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

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

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

rainslacker1606d ago

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

isarai1606d ago

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

I have made $13594 last month by working online from my home. I am a full time college student and by just doing this in my free time for few hours per week by using my laptop, I payed off my student loans. Check this out and start making cash online in so incredibly simply way by just following instructions on this website...

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

Born2Game831606d ago

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

Muzikguy1606d ago

You're giving us 36 year olds a bad name

PowerOfTheCloud1606d ago (Edited 1606d ago )

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

/s

Lord_Sloth1606d ago

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

BlackTar1871606d ago (Edited 1606d ago )

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

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

Silly gameAr1605d ago

Calm done with the over dramatics, dude.

SyntheticForm1605d ago

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

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

Are you this melodramatic about everything?

S2Killinit1605d ago (Edited 1605d ago )

Ok what? You sound a bit unhinged.

TheSaint1605d ago

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

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

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

rainslacker1605d ago

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

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

SyntheticForm1605d ago

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

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

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

babadivad1605d ago

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

Knushwood Butt1606d ago

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

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

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

UltraNova1606d ago

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

The option to delete players vehicles cant come soon enough.

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

rdgneoz31606d ago

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

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

UltraNova1606d ago

@rdgneoz3

Yep you are right 😉

rainslacker1606d ago

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

UltraNova1606d ago

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

rainslacker1605d ago

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

SyntheticForm1605d ago

The mule truck is awful.

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

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

FyBy1606d ago

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

sprinterboy1606d ago

Fantastic idea that, I like how you think.

froy4021606d ago

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

Hardiman1606d ago (Edited 1606d ago )

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

rainslacker1606d ago

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

Aggesan1606d ago

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

Steam’s Refund Policy Change Won’t Affect You Unless You’re A Lowlife

Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii5h ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo5h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows905h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

qalpha5h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno5h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan5h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno4h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19815h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

banger881d 22h ago

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

jjb19811d 8h ago

Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.

thorstein1d 7h ago

I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
