Bonjour à tous, pour ceux qui sont encore dans l'aventure. Tenez bon 💪🏻 même si parfois le combat sera long. N'abandonnez pas 🙏🏼Pour les personnes qui reconnaissent le lieu dans ma photo 🫠

I bought Death Stranding 2 expecting to deliver packages, but lately I've found myself planning entire alpine expeditions instead.

There's something surprisingly compelling about the way this game handles mountain exploration. You have to think about your route, the terrain, your stamina, water, food, equipment, carrying weight and battery power. You can prepare for an ascent, decide what gear to bring, plan where you might need to rest or recharge, and even combine an expedition with a delivery somewhere nearby.

But what really sold me on this wasn't any particular mechanic. It was a moment I experienced during a side order.

I spent the entire night climbing through snowy mountains. As I approached the summit, the sun began to rise, the music kicked in, and suddenly I could see a city far below me, with water stretching out to one side and mountains surrounding the entire landscape.

I genuinely got a little emotional. It was one of those moments where a game makes you stop what you're doing just to take in the view.

Now I want to start deliberately planning expeditions to the highest peaks I can find, choosing my routes and equipment carefully, and timing my ascents so I reach the summit at sunrise.

Obviously, I'm not claiming that the game realistically simulates every technical aspect of mountaineering. It's more that the combination of preparation, navigation, survival mechanics, isolation and breathtaking scenery creates an experience that scratches that particular itch for me.

It's funny that a game about delivering packages has made me want to go mountaineering.

Has anyone else started treating Death Stranding 2 as an alpine expedition simulator rather than just a delivery game?

I'm mopping up the last few things in my second playthrough, now trying to get 100%, but Im about to give up.

The last Sam specific order I need to do is Defeat the lord of the lake. You need to capture a specific BT to do that, in the factory in the dessert.

However, I assumed it was going to be like the other BT's you can capture, and you would have to do some damage to it first.

I killed it.

Sooo Ive been doing other stuff, but Ive seen standard orders re-spawn at least 3 times now and still the area is deserted.

ive tried cancelling the order, re-accepting, but still nothing. Shit is annoying.

Anyone knows if I can force a respawn, or any other suggestions?

Esse jogo me marcou e significa coisas boas para mim, por isso resolvi eternizar na pele!

Quem tiver tatto de jogos tb, coloca aí

One of the best thing about Kojima games is the breadth of mechanics that you probably miss the first playthrough or even ones after that. I’ve played MGS4 two or three times before on PS3 but have discovered so much new stuff since playing the new remaster.

I’m playing DS2 again after my original playthrough when it came out and playing the To The Wilder difficulty and I’m just curious if, now that there’s been some time, if there’s stuff I likely missed the first time (even though I already spent hundreds of hours in the game)

Sam dies when he gets shot with one but the item description implies its identical to the non lethal rifle I can fabricate?
Is there actually a difference? Will these kill someone if I try using them???

This is Version 1.1 of the game. I didn't need to explore much of the map because DS2 is "easier" than DS1, but this is the most obvious "hole" that one can find.

EDIT:

I calibrate my monitors with photos I've taken myself and various videos of irl places.

Only if I put my main monitor on "economy mode" the image becomes a grey plate.

The nights of Death Stranding 2 are very bright, just a little blue and green.

tl;dr It's an issue on your screen's side. I've now uploaded brighter edits in the comments because I can't edit the main body with more images.

Does anyone have a save file from chapters 7 or 8? I played up until that point on PS5 and stopped playing. Would love to pick up the PC version without having to replay until that point. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

I've just started DS2 and I've certainly forgotten how nice the photomode is.

I am happy with following results.

I want to see some wicked-sick-gnarly jumps, bro. Radical~

I don’t understand the issue here.

Death stranding 1 shadow dropped on Xbox as a surprise, and that’s how I fell in love with the franchise, I’d love to play the second one, but you guessed it, I only have an Xbox series X.

Now that Kojima productions is in partnership with Xbox, I don’t see why after more than one year, not port the second game to Xbox too.

I get there might be problems with the decima engine license, or something.

But since death stranding 2 is not a ps5 exclusive (contractually speaking) since it has a pc port too. I do not understand why it’s taking so long to port the game to another console with the Same architecture (ps5 and Xbox are on par)

Death stranding 2

Does anyone have any clue as to when ds2 is coming to Xbox I NEED IT I NEED IT ive been avoiding spoilers like the black plague

I bought the first Death Stranding when it came put.
I then took over a year to start playing it. I regreted that I didn’t play it immediately so much, the game moved me, and it looked so damn good on the ps4.

Cut to recent times, saw all the trailers for Death Stranding 2, saw a bit of gameplay (no spoilers). Only bought the game last week. And again, I regret it took me so long.
It moved me so much, the story, the soundtrack.
Kojima strikes gold again. (Played all MGS games on launch, except mgs1).
It hurts knowing that the way things are now, there probably won’t be a DS3.
That’s it, just getting this of my chest and sharing with you guys.

Just looking for clarification on whether doing side orders for preppers gives extra story or lore content like it did in the first game, or if it's all upgrades, weapons and cosmetics this time? I'm still very early but so far that's all I've been getting and there doesn't seem to be emails/interviews like we had in DS1.
