in contrast with for example Skyrim where you couldn’t walk like 20 feet without hitting some Draugr infested tomb

The great thing is that you can skip or rush through all the dialogue and cutscenes, which is what I've been doing.

I'm really getting into the gameplay after being a little iffy on it at first. Now that I have weapons to deal with BTs and just got to chapter 3. I stayed up till 3am playing the game before going to bed. I didn't do that for Outer Worlds, bounced off it real quick.

I guess what I'm saying is that Death Stranding is a better game than Outer Worlds.

I started playing this via a redbox rental.

The wife has never seen a Kojima game before and has no idea what she is in for. She is both horrified and interested in the story. One of her quips was "This is terrible, don't you dare let BB get hurt, he's just so cute I can't stand it, I want to protect this virtual baby"

I personally am finding the controls clunky and a bit frustrating to have to either constantly hold R2/L2 or deal with the QTEs, and at the same time find it kind of relaxing in a sense.

Don't like the BT encounters though, could do without those, especially if I'm carrying a full load of goodies, it's then hard to see the "warning" indicator from BB. I wish there was a way to tell what area is a BT area so I can just avoid the whole thing.

Also is there any point to getting max 5* with a zone, or is just barely filled in 5* enough? I got a hat from the first node.

Bold move to give a long cutscene to someone phonetically sounding out a language they don't actually speak.

This is a good idea, I haven’t listened to them since Allejulah! Don’t bend, Ascend!, but I have a Spotify playlist of electronic stuff that are just as dark and have the same sound palette, but is a bit weirder, like Burial, Arca, Oneohtrix Point Never, Clark.. but then I discovered you can’t listen to Spotify in game. Which I can understand I guess, since even tho I hate low roar, I was pretty amazed by the sequence with ‘Asylum for the Feeling’, which I kinda want to do a Godspeed You! Black Emperor style remix of now..

Hard mode changes literally nothing except for enemy health/damage and even then it's not that hard. And you can change the difficulty at any time.

Just started playing this on PC and the story so far is proper poo poo.
