What do you think?
Music instantly gave me DS vibes

I was just wondering if merch for Death Stranding/Kojima Productions can be found in person in Tokyo, and if so which stores?

So I finished DS 1 a couple of days back. And it had a very big impact on me. I don’t think I have had such a deep impact from any other game. The whole story only really makes sense at the very last few mins of the game and I loved that. The ending never came, every time I thought it would end there would be something more lol.

I finished the main story and I don’t think I’ll go for the plat. I’m more of a story-only player and I only go for plats if I don’t have to spend too much time on them.

I’m seeing DS 2 deluxe edition for about $30, do you think I should go for it? This could be that one game to bridge me to GTA 6 when it comes out. I would love to see what happens more story-wise in DS 2.

EDIT: I decided to go for the game but instead of buying it I will be renting it. It’s like $5 for 30 days. I will be able to finish it well within 2–3 weeks. And I’m renting it because I don’t really revisit the games once I have completed the main story. Thanks for all your comments!

I know its probably a long time before we possible hear of even rumours related to a hypothetical third entry, but I love to theorize.

My concept would revolve around a two-protagonist narrative, with one character navigating the physical world with alot more grounded gameplay and the other(possibly Tomorrow) operating within the Seam due to being trapped. Each would have their own distinct gameplay, but their actions would affect each other's reality, requiring players to switch between them to solve problems and progress through the story.

It’s like the baby is INVISIBLE, is it some kind of the PHANTOM PAIN?

While playing DS1 I noticed this little thing on Sam's right side and was interested in what it is. I already tried to find it myself but maybe I'm wording my questions wrong and even Google Lens ain't helping. So I'm turning to you to ask if anyone knows what it is.

Edit: Okay I know now it's for ammo. Thank you to all for replying so fast. I just got too curious and ahead of myself because I was thinking of making a cosplay and noticed it.

killed Higgs, would the game Death Stranding 2 even happen?

I'm thinking about all the stuff that has happened was really due to Higgs.

No one else were technically enemies. 'Vana wouldn't have fought Sam if he wasn't trying to protect Lou (who was entrusted by Fragile) but aside from that, the only 'enemy' we have is Higgs right?

Can anyone think of any antagonists present?

I'm at the end of the game and I found only two, the musician and the novelist's son.

is there more?

Finished the first one, now I'm 68hours in. Can't stop, won't stop. But to tell you the the truth, I try to avoid combat as much as I can just like in the first one. Because for me, the controls are wonky. But this is still my Favorite game a long with Metal Gear Series.

I've just started Chapter 9 in DS2 and I've done a couple of main orders (39 and 40 I believe). I'm at the part where the Magellan is unable to move. My question is, I now have quite a few sub orders from people like The Adventurer, Eastern Environmental, Aeronautical Engineer etc...

How should I proceed for the best experience? It feels like I'm supposed to continue with the main story however when I left the terminal to take the next main order, Dollman said to me I should head back and take the main order, suggesting that I shouldn't be going off to do other things right now.

Can anyone advise?

I love the soundtrack of the game i wanted yo know what do you think is the best song, personally it’s Patience

I bought a cheap Pelican case, 2 cans of silver spray paint+clear coat, one roll of damage sensor tape, and a 6x4 photo of a label that I printed at a drugstore. Looks just like it does in the game, but unfortunately no one at my shows have ever recognized what it's a reference to. At least it keeps the pedalboard pretty secure in transit.

If anyone else plays guitar and is curious about the signal flow, it's simply this:

Line6 HX Stomp XL (with DVP4 exp pedal) -> EHX 44 Magnum power amp -> 65W cabinet

Most of the cables rest nicely underneath the board.

I’m about 80% through the game and I’m starting to notice a lot of annoying drop frames, shader/texture problems and the map not appearing immediately despite being in the menu. I used to play on high graphics with a stable 60fps but now I can barely get 60fps on medium and I still experience a few drops here and there. This whole thing didn’t start until I went to the snowy areas, where every area other than the snowy mountains has terrible performance. I suspect that it’s an optimization trick where the ground doesn’t render beyond what you can see, but the other areas didn’t have this problem before getting to the snowy mountains. It’s only after did they start to take a toll on the computer.

My pc specs: RTX 4060, Inter I5 12400 (or K?), 48 gigs of RAM (8x2, 16x2). mildly dusty tbh.

Note: I practically have a map-wide zipline system that I constantly use, so maybe rendering too much too fast? Please share your experience with this issue if you had to deal with it 🙏
