505 bringing the next gen upgrade tax to PCs.

Their Control Ultimate scheme on consoles was scummy enough.

 

[Meraxes]

What was added in the Director's Cut?

505 bringing the next gen upgrade tax to PCs.

Their Control Ultimate scheme on consoles was scummy enough.

At least in this case it's not just a remaster. There is some added content so I can justify the $10 a bit.

 

[ShaikhCroft]

*Came in just to check which game's director's cut we were talking about!*

 

[JLB]

Shit title.

 

[Skifi28]

Kojima's stranding: a Kojima game made by kojima: Kojima's cut edition.

 

[SlimySnake]

What was added in the Director's Cut?

Race tracks, a few side missions, lots of arena challenges.

 

[TintoConCasera]

For those that have played it, is thw upgrade worth it for ten bucks? I still have the game in the backlog.

 

[Damigos]

What was added in the Director's Cut?

Got me

[BennyBlanco]

For $10 I'll bite

 

[MDSLKTR]

To me the inclusion of jump ramps and a jetpack is Kojima basically admitting that his game fucking sucks.

lol, truth.

 

[3liteDragon]

Thought this was already out for some reason.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Another win for the GeForce leak

 

[ImmersiveProjection]

I don't know if I appreciate this marketing trick of calling this edition of the game "Director's Cut", because if I recall correctly, Hide Kojima had a total creative control with "Death Stranding" to begin with, why was this release branded as "Director's Cut"? If I am wrong, please correct me, because I don't want to be right in this case with my assumption that it was a pure marketing trick.

 

[Zimmy68]

Hmm, so might be worth it to pick up a $14 cheap key of the standard version and do a $10 upgrade.

 

[YukiOnna]

Glad I waited out to see if they would release it on PC. Definitely picking it up.

 

[kyliethicc]

Another win for the GeForce leak

Yup even the release date was legit.

 

[Pejo]

Well I bought the game on sale on Steam, so I guess I should try it first, but 10 dollars for the upgrade is fine in my book.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Some people need to start a onlyfans, complaining about $10 DLC.

 

[Zimmy68]

It is actually only $11 if you buy it on Epic Games. Not a bad deal.
Should I buy now but wait to play it when the DC releases?

 

[remember_spinal]

so much for pc games getting free upgrades

 

[BigBooper]

The additions look fun. To me the whole package looks like a $10-15 game still. Maybe I don't really understand what the game is.

 

[Kenpachii]

Its not a update if its 10 bucks. its a expansion / dlc

 

[Guilty_AI]

so much for pc games getting free upgrades

tbf, this upgrade has actual new content so its kinda like DLC.

I ain't getting it though. The new stuff looks really pointless. Why the hell do i want a racing track in a game about delivering stuff?

 

[IchibanKasuga21]

Fantastic game. I don't recommend it for brainless ignorant people who think video games have to always be about shooting, hitting and jumping all the time.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Fantastic game. I don't recommend it for brainless ignorant people who think video games have to always be about shooting, hitting and jumping all the time.

 

[IchibanKasuga21]

Whatever. Do not care.

 

[Novacain]

Meh, this should have been a free update when considering what the "director's cut" actually brings to the game.

I really dislike this trend of publishers abusing crossgen as an opportunity to gouge fans by turning patches into a new kind of MTX.

 

[GreatnessRD]

I'm nowhere near finished the game, but I'll cop for $10.

 

[Honey Bunny]

This thing is full of shit that should have been free

 

[poodaddy]

Fantastic game. I don't recommend it for brainless ignorant people who think video games have to always be about shooting, hitting and jumping all the time.

This has been IchibanKasuga21 for Death Stranding, a game that includes shooting, hitting, and jumping.

 

[IchibanKasuga21]

This has been IchibanKasuga21 for Death Stranding, a game that includes shooting, hitting, and jumping.

But not "all the time" as I said.
The focus is on traversal and its optimization with structures and items. Something unconventional.

It's only a $10 game if this is a game you're not really into.

If this is a game you'll like it's good enough and long enough to justify spending $100 on it.
