Metal Gear Megathread V - Kojima's been wanting out since MGS2 - Games

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;53196781]put teleporters on mortar spawns, they are no longer an issue[/QUOTE] Alternatively if you have one of those auto Machine Gun Turrets you can just plot it down right on the edge of the spawn and it'll murder the mortar before he hits the ground.

RNG blessed me. I was looking for Medium survival bags so I could just farm for a day and play for a week, and the one game I got into before maint got me an S rank, the medium survival bag, medium throwing bag, and my first throwing efficiency top. I am now this guy [img]https://i.imgur.com/gD5I5HV.jpg[/img]

Survive just got a new update. Apparently it's adding a new co-op mode that'll be up after maintenance finishes.

The objective of Rescue Missions is to evacuate Charon Corps survivors who have gone missing after failing a Salvage Mission. Make use of the terrain as well as your Interceptor and Defense units to secure a safe escape route, while thwarting hoards of enemies. Rescue Mission Event: "The Captive Ferrymen." Play the event to earn standard CO-OP rewards (e.g., Kuban energy, resources, recipes), as well as Battle Points (BP) which will unlock other rewards as you accumulate more BP. Other content updates: Added controller customization features Speeding up the digging of the Wormhole Digger will be reflected on personal score Added new plan to Base Camp Dig Added enhancement items for weapons and gears (Legendary) Bug fixes and game balance changes *Please refer to the patch notes in game for further detail on the update. *The deployment schedule may differ by region and/or platform.[/quote]

Fuck me they literally just patched infinite C4.

i wish the drill missions was as hectic as the new one

They patched the recipes for making soup with canteens. No longer can we turn one meat into two soups. A sad day in Metal Gear history.

What are the new rescue missions like? I'm at work right now, so I can't try them out.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;53198721]They patched the recipes for making soup with canteens. No longer can we turn one meat into two soups. A sad day in Metal Gear history.[/QUOTE] A sad day indeed. Now how am I supposed to enjoy watery soup? On this topic though whats up with some of these recipes for certain items like Gerbil soup? One of those recipes requires the meat, 5 onions, and 8 milk for the same sprint buff you get from a soup and only ~900 thirst and ~500 food. You get so much more just eating everything raw. Do they have some really high survival bonus to them for sending out with your exploration teams?

What's the point of antidotes? I've yet to encounter anything that inflicts non-food poisoning and none of my crew have ever had regular poisoning either.

[QUOTE=Trainbike;53198815]What's the point of antidotes? I've yet to encounter anything that inflicts non-food poisoning and none of my crew have ever had regular poisoning either.[/QUOTE] Your crew can get poisoned during exploration missions.

Alright, so I've finished MG, MG2, MGS and MGS2 over the past couple of days. Was really nice to finally experience the MSX games and replaying those two classics. Couldn't remember anything about MGS2 except it being a total mindfuck in the end. On to MGS3!

So I'm guessing no hd remaster ports on modern consoles then.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;53199186]So I'm guessing no hd remaster ports on modern consoles then.[/QUOTE] Seems like it. Irony people like me who stuck with Sony end up not being able to play the older games while Microsoft gets 'em. I think there's a few games that still got remasters on backwards compatability. I think a PC/PS4 port will happen eventually. Look at DMC, Megaman, Okami, SOTC, etc. Burnout Paradise is getting a proper re-release on the Xbox One and PS4, and that was also on Backwards Compat.

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;53198988]Your crew can get poisoned during exploration missions.[/QUOTE] + the spider enemies' attacks actually have a chance of poisoning you. only happened to me once but it took me completely off guard, killed me in like a minute. you're fucked if that happens and you get knocked out of the iDroid screen.

[QUOTE=Cone;53199233]+ the spider enemies' attacks actually have a chance of poisoning you. only happened to me once but it took me completely off guard, killed me in like a minute. you're fucked if that happens and you get knocked out of the iDroid screen.[/QUOTE] I've never had them actually land an attack on me so I guess that's why I've never seen it. They either take forever to attack, allowing me to kill entire swarms without any resistance, or if they [I]do[/I] attack any lunge that seems like it should connect just slides harmlessly off.

Those spider enemies genuinely make me uncomfortable. I don't like their skinny legs and how quickly they move.

Grabbers are worse imo. With their icky tentacle thingies that are always moving and shit.

Christ this new game mode is fucking brutal. Especially when you fucking D/C just before somehow managing to scrape through to an A rank despite two of the rescues completely losing all of their energy stores.

Oh come on, i had to run all the way past Ruin's 3 to pick someone up from a distress signal and as soon as i warped back to FOB, the servers go down. [b]Why the fuck does this game need to be online?[/b]

[b]Why the fuck does this game need to be online?[/b][/QUOTE] It has to be online because Konami are like 7 years behind when it comes to scummy practices. They're not less terrible, they're just slower than the rest.

[QUOTE=Toybasher;53199166][media]https://twitter.com/Konami/status/973615550935875584[/media][/QUOTE] Wait, ONLY Peace Walker? Not the whole HD collection? ...Huh.

[QUOTE=WhyNott;53196478]iirc, thats probably the other marc laidlaw, not the half-life writer super bunnyhop talked about this in his last critical closeup, he was a translator in mgs 4 or somthing[/QUOTE] is this the same laidlaw that translated policenauts?

I kinda hate that they threw boss fights into the co-op missions. It's a really lazy way to add difficulty, and you're basically fucked unless you have a level 69 on your team. They could've just made the enemies stronger or something.

[QUOTE=The Terminator;53199619]Wait, ONLY Peace Walker? Not the whole HD collection? ...Huh.[/QUOTE] It's the reverse of the Vita situation, where you can play MGS2 and 3 in HD but if you want Peace Walker you have to play the shitty PSP version.

[QUOTE=The Terminator;53199619]Wait, ONLY Peace Walker? Not the whole HD collection? ...Huh.[/QUOTE] i wonder if they did some xbox one x stuff for this peace walker in 4k :vs:

[QUOTE=The Terminator;53199619]Wait, ONLY Peace Walker? Not the whole HD collection? ...Huh.[/QUOTE] There are rumors that Bluepoint Games, the guys who did the Shadow of the Colossus remake, might be working on remaking the other Metal Gear games.

[QUOTE=jimbobjoe1234;53199679]There are rumors that Bluepoint Games, the guys who did the Shadow of the Colossus remake, might be working on remaking the other Metal Gear games.[/QUOTE] Wasn't that proven false.
