We had this thread yesterday and some schizophrenic seethed the whole time saying everyone was filtered because he's never gotten pussy in his life. We don't need a repeat.

Fucking shit game but the graphics are the LEAST of it's problem
Just quit right now it's shit and you don't even like half of the game's appeal? It has nothing interesting besides some of the cool scenery

No ray tracing. Death Stranding 2 already looks outdated outside of curated scenes like that fireworks show

Oof.
I was about to tell OP to use DLAA but that's not an option for him.'
TAA in Death Stranding is just awful.

1. you have no upgraded shit, so likely still in the early parts of the game
2. "ugliest" is a bold claim. that and the overall atmosphere of the game isn't visual only.
3. regardless of your opinion on the visuals, the game runs better than most modern titles
4. you've probably liked stuff I built, so you're welcome

Online fixes the retarded story involving throwing Norman Reedus piss at ghosts? Fragile but not fragile? Mario and princess beach?
It fixes the horrible gameplay with genuinely awful combat and beyond garbage driving? Fixes most of the game being an ugly empty mess in which you have to hold M1 and M2 in a walking simulator experience?

Maybe the real Death Stranding was the pedowood celebrities we saw along the way.

The game looks fine under DLAA, especially considering it passed the 5 yr mark and the hardware it was made to run on. I can only critique the graphics for not having DLAA onboard and you have to force it on outside of the game.

Not entirely sure what you mean, but there are a lot of factors.
>Every order screen shows you what you'll likely encounter. Mules or BT's I mean.
>Is the route / terrain fitted for a vehicle, on foot hauling or a combination
>How heavy are the order(s)? Pick your type of skeleton / decide if you might need a cart (or two)
>Ladder, rope, blood bags and a PCC should be standard fair
If you are talking about raw materials, you just dump them where you need them. If you want to build a road and there's a mule camp nearby, go for that combined with withdrawing some from an outpost.
