Greek mythology has inspired many stories over the years including video games from God of War to Immortals Fenyx Rising . One reason for this is, even in modern times, that this southeast European country still boasts dazzling architecture. Even in this hypothetical future with much of its cities destroyed, the many towns and cities to be seen within Greece would still contain an almost otherworldly experience to them, even in a ruined state. Landmarks in Athens or the island of Crete's sense of mystery and wonder would arguably only be heightened with a post-apocalyptic design, adding to the notion that these are the remnants of a world long g
Things have been quiet at Kojima Productions since the release of Death Stranding for PS4 and the subsequent launch by 505 games that brought the title to PC. This has some fans wondering if Kojima Productions is working on a Death Stranding 2 Missions|Https://Deathstranding2World.Com/ Stranding sequel , either picking up directly after the ending of the original, or exploring the stories of other characters during the same t
For those who are going into Death Stranding completely blind, let me give you a brief introduction without spoiling too much. You control Sam Porter Bridges, a legendary delivery man traveling lonesome across a dangerous post-apocalyptic United States, completing delivery orders and digitally connecting America’s remaining establishments. Sam’s job might sound boring, but there is no shortage of tense moments in Death Stranding ; any given footstep could be your last as cargo-hungry thieves, the unforgiving environment, and invisible enemies known as BTs are all out for blood. Who knew that being a mailman could be the most difficult job in the entire coun
Arguably the closest thing the video game industry has to the Oscars or the Emmys is The Game Awards . Each year, a group of industry insiders and journalists come together to vote on which games should win in a variety of categories. The winners are announced in December at The Game Awards , which has been hosted by video game journalist Geoff Keighley since its inception in 2
Should Death Stranding 2 still take place on the western hemisphere, moving the setting just south of the States in the tropical landscape of Brazil would prove to offer a much brighter visual presentation than the first game. For one, Brazil's Atlantic coastline which stretches for 4,700-kilometers is lined with beautiful golden sand beaches right next to the roar of the ocean, which is perfect for Death Stranding 's often-mesmerizing locations . Much like Greece above, seeing highly populated locations like Rio de Janeiro being completely empty would make for a chilling setting to explore and this isn't even mentioning the lush Amazonian rain forests, comprised of thick plant life and interconnected river passa
Many gamers will be tuning in to The Game Awards 2019 to see which game won the coveted Game of the Year, but others will be tuning in for the world premieres. The Game Awards has gained a reputation for being an event where major new game announcements take place, with this year's event promising at least 10 world premiere reveals for gamers to look forward
So, there's a strange turning point that comes after reaching the first of Cliff Unger's war beaches, where the player is suddenly given the ability to kill enemies with the introduction of lethal weapons. However, as Kojima Productions writes through the gameplay , the lack of ludonarrative dissonance means that the player is heavily punished for killing enemies, but is given almost no reward for doing so. It's a positive in a storytelling sense, but leaves the player with all these weapon options that are really meaningless and could be explored further to give a stronger risk/reward factor for straight up mur
Death Stranding’s controls also map really well onto the mouse and keyboard. Every keybind feels intuitive and those who prefer a controller can still easily plug one in and enjoy the game that way. The mouse and keyboard controls even include some quality of life changes that PS4 players would’ve loved; for example, you can now skip cutscenes and any short animations like Sam’s frequent showers without entering any menus. My only real complaint thus far is a small one; the loading screen when first launching the game up takes about 90 seconds. However, all other loading screens are pretty short, so you only have to sit through that load once per sitt
I’ve obviously never played the PS4 version of Death Stranding , and I’m sure that I’m far from completing its 40-hour campaign, but nothing I’ve experienced so far stops me from claiming that PC is now the definitive place to play Death Stranding . The game is visually stunning, controls well, and runs immaculately; so far I’d say it was well worth the seven month wait. However, I still have a few hundred more orders to complete; one of which is my review of Death Stranding’s PC version which I’ll be carefully delivering to DualShockers readers later this mo
