You will feel like an Amazon delivery driver in the apocalypse without a car. The triggers are used for leaning left or right as you take one step at a time. You should expect to go into this with the patience of a saint. It also starts exceptionally slow, even by this game's standards. Then there's long cutscenes as well.

I've heard enough people gush about the game after it gets going that I genuinely do believe them that it gets good eventually. But I bailed after about 4 hours. One of these days I'll give it another shot.

OMG that sounds horrible, but then I am not a patient person. I think it's probably a decent get for PC Game Pass players that want to play it. It seems like a lot of people really like the game.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Not on Xbox game pass?

WTF

PC gets all Xbox game pass games but Xbox don't get PC game pass?

At this point MS should quit console business

There’s no Xbox version of the game.

It’s PC and PlayStation only.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Not really.

Sure. Ive already seen people who hated on the game, celebrating it coming to gamepasss lol

 

[Kokoloko85]

Why should it change? How many people do you know that called it Walking Sim and love it now? I know what you mean and that works both sides, but it's not even coming to Xbox just to Pc.

Because people are biased fanboys. Ive already seen it lol. It works both ways Im not denying it

 

[Kokoloko85]

Still is. They would have to pay me to play it.

I loved it apart from the shooting in the historic battle modes.
Some people just prefer different things.

People would need to pay me to play Witcher 3 and Mario Galaxy again lol, its just different tastes

 

[Kokoloko85]

His post really backfired

Sure it did? Because 3 people didnt agree doesnt mean my comment isn’t true lol. I wasn’t expecting it to be celebrated

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Sure. Ive already seen people who hated on the game, celebrating it coming to gamepasss lol

Console war Twitter doesn't count.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Console war Twitter doesn't count.

It all counts lol

 

[adamsapple]

Kokoloko85

my dude you're trying too hard, relax.

 

[JackMcGunns]

So the like 8 people that haven't played it yet will be happy I guess.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Kokoloko85

my dude you're trying too hard, relax.

Lol how am I trying? Its a simple opinion. People change there mind on the game when its now on their platform.
I think you guys are trying too hard to deny a simple thing

 

[AtomicStarving]

Jimbo is doing a good job at putting ps exclusives everywhere

 

[Bernd Lauert]

It all counts lol

Nope. The entire point of console war Twitter is to be the most obnoxious console warrior you can possibly be. Nobody there is an actual person with congruent thoughts. So no, it doesn't count. If you want to make your point, find a real person who "changed their mind".

 

[rofif]

OMG that sounds horrible, but then I am not a patient person. I think it's probably a decent get for PC Game Pass players that want to play it. It seems like a lot of people really like the game.

Don't listen to them.
It' the best, most innovative, unique game recently. At least it's not just another fkn shooter. We should cherish that.
Just look at this game! If you don't have to, you don't need to walk too much.
You can drive multiple vehicles and use other means of deliveries and devices.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Sure. Ive already seen people who hated on the game, celebrating it coming to gamepasss lol

As they should. It's a Sony IP getting more exposure for its eventual sequel on PS5.

Sony will be thankful for that.

Ok your right, no1 has changed there mind on this topic…… and twitter people aren’t actual people anymore

 

[Bernd Lauert]

I put a good few hours into it. Really wanted to like it. Loved the idea but just didn't enjoy my time. Different strokes.

I wonder what happened lmao, straight perma ban.

 

[Blade2.0]

Is this director's cut or OG bc Director's cut is on PS Plus already.

 

[Kerotan]

For whatever reason they didn't choose to pick up the PC version and 505 Publishing took over that versions publishing rights.

The same extended to the Director's Cut, so if this is coming to game pass, it'll be via 505 games, not Sony.

Yeah I'd say Sony of today regret not publishing it. They're much more pro pc now.

 

[yamaci17]

i wonder if it will support full dualsense support like it does on Steam
playing this game with adaptive triggers / haptic feedback was a great experience.

 

[Kilau]

yes and Shakespeare in Love beat Saving Private Ryan.

Yes that’s almost as bad as Sekiro beating Death Stranding at TGAs.

 

[yamaci17]

Holy shit, nearly picked up the directors cut the other day!

This is perfection. Will give it a go.

lol lucky u
i purchased game
1 month later they announced pc release of directors cut
i decided to wait
paid extra for upgrade for dualsense + directors goodies
completed the game just 2 weeks ago
now it hits game pass

LMAO

Hey y'all I was the sacrificial lamb for this game to land on game pass lol

i'm not mad more people should experience thismasterpiece

After a couple hours you also get vehicles, exoskeletons and other things to improve mobility but the main draw for me was that you could collaborate with others to change the world map by building infrastructure like bridges, jump ramps, ladders, ropes, zip lines, cannons to shoot packages, roads etc.

There’s a sense of conquering the world and rebuilding the civilization which is completely unique and also integrated to the story itself.

That said I fully understand and respect why people hate it, it’s not for everyone and can be repetitive. But there’s more to it than just walking and balancing.

 

[Topher]

Apparently he was being "intolerant human garbage".

This gif has nothing to do with it, but I felt the need to post it....

 

[EverydayBeast]

Death stranding has problems like how traverse is a chore, the backtracking etc.

 

[The_Mike]

Sure. Ive already seen people who hated on the game, celebrating it coming to gamepasss lol

Quote them for me.

Also, it's not necessarily the same people.
I still think it's shit.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Lol how am I trying? Its a simple opinion. People change there mind on the game when its now on their platform.
I think you guys are trying too hard to deny a simple thing

What new platform is the game on? Death Stranding has been available on PC for a long while now.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

As they should. It's a Sony IP getting more exposure for its eventual sequel on PS5.

Sony will be thankful for that.

Anyone who played the game on PC will most likely play a potential sequel on PC as well.

 

[adamsapple]

Damn, not even a post link ?

So long San Diego.

Completely agreed with the both of you. When the game and story opens up, it's literally like "a whole new game."

But I can also see it not being for everyone. Especially the style of games we've been conditioned with over the past 2 decades. Those who seek out obscure Indy games for unique innovations to gameplay and story telling may have more of an appreciation for it.

 

[vito_don_corleone_]

That's a massive stretch to say it comes to Gamepass...

 

[Bridges]

Please be true

 

[SmokedMeat]

What new platform is the game on? Death Stranding has been available on PC for a long while now.

Yep. If anything it’s merely people happy that they can now give it a shot, without buying it.

 

[ChoosableOne]

I'm glad that Gamepass users won't have to pay extra for this borefest. Worst purchase I've ever made.

 

[Magic Carpet]

My Old GTX 1080 is going to cry mercy trying to play this game isn't it.

 

[yamaci17]

My Old GTX 1080 is going to cry mercy trying to play this game isn't it.

if ure at 1080p u will easily get 60 + fps

1440p might need some tweaking

 

[SLB1904]

Don't get your hopes up.

Game is trash.

Your opinion is trash

 

[Kokoloko85]

Quote them for me.

Lol no.
Im just gonna pretend you guys are right and that no1 has changed there mind since the news

 

[SmurfMustard]

Lol no.
Im just gonna pretend you guys are right and that no1 has changed there mind since the news

Kokolores, you look really weird with your tail between you legs. Making accusations and not backing them up. Sit back down you failed your team.

Do we have anything more to go by than the Twitter post?

 

[The_Mike]

Lol no.

No problem i get your dignity is too high to admit you are wrong.

Easier to say no then admit there aren't any to quote.

 

[Kokoloko85]

No problem i get your dignity is too high to admit you are wrong.

Easier to say no then admit there aren't any to quote.

No its just simply cant be bothered to go and look at stuff. Im too lazy.
Im not saying Its everyone, Ive seen a couple of people on twitter etc, its not really a big deal

 

[The_Mike]

No its just simply cant be bothered to go and look at stuff. Im too lazy.
Im not saying Its everyone, Ive seen a couple of people on twitter etc, its not really a big deal

And you know these people are the same people who first say death Stranding was bad?

 

[onnextflix5]

Didn’t Xbox fans say this game is garbage? Like WTF happened .

 

[Calverz]

This game always looked pretty boring to me. But guess I can try it out since it’s free.

 

[Fbh]

Cool.
The game is very unique and while it can be fun it's definitely not for everyone, so this is a good chance for Gamepass subscribers to check it out and see if it clicks with them.

Personally I liked the unique world, plot and characters but I never got too much into the actual gameplay. I actually think they could have cut back on the action and done more with the traversal. It felt like it was often too easy to reach the destination just going in a straight line. I'd have liked to have to do more route planning and going through places where I have to make smart use of my tools and gadgets to reach the destination.

[The_Mike]

I don't know which comments you read, but people still say it.

 

[mcjmetroid]

Ya I really didn't..'get'.. This game.

I wanted to like it a lot more because how often do you get truly original AAA games but honestly it was not for me.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Mephisto40]

I can't help but notice the vast majority of people who have an issue with this game seem to have nintendo avatars...
