I know i said i would give you my impressions on Death Stranding Yesterday but i held off, because after playing it for a while my opinión has changed drastically.



I'm actually addicted to it now, i mean... Sure the core gameplay Is literally delivering stuff but Kojima and his team managed to actually make it compelling to the point that I'm hooked, that being said i dont know if i can recommend it to anyone i know, because even though we have similar tastes in gaming im still not sure if this is something you would enjoy.



This game needs a demo and a long one so people can see for themselves whats appealing about the gameplay and if it's something they enjoy, because the thing is... I only really started to enjoy it after the 5th hour when i learned and integrated all the games mechanics into the way i was playing, and from there on i started going for higher rewards and leveling up my character by being as efficient as possible with each delivery, (delivering a lot of cargo at the same time, in perfect conditions and as fast as possible).



One of my original complaints was that the game had too many cutscenes versus the amount of gameplay, a criticism Kojima has recieved for almost all of his games and one i never shared before, except for this time because the beginning of this game is way too heavy on the cutscenes, and i was worried the whole game would be like this but i realized after playing it for longer that it was just the intro that had that problem, the rest of the game has a normal gameplay to cutscenes ratio.



Anyway i dont know if i will be able to reccomend this game to anyone but i am enjoying it.

What can you say about the world exploration?
Like, if I pick it up and want to forget the main mission and want to explore a mountain or something, will I find any kind of meaningful reward for doing so? Like a bonus event, a rare item that can be interesting to use (not just for money) and stuff like that.
Horizon Zero Dawn had some good stuff to find exploring the world as trials (forgot how they are called), new enemies, side story content and some items, sadly the gameplay items were a bit too much of the same, tho, but it was good fun searching for stuff.
Does Death Stranding have any of this?

on 11 November 2019

By exploring you can find different paths to your objective, some rare materials to craft all sort of ítems, and lost packages by other players that you can deliver for extra experience points.

The terrain Is there to mostly just challenge you.

on 11 November 2019

But do any of those items or packages add anything to the game?
Are those rare materials there so you can make some cool weapon or some gear with nice gameplay benefits (aside from stats).

on 11 November 2019

Yes you can make weapons and structures with those items.

Of course its entirely optional, you dont need to explore and find packages and materials to craft weapons and structures because you can get whats necessary to make them by just playing the story, however its not like you are gonna ignore what you find in the wild because the more you have the better.

if you find a package then delivering it will give you EXP and if you find materials... well the more the better since you are trying to not run out of them.

The thing is this game is not about getting THE gun or THE item, like in some RPGs but instead its about a cycle of continuous progression, i will try and explain it with an example.

You get materials so you can craft structures, said structures make deliveries easier and the more efficient you are in those deliveries the more exp you get.

And the more exp you get the more structures and items become available to you, which again allows you to make your deliveries easier and faster.

Rinse and repeat.

There is also a HUGE multiplayer component that is tied to leveling up, essentially when you level up you also get access to structures that other players have crafted in the world, making your trips easier and you can give those people tons of likes when you use them, which translater to experience for them, so as you can imagine your estructures can appear in other peoples games and if they like what you did then you get likes and with it EXP.

Im gonna let you in on something else, there is a shared locker in the game where players can donate anything to other players (and if they do they get rewarded with EXP), so you can get almost any item for free thanks to this, (however you can only get items you have unlocked in the story so far), That being said you CANT just rely on it because you never know whats gonna be in it, sometimes you may find something useful or even the specific item you needed and some other times you may not find anything useful, so its not like it trivializes the game or anything.

This game is very much a social experience and its not about getting the epic weapons and gear.

on 11 November 2019

Thanks for all the info.
I get you are really enjoying the game now? If so, that's great.
I still think I'll pass on it, the mechanic i found the most interesting was about the structures you leave for other people and vice versa, it reminds me of demon's souls field messages and world tendebcy from way back then haha.

on 11 November 2019

Thanks;) Same for you, Hope the next Generation is bringing the jrpg's er are still missing...

Is it a secret?

on 08 November 2019

Kind of, I guess? I'd just rather the whole internet not know who I am :P

There are likely over a million of people named the same as you, but heh, if it bugs you that's fine.

Hi. Not sure if you noticed it already but here's the article I mentioned a few days ago. http://www.vgchartz.com/article/440946/video-game-music-spotlight-11-horror-and-solitude/

on 18 October 2019 | 5 comments

Oh, thanks.
Will give it a read.

on 18 October 2019

Vyrage Embryo, huh?
I'll have to take more time to fully appreciate the other songs later, but LoD, SotC, FF7, and so many other great picks haha.

on 18 October 2019

Yeah, I thought that fits very well with the theme of the article, and its probably a track most people have never even heard.

on 18 October 2019

Didn't get back to you but I enjoy your article, thanks for sharing!

on 21 October 2019

Glad you liked it.

Girl trouble?

on 07 August 2019

Indeed.

on 07 August 2019

Well, whatever happened with you and her, and it's such a cliche, you'll be better in time. Maybe even quickly! In the meantime you have you online friends here. Plus there plenty of girls out there who can hurt you even more in the future. Make you forget all about this girl.

on 09 August 2019

Thanks.

Olar! tu ta fazendo oq da vida?

Trabalhando pakas, pqp kkkkk
Quase nao tenho jogado (fora o GrandChase no celular), mas to bem animado pra anunciarem a nona geração dos consoles.
E vc, deboas?

on 02 May 2019

Trabalhando bastante kk, porem sempre me sobra um tempo pra jogar e ver anime, já que eu trabalho em casa. No caso eu ando jogando muito Sword Art online Hollow Fragment no PC, Persona 3 no emulador de ps2, Voez de Switch e eu também comecei o Sekiro recentemente.

on 04 May 2019

Ta jogando o P3 pela primeira vez?
Jogaço!

on 04 May 2019

Eu joguei a um tempão atrás, só que eu parei na metade do game .Agora eu to jogando pelo emulador pra terminar de vez, que na real tem muita vantagem kk.

on 04 May 2019

Aé, no emulador da pra salvar a qualquer hora, alem que da pra jogar a 60 fps e em full hd com msaa (que deixa o jogo bonito pra krl).

on 04 May 2019

Salvar a qualquer horo é meio roubado, só que eu evito usar ao máximo (só uso quando eu morro em boss e quando aparece a morte lá que da medo pra krl).

on 04 May 2019

Eu ja achei o jogo lindo na emulacao do PS3 kkk.

on 04 May 2019

How are things?

on 01 April 2019 | 5 comments

Oh, hi!

Finally playing Dark Souls 3 so I can play Sekiro soon too.
How about you?

on 02 April 2019

Still playing too much Kingdom Hearts...
School's going alright.

Oh, I realized I never said anything. But I've got a 5 month old now.

on 02 April 2019

Congrats man!
Pass on the love for gaming to the new age.
Playing KH3 or doing some series round up?

on 03 April 2019

On 2.5. About halfway done then I can start 3.

on 03 April 2019

Knew it, lol.
I haven't played KH at all up until now.
Don't even know if I ever will, tho.

Yup.

on 22 December 2018

Aquele vídeo do Fallout 76 sendo "desmascarado" foi tirado do ar por "violação de direitos autorais". LOL

Ainda bem que ja assisti ele 3x kkk.

on 20 November 2018

Currently writing the LoD article. Not sure when its going to be coming out yet, but shouldn't be very far off now.

on 01 November 2018 | 2 comments

My eyes can't wait to read it!

on 01 November 2018

I'll let you know when It's going up.

SCREW YOU SONY

on 29 October 2018 | 2 comments

I wanted FFT.

on 29 October 2018

FFT would be decent, but LoD is first party, it costs them a total of zero dollars to put in there and turn it on full profit.
Sony gets to the point of absurdity to ignore the existence of their best game ever.

on 29 October 2018

You know you love it really!

on 21 October 2018 | 1 comments

It's cool and all, it even has a sombrero, but it's a stone evolution, and those have no space on my parties!
*hides Arcanine*
Honestly it's just not my favorite for either Grass or Water.

on 21 October 2018

Victor my friend how are you? we dont talk too much lately (i guess we both have busy lives now), you playing any games as of late?.



I ended up buying the statue in the end and all i have to say is







I also completely stopped playing The Witcher 3 since i wasnt having fun at all (despite how impressive it is) and it was taking me FOREVER to get anything done in the game and that plus knowing how overly long the game is (plus the expansions) meant i was looking at perhaps 6+ months of just playing this game... (that i wasnt even enjoying...)



Funny how i can find a game like Disgaea more fun than The Witcher 3 despite the former being less technically and graphically impressive not to mention the story and lore of the witcher is also more developed...



But i just wasnt having fun in the moment to moment gameplay in TW3 so... i had to stop.

Hey Esteban!
Yeah, working my ass off, how it's going for you?
I have almost dropped here until I got a New 2DS, did I ever tell you that?
I was playing 3D Dot Game Heroes and boy it was good, I was decided to not platinum it to be able to play more games but after finishing it I decided to do it, was going for it and I TV basically died on me.
I don't know if it's worth to fix it or to buy a new screen capable of 4K to be prepared for the PS5...
But I will wait for November/December deals to decide on it, so until then no PlayStation for me.
So I've been playing my New 2DS, Pokemon Y, and I have been enjoying it. But it has been really easy, I guess I should have expected that tho...
Talking about it, the New 2DS feels pretty nice, it looks nice, it gives me access to DS and 3DS library and its helping game a bit more during the week as I expected as I'm so tired I just don't want to get really invested on any game until the weekend.
But I'd really forgotten my ol' GBA days and how boring it is to have to keep constantly charging the thing to play it, battery is definitely still a big miss with handhelds.

Nice to know you got it, has it already shipped? Anyway you will get the good side of the stick out of it, keep enjoying a well made product you wanted or sell it and profit, eithet way you win, lol.

Yeah, Witcher looks gorgeus but boring, I can't really get myself excited to go and get it...
As I once told bananaking, one time I had a great opportunity to get it for a very good price and I still didn't bother to buy it and just bought nothing, lol.

And Disgaea is pure fun, it has been my favorite franchise for about 15 years now... yeah.
Disgaea may be no juggernaut to topple God of War or Horizon, but it's still remarkably up there with the best games every gen.

Sorry for the long reply, lol.

on 25 September 2018

Yeah i have never been so busy in my life until now, not only am i working hard but im also going to the Gym right after and at the same time im learning Japanese... so yeah i dont even have time for games right now.

You didnt told me about that, its cool to know that you have an alternative to console gaming, when it comes to handheld gaming i just play on my phone just Fate GO but thats because i love the franchise (hence the statue i bought) and because its actually a really great game.

If i was you i would save money for a 4k TV, unless its cheap to fix your old TV.

I preordered the Statue (they only make a limited amount) and it releases in May 2019 so i still have like 10 or 9 months before they ship it, (im not in a hurry so it isnt a problem), i dont really plan on selling it but its cool to know that if i ever did i can get a lot of money in return (due to the rarity of this sort of item plus the absurd popularity of the character).

Also dont be sorry for the long reply (i like those plus it was necessary since we havent talk in a long time), if anything im sorry for the late reply, (i have been really busy and had my mind in other places).

on 28 September 2018

Getting in shape, huh? Pretty cool!
So its still a long wait for it... dammit.
I decided on buying a 4K TV, there is one for a decent price going on sale right now, just need my payment to come wednesday to go and order it! PlayStation will be back sooner than expected, lol, and I'll be ready for the PS5 too!

Anyway, did you see the news about the PS Classic mini console? I'm actually concerned Sony might not put LoD on it... seriously.
Which 20 games would you like to see there (even as 5 are already confirmed)

on 28 September 2018

I was never fat or anything close to that, if anything i used to be somewhat skinny when i was a kid, but after that i just didnt had any muscle, but now... yeah im in really good shape :D

Good decision on the 4k TV.

As for the PS Classic i would like to see the following games:

MGS
Silent Hill
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
LOD
FF7
FF9
Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped
Spyro
Syphon Filter 2
Bloody Roar 2
Medievil 2
Breath of Fire 4
Xenogears
Ape Escape 2

on 29 September 2018

Ape Escape is pretty much ruled out as it dosn't come with Dualshocks, isn't it?
I don't know why they just don't tell us the full list already, damn teasers, lol.

So you are doing gym to build muscle not lose weight, I see, well that's good news too.
Just don't start breaking controllers now will ya, lol.
