up in the morning to you ladies my name
is Jacksepticeye and welcome back to
Norman Reedus and his amazing
fetus these Feats right here this should
be the last episode of death stranding
it's going to come to a close
which is kind of sad but I'm very
curious to see what's going on in the
game I there's still a lot of sofa I'm
like ah what
my brain
I thought he wasn't going to plug it in
for a second
[Music]
I'm ass
you know what day it is today baby
birthday
today would be a very special day
you're not born yet
were there more candles in America right
soon it'll be time for you to come out
into the real world
I promise
and then
we can have a real party
no
happy birthday
that's cute
but now we know he's dead and
technically so is this baby because it
never got born
are you Unborn
Sarah available orders
the zombie baby
are using my generators people are doing
everything with my stuff
do not get a million billion likes
whatever it's not all about Lakes anyway
it's whatever it's spoopy stinky
orders for Sam yes deliver crypto
buyouts to fragile
do not submerge got it
uh dinner bone
[Music]
shahul Cam's reverse strike who is the
cooler picture
oh I'm gonna have to go with this
you're the cooler name add the cooler
picture sorry everybody else I'm going
with dinner bones bike it's gonna be
upside down
don't forget that container isn't
airtight you can't afford to submerge it
even partially
just bring your brushes the crypto
buyouts that I had
I have a ton of them
okay this this this you guys can all
no I'm gonna have to
I'm after recycling
I'm not heading out yet hold on
give me a second
oh
yeah that's cool
let me get rid of some stuff and let me
get some other stuff I've
network connection unstable
what am I supposed to do place an
utility post no where's the private
Locker
Dom
these are all the ones I got from
Cliff's thing anyway Jesus Christ so
many blunderbags
what am I a [ __ ] Hospital
um and what I have in my private Locker
are more blood bags anyway let's take
these and put them in my utility boat
okay
but that one back in
the private Locker okay
that's a problem though because I was
going to really gear up on this one and
fabricate a bunch of stuff
I wanted to fabricate like the quadruple
rocket launcher and everything again
I don't know if I really have to fight
much stuff anymore
is the world ending
it feels like the world's probably
ending
destroy
the good news is we managed to recover
all cargo stored on site and transferred
it to the capital not City District
Center
as for the not so good news Cairo
printers are currently unusable yeah due
to the networking stability
given the circumstance okay hold hold on
Dad Dead Guy
um
oh I'm going back to the other one
oh fascinating
I've been here in ages
geez this place seems so tiny now this
is where I dropped off my dead mom
weird you might want to consider turning
to your fellow Porters for assistance
but I'll leave that up to you Sam
I'm sure you'll come through for us you
always do
yeah you [ __ ] right I do
working my ass off I I actually didn't
even realize where I'm going okay yeah
up that way and across cool
so I'm not allowed to use any of the
structures that I built because they're
certainly just not working
man don't do that to me
I know you still have to keep some sort
of Journey going because if all that my
structures were still here the game
would be kind of broken by now and
you're not you don't have any atmosphere
but I spent a long time building [ __ ]
I can't really remember this area now so
there's really
old areas in the game
and within those there's a bunch of
other micro areas
oh and desert and Forest and all that
kind of thing
but there's two
like sections of Worlds there you go two
maps that's what I'm trying to say
I haven't been to this one in a really
long time
they came down something so extra uh we
go down through here
yeah and this is where the wind farm is
man this place seems really really tiny
now
happy purse
oh wait 100 decks on banjax
because some big dumb Troy Baker shot it
seem I see Troy I'm gonna give him
oh my God no
why are these things here
go go go go go go go go oh they really
remind me of something from bloodborne
I think Kojima was very heavily inspired
by bloodborne and dark souls for this
game
the the delivering and all that kind of
stuff kind of reminds me of the bonfires
you're a God
just keep going fastly oh God Jesus oh
oh ah where's my bike flying
type that into Google and see what
happens
Jesus [ __ ] Christ this whole thing is
gonna break
oh [ __ ]
should have
thought about this I don't think I'm
supposed to be on a bike for this area
yes there's a generator right there
you're fine you're fine Sam
freaking out there's a there's a bunch
of cars
right there anyway oh my God
said not to submerge it
I don't really have a choice if you
cover the shy honey
wait for it wait for it this thing is
full of blood
where is he
that's not you
oh there he is
who's this
get something better than that
you know what I'm just gonna run
I don't think fighting this thing is
going to be in my best interest right
now
and I could probably just
oh God go go go what's wrong what's
happening
oh my God speed skeleton is the [ __ ]
way forward lads
oh yeah yes
new stress levels increasing it's gonna
have to wait in a second
oh I broke my legs hold on
my stress level's increasing right now
God
Go For the Lover guard Sam
stop getting caught in your own jump
animations and just run
oh
and a hook
okay we're fine
where'd he even go he's all the way back
up there he wasn't even chasing me why
was they speeding up
okay okay oh
scary sounds
are you all right there Lulu
yeah you're a trooper what a little
fighter
don't show your don't show your goody
bits to the people at home
there we go
there we go okay cool
I'm doing well
did any Vehicles survive out here
damn it I was just saying as well I'm
about to get to the generator and then
it took it away from me
I can't go through the water
which should be fine because this thing
should just clear this
yeah
speed's going four likes from Blue
I love you lulu
thank you I gave you some likes on the
way
all right there's a zip line there I
should have come back and just if I'd
known this was gonna happen
I would have planted zip lines
everywhere
okay
I guarantee you it's going to take this
vehicle away from me again
I bet you anything I'll just drive and
then suddenly I'll run into another
giant creature
okay I don't need you for
the truck I need you for my legs thank
you
like like like comment subscribe to that
Tower
at least if somebody uses your stuff it
it automatically gives a like
oh this is a defensive truck
it's it's gonna happen again the exact
same thing is going to happen again
am I allowed move
oh just regular BTS wait no that
happened last time too
hold on
the game just really does not want you
to go fast at all in any aspects ever
like oh you finally figured it out and
you're at the end of the game and you
have to come all the way back using all
the structures you've had before
nope
idiot
[Music]
ah
it's me on my car
they're not even on you Sam what are you
doing jump
[Music]
speed skeleton op yikes
okay you can keep that handgun the
handguns suck wait what
no
[Music]
I was literally shaking as hard as I
could
oh
okay well let's try it again then shall
we
gonna load me back though and why do you
have to load so much you should have
just this area loaded
attacks from front can't be blocked
enemies will often guard against frontal
attacks try and avoid okay
I have only been doing frontal attacks
because that's where my fists go
maybe I should just go on foot
oh right from the very beginning round
two
we have no vehicle this time
which kind of blows
but I did get some extra things I have
like hematic grenades now
my container also got ruined with the
crypto bytes crypto buyouts in it now to
use the container repair spray that I
had in the private Locker in that area
so that was good but
things might go really bad
I'm gonna be stuck out in this stuff for
a really long time now if I don't get a
vehicle
I don't have a bowler gone
[Music]
I do have a lot of blood in me
so we should use that to our advantage
okay you're not Blinky Blinky yet
there you go
where are they
oh
it's a good umbilical cord before I even
got there
ah interesting okay so I can do that
douche
did I kill you
sure did
[ __ ]
[Applause]
[ __ ]
go speed skeleton go run like the wind
run like you've never run before
okay okay okay attaboy attaboy atta boy
just keep going I hope there's a
generator down here somewhere
there is a zip line but I don't know
where is it that zip line can connect to
from where I am
still around really oh never mind
oh I've never seen that one before
he cut his little hands
okay cool I don't have to still deal
with the mules up here do I
there are far more pressing issues
stop stop
can I make it over this
I don't have ladders or anything
right
okay it just said do not submerge
does that count for the shallow water
okay we're fighting cool I want to use
the zip Lane because there's another one
down there
we can really shave off some
shave off some time
because I do not want to have to do this
the third time what I did save it at the
station back there so
I won't have to do all of this again
foreign
oh thank God that's so much nicer hi
fellas
everybody wave on the way across
why would you do this why why why
it's right there
you just moved this one a tiny bit it
would line up perfectly
damn it
would have saved me so many headaches
and now my life is inconvenient
that and that's really important to me
right now [ __ ]
generator I Don't Mind If I Do
look at this Gamers helping gamers

is it only count if I fall over then
don't fall over
I think it just said cargo damaged
ruined
well it's not giving me a game over
screen so we'll roll with it

that's very realistic looking
sorry
yeah
oh I could kiss you you sweet son of a
[ __ ] please do not [ __ ] kiss me
it was all over until I came through and

only three handguns they suck
quadruple rocket launcher though oh hell
yeah
uh let's sort my cargo
and offload you
all right let's just go to where we need
to be
God
that was a miserable experience for Sam
Jesus Christ the game just really does
not give you a chance does it
just like well too bad if you're not
prepared for this
then [ __ ] you
God I'm gonna have like 8 000 after this
yes yes
give it to me just kill the giant whale
he really likes his giant whales your
solid five there was a giant fire whale
there you go oh there's a generator I
was blocked by my car
ah loror now is not the time
I have a place to be and a thing to
deliver
yes
I can't believe we're coming up towards
the end in all fairness that was super
cool to look at it was a little
uh it was a little clunky because I
don't think I think the game's mechanics
are designed for traversing and carrying
when that collides with
like combat and fighting the mules is
one thing but having to fight something
like that
it's very intense because there's a lot
of like plotting through the ink
but as I said piece that was [ __ ]
dope
[Music]
keep going Sam story to slow slow down
now
ah we're back to the Nintendo Wii
oh some stuff's not loading in
there you go
[Music]
care otherwise I'm coming fragile I hope
these crypto buyouts are worth it
I went through [ __ ] hell literally
thank heavens you made it
fragile's been in a coma for a while now
but with all these crypto biomes you
brought
we should be able to bring her around
and with any luck
it'll only take a few more to get her
back on her feet is it bad that I
submerged all in ink
Tara
thank you
it means a lot I I suffered a great deal
to get in here
it was a pain in my [ __ ] ass
well we're here we did it oh God
I can't believe I actually got that
jeez
all right laid on me some plot I want to
relax for a second
Sam
you're back
it must have been one hell of a journey
especially on your own
but now the whole team is together again
the whole team
Die Hard Men too
much traveling to and from beaches in
such a short span
chiral matter contaminated herself
effectively causing jet lag on a
molecular level because of that her
homeostatic mechanisms were shaken
don't worry she's not in any danger but
she needs some rest
towards the director
being looked after in another room
Bridge's Personnel found him lying
outside the isolation word
similar to when you came back from
Cliff's Beach
even after decontamination
she needed more and more time to recover
thumbnail
[Music]
Sam
you made it
hungry
thanks
looks like you need me after all
who'd have thought
foreign
clock sticking am I right
if Sam's here
the great deliverer
the only one who can reach Emily's Beach
you're in no condition to do this
it's not fair to you or Sam
um in my own search for Amelie's Beach I
have come to realize something
extraordinary
if beaches were likened to a Multiverse
hers would appear to exist on a higher
plane than ours
I can walk the beaches of others but
hers is beyond my reach
it's invisible inaccessible even to
fragile I fear
imagine it as a circulatory system if
you will
each of our beaches is a single
capillary
's Beach is the heart that pumps blood
to the rest of us
capillaries are subordinate to the
greater Hull a hole governed by the
heart which gives Direction
flow
Tate
everything controls everything
don't you see she is in control
you should use one of the Dolls
didn't you say that they were you may be
able to travel against the flow and
reach her but having done so
if she does not wish to let you go if
she wishes to keep you
she can fragile and Die Hard Men Broke
Free from her beat didn't they I don't
think it was any different from what
happened to you
I didn't get out because I wanted to
I was forced out repatriated if you will
by her
forced out why
this is only a theory but
she wants you wants you to go to her
that's her final wish
you think
so that's it huh
I'mma lose the and this is her end game
just so we're clear
if I want to stop the last stranding and
come back in one piece
I need to go to her Beach and talk her
out of it
is that about right correct
as cliche as it sounds
you're our only hope
so quite frankly I doubt even you can
change her mind
if you can't make her see reason
you'll have to kill her
and if you kill her
he'll save the world
but you'll be stranded outside of it
forever
[Music]
foreign
make it official then
you ready to deliver the package
she does not look ready
I guess we're not coming back oh baby
talk to her
maybe she'll listen
but with the shape the world's in
it'll only be delaying the inevitable
still
if it buys us time to try and build
something better a new lease on life
for a little bit
well I can think of one woman who made
the most of a chance like that
nothing lasts forever not even the world
but we got to keep it going as long as
we can right
right patch the holes change the parts
all that
so we can say we had a good run that we
lived
thought you didn't like having to handle
things with care because it was hard
enough keeping my own [ __ ] together
back when we met at the Cave the only
thing I cared about was making it to the
next sunrise sure as hell didn't care
about America or the future
I was living a lie hung up on past
regrets I was broken
but somewhere along the way I started
changing
started meeting people that made me
think that maybe it wasn't all bad
people that put their faith in tomorrow
and in me
that kept the lights on and waited for
hope to arrive
so I gotta deliver for their sake
even if it means you never come back
[ __ ] if I do [ __ ] if I don't right
[Music]
take care of Lou
I will couldn't find a working still
mother used to Port not city
kids done enough no
no all right
I'll do my best to nurse our little one
back to health
foreign
[Music]
help me look for Emily
reach for her son
feel her
I know you love her
you love her
damn
you love her
not anymore seems like she's just a big
old bad Beach
[Laughter]
I wonder if I actually have to do
anything or if it's all just gonna be a
cutscene
foreign
[Music]
there you are
[Music]
am I a baby
[Music]
I know the way
[Music]
oh
oh oh
is she killing me
so 13 Sam strand
oh no Audrey deck
um that's Earth
today did I finally make it to the Moon
find Emily okay
that's so cool
I knew I was gonna go to the Moon
I said it
I don't know I think this is actually
the Moon
they did say her Beach was a plane of
existence higher than ours
just suck to talk about people hanging
out here and
oh I can't do anything
people hang out in their beaches and
search for things and whatnot but
there's nothing to do on a beach
uh Sam
why are we sitting down
[Music]
falling down
land and bridges falling down
by
Fair Lady
black dress
the last stranding has already begun
[Music]
normally
Bridget you're too late
love you so long
your voice
you still don't know who I am do you
who are you
[Music]
coming back
foreign
[Music]
laughs
I love you Sam
I'll be waiting for you on the beach
I've been waiting for you right here
ever since
you were supposed to stop me
stop all of this
Bridget
yes
it's me Sam
where's Emily
where she's always been
nowhere
my daughter Samantha America strand
doesn't exist
[Music]
family doesn't exist
not in your world
to wear a mask for so long
Emily and Bridget are both a part of me
what's this supposed to mean quiet and
I'll tell you there is
the questions
listen
[Music]
oh
okay please explain things
do you understand Sam
Amelie and Bridget
those are just names
I am
distinction entity
foreign
knowing what you know now
you have two choices
[Music]
I was getting shot one of them
wouldn't come back if it happened here
you know
straight on to the afterlife
but no
it's not one of them
killing you would be a terrible mistake
than anyone
the last stranding has already begun
a seam has formed from my beach and the
beaches of every soul in America
and soon it will be inundated by a vast
surge of antimatter starting here
in a Flash
this world will be no more
consumed by an explosion
a big bang
so
that brings us to your first choice
do nothing
stay here with me
and bear witness to the very end
just watch it burn
together
with me
until the last flame wakes out
sounds so bad does it
it's not like the world has long left
anyway
then there's the second choice
in expanding the network you brought
people and their beaches together
integrating them into a greater whole
like this keeper
but in doing so
you also bound them to my Beach
the very Beach where I opened the gates
to the other side
you can't stop what's coming
but if you cut me in my beach loose
perhaps you can stop it from spreading
you might just prevent the last
stranding
and Mankind will live to Die Another Day
it doesn't have to end you
but it does
the beach is doomed no matter what
one Lookout to tell you that
[Music]
is why we must sever our connection
the end of the death stranding
stop the inevitable
the sixth Extinction will happen either
today or tomorrow
you can either end it with dignity quick
clean and in a Flash
or you can struggle in vain knowing full
well what's waiting come to finish
you kept it all this time
perhaps you still have a chance to stop
this nightmare
you brought the world together
you have the right to decide
Pull the Rope
or Cut the Noose
but whatever you do don't hesitate
I'm ready Sam strand
make your choice
wait
I don't know what to do
sure you do
after everything how could you not
do I actually have to decide oh [ __ ]
uh I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna shoot
her
oh
I can't reload
um
hug
I need a feel oh wait no
like you were for me
oh I didn't want that ending
foreign
it's a dream catcher
[Music]
wear it when you sleep and I'll keep the
nightmares away
I'll always be with you
when you're all grown up you'll need it
to make us whole again
and when the time comes you'll have to
stop me you are the only one who can
promise you'll remember
Sam
I'll be waiting for you on the beach
I remember
you know you always know I did and I
didn't I had so many dreams of the
future
I didn't know which ones to trust which
is why I decided to share them with you
and the others
foreign
sense of everything
you need time
time
[Music]
has no meaning to me
I am not a lion
I am a single point
[Music]
which is why all I could do was just
show you the choices and let you decide
our nightmares
you found the common thread
you did that
that need to live life one day at a time
[Music]
a gun won't help you here
but it still has a role to play
it was the bonds between people that
brought the world together
that
I will stay here on this beach and I
will shut myself in and the rest of you
out shut yourself in come on the last
trending starts it can't be stopped
I can't go with you
all I can do is try to spare you the
worst
Sam
I am the beach
and I must stay here and ensure that the
extinction happens
even if it takes tense
hundreds of
that loan
that's what an ee does
if I had just done my job none of this
would have happened
[Music]
I couldn't take it anymore I got so
tired of waiting and I figured that no
one would blame me if I just got it all
over with
[Music]
sounds like a
[Music]
but you and the others came together
connected
and you may be living on borrowed time
but you still have hope
[Music]
pick five life rebelt they fought back
evolved in order to survive
it's an opportunity
[Music]
and if I have to pay the price for that
to be the sacrifice
so be it
even if we aren't together
we will always be connected
[Music]
whoa
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
still has a role to play
I'm gonna shoot myself
make a decision bringing into this and
bring this to an end I was trying to
shoot her because I wanted to not let
the world die and let it just die at a
different time
foreign
oh
are the credits playing
[Music]
what
[Music]
can I just go into the water and do
something
I want to equip the gun but I can't
hey hey
okay
okay can I go anywhere
this is so weird
double jump
can't scan anything
foreign
I don't want to make a shitty decision I
don't want to like walk into the water
and have that end and then have the
whole world get destroyed
I wonder if anything will happen
wait so Amelie is the beach
because she's an Extinction entity
it's not sure I understand
I always been able to do that
so fast
oh he's going down
quiet and I'll tell you
there is no time for questions
when you were young you used to have bad
dreams oh
you cried about them all the time
those weren't your dreams
they were mine
for as long as I can remember I've
dreamed of the beach
not just while sleeping in my waking
hours too
in my dreams
I watch the world end
so many times
I need to countless past extinctions
that decimated life on this planet
again and again and again
first I didn't understand what I was
seeing or why
that wasn't the worst of it
there were other more terrible dreams
dreams of death
of a massive Extinction to come
it would always be the one
to bring about the last stranding
as I have today
okay
I'm just gonna keep going then
we've seen you do kojima's name three
times now in the credits oh
her ankle
epic roll dude
oh there we go again
I am right back where I started
foreign
okay I'm just gonna keep running around
because I don't want to go in the water
I feel like that's the bad choice
the gun still has a role to play
and how long am I gonna have to sit here
and watch credits
foreign
I opened my eyes and found myself on the
beach
but the moment I came round
I was back in the hospital bed
bled across Two Worlds
Bridget my ha and that one
Amelie my car in this okay
somehow the two of us managed to coexist
soon our ages began to diverge
Bridget's body got older
while the beach kept Amelie's the same
so I came up with a story
I told people that Amelie was my
daughter
a daughter with a debilitating condition
had
look
Amelie
oh god
um
it's French for so okay
so that's a lie
there was no Amelie
only me and the beach
I thought it was a curse in the
beginning
but later I started thinking
maybe I can use this
I tried to find out more about the beach
because understanding the beach has had
to be the key to interpreting my visions
of the future
okay really I'm a lie Soul lie
oof
that makes more sense so now who why
Bridget and her look exactly alike
at least they got an answer to that so
they are the same person
I'm just still trying to figure out why
why she's an Extinction entity is it
just something that happens
and like it's inevitable
and the extinction entity has to bring
these things to fruition
because she seemed like she didn't know
what oh she didn't know what she was she
didn't know what the extinction event
was she wanted it to happen but then she
didn't want it to happen
so is it just a course of nature that
she also has no control over but it's
funneling through her
I don't know
also it was kind of cooler when the
beach was just an alternate dimension
I mean it still is but
having her control all of them
what happens if I just sit
I can't I can't do that here now
so would I lose out on all of this if I
just went straight into the water or
does none of that actually matter right
now
I have so many questions
foreign
so did she cause the first death
stranding
we need some time to digest all of this
we get more story
I realized the beach was
which meant that somewhere out Beyond it
were the memories of time itself
including those of every organism that
had ever lived
4.6 billion years of biological history
a history that might even stretch back
to the creation of the universe
chiral Network and everything that
followed was born
that knowledge by passing data through
the beach we were Unbound by the
restrictions of time
simulations that would have taken years
or more were simple and effortless
everything that the Earth had lost and
forgotten could be reconstructed and
reclaimed
but shortly after we began our research
America saw its first void out
I thought I was running out of time that
my nightmares were becoming a reality so
I raced to complete the chiral Network
as quickly as possible
the past held all the answers
only I could find a way to piece them
together
a network that bridged our world and the
beach
that might do it I believed
so I started researching Bridge babies
children bound to the world of the Dead
causes an Extinction entity to come into
being
what was the reason for the previous
five mass extinctions
the answers to those questions
tell me how to stop the sixth
I found it Bridges more determined than
ever to build a chiral Network that
would cover all of America
had cancer
the Beach's punishment maybe for not
playing along like a good little e
and then just like that my hoe was gone
I couldn't finish what I'd started
so I asked you to do it for me and you
did
you helped us complete the network
helped us to reclaim everything the
universe experienced from its Inception
to
every mystery was out
like this one
once there was an explosion a big bang
that gave birth to time and space
thing is it was more like a big fluke
all that matter and antimatter should
have canceled itself out leaving nothing
but somehow somehow a tiny Speck of
matter survive just enough
to make this world and everything in it
a world that shouldn't be a world out of
balance
order inevitably gives way to chaos
everything that lives must inevitably
die
the universe is trying to return
maybe the big five or its best attempts
to finish us off
somehow life always managed to survive
just enough
and after thumb its gnomes at the will
of the cosmos
distinction might be the key to
overcoming total annihilation
it forces life to fight to survive to
endure to exist
that's why the big five ultimately
rekindled life instead of extinguishing
it
ashes of the Dead rise the living
stronger and wiser inheritors of the
legacy of existence itself
they defy the universe and refuse to
surrender they say we're just getting
started
okay so she just is
she was just
born
into existence
and even she wanted to try and end it
and that's why she made the chiral
Network
to bridge a connection to see if that
was a way that she could end up stopping
it
but it seems like creating that network
is why it ended up causing it to happen
in the first place
or like got it really going again so
she's existed long before
the first void out I imagine has heard
the death stranding started
because there's no way of knowing that
it's a thing that's happening until a
void out happens and then more void outs
happen and then suddenly the world's an
apocalypse
so she existed before all that and it
was a long time before the first void
out happened
interesting
yeah and I kept wondering in all the
trailers when uh stuff happened like a
void out happened or something it would
show figure standing like the Horsemen
of the Apocalypse I'm assuming those are
the previous Extinction entities
manifested
but
some of them are like ammonites
are you saying that an Extinction entity
was just brought into existence so
Extinction entities exist just to keep
the world going
that if they did if Extinction didn't
happen then the world would just crumble
to nothing and
not endure and adapt and survive and go
on
is that what they're trying to say
a little confused oh it's happening
again
foreign
here we go again
I pulled the trigger twice that day
I knew at once I'd made a mistake
I found your beach and looked everywhere
for you
Sam
there you are
thank you
[Music]
mom
hello
[Music]
you want to go home
let's go
I want it I wanted to set you free from
Death once and for all
I know the way
foreign
[Music]
the fundamental balance between life and
death
[Music]
I just wanted to save you
[Music]
I am an Extinction entity
it's my fate to lead our species to
Extinction
you became a repatriot and and Dooms
started spreading my nightmares to
others throughout the world
it was me that got you and everyone with
Dooms into this
not long after the death stranding
occurred
the dead clung to our world and BTS used
my beach to cross over and devour them
triggering more void outs okay a
catalyst that would set the world on a
path to Extinction
it was my duty to serve as a sacrifice
to wait and watch it unfold from this
beach
that or hasten the last stranding and
end this slow death
given these my only options I chose to
end it quickly
but to trigger the last stranding I
needed you a part of me
here too
I would be able to witness Extinction
consummated with you by my side
but now that you're here there's another
choice
you can cut me off
an ee doesn't have that option for
itself
but in my nightmares I saw another
future one that you chose
one where Extinction is Hope
against total annihilation
[Music]
so Sam was found as a baby by her she
said she pulled the trigger twice that
day oh
okay
she pulled the trigger twice that day
which made it sound like she killed my
parents
but
I don't know who they are it showed her
putting a cross on my belly
which is why he has that scar on his
stomach
and then she doing that
brought me back to life or at least let
me
survive again
but why Sam
he said you found him and you just
wanted to save him and everything but
I don't get Hawaii
I'm still dissecting a lot of it
um maybe something else will happen at
the end of this I don't know Sam still
have the drum all he wants though
Trump to the song Sam
there you go
um
all right see now I'm blocking the crown
it's now I ruined it
so she's an Extinction entity brought
into existence for the sole purpose of
guiding Humanity into its death into its
Extinction
other creatures in the past have done
that as well
creatures have been born to lead
their world into Extinction
but the thing about this is that you're
not leading just humans into Extinction
you're leading everything into
Extinction
and then because she was born
the beach was created
the beach was created because she is the
beach she is all of this she is the
death stranding she is the beach
she is the extinction entity it's all
the same
creating her Beach then built a bridge
but she found she found Sam as a baby
for whatever reason maybe that was
explained and I glossed over it but she
had the baby
it seemed like he was dead and then she
brought him back to life and sent him
back which created a repatriot
and created Dooms which connected him to
her
and then that started spreading to other
people so other people were Dooms were
seeing crazy [ __ ] based on her dreams
and then doing that opened up the beach
or other beaches
for everybody and the people who died
were able to come back anybody who had
died before were able to come back to
the world of the living and of course
dead anti-matter particles interacting
with real human real life particles
collide
annihilate each other because a dead
person and an alive person can exist in
the same place
and that creates a void out which
explodes everything around it creating
more dead people to try and come back
creating more void out so it seems like
it's an escalation thing
and then creating the chiral network was
a way of her to try and stop it but it
connected all of the beaches together
connected every single person's Beach
together and hers on top of it basically
this is very loud
basically like a node structure where
hers is the top node
and then all of these branches come out
and attach to all these beaches
which were all different points and then
when you connect the chiral Network
I'd have to draw it out
this is my understanding
oh what the [ __ ] was happening
so you have her [ __ ] name is so
stupid by the way I don't like that at
all soul is a lie
um
I don't know how to spell it so you have
her at the top
that's her Beach
that's the the main point
then you have all these others imagine
that
okay let's just do this
you have all these other points then
coming from her Beach down these are
everybody else's Beach just imagine this
seven billion times
and then you have
our world down here
that was connecting back to this
so the chiral network was connecting
back to the beaches with everything that
I was doing and all of these strands and
bridges were connecting our world back
to the world of the Dead which was
connecting it back to Amelie who's the
extinction entity
but connecting all of the Cairo Network
so many times ended up making this one
all the beaches ended up connecting
together and then she had control over
all of it
so I think that that means then that she
could just send the world of the dead
and the world of the living colliding
which creates the last trending which
ends at all
I think I'm not sure this is a very
crude picture from what I'm trying to
say but this is in my mind what it
looked like I could be completely wrong
because it's very hard to understand and
I don't know if it's hard to understand
because it's very complex or it's hard
to understand because it's
because it's
uh communicated poorly
can I
I still don't know what my job is here
am I supposed to shoot myself
I can't even help you here
but it still has a role to play
uh what
reconnect with the living
foreign
I was the one that brought you and Cliff
together again there was something I
wanted you to know you were never
abandoned
and you're not alone see my dad
would you see
you have to live
what
whoa
see them the five that's what I was
talking about those are the five
Extinction entities
yeah cause I was trying to figure out
why Cliff also had the same scare on his
stomach
[Music]
he has the same scar as Sam has in the
stomach and I was gonna make
the joke earlier or not the joke but I
was just gonna say that maybe Cliff's
his dad
yes
I'm trying to get back but everything's
very slow
I mean he might not be his dad at all
that's so cool
can you guys get me out I see him this
way
oh my God
he's over there is
[Music]
over here
that's so creepy
I hope I'm not making any mistakes here
she's in white now
don't give up
you're still connected
[Music]
gotcha
those five could be the other five
characters though as well Hartman
Deadman die Hardman
uh mama lochner and
Hartman or fragile
okay one of those I missed but I think
there's five characters there as well
hi
did you use BB to fight me
oh
I found my body
[Music]
okay
it was all great oh
do I get an stopped the last stranding
this is awesome
Ty Hardman so
okay
217.
is that a good grade Mommy
[Music]
I was waiting for some twist that like
Sam was mass Mickelson's character or
Sam was the first Bridge baby your Sam
is Bibi something like that
oh it would make sense then that
Cliff died
trying to protect Bibi trying to protect
Lou
but he came back because they said that
Amelie brought him back to do all of
this that's why he is the scar on his
stomach as well
so maybe it's only repatriots who have
it
ah that would make so much more sense
because I kept thinking of repatriots as
going to the beach and coming back but
no repatriots go to the seam and come
back
the theme then
would be here
between this area it's technically kind
of on this line so you're from this
world you die you go to the beach the
beach then has the walking Point into
the Afterlife past Amelie pass all of
this up here and you walk into the water
you die you move on to whatever
existence is next in this universe but
the seam then is in here
the wavy watery area which is cool
because everything's kind of upside down
you go to the beach and then you die and
you go to the scene but the seam is like
just above the beach instead of being
down below it or whatever
um
or I guess the scene would be up here
because this that was above Amelie's
Beach
um
wait how did dead man oh cause he's a
dead man
that makes a lot of sense dead man could
come to the seam and grab me and come
back and so could Bibi because they're
both dead
those that are dead and come back
because he's 70 dead people
but Hartman and those guys are different
because they're not fully dead for too
long have we lived as strangers to one
another
divided by walls built to keep us safe
but now with the completion of the Cairo
Network we may at last move forward as a
people United
today we come together to celebrate the
birth of a new nation
a new nation for a new world
the United cities of America
I once took an oath to support and
defend the Constitution of the United
States
and though that proud Republic may be no
more
we remain
and so as your president I hereby swear
to support and defend you the people
let there be no more walls between us
Norm asks to hide Who We Are
oh no he's hot
let there be
a new America
an America where we can face one another
where we can speak our minds and open
our hearts
now the old ways die hard
but I believe my fellow Americans that
we have the strength and the courage to
rise above our past and embrace our
future
the death stranding is a part of that
past
an enduring shadow
a constant reminder of what could have
been
that we stand here today is Testament
not to the greatness of any one
individual but to our capacity to come
together
to the bonds between us
to our Collective greatness
all things must come to an end
ourselves included
but as long as we Savor each moment
find joy in the promise of Tomorrow
Embrace hope and reject despair we will
endure
president
Bridget Strand and her
daughter Samantha America strand
sacrificed everything
in their pursuit of Hope
that we the people
might be whole again
that they are
not here today to see the fruits of
their labor fills us all with the
profound sadness
but we find comfort in the knowledge
that
their memories will live on in the
chiral Network
and in our hearts
we will always remain connected
there is another hero in this story
one whose achievements seem destined to
go unrecognized
America still needs that hero
that person without whom we would not be
here
the name is unimportant
but you know who I mean
and
for that unsung hero I have a message
it was you who brought us together
you who made us whole again
and while you and I will eventually pass
on
Sam
tired of being the unsung hero
done is all she's gone come on wait
there's something I need to tell you
huh this doesn't bother you anymore
well that's great
now
wouldn't you like to know how we brought
you back from the beach
we were going to use the doll but didn't
have one handy which is when I
remembered something else
ah what I think it is
yes what could be more connected to
Amelie's Beach than president's trans
umbilical cord
Hartman thought that's why she left it
with me in the first place unfortunately
it didn't work
yeah she'd already cut her Beach loose
it was just gone
we didn't know if that meant she dragged
you into the great beyond or sent you to
some other Beach
we were really racking our brains
Hartman and Mama split up and started
searching every Beach you might feasibly
have washed up on we looked for a month
with absolutely nothing to show for it
a month on the outside
how long on the inside trust me when I
tell you you don't want to know but
don't worry
we found no signs of accelerated aging
in the end this is what led us to you
just when we were about to give up Die
Hard Men reminded us about the revolver
so we tried to follow it and it led us
to a far corner of your own Beach
and bingo there you were Mama made
visual contact first she was able to see
you from her vantage point on the other
side she informed lachna via their
connection and Hartman confirmed your
location during his subsequent nde
the plan was for fragile to in essence
slingshot Lou and me to your position so
we could rescue you
but it's not so easy to send multiple
individuals to another person's speech
for an extended period of time
and that's where the umbilical cord came
in
we wove these from president strand's
DNA
they serve as a single knot that binds
us all
the president must have known all of
this would happen
ironic isn't it the gun that set this
whole mess in motion
ends up being the key to saving you
I'm away she said I had another purpose
not a weapon
but a lifeline
a stick that became a rope a I suppose
that's one way of putting it
oh Sam
I have no idea how long I've been
waiting to give you a hop
something else to tell you top secret
it's about cliff
bibi's mother's name was Lisa Bridges
Cliff's common law wife Lisa Bridges
uh now Cliff was killed by a man
identified in the records only as John
former U.S Special Forces
quite good at it by all accounts later
appointed as an aide to the president
who used him for most of her wet work
the records go on to state that he
vanished after Cliff's death a warrant
was put out but he was later founded
Mass covers it up
turns out some people die harder than
others though
Dear John down the mask and reappeared
with a new identity
but you can't fool the chiral Network we
restored the old records and Mama hid
them deep in the archives
you're the only one besides us with
access privileges
take a look if you're so inclined
but don't say I didn't warn you
the president's got some dirty dirty
laundry
[Music]
I don't trust him
that I'll work with him if that's what
it takes
we'll talk later
Sam
I don't expect you to forgive me
but would you hear me out
I killed
Captain Clifford Bunger
I would tell you I did it for America
for love of country
but I didn't
I did it for her
because I loved her with all my heart
she was everything to me
everything
now I'm not trying to make excuses
I just want you to know
if not a day's gone by when I haven't
thought about it
time didn't help
or the mask
please
let me finish
he
the captain
saved my life
you know why they call me die Hardman
because he wouldn't let me die
he brought my sorry ass back home every
time
and I
loved him
as much as I
loved her
and
when he stared me down
that ghost
I knew he was here to kill me
to make it right
and why shouldn't he
oh
why
didn't he
he couldn't save us
kid
his baby
and that's what brought him back
I guess when he's
so I was trying
to do my part
for America
he remembered
who he was
and he forgave me
God
but I don't deserve it God damn it
there is no attorney for what I've done
no
[Music]
laughs
[Music]
but maybe
maybe this is the next best thing
[Music]
maybe he brought me back from the beach
for a reason
one last time
[Music]
he wanted me to do this
to keep on being
die Hardman
no
he didn't
nobody wants a president who acts like
they're immortal
and if you're not scared of death how
can you value life
and life is pretty [ __ ] fragile right
now
and yeah the old ways die hard
but that's what's gonna have to happen
if we're going to come together and
build a better America
that gun will help you here
that's her words not mine
foreign
okay
that motion capture in his face was
unbelievable
hey Sam
been waiting for you Lou
dead
poor thing I was never truly alive not
in this world
the decommissioning order finally came
through
can't raise necrosis
the body can't stay here
I thought you might want to take care of
it
you could try taking Lou out of the pot
just to see what happens
but that would be in direct
contravention of an executive order
and there are laws about that kind of
thing
Now That We're a nation
[Music]
just couldn't bring myself to do it
[Music]
but
if the alternative is defined the
president
I can't do that either
not me
all right
I'll go to the incinerator
oh God
before you leave
I'd like to check something quickly
I just took your cufflinks offline
in that state there'd be nothing to stop
you from removing them
if you did the UCA wouldn't know where
you were or how to find you
be invisible
when you use the incinerator you'll be
reconnected to the network automatically
I trust you'll remember what I said
all right absolutely
[Music]
thanks for everything
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
I was wondering if she was gonna show up
how's the weather
don't think you'll be needing an
umbrella
I decided to follow my father's dream
after all
don't worry I won't get mixed up with
any terrorist this time
uca's got my back we're the first
private delivery company to get the
official approval sounds like you're
moving up in the world
congratulations thanks
wait
there's something I have to tell you
I didn't shoot Hicks
couldn't pull the trigger
[Music]
so I let him choose
death or Eternal Solitude on the beach
fair enough
you never did like breaking things
that's right
I find and fix what's broken
and reconnect
I'm fragile
but not about fragile
you want to come work for me
could use a man like you
the world's still broken
same as before
what isn't
but we're still here
we're still chugging along
not everyone
not me
come on you put America back together
didn't you
please for me
I've got no ties to anyone or anything
I might as well be dead
I felt like that when we first met in
the cave
I still do don't act like you're the
same person
you've learned how to touch to feel
you've connected with people
with us
everything I touch I lose
Sam
foreign
okay I actually have to bring Lou to the
incinerator
lay BB to rest oh so could I
could I technically just do
other missions if I wanted to oh this is
sad
I'm gonna lay my little BB to rest
we've been through so much together
oh
okay
oh oh I can't actually equip my thing so
this does that mean
the cliff and that Lisa lady wore
my parents does that mean that Sam
was that BB in the big in those
flashbacks
I I'm confused on that part because he
said
that
no
[Music]
oh
I could just talk to Lou
she said I used the trigger twice that
day
assuming killing Lisa and cliff
and then she found Sam dead
and picked him up and saved him
[Music]
and then he said that the mom was Lisa
Bridges and that he Cliff called the
lady on the table Lisa as well
[Music]
so maybe they are connected like that
God this is gorgeous
it's so weird to be completely free
and not be beholden to anything in the
game
to just freely run through the
environment
[Music]
but that oh that opens up a can of worms
then of
this is this not the BB then or are me
and this baby the same thing
because that was that is what that would
mean then either I'm wrong and then
they're not my parents and this BB has
nothing got to do with me or I'm right
but that would also mean that this BB is
me
and maybe that's why we have a special
connection
I have no idea uh Igor's ladder
I forget which is the best way to get up
to this area
let's go this way
man
it's still a little confusing but a lot
more of it made sense by the end
die hardman's character I'm still like
I don't really know what's going on with
you man some of this stuff is kind of
confusing as the way they explained it
and a lot of the characters are very One
Note
like even though Sam has gone through
some stuff
he's probably had the most progress in
it but a lot of the characters kind of
just seem stuck in their own
uh character traits and they don't
really deviate far beyond that so it's
kind of hard to get really invested in
who they are
God this looks so [ __ ] good
this song is also amazing
I was I haven't been reacting to it but
I've I've listened to this song a bunch
before the game came out
I don't have my power gloves
[Music]
I like it though
I wonder if
when I played this game
I wonder if you can still keep going
after this
I wonder if I can actually access these
archives that they talked about God it's
been so long it's so cool that the game
ends the way it started
with you coming here to incinerate some
something you love someone you love
[Music]
that's awesome because it just feels so
long since we've been here so that sense
of Journey really kicks in
I like that
oh but BB
all right
I guess we're here
are you still with me though
poor thing was never truly alive
not in this world at least
thanks for everything
foreign
[Music]
foreign
mankind can go anywhere
even outer space
you'll be out of there in no time
and the second all this is over I'm
gonna take you wherever you want to go
[Music]
can I help you
holy [ __ ]
John
is that you
captain
what are you doing here
my wife's checked in
I don't want to repeat it last year
the void out
in Manhattan
I'm so sorry
I didn't know you were the husband
[Music]
this isn't what we agreed on you said
you do everything in your power to save
baby we are
but we cannot release your son just yet
believe me when I tell you it's for the
best
assistant woman in The Mask who's done
nothing but lie to me
I have a duty to protect our country
lies are an unfortunate necessity
[Music]
use the mass to hide her identity so she
could continue doing the BB experiments
because they were supposed to be shut
down and decommissioned after Manhattan
the president gave me the highest level
access privileges
I've used them to manipulate the
security system
we have five minutes before it resets
sir
five minutes
to talk
off the Record
take BB and get out of this place
there's nothing I can do for your wife
I'm sorry
[Music]
you were my commanding officer but I
swore an oath to the president to
protect her and the country at all costs
now if she orders me to do something I
have to do it I have to
but I served under you first
and your family doesn't deserve this
any of this
why are you helping me
if they catch up because you saved my
life sir again and again
when the brass sent us into the jaws of
hell it was you that brought us home
back then I thought I was
invincible
I thought it was some kind of Action
Hero
but I'm not the hero
you are sir
you're the reason I'm still alive
and it's past time I paid that debt
[Music]
they're moving your son to a new
facility tomorrow
foreign
he'll serve as the foundation of a new
Communications Network
a sacrifice
for a nation that no longer exists
I wrote down everything you need to know
it was the only way to keep it off the
system
[Music]
Bernard when you're done
[Music]
the rest is up to you sir
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
I believe this belongs to you sir
I can't terminate your wife's life
support from inside her room
system won't allow it
so
this
is the only other option
an alarm is set to go off if she flat
lines
I break the system to swoop her vitals
but you won't have long
five minutes tops
[Music]
don't hesitate sir
this is the only chance you'll get
[Music]
foreign
laughs
[Music]
I'm sorry Lisa
don't worry
I'll take care of it I promise you
promise you
[Music]
my enemies
sorry Jesus
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
[ __ ] man
[Music]
maybe maybe
foreign
can you hear me these are all the things
we saw yeah from his perspective
so is that me
I'm still not sure
maybe there's more to it
that was cool though being able to see
it from the different perspective now my
heartman tried to help him
oh baby
I'm sorry little one
I just took your cufflinks offline
in that state there'd be nothing to stop
you from removing them
if you did you just take them off and go
or how to find you
when you use the incinerator you'll be
reconnected to the network automatically
what if that's why Sam can't touch
people you could try taking Lou out of
the pot because he was in a pod when he
was born but that would be in direct
contravention of an executive order I'm
being let out of the Pod gave him an
allergic reaction to other people
because he was never touched before
foreign
no try and take him out
Sam what are you doing
I don't want this awesome on that one
that sucks
yes
a purpose that cannot fulfill outside
the pot
there is a 70 risk of catastrophic
failure simply in removing it
uh
why the [ __ ]
hi Mom
[Music]
I'm sorry that Dad shot you
weird
that way or this way
oh that way
oh this is exciting I like this
it's Teddy

so he tried to escape with BB who I
still think is Sam
who's that
[Music]
these guys came from

see
just bouncing off everything

[Music]
[Applause]

[Music]
I know the way
[Music]
foreign
welcome back
you understand his days as a BB are over
now that his connection to the other
side has been severed
it was me who cut the cord
so yes
a deathless repatriate in the world of
the living
should we decommission
it's a matter of speaking
taken out of the pod
I'll raise him as my health
damn

foreign
Jesus Christ I just kept going and going
and going I thought it was never going
to end I felt like I just watched a
movie
holy [ __ ] oh my God what the hell
happened
every time every time Jesus that was
weird
so a lot of the stuff that was going on
in the game I I was talking about as it
was happening like on the beach and what
Amelie is and her role and all that I'm
very confused as to what happened here
at the ending
also what does that symbolize at the end
now that we're out is it is it over or
is it just oh dawning of a new day the
there was a lens flare of like a rainbow
and I don't know if it was just because
it was a lens flare but it had blue in
it and I think that they said that the
the chiral rainbows don't have blue in
them
so maybe that meant something
I don't know I need a moment to like sit
and collect my thoughts so I can form
good theories
[Music]
um
yeah we'll we'll wait for the I'll sit
and wait for the credits to end and
think and then we'll see if there's
something else do we get anything
oh we do
[Music]
oh
it's a little girl
that's really sweet oh God overall
Porter grade oh the best ever the
greatest of all type no total number of
structures built
69. nice
piece of last character picked up 139
pieces of lost character delivered 88
orders completed 110. it felt like 117
million
connections made 33 times BB shoes BB
connection level
I mean I could have gotten better I know
overall rating jacksepticeye
uh
damn
total likes received 66 000.
I received 30k from regular NPCs and 35
000 from other players thanks Gamers
that's you that's everybody at home
okay I got a bunch of songs because the
game ended
my name is Cliffs change color scheme
yeah I wonder what can I just is there a
new game plus or can I just play the
game open world still or is it just
ending do I have to start a new game
I would like to find out
I'm gonna sit here forever
episode 15 tomorrow is in your hands
that's the tagline for the game
two weeks earlier what
kind of blood collection complete thank
you for your generation so where and
what am I now
well locals awake
morning you'll be happy to hear your
vitals have stabilized and that you're
well on your way to recovery
ah
not that it's your fault but what I
wouldn't give to trade places
we're all stuck in the president's
office working like dogs to get
everything ready in time for the
inauguration but at least one of us is
still free as a bird you should head out
of it could even do some orders if you
wanted might do you good to get back in
the game
you may recall it was raining buckets
back when you left for Amelie's Beach
we took a real beating at the time but
we've done our best to service the
structures and vehicles in the area
so you know any cargo that was stored in
your private Locker at a damaged
facility should have been transferred to
your private Locker here at this time
anyway busy or not we'll still be on the
end of the line if you need us and if
you want some alone time we should be
able to manage for now
just make sure you're back in time for
the big deal right see you then
hey Sam
you sure you don't have any unfinished
business
okay weird last line
so that's that's kind of interesting so
it goes two weeks ago so the whole stuff
anomaly is done
but
hey 672 likes you should put those in at
the end and give you a better grade
um the silver Emily is dark but the
stuff of the president and the cutscene
and everything at the end is not oh
there's my big whale so when you defeat
stuff it goes on the table
and then you go off and you do your
stuff and when you come back again then
it ends up on this table
I know Sam
uh is Emily here because she should be
she should have her all her whole own
thing
crazy lady
um
so I guess you can just head out and do
whatever you want
just finish more orders if you want just
keep going that's good though I like
when open world games do that
and this actually made it logical almost
like I have nothing on me right now
no orders for Sam though you can deliver
you can deliver drugs until you're blue
in the face though ASAP
not fun you love delivering drugs have a
pleasant journey it's on my hip
there's something on my right hip well
not fully on my hip but
my right side what is that
you can see it underneath my elbow
that wasn't always there
or was it and I'm a lunatic
I could very much well be a lunatic it
could be an extra pouch for something
all right well that does it for death
stranding I guess
that
Sam is a bridge baby he's not the bridge
baby he's not BB 28 bb28 is just some
random other BB but he has a super
strong connection to BB because him
being one in the first place has given
him a super strong connection to those
uh entities in this world
um but Cliff's dad and Bray or Lisa
Bridges is his mom and that's why
they're called Bridge babies because
they're the the babies of the bridges
basically I think he was the first in
these new experiments after Manhattan
and they were testing out the BB stuff
and all that went to [ __ ] and the void
outs happened then they started
experimenting with Bridget and die
Hardman and uh cliff and Lisa and their
baby was to become a bridge baby
um and maybe that's why they're called
because it's a a baby of the bridges
cliff and Lisa all those Lisa Bridges
and Cliff Unger instead of just Cliff
Bridges I whatever
uh names or names you don't have to take
each other's names but
he's also a bridge to different worlds
basically and Sam himself is the bridge
to
the future and he's the one bridging
everyone together so his name has a
thousand different of the same meaning
I I just don't know why he's called Sam
the entire time Cliff was calling him
Bibi does that mean Bridget just started
calling him Sam randomly
because she found him on the B his name
was Bibi the entire time he was in the
pod
and then he got shot and then Emily
found him on the beach and called him
Sam immediately so who's calling him Sam
is that just a name you gave him
immediately
maybe Sam has another meaning
it could have a very strong religious
meaning as well that I'm not getting
maybe that parrot crossed over me you'll
have to forgive me if some parts flew
over my head there's a lot of dialogue
in this game there's a lot of exposition
there's a lot of dialogue there's a lot
of characters saying a lot of stuff but
saying nothing at the same time
let's talk about the game in general the
game in general I really liked overall I
really liked the game was it as good as
people expect it to be no I I don't
think it ever could have been because
people's expectations are just way too
high and Kojima is a master at mystery
and then delivering all this mystery in
the super cool cinematography and then
the Game ending up being exactly what it
is it was never going to live up to the
hype nobody
could have made the game that everyone
thought that this was going to be
because that game just doesn't exist
because people had just such crazy
interpretations of what this was going
to be
the the gameplay Loop of it I thought I
would hate as soon as I learned that it
was a walking simulator I was very very
cynical
I was even talking to Troy about it uh
like ages ago he he didn't tell me
anything about it really because he
can't
um and as much as I would have loved to
figure out what the game was ages and
ages ago he the way he was talking about
it and the way he was kind of explaining
what the game was going to be again he
didn't say much
but just little like tidbits here and
there
um
and I I was worried that the game
he basically said what was in the
trailers is what the game is and that
was it so I was getting worried that the
game was just walking the game turns out
is just walking there's a little bit of
combat here and there but the game by
and large 80 of the game was just
walking from A to B delivering packages
now on paper that sounds like [ __ ]
torture that sounds horrible that sounds
like something I do not want to do that
sounds like fetch Quest the game
and technically that's exactly what it
is but for some reason I still really
liked it so there's something in the
gameplay Loop that I maybe it's just
because those types of things are
addicting maybe it's just because the
scenery kept changing I'm a sucker for
scenery the scenery being absolutely
gorgeous to look at some of the best
scenery I've ever seen in a video game
and some parts of this game are some of
the most photoreal I've ever seen a
video game look at some sections it was
the best looking video game I'd ever
seen it's a little inconsistent though
like the dilapidated buildings on the
way to the Nintendo Wii Building look
like [ __ ] they they looked so boxy and
normal and the lighting and everything
just suits the environment uh outside of
that like the nature more so when you
bring it into actual recognizable
buildings the fact that nothing is
really recognizable in this
is very good it really sells it a lot
more as soon as the snow started
happening it still looks really good as
a video game but it stops looking photo
real because I don't know maybe your
brain is just better at
acclimatizing to that or maybe it's just
harder to do that I don't know but some
scenes like walking up to that weather
station with that big giant satellite on
it was the [ __ ] prettiest thing in
this whole game
and I just I'm just a sucker for that
I'm a sucker for scenery every time we
go out and we're just walking around
when I was on tour I used to just love
looking at places and how things looked
and just looking at Vistas and
all that kind of stuff I'm a sucker for
that so for me the world of this game
was drop dead gorgeous the sound design
is is top tier quality you'll be
hard-pressed to find better sound design
in video games this is like upper
echelon type of stuff and very few games
delve into that level of sound some
games have good sound but it's all
manufactured sounds this sounds like
they really went out and just captured
millions of sounds to make it seem like
it was real every Buckle every fastening
every zip every footstep every
everything had a tiny minute little
sound and it's something that you that
goes over your head because you just
don't think about it because it just it
sounds real but as someone like me who
absolutely adores sound design and was
studying it for a while this is really
[ __ ] hard [ __ ] to do
and they nailed it some of the weirder
creature designs and everything are so
good that [ __ ] cutscene
where they've at the very beginning of
the game with the corpse disposal unit
with the guy he wrapped up and then his
face turns gold and starts shaking that
first cutscene that was the trailer they
released
is one of the best cutscenes I've ever
seen in a video game the way the
cinematography was that handheld camera
the way it's all just one shot which is
something that uh video games really
allow you to do God of War is another
really great example the entire game is
one shot but you don't have to hide it
in edits because it's a video game
but that cutscene is just such a good
amalgamation of great acting
phenomenal cinematography and
world-class sound design that moment
when that giant BT is there and you hear
that like
kind of sound as the guys being lifted
up and he's stabbing himself and then
they're [ __ ] twinkly lullaby music
kicks in
it doesn't get any better than that
that's top tier stuff that's movie
quality stuff in a video game and this
game really does feel like a movie if
you cut out a lot of the walking around
and everything which still Services the
plot and the story and the gameplay and
all that kind of stuff but that Jesus
Christ there's so much movie quality
stuff in this game so as a technical
achievement and a technical product
it's outstanding I cannot sing its
Praises enough for the visuals the the
motion capture is some of the best I've
ever seen the skin the little nuances of
characters some characters looked better
than others I think Mass Mickelson's
character and uh die hardman's character
Tommy Earl Jenkins they there's
something about their character models
that just was way above everybody else
um because Norman Reedus's character had
like little stubble and everything but
Max Mickelson's character had the dots
of follicles and the tiniest little bits
of hair like he grows a beard super fast
and he hasn't shaved in a day that kind
of stubble and that type of detail was
nuts
it was so cool now in regards to the
story
I think the story's concept and I think
it's premise is a lot better than its
execution I think it's stumbled in a
couple of places I think it got overly
bogged down in its own
Exposition at times
that it was just throwing phrases and
sentences and world and plot and all
this stuff at you in such sizable chunks
that it was really hard to digest the
pacing of the game was all over the
place it could have been done a lot
better as well
um there were some sections where it was
like the first two hours of the game is
like 30 minutes of gameplay
and then between our like 5 and 15 is
all gameplay and there's very little
cutscenes in it so it's a little
lopsided now and then and then when the
dialogue and the exposition all that
stuff shows up it's just a lot of terms
that you have to come to deal with and
it was only by near the end of the game
that I started and only because I delved
into all of the documents and actually
wrote down
like my own examination notes that I
actually started to understand what the
hell people were talking about because
it's a lot of stuff labeled
badly
but saying a simplistic thing
like the beach technically being limbo
but calling them a beach I know it fits
into the lore and the plot and the story
and everything and everything is very
consistent with itself but it felt like
these weird terms to call something
when really it was a simplistic thing to
understand so I think calling it
something different
like calling it a beach instead of limbo
or maybe technically it's not limbo but
you get what I'm trying to say
calling it a beach instead of limbo
every time you're hearing Beach then
you're just imagining an actual Beach
and it comes it takes you ages to try
and figure out what the beach actually
is and then they talk about transferring
data through it
and it just gets so bogged down and [ __ ]
that I'm like okay it took me it takes
me a minute to just try and like figure
out what they're saying and then I'm
like oh this is this and that's that oh
yeah that makes sense now
and some would argue that yes it's
convoluted and that's the genius of
Kojima
but I would say that it's overly
convoluted for the sake of sounding
smarter than it is
and that's not to take away from what it
actually is the concepts and all of that
is amazing the vision he had for this
game I'll get to that in a second but
it just feels like he likes the sound of
certain things and then he just throws
those words onto things
and that ends up making it sound way
more convoluted than it actually needs
to be I think some of the stuff I'm all
for ambiguity I'm all for vagueness and
mystery and revealing plot when the
moment is necessary I absolutely eat
that [ __ ] up that is my forte that is
exactly what I love in storytelling that
is my type of Storytelling but I think
trying to make it sound more complex
than it is by labeling things all this
different weird [ __ ] does does not
service the plot in any way and calling
people weird names like dead man and die
hard man and Hartman
they all had an explanation and it was
all logical but it's all
it's all just nothing it's all this
weird
bananas stuff that some people love
because it's Kojima and they love that
kind of weirdness more power to you I'm
glad that you like that stuff I
personally think that the story
is so has so much potential and so much
of it was so serious a lot of the time
that little things like that kind of
pulled me out I'm all for jokey comedic
moments but just when the time was right
and in this it felt like the timing was
kind of off every now and then I was
like super into it and then like a good
example is all the weird [ __ ] in the
private room with Norman all that stuff
is delightful go for it it's all weird
it's all wacky and all kind of
I guess is like perpendicular to the
game and kind of clashes with some of
the themes because it's so goofy and
like the otter hat and all that stuff
but those have their moments and those
work
but then like serious scenes and then a
crypto bio shows up and you try and grab
it and then Dead Man's like haha Finders
Keepers and then he burps in your face
all that stuff kind of felt a little
childish and a little out of place I
think it has a place it's just in
certain scenes they fit in weirdly
um
what else can we talk about I've talked
about the story and what actually
everything means and hopefully a lot of
that actually makes sense a lot of it I
still just don't know
um but I think I got a good grasp of it
and I think I explained a lot of stuff
pretty well as it was going on and then
by the end of the game stuff started to
unfold and it all started to make more
sense as we were doing it so I still
don't know why Cliff has the scar
maybe Emily brought him back
um just to sum up Emily Bridget exact
same person one is in this world and one
is in the other world one is on the
beach one is here Bridget is the
physical manifestation of her that's why
she ages
um but they're the same entity basically
like lochner and Mama they're they're
the same thing now because mama is
on the beach forever but she's merged
with lochner
um as the same character so the same
concept the only difference with Amelie
is that she's an Extinction entity so
she's extremely powerful she has all of
this Supernatural ability to be able to
pass on to other people and share it
with them basically she has The Shining
um
so she was able to she was an Extinction
entity just brought into existence
because humanity and the world needs an
Extinction event to keep in check and
keep things rolling and keep it all
balanced whatever
so she was just brought into existence
and she was living along and then she
didn't know what was happening and she
was Bridget and she was Amelie and then
by her 20s that's when [ __ ] started to
kick in by her 20s that's when people
started to realize what she is or maybe
she started to realize what she is but
until then she was just an extension
Extinction entity waiting for the time
for stuff to kick off then the Manhattan
thing happened they were
delivering a baby emergency C-section I
don't know if the baby and those people
and that stuff actually has a lot of
really big significance who they
actually are
um but I at the end of the day it
doesn't really matter then they were
delivering that baby
okay this is where stuff actually gets a
little weird
so okay this happened a year before
Sam's stuff the year before that bridge
baby was put the cross on by Emily on
the beach before that bridge maybe we
shot before Sam was shot as a bridge
baby and brought to the beach Emily
fixed him up and sent him back because
she had a strong connection to him
whatever again that part's not important
but the important part is sending him
back opened that bridge before it was
just our world Beach afterlife all
disconnected but her doing that her
being in our world and there was a
connection already I guess yeah that
makes sense then
she was a bridge between Both Worlds
somewhat of a small connection and then
bringing Sam and sending him back opened
up that connection more and then
suddenly
there's a character that's in our world
that shouldn't be in our world that the
dead went back so because the dead want
him back they're floating into our world
and trying to get him back and just
suddenly the gates open and they realize
that and they're able to get through
before that though in the Manhattan one
I guess the bridge is already kind of
open because of Emily and Bridget so
they came through after the baby was
the mother was brain dead and then the
baby was delivered C-section and then I
guess that opens up the bridge a little
more something came through a BT uh
interacted with particles in our world
boom void out everyone dead Manhattan
exploded
fast forward a year
they're doing the BB experiments she has
the die Hardman mask on because the die
Hardman mask blocks out your identity
apparently I think that's what he said
it did
um or at least dead man said about his
oh no he took it off he said it hides
more than just my face so it hides your
identity in your existence because he
had no records so she had that on so
Bridget the president of America could
continue the BB experiments
probably because she knew what was going
to happen she knew that BBS needed to
exist to bridge gaps open up chiral
networks
um all that kind of stuff to either
further the extinction event or prevent
it but at that point I don't think she
even knows she just is and she's she's
working on instinct
then
bringing him back opens that up further
then all of a sudden that break that
Gateway is open bigger than it ever had
been before and suddenly void out
started happening everywhere AKA death
stranding so that's when the death
stranding started happening that
Manhattan thing was the first void out
that happened but the death stranding
itself was the EXT those was the mass
one that killed a bunch of people so a
bunch of void outs happened at once
particles interacting with each other
annihilating each other boom void out
um
so that that's that
and then things just start progressing
they start using Bridge babies to
sacrifice to open up chiral relays and
then the cupid interacts with that to
further the software to open up the
chiral Network the chiral Network then
uses the beaches to send information
basically opening up that bridge bigger
than it ever had been and Amelie being
an Extinction event
that relay being often I talked about my
my picture here of it all being one
beach controlled by her is basically
like a magnifying glass and a prism to
create the last stranding
there's a lot more Nuance in the than
that there's a lot more to talk about in
regards to that but I think I have a
pretty good understanding of what the
story is by now
um but I'll gladly Listen to More
theories in the comments I'm going to go
off and watch a bunch of ton of videos
on what it actually all means to see if
my theory is align with everything else
this is just my interpretation of what
I've
accrued over it but I've done a lot of
like reading in this game and everything
so I think I get it
um but I'd gladly be wrong and discuss
it and debated because I love this [ __ ]
[Music]
um
getting back to like characters and
stuff and the actual game itself the
gameplay
works when it's delivering stuff I liked
it when I was delivering stuff I liked
it when I could go to different places
and deliver things and climbing over
mountains and everything it's tedious
but it works it's what the game is
designed to do first and foremost so
that part works when the combat kicks in
I hate the combat with a fiery [ __ ]
passion because it just wasn't fun
I think when you start doing the
shooting mechanics and everything that's
when the third person shooter kicks in
and whatever about delivering stuff
being fun that's subjective because the
idea of the game is struggle and strain
to get to where you need to be and when
you finally get there and you take that
shower and everything it really makes
you feel relieved but the combat I feel
like is the most video gamey aspect of
it and it just didn't feel good yeah
that's a better way of putting it not
that I didn't feel fun it didn't feel
good it felt like I was constantly
fighting against the mechanics of the
game that when I was shooting then I
also had to deal with the cargo and I
also had to deal with the balance the
cargo and the balance are the key
fundamentals of the game but then when
you start putting shooting into it and
all these other characters are barely
affected by it and I have to do all this
combat while also doing all that other
stuff it fell apart it was super
annoying very frustrating I got very
angry at the game at times
because it's laggy
this game suffers what a lot of modern
games do Uncharted 4 was the same and I
complained about it in that series too
it's just too many animations it's very
realistic it's very good looking
but when it comes to fundamentally
playing the game it's laggy it's
unresponsive it's annoying
for regular deliveries it's fine it's
perfect it does what it needs to do
because you have your time you have your
pace you can go at whatever Pace you
want but when combat kicks in when BTS
kick in everything completely falls
apart because
you're suddenly having to do these fast
reactionary things with a game that's
not built around fast reactionary
movements and you saw it in some
instances it's really hard to Showcase
all those times when I'm like falling
all over the place and characters are
moving further than they should be it's
all because I'm not doing anything
sometimes the characters just fall over
sometimes they're walking in One
Direction the momentum of all the
character on their back carries them
forward the Troy fight was a good
example the Higgs one
on the beach because I kept trying to
hide behind rocks but he kept walking a
little further than he should be he
wanted a tiny movement was like a couple
of steps and that [ __ ] drives me insane
I hate that stuff
um and then trying to get away from
mules and trying to hit them and
sometimes the animation was longer the
Troy fight's a good example as well
sometimes it's a punch sometimes it's a
wind-up punch where he goes like this
and backhands them and I have literally
no control over any of that and that
[ __ ] gets very frustrating when you're
trying to do when I know what I need to
do I'm trying to do it and then I'm
fighting the game's controls to do it
so that stuff I didn't like delivering
exploration all that stuff it's exactly
what it should be and I really enjoyed
that but the combat and the boss fights
and that stuff not so much well the boss
fights were fine they were just too easy
and the only times I really died was
because of that stuff again where I got
bogged down in the tower and the inky
Blackness and I was trying to get away
and suddenly everything's just super
sluggish and slow and it just falls
apart
um
but whatever it didn't ruin the entire
game for me I still liked it that's what
I need to reiterate as well I still
really like the game the story the
concepts the premise the world the sound
design
[ __ ] amazing and it's just little
things here and there that built up to
big things and kind of pissed me off and
in a game this long and this like
tedious to do it just kind of
shines a light on them a bit more
um
the characters in the game I didn't
really care for I I just didn't really
have a connection to any of them I like
Sam I like Bibi
um I like Mass Mickelson's character
because he had depth Mass Mickelson's
character has the most depth in the game
even Beyond Norman Reedus's character
everybody else is like I don't care like
they were saying things and you were
supposed to be attached to them and
everything I just I wasn't feeling
invested in them and then it kind of
makes some of the ideas gloss over
because I'm just sometimes I kind of
zone out when they're talking because
they're just not saying anything
um
and the the whole premise of him going
west to do all this stuff it just didn't
feel like the key motivation was there
he was very stubborn he was very
astonish defender of him like no I'm not
doing this I'm not touching anybody I'm
not doing anything [ __ ] everybody and I
was like okay what are they gonna do to
convince him to do this and it's like no
Emily's out west and you need to go save
her just didn't really feel like that
that would be the spark to get that
character to go do that especially to go
all the way across America
90 on foot and almost die constantly it
does not feel like that character would
have done that and then when he got to
the end and it's like you need to come
back it just felt like all these things
were happening for the sake of happening
and the the pins to like really nail
that weren't there
um again the things that were happening
were fine it's just the way of getting
to them felt all over the place so
sometimes my enjoyment of the game was
like oh yeah uh oh yeah uh like it was
very up and down all the time but I'd
love to hear your thoughts
I'm trying not to be overly harsh in the
game but I feel like you're here
watching me play this game for like 30
hours at this point it's the longest
like story driven let's play I've done
on the channel God of War was the
longest at that point and that was 20
hours and this is about 30.
um but I feel like if you're here and
you're watching it and everything you're
here to hear my thoughts and my opinions
otherwise you can just go watch somebody
without commentary played if you really
don't want to hear anybody's opinions or
watch somebody who absolutely loves the
game if you don't want to hear any sort
of grievances about it
um I still really liked it I think it
could have been a lot better
but I still think what Kojima
accomplished was
really good
like to have that sort of vision to have
that sort of lore and that World
building it really does feel like a
world that's built and that there's a
lot of history to it so to have all of
that dialogue and all of that stuff
figured out and all these characters and
all that visual imagery the visual
imagery in the game was astounding
having like like a BB be a connection to
the other world like that baby is very
identifiable
everything just had such striking
imagery to it that as soon as you see it
you think about this game
like the strands kind of linking up and
they kind of look like wispy ghosty Inky
things [ __ ] insanely well done
the um crying after a chiral allergy
whatever like the convoluted terms and
everything very striking like seeing a
character just cry after something like
that kind of sticks in your head
the BTS themselves the umbilical cords
everything just had this really [ __ ]
cool look to it but I don't know how he
managed to pull that off so consistently
the mechanics the buildings their
structures the bikes the vehicles the
clothing everything just felt like it
belonged in that world it was so
insanely consistent with itself that
again I don't know how you think about
that [ __ ] it's an incredible artistic
and creative mind to be able to think up
of this and bring it to execution maybe
not the perfect execution but what this
game is and how they accomplished it and
what Kojima did from his brain onto
video game is nothing short of Wizardry
and for that I he has my utmost respect
and as a creative person myself who
wants to create worlds and wants to
create characters and lore and all of
this type of stuff that I'm I'm already
trying to do and figuring out how hard
it is to do that my hat is off to him
for that kind of stuff and this game was
made in three years
and I have no idea how you do that
either
um
but overall good game and I'm glad I
played it I'm glad you guys watched it
I'm glad we're here I'm glad we're at
the end of it and I'm glad we had an
experience because this is one of those
series that in 10 years from now 20
years from now I will still remember
playing this game for YouTube all of
these long let's plays that have such a
striking
like
it's just such a striking feel to them
and an atmosphere and a Vibe and we've
been here every day together living in
this and just having fun I'll never
forget it and I hope that you guys had a
lot of fun watching it
um share the series with other people if
they haven't watched it if they're on
the fence about that stranding I'd like
to think I did a decent job at the game
and the series overall uh leave a like
on this video and the series in general
if you enjoyed the whole thing
um if you found me through death
stranding why not consider subscribing
because there will be plenty of other
long let's plays coming in the future
and I really enjoyed this type of
content it's like this type of stuff is
why I started off YouTube in the first
place and I'm glad we're still here in
2019 seven years later still doing this
kind of stuff but I could talk all day
about this game maybe I'll do a live
stream at some point talking about it
more after I've learned more but this
video is too long as it is and I could
talk all day so thank you guys so much
for watching
um I had an amazing experience and until
the next series I'll see you then let's
let's um give one more send off Sam give
it to us
foreign
who knows Sam we'll never know
