I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

he's talking about the "Amazon charges for preorders" part. which I'm pretty sure isn't true

oh it is true now, they changed it recently, even in the uk. they now charge on all pre-orders, probably to stop people hogging a pre-order and then canning it a week before release. sucks.

No it's not. I even called them to make sure. it runs a transaction to make make sure your account is good for the money but they don't charge until the item ships.

usa right? gonna have to check the uk ones properly now, i've been avoiding pre-orders at the min.

going by this https://www.vg247.com/2019/05/30/amazon-europe-uk-now-charging-full-amount-on-pre-orders/ and its seems to be true? for uk at least.

amazons website still says payment on dispatch, guess i wont know for sure until i pre-order something.

Kojima claims to have designed the box art himself, and this is one instance where his ego is definitely hurting the end product

Shinkawa art would be awesome but those are not bad, just generic sci-fi + famous actor. They're probably better to catch the attention of a random person walking at a game store.

The best compromise is going for a double box cover, Shinkawa art on the inside so you can flip it when you're home.

That totally changes what I was thinking about the game. People are visiting the afterlife on purpose, and it seems like it's some kind of parallel universe? It keeps getting deeper!

Presumably Heartman has a reason for doing the 21 minutes thing. And he literally says in the clip it makes it hard for him to communicate with people. Which is, like, the whole theme of the game

We know that the bad guy leader of Homo Demens says he has a strong connection to the other side, and now we got Heartman sacrificing his ability to really operate and connect with people in the world so he can go to the other side as often as possible

So beyond just making aging rain and invisible monsters, the other side has some kind of destructive allure

David D. Davidson

Orca lady?
Refn and Kojima said Heartman is looking for his family on the other side. Presumably the Death Stranding hosed up his heart so dying every twenty-one minutes is a side effect of that.

EDIT: Also doing the math, He said this was the 216,500th cycle, that means he's been doing this for a little under ten years.
