God, I love the section after you pull out all of the AI boards in the Mammal pod. Peace Walker still trying to stand up, and you have to shoot at her but you don't even get a damage bar so you have no loving clue if you're even doing anything. Snakes really frustrated and probably emotionally traumatized by having to kill the Boss again, except this time slowly and painfully listening to Peace Walker cry out in pain as you go. It's so unsettling but it just utterly draws you in emotionally.

EDIT: Also if you're going to keep calling The Boss "Soldier Mom", you might as well call Peace Walker "Robot Mom"

To get to the goofy poo poo you have to do all the various side op chains until you reach the ones that unlock poo poo. A lot of them are at the end of said chain and/or require clearing post-Peace Walker missions. Some require post-final credits. And some of them require S-ranks. I'm more than willing to assist in getting the S-ranks for vehicles and generally clearing poo poo out to get to the cool things faster because there's like 40+ vehicle missions you still have to do and they eventually get to soldier counts higher than you can carry fultons, and yet you have to capture all of them and kill no one to get your S-rank.

EDIT: To reiterate my point about soldier counts, I believe the highest amount of fultons you can carry is 40? Even if you play with Grace, your combined fulton totals aren't enough.

There might be more substance, I'm a little hesitant considering we lost a poo poo TON of viewers since people apparently weren't into it. I'd still like to finish it, I'll just likely do all the samey bullshit offscreen like I did with VR Missions.

5 will be a bit more cohesive than Peace Walker has been, the balance I tried to strike between planning out the LP and staying blind didn't work like I wanted it to. It's mostly been an LP of me going "I'm going to do X. Can I do X? poo poo, I can't do X" repeatedly off screen.

Also 5 will mark our return to the drinking game

4's going to be last just because it provides much needed closure to the Metal Gear timeline, also I like 4 and it's ending :colbert:

Drinking conditions for 5 will be:

-1 drink on reflex mode
-1 drink whenever Miller says "you're going to extract HIM?"
-1 drink on "Vocal Cord Parasites"
-1 shot on death as usual
-1 shot whenever bond decreases with D-Dog because I clearly did something to deserve it

It just occurred to me this morning, Huey said the Mammal Pod could only be opened by a nuclear detonation, which while seeming like a nice stupid Catch-22 situation, they had a functional Tsar Bomba-class nuke right there in Peace Walker's head. It's not ideal, but couldn't they have just given PW an order to detonate her head? I mean sure, a nuke will have been detonated in Nica but at least it'll have been on a base operated by The Company :v:

On the one hand, we could be helping clear these missions and it'd be your win since you're Big Boss and we're the faceless MSF soldiers. On the other hand, it'd become "Dan and Grace watch two people throw smoke grenades and fire rockets forever" for like 5 episodes and "Dan steals better gear from his teammates" for the rest.

RE: Kojima

I will say exactly one thing defending Konami in their decision and one thing only: if they cut ties with Kojima because his games were not turning a profit or were simply to expensive to make (time/money-wise), then fine. I get it, business is business. Kojima is an auteur and probably not the easiest person to work with. We are talking about a man who needed realistic ice cube physics for one completely missable part of MGS2.

That said,

Konami is easily the worst publisher on the entire planet. They botched their release schedules so hard, that it speaks volumes about their games and their fans that they turn a profit. Their work environment is reportedly all the fun of an office job and all the stress of a minimum wage job AND of a video game dev. I've heard a rumor that apparently they have cameras in the bathroom to ensure bathroom breaks are kept to a minimum.
The company has a hard-locked pecking order and people constantly throw each other under the bus to impress the management. The management are too busy sitting in ivory towers and making impossible demands to understand how anything works.
And they probably have Video Game Company Profit Envy Syndrome. VGCPES is what Ubisoft and EA are all about, their games are popular and sell, but that's not good enough! Forget making a profit, they need to make ALL the profits. Every game has to sell Halo 2 numbers. Anything else is failure. Konami subscribes to this philosophy hard.

And the slap in the face which was EROTIC VIOLENCE and HIT THE LEVER speak for themselves.
The worst part is that I'm certain Konami don't understand how willfully malicious those made them seem. They are so far in the clouds, they have no idea what those trailers meant for the fans, let alone why people would be furious with them.

gently caress Konami.

We might end up bringing in more people for later missions, but if we do, it'll be on the condition that we only use equipment unlocked in the LP so far. The last thing I want is to just have someone else come in and breeze through the game for us.

For real, some of the stories coming out of Konami are terrifying. There's a point where it just straight up seems like they have a vendetta specifically against him, like legally binding him to NOT attending any awards shows for MGSV :shepface: It's baffling.

I really want to see how he'll do under a company that was desperate to get him under their banner, we're going to see some CRAZY poo poo.

I think the head of Konami didn't like Kojima because his games were really expensive, even though they were almost guaranteed profit. It probably goes back to that idea of NOT ENOUGH PROFIT.

Okay, this is sort of an odd question out of nowhere, but do you two watch the series "Crazy ex-girlfriend"? From what I can tell about you, it would be right up your alley. It's a funny, sometimes a little sappy, or depressing show which focuses on extreme diversity. The later episodes feature the nicest and cutest representation of male bisexuality I have ever seen on TV.

It's one of the fastest ways to raise several troops' stats at once, since the fastest way is to play as them on dangerous missions but it'd be done one at a time. Secondly, you get prizes such as blueprints, better combat armor, and the best lethal pistol in the game from doing the super dangerous outer ops.
