i keep on having to field questions from my friend, who exclusively relies on giant bomb coverage, about how hosed up the game is, if there’s actually good stuff in there, how long before it gets fun, etc and its really maddening. that website is loving AIDS

The amount of people who quit after 2 hours or haven't even played it and say its trash is astounding.

If you don't like something within the first two hours it's insane to keep trying to play it, in this gamer's opinion.

Yeah, it makes a lot more sense to me than the people who play it 60 hours and talk poo poo about it the whole time.

I went to get some coffee and idled in there after a long delivery and when I came back Normal Reedus smelled his armpits, pointed at the camera and then pointed emphatically at the shower and grunted.

The bit at the beginning where you’re walking along with your load, and the camera pans out while you’re still in control to show the big rocky plains you’re climbing around in with no people, animals, or buildings in sight, and that melancholy song starts playing is an all-time gaming moment imo

I think it’s worth noting that Death Stranding, a game quickly cobbled together on the Decima engine by former Fox engine devs, performs significantly better across the board than Horizon Zero Dawn, the game that the Decima engine was specifically designed from the ground up for

It looks way better too, the environments are some of the best looking I've ever seen in a game. I'm just playing on a base PS4, and the performance has been pretty much rock solid

The only time I've seen the framerate drop is when getting a vehicle out of my garage. but thats basically jsut a loading screen anyway. Playing this bad boy again on PC with 60fps will be delightful

i got a car stuck sideways between two rocks, right next to a river. i opened the cargo menu and took everything i needed onto my back, and as soon as i left the menu sam fell over into the river, everything spilled everywhere, the framerate tanked for a split second, and i laughed my rear end off

Do the big BTs that show up when you get grabbed look like squids for everyone? I heard someone else say it was a scorpion for them and based on the birthdate entry at the start I'm wondering if it's based on your zodiac sign

I smacked a MULE head on on a vehicle and felt really bad about it and got out to check that I didn't kill him.
