In case anyone is wondering, the game is called "Norman Reedus and the magic fetus".

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

The first Strand type game

[-] superkret@feddit.org 10 points 3 days ago

Funny. But it's actually called "Skyrim".

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No it's actually Sandstorm by a guy named Darude

Guillermo and Mads: My Two Weird Dads

I don’t believe you

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.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Well.. yeah. How else are you going to make piss grenades?

Ohh right, what was I thinking? 🤔

[-] lime@feddit.nu 6 points 2 days ago

"strand" is swedish for "beach".

it's all connected.

[-] Sarcasmo220@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Not only a videogame, but also a sequel!

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 33 points 3 days ago

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?

[-] scops@reddthat.com 25 points 3 days ago

For the Thumbs Ups! Think of how many other porters used and appreciated your highways!

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 days ago

You're not kidding! I was obsessed with getting thumbs ups

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 42 points 3 days ago

I waited so long to play this "delivery game" but now its one of my favorites.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 53 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Reject humanity, become MULE.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

Honestly I feel the best way to play any Kojima game is to seperate the story and gameplay mentally. Like playing monopoly but every twenty minutes your great grandfather drops family lore and rants about how the English are at fault for all the worlds problems in increasing long winded rants.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 days ago

But I love when PaPa drops truth

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah I got so annoyed with ghosts interrupting me and scripted rain (which corrods your stuff) that I stopped playing after a few hours.

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 days ago

Was a great interactive movie.

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] Jrockwar@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 10 points 3 days ago

DS is like if Eurotruck Simulator had a story mode. And it’s about ghosts and babies.

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Lmao I'm just trying to picture demons trying to catch me but I'm too busy trying to decide which axel configuration I want.

[-] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 days ago

Who needs inventory management when we can just roll over with stickiness. Let's make a giant star!

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Like a katamari?

[-] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago

I never played Death Stranding. Maybe 2025, love the concept!

[-] Saff@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago

It was a fun chill game til the scary ghosts got involved…

[-] egrets@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago
[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

This was my experience. I bounced off it a few times, then finally got some of the interesting gear, then realized I had >!reconnected a player-built Zipline section in the last area of the game!<, was nearing its end, and I didn't wanna leave the world quite yet hahah.

One of the few open-world games that I enjoyed just existing in, doing the menial busy-work. Growing attached to my carts as Norman Reedus grows attached to BB... Such a bizarre experience.

[-] oleorun@real.lemmy.fan 6 points 3 days ago

I'm eagerly awaiting the Kuato DLC.
