My favorite thing about this game is how completely refreshing it is to have a post-apoc game where everyone (save Homo Demens and, to a lesser extent, MULEs) are just nice people working together to help each other rebuild. Even the stuck-up guys who don't want to join the UCA are still good at heart. The game seems so completely free from the craven selfishness and depressing sickening nihilism that infests basically every other post-apoc game.

It's a really cool unique vibe to have a wholesome post-apocalypse game. I love the feeling of coming across an incomplete bridge foundation and donating whatever metal I happen to have on me. Even if it's not enough to finish it you know someone else will come along and donate some too and whoever placed it there will eventually have their bridge made. Somehow it feels more collaborative and helpful than if you ever actually saw other players.

When I got hosed up by MULEs I lost a delivery I was making and then an hour later 2/3rds of it got completed by somebody else online and now it's been like 4 hours and I refuse to cancel it, I know someone someday will finish the fight

The product placement is so outright and so brazen that it loops back around and becomes sincerely funny. It’s like the product placement scene in Wayne’s World

Monster isn't doing any kind of cross promotion for Death Stranding so I'm pretty sure that was a creative decision. It rules.

I like how most of it is confined to the hellish "Private Room" which already has Norman Reedus making gestures towards the camera and all kinds of 4th wall breaking poo poo

I wonder how many of the standard orders and lost cargo are custom for each person; I like how one of the ones you can find for Conan’s spot is an XL 60kg Alcoholic Beverages, and one of the urgent timed deliveries is hangover medication

I loaded up a truck with like 200kg of poo poo and drove it through a rainstorm and drained the battery without a PCC on me to build a generator and now I'm spending like 30 minutes trudging back to base to fabricate one . My roommate was like "just reload a save" and I wanted to cuss him out for "not getting it" . Death Stranding

I love that chapter 3 is mixing up the delivery points beyond just Bridges facilities, like the weather tower and the timefall farm. They add a lot of character to the environment. I feel like I've been in this chapter forever just maxing out social links and renovating stuff
