I watch so many lore breakdown channels across all mediums (movies, games, comics, creepypasta etc) and I can say without a doubt that your style of storytelling is both incredibly unique and some of the best I've watched. Keep doing you! I hope big things follow.
if there's a game I'm not quite understanding the lore/story of I always come here first to see if she's done it first as her explanations always make things make sense to me; like that one teacher in a subject you just never seemed to understand UNTIL you had the class with them - some people are just better at explaining things to others in different ways and I just adore that about this channel
I have actually watched many a 'story explained' or 'understanding the lore of' video specifically on this game as it's always fascinated me, but try as I might I've just never been able to get into playing the game myself so while I understood the basics and jest of it all I knew there was way more to it all; now once again Lady of Lore comes through and I finally really truly get the story/world & yes Lore of Death Stranding; super excited to see you get to 100 k subscribers and beyond!
I like ya
Mads Mikkelsen really acted his heart out as Clifford.
Clifford Unger was so cool, wasn’t he? I loved all of the boss battles and all of his dialogue.
“We need reinforcements!”
“I want my BB back!”
He was the real hero of the story
Higgs calls himself "The God Particle" because his name refers to the Higgs Boson, the fundamental particle associated with the Higgs Field, a field that gives mass to other fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks. The Higgs Field is what makes the existance of matter and it's interactions possible. Without it there'd be no atomic elements, no stars, no life in the universe.
When you consider that (both in a literary and metaphorical sense) every element of the story coalesces the way it does because of his actions, the name seems more than apt.
Crazy how Kojima managed to tell a story that starts making MORE sense once you start drawing parallels to quantum mechanics and particle physics.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the fact that Higgs was asking Sam to deliver him pizza multiple times during the story.
I remember delivering a wine bottle too.
Had to run on the road all the way. Good news is that there was a speed skeleton to make us go sonic fast.
Lou deflecting the bullets was such a girlboss moment, danm girl
BB had enough of his bullshit.
@@TiptoeTheTank No. *Lou* had enough of his bullshit.
The Lockne and Malingen plotline is so underrated
Thanks for this! This was probably the best telling of the Death Stranding story I've come across. Really easy to follow and full of charisma
I’m recovering in the hospital after my surgery, and I’ve been listening to your lore stories every damn night. I was itching for DS part 3 and you delivered!! Appreciate it Lady Lore!!! ❤
We're happy that you enjoy them and they've kept you entertained. Hope for a speedy recovery
Hey, get well soon! I'm glad the videos gave you some distraction.
I absolutely HATED Deadman until the shower scene. Never have I gone between murder to love so fast. An inverse betrayal.
But more surprising was how fond I became Diehardman. His life was hellish even before forced into an impossible situation that resulted in the death of his friend, captain, and constant savior. I was so happy when he got closure.
Mamas forever.
I also love that your outro is just a collection of Louise.
The BB Boogie is heckin' adorable
Finally! I will learn all the secrets from this game that I'm definitely to lazy to discover myself.
Cheers, Tip! 🎉
30:51 I like that Sam doesn’t do anything to catch Heartman, but he does flip the hourglass. It really helps reinforce how bad his Haphephobia is. He doesn’t have the reflex to catch him
I just finished watching all the parts of this series, and I've never played this game before; maybe I'm already overly emotional, but I have to be honest when I say I started crying at the end of this video.
Maybe it's convoluted and crazy, but this is such a beautiful, emotional and moving story and you just narrated it so well that I was in literal tears by the end.
It brought me to tears as well. I often don't watch gaming videos because I'm afraid it will spoil the game for me and make me not want to play it but this oy made me feel a NEED to experience all of this amazing story firsthand. So with these tears I confirm my next purchase! Haha
1:13:31
I have never cried so much at a video game cut scene than this whole delivery order.
your Death Stranding videos should be taught in classes all over the world.... Magnificent
I have to say, the way you explained this was really well done, starting with all of the exposition that was laid out through the game, telling it at the beginning and then telling the events that the player experiences really puts everything together in a cohesive and digestible format. Thank you for putting everything together chronologically for us!
I've seen so many recaps and analyses and I'm sorry but Death Stranding is the most beautiful game ever made.
I can agree. I think RDR2 has some wonderful landscapes and detail. I love wandering Night City in Cyberpunk 2077. I can think of other examples of beautiful games, but Death Stranding really captures something in the experience no other game ever has for me.
I'm rewatching this and something about Malingen and Lochne is getting to me. My sister and I have shaped each other, and if she died I know a piece of me would go with her. I'm happy that there doesn't have to be an "apart" so great as death sometimes, even if it's just in fiction.
But actually now that I think about it, throughout the entire game siblings are connected in greater ways than any other humans. The twins, Sam and America, maybe Fragile and Higgs even? They are either able to wander easily to each others' beaches or share one beach entirely. It makes me wonder a lot about Kojima's story reasoning for that, especially considering Heartman's whole thing, but idk, maybe it doesn't mean anything.
I'm not crying at work. You're crying at work.
Mama and BB made me ugly cry. I'll admit it. I ain't ashamed.
I know u cant see it but im giving u a standing ovation. The story of death stranding is a masterpiece and u did a spectacular job of walking us through it and narrating it. Not much more i can say other than thank you
We're happy you enjoyed the series. And no worries, I saw the standing ovation
A finale for the finale of the year. Nice.
Ah i adore your style of storytelling
This is perfect. Stopped playing the game after 5 hours of very boring gameplay, but the story always intrigued me. So happy to be subscribed to this channel
I am so glad I found these videos. This has been such an enthralling listen (and watch), the storytelling/delivery is top notch. While Kojima wrote a wild story with ridiculous lore, this video really makes it work on a much greater level (especially with the criticisms of Higgs, etc.). I may often think of Kojima as a writer who gets too heady ideas for his own good (unable to really land the concept and losing focus on the interesting) but this video at least demonstrates some things that had gotten lost in his previous games: the need for compelling characters having compelling moments, especially the story of Mama...wow, that hit hard. Thanks for bringing this to life in such a wondrous way.
Mama's story made me weep.
This is like a New Years Gift. Thanks!
I was waiting for this! My body is ready
Phenomenal video series! Congratulations on such a well put together sequence of lore. Thank you
“I don’t think this game has editors” 💀💀💀
my favorite part of watching your breakdowns is when you get genuinely upity about something while continuing to maintain a stable tone and without breaking the flow of the conversation. 46:53 is an excillent example of this
Your video's are the reason I got back into and finish Death Stranding. Thank you for the high quality content Tip. Looking forward to next year.
I'm jealous of all of you that get to play this for the first time. Odd to say it on a lore breakdown; but I don't know where else to say it. Great Work.
Taking Lou at the end was one of the saddest events I have ever gone thru in a video game. But the end was one of the most elating things I’ve ever experienced. Kojima made a hot mess. But you can’t say it didn’t make you feel anything.
Supremely satisfying. Baby Louise remains the best little BB ever
I immediately suspected that the memories weren't from Lou when we get a new memory scene the moment Sam gets the bb back because Deadman said BB's memory's been scrubbed from that point, that means that's someone else's memory, Sam's memory
I've recently learned that A24 will be creating a live action version of Death Stranding and I am honestly SO happy that more people that wouldn't normally touch video games are going to experience this universe. The Last Of Us proves it can be done well. I can't wait
I always thought the five figures in the sky were Sam’s friends searching for him
Another completed tale. Well done
Thank you for all your hard work, I'm going through a particularly rough time right now but your videos always bring me joy and normalcy ❤❤
Fuck yeah, we'll all stayed anchored AF together. Stay stronk!!!
@@TiptoeTheTank can you to the lore about the first prey game it is different from the other game called prey because this prey game came out in 2006 so can you please do the first prey game
I’ve been so excited for this, thank you 😁
This it the best, well-written retelling of the Death Stranding story. You captured everyone's stories perfectly well and with heart that it brought me to tears several times. You have a magic Lady Tip, and it is such a wonder to experience.
My wife had a miscarriage about 7 months ago, as a person who can say that a piece of me died that day. This game and its characters hit home in ways i cant really describe. Honestly thank you, to everyone involved in any way, thank you for making and posting these. It may be just a game but to someone who has seen more death than i honestly would like this helps in a way. Makes me at least pretend that maybe ill see our little sprout….
Totally didn't cry near the end.
Yesssss, I finished the second part recently, came in a good time!
Thank you SO much for making this story approachable to my brain! You're available for whatever mischief Kojima and Jordan Peele are going to put together, right? Your lore ppl certainly will need you again!
Yay more of this soothing voice.
This is so beautiful, thank you for making this awesome vid for DS
Thank you so much for telling such a clear tale of a game i never hoped of playing or understanding.
Absolute masterpiece of a retelling!
Ive just mamaged to reach a point in my life where i can fall in love with this game, and your telling of the story is incredible and helpful
Im moved by the entire cast, all of these bonds made in hardship is truly wonderful.
And i just call the twins Mamaloch
I was patiently waiting for this video! Played thru this game twice and love it more each time, but thankful for this trilogy of lore!
Anyone just watch Death stranding 2 trailer? I just watch more than 3 hours of this awesome recap.. Finish the sametime the game finish downloading. Time to start my own journey.Thank you!!
I'm HYPED !! death stranding 2 looks phenomenal
Cozy was really looking forward to this, thank you so much for putting it together!
I cried like a beach when Clifford has his conclusion and passes away 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks to you I understand the game better now
been binging your content lately, great work! I would LOVE to hear you talk about Returnal!
Wow, great vid. Brought a tear to my eye.
This is masterfully done. I watched the entire movie version of this in GLP. I got the gist of the story but needed something to supplement that in order to better understand the story. Those jargons in the game makes my head dizzy sometimes. This three part series really did the job for me. Thank you!
I get it.... and yet I don't.
Me too.
Me too...
I just binged all three parts, and oh my God was that amazing! I can't believe I never tried this game when it came out
Well we got a sequel coming next year
great series as always!
Always a pleasure with one of these videos
What an absolute great series!
These are so great; thank you 🙏
Incredible! Found your channel after finishing control... now I have practically your entire library downloaded for a 30h bus trip. Loving every second, keep up the great work you have been doing ❤
Right after i finshed the second video
Awesome, thanks !
47:18 that doesn’t she’s an EE, that just means she’s a boss!
You freaking rock!!!
Bridgette was never his mother. Bottom line, despite what she says, she only viewed Sam as a tool. A means to an end. And she’d do anything to manipulate him to get what she wants. So when they pull the whole “think of your mother Saaaam” he’d be WAY more than justified to tell em to fuck off. And how he’s just, cool with everyone after the ending after ALL they’ve done? Tbh I want DS2 to be about taking down Bridges, and starting something better.
Not having played the game, I was excited to see these videos. I won't go so far as to say I really understand Death Stranding, but it makes much more sense now.
I really sat here and watched all 3 videos back to back to back
One of the best channels on UA-cam
youre such an amazing storyteller
Wow, what a ride and what a touching end. :)
amazing video
13:00 "They just run for it..." Maybe in YOUR playthrough. I killed it dead.
Don't judge us!!
Please do the Lore of Dark Souls ! Given you've already done Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, it would be good extensive lore with fresh soulsborne content !
Feesing the Tip of the algo
Yo, you described this game wonderfully! I'm supposed to be building a raised bed.... 🤭
If Lou is dead in DS2 then that game doesnt exist to me.
i wish there was a larger button than thumbs up...
47:34 😂😂😂👠👠 ⛱️
800th like RAAAAAAAAW!!!!!!!
The narrative and style is top notch. But no "additional lore" was provided other than the "in your face" stuff all players will experience in a single let's play. The biggest secret of the game is obtaining the full set of "Lucy's Interviews" (near impossible, and requires playing past the ending), what they imply, the implications to the story narrative, and who BB-28 *really* is. There are two main mysteries delivered to the player, with two grand reveals associated with them. But then there is a tiny reveal at the very end - "Lou, Louise" (BB-28 is not a "she" until that very moment, bit of a whopsie, but that's a minor complaint), and now it's up to the player to find the mystery belonging to that reveal. That's also when you realize you've been tricked by the deliberate cinematography. I mean, the game tells you directly in a 4th wall breaking moment that nobody recognizes: "...To connect the dots, you need time. You need perspective..."
If up for it, check out Tommie Earl Jenkins video where he reads out Lucy's Interview in full, only takes about 1.5 hours:
JOY TO THE WORD - The Death Stranding Edition Ep. 9 "LUCY"
Check out how the first repatriation scene "plays out" from Sams' point of view. What exactly is happening with BB-28? This, for me at least, is confirmed further (as if all the clues in DS1 wasn't enough once you're equipped to notice them) by a tiny detail appearing in the DS2 announcement preview video. How does the last cutscene start, and how could this be if Sam was made a repatriate *after* this point? Why does Cliff have a C-section, an obsession with dolls, being a man who was always able to save the squad and "couldn't get myself killed anymore" with memories of 3 wars? What's the feedback loop (ref "early" explanation) about? Why can Sam suddenly "see" BTs without BB-28 after Mountain Knot? Sam is not the only repatriate with DOOMS yet he's only "special" (early in the game), but truly "unique" (late in the game) - why? If not clear already, think blood *lines* rather than just blood.
Are *WE* sure Sam was the only survivor of the blast (Manhattan voidout)? Ref the big secrecy surrounding BB-28. Why is BB-28 broken (ref Igor and Deadman), a massive secret, showing massive development (for its presumed age, which conflicts with how many users it has served), and shows up unscathed every time Sam dies or causes a voidout (eaten by BT)? Watch DS2 trailer and look for details.
No, 3-5 times isn't gonna cut it to see everything. I'm at 40+ and still picking up minor hints. I mean, it took decades and many games in order to properly decipher the timeline of MGS, I'd expect nothing less from Death Stranding.
I don't know how repatriation takes place if killed after BB-28 is removed in Mountain Knot part, but if you die before obtaining it - such as jumping off a cliff in the beginning - you repatriate via Doll tech. All other times you repatriate via BB tech. Being Kafkaesque in its delivery, I'm pretty sure I'm missing some things, or they are open to other interpretations. But I definitely feel I'm on the right idea. I'll be amazed out of my chair if DS2 (and beyond) proves me wrong.
Man this game has a good story but damn that gameplay is just URGH
I'm right there with you. I've loved this series, it is an interesting world but there is no chance I'd ever get through that "game".
I quite enjoyed my time with it but it's definitely not for everyone. It's almost like a new game genre.
@@Viryl_TV Fair and true. I'd be lying if I said there was no appeal and that I didn't consider trying it but it is safe to say I'd never finish. All the more reason I appreciate this telling of the story. There are some great emotional elements in it.
Keep on keeping on
I was addicted to the gameplay 😅 I would play for just a little bit and BOOM 5 hours went by lol
never liked troy baker and his "performance" in this game is exactly why
I really wish the names in this game weren't done by a six year old lol
That's Kojima for ya 😂
This has been the best break down if death stranding I've watched, you presented the information really well you made it easy to understand and it was thorough without being boring
I haven't been so excited for a video in forever - love this!!
Phenomenal. Easily one of the best games I've ever played and even though I didn't have all of the lore straight in my head by the end of it, I knew I had experienced something pretty amazing. Thank you for doing all the legwork to put it all together. I could probably not have gotten it all without a half-dozen playthroughs and intense note taking.
