Metal Gear Solid - A Hideo Kojima Thread - Flimsy Huey and the Phooey Fallacy - Games

[QUOTE=RikohZX;48762851](Spoilers obv) [sp]Given that Big Boss wears his eyepatch but the story doesn't really explain if the avatar's eye is functional as Venom or not, i'm not the only one that's bothered by the complete lack of accessories for the SP avatar like an eyepatch for either eye, am I?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]eyepatches over both eyes or bust[/sp]

Oh also. I feel like i should tell you all the story of the last 5 days of me playing Metal Gear because i discovered something, and its quickly become an epidemic on my Mother Base. Episode 5, Over The Fence, when you extract the Bionics Engineer, you get a randomized name and random stats for him with R & D always being the highest. Every time. Except if you replay the mission, you'll get a duplicate Bionics Engineer because of that. Same glasses. Same face. Same skill. My MB is now filled with dad soldiers, and its all Flaming Buffalo's fault. [sp]Half of them are A++ Ranked[/sp] Im serious, by the way, for the sake of experimentation, i used D-Walker and my best soldier to replay that mission as many times as i could as fast as i could, i have like a hundred of the mother fuckers and they're swarming me. Their moustaches are hurting my soul.

[QUOTE=LOL PWND;48761989]Do I need to complete all the subsistence and extreme missions to progress with the story ?[/QUOTE] You do not but I really recommend you make one of your missile launchers a tank buster

[QUOTE=helpiminabox;48762886]Take a picture of the 4 that salute you when you land.[/QUOTE] i'll try to next time i can. Im on PS3 so i'll need to do some shenanigans. [sp]Poor Laughing Wallaby, one girl surrounded by a million identical kikongo dads[/sp]

[QUOTE=pointyface;48762893]I thought it was suspicious that the [sp]eye was still there, just milky white like Kaz's. I'm pretty sure BB's eye is actually missing[/sp][/QUOTE] We've gone over this, no, its not.

[QUOTE=pointyface;48762893]I thought it was suspicious that the [sp]eye was still there, just milky white like Kaz's. I'm pretty sure BB's eye is actually missing[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]He lost functionality in the eye from muzzle flash and potentially the bullet skimming it, but technically it's intact. He just kept it closed until he gets the eyepatch, and then the series never shows us the eye again directly. MGSV seemingly tries to show it bare, but given the implications behind the whole thing and the fact that your Avatar can have both eyes functioning (complete with the same motion capture, whereas Ground Zeroes actually seemed to give Big Boss a lazy eye appropriately if you modelswap him or remove the patch), it's probably a fake cataract that is never brought up or something.[/sp] [sp]Which means the Ishmael face literally has to be a mask and fake eye contact or something for it to pull off the ruse.[/sp]

[QUOTE=RichyZ;48762923][sp]they likely forced the cataract on him via surgical or some other fucked up means[/sp][/QUOTE] Are we talking [sp]the medic here? Because before he goes into his coma in 1975 only one eye shuts, I think the shrapnel hit his optic nerve and blinded him anyway.[/sp]

Aw yisssss [img]https://i.gyazo.com/d0ca7ca1a1478638a9401076c0076cc5.png[/img] I'm at 87% now. The side ops grind begins

[QUOTE=RichyZ;48762973][sp]yeah the medic, either he has cataracts naturally or they forced it on him, bb has always had an eye but its just fucked up[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Oh in that case, like I said it was almost definitely the shrapnel that caused the cataract. The first person bits only use one eyelid both before and after the coma.[/sp]

[QUOTE=bastian-07;48761169][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDR04iWM1Lk&feature=youtu.be[/media] they seriously need to lessen the grace period when you spawn in, you don't even have to do the first strut of multi-strutted platforms[/QUOTE] the defenses on these platforms are all pretty light. you couldn't get away with that on my fob

[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;48762991][sp]Oh in that case, like I said it was almost definitely the shrapnel that caused the cataract. The first person bits only use one eyelid both before and after the coma.[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp].. which could explain why the Avatar's right eye is functional again, artificial eye like D-Dog potential aside, given that only one piece of the shrapnel shows on their head rather than the small chunks as well like on Snake's. Although the game's camera doesn't change to accommodate but oh well.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Altimor;48762764]You can get lots of S ranks in the field, I think it goes as high as 30%. It's tied to the sum of your unit levels.[/QUOTE]I've heard about leveling up staff as a reliable way of getting S+ and S++, but I took an S+ combat soldier out and did a couple infiltrations and missions, and it didn't change much. I'm 200 hours in with only 2 S+ guys in my combat unit, and had to take a gamble on one of the main deployment missions to complete it. Is it even reasonable to get 10 S++ guys?

We can't exactly consider playing as it canon.[/sp]

I was assured by my friend that FOBs did not take anything from your maingame, just from your security staff. Gone online, and now I'm out of half of my materials. Fucking spectacular. Even if I farmed some of that stuff, it's still a shit move that I am now further away from finishing my base than I ever was before. Is there any way to get more materials per base development update, or do I just have to farm and wait it out?
