- 10164I pre-ordered this, as I have to see this strange game for myself.
- 10168OK, this is it. I am starting this controversial game, and I'm very excited. The environments look so amazing in the intro, I have trouble not just standing around and staring at waterfalls. And the vehicle and clothes designs are fascinating.
- 10169In the first mission, I delivered the dead body of the American president, my mother, to a disposal facility.
- 10172I did a few more normal missions. So far, this is very enjoyable in its own way.
- 10174In a tense walk through a BT-infested valley, I reached the Wind Farm.
- 10176Martin played the prologue and the cremation mission, and he got caught by BTs and chased over an oily mountainside by a huge Lovecraft-looking squid-whale monster.
- 10177We then returned to my save game, where I got access build power stations, charged a bike, and drove it all the way back to Capital Knot City. I then got access to blood grenades, which seems like the first weapon of real use against BTs. On my way to the port, I ran into real trouble and also got caught.
- 10196I finished chapter 2 and went to a cool new area. I got bionic legs now, and the ability to fast travel.
- 10200I went for an atomspheric walk in the Central Region, saw some awesome looking new environments, and discovered a few bases, that weren't open for business. It's too bad that they're not interactive when you find them randomly, it detracts from my interest in exploring.
- 10213I met some Porters, actual sentient humans in the world who didn't try to kill me. Amazing. :)
- 10214I got a Bola Gun! It's awesome, I took out an entire camp of MULEs and stole their truck. It's so great to have a truck.
- 10215The highways look surreal.
- 10216I got to the Weather Station and Bridges now has adorable delivery robots!
- 10217I shot some more MULEs and stole another truck and drove it from the farm.
- 10218More trucking.
- 10219My truck got hit by MULE spears on the highway, and it ran off the road. Pretty cool dynamic moment.
- 10220I accidentally cut the end of the previous video. I transported the weird time hourglass girl who seems to have a lot of trouble with speaking to her boyfriend. It's delightfully weird when you're transporting a human, a mummy on your back.
- 10221I got into a brutal fight with a MULE base and after punching out everyone, I took the opportunity to steal a new truck. I also got a grabby gun and the ability to customize my backpacks.
- 10222My sneaky stealth mission with the Sticky Gun turned into a messy brawl with the MULES again. It was a fun, chaotic affair with a lot of close calls.
- 10223Sometimes good game design ideas get ruined the player second-guessing the game. In a callback to several old Metal Gear games, a guy who was clearly a terrorist shows up in a Bridges outfit and gives you a 'gift' for Fragile, which is clearly a bomb. On inspection, it's called a bomb in the inventory, and it's blinking red. So what to do?
- I would like to inform Bridges, but that is not possible.
- I try to recycle the bomb, hoping that would destroy it. Not possible
- I then go to my destination, which triggers an immediate and very inelegant game over screen (the first one I encountered in the game).
- I then try leaving the bomb on the ground and walking away. Game over.
- 10249I did a frustrating war boss fight with Unger. That sequence felt a bit tacked on.
- 10250I finally met Mama and heard her crazy story. She was pregnant and stuck in rubble after a terrorist attack, surviving by drinking rainwater, and gave birth to a ghost baby.
