"Death Stranding", the first game after the well-known producer Hideo Kojima established his studio, has been on the market. I believe many players must have played the game. But what if you are very interested in this game, but don’t really like mountain climbing delivery games, or maybe you have played to the end but still can’t understand the meaning of the plot? So let’s take a look at the plot flow of “Death Stranding” that the author has compiled for you. If you don’t want to be shocked yet, don’t read on.
In the background of "Death Stranding", the United States (only the United States from beginning to end) has very advanced civilization and technology, and has already realized unmanned vehicles, robot delivery, etc. A baby girl named Bridget was born. Bridget often had nightmares while growing up, and learned about her mission as an extinct body (the key to triggering the end of the world). The existence of beaches.
However, not long after she grew up, Bridget had cancer and had her first surgery at the age of 20, and was divided into two parts. The Ha (body) Bridget will stay in the world and will follow her As she ages, Ka (soul) remains in the underworld. In order to explain this situation, Bridget later named Ka Amelie, which represents the lie (lie) of the French soul (Ame). Originally, Bridget would not age due to the separation of souls, but due to frequent conversations with Amelie, their spiritual consciousness became one, so Bridget began to grow older due to age.
Bridget also knew that only Sam could stop her.
After that, in order to resist her mission as an extinct body, Bridget cooperated with Ameri, using her powerful ability on the underworld to predict the future, and established the organization "Buqiao" that later connects everyone in the game. Bridges", which later became "UCA, United City of America" after the explosion. Bridget hopes to use Mingtan to discover the past five mass extinctions caused by extinct bodies on the earth (the same happened with the dinosaurs), and to use the unique technology "Kairol Network" developed by Mingtan to use all the past memories of the earth. (Chiral Network) "Save a lot of simulation time to find a solution, but time is not grateful at all. Perhaps the relationship between Bridget and Amelie touching the underworld, the realm of the dead, happened for the first time in Manhattan, USA" Necrosis.
So Bridget accelerated her research, and "BB (Bridge Baby)" was also born at this time. However, something unexpected happened here, that is, the Bridge Baby Project was actually looking for real babies, and the father of one of the babies, Cliff, was working with his former comrade-in-arms and now Bridget. After talking to John, her love friend, she learned that her child was used for time. With the help of John, she tried to escape, but was discovered by the guards on the way and forced to a dead end. Finally, she was shot dead by Bridget. The Buqiao baby was accidentally shot, which made John very remorseful and guilty.
The president's mood has changed dramatically.
After Buqiaoying died, he came to Mingtan like everyone else. After seeing it, Ameri resurrected Buqiaoying in violation of the laws of Mingtan/universe, maybe out of guilt or intolerance. At this time, we Knowing that the baby's name is Sam, Bridget finally decided to raise Sam as his mother. At the same time, due to the act of resurrecting Sam, the "Death Stranding" was triggered. Many false reports occurred across the United States, causing the world of the dead to overlap with the human world, and stranded bodies that preyed on the living appeared (BT, Beached Thing) and the "Time Fall" (Time Fall) that speeds up all time, human beings are separated in many places and are afraid to go out. Even Sam became a "Beached Thing" who will return to the world from the underworld after death because of Ameri's actions. "Returners", and DOOMs that can sense the existence of BT and use more powerful abilities, are also beginning to be born with newborns.
Later, in addition to speeding up his research, Sam not only met with Bridget when he was growing up, but also often went to the Underworld to meet Amélie, who was like his own sister. But during this period, Bridget suddenly became weaker due to cancer, which made Amelia wonder whether the universe or the underworld punished her Ha because she wanted to resist fate, making her a little depressed. , and it was also at this time that she made an agreement with the young Sam to go to Mingtan to find her in the future, hoping that he would stop her.
Then Sam naturally joined UCA when he grew up, assisted in delivery, became a famous legendary deliveryman, married a wife and had children. However, things did not go so smoothly. In an accident, Sam's pregnant wife died suddenly. He was not discovered in time and triggered a virtual explosion, which reduced most of the city where Sam lived to the ground. And because Sam has DOOMs and is a returner, many residents began to suspect that he deliberately hid his wife's body, which caused the false explosion, and even hated Bridges because of it. In the end, Sam thought he was responsible and left alone. Keep in touch with everyone and deliver the goods alone.
Returners can come back even after death and will not become BT.
During this period when Sam did not contact Bridges, which was three years before the start of the game, Bridget's research made progress. But because of Sam's disappearance, Bridget assigned Amélie to dress up as her daughter, set up the First Expedition, and lead them to connect the Keror Network to the entire United States. But at this time, as Bridget suffered from cancer, Amelia was actually struggling in her heart, wondering if this could really prevent the mass extinction? Should we simply speed up the rate of extinction? And just during this period, he met Higgs, who was working with Fragile, and had other plans.
Zegers was not originally a terrorist or a madman, he just cooperated with Fei Ruojie, hoping to create an organization similar to UCA, and use her to fulfill his wish; Zegers himself also admired Fei Ruojie's DOOMs ability, because his own DOOMs can only sense that BT is nearby. However, due to the distorted education of Ziggs since childhood, after he saw the source of all DOOMs, Ameli (the extinct body) in the first expedition team that was expanding the network, he instantly changed the object of his worship and was deeply attracted by Amei. Attracted by profit, he believes that this is the future of human beings reconnecting.
Therefore, the struggling Ameri met the crazy Ziggs, and Ameri chose to hasten his demise. Acting with Ziggs made UCA think that he was abducted by Ziggs, and even gave him more powerful DOOMs. Ability to act as a madman leader and trigger false explosions everywhere in the United States, cutting off all previously completed networks. Fei Ruojie was also unable to resist because Ziggs' ability was too powerful. Due to Siggers' trick, Fei Ruojie accidentally transported the nuclear bomb to a certain city and detonated it. In addition to aging due to time and exposure to the sun, she also gained a reputation for collaborating with terrorists, which made her very angry.
Along with Cliff, he is the most tragic character in the show.
But what I didn't expect was that at this moment, Sam came to Bridget's city during a delivery, and the contact that had been broken for many years was reconnected again. Through Bridget's attending doctor/BB maintainer in the city, Deadman, who is also an android, and Vice President Die-Hardman, who was once a delivery team member, he learned that his mother was... After the big bang, he became the current UCA president and asked to meet Sam. At this time, Bridget had her last breath due to cancer. She knew what Amelie was thinking and needed Sam to go to the Underworld to find her (also referring to Amelie) while reconnecting to the Internet. Died of cancer.
A sentence that runs throughout the play.
Next is the journey that the game really begins. After claiming the place where he was imprisoned through the far end of the projection with Amélie, Sam is about to embark on a journey from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States. At the same time, Sam also obtained the Buqiao Infant numbered BB-28, and found that every time he connected, he would see some pictures, and there was a strange man in the picture. At first, the dead man told Sam that he might be the researcher who had seen BB-28 in the past, so he didn't need to pay too much attention to it. But as Sam's consciousness synchronized to multiple battlefields several times, he fought with the strange man, and after snatching the BB, Sam took away the dog tag the strange man wore around his neck, and found that his name was Cliff, but Sam had no idea who he was at this point.
As the adventure progresses, Sam realizes that Heartman jumps to a stop every 21 minutes and goes to the Underworld for 3 minutes to find his dead wife and daughter who have been resurrected; , whose real name is Malingen) and sisters Lucni; Fei Ruojie, who has the ability to teleport through the underworld. With their help, Sam finally made it to the city where Amélie was imprisoned. During the fight with Ziggs, Amelie saw the hope of Sam coming to rescue him, and took back Ziggs' power, allowing him to return to an ordinary human without abilities. In the end, Ziggs was handed over to the one who had been betrayed by him. Fei Ruojie dealt with it (the result was that Ziggs stayed in Mingtan, Fei Ruojie let him live).
After all, she has endured the end of the earth for many years, so it is understandable that she will collapse.
During the conversation with Amelie, Sam also learned that Amelie and Bridget were actually the same person, and even complained about why Sam came so late (it was agreed upon when they were children). In the end, Ameri asked Sam if he was willing to witness the last moment of the destruction of the earth with him, and gave Sam a special gun used by Nugget to fight against BT, and said to Sam, "The gun can't help you here, but It still has its uses (this sentence is a hint later)."
Bad Ending: If the player chooses to ignore Amélie and let her go, it will be the end of the world. Good ending: If the player finally puts away his gun and rushes to hug Amélie, the good ending will be triggered.
After hugging Amelie, Sam said that he remembered his original agreement, that he would always be with Amelie, just like Bridget and Amelie took care of him. Amelia was very touched by this, because she had predicted such a result at that time. She was very scared and confused, not knowing which future would come true, and did many wrong things. So she decided to let humans decide their fate, and would not speed things up just because the mass extinction was already coming. Perhaps tenacious humans would one day find a solution.
Ameri chose to stay to delay extinction.
Amelia then explained her decision for many years to Sam (beginning at the beginning). After that, Sam was originally unable to leave the Underworld and was found by the Naughty People. Later, the naughty people here also explained that after Sam went to find Amelia, Amelia sealed his own Hades Beach. Due to the different levels, he could not find the location through Feiruojie. During this month, he tried various methods (inside and outside). The speed of time is different), but fortunately they thought of the BT special gun in Sam's hand and the umbilical cord that Bridget gave to the deceased before her death, which became the key. This reminded Sam again of what Amelie said, "A gun can't help you here, but it still has its use." It turned out that Amelie had already anticipated the development of the whole thing.
Then through the dead man's explanation, we learned that the stubborn man who became the president after the incident was actually John who was suspected of killing Cliff. He had known for a long time that Sam was Cliff's kid, and for the first time he confessed to crying and blaming himself for his past, but without fully explaining it, Sam also handed Naughty the BT gun and left. Naughty said to Sam "Thank you" (it stands to reason that he didn't commit suicide).
The deceased still thinks he was the one who killed him.
After all the adventures were over, BB-28, which had a short lifespan, was no longer useful, so the deceased asked Sam to take BB to the crematorium and burn it. Sam, who had feelings along the way, also named BB-28 Xiaolu, and connected with her for the last time, seeing the beginning and end of everything. It turns out that Cliff in the picture is not BB-28's memory, but Sam's own. At the end, Cliff had a conversation with Sam for the first time through the connection to the underworld. Cliff knew that Sam was his son, and It was Amelia who brought him back when he appeared. Perhaps he wanted to make up for what he had done in the past, and he personally put the dog tag on Sam's neck.
If you rewatch the whole thing twice, you will understand how everyone felt at the time.
At the end, Sam took Xiaolu out of the container, bet on the extremely low survival rate, rescued Xiaolu, and named his child "Louise" after he was too late to be born. And then Sam stood in the rain of time holding Xiaolu, but he did not grow old because of it, which may mean that the world has begun to change.
Does the last rain mean things have changed?
