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

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;53135756]Hey it worked for Devil May Cry. That was a hypothetical though I'm not actually going to buy anymore HD rereleases I was just expressing my desire for MGR2. I'm sorry you didn't think this through[/QUOTE] Ok at this point I'm convinced you're either trolling or back pedaling into pretending you were and I don't think anything else needs to be said about why your Survive posts were ridiculous Has anyone that's downloaded the PC beta played it yet? Is it online or are we just preloading

Played some of the Survive beta with a-cookie. It's honestly "Alright". It's not amazing but it's not horrible. Definitely more fun with other players. I noticed it's definitely a game where you have to think and plan a bit where you're setting up defenses, what weapons to bring, etc. and it's not a game where you're mind drones out. Setting up defenses and traps reminds me of Evil Genius. I am looking foward to the SP storyline. Waiting for reviews. Without a doubt I will say the interface for inventory, menus, crafting, equipping, customizing, etc. is horrible. DEFINITELY one of the #1 things I hope they can change later down the line, right now it's confusing as hell.

God why did Konami feel the need the change the default controls from TPP. The UI is complete shit as well. Although the beta is sorta fun so far but I dunno if the full game will be worth $40, maybe it'll be worth when it goes on sale assuming it's still alive by then.

There's already places to get it legit for at least 20% off. That's my plan, was just waiting to play first

man, once you start getting into the rhythm of things survive is really fun. also [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399421161240395787/413939097871056898/unknown.png[/img] [t]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399421161240395787/413952799152537600/2018-02-15_23-00-23.jpg[/t]

Is that macho man? Also someone said controls are different- which ones? Feels the same to me

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;53135943]Is that macho man? Also someone said controls are different- which ones? Feels the same to me[/QUOTE] just some notes i've been taking on controls sprint remains toggled on even after a dive or climbing over obstacles. dive now requires you to press spacebar twice instead of once. you stand immediately after a dive, similar to ground zeroes. there's no first person view for guns, only over-the-shoulder.

Tap shift while aiming. Also works on the turrets.

Man I really couldn't get into this, and I went into this game with an open mind. Instead the lobby was the most fun part for me and my friends :v:

How the hell do you get an S rank on the daily mission? Me and some randos were speeding up the drill pretty much every chance we could get and still only finished with an A rank.

Wish I woulda known you didn't have to actually get through all waves without then destroying the extractor to win. Just wasted so much revive pills tryna do it first try [editline]16th February 2018[/editline] Games way more difficult than I was expecting

the way they've changed throwing items is fucking me up, it's burned my ass too many times.

You can headshot them with high caliber weapons like AA guns but otherwise AIM FOR THE LEGS. I died so many times blowing all my ammo on their giant head. Even armored zombies wearing riot suits seem less durable than a bombers head. EDIT: You can also abort the mission to end it without letting the drill get destroyed, as you lose some points if you let it break.

You can also punch bombers to stun them, then run behind them and stab them in the back so they don't blow up.

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;53136033]You can also punch bombers to stun them, then run behind them and stab them in the back so they don't blow up.[/QUOTE] or you can wield the mighty sledgehammer, get the sprint impact skill, and kill them with your mighty sledgehammer. [editline]16th February 2018[/editline] played a little over 5 hours, upgraded all my gear to 5 stars, got to level 24.

[quote]BETA Bonus Items You will get the following rewards for the full game if you take part of the METAL GEAR SURVIVE BETA. 1. Nameplate : FOX HOUND 2. Accessory : Metal Gear Rex Head 3. Accessory : Bandana[/quote] sweet

you also get the diamond dogs and mgo3 nameplates, as well as the eyepatch and metal gear ray head accessories if you have mgsv.

Best deal I can find is 18% off at GMG but I know they had a 25% voucher in January, and a 20% off sitewide that conveniently ended today. Gonna wait a couple days I guess, maybe after the beta is over

if anybody's up for playing tomorrow feel free to add me on steam. i'll probably be playing around 5 pm pst (14 hours from now?)

i wish you could change how you deploy things to be how it was in TPP

man, this game is a tonne of fun only thing is i somehow changed which shoulder i look over in third person and don't know how to change it back

[QUOTE=a-cookie;53136296]man, this game is a tonne of fun only thing is i somehow changed which shoulder i look over in third person and don't know how to change it back[/QUOTE] default is V

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;53135673]original post said feb 16, and the english division usually uses pst for their time frame.[/QUOTE] I think they responded in the twitter thread, since it was KonamiUK, that it was in GMT.

This game really beat the shit out of Fortnite already and we don't even have all the content. The main game is supposed to feature an open world and these are "drop missions" right?

Fortnite "PvE mode" [i]is[/i] fortnite. Battle royale was a tacked on popularity grab after several years of being in beta. This game is already much more fun than FN PvE. I'm mostly wondering if there will be an exploration mode for co-op. I know in singleplayer there's supposed to be a real world to travel like MGSV, and the description on some notes in the beta implies these quickies are just one mode they're showing for the beta. One beef I had with Fortnite was that it was a menu drop in game rather than an exploration one similar to this mode, hoping there's a free roam

Really enjoyed both betas from PS4 and PC so far, tempted to get it already but will wait for a while after release and see how active the player base will be and how the full game will pan out. It definitely is better than I expected.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;53136057]you also get the diamond dogs and mgo3 nameplates, as well as the eyepatch and metal gear ray head accessories if you have mgsv.[/QUOTE] I didn't get any of that, or is it only if you have the game installed?

[QUOTE=Combine 177;53136398]I didn't get any of that, or is it only if you have the game installed?[/QUOTE] the beta isnt the game

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;53136399]the beta isnt the game[/QUOTE] So those are not part of beta, got it.

So apparently it's fun, but what I worry about is will it remain fun over an extended period of time and retain a playerbase, or just die off within a couple months.
