I've built a few things that I thought were in good places, but have received no likes. :-( Why don't you other Porties like meeeee?

I played 16 hours today. I'm in love with this game. They're still adding more menu options which is annoying but I'm loving the base game loop way more than i thought i would.

I did a boosted jump on my motorcycle and it exploded. Now I have to make the longest trip so far in the game without transportation. The real Death Stranding starts here.

Same, I built a bridge near that first waystation that lets you totally skip the river and it doesn't have any likes, while the one you have to use to get to mine has hundreds

Played for a couple hours this evening. I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far. Only annoying thing is the track info staying on the screen far too long.

I haven't done much actual game play so far. But traversing the landscape is engaging. The visuals are super impressive. The frame rate is really smooth, and Sam controls pretty nicely.

Played 4 and a half hours and I like it a lot. I haven't been bored yet. The only is that they throw a lot of jargon at you and expect you to catch it.

When youre in an area with BTs is there any way to get rid of that mini cutscene that shows the clacker going off?

I'm now... I dunno, maybe 6 hours or so in; JUST started Chapter 3 and so far I'd give this game an EASY 9/10. Easy. Like, it's done nothing wrong so far.

I'm assuming this is the part where it's gonna get boring... but Tim Rogers says Ch. 3 is where the fun begins.
I forgot that a lot of the reviews mentioned it being boring until it opened up in Chapter 3. Funny. Haven't even noticed. Personally I think the slow ramp and unlocking of systems has been pretty well paced.

I've been watching a few low view streamers play it, looks like something I could have some fun with so I grabbed my brothers ps4 and will buy the game Monday.
I don't think reviews matter that much for games like this.

is anyone else having issues with like EVERYTHING in the ui being way too fucking small? especially icons
half the time i can't tell what button the game is prompting me to press without leaning forward to squint at the tv
i'm not even sitting that far from my tv
this is like god of war all over again
i swear, do studios these days literally only ever play their games sitting at a desk with a monitor 3ft in front of them?

Having a blast so far, and I'm not at the infamous Chapter 3. Just spent way too much time just going back and forth between the first two points, just seeing player stuff, player cargo in the Shared Locker etc made me hype and made me want to deliver it all!

That's exactly what I was tryna do but the specific Trike that was stuck wasn't budging unfortunately 😭

Also I've got a question. I know you finished the game so you're like the most qualified out of any of us to answer this but you know the materials like metal, resins, ceramics etc located in the Distribution Centers, is there a way to reliably keep them stocked outside of raiding MULE camps and recycling? Because I want to start building more stuff as I've done already but I'm starting to run out of materials aha.
hmmmm probably just recycle a lot of shit from the online lockers?? playing with a deadline at a quick clip i didn't build as much of the really resource intensive stuff and i felt like i usually had an abundance of supplies so i'm probably not the best to answer

Yeah idk. So far I really fucking love this.. I'm deep into chapter 2. The feeling of accomplishment delivering a gigantic cargo was insane.

I feel like the reviews didn't talk enough about how it controls. Never played anything like this and I love it.

Does anyone know if you unlock some sort of item that allows you to listen to the games music while traveling? It's crazy that they have all these awesome licensed songs that you can listen to in your private room, but you aren't in there long enough half the time to actually care to do it.

I'm actually very interested in 100%ing this. Plus, I hear there's a secret ending.

Unfortunately you can't. The only way you can is if you upgrade a structure to level 2 so you can customize it and allow it to play music. I would have loved a portable music player type thing.

no. the closest thing is that you can add songs to structures and they'll play in the world when you're close to them. it's very eerie hearing "asylums for the feeling" echoey and distant, fading away

Yeah it's my main complain about the game, the menus and stats screens are too small and too cluttered.

Anybody know if there's a definitive soundtrack listing somewhere? The 8 track "official" one is kind of a sad representation, so many great mood tracks so far.

I've actually been pausing and writing them down, but a list would be easier....
In your room there's an option by the map thing to the left of your bed
You can pick songs out

Yep, it's real bad and I didn't see any reviews mention it.

Finished chapter 2 and im just not feeling it... :/. The core gameplay feels like a chore

EDIT 6/15/2020: I finally went back and finished the game and my opinion has changed. I really enjoyed it for it's unique form of gameplay. It was definitely too long, but I'm glad I finally got around to finishing it.

not only that but i think the icons used for button prompts are just straight up bad. theres not enough contrast in them at all. even when i zoom the screen, i can barely tell the difference between L1 and R1 because its so poorly designed

Friends in real life were getting it and i fell into the hype of wanting to be in on the next big release. The production values are really great and its an extremely well-made game, i just dont think it's for me. Im going to finish it still and see it through.

Pretty surprised since you seemed super down on it from the offset, and already spoiled the entire story for yourself a day before the games release lol.
