Road Autism
[close]

2hours:30mins to do this mission because I was building roads from the starting area->mid-way distribution center (started here since the road I built a few days ago got here)->Mama's lab/city.

Go back and forth to get materials from the player-built shelters (sorry to anyone keeping materials there, but fuck you for not building roads earlier), build out from Mama's Lab to the Incenerator on the map and beyond that to the Distribution Center in the mountains. At that point I run out of materials and take the truck across the rivers up to the final stretch. Find a player built shelter, go "Fuck, let me see those materials."

Slight spoilers for Don
SLAM! fall over backwards onto Mama while being chased by Terrorist MULEs.

Sam: "OH MY GOD! I'm so sorry!!! Are you ok?"
16% damage.

At that point, I put the materials into the road next to the shelter (>:| not finished) and deliver the cargo to the area. Results above.

I would build the network, but testing it is a fools errand.

Also apparently you can't choose a direction for the zipline if there's multiple connected to one.

Huh? If your zipline connects to more than 1 other zipline you press the d-pad left/right to switch which one you want to go to.

Also building zipworks is a strategy of using the existing ones that are at weird places to make the mid-point sections between the ones you put down since bandwidth is limited.

You misunderstand. I've seen too many from the PC community that connect and the end point is on a mountain to where getting off has the tongs  drop over the mountain face and drop you like five stories to your death/damage cargo to where I'm leery about using them. :doge

Nah, those are great midpoints. Connect to them from max distance (using lvl.2 upgrades for the extra 50 distance to conserve bandwith) and then put another one max range away from that cliff dropper.

Reached the end of the second area. But now I need to figure out:

Actual game spoilers
How to cross the Tar Ocean
[close]

Which the game doesn't explain. At least in an e-mail I haven't gotten yet, and nothing ordered/required yet...

So I might go back and 5-star EVERYTHING connected and see if I can get a few of the dark-zone areas on the network and maybe finish building roads until/when the game tells me the information?

Edit: OH I AM A MORON. :snoop I can't believe the answer was that obvious.

I'll look forward to playing this once it's on megadiscount or PS+ and the surge of new players will make the landscape replete with bridges and stuff.

I am pretty sure there is some kind of gated limits to how much they will pull into your game. Getting a really great route set up is damn satisfying though.

fwiw the Pizza delivery missions are intentionally troll missions. The one from the farm....fffffuuuuu

You weren't kidding. Holding R2 all the while crossing the infamous water-fall area to then get on the :bow road I built :bow2 (:piss Rest of the Community not helping me :piss2 ) to get there in 30 mins or less. :doge

There's apparently two more. I got one triggered doing the PChad Hale-LifexPortalxDS cross over event so that leaves one more after that, but this one is in the mountains. :stahp

Built a zipline Network up there nearly by myself. Dude isn't on the Network yet, so I now have to do their shit before building a zipline to zipline down to Mountain KNot and go around the mountain on my :bow roads :bow2 to deliver this last one.

Yeah, for the mountain and East Coast. The flat-area of the mountains for the most part already had bridges and my road network to where it wasn't completely awful doing those. In fact, I can go from Capital Knot to Lake Knot in the East Coast with little branches for the other ones right now until they decay. :lol :doge

However, Max Payne/Sam Lake and the Fimitsu dude took FOREVER, IMO to do. The others weren't too bad.

Yeah, that's most of it.

I got really into zip network and networked every single relay station together via ziplines in the main map. Was satisfying and made it a no brainer to 5 star most of them. Definitely took time & effort though.

"One last delivery" :mjcry Mads' arc :tocry

Not explicitly spoilerly but tagged all the same
Wasn't expecting the game to tie things together in such a touching way, particularly after the long beach sequence and its 'conclusion' (read after the fact in a comment apparently the IGN reviewer who gave it a poor score only played this far :p, though I avoided all reviews). Not sure any game I've seen nail such convincing crying rendering, apart from the solid performances themselves.

I enjoyed the sprinkling of levity brought by Heartman and also various of Higgs' sequences, particularly the latter's last fight styles. Only a Japanese game would throw in that. Also nice nod to Refn's lighting style in Heartman's room. Solid game, despite some grindy stretches if one wants better items. Was impressed at the snow traversal and effects, so those sections I didn't mind as much.

While the average game director would have players simply port their saves from the PlayStation 4 to the PlayStation 5 via some unobtrusive menu, Hideo Kojima is built different. No, players who want to play Death Stranding Director’s Cut on PS5 for high framerates and fast load times will have to lace up their boots and take on one last delivery, literally carrying their old save to the PS5.

Fucked around with the director's cut. There isn't a ton of new stuff, but there are a lot of QoL improvements. You can also turn off the god forsaken cutscene that occurs everytime you enter a BT area.

 :rejoice

 The new content and missions are pretty brief but there is a lot of new music, most of it great. Especially the new music for the racetrack. I didn't play the PC version so I can't tell what is just PC adds-ons vs DC stuff, other than the obvious nods to Valve and Half-life.  I don't know if I'll start a new game or not, I liked the original plenty but it isn't really the type of thing you do multiple playthroughs of.  I might finish the road through the mountains and do a few more missions; it is a really good looking game.

Thanks for the breakdown. Yeah I picked it up because $10 is cheap.

The funniest thing is that watching the trailers I was like bad racing mini-game is the most unneeded thing ever. But if I boot this up and move over my save, since I have zero interest in redoing the main game, I'll probably just fuck around with the racing mini-game. Maybe do the 20 mins of new missions and shooting range stuff if I can jump right into them.

Sounds like about an hour of new content total. But mostly just bought it since it's a great game and having a nicer looking/running version if I ever want to boot it up 5 years from now is worth $10.

Yeah, the new missions are pretty brief. The new location looks great visually but it just isn't a ton of content. Adjust expectations accordingly.

A lot of the new stuff is nice but not necessary. The maser gun is great for short range but I still prefer the bola gun. Most of the new vehicles are good from a QoL perspective (bike with the extra storage, bike with super jump, roadster is awesome for quickly traversing roads) but if you've already beat the game, what is the point? I'm jealous of the people playing this brand new because it's a better game now with more options, just not a must replay thing for old players.

Playing the new content now. Was kinda annoying I had to install the PS4 version to update and export my save.
Game looks great on PS5 at 60fps in performance.

The firing range is kinda fun as a VR Missions expansion pack, but also kinda shows the jankiness of the stealth/combat compared to like MGS controls. It's still fun, but there's only 30? missions and they seem pretty easy so I don't see much meaty content in that.

Doing the new missions now. Then will check out building the race track. The new gun seems pointless since you already had the bola gun which was OP as is. Haven't tried the new cargo catipults.

From video clips I saw the jump legs made it look like it'd kinda break the game, in that it appeared you can jump from any height and land without damaging the deliverables, which seems super OP given it's a core mechanic of the game to manage damage which leads to alternate on-foot traversal/routing.

Is it some late-game only item or is the level upgrade pricey enough that you think it'd offset this?

I mean, yes they are awesome and pretty useful to skip portions of the environment you normally have to tread carefully through.



That being said, they don't cover a ton of distance, so if I was replaying the game I'd just use them in specific spots you traverse regularly that slow you down on foot. Also zip-lines probably make them irrelevant anyhow and they seem more like a stop-gap before you get zip-lines.

Cargo cannon seems the most broken. But again the distance isn't huge so zip-lines still beat them. I feel like pre-zip-lines you'd want to make a daisy-chain of cargo cannons to cross difficult areas.

I'm curious if the cargo cannon reach will cross the giant waterfall gap. Even then you'd still have to get over it yourself.

These are fun things to play around with, but without replaying the game not sure how useful they are.

Got all my S-ranks.

That long range Roadster is disgustingly fast on normal roads outside the race track :O
Yup. It's god-tier on the road and absolute fucking garbage anyway else.  :lol

Just another reason to build all the roads!

I'd be game for broken mechanics to replay anyway... but... They need to release this on PC because I can't find a Piss5

Does Death Stranding have an actual photo mode? I can't find it, so here are photos of a beautiful car:







And then what happens when the car goes off-road and gets stuck un-moveable between two rocks while MULEs attack you to death.
