I played the first few hours last night, and am already loving it. Much to my delight, everything from Director's Cut is in the game as default now, from the new combat features, having VR training missions that are all pretty fun, and some new training features, including a really cool new training feature straight out of Streets of Rage 4, where you can spawn any enemy you encounter for one on one combat training. You also now have a shooting range to try out any weapons you unlock. I'm hoping that means boss replay is back too. I see the toy shelf but haven't fought any bosses or BT's yet so I can't say.

The dynamic weather events dialed up to 11 too, which makes route mapping that much more invaluable when your vision gets obstructed. One sandstorm got so bad and so aggressive that I was hoping some BT's would show up to snatch me away to safety.

The intro is already peak. Love the music.

I’ve only played a couple of hours but yeah I’m loving it. Great opening sequence. I feel quite distrustful of the game right now though. Everything is feeling too normal!

The weather system seems really cool though.

My friend who was super excited for the game didn’t realise it wasn’t releasing on PC yet. Feel so bad for him hahahahah

My controller arrived yesterday and the CE only around noon on the 24th. Think in these couple of days I´ve put in a good 20 hours and am now near the end of episode 3. Have been messing around a lot and will continue to do that as always lol. No rush.

I made it to episode 3 last night. I like it even more than the first game so far, it's just an improvement in all areas for me.

You make a very compelling argument.

So far I’ve only beat Chapter 1 but I’m finding it great. The stuff that’s purposefully absent that we’re used to from Death Stranding’s gameplay loop really does leave an impact. Chapter 1 was very familiar but I’m so eager to see where the story goes; that ending really got me excited.

Much like DS1 I’m constantly getting sidetracks with found cargo or requests despite wanting to find out what happens next in the story. A porter’s work is never done!

I only played an hour yesterday evening then started falling asleep after what was a very draining week so I had to put it down despite not wanting to. Have to say falling asleep while playing Death Stranding compared to a football game is quite different, with the latter I can lose a game in an instant, with this I found myself so close to falling off of cliff sides and probably destroying my entire loads!

One very early question but I'll put it in tags anyway:

Spoiler:

Why is there an option to reject Fragile's mission request when it just restarts the whole cutscene to get you to say yes instead?

I did wonder what would happen. Does she even get to respond or does it just reload? Pretty standard practice to let players see the character just be like “no” and then make them do it anyway but you’d think it would just have Fragile convince him instead of restarting.
