I'm not saying Kojima wanted Sutherland from the get-go but give him more cred than '98. TPP really feels like the game that close to 30 years of Metal Gear games have building up to. I love the episode credits; they include the tanks and the level designers.

At one point you're going to fight the man on fire (this is no spoiler shut up) and when you try to fulton him and succeed, he goes up and Ocelot goes "He burned the ropes, thank god"

It actually does nothing, don't waste your time. The best part about the water pistol is you can upgrade it twice, and even across all three levels, it does absolutely nothing but slightly annoy people.

So wait, it's only the PC version of MGS5 that supports custom music? Like I couldn't do it in the Xbox One version?

It's pretty useless, but you can use it to shoot out soldiers' radios. It's also silent, with infinite ammo, can be used to hold up enemies, and is just a step above the banana in terms of pure-strain MGS silliness. Within a month there will be someone posting videos of Water Pistol runs through most of the missions, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some functionality to it that hasn't been discovered yet.

Only the PS4 can't. Apparently it had something to do with Sony trying to push a custom music streaming service that failed, but it was recent enough to affect a bunch of game's contracts

That's what the loving delivery platforms on each base are, too? ARGHHHHHHH I'm gonna kill myself for just going "jeeze I guess Kojima still values immersion and patience over convenience on some stuff" instead of just looking this up this whole time.

The game does a terrible job of explaining that and doesn't point them out until you activate one, weirdly.

When you go search for missing guys from the first Mother Base, if you roll up in a cardboard box, they won't fight you. They just go "Boss... Is that really you?", stand and salute, then Fulton themselves into the sky. Because of course they know that the only one insane enough to enter a combat situation in a cardboard box is Big Boss.

I borrowed The Order: 1886 a.k.a Gears of Yore from my buddy and while everything about it held up (too short, cutscenes are long and boring, very pretty, etc), there was one little thing about it that I liked: the various comments you and your allies will make during a firefight. "Company man down!" "Guard down!" "Shotgun specialist neutralized!" It's a nice little bit of "immersion" that I appreciated. also the thermite cannon is fun to use because you can light coughing dudes on fire and that owns

It's the Swiss Army knife of Snake's tool set. For a related anecdote, I was doing a mission last night that involved extracted a prisoner from a locked room. I had my dog wait at the top of some nearby stairs, got myself into position behind a small partition between me, two guards and the cell. Had my dog bark, which drew away the guards, then ran in extracted the prisoner. Once I was done I saw that the two guards were coming back and I was going to be cornered in this side room. My mind raced through my options (it was a Total Stealth mission, which meant that if I tried something flashy and failed I would have to start over(or to a checkpoint, but come on)) and popped on a box at the last second. The guards came around the corner, noticed that the cell door was open, and went to investigate while I was pulling my "Nothing to see here, just a box" routine right in front of them. Once both guards had walked into the cell I made a hasty retreat back the way I came. Earned myself an S Rank for putting my faith in the box.

Calorie Mate one of many Japanese products designed to keep your body from shutting down from deprivation without taking any time away from your quest to die of overwork at your desk. Flavor is not a primary consideration.

On quite a few animal bios Ocelot gives to you, he specifically tells you to not eat them. I guess he knew all about Snake Eater.

I think a lot of Hemingway's work would be uncomfortably accepted at best on Mother Base, what with it's violence towards animals, guilt about pregnancy/parenthood, and general depictions of how war and battle is always a terrible idea for everyone. The last thing Kaz wants is people second guessing the Diamond Dog's mission statement of Revenge.

Sniper Party posted:My computer is really old (i5 2500K, 460 GTX) and MGSV runs like a dream. It's the most incredibly optimised game I have ever played. Mine is an old HP laptop that my company was going to throw away because the power supply was bad. I replaced it and now I use it to look at internet "stuff" and play starcraft 2 on. It struggles with Starcraft so I'm guessing MGSV won't work.
