Death Stranding 2 (Anyone else not getting Porter Likes?)
I love the Death Stranding Games. I've fully platinumed the first game twice. Death Stranding 1 was obviously a fight to get likes, but getting plenty porter likes wasn't hard by any means. It was always rewarding returning after a couple hours to get the pop up of "1000 Likes", "8000 Likes".
But this is not at all my experience in Death Stranding 2. I've rebuilt roads on almost half the map. Built structures where they make sense. Bridges, generators, Shelters. Place supportive signs etc. After a Week of playing, i have 0 Likes on my road work. Literally 0. The other contributors have several thousand likes. Replayes DS1 2 months ago, had like 40k likes on roads alone after only a couple days. By the end i was around 100k likes. My zip lines, bridges, trucks and bikes etc were all getting regular likes. In DS1 i have one bridge with 1k likes. A couple structures with 100-200 likes. Followed by a bunch with 0 Likes. Almost all the Porter likes i get is for finishing someone elses delivery. Other than that, i'm not getting likes.
Does anyone else have this problem? Not to sound like a 40 year old Facebook mom. But this game is built on this social element. And it seems to favor some players over other. Jack_Cack_Bobster82 gets 10k likes on a bridge on the most flat terrain in the game. I place brudges over canions and rivers, 0 likes. Just makes the effort after like 50 hours feel wasted. No reward. Is this because i didn't buy delux, and all the likes automaticly go to those with early access? Or is it a bug? Poor ballancing?
I'd love to hear from other Porters. See some getting 32k likes over night. I wake up to just 32.
