Although those wandering Mother Base Soldiers are hard as nails. This guy took a rocket punch to the face, a CQC slam and finally only went down after a 5 hit combo.
Yet today I managed to drive over one dude who refused to go out of the way and lose all of the gathering progress I made on MB. I really don't like this particular area of the game, it's just an an agglomeration of dead end stair and pipe mazes with unnecessary long driveways between each other
 
Don'T work very well, given that they run away on sight and espeically the last three are going to be iffy if you want to tranq them.

You know I can see if you play MGS5 like the past games how it could become a little tedious after a while. But if you play to the games strengths (ie. its mechanics) then the only limit is your imagination.

1) Get the Love Deterrence song.
2) Put it on the IDroid's speaker and set it to loop.
3) Walk towards the soldier.
4) Profit.

Is there a way to choose which 4 badges show up on your Steam profile or is this some perk you unlock at a high level? Thx!

Go to profile settings and you should have the following options:

Select a featured badge (for the top of your profile)

Badge Collector Showcase (seperate from the top of the profile or the sidebar) - you can choose "selected badges" from the style drop down menu, and then choose five of the ones to feature

I think having a show case might be dependant on Steam level, but not a particularly high one
 
I think they might mean can you change the 4 badges right underneath your level on your profile. Not the featured or the badge showcase.

If they mean that, there is no way I see how you can do that. It just shows the latest ones you have acquired.

I wish you could change that though to "Most recent" or "Custom."

There's really no reason to drive between platforms on Mother Base. I mean do it once to get a sense of the scale, but after that there are faster ways to travel. Either call a chopper and have them bring you to your desired platform, or find the delivery point and use the cardboard box to fast travel.

I won't argue that certain platforms are just tedious mazes (I'm looking at you R&D platform), or that it's a hassle trying to track down your soldiers for the morale boost. I stopped bother with that a while ago, and now I only approach the soldiers who happen to be in my way. Generally I only really return to MB now to shower, and occasionally return a photograph when I get a new one.

Yeah, this is what I meant. I just want to choose which badges appear on the right side under my level b/c some are ugly as hell. Too bad.

I don't want to replace my screenshot showcase w/ badges.

Thanks anyway dudes.

I own a WiiU, enjoy Mario games and have no strong feelings to get or even want to play Mario Maker at all.

Not sure why.

Because it's a game for making them (or is what it is being sold at)
Erm, if you're more into playing through the game vs making levels, it's not in your best interest to buy day 1 vs waiting a few months for a good sale and some great levels.

Also with user generated content, the game never ends, so you might avoid it for that reason.

Just some thoughts as to maybe why? Those are kind of why I'm not wanting to play it at the moment.

I guess I am not a big level editor guy. I get the appeal though.

Probably would have tried it if it wasn't so pricey though to be honest.

Yeah mostly that the level editor thing.

A game never ending really doesn't bug me.

maybe kojimas like 9/11 you guys go play some mario maker

No cat ears today?

Also, if Mario Maker was like Mario Paint and came with the system, I'd play it. Although, I've lost my creative edge back in college after making AGS stuff about my college roommates, so it would probably just sit there.

yea, price too steep but that game sounds like a reason to buy a wii u for me

like, i didn't get much into lbp cos i didn't really enjoy the editor, it was too complicated and physics were weird so it didn't feel like playtesting those levels was much fun either

but like making an editor to then play like mario in is like fucking awesome, you can't really ask for a better game to make levels for, and it seems to be tile based which imo is a very enjoyable and simple way of crafting levels

it's just so much fun for someone like me, it's a real system seller and really makes me want to buy a wii u

whats u mean

Yeah, I am sure Mario Maker would be fun for you since you seem keen on the idea but, I don't know if I would tell you to buy a WiiU for just that.

LBP physics were trash to me so I felt I dodged a bullet not buying that and playing that at a friends. People made some really cool stuff in there though.

Isnt your avatar a new character?

Yeah it's Sailor Lux.

Worst enemies in MGSV are without doubt choppers: there's simply no way to take them down silently where I am. Usually they require two rockets to blown, but after you fire the first one, the game goes on reflex mode and you have no time to reload and shoot another missile. At least this is where I'm at the moment (need to do mission 12), maybe later there will be a easy way to destroy choppers.

Fun fact is you can avoid them, but this requires a lot of time, and in the area with
mini-gears
a chopper, bundled with tons of soldier, make the mission very hard to S rank.

Also really, in this game you do nothing else than infiltrating enemy's bases. There are bases everywhere, or groups of buildings.
Only scrubs play with reflex mode on.

Is Phil Fish still doing games?

He keeps posting about something called Panoramical - which is out on Steam September 17th

People called all that 9/11 stuff a red herring. A herring is a fish. Kojima Productions is resident in Los Angeles. And what else is resident in los angeles? The Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra or short LA Phil. I think we are getting somewhere.

well lately i havent been goofing around with level editors much cos i haven't found the time to work on making levels for games other than mine heh, but mario feels like a good exception

i probably should play around with vvvvvv's level editor too since it's one of my favorite games ever

Yeah it's Sailor Lux.

reminder to the person that gets it to cut dinner date some slack

it may be silly pretentious but it's like 20 minutes and one dollar of your time. i know humble bundle made 1 dollar a really valuable commodity but u know, guy tried something, it failed, but it was an interesting experiment at least..

Death stairs


Zky on the other hand....

People complain about mine all the time, so I am trying to cut down on them.

Yeah it also takes a long time to make good levels which I don't like doing. I like character creators but not level editors. I am weird.
star guardian lux thank you very much

tho i like calling her madoka lux cos of the hair

But her costume is clearly a Sailor Scout uniform and is ripping off Chibimoon with her hair :v
