I feel invested... it feels like a real experience, somehow. I feel I'm really helping and making a difference in these dumb NPCs lives.
The music is great, the acting is fantastic... the story is bonkers, yet feels real/plausible.
I'm 12 hours in and as of now I'd give the game an 8.8 out of 10. I have quite a bit of game play to go, and I'll update my rating when I mostly complete it.

Hmm sounds like I really need to give this one another go. Honestly I didn't give it a fair shot, was consumed/in the middle of Devil May Cry 5 and RE2 when this came out, but all this positive feedback makes me think I should revisit....

Yeah man... I can see how if you're invested in other, more immediately excitable games, it could be hard to get into Death Stranding. I was playing only Rocket League for quite a while before deciding to delve into a deep game.
This game requires a lot of patience and investment. Really invest some time and attention and patience and it pays off. For me it's not a the normal "fun", catchy game (especially at first), but more of a work of art. It works on some ingenious levels in critiquing the gamer himself and the world we currently inhabit. But don't get me wrong, after it gets its hooks into you, I think it's a lot of fun too.

I've been playing when the toddler naps and then when we put him down for good. So, when I was home all day with him, it was 1.5/2 hr sessions (twice in a day if I was lucky), and then about 3/3.5 hours at night, when Raz lets me. (She's rewarding me for not drinking lately). The time flies. As I said, I'm hooked and I hate putting the controller down. Saving is super convenient. You can pretty much save whenever you want.Monkey_Driven wrote:tree_ wrote:Revelator wrote:tree_ wrote:I'm officially hooked on this game. Been a long time since I've felt this hooked.

How long are your play sessions with it? What's the saving situation?
