This is great news. Death Stranding is in my all time top 10 so highly recommend it to anyone tempted on Xbox.

I bought it last year but I abandoned it after only a few hours. I have to give it a other chance.

Death Stranding is one of my favorite examples of how many ideas are out there to make games out of without resorting to making a game loop revolve around violence.

I don't know I violently fell very often in that game...

I recently tried it and only got through the first chapter before giving up, it's just not fun to me.

[–] wrekone@lemmyf.uk 1 points 10 hours ago

Same. I think i could have enjoyed the gameplay but the horror aspect and overall vibe was too offputting.

Eh...I struggled through the second half...it wasn't worth it. So many convoluted cut scenes to tell you what the last convoluted cut scene just said.

[–] lowleveldata@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

The delivering part is actually fun tho. The cut scenes are confusing but they don't really take that long so it's fine for me.

Honestly the first few hours are a bit of a chore but keep going.

Good for them, fuck Sony

It's interesting that it specifically mentions the Series X. My understanding is that anything released on Series X must also run on the Series S.

It's because xbox's naming scheme is fucking stupid.

[–] elgordino@fedia.io 5 points 19 hours ago

Yeah, I think this is just an oversight. It says X and S on the store page.
