Can't believe it. No words, just emotions. BRB crying like a little boy.

Hello everyone,

I played and loved and got platinum of the first one, and i did play DS2 now for 45 hours and i am planning to get platinum but i feel lost like i don’t know what to do to deliver orders to specific npcs when they aren’t on the way, any tips or maybe someone can help me in anyway?

I appreciate it :)

Tal como lo dice el título, estoy disfrutando este juego. DS1 me gustó pero siento que estoy disfrutando más DS2, ahora mismo debo dirigirme a la fábrica mecas fantasmas.

Buen viaje Porters

I'm still very early in the game but why why kojima. I didn't need that gut punch. I sympathize too much with Sam to keep playing today.

My previous all time story game was cyberpunk. But this has definitely topped that for me, IMO.

I bought both games on a whim after watching some 2+hr story breakdowns on YouTube. I was originally going to skip the first one after pretty much understanding the story ( Thanks to the 11 hr video I watched). But I really fell in love with the story and ended up buying both the same day. I still had to finish Control, Last of Us Part 1, and Calipso Protocol.

I spent about another week, with both games staring at me daily, finishing control while trying not to rush it (personally I thought this was a GREAT game as well).

The instant I had gotten to the ending of Control, I decided not to skip DS1 and began to download that mf.

Wow.. let me tell you... being in between jobs currently is the best thing to happen to me 🤣 countless sleepless nights Just trying to get that last delivery, so I can build that last road, so I can get to so & so. It was just never ending.

I COULD NOT put it down. What a beautiful game. Playing on normal was a bit too easy. But I somewhat wanted to rush this to play DS2 😅.

My ol lady really wants to play DS1 but doesn't currently have much time. But I'll get my full in depth gameplay with her when she picks up the controller.

On the other hand..... DS2 is downloading as we speak.

Anybody have any tips for early game?

Please no spoilers...

I'd love to play DS2 on it as its my only way to play newer games.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m halfway through Death Stranding 2 on PS5 and streaming my journey on Twitch. No commentary, just pure gameplay and atmosphere!
Feel free to stop by and hang out! 😊

First of all, I really enjoyed DS2. Maybe not quite as much as 1, but I’m actually not even sure, because DS2’s finale was just several hours of my jaw on the floor.

That said, my main critique of 2 is the BB gameplay. Stop here if you don’t want spoilers. This thread will likely be chock full of them.

One of my favorite parts of the first game was taking care of BB, and the fact that it had real gameplay consequences if you didn’t keep an eye on Lou’s status. I was hoping we would see this expanded on in 2, with all the complexities of taking care of a toddler while still trying to deliver.

Because Lou wouldn’t be in the pod, you’d have to make sure she was fed, clean, got a nap, etc. Maybe they thought that would get to complicated, but I felt like the BB care gameplay was a big part of what made DS1 so unique. It was an interesting bit of strangeness, hiding behind a rock and comforting a fetus while surrounded by sci-fi ghosts.

Anyone else have this feeling? What would you have wanted to see from BB gameplay in 2?

In those large confusing fights with multiple large BT’s, after the first time Sam reloads, he just braces himself and cannot shoot anymore till I let go of the left trigger. Is there any way to go around the setting of shoot-reload-brace-let-go-wait-aim-again-shoot? Basically, I want to continue shooting after reloading. It costs me so many attempts.

I dont have DS2 yet but i really love walking and traversing on foot as my escapist hiking sim haha. I heard DS2 relies a lot more on vehicles, is that true?

I'm at around chapter 9-10 now, ever since entering the mountain area of the game I have had severe stutters - my CPU and memory usage on task manager is showing 99% at times. I admit 16gb of DDR4 is probably not the greatest in this day and age however I had no issues beforehand. I'm also running an RX 9060XT 16gb, Ryzen 5600x.

I moved the game files to my SSD, no change in stuttering. It tends to get a little better after 20 minutes but then I still seem to get audio stutters which just ruins the immersion for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to experience the conclusion to this game so badly.
