@tru_spartan_1174 years agoAfter recently finishing the game, the metaphors and narrative swell... the idea of learning to better connect with people, to appreciate the little contributions they make everyday to have someone's life be just a bit easier was beautiful. The game made me rethink a lot about how I communicate and reach people in my life. It is rare a video game, let alone a piece of art, can do that. ...579

@Loveless94412 years agoI'm about 10-20 hours into Death Stranding and I'm obsessed with it. I've never played anything like it. On the surface it seems kind of boring but it's actually calming and exciting and interesting all at once. Breath of the Wild is my favorite game of all time and there are some aspects of this game that actually remind me of it - it's like they hyperfocused on just the terrain and navigation and eliminated a lot of noise to just get to a level of realism and detail on just one thing. ...227

@maxatifi4762last yearOne of the most unique games I’ve ever played. I was so strangely obsessed with it and finished playin it a few months ago with over 70+ hours on it. Really looking forward to replaying it again in the future one day. It’s not a game for everyone, if you expecting something that will make you feel like some superhero and expect some crazy action like a lot of games, this is not it. For someone who plays call of duty everyday, I really enjoyed this game. It was like therapy from all the usual shi I see in video games. I loved the music, the great characters, and the crazy story. It was also beautiful and was just overall very unique. As I see someone described in the comments that the game is calming, exciting, and interesting all at once. Can’t wait for DS2, and other games from Kojima. ...24

It may not be extremely useful but I still feel a slight since of accomplishment for doing it ...25

Even if you don’t enjoy it you MUST appreciate it for the originally and give it points for doing something no other game has attempted much less accomplished. Please support original games. support of games that break free of the mold will inspire other game developers to take bigger risks and actually offer us new and original games. ...6

Shoot at enemy anywhere (large hit box), curb stomp, profit. 2nd you can grab the cargo mules carry when you punch them out. You can use it to OHK (or throw) at next enemy, repeat and profit. It's actually lotta fun. (Especially if you catch enemy cargo before it hits the ground) ...4
