huh? new story? how come? i love DS and it is one of my favorite games last generation but i can't see how they can add a new story since the last hour and a half of the game is character giving monologs and explaining everything 
also? is there any way for them to bring norman, seydoux and mikkelsen on board again?

you are going to love it. kojima basically called what would happened in 2020 a year early. you are basically an essential worker delivering packeges across USA(iceland more like) to people who are forced to stay home. its awsome imo
it has to be waaay after right? they can't add a prequel story with out seydoux, mikkelsen and wagner.
give it a one more try. the game and the map really opens up after 3rd chapter and i don't know, i really understand and like the online aspect of people as a whole helping one another.

Yeah, a lot of those explanations didn’t leave a whole lot of wondering what happened before the DS. I can’t even imagine what people were doing before the DS happened. Mama’s story especially. Go shopping with Mama? The events of each character helped create the character you meet and get to know along the way. Would it even be all that interesting to know any of them before? Post-game would be interesting, especially if something catastrophic happens. I have no place to question the brilliant minds at Kojima Productions. I don’t think I’d even want to know Cliff before the events of DS because he’s shown in such a way that his past events made him who he was.huh? new story? how come? i love DS and it is one of my favorite games last generation but i can't see how they can add a new story since the last hour and a half of the game is character giving monologs and explaining everything

2 hours in. I like the story, visuals and the whole walking thing isn't that bad so far, I almost like it. "It's like a puzzle you solve with your feet" . Biggest issue so far is getting lost in menus inside menus. Just outfitting your character before a mission is a nightmare. We shall see.
I still feel this was a bad time to start the game though, I hope the PS5 announcement comes soon or at least there's a save transfer.

I get tempted to play Death Stranding from time to time, but I can't get past the fact that its been compared to a open world Postman Pat game.

ugh, UI in that game is awful and confusing as hell espacially in the begining where you don't have much experience with it. Also be patient with uploading packeges and recyling they tend to be a slog.
give it a go. it is much more than just delivering packeges. writing is cheesy as hell though but story is not so bad with an impactful twist at the end.I get tempted to play Death Stranding from time to time, but I can't get past the fact that its been compared to a open world Postman Pat game.
music is awsome though. both the ost and low roar songs.

If it gets a ps5 upgrade I'll bite. To be honest there is more I like about the game than dislike.

Death Stranding is awesome. Sure, it has unique mechanics, but it's an adventure game at the end of the day, in my mind. There's action, drama, danger, thrills.

Is it going to come with a PS5 upgrade pack?

I got up to the boss fight with Mads Mikkelson in the trenches and never got any further. Might have to go back and have another pop if there's a free upgrade.

What a mature and refreshing take on disliking something.
I'd love a PS5 version of it personally. Definitely a strange game, but it's good to have studios that allow for creative development instead of the suits dictating everything.

Have they added weapons and combat? Cos that’s what this game so desperately needs.

What can they possibly add? I loved Death Stranding, but idk about buying it again like P5R for some DLC. Its also one of those games that I won't be able to go back to for a few years.
Guess I'll pick it up when its on sale on Steam.

Urgh, only consoles? I have it on PS4 so better be a free update. Not paying and it will be hard going down to 60fps (from 141fps) if it even gets that on PS5.

If anything, this game needs a "combat-free" mode. No BT's, no Mules. Just you and the landscape.

YES exactly !
Combat free, no BT's mode where You just walk/drive/whatever over difficult terrain. The game is so ZEN it's amazing.
It helps that I also enjoy the ladders, boots, ropes and all the survival items management. Great game.
As for extended edition only on consoles? I play the game 4k120 DLSS quality, max settings, hdr oled on pc... But if they add at least 4k60 and some dualsense support? sure

Game always had weapons and combat. But you missed the game message and plot, if you think thats what the game needs.

Kojima seems to prefer PC, so I'm sure it'll get a steam release.
tbh Death Stranding seemed fundamentally and deeply designed around the DualShock controller.
Unless you mean he enjoys the DualShock controller on PC, which I kinda do too.
I'm surprised if Kojima is on record with naming a 'favorite platform', and then slightly more surprised if he named a favorite platform and it wasn't PlayStation.

Seriously, so many elements of the gameplay make sense when you consider the dual sense

No I got it. Good message. Dull game. I’m happy to admit I just don’t really enjoy walking simulators. I like them for about a bit (as I did with DS). But I get bored very quickly.Game always had weapons and combat. But you missed the game message and plot, if you think thats what the game needs.
DS had so much going for a it. Great world, great acting, great mood and tone. Interesting premise (although the idea that the fate of the entire world was linked exclusively to America was a bit off for me). But once I gpast that and into the minute to minute gameplay. I couldn’t play gif more than a few hours.
such a Shane Missed opportunity for me

Oh and it’s worth pointing out I completely get why some people really enjoyed the game and even love it. There’s a lot to love there. But just for me I need more meat on my games. I can enjoy a zen moment in a game but not for longer than a bit. Then I need me some action. It’s why I struggle with narrative heavy adventure games these days. (You’d think I’d get more into them as I got older but the opppsite seems to be true)??

I really want to love this game and need to try it again at some point. It just didn’t grab me like his other games.
