So who's up for some Tax Shelter raiding -- I mean, treasure hunting? Have a nice little trip to Panama or the Bahamas and -- well gosh, look at all of this money that's in an undisclosed vault in the middle of nowhere protected by heavily armed private military types. No one would mind if we play finders keeper with money that sort of doesn't exist on the books, right?

We always seem to hit poo poo that's on the transportation hubs or the arteries of Murky Water or Gensec, never important poo poo like the heart. I don't care if they bullshit up reasons as to why we don't completely break the company, like there are several corporations that make up the PMC or company in question, but I want to hit something really big with lot of poo poo to loot and bastards to shoot. Like several billion dollars big. You can even break it into another Murky/Gensec HQ raid by giving us the means to steal the rest of the billions.

And then it turns out you get no money because you just robbed the Payday crew's offshore account. Oops.

Or a sliding scale payout where infamy 0 gets rich and infamy 25 gets nothing

The possibilities are endless.

That was a really neat part of MGS V that Konami bungled and nobody will ever use again.

I should hope not, paying real money to insure fake money is really stupid. Invading other people's games is definitely something that other devs will/have use, though.

What's the real money part in mgs? I have it but only played like twice.

The idea of infiltrating other players base is a cool idea and I'm sure we've all thought that would work with pd2 vault invasion somehow.

When you get farther into the game you construct little bases that other players can infiltrate and steal resources from, while you do the same to theirs. There's a way to insure your virtual resources by paying real-world money, which is quite possibly the laziest way to go after whale money ever conceived.

The base invasion part is pretty fun and actually feels more like classic MGS, until you encounter the people who have layouts set up in such a way that it's impossible to infiltrate without raising the alarm, which is cheap.

It's much worse when you realize that the game is utterly trivial to hack due to no sanity checking from the server at all. I had a huge amount of fun with base invasions and counter-invasions until I hit a certain level where literally everyone was cheating, and it was not subtle. I'm talking about responding to a call, finding my guys in alert mode (where everyone's on guard, but not in combat), and then suddenly having all 80-odd soldiers on my team fall over in a stun. Or having a defending player respond to an alert I raised, fly directly to me, eat 50 bullets from my machine gun, and then punch me once and inflict a stun on me.

It really bummed me out because I legitimately had like 15 hours of great back and forths with people and a huge blast, but it ended in the biggest wet fart.

Which makes Konami trying to sell people insurance for their virtual goods even better, imo. But yeah I didn't play long enough to actually encounter hackers first-hand, although I did raid a few FOBs that had a truly impossible amount of resources for how close to release it was.
