FORUMS NO.1 SLEEPY DAWGS MEMESTER
MGSV trolled me pretty good with the online. I was idly playing the post-game, dicking around in side missions and stuff when I decided to build a nuke. It took me days to get the resources to build one, and then there is an entire 1 real-life week timer to actually build one.

There are two achievements for nukes. One is for building one, and the other for launching one. My nuke finished while I was at work, and then someone infiltrated my FOB and stole it before I got home so I only got one achievement. Honestly this situation was so odd to me I wasnt even upset, but that was also the last time I played MGSV lol.

My favourite thing about MGS V was all those Reddit groups dedicated to disarming all the nukes because they were paranoid that there was a secret ending to the game that would trigger upon doing it

This is a bigger problem than you're making it out to be. Many of the later-game development projects require more money than the smaller offline-reserved stock can actually hold. Or at least, most of the money it can hold, meaning researching one item will completely exhaust your cash.
it's best to ignore most of those developments, they were added a while after launch to encourage people to buy resources with real money and buy FOB insurance. Scummy Konami poo poo that definitely drags the game down, but can be ignored. Pity there's some fun stuff locked behind it.

They pulled the code out after a bug (a simple integer overflow) triggered the cutscene early.

Astral Chain is basically just Platinum making an Evangelion game, only instead of piloting a giant robot you're commanding a leashed cyborg monster.

They absolutely know what they've done, because the first unlockable color scheme when you get the ability to customize your cyborg monster is a straight-up exact match for Unit-01.

This post and your avatar remind me that Warframe is basically the same thing: troubled teens piloting horrifying cybernetic meat abominations, only the abominations are smaller, and are sometimes cowboys, clowns, Martian mummified pharaohs, or dapper gentlemen in fleshy tuxedos. And they all ride hoverboards and play guitar.

It's some piece of fanfiction spun from a single book entry from the first game IIRC. Because every single thing written down in-universe can't just be straight up wrong or from an untrustworthy source.

Personally I'm more into the giant owls seen in 2 and DotO.

On top of this since it's a futuristic scifi world the traffic lights are augmented with holograms across the intersection. A red barrier when it's not safe and a green highlight across the street (combined with stop barriers for traffic) when it is.

It's sharp and something I could easily see being done in real life if we get the tech.
