I got drawn into a scripted encounter with another miniboss but this time I was able to kill it, probably because there was more high ground for me to run around on. Also after I scanned to see what I could climb a ghost started tossing grenades and blood bags to me so I guess they're not all bad!

You only need to hold them when running on foot with a mountain of cargo on your back, though Definetly not "most of the game", in my experience edit: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv also use vehicles. Everywhere you can get on foot you can get on the bike Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Feb 8, 2024 |

Triggers give you extra stability but its only meant to be used in particularly rough terrain like steep inclines. It also slows you down so its not "optimal". Once you get familiar with the ingame physics and how Sam reacts to terrain you can mostly casually jog from A to B. WaltherFeng fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Feb 8, 2024 |

If you are only interested on casually exploring and watching the plot, playing on the easiest difficulty should be enough for that. The harder part still going to be dealing with BTs And if you dont pile too much cargo on your back, or use vehicles, you hardly need to hold those buttons

But the other thing is you unlock vehicles pretty early and I spent most of the game (aside from like the mountains) on a bike or in a truck. Christ, I think most of my early-mid game time was trying to steal trucks from MULEs so I could ferry stuff around more easily. Then I drove them into the fuckin ground since you can't repair them.

ScootsMcSkirt posted:theres also an extra layer of weirdness cause the actress cant speak english but they give her several monologs that she barrels through regardless, giving everything involved a very surreal quality. that was so weird to me, picking a woman who clearly doesn’t speak english for a part involving lots and lots of dialogue in english. made me wonder if she’s particularly famous in japan or something, someone kojima wanted to add to his starfucking stable. google suggests she goes by mala morgan and she’s been in a few japanese movies since 2016. but the one most talked about - called red post on escher street, praised by film festival nerds, seems like something he’d like - came out after death stranding. I doubt he literally wanted to sleep with her, because that would make mads mikkelsen jealous. I feel like there must be more real-world context I’m missing, but maybe it’s simply that kojima wanted to have one of his famous friends know him from early in their career rather than later anyway, eagerly awaiting more news about the sequel after that blast of a trailer. hopefully a pc port comes relatively soon after release because this game might be enough to make me spend money I shouldn’t on a ps5

I never noticed that, probably because english is not my native language either edit: also when you speak spanish or japanese or any other language than english, you are used to see people on american movies and TV pretending to speak that language when they clearly dont. Maybe Kojima was trying to bring you guys that experience Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Feb 8, 2024 |

i find that not holding the triggers is kinda beneficial?? it's a free brief speed boost as Sam trips on even grade, or a much longer speed boost sliding on his rear end downhill, all with zero damage to self or cargo as long as you hold the triggers before you stumble/slide too far. sometimes doing this i get free likes from BB too for toughing it out, the little sweetie  (going uphill though, fingers glued to triggers. falling backwards is real bad news)

IIRC it's the four star unlock at Lake Knot, basically the standard trike plus an attached floating carrier. Owns if you aren't hauling a truck's worth of crap Bonus points for being the perfect pizza delivery vehicle

Is there anything special to do to get the PC directors cut version's performance to not randomly crap out? 90% of the game runs perfectly, but it randomly gets super choppy, normally running into a town but sometimes without an obvious cause. Cutscenes seem to vary between 60+ fps and 20ish without a clear reason why too. My PC isn't amazing but I feel like it should at least be a bit more consistent than it is. Playing the epic game store version on win10, r5 3600, 5700xt and 16gb of ram. Edit, solved: For once one of those dumb youtube guides actually had the answer, resizeable BAR/sam was the issue, fixed by disabling smart access memory in the radeon software. Pretend I wrote something witty here about forming strands or something. Mahatma-Squid fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Feb 9, 2024 |

I've picked up the DC upgrade on sale, figured out how to import my save, and realized I have no idea what I was doing when I stopped playing  I know I'm somewhere close to the final boss. Is there anything I should go back and do that was added in updates since PC launch, or in the DC? I know there was some Cyberpunk and Portal stuff added at some point, but other than that is there anything else?

Here's the new HideoTube where they talk about DS2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SegRMGH_K4 Some tidbits: The person in the sarcophagus in the beginning is Elle Fanning's character The ship, Magellan, is a mobile base you can summon to an area once it's connected to the chiral network There are floods, forest fires and earthquakes that can occur which will affect the terrain and structures Sam can take off his entire backpack now (presumably to be more mobile during combat) Higgs will sing "a lot" Kojima had the story for DS2 written prior to the pandemic, but rewrote the whole thing because of it Also the Kojima documentary will be out on the 23rd on Disney+. On the "next-gen" Action Espionage game, PHYSINT: It will be a game, but also a movie "at the same time" whatever that means, but Kojima said, pretty amusingly, that "if your mother walks in and sees you playing this game, she'll think you're watching a movie." He decided to make the game after years of people asking him to make another Metal Gear. Kojima also gets a lot of offers from Hollywood to make movies but he's more interested in making games and has no plans to retire

I was up in the middle of the night and got partway through a mission in a crater before I decided to call it a night and save. This morning I find that the "save" is all the way back at the last settlement, so not happy about that. I'd prefer a game disable saving if it's not going to actually save your progress.

That's actually kinda bizarre, I've found it to be very good about disabling the Save button as needed & reloading has always dropped me right back where I was

Despite my annoyance with the save thing this last stretch was pretty cool because I got jumped by a bunch of those stalker looking goons and took all of them out with my rope and suitcase bashing, and I picked up an exoskeleton so I can load up on more cargo. I also ran into other porters, which was weird. One of them gave me a gift but I couldn't figure out how to do the same for them.

Thinking about it, I never fully understood how the “asynchronous multiplayer” part of the game works I mean, we find structures and stuff built by other players, but who are they? Random players that went through the game in the past or people playing at the same time as you or what

basically: yes i don't think anyone's analyzed the server communication but you run into stuff from people who haven't played in a year or two as well as stuff from people who have been playing in the last few days.

It depends at least partly on the likes they get, the structures that get the most likes are more likely to pop in people's games.
