That's not entirely true, DOOMS is apparently just called ESP in the jp version.

Was thinking about Die Hardman repeating information in this game and had horror flashback to Miller saying the exact same thing every time you shot a satellite in MGSV. Much worse imo.

Death Stranding was very good. After the ending I wandered around for a while taking in the landscape for the last time. I don't think I'll go back and go completionist with the few gaps on the map, both for time purposes (lot of other games before the end of the year) and also because of how fitting and poetic that last ending shot was both of them, really. Just want to leave it at that.

CaptainCrunch posted:Enjoying the hell out of this game but I’ve hit the part that stops me in every game. The boss fight with some extra requirement that I’m no good at. Couple pages ago but a general recommendation for “situations where you know you’ll have to fight because you flubbed it once already” is to abuse private storage. Find/create a postbox/room/depot, dump your precious cargo, go get your rear end shot by mules and eaten by BTs while kramering around to your heart’s content and backtrack to pick it up when you’re done, all for the usually-low price of “one PCC”. Just don’t leave it in a truck unless you know you’ll be less than 500m or so from it, ever. (re: your specific situation, I dumped it in a truck before the fight but the tar pool inexplicably ate the truck but not the cargo, came back to it after and it had still taken 20% damage but at that point idgaf compared to the 80% it took on my first attempt’s kramering. Parking it outside the tar area entirely probably would have been fine, unfortunately no friends had left a postbox or room actually-nearby so the backtracking would have been all the way to the outpost)

if you are really wary about it, the game does a quick autosave just before the whale appears. so drive maybe 100m away and leave the cargo in there then go fight the whale

Lol that is also how I learned what the otter hat does, but I was too panicked to appreciate it. It is also where I learned the virtue of carrying a sticky gun with you (by not having a sticky gun with me)

15 Point of no return is roughly end of chapter 8/beginning of chapter 9

is it just me or does the tall BT who sometimes grows an Amelie head seem a lot tougher than the flying whale BT? I keep getting lost as to whether I should shoot the left shoulder or the body area, and the shoulder is a much smaller target than the whale in general

Shoot specifically at Higgs, wherever it's glowing gold. You don't do damage unless you hit the gold part and you do bonus damage if you hit him dead on. It only grows an Amelie head if you hit her. But yeah, Big Boy BT was much tougher than the whale which doesn't really even attack you.

Fun game. I wish near the end that I had spent some of that 90 hours I roughly spent in the middle of the country beefing up the other land a bit because there was almost nothing there to help me and very little fellow porter helpUrsine Catastrophe posted:Couple pages ago but a general recommendation for “situations where you know you’ll have to fight because you flubbed it once already” is to abuse private storage.

In that late fight I had the cargo on my back and I was on foot but somehow after the cutscene it ended up in the tar across screen from me anyway

Every bridge, ladder, postbox, rope, anything with your name on it is temporarily deleted and the contents if any transferred to capital knot. The only way you can help yourself premptively is if you printed poo poo pre-chapter 9 and left it in port knot; beyond that you’re entirely at the mercy of the contents of the shared lockers in the distro centers and whatever postboxes/private rooms your fellow porters left.

simble posted:My favorite MULE moment was when they started using sticky guns before I had unlocked them. As I was jumping over the last ravine heading towards the Junk Dealer's place on the way to the tar lake, a mule sticky-gunned the armed nuke I was carrying. I ended up reloading. I recently finished this and have now gone back to read the entire thread from where I got too worried about spoilers at page 98. I haven't played a Kojima game before, and I really enjoyed this (and will slowly try to grind out the platinum during 2020). Definitely a contender for my favorite game of the year, the only uncertainty being that I finally got to Nier: Automata in March. Some disorganised thoughts -
DalaranJ posted:So, what’s the meaning of the two masks? Is the black mask the will of the UCA to keep existing? That's an interesting suggestion. The connection that came into my mind with the black mask (although probably not the one intended by the writer) was that it represented shame - it had for some reason reminded me of another story about the powerful making use of the small and helpless, where the covering served to hide one's face from god. I think we'll be talking about this game for a long time.

I don't think I ever actually shot at anything gold on him. I shot almost exclusively at his legs.

Fair enough I guess, I didn't really bother shooting anywhere else because of the man surrounded by shining gold constantly shouting "SHOOT ME I'M RIGHT HERE HA HA HA" edit: It seems like the boss BTs have the same properties as their smaller bretheren, in that you can damage them anywhere if you make the spot red and agitated first with grenades or other blood weapons. Fastest way to kill BT bosses seems to be hucking a few grenades to paint the whole thing red and then unloading with standard lethal ammo, which does nearly double the damage of hematic rounds when shot through a hematic grenade cloud or at a red spot on a BT.

Monkey Fracas posted:I only accidentally figured it out- does the game ever explicitly tell you about this? I kept trying to ping them at first Surprisingly no, only in loading screen/data menu tips. Not even in your first encounter with them at the incinerator, it only tells you about the odradek pointing at them and scanning to make them visible. I guess they just figured you'd see them disappear when you started to move, come back when you stood still, and put two and two together?
