  • Death Standing?

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Sat Oct 4 09:27:32 2025
    Has anyone played this game? I've been reading about it and the creator,
    sounds interesting. It's $19.99 on Steam, wondering if it's worth it.

    There's a sequel coming soon for Windows, apparently.

    depends what kind of games you like. (i played the first part on the ps4)
    i think death stranding is one of its kind. Unique. Atmospheric. Frightening. Breathtaking. Hard. Challanging. a feast for the eyes! You don't see alot of games this good.

    I say for $19,99, Go for it! You wont regret it!

    It's a pretty niche game for it's gameplay. I enjoyed it for a good amount of hours, but it does get very repetitive. For 20$ though, it's probably worth it.

    ... What was the best thing before sliced bread?

    This is one of my favorite game series of all time. I love the first one and I've beaten the second on PS5 with the Platinum Trophy. Death Stranding 2 is an absolute materpiece of a game. The first one starts off a bit slow, but once it kicks in it really goes.

    I guess I didn't play it long enough.
    Graphics : 15/10!
    Game: 4/10 (slow, took forever to get anywhere) Didn't finish it.

    I was on GAMEFLY back then, so I returned the game. Loved the graphics, though! More games can be like that if they wanted to spend time and money doing so.

    To be fair, this as well as most other games that Hideo Kojima had a huge part in are in a genre of their own. Most of them are fairly slow paced, while focusing on graphics and storyline. Definitely need to be a fan of that specific gameplay in order to stick with it, though..

    Metal Gear Solid for the original Playstation is still, to this day, a very memorable game for me, and I don't remember most of the games I've played. Unfortunately, after that I didn't really stick with that genre. Years later, I got Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain free with a video card I purchased at the time, thinking it was probably awesome, but couldn't get into it at the time (due to the slow pace, of course). ;)

    Regards,
    Nick

    One of my all time faves would have been GUNSHIP 2000 (PC) .. it was cool that once you made rank, you could have a 2nd air team follow way points you setup during mission brief. It also used multi-button joystick. Down side was the graphics (only VGA) versus other games with awesome graphics, but the playability wasn't as fun.

    Now I have VR and enjoy that when I can.
