The worst thing about the writing is the repetitive poo poo. Die Hardon literally says at one point “as she just explained” and repeats the same thing your sister said. I like the story and mechanics though. I’m willing to put up with the writing to find out what the heck is going on in the world.

It's for smooth surfaces. you just need to keep pulling back on the stick to pop wheelies as you hit an obstacle and press X to boost at the same time, just keep mashing these two commands and you'll eventually rocket over pretty much anything and you don't take much damage unless you fall a long distance, even then i've had the bike survive falls it DEFINITELY shouldnt have

Yo I just got the trike in Chapter 3 should/can I fast travel back to the Chapter 2 reason and grind up connections across that map? I did a 12 hour session yesterday, game is just incredible. Loading up on other people’s dropped cargo and delivering it for them was pretty fun in a Marie Kondo sort of way.

Great Scott.Joe Gillian posted:I mean yeah if you ignore context and all that, or anything I actually wrote. You start by let's say gently suggesting what I should think or say, right? And when I reply you are saying I'm telling you what to think. You say the game's story can be badly written in bold but I can like it anyway. Then it only may be, because you haven't played the dang thing anyway, but you're taking up for that position on it. Saying that position should be posted without contest, and not the other way around for whatever reason. You're just making things up and frankly, that's okay, we're all just trying to make sense of things in this topsy turvy world. What is your intended idea here, other than that you didn't like my post? I was just talking shop with somebody I've talked games with on here for years. I get that you think the tone of my defending the game is not good. Okay? Well I didn't like your post either, man, and now it's a game war. Anyways we're about on schedule.

I've been watching people play until about 18-19 hour in and holy hell the writing is awful, but hey the gameplay looks pretty fun. Probably gonna pick this up on PC when it comes out if it's 40 or less.

So I noticed a tooltip that says MULEs won’t bother attacking you if you’re not carrying cargo. Does that just mean deliverables, or will they still ping you and come after you for your ladders and boots, too?

They also seem less likely to go after materials. You can tell when they're after you as it'll highlight the relevant containers after the scan pulse.

It's set in America because Kojima wanted his story to take place in America. Who gives a poo poo if it looks like Iceland!!!

It's a loving Kojima production lmao if anyone is complaining about odd dialogue and a nonsense story they've been living under a rock and huffing glue. He has never written a game that didn't include stupid anime nonsense.

Mongolians probably don't get as amusingly upset as Americans, though. You know how Kojima is.

Today I learned you can't just power through BT areas with your bike. I just reloaded my save since I just left a place. But yeesh it dismounts you from your bike and also makes you drop a ton of your cargo. Then drags you quite a ways away

decided to hulk it out and take 19kg more than i can carry just to see what happens. i recommend everyone try it at least once. just load everything on your back and don;t entrust anything with anyone else. i'm just curious how long you'll last. i made it ten minutes before reloading my save.
