Used a guide, because life is short and this game is long. So I'm meant to talk to Fragile by selecting Fragile jump in my room. I guess that makes sense but given it's only ever been for fast travel not sure how I would have worked that out as a method of communicating, or that Fragile could put you into a beach.

It's quite a nice story beat, that Fragile can't jump to Amelie as previously explained, but she can jump to Sam and Sam can get to Amelie through the things that bind each of them like knots on a strand. It may be a little on the nose but it still works, as does perhaps the first moment of consensual touch Sam allows in the game, after Fragile quietly says "I'll have to touch you" and he silently accepts. For all his weird sexualisation of some scenarios and badly worded dialogue, Kojima can still sell emotional beats when he needs to.

On the beach at last; ok, Higgs is Darth Vader now and has force powers. He creates a BT spiderweb and sets Amelie at the centre before a fourth wall breaking monologue about stick vs rope and one last boss fight: no items, final destination, Fox only.

It's Strandin' Time!

Ok this kind of... blows. It's a stealth segment where he can find out where you are almost instantly. Why the fuck wouldn't you take any weapons Sam? It's really hard to break line of sight. I know I need to throw the boxes to distract him but it's not working. Did manage to yeet one right in his dumb fucking face though. Didn't see that coming Mr. God Particle.

Ah fuck this; LEEROOOOOY mmJENKINS!! Decked the shit out of him then pivoted to bind and then kick the shit out of him some more. God, that's satisfying.

After a few rounds of that, "I don't need a gun Sam". Brave of you to say half way through the fight dickwad. Come at me.

When you were partying, I studied the strand. When you were learning how to control BTs, I mastered the parry mechanic. While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated inner strength. And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate you have the audacity to come to me for a boss fight and expect victory. Welcome to dirt, punk.

Oh, and apparently you don't need a gun but do need grenades. You're a real honourable warrior, Higgs. Truly the last of the samurai.

Kicked out a Snake-like "Aaaaaah" from him and it's over.

No. Wait. Round 3. "We got DOOMS, Sam! This was only ever gonna end one way." Ok, I... I don't know what that means but now we're in Tekken apparently. Health bars above our heads and everything. Oh no, it's Mortal Kombat, with the slow mo jaw break.

This...

This is kind of a shitty end to a boss fight... I'm literally hammering attack and winning it's just so incongruous with the rest of the game, should have left it at stage 2.

It's got dramatic music like it's meant to be the Snake and Liquid fight in MGS4 but I have no emotional connection to Higgs, in-game or out. He's just kind of a shithead, there's no brotherly bond here and he's not been established enough.

Ah multiple headbutts finisher. It is literally trying to be that MGS4 fight.

I know this isn't the end since Cliff's thing is still unresolved, but it is definitely trying hard to feel that way.

Oh shut the fuck up Higgs, stop with your "you won but still lost" bullshit. Fragile, kill the fuck out of him, please. Ugh, don't repeat I'm not that Fragile like it's your catchphrase.

Ha! Fuck you Higgs! Run out of BT juice. Oh... was that it? One punch. Also, don't just repeat "You're damaged goods" back to him like you're in a Joss Whedon film and that's an adequate comeback. Wow after a strong start this not-finale has been super anti-climactic.

Oh nope,she is going to shoot him. But offscreen. Fragile managed to bring Lou over too, nice. "Where should I take you?" Fragile asks, before Amelie butts in with "He doesn't need you, he's got me." Alright, calm down. Jealous much. But Sam is like "yeah you should go." Glad Fragile at least calls them both out on it.

Ok, so now Amelie says she could have left at any time basically, but did it to force Sam to connect the Chiral network.

And now we're "Mario and Princess Beach" running back home.

And now everything has gone insane. Now Bridget is here but maybe she's also Amelie and Die-Hardman is here to kill Bridget for fucking the world up and now Cliff is here and he knows Die-Hardman (who's real name is John) and Bridget is sending him after Sam but now she's Amelie again and behind Sam and tells him to run by pushing him in the sea, causing him to repatriate but in the repatriation sequence it's not BB inside Sam but one of those horrid dolls.

What the FUCK.

Ok and now I'm back in my room and Deadman tells me Amelie ported me here and then checked out to "finish what Bridget started" which I'm guessing may still mean blow up the world or the beach or something. Christ it has got very dense very quickly.

"We've been operating on the assumption, Higgs was controlling Cliff"; have we? News to me, I always assumed they were two separate antagonists given the Battlefield was entirely separate from Higgs' brand of goopy nonsense. So now Cliff has Amelie AND Die-Hardman on the beach. Great so things have gotten worse. Now Fragile can't port me to the beach either because reasons.

So I have to walk all the way back East all the fucking way because she transported all the secondary characters before me.

Thanks a fucking lot. This has been a real kick me while I'm down moment.

At least I don't need to carry anything there save protection and climbing gear. Hope I can at least drive some of it.

Ooh more flashback time. Looks like Bridget was intending to use BB as a sacrifice to build the UCA, unclear if by causing the Death Stranding or somehow starting the Chiral network.

Anyway now I'm walking these 6k or whatever back to Lake Knot. Some zipline help but one asshole put the zipline where the dismount is off a cliff. Sam echoes this though with a "nice zipline, asshole".

I also have no equipment, so stopping off at the paleontologist to gear up. Nice, a free bike too. Everything's coming up Bridges.

Oh fuck off Deadman, I don't want a Cliff notes session (pun intended), especially when you're just restating a bunch of theories. So Cliff wants BB to b whole, yep already gathered, the battlefield is tied to him due to his anger dragging his hellscape through with him. Sure, cool, can I get back to my drive now?

Oh come on... BTs can now spawn as catchers immediately, don't even need to grab you. Fuck this, I'm running. Sorry purple bike!

Jesus fucking christ Deadman, fuck OFF. Blah blah secret BB experiements were to make BT detectors but actually they were designed to make the Chiral network like I thought.

Oh.

They made the network by building all the cities with a BB integrated into each one.

Jesus Fucking Christ, I didn't see that coming...

That's some heavy shit man. This is that episode of Doctor Who with the space whale heavy.

While I ponder that horrific choice I'll inevitably have to make I am enjoying coming back and seeing how much bigger the highways have gotten in my absence. It's so fun to boost down them on a trike.

Another call from Deadman. Cliff put his BB in the care of the scientists but didn't know they were going to use the BB for the Chiral network, I assume he thought the experiments were benign per the lie told. Deadman says he's unsure how he was able to arrive on Bridget's beach and that there must be more to their connection so I'm going to go ahead and guess, he's Sam's father as well as the BB's, or he's a sibling of Bridget.

Fucking hell, another call from Deadman. Jesus give it a rest. No apparent connection between Die-Hardman and Bridget because his past has all been redacted, also suggested that Die-Hardman had no connection with Amelie/Bridget and that it's DH connection to Cliff that allowed him access to Bridget/Amelie's beach. God my head hurts.

Heartman's saying that the beaches are beginning to merge into a single seam, aside from the battlefield and Heartman's beaches. Amelie may have some kind of super bridge that controls all beaches which further my theory that she was BB patient zero.

Oh boy, big ol' Chiral storm, looks like it's battlefield time.

Flashback time, Cliff gives a sad speech about being a father and it looks like Die-Hardman killed Cliff under Bridget's orders.

Ok we're in Vietnam now and Cliff's wearing DH's mask. Comparatively this opener is less badass than the WWI and II battlefields but only in comparison. In any other games this would be a ridiculously cool moment. The arena itself excels as always, still not sure I could pick a favourite. Vietnam feels more linear but the mix of violent explosions, fire and oppressive silence and darkness work so well together.

Ok, I was wrong, actually reaching Cliff gives a supremely cool scene of Cliff and co marching through a lake of fire.

Another intense game of cat and mouse later and Cliff is finally down.

It's actually a really nice moment of emotional catharsis. Cliff begins to whistle a tune to BB and Sam completes it. It's not a big shock reveal, just a quiet mutual realisation that Cliff is Sam's father. They embrace and then a gunshot is heard and Cliff disappears, having first transitioned from combat gear to a suit, I hope implying his becoming whole and at peace. Despite minimal development until this past hour of exposition, Cliff has been a much more successful antagonist compared with Higgs.

Another flashback, DH is saying that Cliff should escape with his BB, but he will be forced to carry out any orders Bridget gives, hence the previous flashback. Seems DH was one of Cliff's soldiers. Still unclear if the woman lying on the bed, who is Cliff's wife, is the same person as Bridget. It's deliberately vague and when Bridget approached the BB in a previous scene her face was covered with DH'S mask.

Oh... Sam seems to think Cliff is Lou's father but that very much wasn't my take away from that scene. Deadman comes along with a recording of DH, says that Amelie left a message for him to get to the beach with one of Cliff's dolls. He knows it's a trap but plays along anyway and says Amelie also has no recorded past and made the point no one's ever met her in person. Seems to point to the fact that she may only exist on the beach.

DH says that her soul remained on the beach while her body deteriorated in the real world, but with high DOOMs abilities. She could then travel to the beach body and soul by the time she was 20 and the president said never contact Amelie except by hologram, but once the Chiral network was up and running DH checked the old records:

Bridget had uterine cancer in her 20s and never had children, yet Amelie is the spit of a younger Bridget, so... what's the connection?

Ok, now Fragile's here, and says Amelie was behind Higgs, she led the Demens and he abandoned Fragile when Amelie showed up, began the extinction initiative. She could control BTs and she was the one who turned Higgs into Homo Demens, able to command BTs at will. There was no BB in Higgs' chest pack either, only another of the dolls Cliff had.

But if that's all true, then why did she not just trigger the death stranding when Sam competed the network? Why did she need Sam to kill Higgs?

Another chapter closes but I feel we've still got a ways to go.

Delicious Vegan Chili-- Oh She Shines.

This set left behind a gouge on Collection's season, Wenger's 18-year power and also the integrity from a sporting activity also manic to pick up 60 seconds to examine whether the ideal gamer has been actually sent off. Gradac Park, on the borders from the historical centre, is actually the environment for the comically scandalous Joffrey Baratheon's wedding ceremony treat and also subsequential comeuppance, while the room from the abandoned Resort Belvedere is where Oberyn Martell goes through a horrible ending in period 4. The hit collection coming from Bethesda Softworks is actually ultimately obtaining the parlor game therapy. Nevertheless, activities are extremely prominent both culturally as well as economically - dismissing all of them is an overlooked possibility. Some of the greatest things I can't recognize is why Sony merely included a job from mind to the system which is actually mind activities cannot use. Hero was actually a manho, yet he was actually celibate for 6 months, I am actually presuming from their get-go conference, up until they determined to have points to sex and began being actually a couple. That is, simply puts, a 'appropriate' video game with possibly 100 hours of information as well as is actually a delight to participate in either at home or on the move. I understand this publication concerns an enchanting location, yet it definitely ended up being a wonderful encounter that I am actually certainly not going to forget anytime quickly. Allow's say a student likes criminal popular music and wants to generate an arithmetic parlor game around this. She can create a band and style the board along with various places, tour ceases, and so on Altogether The Hot Try (Game On # 4) by Kristen Callihan was actually an excellent addition to the Game On set, and also Finn Mannus an OUTSTANDING character that I won't fail to remember thus effortlessly. Some activities possess a kind of knifelike focus, yet Lost in Tranquility is very much the other kind-- a sort-of special clutter that somehow collaborates the much more you participate in, to the point you will not intend to place it down. Understood I have to pack a webpage for each and every video game instead of scrolling ... therefore going somewhere else for my listing. If you've yet to read Caraval, I hope I've taken care of to entice you;-RRB- This manual deserves ALL OF the buzz as well as I may certainly not hang around to view where Stephanie Garber has us next! With two video games delegated to play, Birmingham are actually 2 points clear of the relegation area as well as Blackburn Rovers, that lot Property on Sunday. And, regardless of the reduced settlement of 720p, on the much smaller monitor the activity was notably crisper. He does not-- that's where the community is available in Ongoing problems, headlines, as well as activity updates are actually curated by lots of supporters who cover gameplay as well as advancement on the World from Minecraft discussion forums, the Minepedia (a wiki-style source where very most visit find out how you can conform), on Reddit and on other informal niches. There was actually an opportunity when video games like rowing, swimming, looking and also wrestling were very popular games. Every activity I produce, I walk out and acquire a retail copy and play it. At the very least the very first few levels. This is clearly found in her excellent artwork for the 2008 National Manual Celebration, in which birds and creatures off a lot of states are actually embodied. Oh the writer readies, also proficient at receiving the visitor so entailed that also you ask just what's real and just what's simply component of the game. I possess a 7.1 klipsch unity III along with pair of sub12's off of an Onkyo TX-NR905 receiver. I perform a variant of these foods basically every week - I merely select 3 dry beans and also 2 surfaces and also whatever veggies reside in period and also adapt these recipes. Activity from Thrones commonly airs around April yearly, yet the brand new season 7 will not premiere until July 19, 2017. But the PS4 can display video games in at the very least 900p and most games in 1080p instead of your 720p underpowered wind-up port in the box. Since I was actually merely so eager to receive the round rolling, I remember clearly the 1st married couple times I've gone through the publication and skimmed by means of so several chapters. British superstar Jim Broadbent, known for playing Bridget's Jones's Father, Horace Slughorn in the Harry Potter flicks and also Denis Thatcher, is actually the initial brand-new star to be appointed in Video game from Thrones time 7. Sony disclosed Kill Strain at its own PlayStation Expertise event in Sin city in 2015, a free-to-play, prompt and also addictive" top-down multiplayer action game coming from its San Diego center. But disappointingly for the modding neighborhood, Rockstar opted to launch the PlayStation 2 version of the game before the PC version. Our experts are actually informed at the starting that The Very hot Chance as well as The Tactical plan played out all at once. THIS PUBLICATION WAS WHATEVER THAT JUST Is Actually A COMBO FROM FOOTBALL, lust and affection INNUENDOS ALL THE WAY! In short, then, a modicum of dream role-playing coiled a approachable as well as enjoyable memory card video game. The game tasked you along with wandering little isles, engaging with objects to resolve frequently dim challenges that will drive you more on in Myst's odd backstory (entailing magical publications that trap individuals within or affair them at other worlds). I am actually thus thankful to have actually seen this weblog in 2015 because I essentially possessed a Green Creature every hot summer months morning.
