  • Death Stranding's story, confusing as it may seem, is ultimately about reconnecting the world after a great catastrophe pulls it apart. That's Death Stranding's plot in a nutshell, but if you want something a little deeper than that to truly find out what's going on in Hideo Kojima's latest, well pull up a chair, because here's Death Stranding's 40 hour story (including the big ending) summed up in a nice digestible plot summary.

    You missed something vital in the last few seconds . When BB-28 came back to life she was holding the same little charm given to Sam by amelie previously. Thus showing that Amelie revived that baby like she did Sam , making BB-28 a repatriate just like Sam. So Sam and his daughter are deathless repatriates thanks to amelie.

    I finally finished Death Stranding today...
    Despite some minor pacing issues at the start of the game, if you push through the game starts picking up considerably around chapter 4.
    It’s got Kojima written all over it and so some of the story buckles under its own weight... however it’s not too difficult too understand the main point.
    Also this game is probably the most unique game experience I’ve had in all my 20+ years of gaming. The gameplay switches quite often to thriller/stealth/action adventure/shooter/ relaxing meditative delivery service game. With an intriguing and unique and insanely fun online play style.
    The whole game is positive reinforcement... something that more games could use these days. It’s nice to see a game constantly on the side of positivity...
    I enjoyed the experience and won’t soon forget it, and if your looking for something unlike anything else, I highly recommend... there’s plenty in this game for everyone to enjoy. It’s not perfect, but when it’s firing on all cylinders, the strokes of genius are hard to miss.

Slowly but surely, all those weird hints and scenes drip fed to us throughout the game just string together piece by piece once you start getting the full picture at the end. The absence of that "drip feed" is why the ones afraid to try the game still might not understand. Allot of games are fun, but this is the first game in a long time that extracted them "feels" that we like to hide in this day and age....for lack of better words.

  • @Danvik91
    @Danvik91 4 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    I've finished the game but I'm still confused on a couple of things not clearly explained, so I've been trying to figure out those details, such as what caused the Death Stranding since its very beginning...
    Some say that the first Voidout was caused by the Manhattan incident, but that must be the second one. Because I suppose that those experiments were made in an attempt to investigate what happened during the surgical operation in which the doctor came into contact with an unknown being (later identified as a BT) and caused the first explosion. One of those experiments, conducted in Manhattan, led to another Voidout...
    What is even less explained is why the BT of the first incident was in our world. The game doesn't explain it but I came to the conclusion that when Bridget was doing her research on the Chiral Network, the transfering of data between the Beach and the world of the living, opened a sort of dimensional gap that allowed the first BTs to pass. Eventually, the eponymous Death Stranding catastrophe happened some time later, when Amelie saved Sam from death, overturning the laws of life and death and definitely opening that gap between the dimensions, allowing the BTs to invade the earth and generate a chain of Voidouts that brought the world as we find it in the game. It seems the most logical explanation to me... let me know if I'm wrong, maybe I missed something!
    And then there's an issue I can't figure out, concerning the name of the Bridges company. I'd think that it's named after Lisa Bridges, the first "stillmother" to have given birth to a working BB. But in the cutscenes we see that the staff members already have the "Bridges" badge on their clothes, isn't it a bit strange? I mean, it's something you'd expect as a tribute after a successful result, not before or while experimenting something they're still not sure of... what's your thought about it?

      @simonemilani5804 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Sam was born a year after the first void outs had happened. Amelie repatriating him caused the death stranding to go into full swing because sending him back upset the balance of life and death, which made her beach a pathway for BTs to return to the living world en masse.
      Sam is Cliffs son and neither of them had anything to do with Manhattan. Sam was born to a regular set of parents, his mother being brain dead from a car accident.
      The first void out happened because a doctor saw a BT after touching the still connected umbilical cord of a baby he was delivering via c-section, because the mother (like Sams) was brain dead. Those specific details are what the BB program mimicked with their first successful BB candidate, Sam.

      Honestly, what makes it confusing is trying to fit it into 15 minutes. I ended up watching (in pieces) an 11 hour collection of all the cutscenes/interactions. It's still a long time but having breathing room between things allows you to process what is being said. I'd never sit there for 60 hours and play the game that joins it all together, but the story is solid. Incredibly weird, but solid.

"A gun will not help you here, but it still has a role to play" The role it plays is bringing sam back or as the game puts it: Reconnect with the living.
