Death Stranding: Director’s Cut.
Picked it up for $13 CAD a few days ago. Runs great on my Steam Deck with Lossless Scaling. Minor framerate dips, but I can’t afford the time or money to build a better computer so I’ll take what I can get. Being able to pick up the Deck, play for a few minutes, pause, and put it to sleep so I can deal with my kiddo is the only way I can play anything right now. Sucks that I “lose connection to the game server” if I put the Deck to sleep for too long, but it doesn’t seem to impact the gameplay too much.
Kojima definitely self-indulges too hard with his storytelling and celebrity worship, but I have to give him (or maybe his writers) credit for his world building.
The controls and gameplay can be a bit frustrating at times, but they’ve also resulted in some memorable moments. I’ll take the odd annoying moment, like losing my balance in a deep creek and dropping all my cargo, if it then creates a fun event, me scrambling down the creek madly picking up the wet suit cases of quest specific items to then narrowly deliver it all without failing.
It’s worth checking out if you enjoyed the Metal Gear games, or enjoy exploring maps and unlocking areas and the emergent gameplay of something like Breath of the Wild.

Cool, I hadn’t heard of this game! I love the idea of a “single-player MMO.” I don’t have time for subscriptions, and trying to grind gear to keep up with the content/other players. Like you said, being able to drop the game for a few months and pick it back up where I left off is amazing.
Wish listed!

No idea about the drama, but the Sync app, which I also use, hasn’t got an update since March 26, 2024 according to the Play Store.
It feels like it is largely abandonware at this point. I’m just waiting for it to break before I find something else.

I think it’s important to watch the clip that this headline of Mandy Patinkin is referencing to be able to appreciate the fuller context of this meme. Unfortunately, this meme is vague enough to confuse people comparing what Seinfeld said with what Patinkin said. Patkin also does an amazing throw back to Princess Bride to make his point too! https://youtu.be/dFjOb9DGS1w
