I never finished this game, but damn did i enjoy how relaxing it was
Relaxing!? For me it’s like the movie Running scared. the moment my porter boots touch grass I’m sanic, miss me with that time rain and stranding zones i can deliver packages all day just try hittin’ me.
I thought it was really relaxing… until it suddenly is super stressful. By the time you finish the game the stressful parts aren’t an issue anymore though.
i had like 4 strokes the first time i started getting pulled into the inky abyss 12/10 would porter again.
My take on this game: I don’t understand the hype. You just have to carry stuff on your backpack between places, stumbling like a drunken idiot.
Sorry, I played many games over the years but can’t find anything in this to get me hooked.
Gameplay wise, it’s looks fucking boring.
Everything else-wise, this is the probably closest we’re gonna get to Kojima making a film.
They’re adapting the game into a movie, it was announced quite recently IIRC

I don’t understand why a movie instead of, at least, a mini series…
I always wished they’d make a Yakuza miniseries. Hopefully this trend of film/show adaptations of video games continues.
Get Uwe Boll on it, stat!
Have you played the game? While true, you can boil down the game to “you deliver packages” there’s a lot more to it. There’s planning your equipment and weight distribution, evaluating the best route and adapting when something unexpected shows up, the give and take of the social strand system, etc.
It’s for sure not a game for everyone and I don’t begrudge anyone who says they don’t enjoy it but the one liner that pretty much everyone boils it down to does a disservice when describing how much is actually involved

This is total sales? Kinda reads like concurrent players which would be wild.
I got it for free on Epic, tried it, and uninstalled it after the first Monster Energy ad. Fuck that shit.
Monster Energy AD? For real?
Yes. This post apocalyptic wasteland in the far future is littered with cans of Monster Energy drink which act as healing potions. So it’s not like you can avoid them either.
Yep, it’s the most shameless ad I’ve ever seen built into a video game.
New studio, they had to get financing from somewhere, worst case get the director’s cut upgrade whenever it’s on sale, it cost me 5$, so I got 100h of gameplay for 5$.
Nah, pass. I’m soured on the game now. And there’s a ton of other great games to play.
I got the game for $7 on fanatical last week and yesterday whenever I was playing it, I went to go take a dumb and there was an ad for an AMC show.
Really took me out of it tbh.
As I said, no ads in the director’s cut and otherwise, new studio so gotta get funding somehow… They didn’t use a funding platform as far as I remember
Bro I was playing on the director’s cut.
The context of the conversation was the director’s cut so I didn’t think I had to specify.
Also these companies get private investing for the games they create. The ads just sound like long-term monetization of a product. ‘Passive income,’ some would say lol. They’re definitely not paying for their next games with ads on a 4 year old game if that’s what your implying
I just have the base, original game on PC, and the energy drinks are just made up generic shit. I have seen the Monster Energy ad (as well as RayBan and other products Sam uses) from the game elsewhere, but always thought it was just a meme.
