Who else wishes there was more combat in Death Stranding? 😅👇
"The stick is the first tool that mankind created to put distance between himself and bad things - to protect himself," Kojima said.
"The second tool mankind created is a rope. A rope is a tool used to secure things that are important to you.”
"Most of your tools in action games are sticks. You punch or you shoot or you kick. The communication is always through these sticks," Kojima continued.
"I want people to be connected not through sticks, but through what would be the equivalent of ropes."
Man had a deliberate agenda with the combat
@@lohs117 oh wow, yes the most basic tools but also the least practical i guess. Well maybe IRL but not in game. guess he tried to really carry thru that realism aspect. Plus it looks like Sam got no fighting skills. he just a regular joe
@@babyoli there’s more to it than that - the gameplay has enhanced multiplayer features where players’ actions can influence each others’ game worlds, as per his rope metaphor. The more people playing band together to achieve a certain goal, the great the in game effect will be
There is stealth and combat in the game, and many options to approach both, and tactical factors to consider before engaging in them.
However, it is a slow paced game, especially the first 10 hours or so in the "tutorial area". Horror? No. Stress, tension, and being scared? Yes.
Also being scared for reasons you can't imagine yet. You'll constantly choose between weight and what items to carry, what route to traverse and so on.
The game walks you through two mysteries to "solve"; one that is hard to figure out until the reveals, and one that is far easier and still kicks hard.
Then there is a third mystery that no player will even discover during a single playthrough. Cryptic? Oh you have no idea. Kafkaesque to the extreme.
If you can endure slow paced games and just play it for the chills, I *HIGHLY* recommend this game. I'm only obsessed with Death Stranding and Outer Wilds.
And if you do, see it all the way through. Or even beyond the end. The story - stories - will blow your socks off. Very unique game in all respects.
If being negative about it, you could call it a delivery/traversal simulator with steal and combat elements. But not a walking simulator as genre is already taken.
And do have popcorn ready. The cutscenes are nuts long - and contains tons of clues so pay attention - with the ending being like a two hour long movie.
Several I've watched (40+ let's plays, yeah I'm obsessed) describe it as "not a game of the year, but a game of the decade, and an experience of a lifetime".
If this is on a "I don't know yet", I recommend watching yongyea's spoiler free review of it.
Story spoiler free, but some "emotional spoilers", can be provided by Mike Mohamed thoughts on the game after the ending. Watch at own risk.
Just to name a few: I've played through Monster Hunter 3u, Monster Hunter 4U, Monster Hunter Generations, Monster Hunter World + Iceborne. I've also played through Demon's Souls Remake, Dark Souls 1/2/3, Bloodborne, Sekiro (4 times), Elden Ring. All games that are based around combat with deep combat systems. As far as shooters go: I used to play a lot of Counter Strike 1.6/Source Battlefield 3 online and in Battlefield 4, at one point, managed to get into the worldwide top 10% of players with the most knife kills.
Yet, Death Stranding is a great game. I understand it won't hit the same for everyone but for me: the score, the soundtrack, the voice acting, the mocap, and yes, even the gameplay is amazing. Never before have I wanted to unite a broken nation with a postal network until this game.
At the end of it, like The Last of Us 2, like Outer Wilds, like Cyberpunk 2077, it's definitely a game that has stayed with me after the credits rolled.
RIP Ryan Karazija. Low roar’s lead singer for these songs. Discovered them with this game, one of my new favorites. Died of pneumonia post release.
As a huge fan of Death Stranding, here are my thoughts: I absolutely love this game, but it's obviously not for everyone and that's fine. It's got a very specific vibe, and I found the gameplay loop incredibly relaxing (there's a unique sense of isolation and cosiness about walking around the beautiful environments), satisfying (building up your own network of roads and tools, with the anonymous help of other players, to expedite the delivery process) and occasionally tense as hell (sneaking through BT-infested ruins, stealing supplies from enemy camps, full-on battles against shades of the dead).
I've got hundreds of hours in this game, and I'd happily spend hundreds more if I hadn't already done literally everything there is to do, so I can't wait for the sequel. The criticism of it being too slow-paced doesn't mean much to me tbh: it was never advertised as an action-heavy game, yet some people seemingly still went into it expecting it to be something it wasn't. The way I see it, I'd rather play something unique like this than another mindless action shooter.
In terms of the story, if you actually put some time and thought into understanding it, it's really not that complicated; it's veiled in vague and confusing imagery, but that's the point. By the time the credits roll, everything becomes clear. The characters are all great too, either despite or because of their occasional goofiness depending on your taste. Personally, I've played enough Kojima to get what he was going for. In amidst the wackiness, all of the characters have a huge amount of heart if you're willing to play the game without cynicism and with an open mind, and I found myself in full-on tears multiple times throughout.
I admire that you're willing to admit if this doesn't appeal to you - I wish some people would have a similar level of self-awareness instead of crapping on the game for not being what they wanted it to be, or dismissing it as "walking simulator" when there's so much more to it than that. But whatever to each their own; I'm not saying it's for everyone, and it's definitely not perfect, but I unapologetically love it.
Thanks for the video :)
Aw thanks for watching Jordan! 🤗deep thoughts into the game... i heard most kojima games usually "wrap up" at the end so makes sense that nothing makes sense until then 😂 yeah i think i'm just used too much to fighting or some sort of combat. Although i saw a bit in the trailers i think kojima focused more on the story. i think some hate/love it for sure... glad to hear another perspective of someone who loves it.
Girl I am absolutely mortified that your only prior exposure to Mads Mikkelsen was goddamn Harry Potter (Fantastic Beasts doesnt even have Harry Potter) I hope you check out his more prolific appearances like Hannibal and Casino Royale. I'd also put forth more artistic hits like Another Round or Arctic. Kojima was so pumped to have those big names in his cast, and spent some good time with Mads too, it was the coolest thing.
Anyway think you missed the 2017 TGA trailer in there, think it helps to bridge the 2016 and later 2017 trailers' tones
LOL yeah my preferred genre of movies are usually comedy. Oh and Twilight for some reason (slight obsession with romance X vampires 😅) I definitely do not know his name until you've posted it. I've watched Hannibal like 20X years ago. I def need to brush up on my pop culture
@@babyoli ngl he could explore comedy more but he’s best in his menacing or badass roles. Also we talkin 2013 Hannibal the series, not the Anthony Hopkins movies yeah
Sometimes when i want to relax I just play delivering everything I can and reparing the road and upgrades, for me is just relaxing
can't fully comprehend the plot even after finishing it.
this might be spoliery but near the end player is given a gun and to "do something", that was a really great interactive scene.
🫢 oh wait did they leave it as a cliffhanger or they actually showed it?
They didn't leave the game as a cliffhanger, the story has a nice ending, but the themes and events of the game are very convoluted and many people didn't do alot of research after finishing the game. There are things still unexplained but hey a new one is coming out soon. @@babyoli
From someone who's poured literally 250+ hours into this beautiful game. There is a decent amount of combat in the game although that wasn't the focus overall and I'm actually okay with that. From the engaging world and traversing it, the story itself, it's beautifully placed music, and the various obstacles in your way you couldn't help but be connected to the world of Death Stranding. Another awesome feature centered around connection was when you created something in your gameplay from vehicles, ziplines, and weapons. Other players in their own game could use what you've built and in return give you likes and vice versa. Something about that positive loop is just addicting honestly. You did a good job trying to piece together what this game is about which probably would have Hideo Kojima sweating nervously back when this game was being advertised lol. Gotta respect that from what you've observed that it may not be something to engage in and play. Hell as you've mentioned in this video this game has no middle ground you're either interested or not. Also give you props that you didn't just crap on the game like so many others who haven't even played it because it was the band wagoning thing to do (which ironically many other those haters ended up playing it later on just to say they loved it A LOT). With that being said I truly do hope you'll change your mind one day and say F it and give it a shot (one day). IMO with what was going on with him being let go from CrapNami and having to rebuild his own studio along with Covid was a thing. He created Death Stranding with the themes of connection between people, isolation, life, and death. This game is more fun to experience than to watch and with DS2 being worked on. Hideo said that DS2 will question if we should have connected at all which will be intriguing to see him tackle. All in all really enjoyed your Death Stranding guessing vid- props 🤙
Tl; dr : really loved your guesses you actually nailed some stuff from the info given. You have a really good Eagle eye for this stuff. 😅
omg hahaha thank you for the kinds world Ultima! 😇 Yeah it's either a love/hate game. I think I like more combat tbh but I didn't know that you could "interact" with the other players in the game. kinda reminds me of elden ring where... well you can see where characters died haha i guess you can't really play with what they built. Pretty cool though, would have never guessed it.
MAYBE I'll try it, it's definitely at the back of the roster. The glory of these video series is that i get interested in games I was never interested in before. But thanks for watching 😭 means the world 💛
@@babyoli Looking forward to more guess oli 💪😤
Kojima wrote that Death Stranding meant: "trying to connect one character to another, or to connect life and death." So you're 5% correct
nice lmao 5%... probably my highest rating so far. A++ for me! 😂
I couldn't even guess the plot while playing the game
😂😂 u poor thing. did u beat it? and did u comprehend?
@babyoli you don't understand what game is really about till like literally the last 30 minutes lol
I'm actually quite impressed on what you guessed right given that these trailers were mostly cryptic lol (I won't say what you got right just in case you DO decide to play it for yourself).
As far as the gameplay is concerned, you're correct that it's not a fast paced action game - and I'm glad you picked up on that because I feel like a lot of people that were disappointed in this game had the wrong expectations. It has it's moments when it comes to action, but the game has a very deliberate goal on bringing people together since everyone is essentially isolated from one another, so it wouldn't make sense for it to be heavy on the combat.
It's still VERY worth playing imo - a very imaginative, engaging, and original story, and more fun than you would think despite it being slow paced.
heheh thanks for the kind words Marlin, I actually thought I did pretty terrible 😂 is it like heavy rain or firewatch? I liked those games. maybe i'll give it more credit than i've given it. Did kojima wrap it up at the end?
@@babyoli I've not played Firewatch but I wouldn't say it plays like Heavy Rain because that's more of a choice-based game that changes outcomes as you go. The thing about Death Stranding is it's so hard to compare it to anything else because it's SO different lol. Kojima really created a world not like anything that I had never experienced before in any medium. And yes, he actually did a great job of tying loose ends by the end of the game :)
You miss a lot of dialogue in the trailers when you talk over them.
I would highly recommend watching the "Death Stranding Movie" (All cutscenes in one) as maybe a series so you know the full story, but actually playing the game makes you feel Sam's struggle and it's pretty unforgiving.
Hehh thanks for watching Vinal 🤗 did they ever explain what happened to his wife?Did she turn into a strand or is that pending for Death Stranding 2?
@@babyoli didn't notice you responded to this lmao but, his wife hasn't been explained. I don't want to ruin anything just incase you do play through it.
The music is superb in these trailers! Honestly a masterpiece.
yeah! they match really well, don't know any of the songs but 😂
I see you only noticed the died whales when his rear end went out of view 😆, we need eye tracker software for this one 🤣
god damnit mangaming. u caught me 👀 hahahah
I played the game and I still don't get it, maybe I was too low IQ too get it.
hahahah NO WAY Black. you're too clever I'll defend ya. No it sounds like a perpetual problem for most Death Stranding gamers... ur not alone
Oh lord, if you haven’t played mgs or understand enough; then this will be a trip!!
LOL! yes trip it was, TBH MGS seemed more coherent. this one was a douzie....
@@babyoli the only reason it’s more coherent is due to how they show cased games/movies back then, and how they show more than they should; but also there is a lot that you don’t understand. Like I’m going to give you a slight spoiler, the snake you see in snake eater is the dad to the mgs/mgs2/mgs4 snake; and there is a snake that isn’t the same to those snakes that all play roles to into the other snakes that snake fights.
did u even watch the trailer. your eyes were covered throughout the entire thing
yessir!
"he must get paid a million dollars" well.... no, but I got a lot of likes tho :)
Can you please review mortal kombat it was just announced a few weeks ago.
oh u read my mind 😇 stay tuned for saturday hehehe
As soon as I saw the notification "Trying to guess the DS plot", it put up a smile on my face. Rn am 89hrs into the game and still dunno shit about wtf is happening lol. Currently am in 2nd chapter and there are 12 more to go as far as ik. Ready to sink in tons of hrs if you gonna play it. I wud say it's the new school Skyrim. If you like it you'll love it otherwise you'll drop it prob after playing for 3,4 hrs.
LMAO "stil dont know wtf is happening" yes I've read that quite a bit 😂 This is definitely THE HARDEST game i tried to decipher. Failed miserably, but thanks for sharing your hands on experience. makes me feel a bit better... a bit
Jeeezus 89 hrs and only 2nd chapter? You're in for a treat. Gets really intense later on. Easily one of my favourite games
@@ixios4624 Sorry I'm in "Fragile" chapter. Ig that's 3rd. Still way to go. Thx for the head up. I can tell it gets interesting as it starts to make much sense now. I'm in love with the world I never though walking in a game wud be this fun lol.
Have you played Herizon Zero? That has a lot of Death Stranding easter eggs.
No i have not! Definitely will check it out, I know of it. It's just one of those games....... but knowing me i'd look past all of the easter eggs 😂 my eyes in gaming only look for loot. true story
Seemed like a cool story and great graphics, but yet.....I had to put it down eventually, didn't keep me wrapped in enough
almost instantly it was put away... into the dark history of the game collection.
Yeah, I liked the game, but the trailers...I got nothing.
you need to read between the lines. because i guarantee u wont find a thing 😂
@@babyoli Wouldn't be a Kojima trailer. I still liked the game's story, it's just really hard to get anything out of these trailers other than wth 🤣
This game is quite unique and weird does have a horror tone a times but also action and very interesting and philosophical question and views haha but it’s also understandable that some people like it and also hate it as well
Everytime I finished a delivery i would play the song pop virus and ghost just to listen to and relax
You were close on the second trailer but the actor Mads Mikkelsen plays a character who is looking for you but your sorta stuck in a timeline loop you have to get out of there fun boss fight
Sam has a phobia aphenphosmphobia that’s why you see those handprints on him and the handcuff is like a communication device and you’re map
It’s set in the USA post apocalyptic world
The guys in yellow are called mules that like to steal other people packages
The poem you got right in a way yes and no if you don’t take the body away it will cause a big bang
You are right about the objective of the game what’s cool about that the more you help the people and connect with them the more they help you
It’s understandable not everyone found it interesting but I was curious and enjoyed it for what it is
whoo u give me too much credit wolf, what % right did i get? oh didn't know that meant aphenphosmphobia, had to google that. tell me more about homodemons!
The homo demens mean mad man in the world of death stranding they are terriorist that have there own city as well that you need to go it’s very tricky to get too and they nuked a city’s
They go back to the group Bridges and the UCA the Sam(main character) is working with they wanted answers about what they working on which is the BB the pod baby while something happens which cause them to leave the UCA and Bridges till they met with a group a girl called fragile the main antagonist Higgs developed a hatred and a psychotic to the UCA and Bridges trying to rebuild the world Higgs betray fragile and nuked a city he was going to nuke a third one but fragile stopped him
You got about 25 % percent right haha it’s a lot complicated like metal gear Haha
Ok based on what I know, and seeing many play this one as I enjoy kogima’s games; but this is one I can’t see myself playing. Although I might just buy it just for memories, and maybe if I have the time to play it; then I’ll play it. Based on what I know, and people playing it. You got a pretty similar score to mgs, but much lower. It’s 9%, but mgs is better explanation. Once you play it; and stranding is one I feel you’ll only get from watching someone stream/play it or play it yourself.
LOL! 9%... i'll take it 😂 anything above 5% is a win for me. i think it's just generally too slow paced for me but i guess cuz i'm not playing into the story i can't resonate much with it. i'll save my limited gaming time for some Destiny 😂 jking (not joking)
Got this for free on Epic game store a while back. Haven’t played much of it, but looks trippy lol.
trippy is the right word to describe this thing. Interested to know if you understand it when you beat it 😇
@@babyoli It might be a while before I get to it lol. Still working on Wild Arms 3 and Tears of the Kingdom haha
... Just give up, it's a Kojima plot, no-one can understand it. I'm pretty sure Kojima doesn't even know.
The biggest highlight of this game is the protags bare ass in the shower... You know, if you're into that.
u got me... it is my kind of thing. 😂 yeah i failed at this one SAFTI! 😩
Bring your kid to work day the game
hahahahah best comment ever
You should play the Final Fantasy XVI Demo
I DID the first day it came out! it was magical and i can't stop thinking about it. i want more
19:19 I wish i could clip your expression
clip away. not the prettiest facial expression 😂
No comment on this game 🫠
why not?!? 😂 plz share your thoughts sir
Death Stranding, if only looking at it as a video game, is honestly quite terrible. However, it is absolutely one of my favorite pieces of interactive media in the last decade. It's overarching theme of human connections and its importance to society is so magnificently woven into the narrative and game atmosphere that it made the clumsy walking and shitty boss battles tolerable. I love Death Stranding so much, but not because it's a good game.
hahahaha this is an interestng perspective. I take the story was able to connect with u somehow. I dont know if i can relate on any game... usually if i'm disinterested it goes into the abyss of my closet. never to be seen again. Like Anthem 🙃
Hiking simulator... that's all u need to know.
6:30 Probably Red Tide
I don't get the purpose of buying games and not playing them, but whatever.
hiking simulator 😂😂😂 best comment. i have lots of games donated to me, since i'm a collector. I usually dont go out of my way to purchase games that don't have a meaningful place in my heart but they are still somehow in my collection. Got lots of rare games that way! this is just... one of them... unfortunately 😂
Ahahahaha
hohohoho
@@babyoli Okay, Bugenhagen.
@@kk_2753 starred comment right here
You should probably stop analyzing games and play them the reactions will be funnier 🥱
am i really that boring 😩 it could just be the game itself hahaha pls check out some other videos! it might change your opinion 😉
