Not totally

you kidnap fulton soldiers out of the field (your binoculars scan enemies and show their stats- E-S++, in multiple fields), and they just kinda...join because hey you're big boss. Some will have to sit in the brig to be convinced for a while but they all join inevitably.

You can manually place or auto-place soldiers into your Support (determines fulton success rates, supply drop success rates, what they can drop, the ability to lay down artillery/smoke support ,etc), Intel (auto-marks general area guards are in on your map, tells you incoming weather, alerts you to vehicles/etc coming into the area, etc), R&D (item development), Combat (dudes you send on away missions that give lots of resources/money/recruits), Medical (helping your guys recover from injury/ptsd/etc, other stuff), base development (automatic resource aquirement).

Some soldiers will have special skills, like being a "gunsmith" for a specific type of weapon which opens up different upgrades and makes them cheaper if you put them in the R&D team. Or stuff like "Vehicle Specialist" which can let you learn how to fulton out vehicles. Stuff like that.

It can also be negative; namely "Troublemakers" who put your other members in the medbay because they like to fight, harass, or get everyone sick by being disgusting goons

You increase your staff limits by building extra platforms. As the game progresses what your individual groups can do gets better and better.

trying to figure out how much of kojima's bullshit i'm willing to put up with in deciding whther to buy this game

angry_keebler posted:

it's never really spelled out clearly

the boss probably knew during operation snake eater, and snake found out from eva who was told by volgin(?) that ocelot's mom had a snake shaped scar, so if nobody else knew snake could have given his buddy the "i knew your mom" speech

evidently ocelot found out sometime in the 6 years between snake eater and the san hieronymo incident, since ocelot was the one that came up with the plan for fox to kill the boss but at the end of portable ops he kills the dci and steals the legacy for zero apparently as revenge for getting conned into setting up the plan to kill his mom

e: then again portable ops also makes it seem like it could have the dci that developed the plan to kill the boss, but by peace walker hot coldman takes credit for operation snake eater so who knows

so basiclaly nobody knows because kojima cna't keep a story straight if his life depneding on it

angry_keebler posted:

well the problem is all the ocelot's motivation reveals come in portable ops. that something happened in san hieronymo is canon but it wasn't written by kojima so its not clear whether all the deviously clever strategist stuff is official

kojima seems to like the game but in peace walker kaz is all, that stuff that happened in san hieronymo was horseshit, let's never mention it again

it feels like this is all a consequence of kojima trying to reconcile big boss as the villain taken down by snake with the big boss that's a noble warrior of nobleness

thanks for the heads up. i'm seeing news outlets acting positively toward the game, but I'm not sure how of much of it is "this is a good game" versus destiny Stockholm syndrome.

it was weird. NPR had a guty from forbes on to talk about the expansion coming out and that was it, it was basically just a press release.

i sent them a bitter tweet. that will show them.

im child soldier bigbossstomper58. i first started reading lord of the flies when i was about 10. by 12 i got really obsessed with the concept of "the conflicting human impulses toward civilization and toward the will to power" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "sucks to your rear end-mar" and "kill the pig. cut her throat. spill her blood" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "allegorical" style of dystopian fiction was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" lord of the flies to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

remember that light level determines the level of items that come out of engrams. so don't blow through all your engrams at once. just do a couple at a time and always always wear the highest level gear you possibly can at all times. don't worry about whether it's legendary or rare. if the main stat is higher, put it on.

also with your first 75 legendary marks buy the ghost shell from your class leader in the tower.

okay, serious question here.

i'm only now playing the borderlands games and i think they are very good. in particular i'm impressed that everybody just sort of fucks whomever they want and it's not treated as anything unique in the game and also that i don't remember any sort of self-masturbatory press releases or marketing about that.

were there self-masturbatory press releases for borderlands about how all sorts of characters unremarkably gay or bi or whatever?

because if there's anything that screams boardroom tokenism

anthony birch was one of the writers in borderlands 2. he, in order

- pressured his wife into an open relationship
- proceeded to fail miserably at finding anyone willing to gently caress him, unlike said wife
- eventually turned prison gay out of desperation (to no avail)
- was divorced by said wife, who had found someone better

the relationships of the characters in borderlands 2 are essentially anthony burch's attempts to gently caress vicariously through npcs

video games

everything has a dark side i guess

good for the person who divorced him and found someone better.
