Nice, I've been waiting for this game for a while now.

Doing side ops is a whole lot easier when you have tanks. Allows me to traverse the map without setting off alarms, provided I don't drive like an asshole.

Penguins are dope, i approve. Its to bad that the game is very minecraftish(as in pounding on a tree with your hands for materials)
Freedom = $1.05

yeah but whats the cost of deploying them?
Not that i can even try that right now, my one tank is off getting tore up in a combat deployment

I call bias. I demand a recount!
The AI changes tho.
Infiltrating an outpost full of A+ ranked soldiers isn't the same as doing it with nothing but E ranked ones. I had to go back and replay the malak mission because somehow Kaz fired him or he died. But you need him since since he is anesthesia specialist. Anyways I replayed that mission 10 later in the game and got destroyed by the AI. Everyone was wearing heavy armor at that prison outpost. Quiet tranqd snipers but they fired back at her and she just couldn't help me while I sneaking around. I had to retry the mission like 10 times and finally succeeded after doing different buddy, new weapons, calling air support. They even shot down my chopper. I barely made it out alive with jeeps chasing me as I extracted the guy. It was very intense and fun seeing how the AI adapted to me. The first time I did that mission it was very easy. That is just one mission of very few that I replayed. I can't even imagine how different some of the other ones are. Little things like that add a lot of replay value to the game imo. Its very different compared to other open world games.

finally got customizing weapons unlocked in MGSV...added a suppressor to my tranq sniper rifle and took out an outpost without getting anywhere near it (was a Side-Op for extracting a soldier)
I just run everywhere and use the postal service when I can.
Also finally got the part where the FOB stuff starts. My recommendation to everyone, be online long enough to build the fob, and then never go online ever again (don't accept the ToS in the beginning so you'll start offline).
At least this way I can now send 4 crews of combat forces onto assignments and got a little more space on all my teams.
With regards to the MGS series,
I always found the plots convoluted and hammy. MGS1, and I'm only going from memory, stood out because of of the emotional impact of the characters- the bosses specifically. The later games faltered in this a bit, though you can't really blame someone for not striking gold twice. 2 and 4 were the worst, although once again, going from memory. Maybe I just liked young Eva and The Boss, dunno.
Campaign-wise, MGSV reminds me of 4, with the second half being relatively lackluster (unless you chose to save Quiet and max out her bond). With 4, you were ferried from set piece/boss with long redundant cinematics in-between. V has the mission grind, and feels like the second season of a TV show that wasn't intended to last as long as as did. Focusing on loose ends, side characters, and seemingly random events that were introduced earlier, with likely much of it ending up unresolved. (But it's not terrible, I can see what they're trying to do- make you understand how the Big Boss of MGS3 became the one we know in the chronologically later games. Plus you do get some feeling of investment with the characters and their reasons.) They could cut out a lot of fat and the game would still be 30+ hours with significantly improved pacing.
I haven't finished V yet though, so my opinion might change.

Victor Vran is on GMG now and 10% off...you can use their 25% off voucher (SAVE25-AUTUMN-SAVE25) to get it cheaper too ($13.50)
http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/action/victor-vran/
I'd pick it up if I had the money in the bank. I keep hoping Nuuvem adds it but still nothing.
edit: added the 25% off voucher that was mentioned below

there's a 25% off voucher from GMG that's valid until the 18th SAVE25-AUTUMN-SAVE25
I have a feeling it'll be November. It'd be amazing if it was October since this is probably my most anticipated game of the year, with Mario Maker. This is one of the few games that will make me drop everything else going on.

alright...didn't know about that one
only changes the price by a few cents though ($13.50)

That Ghost in the Shell game looks about as shitty as I thought it would be.
Also I want to smack whoever decided for this music in this trailer.

In defense, you should only need to do that very briefly at the very beginning to get the few materials you need for a pickaxe and hatchet.

I don't think it's that match, but I haven't been paying attention. Maybe 10-20k? Can't be any more expensive than redeploying for every side op on the other side of the map.
Still unlocking the postal service stuff.
I did the exact same, it's what I was missing from MGS4. Now I'm just unlocking weapons to get more options. I usually run with a a silenced tranq sniper and a silenced AR w/ 8x Rifle scope. I was using the tranq handgun, but I may ditch that now for when shit goes south.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Seriously.
And yes Uzzy please be okay. The Makoto model won't give you too many nightmares.
So Ghost in the Shell is about radioactive robots and lots and lots of shooting?
It's definitely worth trying to switch to a DP cable, or DVI if your monitor has that. HDMI cables tend to be very finnicky in my experience, sometimes the connector just breaks after a while, some pins get loosened to the point of not being connected, etcetera.
That's not to mention the fact that some of them have some weird latency issues ,_,

Never thought I'd see the day when TellTale remastered their games.
Such a dire trend.
'Kay, I've watched ten seconds of that video and I will now render judgement:
Call of Duty: Anime Warfare

fight me.
still looks boring.
i got farther than you and i can confirm that is indeed the case.
Wow, that's a terrible marketing department.

Sadly that's what this game thinks that what it is.
If it was only that it would be better. I wouldn't even really call it that anime.
Damn it man I ain't got time for this.

when you can do that?
That music.. why?
So uh, anyway. Positives. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn voicing the Major is awesome, gives me a little hope. (Beats Arise in that regard!) The gameplay looks about what I expected, and her character design isn't that bad.
That's it I suppose. Terrible, terrible waste of a license, on which I will only spend maybe 75% of my disposable income.
the music holy shit this is incredible how
You'll eventually get a side op to find a Legendary Gunsmith, Kaz will even notify you IIRC. Just follow the quest line.
The sniper + tranq is OP, although later story missions will often have heavy infantry that are near impossible to hit because their face and body are covered with early 00's bubble jackets.

once you finish the first story mission in Africa (Mission 13) you get a series of Side-Op missions (3 of them) to rescue a Legendary Gunsmith...finish one to unlock the next and when you finish the 3rd one it unlocks weapon customization
spoiler'd it just in case

cmon seriously guys, we're spoiling a side ops that has practically no story to it? this is getting a bit silly now don't you think?
Fitting that the soul of the game is gone, left only with a shell...

My running theory is that The Witness, FireWatch & No Man's Sky all have some sort of VR announcement to make, since they were all slated for 2015 and all mysteriously went dark or cryptic about their respective release dates. I still think 2015 is possible if this is the case and they just release on everything at the same time.
It's funny because these are the games I am most interested in and they all did the same thing. Plus I have no interest in getting into VR right now, I just want the damn games
kek!
The first game I have backed that I am disappointed with, and it isn't even out yet

People did say they want all the MGS V stuff spoilered, easy enough to just skip those posts. Better than yesterday when potential spoilers showed up in the KH thread of all places.
Is it because of leaderboards and multiplayer as well?
Hero Prinny

chances on what exactly is my question? its like, do the side ops 12,13, and 15 (random numbers, thats not actually the side quest for anyone wanting to get customization) or just say do the side ops related to the gunsmith. If anyone is so sensitive about spoilers that they'd honestly get angry about something like that then they just shouldn't be on a gaming discussion board, i understand it if people don't want key story elements or things related to the story spoiled but how to unlock weapon customization? thats where you've lost me :/
This is not what I want out of a GitS video game.
They had me at GITS video game, so save yourselves.
