Keep building those roads!

Now I'm building road 2s!

And I've got good at farming bts. Need gold fingers to power my mines.

I'm shocked I haven't encountered that joke yet in game. Kojima has a lot of funky stuff here.

I finished every single monorail

Kinda fun to get an order to connect a new place to the network, and I can just take the already finished monorail there. Still episode 8.

I haven't had much time to play but hoping to this weekend a lot. I think I'm in episode 6, maybe 7

I can see that.

I'm 70 hours in and while I'm loving it, it's so so so so similar to the first. It feels like replaying the first most of the time, not playing a new game.

I mean it is a sequel. Lol

No it feels more like a reflection at times. I'm not just talking about game mechanics.

Credits rolling, ~95 hours.

Great ending, incredible game. I just wish early and mid were also as awesome.

I'm still on Episode 7 or 8. Just over 30 hours so far. Played somewhat last weekend but hope to play a shame ton this weekend. Suppose to be cloudy and rainy here so good excuse to stay in all day.

Been looking up vids of others playing it. Two spoiler free points.

I think the game's biggest flaw is that I played the first. I knew what to expect mechanic wise so I zeroed in on that end game strategy even from hour one. And while I enjoyed doing that, the early game of Death Stranding is what was the most exciting imo.

Secondly, my love for the game overall has only grown. Meta needs to go back up! 11/10!!!

Yeah, gameplay was too easy. I should have forced myself to play in a more fun way instead of just driving everywhere. I only ever built one non tutorial structure in the entire game! A generator
