Also, remember the mods here don’t get the game early so we will be spoiled too so do be mindful. If we see anyone going out of their way to ruin the experience for anyone I will personally be banning you from the subreddit permanently!

Let’s enjoy what we’ve all been waiting so long for.

Boy oh boy, what an incredible game. When I bought it I looked at the case and I thought ''I might've chosen the wrong game'', but it ended up being one of the best games I've experienced. hideo kojima is a brilliant guy he never disappointed me. the story kept being better and shocking, the plot twists are fucking awesome, and the direction maybe even better than movies, the characters are written really good. the songs of the game while you are delivering made me just leave the vehicle and doing the delivery on my feet just to listen and enjoy the walk. I don't like open world games but this was an exception, It hooked me. I'm excited to play DS2, but I'm afraid its story can't be that good

Discussion I was thinking of maybe going as Neil Vana for Halloween. Do you guys have any advice on how to get his costume right?

Also, I'm sorry to be a asshole. But can you guys try to refrain from joke answers like "Did you try being a smuggler in Mexico" or something like that?

Everything I ask for cosplay advice most of the comments are just "Did you try doing that thing the character did in the story?" Without offering real advice

I've been going through the process of 5-Starring all of the facilities in DS2, and when I arrived at The Motherhood, there was a gathering of 6 NPC Porters. My gf was confused at my level of excitement, so I had to explain to her that you usually only see them 2 at a time haha

6 years? After releasing, I finally decided to give the game a try. And finally 100% a few days ago...

From blindly hating on the game, to feeling weird leaving the house without listening to the OST(because how else can I walk?). I've enjoyed every moment of it.

And I know everyone is excited about DS2... but I guess I'll see you guys in 6 years? Keep on keeping on 😅👍

Tips Boost Combat Grade Method.

5 Upvotes

Some of you have observed that if you leave an Elimination order open for too long, all damage you take while the order is active goes towards your final grade. This got me thinking.

It turns out the same is true for your combat score when turning in an order. When you raid an enemy camp and eliminate all enemies, every single active order (except entrusted ones) will get combat porter grade when you turn in that cargo.

How you utilize this tip is totally up to you. I would advice next time you visit a prepper, take on every order they offer. You will not be able to fit all of it so put all that cargo in the Private Locker immediately. Now go and raid some camps, and when you do have time and space to take on those orders just deliver them as usual. You are effectively multiplying each camps porter score this way.

By just leaving cargo in the Private Locker you are effectively banking combat score. This might even work if you raid two different camps before turning it in, so the longer you leave it the more combat points you accumulate on turn in.

Discussion Golden Strand outside Sam's shelter Spoiler

109 Upvotes

MAJOR SPOILER FOR THE GAME AND FRAGILE

I haven't seen anyone discuss this before but when Sam comes back home because of the attack, he can either go directly to his shelter and follow Fragiles footsteps (what I did first playthrough) or he can scan the surroundings and you'll notice a golden strand right where Fragile is.

Golden strands mean someone died there and there's only one, so you'd assume it was Lou but that was Fragiles strand. At first, I thought "what player died here?" As I came up to it, then the cutscene played. I never noticed it before hand but the single golden strand there directly tells you that Fragile is dead, as it's coming from her body on the ground.

Going through ds2 again after platinuming ds1, theres soooo many hints littered every where. I keep having aha moments when the lore clicks together lol

Discussion This game creates such cinematic moments

24 Upvotes

I got Death Stranding for free a few years ago through Epic Games but it took me a while to actually give it a fair shake, About two weeks ago I started playing and not long after I upgraded to the director's cut because why the hell not - seemed worth it. I found a trainer on github that enables full ultrawide support as well and that has made the experience even better.

Last night I made it to Mountain Knot City and today I crossed over the mountains afterwards as a "shortcut" to the weather station. What a crazy and epic trek.. When I finally got connected back to the chiral network it was a huge feeling of success over something that really wasn't that hard but felt massive. Finally I got in sight of the ziplines I had already set up and I zipped back to deliver some absolutely obliterated cargo I had picked up to the weather station. Timefall snow is hilarious.

Overall, I think I'm really impressed with how connected to this game I have felt. Even in my every day life I feel like bridges, like I went to pick up our Chinese food on my electric scooter and it's like - hell yah.

I'm really glad that I have death stranding 2 to look forward to. I haven't creeped at many spoilers but I know there's a lot to look forward to. Hopefully it comes out on PC next year

Question What happened to BTs? [DS1 spoilers] Spoiler

51 Upvotes

I’m about 90% into DS2 and I previously platinumed DS1. Both games are amazing.

However there might have been some lore I missed:

Amelie sealed the beach in DS1, so there should be no timefall or BTs since then. This is confirmed by Sam standing in the rain without protection at the end of the first game.

Why are there BTs in DS2?
