death stranding get outta here

the game is way easier cause it’s mostly empty flats, i felt less attached to the characters, and the main story draw gets undercut in the last part of the story

most deliveries are just getting in your car and driving 1500 km. and hoping you don’t hit a twig.

this is a story about grieving the loss of your dead daughter, to the point you actively and constantly see visions of her travelling with you as she did in ds1. and then she’s just alive!! what the heck!! i get sam missed like 16 years with her (for her not for sam she was sent to… another world where time flows faster so she missed her formulating years with sam) but that undercuts the narrative significance of grief and letting go if you’re just gonna get it back!

the best parts of the story are usually just because of the foundation death stranding original built. like heartman, deadman, and fragile, which are kinda worse in ds2 too. dollman is just a kinda alright companion that gets a bit annoying sometimes. you never see rainy. tarman only is there to talk to you about how you can’t fast travel cause of the tar currents. tomorrow is ~okay. still mad they killed deadman then fuctionally brought him back. neil is awesome though.

i did totally see what was gonna happen coming so i didn’t get too attached to lou dying so i dunno how i’d feel if i didn’t expect it. i was around 85% sure, then deadman came back and i was certain.

…graphics are better though?

that being said final fantasy 6 is when FF stories started getting good

I’d avoid spoilers if you can

The first three fights were all skin-of-my-teeth, so that probably threw off my difficulty estimate.

okay i will admit FF6 is a bit difficult early

once you start opening up the game’s systems you’ll probably realize why it isn’t that hard :wowee:
