DEATH STRANDING | [ALL CUTSCENES - PART 2!!] | A NEW FOE HAS APPEARED!?!

I'm starting to get an idea of the storyteller that Hideo Kojima is and how he uses the medium, in this case gaming to deliver his story. It's a reward system.

In this part I start to figure out as we mainly, only get gameplay, granted it's a game but I was sometimes wondering where the cutscenes were or how long we'd been travelling for. A clearer picture begins to form. Then suddenly, a new foe has appeared!

The first part I ended it with me wondering if I'd like the gameplay side of the game, this part I find that answer. Play The Tape!

Ouch, they’re really not doing a good job editing this playthrough for you and showing the gameplay—especially at 1:21:30. In Death Stranding, world exploration is an essential part of the storytelling. The way they made the cuts skips a lot of that, so all you get is one information dump after another, instead of having time to explore and experience the world. You don’t get the chance to feel stressed or scared when there are BTs in your path, or to have a section of exploration with a Low Roar song playing in the background, interacting with the baby, finally delivering your package, and then getting more information. Death Stranding is already packed with lore dumps, but this is the worst way to experience them, haha. I’m glad you still managed to enjoy it!

The guitar in the MULE camp is their alarm. They are just that metal I guess lol.

I really enjoyed this game for the gameplay as much as the story. It's a satisfying loop to prepare for a long trek, go on an adventure where it can be calm one moment and terrifying the next, and then arrive at your destination hopefully with your cargo intact. I might be biased a bit having been a postman, but I enjoyed a game with a crazy high stakes story where the gameplay is largely delivering packages.

Granted it’s been a long time since I’ve played this game but it feels like the person has included a lot of the side quests and gear tutorials that aren’t actually related to the story!

You'd be surprised how much Sam can carry on his back 😂, it can be stacked really high, not to mention how he can carry 4 extra cargo on both his arms and legs, I tend to stack it really high every time.

I hope naming characters doesn't spoil it for you Kai. Diehardman, Deadman, Heartman. Once is an incident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern. Diehardman, Deadman, Heartman, Mama, Lockne, Fragile, Higgs, Sam, Amelie, Bridget and Clifford, so many stories within a story.

Sam being the "only one" capable of linking the settlements is because repatriates are extremely rare. It tries to show you at the start with the truck ride what happens when normal people try to do deliveries. A voidout in the wrong place means a colony becomes inaccessible forever. Like literally everything else it's explained in emails in game, a repatriates soul is able to find it's way back from the beach to their body after being eaten by a BT, meaning no voidout.

Troy Baker is the G.O.A.T!!

Higgs (the guy with the mask) portrayed by Troy baker, they showed his name when presenting the character. He is the same voice actor who plays Joel in TLOU. He is amazing in this game and I believe that's why you like the Higgs character when he appeared in this video. Love your reactions and cinema insight on videogames.

It very much is world building overload.

Kai Zammit

You are right with the overload of information one after the other. When I played it was just too much to take it and in the end I stopped listening or making the effort to understand what they were saying. This was the only thing I disliked and they could have cut half of it out or found better ways to deliver it!

Thank you Arun! I'm actually another whole episode in front of this but I think I'm going to go with your recommendation. The reason being is in the next video, I start to moan about the game or how it's all progressing so if it's preferred by you guys to keep it shorter, I'll do it!

Ngl the playthrough you're watching has WAY TOO MUCH gameplay (also side quests) and I wouldn't be surprised if it's starting to feel boring to you as well. I'd recommend switching over to a different video for this game. Ep 1 was fine since the beginning of the game is very cutscene heavy but ep2 feels like a rough watch. You can switch over to this one, you're at the 2:08:00 mark https://youtu.be/PuIaNTHrEDQ?si=0r-IAHWUT6ieCjci
