Death Stranding players are using vehicles for griefing, and Kojima Productions is stepping in

Last week, Kojima Productions announced a patch for Death Stranding, scheduled for mid-December. One of the most requested features of the forthcoming patch? The ability to delete vehicles left by other players.

I don't think it's "griefing" i park vehicles like that all the time cause if it's close enough to the terminal you dont have to unload it to deposit the cargo.

rainslacker1993d ago

Cant you just get out and move it? Annoying for sure, but I've yet to come across this outside a bike left on the road for others.

isarai1993d ago

Well i do, hell i keep with a vehicle till it dies. But maybe it's still there cause after making the delivery they just save and quit their play session, i quit right after a delivery, never crossed my mind to move then vehicle before i did so(though im not sure if i ever quit with the vehicle parked in front). Never thought it would literally block other people's deliveries

I have made $13594 last month by working online from my home. I am a full time college student and by just doing this in my free time for few hours per week by using my laptop, I payed off my student loans.

Yeah sure its not. Like a thief would say I stole something. Its pathetic, the PS community can't even get along with its fanbase. They make life miserable for each other.

Born2Game831993d ago

@BlackTar187 FANBOY triggered warning. Probably the kind of a-hole that does this kind of griefing.

Muzikguy1993d ago

You're giving us 36 year olds a bad name

PowerOfTheCloud1993d ago (Edited 1993d ago )

Sure, only ps community trolling/ griefing their own, but pc and xbox players are saints and would never do things like that lmao

/s

Lord_Sloth1993d ago

You realize griefing exists in literally every gaming community, right?

BlackTar1871993d ago (Edited 1993d ago )

There's only one person here who is triggered and it's not me. Calling names hahaha

why did you capitalize Fanboy? You yelling at your computer?

Silly gameAr1993d ago

Calm done with the over dramatics, dude.

SyntheticForm1993d ago

You're making a mountain out of a molehill and introducing a ridiculous and frankly just obnoxious narrative. PlayStation players can't get along with each other and make life miserable for each other?

Yeah, that truck blocking the entrance was replete with ill will and malintent. Also, how will the blocked 'victim' ever recover? His life was obviously ruined.

Are you this melodramatic about everything?

S2Killinit1992d ago (Edited 1992d ago )

Ok what? You sound a bit unhinged.

TheSaint1992d ago

lol show us on the doll where Sony touched you. Grow up, kid.

I personally only had the problem with blocked terminals but like rain suggested, I'd just move them. I've never seen anything I would even consider griefing.

There's no proper or right way to play this game. I think this is ridiculous.

rainslacker1993d ago

I'm just curious if this is such a persistent problem that it's become the most requested feature. I've yet to come across it, and can't really see what the difference is between just moving it, or having to get out and remove it. Probably takes about the same amount of time really.

If that's the biggest problem with the game, then maybe it's not quite as bad as some people wanted others to believe.

SyntheticForm1993d ago

I think the only problem, really, is when you're on the clock on a premium delivery and every second counts.

When you have a big delivery, you want to park the vehicle as close as possible so you can interact with the terminal to make the delivery. If you're not parked close enough, you can't make the delivery without going to the truck and taking things out manually which you probably loaded onto a truck in the first place because they were altogether too heavy. Then you'd have to make a partial - it just doesn't work.

Otherwise, why complain? The entire game is slow anyway - what's the big deal over an extra small step?

babadivad1993d ago

I don't think it's griefing either. How can you be an affective Amazon Prime delivery guy without a vehicle?

Knushwood Butt1993d ago

I've never seen a truck blocking a road like that.

I accidentally drove a truck into the cosplsyer area last night as I approached it from the river and didn't even realise it was the Cosplayer's place until it was too late, but still managed to jump my truck all the way through to the other side.

Still, it's good to have the option to delete them.

UltraNova1993d ago

That happened to me too, the Cosplayer terminal was completely blocked by another player's truck. I tried for God knows how long to get it out but the darn terminal is situated at the worst possible place in the whole game.

The option to delete players vehicles cant come soon enough.

That said, we need a voting system before anyone decides to remove helpful stuff other players leave behind, like anchors and ladders. As for roads and bridges, I do my best carrying material to the terminals but man we need more help finishing them...

rdgneoz31993d ago

No need for a voting system, it only removes it from your game. Not the creators or anyone else's game.

As for roads, unlock the zone first and you'll get help. Usually gets you half the mats or such, sometimes it can finish one off for you over time if people are still building roads.

UltraNova1993d ago

@rdgneoz3

Yep you are right 😉

rainslacker1993d ago

Lol. I kept getting stuck on rocks with the mule truck and being super annoyed that I lost my truck. Then found out I could jump it off with some persistence.

UltraNova1993d ago

Lol Jumping trucks is the only way to traverse tough terrain in Death Stranding...

rainslacker1993d ago

The mule truck wasn't so bad on rough terrain once you knew how to drive it. Not good for keeping cargo in good condition. I spent a lot of time getting resources for the roads to make moving stuff easier. That weather station sucks ass though.

SyntheticForm1993d ago

The mule truck is awful.

Yeah, you could jump your way out of being stuck *sometimes.* Trucks in the game are true to gravity with the front end being the heaviest due to the engine block etc, and it's very annoying in certain instances.

Moments in trucks were among the 'sweariest' I had playing.

FyBy1993d ago

It would be great to solve the problem original way instead of simply deleting cars. What about making a side quest from it as a removing cars with some benefits to player(doing it for others)? It will be ecosystem friendly and will strenghten social aspect of the game.

sprinterboy1993d ago

Fantastic idea that, I like how you think.

froy4021993d ago

Yea give um a tow truck and payem 12 bucks an hour

Hardiman1993d ago (Edited 1993d ago )

I haven't ran into this. Are they sure it's on purpose because I've actually done that but just because I saw something or had to do something so I jumped out. But then I go back a continue driving.

rainslacker1993d ago

I think you won't see it until it becomes abandoned by the other player. Like they get a different vehicle, or move too far away from it. If it's your vehicle you just jumped out of, you'll be the only one that sees it. Of course, player may have gotten distracted and went off to do other things in the scenario you posit, then grabbed another truck. I've abandoned bikes for trucks after clearing mule camps.

Aggesan1993d ago

Unload a mag on them and they'll blow up and disappear.

It’s Just Over For ‘Marathon’

Marathon has always been teetered on the edge of future failure, but now that seems set in stone after recent events.

Games_People_Play9h ago

Honestly, even if it was F2P, I wouldn’t play it.

_SilverHawk_9h ago

I can't wait to play marathon. It looks amazing to me

Kornholic6h ago

Couldn't agree more. Every single aspect of Marathon seems very unappealing.

raWfodog1h ago

Arc Raiders interests me a lot more than Marathon ever did.

RaidenBlack6h ago

Bungie stole all their lunch money

CrashMania6h ago

Paul Tassi is a known xbox/MS stooge.

Saying that, Marathon looks so meh to me, absolutely no interest at all.

JEECE6h ago

Once he wrote an article characterizing Horizon Forbidden West, which came out over a year after the PS5 released, as a PS5 "launch game." Assuming this was just a mistake, I pointed out to him that "launch games" for a console are widely understood to be the games that come out on the day of a console's launch or in the immediate window thereafter. He responded and told me that he understood "launch game" to mean a game that launches, which would mean that every game that releases on a console is a "launch game" for that console.

I've basically ignored everything he has said since then. But I don't care about Marathon either way; playing Hunt: Showdown turned me off this genre pretty much.

neutralgamer19927h ago

If I was running Sony why would I not try to have bungie reboot Killzone and have it as their Halo. Honestly I don't know how Sony could justify that 3.6 billion purchase price. Insomniac games at 256 million has been their greatest acquisition in Playstation history for what they have already delivered and what's the pipeline

Profchaos6h ago

The smart money would have given them killzone but they brought them to be a pillar of their live services investment and seeming have no interest in allowing them near a single player story driven game again.

Lightning771h ago

The bigger mistake imo is not having them do any SP projects. Just all LS stuff.

Also want to clear up some misinformation on my part about Marathon. It wasn't due to creative differences as to why Jade left it was due to early internal Play tests were reportedly not received very well. Which probably prompted her to leave. My fault on that.

Ghostwood7h ago

It does look like ass shit.

Would pulling the plug now make any difference or is Bungie thoroughly cooked regardless?

peppeaccardo7h ago

Since when Forbes is relevant for the gaming community?

How One Company Killed Sports Games

A once bustling space offering plenty of choices, now a desolate land of greed, did EA really kill the sports game genre?

anast15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

They made them better than everyone else at first. Once no one was playing any of the inferior options, they turned the investors loose on the customers.
