For sure. I'm grateful for what we got and that the game exists at all but it's cool to know that the game has good enough bones that things could be naturally expounded upon if it comes down to it

For ziplines, what is the largest angle you can put them on? I tried making one from roboticist to weather station, but it looks like it wouldn't connect. Is there also any way to see what the distance is?
300 meters. 350 if u upgrade them.
The game tells you on the screen if you are within 400 meters..
Having finished the game this weekend I was watching many DS videos on YouTube in Metro. And...Just how fucking impatient are these people. I took a total of 3 stumbles in the entire game and people playing in these vids have patience of a chipmunk. So many are crossing the river without checking it's depth and then blaming the gane. Or scaling mountains so steep they're obviously not the right path.
It's actually very difficult to fall in DS. whenever you stumble release everything and holding balance will 99.99% of the time would save any fall.

Thanks. What do star stickers have do to with ziplines? I thought they were just bragging rights.
I fell one time of my own accord in the game, and 2-3 more times due to attacks from enemies. It's honestly baffling how some people are purely unwilling to engage with the core mechanic of the game. I even have the endgame stats screen to back this up.
By leveling up facilities chiral bandwidth goes up so you can place more pcc structures. The star stickers themselves have no effect, just used them as a stand in for leveling up the preppers and cities.
You get more Chiral Bandwidth per region with a higher rating - Ziplines use 500 a piece.
Just finished, yeah that ending is aces, woof I'm gonna need a bit to digest and mediate on everything.
In terms of criticisms I would say that Kojima shows a bad habit of letting certain quirks get beaten into the ground through overuse ("I'm not that fragile...") and re-explaining stuff over and over for the people in the back who maybe weren't paying attention the whole time, but all in all I'd say that this is my GOTY so far, edging out DMCV. Gameplay demonstrated a skilled balance of zone-out chill work and tense traversal challenge, and the story, while super out-there, overblown, and as subtle as a sledgehammer, against all odds actually works where it counts.

I definitely thought this bit was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, for whatever that's worth
I just started episode 3, after 11 hours or so. What an amazing game this is, I am having so much fun with it. It's thoroughly engaging, from the moment you start planning your next "run" to the actual execution of that plan. In an era where some games, however good they are, feel like they just throw all these different (and often contradictory) gameplay systems at you for the sake of it, this game is really well designed, every game mechanic and system in place feels like it's there for a purpose. Sometimes it's a weirdly soothing experience, other times it's exhilarating, but so far it has never been boring.
Also, regarding the story... Yeah, I love it. The writing may be weird sometimes, but I feel like I have to commend Kojima for actually having something interesting to say (and designing a game around those ideas). For all its surreal imagery and crazy sci-fi moments, it's also one of his most grounded and emotionally relatable experiences. Great stuff.
Onwards to episode 3!

Definitely could be have more Survival elements and I like your idea. It would be great too if there were a lot more Caves - there could be even more Gameplay elements relating to Caves specifically.
Maybe a NG+ or a Survival Mode as free DLC?
An underrated strategy, even into the late game, is Offloading you're cargo, letting the BTs take you, then running away from the boss. Bam, no timefall and no BTs. Lovely.
Listen, when a persons orders pizza they expect it on time, next I expect you to pick up a second order because you're on the way and go there first.
/s obviously
There are signs that automatically boost your vehicle when you pass through them. After a while, I stopped taking vehicles off road because I figured that while the game allows you to do so, it's more encouraging to go on foot and save the vehicles for paved road segments. Crashing into rocks over and over isn't a fun experience.
Man I'm on vacation and I keep thinking about just how much I can't wait to play again...that world is too cool and there are folks expecting me goddamnit!
Yes there is. You made a good call
Also just finished the game. Last couple of episodes were cool but went on forever
Late game story spoilers.
I'm in Chapter 13 and I have no clue what's happening. I'm playing as a grey Sam on his beach now and the credits are rolling slowly between some cutscenes. Am I supposed to be doing something? Anything to do with the gun? Is Amalie Sam's sister? Is she even human? Seriously the writing got exponentially worse since Chapter 8 or something, it's far worse than any nanomachine ramblings in the MGS games.
Lol, thanks. That's more than I thought before I read the entire trophy description :P
Nope, you can call out to get some dialogue but you're stuck waiting it out. Amelie is the soul half of Bridget. She was an extinction entity who didn't want to destroy the world, but when she failed to stop it she tried to speed it up. It's not well done
Also the entire post credits is an hour long. Settle in

god getting Cargo Condition/delivery time to level 60 is the first thing that's felt like grinding during my 80 hours of play. Sucks, but I'm too close to the Platinum to not go for it
It reminded me of the epilogue with snake and big boss. Unnecessary, poorly written, lots of rambling and just plain bad.
Thankfully game gets better.
I didn't think Chap 13 was that bad. The expositing could've been handled better for sure, though
Finished last night. I liked the end, though it was a bit much in chapter 13. Overall, I think I'll give it a four or of five for me... The traversal is unmatched though... Now walking in other games seems so lame.
Can someone help me clear up the relationship between Amelie, Bridget and Sam? I'm on chapter 6 so no major spoilers after that please, but:
Am I supposed to know why Amelie and Bridget look exactly like each other? In all the flashbacks until now, is that Bridget or Amelie? Is it Bridget or Amelie that he keeps meeting in his dreams? Bridget said she'd wait at the beach too...

I've been enjoying it a lot so far. There are some issues such as strange offroad vehicle movement (the truck being front heavy and not turning on slopes), Roads being 0/0/0 unless you've progressed into the story (so exploration is not wanted) and time of delivery being so low compared with the others.
If I may ask, what actually happens if you kill someone? Does a voidout actually happen and clear an area? Can this be used advantageously with Mule camps?

Sheeeesh, I've just finished it after 35h. Guess I m gonna stop building them roads ^^
See the biggest problem behind this exposition is that almost nobody cared about Amelie, the game doesnt make us care for her nor it gives us reasons to. That's different compared to the ending of MGS4 even if it was dragged along, I was interested listening to these characters that i've liked for so long.
I just delivered a pizza. I don't know why but I love this game. The gameplay loop is just so satisfying. It's like I've always hated traversal in open world games because it was so boring, But here it's actually challenging and requires mindfulness. And it's so beautiful.
I have a lot of complaints but the basics are so great. Kojima didn't go far enough.
Walking mechanics need to be a lot more elaborate. Visible balance meter. Pace, gait, etc. Removal of auto-arrangement of things (trivializes the preparation unless you are planning on encountering timefall).
Unnecessary talking just needs to go. The holograms...no.
It would be nice to see real people in these cities. That's meaningful interaction that should be thematically connected with the point of the game. Seeing only the holograms doesn't cut it.
It would be nice to see the ruins of real American places.
BTs should be much harder. Early game they are legitimately terrifying and I still go, "Ohhhhhhhhhh shit," when it starts raining and risks me damaging or losing cargo. But now I got grenades out the ass.
But the social systems, the world the team has built, and the environment and the relaxing, almost zen-like nature of plotting out your adventure and doing it...what game is like this? There is not a one. Maybe Football Manager.

I honestly feel like, to me, the more 'gamey' parts of this game are what drag it down the most.
Like I'm just wondering along trying to find the best way down a hill whilst some Low Roar begins to play in the background only for the "INITIATE STEALTH SEQUENCE" animation to play and force me into navigating around a bunch of creatures I couldn't care less about.
Or when I just want to get through a really interesting area (like the one with canyons near the Film Director) but then you got the Hoarder Crew on your ass like an annoying fly that isn't really making your life a challenge but is annoying to be around nonetheless.
It makes me wish for a literal "Walking Simulator" mode where you can spend all your time navigating the world instead of having to periodically deal wiith incredibly-easy-to-deal with enemies.

Lvl60 Delivery Time was my last trophy, I should've sent my bots early to minimise the grinding. 😑
