Thrilling gameplay

(I actually enjoyed it)

In case anyone is wondering, the game is called "Norman Reedus and the magic fetus".
- The first Strand type game
- Funny. But it's actually called "Skyrim".
  
  No it's actually Sandstorm by a guy named Darude
- Guillermo and Mads: My Two Weird Dads
- I don’t believe you
  
  I don't believe that you don't believe them.
"strand" is swedish for "beach".

it's all connected.
I waited so long to play this "delivery game" but now its one of my favorites.
- It's just so unique. I even found myself getting annoyed with the boss fights and plot, because it was distracting me from my deliveries.
  
  Reject humanity, become MULE.
  
  Ironically in dunkey's revisited review he talks about how if the game was only focused on deliveries, and reconnecting the world after some event, and not beaches and BTs and bridge babies and all the wild stuff it would be a better game. But then it wouldn't be a Kojima game

I am so angry that I didn't just enjoy the heck out of Death Stranding, I freaking love it. Why did I spend 20 hours finding mats to build a highway so I can travel a bit faster?
- For the Thumbs Ups! Think of how many other porters used and appreciated your highways!
  
  You're not kidding! I was obsessed with getting thumbs ups
- I skipped this game altogether. I knew that I didn't have the patience to handle a Kojima story without the metal Gear background that I love. And i cannot stand Norman Reedus, I think he's the ugliest, weirdest, worst actor in Hollywood so skipping this game was easy
  
  You’re missing out honestly. Its a beautiful game. Yes the mechanic is a lil funky and sometimes tedious but its bold and really makes up for it
I've never played this game, but don't you collect your own piss and store it in bottles for some reason? Odd that the comic doesn't depict that part.
- Well.. yeah. How else are you going to make piss grenades?
  
  Jarate!
  
  Ohh right, what was I thinking? 🤔
Not only a videogame, but also a sequel!
Was a great interactive movie.
- Yeah, you definitely have to go into the game with the right expectations. I loved it, but I was also in the perfect headspace for a very slow, chill experience.
  
  I don't know about chill. The first 5 minutes:
  
  !Yo the president wants to see you. Oh BTW the president is your mother. Oh and she's dying. Oh and once she dies you have to take her body to this spot so that everyone doesn't die. Tomorrow? No right fucking now. !<
  
  I couldn't get into it, and I've beaten every MGS, so I know how weird stuff can get. I'll have to give it another shot one day, but it was not clicking with me.
  
  Ooooh this sounds like my sort of game. I love visual novels and things like that, I really enjoyed GTA V because of the story (the dialogs are downright hilarious). I might give DS a try then.
Who needs inventory management when we can just roll over with stickiness. Let's make a giant star!
- Like a katamari?
I never played Death Stranding. Maybe 2025, love the concept!
- It was a fun chill game til the scary ghosts got involved…
  
  The gameplay was fun (though I agree about the ghosts), but I found the writing obnoxious. Super melodramatic and weirdly absurdist, but at the same time really quite tedious.

  A bit later in the game, you can kill the ghosts. I think you get their weapon right after.
- I got bored and read up the plot and decided that I'm good and then picked up another game.
  
  Same. The intro is long like any Kojima game.
  
  Then I tried it a year later and forced myself past the 5 hour mark.
  
  Then another five hours.
  
  Then 40+ hours later, I realized I do love this game. This really stupidly weird game.
I'm eagerly awaiting the Kuato DLC.
