Metal Gear Solid - A Hideo Kojima Thread - More black lines than a CIA file - Games

In case you're like me and you really don't want to bother with the FOB or are worried about losing personnel to it, you can very easily disable the online features with Windows Firewall. Open up the configuration menu via the control panel and add an inbound rule and point it to the game's EXE. Then set it to block. There should already be an outbound rule or two defined for it automatically. Edit those and set them to block as well. Next time you start the game, it skips all the service announcements, instantly loads into offline, and no FOB stuff. No Daily Rewards either though. If you get a pop-up before the game starts about having to activate the game: De-activate the rules by right clicking them, start the game, then re-activate them.

[QUOTE=Sweater;48651293]So how do you rate the game? Is it 10/10 or exaggerated? There's lots of stuff to do so can't give a final review/score and sort of avoiding the thread.[/QUOTE] I'm not too far in but so far I'd give it a solid 8-9, mechanically great and fun with a couple of flaws here and there, story is lacking so far with very weird decisions like Big Boss never talking which really makes it hard to see his descent, etc.

[QUOTE=Sweater;48651293]So how do you rate the game? Is it 10/10 or exaggerated? There's lots of stuff to do so can't give a final review/score and sort of avoiding the thread.[/QUOTE] 4/5. It's an excellent game, the plot just has poor structure near the end.

[QUOTE=coverop;48651246]But... this glitch shows how [url=http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/208090/]Loadout[/url] should look like. :v: [editline]10th September 2015[/editline] Is that one cutscene [Sp]where quiet attacks a soldier on motherbase[/sp] is mandatory? Did I do something wrong or It had to be shown to me?[/QUOTE] That cutscene is there for a reason. Keep playing. Considering I put 83 hours into it so far for $60, and it's one of the very few games I can play more than 2-3 hours in a row (I went up to 8 one day I think) I'd say that's worth a 10/10 from me.

Anyone else hear a cat meowing in the African Airport?

I don't know if this has been brought up or not, but holy shit the Metal Gear subreddit is going nuts over supposedly additional content being announced September 11th. Like, really losing their fucking minds. [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/3kbjuq/spoilerish_somethings_coming_on_911/[/url]

I personally have to put 2 ratings for this game, 5/5 for gameplay and 3/5 for story. That gives us 4/5 but the gameplay is everything I wanted and more while the story has a lot of empty spaces. If I give it just one rating I feel like I'm not pointing out how much fun I actually have.

We're getting extra content?

Does anyone else have noticed a problem with the physical map that is given in the day one edition ? [sp] The map has a scale that goes 0 -> 500mm -> 1 Km :v:[/sp]

[QUOTE=Paranoia10;48651349]Anyone else hear a cat meowing in the African Airport?[/QUOTE] It's a bird. More specificly a Trumpertor Hornbill. I searched 30 minutes with night vision googles for the "cat" only to find out that "cat" was a bird sitting on the power lines confusing me with it's meowing.

On September 11th? I don't think we should be taking it so seriously.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;48651367]We're getting extra content?[/QUOTE] Shit if this is true, Konami/Kojima are quicker on releasing DLC after a games release than NeatherRelm Studios.

Sandstorms work both ways, they're hella dangerous. [video=youtube;nm4fJyIWrGs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm4fJyIWrGs[/video]

I found DD late in the game after mission 33 or so I got excited and flew back to Mother Base and[sp]I ended up having to watch 3 Eli cutscenes My reaction at the end:[/sp] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNsG1IJDY6Y[/media]

[QUOTE=archangel125;48649405]Take your time to complete lots of side-ops, then establish an FOB after mission 21. Make sure you get the best int-scope upgrade you can, build as many buildings on your base as you can, and then make sure, when you build your FOB, that you only build one of each of these platforms: Intel, R&D, Support, Combat. Don't try to build a Base Development platform or extras of each of the above, because your materials will be stored there and easy to steal.[/QUOTE] FOB BD only stores materials it mines / you have stolen from others upgrading it makes it refine and mine faster (all refined materials go to your MB) there's no reason you shouldn't upgrade fob BD platform

Protips: Reload from checkpoint to rerandomize everyone's proficiencies Release right click immediately after firing to negate all recoil

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;48650870]do extraction missions at night, always and forever[/QUOTE] The fucked up thing is that I was, but I ended up wifh the extraction bit near the moment it hits 6 oclock.

I have a question about combat unit staff. If I play as them, do their skills go up indefinitely? I've noticed that after mission completion the game said that the stats increased significantly but at some point it just stopped, I later then defended someone's FOB as that soldier and got some sort of a unique medal that none of the other soldeirs had despite having sent them on countless dispatch missions before. Do the stats only grow until they reach some ceiling or am I just being impatient?

[QUOTE=Craigewan;48651479]Sounds like such a huge pile of wishful thinking that it hurts.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be so sure, but I'm afraid to believe it. Are you unfamiliar with the depth and complexity of Kojima's ruses? Just look up what he did to tease the announcement of mgsv. This crap seems exactly the sort of thing he'd do. But we only need wait two more days to find out.

How do you figure out what the other 1/7 missions are on main missions?

[QUOTE=archangel125;48651562]Dude, after reading all that I'll be super disappointed on the 11th of September when absolutely nothing happens.[/QUOTE] Imagine browsing trough some old posts and you find this post dated to 2001.

Did mission 41, there are no important side ops, I've done a bunch of other side ops and a few of the EXTREEEEEEEME missions, but nothing pops up how the fuck do i progress from here

[url]https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/3kbjuq/spoilerish_somethings_coming_on_911/[/url][/QUOTE] I can't imagine Konami actually releasing an update at 4:20 on 9/11.

[QUOTE=General;48651645]How do you figure out what the other 1/7 missions are on main missions?[/QUOTE] From what I heard once you do the ones you can read the next one reveals itself.

Lol I've already gotten the ability to attack people's FOBs despite them having nukes, apparently. I haven't even beaten the game yet. Actually I havent even attacked an FOB yet.

Ok, what's with the colour changing jeeps at motherbase?
