Small note: Francoise Englert was actually Belgian, and the name Englert itself is German in its origin, and not French as stated in the video.

As I get older I realize just how terribly cruel the punishment Fragile experienced really is. I can't imagine the psychological dissonance Fragile would experience due to her body being transformed into such a state. I think it's actually one of the most effective stories of body horror around and that Cronenburg would be very impressed.

Higgs is such a cool and interesting villain. I love the crazy lore in this game. Kojima never fails to create weird and fascinating characters.

Troy Baker really gives everything when he’s playing a character because Higgs is honestly one of my favorite characters in this game and that’s partly due to the amazing performance that Troy gave all through out plus his character design is fucking badass

[RyoCanCan]

Higgs is actually a really compelling villain in the world of Death Stranding. I love how every character is written in it.

There's actually a bit of Japanese folklore in Higg's methods as well: In Shinto there is the Onmyoji, a person who was able to control the spirits of people by various means. One of best ways was by the use of gold. And in order to control those spirits they often had to do some pretty heinous stuff

[heartlessangel]

I thought that Higg’s DOOM powers came from the Amelie doll. It’s the connection he has to her beach.

Everything about Higgs was buckwild in an already insane story. I love it!

[robertonome]

in all honesty, Higgs is likely the most mysterious character still... while everybody else got their backstory chapter, he didn't; only a few dialogues from amelie and fragile at best. Have high hopes for him to get his true spotlight in DS 2, especially cuz he's fucking troy baker. Some people say he's "a cliche" villain and/or "underdeveloped", but, after the ending, it becomes pretty clear to me that this was just some sort of prologue arc to his character, to give him actual motivation to get his revenge against amelie (who straight up used and discarded him like a peon just to get to sam) and possibly sam/bridges too

Thank you so much. This game has so much lore to it that it's really hard to piece together sometimes. Your video makes everything make so much sense.

Seriously one of the most out of the world stories I have ever seen and one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played. You'd think just at first glance delivering packages is boring but... There's something about it that sucks you in and makes you keep saying "just 1 more delivery.

[megansslore]

I love this channel. I watch videos for games I've never even played because they're so well done and enjoyable 🙌🏻

[sourpatchque]

I can't get over how Higgs was slapping her butt😂😂

[TheBrandonnnn]

I love the portrayal of Higgs as being really miserable and pathetic. Troy/Kojima do a really good job at conveying this. He just wants to be loved.

[ryangonzales]

Forgot how much I loved the story of this game! Only thing holding me back is the gameplay

[john]

if we get another death stranding i do hope dooms abit more developed with our own ability to see BT's depending on our birthdate as i'd love to try to see BT's without a BB if my birthdate allows it and we also get another interresting story to play through as a delivery guy still as i love that aspect of gameplay as i am tired of just go through this kill people and find said item or destroy said item or kill/capture enemy to get intel from them and i do love we're forced not to kill anyone but it could be frustating but it's a breathe of fresh air

[joshuasmyth]

Higgs is like that one whiney kid on the minecraft server that got free admin powers and bans people randomly for fun.

[wckd]

Absolutely love this video and game. Im currently 50hrs in on my second playthrough in chapter 9 been enjoying it alot more with the online part and Ziplineing over snowy mountains and flying on highways it's an amazing experience

[seedofbayne.]

Honestly, this is my favorite game I've ever played, and I'll never forget it.
