Support NeoGAF

[| Praxis |]

People keep saying the missions are filler and get boring. They must be approaching them the same way every time, because I have found the way the actual missions play out to be one of the most diverse in a game in recent memory. There are literally dozens of ways to approach them and for shit to go wrong. I haven't had one play out the same.

What does the X marked square mean under the staff roster? I'm trying to get rid of the trouble makers after seeing bad news in here

Means that they aren't loyal to you yet, so you have to wait until they become loyal for you to move or dismiss them.

Is there anyway to upgrade your suppressor? I'm sick of calling in Supply Drops for a new one.

Good question I would like to know. I've heard that there's a side op that allows you to get arms dealers and that lets you put attachments and customize your gun more so maybe that's an option too.

 

[Reebot]

40 hours into the game, and I had no idea there was fast travel. Not even an explanation or tutorial pop-up explaining it.

How do you use it?

 

[Mengetsu]

Bumping for fast moving thread. Is the Elegia song from the E3 trailer in the game as a tape? If so is it in the first 13 chapters? I need this song!

Eventually, yes.

They're attached to higher cost weapon/schematics research though, you can't research them on their own.

If you look at the tranq pistol upgrade path, you can find that you can eventually

build a new variant of the gun with a built-in one

That sounds...not right haha. "You must be loyal before I dismiss you!" lol

Are the ''precious metals'' resource used for anything else than selling em for GPM?

[a very cute dog]

Any tips for upping buddy rank with D-Dog? Is there any reason to use D-Horse beyond transportation? D-Dog seems to have more utility.

 

[GodParticle]

I saw some tip about how troublemakers can make your team sick and to put them on the same team. How do you know who troublemakers are?

 

[jackissocool]

Just got D-Walker and I'm wondering: why the fuck would anyone want to use this stupid goddamn robot instead of D-Horse? Fuck you, Notacan and your shitty mech. It sucks.

Oh shit you're right, I hadn't even connected the dots like that.

Spoiler

All I could think the whole time is: no goddamn way is this real. None of it makes any sense and that's pretty clear when Boss's memory changes from what we know to be true from GZ. And Ocelot and Kaz just show up, without every mentioning her before, then throw a bunch of info they just never bothered sharing before? I am certain either Big Boss is straight crazy or he's got some Kid Mantis fucking with him.

 

[Ishida]

what is it lol

Do you remember the "you will be ashamed of your words" bullshit that Kojima said in response to Quiet's appearance?

Well, that's all that was. Bullshit.

It's fan service, plain and simple. Kojima didn't even TRY to give an excuse.

You'll find out later, there's more to it...and you will understand why it works that way.
On the other hand the reasoning over why exactly she doesn't wear anything is quite poor and makes little sense.

 

[Fluxer]

Enjoying this game even though I'm only a couple of hours in.

A few niggles so far are the AI is a bit random at times and the annoying animations when climbing mountains and when the horse is sprinting.

 

[brau]

My reaction

So you were ashamed of your words and deeds, then. right?

 

[LeonSPBR]

D-Walker can use tranq weapons and lethal weapon, it's stealthier than the horse and can take a lot of punishment.

 

[bananafactory]

Is there really no difficulty options?

Spoiler

I'm guessing something changed between then because she seemed like a normal human in the prologue.

I don't like how enemies magically appear out of nowhere when I'm infiltrating a base. Just extracted the Russian Spetsnaz commander and am 100% sure I cleared a large amount of the base, taking most people out and I turn around and I see 2 or more soldiers patrolling where I just came from. Feels almost like it's cheating against me. Ugh.

There's generally a pair of soldiers (or maybe more?) that patrol between bases. I'd reckon they're the first to respond when a base is attacked, or if they notice something wrong.

Stay frosty.

You can raise D-Dog faster by petting him (triangle button to me) every time he makes a find (enemies, plants or animals). The horse is only usable for transportation, that's why the game let's you change buddies in the mission, so you can use which one is the best.

Are you supposed to sell all precious metal?

Soldiers don't magically spaw at bases. There can be support send from other bases or wandering patrolling soldiers. There are often two that wander around between bases or/and two in a car.

whats the way to increase the bond with D horse his the only one I don't have maxed ...

 

[jackissocool]

D-Walker can use tranq weapons and lethal weapon, it's stealthier than the horse and can take a lot of punishment.

But I can use tranq and lethal weapons while on Horse. Punishment is irrelevant because people just ignore Horse. And no damn way is that robot stealthier. Guards spot me a mile away on that thing while I can pretty fucking close without getting spotted on Horse. 🐎4eva
