I'd love to see a stat like "399,478 ml blood expended" on the end game stat screen, because man, I splashed a lot of blood around like it was Splatoon. Maybe it's in the Bridge Link menu.

I got the zipline and have been having a lot of fun scooting around and not doing the plot. I have a few questions though before I head West into the mountains. 1) Is bandwidth measured on a region-by-region basis or is it global? If I go back to the chapter two area could I set up a whole suite of ziplines there? 2) Is it safe to remove remote preppers like, say, the Film Director or the Chiral Artist from the zipline network if I have them at five stars/their standard missions only go to other five-starred locations? 3) Is there an easy way on the map to toggle structures I've built and structures other people have built? I want to tear down some old bridges and things so I can build more ziplines but I don't necessarily want to wade through everything on there.

Do we know yet what the black strands towards the sky are? they seem to be connected to BT areas, of course, but also seem to be different to each player. Is it where another player got dragged to a BT boss on that same server?

Is the Timefall Porter drink that replaces your Monster Energy drink supposed to be beer, water or another kind of energy drink? Edit: I assume it's beer because they grow wheat at the farm and the can kind of looks like a beer but then why would it keep giving you a stamina boost?

They will have orders for areas that aren't at 5 stars yet, though I'm not sure if you will get few enough orders from other locations for it to matter. 3. Your icons on the map are blue, other people's property is green.

This game has me perfectly torn between transporting truckloads of soil over mountains at 5mph for hours on end and pushing the story ahead.

If you have to choose between making a long trip with a truck or multiple trips with a zip for a big order what do you usually do? Let's say South Knot to Mt Knot.

Ch4/5-ish - there's a farm in the very south of the central region that uses timefall to accelerate harvests, they grow wheat and maybe other stuff? There's also a mission around this time where you deliver some like nutrition paste to a mountainous waystation. And there's always the giant waterbears that float around everywhere.

Population scale discussion: I'm pretty sure the small map is a direct result of the Stranding as well. They kind of imply that spacetime is all kinds of screwed up, and the map scaling is less metaphorical and more "no the world's pretty messed up right now, it's physically getting smaller thanks to the chiral network". (Spoiled because I've seen people talk about this before and I think only the ending of the game backs up my theory.)

That's still a lot of mouths to feed when you have limited resources and splosion ghosts roaming around. I'm still in a dream, Snake Eater...

Probably already posted, but again. From The Onion quote:After years of hype, Hideo Kojima’s latest mind-bending odyssey is finally out. But as is typical for the gaming auteur’s unique work, there’s tons you need to know before embarking on this epic adventure. Here are OGN’s tips for getting started on Death Stranding.

Nah, he still causes voidouts, but one of the early interviews gets into how the voidouts of repatriates are smaller because most of the energy is diverted to the seam, or the beach I forget which.

huh cool Without spoiling anything too hard, does the game ever incentivize you back into walking around doing stuff or have I spoiled myself rotten by driving a truck everywhere now? I have ziplines but I haven't played with them at all yet and I thought maybe that's how they get you.

In other words: No, you can't destroy the whole map because the 1: The craters aren't programmatically generated, they're built by hand just like the rest of the map and 2: You eventually wouldn't be able to encounter more BTs to create more craters anyway. I am looking forward to seeing a video of someone creating every crater possible and showing off what some of the weirder areas look like and what the map looks like.

DaveKap posted:The BTs only show up in very specific places because the craters are all pre-made cut-outs. Since you can't go into the craters made by a void-out, you're essentially wiping that BT encounter off the map. Essentially, if you play poorly and don't reload your saves, you make the game easier because you reduce your BT encounters but make it harder because you have to go around the crater. As demonstrated in that video though, you can create BTs anywhere you please by leaving a dead body there. The video doesn't show what happens after the ensuing voidout but I'm guessing they just don't leave craters for practical reasons.

Intel&Sebastian posted:huh cool If you enjoy seeing how far the occasionally wonky vehicle physics can be pushed, no not really. The mountain is the big "walk here and set up zip lines" area, but the number of abandoned trucks in silly areas shows how far a creative player can get. Near the very end there are some mechanic/map design elements that force you to go on foot more than one might want, but that's the worst I can think of.

There are a bunch of lategame orders that are hundreds of kilos of gear, or times when you just say "gently caress it" and take two dozen orders all the way from South Knot to Mountain Knot at the same time, and all the ziplines in the world won't help you then.
