Play a demo or see some gameplay videos before buying this game.

Some like it, some hate it. personally, found the story somewhat interesting but gameplay mechanisms were too repetitive (walking around everywhere) and became bored with the game somewhat quickly.

I don't care what anyone says about this game. I loved it. I was disappointed when the "directors cut" content was only available on PS5. I felt that was a slap in the face. Playing this on PC is strange with all the new content I didn't know about coming from the PS4. I would buy it again if I didn't already have it for this price.

Yes next week. This purchase shows it includes the DLC so you won't need to purchase that separately which is $9.99. So the base game is $4. I have seen some stuff referencing Half Life playing now on PC which I have not seen on the PS4 unless that came out last week.

Just want to echo the initial comments — if you haven't played a Hideo Kojima game before, there's information you should know in advance of purchase.

His games have always, always, always been about storytelling first. He is basically a movie director who decided games were the best medium for his creativity. Secret government cabals, the power of the financial elite / 1%, social media and misinformation damaging society — these are all topics his games have been about, often years before the problem becomes obvious to the main stream.

Even this game (MINOR SPOILERS), released in **November 2019**, is about an America after a major virus that has totally isolated and disconnected it's citizens. Now the nation depends on delivery services to brave the dangers of the world to maintain any semblance of society.

So if you're open to playing a work of art that has interesting, unique gameplay to move the story from beat to beat, then Death Stranding is a great purchase for $15. ($14 on Eneba). If you wanna run and gun, climb walls and parachute over nuclear explosions like an 80s action movie, you should look elsewhere

It says DLC, not Director's Cut, unless they meant one in the same, it's hard to tell from the language on their site.

Either way, if you already own the base game the Director's Cut upgrade is indeed $9.99, not a free upgrade unfortunately.

This game is very much a walking simulator with a wacked out (but very good) story. I'm not sure I'd keep playing it/play it again for another $10 though.

Well whichever it is. I have access to Silver and Gold items now on PC, which is also part of the PS5 directors cut content. So I assumed that DLC was the directors cut.

Thanks for clarifying, so what's posted in the OP is *NOT* the Director's Cut, if that's what you're looking for, this deal isn't it!

Seems a good deal for those who want the PC DC. $14.09 plus $9.99 is $24.08. Cheapest I've seen of the PS5 DC on Amazon is $37.30, which is what it is now.

Utterly bananas game. I got to the end on PS4,but had to quit due to work when it came out. Im Picking it up on PC to restart. Ill give my mild mannered gamer thoughts on it as I like Dark Souls as much as I like games like Far Cry and Days Gone. This is actually the only kojima game Ive ever played. I believe hes the metal gear solid guy, but Ive never played those.

The story is borderline obtuse but the main character is fairly empathetic. Essentially the world of dead is kind of invading the living and theres dwindling safezones. youre a courier delivering parts and messages like a postman.

The games starts fairly simple but as you progress you unlock upgrades to things like your ability to carry packages and even build roads and fast travel. There are guns, combat and bosses, but the primary game loop is traveling and building in a sort of sim like world building environment with the goal of ease of travel through dead zones where the rain kills everything the ghosts dont.

what sort of ties it together is very real feeling environments with weather effects and an absolutely haunting soundtrack. The music is insanely good.

This isnt so much an action game as something you sort of sink into, akin to virtual reality.

Id say its not for those with ADHD but I have ADHD and this sucked me in hard. I probably put in 100 hours on the PS4 version. Been waiting for a deal on PC.

Its hard for me to think of who I wouldn't recommend this to, but still it might not be for everybody. Just know its more like a Sim with action and combat than the other way around.

Hands down the best walking simulator ever made.

If you've ever dreamed of slowly walking around grassy fields or rocky hillsides but been too afraid to leave your urban tech drone apartment hive this game would be perfect for you.

I'm currently playing this on PC. I think I'm near the end (Heartman episode currently). I picked it up for $13ish a few months back.

I had heard many people say you either hate it or love it. I merely like it. Go figure.

I tend towards FPS, but do like story. Witcher 3 is a personal favorite. I also enjoyed Cyberpunk, Control, Farcry 3-5 (haven't played 6). I'd probably rate Death Stranding on par with Metro stuff. Enjoyable enough.

DS definitely has story but the basic gameplay is monotonous. You quickly learn how to skip through the 100's of brief cutscenes.

I'm playing on an ultrawide with a 3070Ti. Near max on everything. Graphics are great. The weather effects are spectacular. The acting is good. Driving mechanics sort of suck....as does the required long haul delivery missions which seem to pop up annoyingly too often. Certain missions can take a very LONG time. And don't die out on the road, you'll essentially start over.

Basically, the whole game is a grind. The world and storyline make up for it though. Its different enough to keep your interest. If you are a general sci-fi movie/tv fan, its worth a play. If not, you may want to pass.


Edit: I finished the game but was much further away from the end than I thought.

I put 56hrs into it.

Ultimately, I enjoyed it and felt I got good value for the $15ish I paid.
