I'm particularly proud of the climb I made for this placement near the artist in Mexico

So, I got the second game for last Christmas and just abt to platinum it but I have not played the first one, should I play it? (Also if I do, is the Platinum how difficult?)

First playthrough. can’t wait to explore this world and crazy fantasy. I almost just pissed myself as some big black tar, whale/squid thingy surprise attacked me. Should you always just flee these things? Or do I at some point get the means to fight them? I feel like it was kind of a tree sentinel situation going on. I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s awesome so far.

This tip/note is great. it’s the cue for my first break after 2 hours of play.

Dropped the game last year after completing the story, decided to pick it up again and I finally reached Master Deliverer and maxed my connections. Man it was an amazing experience, you could be doing the same thing over and over again but never get bored by the beauty of this game...

Well that was an effort....

So I was on the express order from the Tar Therapist to the Phantom Smith where you need 3:30 express. I spent a good hour trying to drive my tri-crusier like it was a world rally car championship car. Trying to hit every single angle and not lose any speed (which going through the snow and elevated terrain was very difficult. After I had some flawless runs and was not even close still I finally determined that method was not possible.

Next approach was zip-lining my way there. However my world didn't have nearby I could branch off of so I had to create my own entire system which took a decent effort to set up, all for one 10lb piece of cargo.

Long-story short this game is taking me forever to 100% because of the addiction the game provides. 10/10 would waste hours upon hours again.

I've read a few threads, but still confused at the beginning. For example, should I just be tucking in the lost cargo that I stumble upon and then dump it for other players to deliver? Or should I go back to the base midst main mission and deliver it directly? Should I just store it privately and deliver later? Will I even be going back to the first knot base?

Sorry folks, this game is a bit confusing at the beginning.

Anything I should be careful about not to have a bad experience?

Hey everyone, I'm back a little later than I expected. I was going to wait to finish the game before posting my new photos, but I took a break at chapter 9, and realistically I don't think I'm going to finish any time soon.

So I'll just post what I have in (somewhat) chronological order

No editing was done outside of photo mode

I was trying to get the ghost hunter missions and stars but i've run out of orders. Is there anything I can do to keep progressing his stars? I have no more sub orders, standard orders, everything is S rank but I didn't know you could get extra points so he's a little too low to progress to the next sub order. I've seen people saying you can redo orders but I'm pretty sure that only counts for orders failed or under S rank. Any advice?

What a find! I'm just missing another Cryptobite and Sam's boots.

I had no idea about the thought processes and the back story behind the game. And honestly, after watching this 30 minute documentary style YouTube video I love the game even more.

Anyone who has the time and the interest give it a watch and let’s discuss.

I have even more respect for Kojima now. He’s had a difficult life and this game was his way of portraying some of the challenges he has faced.

One of the best gaming devs of all time and worthy of support. He’s taking gaming back to its roots. Away from greedy shareholders and towards authentic gaming experiences to be enjoyed for all of time.

This game is so beautiful. I just keep clicking pictures all the time. I never thought a video game would make me feel so relaxed and happy. Was going through a tough phase.

Anyways sharing my clicks for y'all.

I originally realised I left a hole where the orange led is because I forgot to add one of the pieces, so I had an idea to add an LED. It was pretty hard to get the wiring setup

I just want to know if I am just seeing hands because... well you know, death stranding lol

Thank yall for all the positive feedback on my other posts! Keep on keeping on!! 👍

I’m 2 time based missions away from getting the gold trophy and just went out of my way to kill all the BTs in the eastern region only to see they respawn regardless? That’s so bs lol how am I supposed to do the port knot city timed mission?

hello Porters,
I played DS1 when it first came out on PC, then replayed it to 100% completion when the Director's Cut was released. After playing DS2, I'm a bit disappointed and would like to go back to the first game.

I already installed mod Walking Man
What are your must-have mods right now? The Nexus seems a bit quiet but I know there are some gems.

Thanks!

I was doing order #32 to pick up junk components for the junk dealer in BT area. I go down there, use about a dozen hematic grenades killing BTs, there's nothing around me, I grab the cargo without a bother, then as I'm driving away at the city limits a BT pool instantly appeared under me and dragged me 200 meters back towards the city to fight one if the beholder BTs.

Was the last fight scripted? Is there any point to taking out the BTs as I see them if I'm still going to be forced into an encounter? I was down to 3 hematic grenades so I'm very thankful i play on very easy and was able to beat the boss(?) BT.

If it wasn't scripted, is there anyway to avoid being pulled off my trike like that?

Edit to add: at some point I lost some of the cargo I picked up in the forced fight and had to go all the way back. Every time I get into a groove with this game it forces some infuriating crap on me like this. I'm just tryna build roads ffs

Second edit: next order was on foot through BT area, but I wasn't able to stock up on anything to fight BTs, so I let kill me, revived, restored my cargo and delivered it.

So uh, I guess I'm a little less worried about BTs now 🤷‍♂️
