"phphphphphphpht"? this is what you're going with?

you sure?

That is correct. And while having soldiers with skills can certainly help with certain R&D projects, sometimes the skills that they have are actually bad ones. Those with the troublemaker skill can put your other soldiers into sickbay through violence, giving them PTSD, or just plain making them sick. This can even lead to them killing your other soldiers if you don't fire them.
My friend found a guy with multiple A+ ratings, only to find that he was actually dogshit when he arrived at Mother Base. Apparently there's a 'Boastful' skill that inflates all their ratings when you scan them.

This loving game. Gonna buy the poo poo out of it during the next sale...

I'm surprised gun-ho Liam ran away like a coward instead of gunning down the Skulls. I ended up using the honeybee, though I was assuming regular guns don't work (Which they do, and I was sad.)

I used Honey Bee on most of them, then ran out, tried to jack a jeep and peace out like a coward and ran over the last one by accident. So that works too. :v:

"Boastful" can work the opposite way, too, so it's a weird word choice for that skill.

Setting the o/u for when the crew discovers the 'customize' menu and gets that goddamn heli upgrade equipped at the end of episode #10. Going to be optimistic and go for the under myself, but at least two of my friends are opting for the over.

He's not gung-ho, he's gun-jump. He gun-jumped past the fight straight to his own escape.

I loving love Liam speed MGSV, it's great fun and really helps the LP, even if they can end up wandering around not knowing poo poo because he skipped the entire base where the hostage was. But it was fiiiine.

It's going to be whenever the third recording picks up and they look it up online. To be honest, I'm surprised that Pat hasn't just looked it up on his phone while Liam rides around on D-Horse.

So not really a problem if you micro-manage your soldiers well enough to keep them from being stupid. I thought so.

You don't even have to micro-manage, your idroid will give you a corner popup that says "fighting has broken out among staff" which, if you don't do anything about, will keep popping up again later but this time with consequences. When you get that popup all you have to do is go into your mother base management and fire all your troublemakers because 99% of the time they aren't worth the hassle anyway.

In my head, with this type of game, 'Looking at Mother Base regularly' is micro managing. It's obviously not to the same degree as Peace Walker but still.

Why wouldn't he play with auto-aim when he is using a controller? Controllers are terrible for accurate aiming.

There's a reason almost every shooter on consoles has an auto-aim function.

There's nothing special about me.
on the one hand, it's infuriating that they're overlooking/misunderstanding basic poo poo, and since this is the first new game they've been playing that I've been playing also, it's doubly infuriating.
on the other hand, seeing them bionic punch three of their dudes while going "THAT'S THE BEST" just gives me the biggest smile :allears:

I just don't get the mentality of playing a game and seeing a mechanic and instead of going "I wonder what this does" you go "This is what this does" and assume something completely incorrect with zero back-up

Not only did he kill the prisoner who was supposed to give him info last episode and then spent 20 minutes running around aimlessly, he's still somehow missing the big fat Helicopter button in the customization menu. I wonder how long it'll take to notice it.

Apparently they're playing Ultimax tonight. Incoming salt.

Eh, to be fair that Customization option is pretty counter-intuitive, isn't it only accessible in the chopper? It took me a bit to find it too, especially considering everything else can be upgraded on the field/base thru the iDroid anyway.

No, he's talking about the big fat 'helicopter' button in the sortie prep screen you see before every mission. It is weird that the helicopter doesn't just re-equip itself like normal upgraded equipment does though.

That button doesn't exist. In the prep screen, you get Equipment, Buddy, Vehicle, and Character, none of which change the helicopter. I honestly had to stop playing and just focus on the menus to figure out how to do it, and I totally get they don't want to grind the momentum to a halt.

I'm now convinced The Patriots run the world and that I might be a clone.
