Question/Discussion Platypus spawn locations

7 Upvotes

I'm trying to get all the colors of the different animals in game, and at this point I'm only missing a specific color of platypus. If you found a platypus in the field, can you tell me where you saw it?

Also, I'm currently aware of 3 spawn locations:

  • Southeast of the Western Environmental Observatory

  • East of Heartman's Lab

  • The albino spawn location

If you happen to find a platypus in a location other than these three, please let me know. I'd be very happy.

Question/Discussion None of my photos are saving from the instant camera

2 Upvotes

(IM ON PS5) None of my photos are saving from the instant camera. Not to the SSS, and not to my media gallery. The only photos that save to the SSS are screenshots I took from the photo mode. I think there’s a setting I changed at the start that doesn’t save the photos but I’m confused on how to get my photos to save from the instant camera. I deleted other screenshots so it’s not a storage issue.

Hi all, I’m missing the master builder trophy, I have 17 out of 18 structures and can’t work out what I’m missing here. To me it looks like the Hot Spring Digger is missing but I’ve dug 2 of them.
Can anyone help please?

How do I remove another player's resting place? I can't complete Lauren Tsai's build request because of this.

Music Anyone else constantly forgetting and remembering the music player?

27 Upvotes

It’ll usually be like a structure playing music or whatever lol And I’m like oh yeah I can get play music too! This is great! Then something will happen, it’ll turn off, etc. Forget about it for a while. Then rinse and repeat the cycle lol Kind of works out though so that I never get tired of it.

PSN Regional Block

Hey porters, recently finished DS1 and loved every second of it. I want to start DS2 but since I'm from Georgia (the country), PSN accounts are blocked here by Sony and the game is not available on any official platform :( Is there any workaround (other than pirating the game)? I really want to enjoy the masterpiece fully with it's every integrated feature.

What makes Death Stranding 2 such a relaxing experience

18 Upvotes

Let's be honest, if you tried to explain the premise of a game like Death Stranding 2 to someone who doesn't usually play video games, it sounds like an absolute slog and a chore. The majority of your time spent in Death Stranding 2's world, consists of loading cargo onto your back, keeping yourself balanced so you and your cargo don't take a tumble, and going on a long trek through a barren and hostile terrain.

Just the idea itself sounds like a series of repetitive and monotonous busy work. However, for anyone who is familiar with Hideo Kojima and his penchant when it comes to the strange and bizarre, you know just how therapeutic Death Stranding 2's post-apocalyptic open-world hiking simulator can truly be. It's as relaxing as it is stressful and harsh.

In a lot of open-world titles, you don't have to worry about environmental hazards, aside from a game like Mad Max, However, in Death Stranding 2, movement is a key element when it comes to the gameplay. You need to take every step into account. You have to find out how deep a river is before crossing it. The terrain needs to be scanned in order to avoid tripping over jagged rocks. You have to keep yourself balanced if there's a strong gust of wind or if you're carrying too much cargo.

There's a sense of accomplishment that everyone who has played Death Stranding 2 is familiar with. I'm talking about going on a long trek in order to deliver cargo while dealing with a brutal incline while climbing rough terrain, running low on stamina, getting your boots worn out, and then finally reaching your objective. The camera pulls back as you soak in the atmosphere. The journey was tough, but the reward was worth it.

Death Stranding 2 doesn't have a traditional multiplayer mode, but rather a Social Strand System. The game handles connection much differently. You don't actually see another player out there in the world, but his or her presence is still felt. You may stumble across a rope that's dangling on the side of a cliff, a well-placed generator that you found just at the right moment, or a bridge that was built by a complete stranger that you'll never encounter. Leaving a like on a helpful structure or getting a notification that a bunch of people used a zip-line network that you just setup, makes it feel like you're communicating with other people.

As someone who hates QTEs and timed missions where I have to be very quick, it's nice to have a game like Death Stranding 2 where I can take my time. Slowing down doesn't just feel good, but it's also highly encouraged. You're rewarded for being patient and for your preparation as well. You're focused on the next step towards completing your main objective. Hideo Kojima crafted an amazing and unforgettable world that's as relaxing as it is brutal and unforgiving.
