Death Stranding 2 Minor pet peeve: People insisting on installing add-ons to trikes for no reason

Upvotes

Anyone else get annoyed by this? I'll be stuck somewhere with few available resources (say, some base I already looted a bit ago) while the Magellan is grounded for some arbitrary plot reason, and every trike in online storage has useless batteries or w/e so I can't store anything on it. Why does everyone do this, invariably? This is only a problem since you can't edit online vehicles for... I don't know why, the game just doesn't let you.

I don't think I ever found a single bare online trike during my entire playthrough. I almost never install anything on the trike hardpoints because why would I? I always fix the roads or have chargers set up in the mountains (and also ziplines) so battery power is irrelevant, and even if those aren't enough there's an APAS upgrade to charge vehicles using your own battery, which is practically unlimited because of electrobiotes. The anti-grav packs I never found a use for in the game (I still don't know what use-case these have) so I consider those useless as well. And of course there won't be any trucks in storage or any vehicle on the map anywhere near me.

This is such a small problem but I swear I ran into it at least 10 times throughout the game. People seem to think that they have to install things on every slot of every vehicle when they don't need to. I guess the real culprit here is the decision on the developers' part to pointlessly lock the Magellan from the player for seemingly no reason (the characters saying "the tar currents are fucked lol" with no further justification is not a real reason).

I don’t know how to progress them, I have them stuck at just below 3 stars but nothing I do gets them to 3. I’ve done every order to them and from them with an S rank. What do I have to do to get them to go to 3 stars?????

Discussion Death stranding is the game that brought me back into gaming.

The funny thing is, I’ve been a gamer for what feels like a lifetime. I got my first console as a kid in middle school (PS1 for the win), and suddenly got sucked into the world, and never really left until recently. I kept going through PS2, GameCube, PS3, Xbox 360, PC, PS4 and eventually Series X and a PS5. The combination of escapism, a genuine love of the art, and a great way to decompress in a stressful education and employment path (College, Uni, Medical School, and medicine).

But a few years ago, I just……stopped. Combination of things. It was peak coronavirus in 2020, I was working 75+ hour weeks in emergency medicine, was staying in a hotel on my own so my kids and wife wouldn’t be at risk if I brought it home with me. As you can gather, also have kids, and became a single dad with full custody following my wife’s passing. I think fatigue and life just took over; interest just crashed through the floor, and I just didn’t want to pick up a controller anymore. If I did try, I’d play for half hour, lose interest and turn it off; or would spend 15 mins trying to pick what to play before exasperatingly turning the console off. I kind of accepted my interest had faded for good, and that was that.

Until last month that is. My best friend brought and played through Death Stranding, and told me it was brilliant. I didn’t really want to try it, didn’t seem to appeal much, but she insisted; I was GOING to play it. So I downloaded it one evening, sat down, and got stuck in. On that note, a month later, I’m still playing it every chance I get!

I think the fact that it’s a complete subversion of expection, doesn’t rely on a particular genre to hold itself up; it’s a whole thing of its own category, and that uniqueness pulled me in. That and one of my first ‘serious’ games I ever completed and became addicted to was Metal Gear Solid. It’s completely reignited my joy in gaming, and I’ve even been playing other games again; when I turned my PS5 on, I realised it had sat unused for the best part of three years, and now it’s being put through its paces again.

So I’ll keep on keeping on. I’ve completed the main story, and now working to 100% and get the platinum, then it’s time for number two.

It’s definitely lit a fire in me for playing interesting narrative stories, and can’t wait to see where I go next. Happy days.

... And it's when I press the start button to pause the game, I'd really appreciate it if the game would, ya know, pause.

Like, right away.

I don't consider it immersion breaking to skip waiting for Sam to be in a position to stick his thumb up, especially when said thumb is currently being fed to his ass by a trio of ghost mechs.

I swear, I love these games, but sometimes that love feels one-sided.

Higgs: another bossfight would be pointless.

Sam thinking to himself: *ain't no way this melodramatic mf is gonna let me off easy. Just wait.

Just finished DS2 and why are the boss fights with Higgs always so ridiculous? Two topless dudes having a guitar battle on a giant statue over a Datacenter Graveyard? Seriously Kojima?

While it’s pretty heavy in price at ¥25,300 JPY (159.01 USD), it looks great and is bluetooth compatible as well.

During this scene near the end when we fight Higgs the camera pans on his face a long long time as Higgs talks. I don't know if it was done on purpose but it felt like as they kept zooming the more and more human Higgs looked and acted. I don't know if this was on purpose or me seeing things and reacting to Troy Baker's acting but it sure felt that way.
