I just got this game and I love it already. I hope I just deliver poo poo or something besides getting into shootouts all the time. I’m too old and lazy for that kind of game anymore. So far this is slow and weird, and that’s perfect.

There's a handful of combat setpieces. As soon as those start, pause the game and dial down the difficult to Very Easy. Idk what your goals for the game are but you can still 100% the game even if you cheese those with minimal difficulty.

Good to know, I can put up with a little but I’m pretty happy it’s not another metal gear so far at least. I’m sad to see it might be a flop because this appears to be quite my jam.

I was thinking they all just took on their company’s name, between Bridges and Fragile.

I just got to chapter 4 and I’m still loving it except for some of that annoying as gently caress terrain in chapter 3. Must be what it’s like to be a mailman in Iceland.

I would also accept that Sam's in-universe name turns out to be Norman Reedus.

It seems like they’re saying it is, at least that’s what I’ve learned while he takes a poo poo

This game is actually tempting me to see The Postman, would it give me enough DS vibes to make it worth it or is it three hours of trash?

Video game merch lives in bizarro world where the official stuff is cheaply made poo poo and you actually want a knockoff someone on etsy made.

Wow drat you’re not kidding, there’s some impressive DS stuff on Etsy.

I don’t really want any of it but it’s impressive :v:

These would be good if you didn’t want to lose a key


Ok this is extremely tempting, only because I use respirators like this at work

I’m not building much of anything or collecting many materials. Is that going to bit me in the rear end?

I just don’t often see the need for constructing anything, and when I do I’m not on the chiral network.

Also there always seems to be tons of materials available to fabricate all the stuff I need. If it all runs out at some point it’ll be funny when I have to switch over to just collecting tons of trash.

The story reason is the body bag is timefall resistant.

Except the face, although maybe it closed up while it was raining, I can’t remember.

Still doesn’t explain why Sam doesn’t just have a timefall resistant tyvek suit in case of emergencies.

Most of the zip lines I found didn’t connect to anything when I needed them.

Also I only built a road the one time I had to for a quest. I’m not even sure where I was supposed to be placing them.

You can, but non-Sam voidouts are instant game over.

Wait really? I had read they didn’t really matter. I left a dead mule behind a little while ago and so far nothing has happened. He was just too far from the incinerator for me

Eventually the body will void out and you'll get a game over screen. You need to grab the body and deliver it to the incinerator to be able to continue freely.

but you have a pretty long time to do it then I guess, right? I’m a couple hours past when I killed the guy and so far, nothing. Maybe I’ll go back and get the body if I can find it.

Now that I’m almost at the end of DS, I’m pretty sure if there had been a big budget Zybourne clock game the story would be indistinguishable from something Kojima would write. In fact I’m starting to think Hideo Kojima is a pseudonym used by a Japanese version of SA.

I thought the double jump only showed up in that last long beach scene, was that seriously in the game the whole time?

I probably did like three hours of deliveries exclusively with the truck. i also have a broken brain and lile a hundred hours in American Truck Simulator so

I used the truck plenty and never made any roads besides the one a quest made me do

I’m probably not smart but collecting all those materials was boring as hell
