it seriously is a game devised by a lunatic who was previously held back by a corporate team that had to frequently say "Hey, rear end in a top hat, stop loving around down there".

the only thing i could think of that would turn me off of "FedEx Hell Walker's Misadventures in Babysitting: A Hideo Kojima Joint: The Game" is if the controls are super fucky and broken.

Kojima and Yoko Taro are the horniest people in the games industry, but Yoko Taro wouldn't get caught dead making the Quiet tweet.

And to be clear, I mean that if people called Taro out on making a character design like Quiet, his response would be "yeah I like rear end and tiddies what of it"

any man who wears that mask clearly possesses some powerful horny energy

If you've forgotten that's exactly what Kojima did, and that tweet was a followup he made after getting dogpiled for it. It's just a weirdly translated "there's a plot reason for it too, guys"

"lookit dem titties" is a plot point in kojimaland

To be fair the first half hour of the game is like: Kojima productions, a game by hideo kojima, did we mention hideo kojima?

Hideo Kojima Presents, a Hideo Kojima Productions Game, Death Stranding, a Hideo Kojima Joint.

Why not have this game take place in actual Iceland/Ireland if you want to ape this kind of landscape? The map scale would make more sense as well. If Kojima wanted his game to look "surreal" and "alien", why not actually create a surreal and alien landscape instead of aping something that actually exists? (not to mention that describing the countryside of another country as alien is a bit weird).
Does this game really need to take place in the US? Does the theme of connectivity only apply to the American experience? Does Kojima see Iceland as too backwater? That it doesn't have ads or the internet? Is he cynical about Americans being uninterested in his weird game if it doesn't take place in the US?

imho he's dunking on americans and our incessant need to hate each other for both valid reasons, and for the dumbest fuckin inconsequential poo poo imaginable

hence why sam "reedus and the fetus" porter needs to RECONNECT america


because death has left them stranded. stranding. idk im hungover

The first story mission where you deliver Dead President Mom to a mountain incinerator to get roasted and then spooky bois appear owns. I failed it though cuz I dicked around in a river.

a real oversight with this game: you dont get extra likes for doing sicknasty bmx tricks on your trike and invariably driving off a cliff, dooming the jizz bottles you have to "deliver"

United Cities of America? more like United Cities of Fuckin Nerds.

e: no it doesnt matter that the aforementioned sicknasty trick was done while i got disoriented and ended up further away from my destination, it still matters.

OK so:
Blood grenades: Kill BTs
Poopoo grenades: Nailing a BT with one lets you see their footprints all the time, which is scary the first time you use it because you think they've found you
Peepee grenades: Make BTs slowly walk away from where you threw it? Hard to tell, they do a weird wiggly runny animation
Gamer Boy Bathwater: I have no idea what this does.

Reedus Water makes them move a bit, afaik. Really not worth it imho

Yeah, that's why I'm curious if you actually create a creater if you die to the BT miniboss, and that might be a reason why they drag you to a certain spot instead of fighting you where they catch you. (or if you simply die and the game asks you to load the last save)

Also: whenever Kojima talked about the social aspect of this game, I thought "yeah, blabla, hype/marketing talk" but I have to say I never witnessed an experience as with this game, where I actually bring stuff with me (that makes the game slower/more cumbersome for me) simply to create stuff for other players while I'm on the way. It's absolutely awesome, and I can totally see myself playing the game after finishing the story simply to maintain and/or build stuff for other players.

It also introduced me to cool new bands I didn't know before, and allthough every low roar song sounds the same to me somehow, they all are good and I think I need an album from them.

Last night I just decided to beat the hell out of any MULES that came my way. After I cleared them out I got a message that the area was going to be clear of them for other players for a while too. That's pretty cool.

I found that 9/10 it can be doable on a bike. In the end I just started booking it through and only once I got caught in the tar with the bike.

if im not doing a time-sensitive mission, i just park my vehicle, unload anything i dont want wrecked on it, and let them capture me.


then i gently caress up the catcher :getin:

you don't need ziplines at all until chapter 6 and i would not recommend building any more until that point. ziplines are for high-elevation areas where vehicles have trouble reaching, and that doesn't apply to the eastern half of the map

and any roads that are actually on the chiral network should get at least some help with materials. don't build roads until you've established network coverage in those areas

counterpoint: ziplines fuckin rule
