I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Peace Walker is my least favourite followed by MSG4 for a variety of reasons across both. MGS4 edges it out by playing better (Act 1 and most of Act 2). Peace Walker just felt weirdly limited, restrictive, and micromanaging for my taste. That and I thought the plot was balls.
My high is torn between MGS and MGS3. MGS3 to me is up there with Resident Evil 4 in how exceptionally brilliant the design, length, content, pacing, and game diversity is. But in the same breath I prefer the overall tone of MGS. MGS2 follows close behind though, and it's a game I've grown to appreciate more as time has passed.
MGSV is a mixed bag for me. When it's good, it's really fucking incredible. Possibly the best stealth in the series. It feels good to play, the game systems are heavily agency driven with a huge breadth of wiggle room for tactics and equipment use. It properly envisions ideas KojiPro played with in MGS3 and MGS4, that being larger, open encounters where you seamlessly flow from the outskirts to the inside of a base. The general openness of this approach, scouting the surrounding area, the leading approach, infiltrating in, and eventually getting out is exhilarating and brilliant. It's a very, very good stealth game.
But I really hate the open world itself (to be fair, I'm still in Afghanistan), which doesn't really play like a proper open world in design coherence with missions and tasks, while also being incredibly dull and boring by its own merits. I'm also not completely sold on Mother Base. Automating tasks is good (in that, you dont need to micromanage staff; click a button and they'll go wherever), but the actual resource collection and multitude of goods to develop seems needlessly obtuse for the kind of game it is. There's like...mother base funds, four or five resources, plant resources, and so on. I personally don't feel acquiring resources and expanding Mother Base is very rewarding. The overall game feedback isn't very satisfying when you're outside of missions. This is the junk handover from Peace Walker that I don't like.
So yeah, I dunno. When it's good it's amazing. When it's bad it's pretty fucking dull. I can see what they were trying to do, and it does come together more often than not, but I also think they made some amateurish mistakes in the overall design of the open world and integration of missions, development, and flow.

I found it in one of the earliest mission starting spots. Probably the first 5 missions starting spots.

Not out for a few months on consoles and not until January on pc. Sorry
It's OK, was just curious, didn't pick the game up yet, was curious why there was no separate thread for it yet

4-5 hours into the game, having a lot of fun so far.
The "discreet" storytelling is actually an advantage for me since I never played MGS 2/3 and as a result MGS 4's story was fucking impossible for me to follow.
Obviously I'm missing some stuff here and there but at least I'm not completely lost.

Thank you! Enjoy eating those children, they look nummy!
Hmm. Any options in the menu screen (left corner touchpad) for ACC? Restart mission option? Anything?

Yes there is, though it's around Mission the late teen missions that you get this weapon.

Nothing comes up at all to leave the room. The second I hit the button, it's straight to a black screen.
I think the game has multiple chapters with multiple episodes within
Over a week with the game & 60 hours in, I have to say that the biggest disappointment for me is lack of being able to customize Mother Base strut layout, MB not feeling very alive (needs soldiers target practicing like in the E3 demo's as well as Heli's flying around doing shit), and lack of cutscenes compared to other MGS games. Other than that, amazing.

They're delicious.
But yeah, I'm on a 980 Ti and playing at 1440p, everything maxed with HBAO+, and the framerate is locked at 60fps sans for the rare and brief drop or stutter at a specific moment during saving/streaming or a cutscene. It doesn't appear to be a hugely demanding game. 4K is, obviously, but if you wanted to play native 4K you probably could and still hit great performance by toning down some of the settings. And if you still want to max it out I can imagine 1440p upscaled is better than 1080p, plus extra graphical goodies over PS4.
I mean the menu options for the game itself. If you're on PS4 and press in the left bottom corner of the touchpad you get the menu options (separate from idroid) Should give you a restart option etc.
ashamed of your words and deeds?Just got the explanation for Quiet's clothing.
My god I am average at MGS games but I am hopelessly lost here. First chapter I just did the first town, an outpost, and activated the whole second town when looking for the mission objective. Then ran over those things and somehow made it out. God I suck, i feel lost.

Yeah, I thought the same. However, there is more to it than that. You'll see what I mean.

So I did Chapter 12
and the cut scene of Huey getting interrogated looks significantly different (different lighting, no bag over his head) and it overall looks...worse, sadly. I guess cause it took place in the day, when the trailer showed it to be much darker.
Is there even a way to have the scene play differently? like at night, or with a bag over Huey's head (like the trailer)?

I dunno what you're even trying to say, so I guess I'm also lost.
That's a different cutscene.
Remember the hospital scene? What happened there plays into it.

Is it OK to sell weapon emplacements? Are they used for anything other than FOB defense?
Yes, their servers are getting hammered.
Ohhh, right. Almost forgot about that.

Loading screen just dropped a HOT protip on me. If you have two guys with the Troublemaker skill, put them in the same unit. They'll be occupied with each other and won't get anyone sick.
