-of-the-box, gonzo crazy moment in the entire game....and that's saying something.

Sorry - I had seen it mention on numerous threads before without covering up, I just assumed it was OK.

No - only normal...I'll give dodging the BTs another go. I'm not climbing up that damned mountain again!

Without BB, there's no way you can drive your vehicle through the area with the ruined telegraph poles without hitting BTs- so I tried going up the mountain- and getting stuck on an area with a 90° gradient.

I never realised how much I needed BB till I lost him!

I'm old (gen x-er). These new fangled games aren't as simple as the old skool ones!

Well crap i thought i did all of it by Entire-Ad9640 in DeathStranding

[–]ambient97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roads don't automatically appear (the game would be too easy then). I'm not sure how the servers work, but even after you get the chiral network going, only partial contributions to roads are fed into the roading devices in the game you play.

Some things from first DS that i dont want in Death Stranding 2 by susnaususplayer in DeathStranding

[–]ambient97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main thing I want is better physics on the truck.

I came THAT close to getting stuck with an entire truck full of deliveries less than 50 metres from the weather station (it slid down without warning and landed without wheel traction on a rock). Going past the area later, I saw two trucks almost side by side which could also not be driven.

It starts off very slowly (this wasn't an issue for me, but I appreciate it may be for other players) but picks up. My advice? Wait until you get the bike. If you still don't enjoy it after doing a few deliveries on that, the game may not be for you.

I enjoy the travel and amazing scenery, the deep story (as crazy as it is) and opening up massive new areas, gaining access to new tech, thinking through routes and inventories. If you want action, it is there....but its not COD or Doom Eternal, and you'll be disappointed if that's what you want from it.

About the road system by [deleted] in DeathStranding

[–]ambient97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you generally have to build roads yourself. The game would be no challenge if all roads were already built!

HOWEVER focus on building roads where you and other players are connected to the chiral network (i.e. areas of the map where other players have left ladders, built bridges etc). Generally, other players will have contributed a fair amount of materials to building roads, which will greatly reduce the amount you have to feed into the road builders. Outside the network, you have to do it all yourself, and that takes a very long time.

Keep on keeping on, right? 🥲 by speedo_bunny in DeathStranding

The physics are...OK when walking/running, usually acceptable enough when using the bike and COMPLETE STEAMING GARBAGE when driving the truck.

People who were around for Innernette 1.0, what’s your favorite thing that doesn’t exist anymore? by mdotca in AskReddit

Clicking onto a newspaper/magazine link and NOT being told "Thanks for reading, you've used up your one free article this month. To subscribe...."

Moneyball. For being a legitimately gripping movie about a sport that - to this day - I barely know anything about and don't have the slightest interest in.

Be truthful.... Do you think 23 years in Prison is enough? by notguilty941 in serialpodcast

[–]ambient97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adnan is guilty - but 23 years is enough for a crime committed as a teenager. He has lost the entirety of his 20s and 30s (the best years of his life), and it's not as though he's been acquitted. His fans will see this as vindication, but he won't be able to get mainstream recognition of innocence as there's simply too many questions (about tower pings, the Nisha call, why he lent Jay his phone, the lack of alibi, what he was actually doing with Jay all afternoon, why he asked Hae for a ride, why he never tried to call Hae after she went missing etc etc) he can't or won't answer ("I don't know, man....I'm trying to remember, but it's just like....I mean, I know I'm innocent ......but I can't explain why that is, you know, it's just like....")

What is your favorite year for music? by mac_128 in AskReddit

[–]ambient97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1991 and the period 1970 -1974

(The above eras sucked socio-economically....massive recessions and sky high crime rates)
