Good for them, fuck Sony

It’s interesting that it specifically mentions the Series X. My understanding is that anything released on Series X must also run on the Series S.

Yeah, I think this is just an oversight. It says X and S on the store page.

It’s because xbox’s naming scheme is fucking stupid.

This is great news. Death Stranding is in my all time top 10 so highly recommend it to anyone tempted on Xbox.

I bought it last year but I abandoned it after only a few hours. I have to give it another chance.

B0NK3RS@lemmy.world on 07 Nov 17:11 next collapse

Honestly the first few hours are a bit of a chore but keep going.

Death Stranding is one of my favorite examples of how many ideas are out there to make games out of without resorting to making a game loop revolve around violence.

I don’t know I violently fell very often in that game…

Eh…I struggled through the second half…it wasn’t worth it. So many convoluted cut scenes to tell you what the last convoluted cut scene just said.

The delivering part is actually fun tho. The cut scenes are confusing but they don’t really take that long so it’s fine for me.

chakan2@lemmy.world on 08 Nov 13:23 collapse

Really? That scene where you’re lost on the beach was at least 45 minutes. It may have been hours…I’d get to the next part, the cut scene would start and Id put up with it for 5 minutes then go mow the grass or something. That was painful to get through.

Well ya that was really bad. But it was just that 1 time (also it’s with the credit roll) so I’m going to let it slide. I also started reading a book at that part tho.

PunchingWood@lemmy.world on 07 Nov 20:21 collapse

I recently tried it and only got through the first chapter before giving up, it’s just not fun to me.

Same. I think i could have enjoyed the gameplay but the horror aspect and overall vibe was too offputting.

Play Death Stranding needs to be patient
