I have 414 S rank - Legend of Legends deliveries but with 599 in total there's still a ways to go (I've done plenty more than 414 but they are S rank - Awesome (meaning not premium delivery) but they don't count toward the same total, and I don't want to redo them). If you do everything before the Edge Knot City section it's just story and more story (once you get there), which has been nice. Game is moving at a fast clip with all orders pretty much done.

Greatoneshere Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I also beat the game last night - 145 hours logged ultimately (91% trophies so far, played on "hard" difficulty). There's definitely way too many standard orders for one to do that pads out the story portions (same issue Peace Walker and MGS5 had) but otherwise this was a wonderful game. Now doing delivery cleanup (ones I haven't done at all - some only unlock post-game and unlock even more "interviews" that help wrap up some characters' stories!) and debating whether I want to do the memory chips.

Greatoneshere Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Finally finished all the standard orders, obtained all the memory chips, and unlocked all the hot springs - eventually I tapped out at 95% trophies. Could have done the last few trophies, but after 160 hours logged, I'm good. Got 452 out of 499 standard orders at S rank - Legend of Legends, and was happy with that - did not want to re-do the 47 standard orders where I got A rank (I think there were a few B ranks as well). You don't even get a trophy for obtaining all S ranks, so even less motivation to re-do those last 47 standard orders. Great game, just simply too much padding with standard orders was all. Now finishing up Lost Odyssey and Shenmue III (one retro game and one current game! Near the end of both). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Was not expecting this: Quote There's no real-time ray tracing in Death Stranding, sadly, but it does have support for NVIDIA's DLSS 2.0, a new AI upscaling tech that lets you play in high resolutions with higher frame rates—and it actually works. While my frame rate was fine in-game, I was getting a few dips in cutscenes, many of which involve lingering close-ups of impossibly detailed character models, and all kinds of fancy post-processing effects. But with DLSS, set to the 'quality' preset, everything was smoothed out—and with no perceptible loss of visual fidelity. I'm not gonna pretend I know exactly how deep learning super sampling works, but this video by NVIDIA does a decent job of explaining the basics. It's impressive stuff, but you will need a GPU from the RTX range to take advantage of it in Death Stranding and other supported games. https://www.pcgamer.com/death-stranding-on-pc-is-a-great-version-of-a-very-weird-game/ Neat, we’re getting a raw example of how DLSS 2.0 compares to PS4 checkerboarding. Digital Foundry is going to wild with this! Excited to see some crazy supersampling too. Bodes well for the Horizon port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Early impressions of Hideo Kojima's first post-Metal Gear game (PC Gamer) Quote The long-awaited PC version of Death Stranding is finally being released on July 14. Written, directed, and produced by Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima, it's his first game since leaving Konami, and it's every bit as wild, weird, and wonderful as you'd expect. We'll have a proper review shortly before it launches, but until then, here are some early impressions based on a few hours with a (very complete-feeling) preview build of the game. Death Stranding With DLSS 2.0 Allows for 4K and 60 FPS on Any RTX GPU (Tom's Hardware) Quote Moving on to performance, DLSS as usual makes less of a difference on the fastest RTX GPUs, particularly at lower resolutions. The RTX 2080 Ti basically performed the same at 1080p with or without DLSS (DLSS was 2% faster), hitting an apparent CPU limit of around 160-165 fps. At 1440p, DLSS quality mode provided a more noticeably 23% boost in framerates (156 fps vs. 127 fps), while at 4K it delivered a 34% improvement (105 fps vs. 78 fps). We didn't test the RTX 2080 Ti in DLSS performance mode, as Death Stranding isn't the sort of game that really needs much more than 60 fps, and at 4K it's already well above that mark. The RTX 2060 is the bottom of the RTX line, and it benefited more from DLSS at lower resolutions. DLSS quality mode improved performance at 1080p from 103 fps to 128 fps, a 25% increase. 1440p went from 75 fps to 100 fps (33% faster), and 4K improved from 43 to 56 fps (31%). It looks like DLSS quality mode can boost performance by 30-35% overall, provided you're fully GPU limited. What about DLSS performance mode? That was enough to take even the RTX 2060 above 60 fps (77 fps to be precise) at 4K. Obviously there's a lot less rendering work going on, since DLSS performance mode renders at half the vertical and horizontal resolution (so 4K DLSS performance is 1080p with DLSS upscaling). Still, unless you're pixel peeping it's difficult to see the difference between the various upscaling modes at 4K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Why this month’s PC port of Death Stranding is the definitive version (Ars Technica) Quote I'm five days into testing the game's preview version ahead of its July 14 launch on Steam. Now that its preview embargo has lifted, I'm here to report incredibly good news. This port is the definitive way to play Death Stranding, and it scales incredibly well in terms of getting PC gamers to that crucial 60-frames-per-second performance threshold while offering PC-grade customization options.
