I am only an hour in and had an entire huge post in my mind complaining about this and that and mexican soap opera level melodrama the game throws at you when it all just clicked together. Tha game simply had too much hype and expectations. If you treat it like another wacky japanese game to explore unusual new mechanics and laugh at silly drama than its absolutely enjoyable. Music is very good.

I wish this game had fishing. And I'm sure that if we did, we would have to use the guy's pubes to craft fly lures or something else as grose as that.

I heard there is no penalty if you don't take a dump in the entire 80+ hour story, so is taking a dump just for weird perverts?

I played 6 hours straight and I love this game. Looking forward to seeing just how Chapter 3 changes it up. I'm at the part where I've just been told I have to trek from the wind farm all the way back to the city, from which I will go all the way to the port city. I'm extremely excited to take on this journey tomorrow.

I never expected anything other than a wacky japanese game with unhinged Kojima so it's pretty much a fantastic game.

Goddamnit the cuscenes are painful to watch. The writing is awful. This man need DRACONIAN editor who will hit him at his hands with a ruler and yell "This is crap, Kojima! You wrote crap, stop it right now" until he gets better.

Yeah I'd also like to know. It feels like they're always a straight wall between me and the general area I'm trying to move towards so I've stopped sneaking and started just smashing headfirst into them and then booking it. I'm usually good at stealth games but I'm just finding this annoying since I can't plan a route and it feels like there's no way to find a solution without spending forever randomly walking away from the sensor direction.

A lot of the early cutscenes actually feel like they weren't going to use all of them and then they did anyway, and so that's why tears get explained multiple times.

I guess if you have a big star (or their likeness) you want to use every bit of footage you have?

Kojima's writing has always been bad. It is occassionally good but a good bit of the charm in his games is that the weirdness masks the shittiness fairly well.

I would not really recommend playing any Kojima game solo. They're enjoyable but you'll have an absolute blast watching the cutscenes with friends. There's enough good and interesting stuff to actually get invested in and enough awful and weird stuff to make for an awesome drunk friends watch

I usually position the camera exactly where the sensor is pointing away from (so the sensor points at me) and then walk the other way, or lets say in something between 110° and 160° to the source, until it detects the next thing. All areas I have visited until now seemed to either be a "maze" (with solid lines of BTs) or a zickzack minesweeper-like arrangement. Hard to explain, but yeah, I always try to sneak away from or at max 90° to where the sensor is pointing, though then I often have to hold my breath.

Yeah and it's still quite easy (so far) on hard.

You can change at any time, no reason not to go with it imo.

I've also read you can only S rank things on hard which ties into trophies? Not too sure about that though.

I just walk like at like a 90 degree angle when the flappy thing goes crazy, and just circle around it. Crouching and holding r1 when it's close of coursem. Like 6 hours in and haven't been close to getting caught yet.

Also, where is this garage elevator that you can supposedly park the bike on?

I’m guessing it’s instanced. Some people will see yours. Some people will see his.

For getting around BTs I just hold my breath if the thing turns orange. Otherwise I just go around them. It looks like the light faces the direction of the closest one. I don’t even bother pinging with L1.

I do not know who wrote it but intro credits said written by Hideo Kojima. It ultimately doesn't matter who did it but I have to say, I am profoundly shocked by how bad everything is. You've got money, you've got honest to got hollywood actors and this is what you produce? Cutscenes are appalingly bad. I compared it previously to soap opera, now I wish I was watching a soap opera. People barely make any sense. They seriously struggle to produce meaning out of the words they use, its like I don't know watching a stroke patient try to speak, its just sad and you kind of get what they are saying but this is professional actors and supposedly a highly funded piece?

game is designed, producted, directed and cast by hideo kojima.

i've only just started chapter 1 but everything so far as been fine and the cutscenes great. i mean there are new words for the future game world popping up you barely have context for in a expositiony way, as par the course for a kojima game, but im not sure what the hell you are expecting here. it looks and sounds great to me and its making sense from what little context i have so... :shrug:

anyway, glad the GTD voice actor is doing his best GTD impression, i thought it was gonna be some random american accent. also lol at people telling me there would be no codec. big grins when i saw that word.
