      @@mrmcgreg That's not strictly true as we see in the star sequence if you have enough deaths then they can cause enough chirality to cause a void out, that said luckily it's very hard to die enough to cause an actual void out in the game, although I am sure me playing the game for a couple of weeks like some sort of gibbering n00b having died about 1 million times has come close to cause a void out. All joking aside of course PCs can't cause void outs directly only indirectly, NPCS on the other hand...

Sam is the biological son of Cliff Unger, and was the BB Cliff was trying to rescue, which is why Sam has such a major connection to Lou as well as Cliff in his nightmare visions. It was actually Amelie who gave him the gift of repatriation when Sam died as a BB and went to the Beach while Cliff was trying to smuggle him out of the facility.

    I didn't ever think of MULE as an abbreviation. Simple as that: mules like donkeys carrying cargo. It seems to me in any case that Kojima isn't that creative when it comes to names. Sometimes the names are way to literal like Sam Porter Bridges being a porter working for Bridges or Heartman being called after his heart stopping every 21 minutes. Other times the names feel too constructed like Higgs (effect) or Fragile (cargo). I don't know what that guy is smoking but I wanna try it.

    • @atashgallagher5139

      Same thought, and for hearmant the name was given that wasn't his real name, Mama was also an adopted name her real name was lockne, and fragile was the daughter of a shipping company founder, look at the names of coal mine owners in real life and tell me that doesn't make sense.
      Also Hideo Kojima is Japanese and as far as I am aware the game was made in Japan so there may be some mild cultural translation errors or lack of creativity in naming.
      The thought that I kept having when dealing with the MULEs was that scene from men in black when they neuralize the coroner and he ask if that's going to give her brain damage using it on her so many times. Because these MULE camps aren't just getting new members those are the same god damn people every time, and I am powered exoskeleton throwing 120Kg drums of pure steel at their heads, beating them with cases of heavy machinery, electrocuting them, drugging them asleep, running them over with trucks and motorcycles, and not to mention full auto blasting them with rubber bullets in the head, riot shotguns to the face, bola tieng their throats, pushing them off of cliffs, and yet every time they come back good as new.

      It's written in the report that there was once a surgeon operating on a mother who had been declared brain-dead seven months into her pregnancy. She had been placed on life support, but since her blood pressure was decreasing and the fetus was showing signs of bradycardia, the decision was made to operate. The plan was apparently to remove the fetus from the womb and immediately place it in a NICU, where it would receive the necessary care. Prior to this, the surgeon would of course have to cut the umbilical cord. This is the moment that changed everything-the moment the surgeon's hand touched the cord. In that moment they saw a BT for the first time.
      And soon government confirmed that the thing that they saw is an existence that related to humanity extinction, and so they began experiments to avoid extinction from happening but instead they created a voidout because the contact between BT and living being.

Driver getting into contact with grazers never caused a voidout, they just tried to drag him to a catcher. Voidout happened when the huge humanlike BT summoned by Higgs consumed a living being - Igor.

Though it eventually became apparent that the doctor had been referring to BTs, at the time no one could explain the underlying cause of the incident.
      Soon after the government's program got underway, the tragedy of Manhattan occurred."

Having grenades, made of my excrements as the only way to deal with enemies, really? %) DOOMS? MULEs? Chiralium? Walking by foot for 10+ minutes long to loose all my cargo in a river?
    But then... Then it started to uncover. Slowly, but WTFs started to turn into WOOOW(!!!)s.

      To be fair I think that a lot of the advancements were made before the death stranding and the voidouts but after chiralium and the beach were discovered, and also it is fair to say that they were seriously hampered by rampant terrorist attacks.
      Because this isn't like terrorists in real life, any human that dies is a massive nuke with a 48-hour timer on them, and the nihilistic terrorists just need one guy to go into his closet and commit suicide and then in a couple days the whole city is nothing but a tar filled crater.
      or even just wait outside of the city and die under a bush away from roadways and two days later poof, no more city. Just imagine if any nation today without any of the other factors of the apocalypse had to deal with a terrorist organization that could have every member turn their own body into an antimatter warhead, there would be no fighting against that.

(Unless the mountains by the Evo-Devo Biologist are taller. I'm not sure, to be honest, but whatever.) It was always a perilous journey until I built a zip line network for myself, between his place, the Spiritualist, and the Mountaineer.
      Being able to zip between those 3 preppers up on top of that mountain, made all the difference! 😁👌🏼 Good luck, Sam!

    literally stabs himself to die before the BT touches him, is incredibly hard to get outta the head once you see it, he is f-ed and Sam could have grabbed the floating pistol (floating guns?) and helped him.

    • @joshwilliams9922

      The pistol wouldn’t have helped, the two only effective weapons vs bt is hematic ammunition from dooms, most specifically Sam, and chiral( gold) rounds. Standard ammo would only be effective if a hematic weapon such as a hematic Grenades was used as a primer, and at that part of the game, the hematic tech was not developed until much later, conclusion is, Sam could do nothing to help Igor.

    2. BTs cause voidouts only when they consume living humans so no, not all dead bodies cause void outs. A BT will come, and be One Hungry Boi and search for living people.
    3. Die Hardman is a normal human, nothing special. He got that name from his time in the war.
    4. Dooms doesnt make Sam's fluids harmful to BTs, it's his Magic Revive Skill. It says this within like, the first 2? Hours of the game. This is why it's important to know diehardman is a normal person. Plus if it was just dooms, they wouldn't depend on Sam to donate blood.

  • @ntutino1980
    @ntutino1980 4 года назад +1

    Is there any reason to play this game after you finish the main story? What will come of this game in a year or two when there’s no one playing the game hypothetically and there are no shared structures? I don’t really think the connections to other player’s structures are as they appear. I do love this game but I think the game is misleading about how close the worlds are shared. Some of it might be artificial connections or strands and all that. I could be wrong but it seems to good to be true. I am very impressed with the concept as a whole and the lore, the story and all that is very revolutionary. I hope more games are made like this

    • @atashgallagher5139
      @atashgallagher5139 2 года назад +1

      Well, that was what I was worried about but it is not nearly as bad as it seems. Your game world will only have around twenty or thirty maybe forty or fifty people with connections and the bulk of those won't have their structures show up and even then a lot of the structures you build don't show up for the other person you are connected to, it's only a percentage.
      Now what that means is that as the number of people playing decreases the number of different bubbles of players will decrease but for the person playing the experience will remain the same. Your game will play the same as any other as long as just thirty or so people are playing too. If the game had millions of sales and most of those people playing at release then there would be tens of thousands of groupings, it won't be an issue until there are so few players that you aren't seeing more than thirty people playing the game actively, and not even at the same time, the connected worlds are fairly often people from the other side of the planet and you see the structures change when you turn the game on the next day.
