    It's a walky game. You walk around. Pick up some boxes, take em over there. It seems like the downtime of RDR2 as the whole game.

    Oh brilliant

    I wouldn't be shocked at all, if "Death Stranding" was born, or inspired, by the batshit last half of "MGS2, Sons of Liberty".

    It is revealed that your canteen automatically converts time-displaced rainwater into MONSTER Brand Energy Drink

    Listened to the discussion on the Beastcast, which was mostly Vinny and Alex.

    There are parts of this game that sound fascinating and that I really want to see, but it seems there's a lot of bullshit getting in the way of that.

    Which all sounds par for the course for a Kojima game really.

    I was told Red Dead 2 was a 25-30 hour game and I spent 115 before I beat it. Some people just play the plot and say, "I'm done."

  • OlivawOlivaw good name, isn't it? the foot of mt fujiRegistered User regular
    The Kotaku piece has sold me on this game such that I almost don’t want to hear anyone else talk about it anymore. Austin is right, that’s a real all-timer of a review

    I’m still interested in reading the thinkpieces about it, but I feel like I need to play it myself and form my own thoughts before I get frustrated with other people’s

    Most people beat one route of FE Three Houses in about 60-70 hours.

    I would have to make an HR complaint on that one

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    The game REALLY seemed to click with Heather, more than with any reviewer I seen. She mentions the area where she goes out of the way to (I guess I'll spoil it to be safe)
    travel along dangerous areas so she could set up zip lines that other people would be able to use

    So I imagine she explored every moment of it.

    Vinny and Alex both say they took about 60 hours to beat it.

    I've decided that I want this game.

    But I'm flat broke so I'm not getting it for awhile.

    Maybe that's for the best?

  • HobnailHobnail Registered User regular
    You could do crime for the money you need to buy the video game

    I'm working 80+ hours a week to pay off debt... That seems like it should be a crime.

  • Mr. GMr. G Registered User regular
    I have now watched the gameplay and thought to myself "yum yum yum gimme I'll eat it all up" so I guess somehow the target audience is me

    the only thing I'm wary of is the Yoshi's Island-ass baby thing

    It is but not on your end you're actually the crimee in this case rather than the crimer

    I have to remind myself to turn off the controller speaker if i play this or else it's gonna be pretty weird having baby sounds coming out of my rented room in the middle of the night

    I could bamboozle them by playing Death Stranding during my work hours... But then I'd have to have the game.

    I'm trapped in the spider's web here.

    The answer may be to liquidate any non vital assets and abandon your debts to live off the grid in whatever wilderness is nearest to you and has the smallest possible number of white supremecist terrorist cells

    I'm a little concerned what happens if I don't pick up this game for a month after release (when I actually have time for it), will the emojis and litter packages just dominate the landscape?

    Do one with games I've actually played!

    Anyway, I can't play Death Stranding because I don't want to have to explain to my wife for 20 minutes what's going on in some bonkers Kojima cut scene every time she walks through the room.

    It looks like they are putting players together on small instances, with a new instance created with each zone. It sounds like there's a system to cluster players at about the same level of progression.

    I can see how they could keep that going for quite some time, especially with the way Sony continuously supports and markets its originals via sales, promotions, and the eventual PS Plus giveaway.
