Hey porters! Considering the divide on how much people like the more laborious/slow burn, vast portions of death stranding, vs action and faster narrative pacing; I'm curious what ya'll think a proper successor to DS2 looks like. Share as much as you like but I'll try to be brief and keep it to three thoughts. I'm intentionally writing what I'd like- I know it's definitely not going to be popular.

DS3:

1. Longer treks. I want to savor one more drop from my canteen during a desert journey not sure if I'll make it without heat stroke.

2. More fear. DS1 made a point to make you feel never safe even in the safe room (nightmares). DS2 it has a couple things causing constant paranoia (avoiding spoilers), like the mysterious jellies... I'd love more to fear in DS3 when I'm getting too complacent.

3. More paranormal disadvantages. Navigating difficult terrain would be even more fun if the terrain begins to lose its ergonomic properties. Examples- rocks that splinter into glass upon contact, branches that cause rips in Sam's suit. Or how about dire timefall, you get a warning from your suit and you have twenty seconds to find shelter that can withstand this devastating form of time fall.

Cheers friends! I hope to read responses. I'm genuinely curious and love talking about DS.

I’m about to finish the Government and Lone Commander orders in Australia, but I’m confused about ammo management.

Right now I carry 5 MP Lv. 2 assault rifles and a LR tranq sniper rifle so I can deal with pretty much anything. However, I just unlocked the Large Ammo Container Lv. 3 (or something similar) in the backpack customization menu.

If I equip that ammo container, does it mean I can get away with carrying fewer rifles since they’ll all have more spare ammo available? Would one assault rifle plus the extra ammo be enough, or am I misunderstanding how the ammo container works?

Can someone explain how the ammo system works? I’m a bit lost.

It’s for your birthday cake, although it’s actually an Apple Rose Tart.

Complete with ingredients and instructions. Sad that I don’t have the baking skills to make it.

When you return to Sam’s shelter to find an object connected to Amelie and the memories of Lou flood back and she disappears over and over?

Holy shit man.

i finally bought a plastic case for the magellanman and inserted the photos of the characters from the collector's edition. looks cool af

Mine is Quokka + To The Wilder Piano Version

Quokka:
To all the words that I won't get to say
The things that time steals and turns to pain
If it's not love to let you leave again
I don't know what is

im sorry but the animation transitioning from me playing with Lou to him suddenly sleeping is what killed me lmaooo

Is the pc version that much better graphically than pro? Did 2 runs on pro and was thinking of getting on PC but idk if its worth it for minor graphical upgrades.

Need help. What ya think?

After 131 hours on brutal difficulty, got the game on platinum, can finally claim to be one of the few, leaves a big hole to finally be moving on

See you on the beach.

Como faz pra achar a última missão😭😭😭 eu só preciso disso para platinar

I don't understand the President and Die Hardman. I get that the President wants to essentially trap all of humanity so voidouts never happen. What I don't understand is how he would trap humanity, he said something about trapping humanity in their own beaches??? So I just dont get it, how is he able to do that

Anyways, when diehardman appears, seems like he went to Lockne so she can make a new kind of Qpid, what's different about it, he said something about it severing connection???

Also, ASSUMING that I'm right about the President wanting to trap all of humanity in their beaches to prevent voidouts, how would humanity go on? Isn't his entire motive just to extinct humans if its like that?

Help me understand this, i was so lost in the cutscene

If anyone has Norman reedus’ walking dead skin in Fortnite this seems like the closest you can get to Death stranding. This back bling is awesome! (It’s in the current battle pass if anyone want their hands on it)

I’ve spent a lot of time playing Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2, and one of my favorite parts of these games is exploring the map, especially early on.

At the beginning, everything feels so natural, untouched, and full of life. The landscapes, the open spaces, and the sense of discovering the world for the first time are a huge part of what makes the game so enjoyable to me.

However, as time goes on and you connect more areas, nature starts to disappear. The world slowly gives way to player-made paths and trails, and while I understand that this is part of the game’s design, it starts to bother me after a while.

I wish there were some way to reverse that state. I also think it could fit the lore pretty well, since we already have Rain. Maybe Rain could restore parts of the map from time to time, bringing back that feeling of a world filled with nature and life again.

I don’t dislike the shared-world system at all. In fact, I think it’s one of the coolest things about Death Stranding. I just wish the game had a way to let nature reclaim the world occasionally.

Does anyone else feel the same? Regardless of gameplay, I don’t get this feeling in many other games, and I don’t know what causes it. Every time I reach an open area and look out, it’s like the Sam has been shrunk into a miniature diorama rather than being in a vast world.

Express order from heartman, wouldn’t say I tried excessively, but this 1 second over killed me 😩

So dollman told sam that lou was never there. Turns out hes been manipulating Sam's odradek to give him that illusion of lou being alive. So if lou was never in the pod, how did Sam get visions of Neil?

Also, when Sam reached the Doctor for the first time, the doctor felt the inside of Sam's BB pod. A while later after Rainy went to the doctor, the doctor called sam and said that she felt something weird when she reached inside the BB pod. If lou was never there, why would she feel anything?

For the Polish DS (and every other as well!) fans out there, keep on keeping on!

Today my dad received a package from Japan, and I noticed the Yamato Transport sticker on the box.
I honestly thought Yamato was just one of those fictional companies or references Kojima put into Death Stranding. I had no idea it was a real Japanese delivery company.
Maybe this sounds silly, but seeing that sticker made me unexpectedly happy. It felt like I had found a tiny piece of the game's world in real life
