________THE GAME__________

It's a fucking evangelion clone
It's about falling off floating roads and dying constantly because god forbid you take your eyes off the road for a second
>>714013916 (OP)Is that a baby inside vagina?
>>714017686No its Sam's esophagus. Death Stranding is Frank Jaeger's origin story.
>>714013916 (OP)Rebirth? Since when you die in death stranding this cutscene plays.
>>714013916 (OP)Delivering stuff in the apocalypse
>>714015360FUCK YOU I JUST LOST THE GAME
>>714021515>it's a game for homos.It's a game for Homo Ludens, bandwagoner

>>714013916 (OP)This game plot is 2deep for me. I like the straightforwardness of Metal Gear story more.
>>714017613I'm like 20 hours in, i don't even know what dying looks like. some of you faggots are actually dying? holy shit nu-/v/ is embarrassing.
it's a very basic plot about people trying to make the most of a fucked up situation and doing their best to prolong their civilization in the face of anime extinction.
there's a bunch of technobabble bullshit and pointless drama but it really doesn't go any deeper than "good guys fight for life, evil psychopathic guys fight for death because they've given up on life and want to kill everyone else"
The man is pregnant. Get walking chud
>>714013916 (OP)Delivering Packages and rebuilding infrastructure.
>>714013916 (OP)>What the fuck is this game aboutWho the fuck knows. Just keep building roads!
>>714013916 (OP)It's about America for the most part. Also globalization and 21st century as a whole.
>>714025741It's not that black and white. "Terrorists" want to destroy UCA because it's survival literally depends on sacrificing babies.
>>714027346>"Terrorists" want to destroy UCA because it's survival literally depends on sacrificing babiesthat was back when coffin was in charge. Since higgs took them up they're literally nothing more than a death cult.
An artist in 1995 recreates the events of the COVID localdowns from the descriptions of a time travelling schizophrenic who just finished Bingewatching the walking dead.
>>714027745No it's not. Higgs and the rest are still driven by the same moral issue, they are just more aggressive after UCA's successes.
>>714028242higgs literally tries to accelerate the end of all life in both games what the fuck are you talking about
>>714028315>tries to accelerate the end of all life Yes, because the other option is using dead children as fuel to prolong it's death.
>>714028703torturing kids didn't seem to bother him that much when he got his hands on fragile
higgs is a huge fucking hypocrite and any amount of moral grandstanding he does is vapid and pointless. He very transparently gets a kick out of the suffering he inflicts.
>>714013916 (OP)I've tried to play this game multiple times I never got past after the boat part.
>>714029038I don't think Fragile was a kid at that point. Higgs has a "with us or against us" type mentality re destroying UCA, which is where his cruelty comes from. He considers the organization innately abhorrent, and so won't be very considerate to those who try to defend it.
Either way, this was not ment to be some "Higgs did nuffin wrong" post. The game is a tragedy, there is no good way out of the situation. Everyone will just continue to suffer.

Okay, so youre Sam, the delivery boy. Youre also the prince of America, but you hate your mom so you dont even know shes the queen. God didnt save her tho, and she died of cancer like its the fuckin 90s or some shit. This means you have to go save your tulpa GF from terrorists. The worlds all fucked up tho because shit from The Far Shoreโข started washing up. People started exploiting the other side and taking advantage of death so nukes started going off or smtn, IDK.
So... basically... Sam is Venom Snake. BB is (You) the player. Youre inside Sam, and that metalevel connection you have is why he is a repatriate(its a vidya, you get 1ups and can load saves). Kojima is Mads. He is loving you, and wanting to show you the world and fighting Konami to do it. Ultimately though, it is Venom Snake, or Sam, who shows that to the player, BB. Higgs is the Konami execs that want to destroy the worlds he has brought life to. Norman Sneedus was chosen because his face is the best icon for the destrustion theyve caused(see. Silent Hills). The BTs are everything thats dragging him down. Its through his Venoms's and (You)'res's combined support though that that Mad's wish for BB(You) comes true. The Amelia plot is Venom searching for Quiet and the ending we never got in TPP because Konami trapped it.
The Elder is actually the resolution of Kid Liquid's story btw
Notice how no one can answer because it's pretentious garbage.
>>714013916 (OP)bee bee pee pee paa paa poo poo
not kidding
Some bullshit about how the most important thing is human connection and Sam being a proxy for people with Agoraphobia ala his skin condition.
>>714025741I think it's more about people coping with the concept of death. Everyone sees it as this horrific monster that comes for us all, when it's simply just a thing that just happens. There's also something about "le industrual revolution and its consequences" but that part just comes off as pretentious. It's like the videogame equivalent of those shitty comics and animated shorts making "biting commentary" on how obsessed we are with technology and lost the emotional connection over it all while the artist himself spends all day retweeting shit on twitter
>>714029038Higgs is a tribalist (not in a buzzword sense). He's worried about the dangers of reconnecting the world and forcing everyone to be together. He wants humans to exist in tribes and not form one giant collective that will continue to shit itself (see real life). This is reflected in the game lore with how chiral levels or whatever increase with each city you connect to the network. The chiral levels increase and create more dangers for mankind. Previously Higgs didn't really care about the UCA but once it started getting too large, he came into play and destroyed it. Then when Sam comes into play and starts reconnecting everything, he gets increasingly hostile and aggressive. Yes, he's a terrorist, but he has an agenda. He's not just some nutcase that likes to hurt people.
This is reflected in real life too. We bring more and more people together and put them all in the same "network" which has a surplus of benefits but also comes with its consequences and dangers
>>714031610It's not about some nebulous "concept" of death. It's about a very particular death of 20th century America, which leads into the continued, pained existence of 21st century America. Game asks you if keeping it alive is worth further sacrifice, suffering and deception.
As for that Ted K thing you just hallucinated it, I think.
