The NVGs double as thermal vision, which is really useful.

See, I thought it was doing that, but it wasn't 'thermal' enough.

I'm with Jeff - the NVGs aren't very useful. I'm able to spot everything anyway and DD's very useful at filling in the gaps.

Am I the only one who turned off reflex mode at the very start and haven't looked back? It doesn't feel 'right' for MGS and you still get a little leeway to stop a full alert.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Spoliers ahoy!

Where? FOBs aren't spoilers.

Brad is making out like gangbusters.

 

[shadyspace]

There's no downside to building a FOB, right? Because only your FOB stuff can get jacked?

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Back home in time for the last quarter of UPF.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I love that running a wiki has turned Jeff into a genre stickler. And when did an inventory become the defining factor of a game being considered an adventure game?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Brad's heavily invested in the war economy.

 

[Archaix]

All of this sounds fucking terrible. If I ever play this game, it's absolutely going to be in offline mode.

 

[Bacon]

Sometimes things aren't a spoiler until you point out they're a spoiler.

And sometimes people are too quick to call everything a spoiler

I think the inventory thing was Jeff fucking with Dan more than anything else

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Unless I missed something when grabbing a drink there have been zero spoilers.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Okay everyone. Would you volunteer to be Fultoned in real life?

Sounds awesome right? The caveat is it could happen at any moment to you during the course of a month you nominate performed by a Navy SEAL or British SAS or whatever.

I should send this as a Bombcast email.

 

[Myggen]

Nah, no spoilers that I noticed.

It might be to others who consider Gear, etc spoilers

Spoiler culture, bro

 

[StopMakingSense]

You can't not build an FOB. Also you really need to have an FOB to get more people for each platform.

 

[shadyspace]

You can't not build an FOB.

Brad just said differently. Plus even if he's mistaken, I guess you can just build one and then play offline.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Why has the term "spoiler culture" entered the gaming lexicon recently?

 

[StopMakingSense]

Brad just said differently.

The game stops you and makes you go through the purchase.

Either way, you really, really want to build that free FOB.

Yeah I was hoping to wait on seeing adult D-Dog, but unfortunately the latest podcast already spoiled that. Other than that, it's explanatory without being spoilery. Does anybody know if your

Isn't that for MGS Online.

Oh really? Is that different than the FOB stuff then?

Yep.

Seeing as how I'm at Mission 17 and really hitting a wall insofar as my GMP and Resource requirements I can definitely see that being the case.

Yes.

You get it after mission

OK wow apparently I have no idea what Metal Gear Online is. Does that come free with MGSV?

Edit: And there's spoilers. I didn't know that costume was in the game. Oh well.

The one you created at the beginning of the game? Yes, and not just in Metal Gear Online.

 

[shadyspace]

Why would you not have a suppressor on your WU Pistol

 

[DrFunk]

Why would you not have a suppressor on your WU Pistol

He has an unlimited one, apparently

 

[slightconfuse]

This discussion is just cementing that GOTY is basically MGSV's to lose.


And it's not going to lose.

One of them wil finish the Witcher 3

hopefully

It's MGSV's competitive MP. It releases in October.

Must be a weird internal one? There definitely wasn't one on the icon on his load-out screen.

That was in GZ, the most minor of spoilers.

Thanks. My wife and I were sad that we haven't been able to

play as Trouser Snake

yet.

he has the one with the built in suppressor

Rorie with the important questions.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

"I guess it's possible that you could poop while parachuting."

- Dan Ryckert, (multiple parachute jump veteran.)

 

[TheMrPliskin]

So that's why Big Boss is a legendary soldier.

 

[DrFunk]

Lmao

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

That was pretty funny. I don't think I want to engage with the online, though.

 

[Liamc723]

That character creation is actually really important.

Dan finished it, didn't he?

Regardless, they have never really talked about Witcher with the same enthusiasm they use when talking about MGSV and Mario Maker.

They liked Witcher 3.

They fucking LOVE MGSV and Mario Maker.

 

[DrFunk]

Me either. Seems like too much of a hassle

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I have no doubt there's fun to be had there, but I just know most people have far more time to beef up their base and retaliate against me and whatnot.

Last time he gave an update he'd just hit Skellige.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'll probably end up putting Witcher 3 above MGSV, partially in protest.

 

[justjim89]

Can you use stealth camo and just sprint to the goal?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I'll probably end up putting Witcher 3 above MGSV, partially in protest.

I played maybe an hour of Witcher and just couldn't care. I don't know why, but it wasn't fun to play, and I had to power through to try and "get to the good part" as people say. Never found it. Gwent wasn't even that much fun.

I really wish they'd get off this FOB thing.

You know, if it doesn't grab you at that point I don't think it's going to. There are some incredibly rewarding character progression stuff when you get up to higher levels, but it's not the type of game that has some big turning point that you should get to before passing judgement.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Is Brad looking slimmer?

 

[BanGy.nz]

Dan finished it, didn't he?

Earlier in the show he mentioned he's still not finished it.
