I have played and finished Death Stranding before. I think this is like my 3rd play-through.
I think the gameplay, the building infrastructure to make faster deliveries is addictive to me.
I think the story is hogwash.
And yet...
When Sam says:
"His name is Lou."
...
...
And then afterwards the game's interface changes!
It doesn't say "BB" anymore...
It just says "Lou"
...
...
