Video: 6 WTF Death Stranding Facts That Confuse Even More

Likes are a kind of lucky currency in the game. Like on Facebook - this old social media platform. You can't buy anything for likes in real life, in Death Stranding they work similarly: The game comes with an asynchronous multiplayer that allows objects and messages to be left to other players, vice versa. Reminds a bit of Dark Souls. You can like these objects, just as your legacies can be liked. It will be nice and obscure if your BB baby, who accompanies you on your travels, throws likes around you. You defeat an opponent and thereby save your and BB's life? 100 likes! After all, the little one cannot speak, but distributing likes is not a problem. Just like in real life. By the way: There are no dislikes or thumbs down.
2) Call for other players like ghosts
Speaking of asynchronous multiplayer ! As mentioned, you cannot see or meet other players directly - in addition to their legacies, you can also meet their "presences", to put it this way: if you have the uneasy feeling of not being completely alone, you can call with a button. Haaaaaaallooooo? Something like that. If you are lucky, you can use it to attract a player ghost who (probably?) Will also perceive you as a ghost and can throw items at you. This could save your attractive bum, especially in combat.
3) Except for blood: bloodletting against BTs
Do you actually fight in Death Stranding? Sure, of course! Against, uh, monsters from another world called BTs. Perhaps also against much crazier beings - but what we do know: they don't like blood. You can use blood bombs on them, but what if you run out? Well, then you just tap into yourself and throw your own blood in their faces. Somebody should say again that bloodletting would not be a salvation.
4) Robot arm says Tschau
If you are Death Stranding veterans and were bored with this article so far - some of it is well known - here is a little more neglected detail: This crazy thing that Sam put on and that keeps opening and closing itself? This robotic arm can do even more, and it can communicate: it smugly waves after your opponent when they collapse when beaten. Can you also play bells and whistles with him?
5) Pee mushrooms
Not so unknown detail, but too bizarre to leave it out: Sam Porter can be easier in the game, and all over the world. In other words, he pees. After all, he has to, as often as he tips monster energy drinks into himself - however. If Sam urinates out in the wild, pretty mushrooms grow here. These pretty mushrooms can also be seen by other players and if they choose to pee on the mushrooms, more mushrooms will grow. Death Stranding Director Kojima has hinted that something wonderful will happen if enough players keep enough mushrooms awake. So: pee for the mushrooms!
6) Time rain
Last but not least: rain. What does Kojima have to do with all the liquids? Rule of thumb: If you see something fluid in the game, there is an eighty percent chance that it is strange. So also the time rain timefall. Because he does exactly what his name suggests: he lets time pass differently, means he ages living beings when he touches them. In the following wonderful trailer you can see how a man's face ages in seconds while he is exposed to the evil water:

On a scale from one baby to ten babies - how strange do you think Death Stranding is? I would say yes … um …! Nine and a half babies, to be precise. Yes, that should get there. By the way, Kojima already gets 50 likes from me; let's see if I fill up to 100 likes when I can finally hold the game in my hands, eyes and ears.
Give me the baby: You can pre-order Death Stranding in the Playstation store.
Death Stranding is crawling on the PS4 consoles out of Norman Reedus' hand on November 8th, and only on the: The game appears exclusively on the market for Playstation 4. When the time comes, we can finally find out whether and how Hideo Kojima combines all the strange details into a coherent story in his game.
