I strongly implore you to not use vehicles in your playthrough.

i'm going to assume its like the first game where they're generally useless due to the terrain anyway and you mainly use them for transporting 9 million tons of metal to the auto pavers.

>>714445091 (OP)
I won't even play that shit.
>>714445283
Opposite lol. Maps are flat so vehicles trivializes the game. You don't even need to walk. Truck even has launchers that automatically takes dropped cargo back.

>>714445283

YOU IMPLORES ME!?
YOU ALWAYS WERE ONE FOR FANCY WORDS

you didn't delivered the package

The only "delivery" worth making with this game is carrying it back to the store for a refund!

>>714445091 (OP)
>in your playthrough

>>714447917
>pretend you delivered the package

I avoid using vehicles in the first game. Usually I’ll jump on a truck, drive to the closest point on the road to the destination, and then just walk the rest of the way. Building roads is fun though, it appeals to my autism

>>714445370
This is true. Unfortunately playing without vehicles doesn’t fix the game. It just makes the game slower and take longer while you run up gentle slopes instead of quickly driving up them.

>>714445370
But here's the neat part, the auto targeting parts are TRASH!! I just got a fucking B on Peko's fragile package retrieval order, and the god damn cannon quickly hoovered it up and rammed it right into the crevasse that it was wedged in.

The auto machine-guns are totally unusable for no-kill runs also. These too also can't be disabled. It's schwarbage.

I strongly implore you to watch a playthrough on youtube.

>he doesn't even have to ram other abandoned delivery trucks and lost hunks of metal in the road along the way
Dude got lucky.

>>714445091 (OP)
>I strongly implore you to not use vehicles in your playthrough.
doesn't solve a single thing since there's no challenging terrain either way. the only difference it will make is that getting to your goal takes 3 times as long and yet you're still just going to hold forward the whole time. death stranding was not a walking simulator in the derogatory sense, but death stranding 2 very much is.

I can’t not use a vehicle if the terrain is flat. I don’t go crazy with the boost mode on the trike though

>>714449505
I aim for rough terrain and abuse the fucking shit out of the vehicles at times. Actually they're quite incredible and less prone to shitting themselves and forcing loss of input like the first game. I was driving horizontally up the mountain near by the Dowser just today until I finally hit the limit and the van seized up, forcing a downward backslide for a hot second. That bitch was looking straight up though and nearly made the peak, I tell you what.

Anyone else get that electric motor freakout in D1 when you try to jam it up a steep hill? So far that shit isn't there.

BTW auto driving is pointless and fucks up hitting packages if you're not paying attention.

>>714445091 (OP)
This is a truck game if you aren't using the truck you ain't livin

>>714450449
my favorite part is that there's rides for your rides. You can go deep-tar across the continents or travel in style by railway, all without leaving your rig's side.

>>714450370
My only complaint is boost doesn’t seem to give more torque. In 1 you could boost through rivers or get that extra juice for uphill

>>714451045
Yeah I guess you're right, it's just pure momentum if you're level.

>>714450694
monorails are pretty comfy

>>714450694
>send truck to next facility on the monorail
>meanwhile drive bike the long way to make a couple small side deliveries
ludo

That's it, bros. I'm going back in. Just got to Higgs cutscene from the trailer. I still riked it the second time.

>>714445091 (OP)
I use vehicles, bridges, hoverboards, generators, sprinting legs and whatever the fuck else. You're playing the game wrong by being a tryhard. I'm playing it correctly by supporting my fellow porters. MULE ass bitch.

Whats the meta for getting up mountains with "big loads"?

Can't climb with your floaty trays and you can't drive a vehicle up it.

>>714452220
I haven't gotten to the mountain yet but I try to aim for rocky terrain with the vehicles and give them something to stairstep their way up that mountain. I doubt it's efficient but it's possible for me to do it in the lowlands.

Sam, Sam, he's our man...

>>714452220
One Floating Carrier and slowly climb ladders or go down ropes. You eventually get spiked tires for your truck which makes a great difference.

>>714445091 (OP)
The first game had no challenge and it was a balance on rough terrain simulator.It was fun for its novelty, but DS2 somehow managed to bring any hardships to minus one so it's just boring as fuck.
Maybe this is what Kojima was talking about when he said he made the game worse. I never had issues to cross any terrain, never had to use stairs and ropes. The terrain is super flat compared to the first game, driving vehicles was a nightmare in DS1 because not only their battery was incredibly short, it was like they were made of paper and would bump on ANYTHING and there were multiple places that forced you to abandon those. The rain is also a no-issue and you will only let it damage the cargo if you are a fucking moron. It's too easy and you won't need to use none of the constructs except for the bridge.

The only annoying shit is gathering 999999 ceramics to rebuild the roads. You will never, EVER run out of metal or any other material, but you will need to raid enemy bases and take ceramics from every single place if you want to finish the damn roads.

The relationship between Tommorow and Sam is complety unearned when most of their interactions involve Sam singing or grunting a couple of times before walking away.

>most of their interactions involve Sam singing or grunting a couple of times before walking away.
They won't say it but this is exactly what most women want from a man

>>714445091 (OP)
I barely used them till the last episodes were they make you travel a lot of distance

>>714452943
Thats because they spent most of their time together taking photos

>>714445091 (OP)
If you don't use motorcycles you can't get the randomly spawning motorcycle ghost chase sequences (once you've done the first one in a sidequest to unlock them) and those are the best part of the game.

vehicles on 2nd playthrough only, anons

>>714445091 (OP)
You cant even do a 100% vehicle free playthrough since riding the Mallegan is part of the story, so fuck you

>>714452943
That's Kojima kino, bro. You’re not meant to get it, you’re meant to feel vaguely uncomfortable while Norman Reedus awkwardly mumbles next to a girl who looks like she walked out of a perfume ad. Their bond is forged in the silence, in the grains of sand passed under foot while lugging around 15 crates of expired Cheez-Its. True love.

>>714445283
Nah you can drive the truck through the entire game including over the mountain

>>714452943
Should have spent more time with Lou as a toddler before she disappears.
Then Sam should have had more fatherly scenes with Tomorrow instead of awkwardly watching Fragile and Rainy mother her.

i said the same about DS1
1. play on hard mode (very hard is the same as hard just more repair cans for cargo no reason to play it on very hard)
2. no vehicles (forces you to deal with the enviornment)
3. no roads (same as point 2)
4. no internet play offline (forces you to build and suffer the world)
5. walk through BT, mule and terrorist areas if they are on route to your delivery (creates action carry weapons and stealth)
6. take a different route every time you deliver

that is peak death stranding im waiting for the PC port its going to be fun i can already tell

>>714445091 (OP)
Kojima caved in and heavily streamlined and casualized rhe sequel. The signs were there in the Director's Cut of DS1 that added things that let players engage less with the core mechanics

>>714456913
Aging up Lou was a mistake also Elle Fanning is ugly

>>714461838
Always been a Dakota guy myself.

>>714461838
she has a nice ass though

>>714461838
>Elle Fanning
She alright. As an Asian guy wanting to bang a white girl, she is an 8/10 in my book.

>>714459518
You played neither game, you retard.

>>714452943
>A Kojima game has bad writing
stop the presses

>>714459518
>Kojima caved in and heavily streamlined and casualized rhe sequel.
Death Stranding was always piss easy and never took full advantage of the open world being an obstacle for the player to overcome. It and 2 are games you play for comfiness and delivery autism, nothing more.

>>714445091 (OP)
I hope Kojigod includes this Fragile look in a future update

>>714462532
> stop the presses
Sam, for your next mission, you'll need to contact a journalist called Press Stopman

>>714445091 (OP)
Do whatever you want. The game is very sandboxy.

>>714461838
she's good at playing retarded children though

>>714445283
You can drive almost anywhere with vehicles in DS2. It is actually even encouraged, because you make treaded paths and roads that way.

>>714448675
>I just got a fucking B on Peko's fragile package retrieval order
Sounds like a (you) problem.

>The auto machine-guns are
Then don't use them. Simple shrimple.

Snowrunner is a better game.

>>714459518
Wut?

In DS1 you could fucking drive into a wall with a fully loaded trike and nothing would happen. You can't do that anymore in DS2, because all of your cargo would be (severely) damaged.

Neither game is hard in any case. They are just narrative heavy sand box games.

>>714445091 (OP)
never did one step at a time

>>714445091 (OP)
Reminder what you're playing is a revised version of DS2 done at last minute. The original, INTENDED, version of DS2 existed but scrapped by Kojima because it was too easy based on playtesters' reviews.

>>714465092
This is nonsense.

>>714452943
unironically every character and every relationship in this entire game

>>714465416
game bad you bad metal gear snoy
me very smart, me not say what I play. me only say you game bad. me know aaaall about you game. but me not play game, because game bad.
