It's a kojima as gently caress game, with all that entails. I really enjoyed it, but I can see where it could be divisive.

everyone at first was like "wait we just walk around delivering stuff?" and as it went on it became "hell yeah we walk around and deliver stuff"

i really enjoyed it, played it all the way through (never met conan obrien though, for some reason)

conan o'brien lives at the bottom of the box canyon where everyone would pile up trucks so you can't actually get to his front door

they had to patch in the ability to delete other people's trucks

i got bored with death stranding cause the combat was just so terrible and the rest of it wasnt as good as i wanted. i could definitely see a version of this game where its more along the lines of factorio or satisfactory where the cycle is explore -> expand -> defend -> repeat in a post apocalypse where you're reconnecting settlements.

i did get the hat from Conan though

I feel like describing the game as "just a courier/walking simulator" game is disingenuous, even though that's the core of the game. There are a lot of other systems playing off each other which is why its a great game, I hate euro truck simulator but loved death stranding for example. There's a lot of exploration, "base" building, character progression and narrative, mystery, some classic MGS stealth / suspense, MGS style fights etc etc.

If you're even remotely interested its worth trying, like everyone says I can get why some people might be "eh" on it but it will probably surprise you with how engaging it is.

it is a good game

I'm on chapter 3 and having fun. The director's cut doesn't have Monster branded energy drinks though, just Bridger branded ones.

no, it very definitely captures the exact and perfectly realistic experience of the life of a courier, especially the parts where you fight off angry ghosts with piss grenades

It's a walking simulator in the sense that it makes engaging gameplay out of the act of walking. Plus, it's significantly less of a focus once you move past the early game, aside from some areas near the end of the game.

i wonder what the venn diagram for "people who enjoy Death Stranding" and "people who enjoy SnowRunner" looks like - games where the traversal is the gameplay, and not just what you do to go places to have gameplay in, if that makes sense

anyway I loved Death Stranding but I generally tolerate Kojima's unique brand of bullshit, so steer clear if the game being Maximum Auteur bothers you i guess
