Maybe this is something you can do later, but is there anyway to get on top of the big chunk of Mother Base near your new base? I see one of the loot containers (the shipping container looking ones), but I haven't managed to get up there yet.

There are an awful lot of invisible walls where you should be able to climb over with sandbags and I had a fun time trying to get a container on the desert mother base. I had to keep climbing and then fall off rails.

You can get on top of mother base in the hub, that supply box is actually usable. I got up there by building a ramp on top of the busted pillar on the left hand side facing the base. You have just enough height to do a dive roll off the side and land safely on the unbroken part.

It's just not the same with Kojima gone. By which I mean it was released on time, within budget, and I don't believe any of the female characters make me long for death. Discendo Vox fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Feb 27, 2018 |

I wish Miranda could stop time or shoot bees or something even if it's incredibly stupid because the characters in this game just have nothing to make them unique and it sucks. edit: I like Chris for a lot of reasons though. Chris is cool. I think they could have done a lot more with the concept of "a few distinct characters that have become unstuck from time" because none of them ever actually talk about the time period/places they come from and it's a real missed opportunity imo.

Man the game really picks up the difficulty once you hit Act 2, huh? At least, I'm assuming this is what could be called Act 2, when you switch maps. These new enemies are loving assholes.

It was more for her aggressive pacifism/whatever the gently caress made her go “let’s reason with the zombies” than anything. Also I have her on the potato farm. Also also I didn’t play TPP. Also also also if I did I would prob use horse or dog or walker instead.

Also the nurse lady is so good at medicine that by herself she takes the medical team an entire letter grade up. I don't think she ever brings up the pacifism after the first dialog either.

The nurse came in on the ambulance that she was riding in. It's not that unbelievable that a caring nurse would turn "kill 'em all and let god sort them out" five minutes into it.

If you can make guns out of zed spines maybe you can make a fake skull out of one too.

And I mean most of the people in Metal Gear Rising were just a spine and brain sitting in cyborg bodies that were p much robots from the jaw down. Obviously these wanderers are just missing MGR enemies and need rehabilitation.

I really want to get this game but I'm on a gaming budget and I have a lot of other games to play. so: is the multiplayer so good in this that I really should get it now, or will it be fine in a year or six months when it's on sale? I.e. is multiplayer a giant part of this game that's indispensable?

I hate that near the wolbachia mansion there is a little area that looks like every other like base with a transporter, but has no transporter. Luckily there was a walker gear nearby so getting the extra classes was really easy. I put my O2 generator in there but I bet it's gone when I return. Maybe at max research level you can unlock a way to quick return to base.

Okay, so on PC what's the keyboard command to close the iDroid? I opened it for the first time, went through the tutorial, and then hit every button on the keyboard trying to close the drat thing. E: After starving to death, apparently I missed the "place a guide marker" bit.

At the end you get the option to do a base defense mission in your own base, but the rewards are a pittance and you can just leave it to your soldier AIs anyways, plus it only runs every 24 irl hours. It's like Destiny, the endgame is a chase after purples so that you can run harder content, etc but it's all multiplayer. I personally find the co-op a lot of fun, but it's a bit easy right now. They are going to make it harder in the future.

That patch just now jacked up the difficulty for hard coop missions. Supposedly, the points required to hit S require you have to have the digger going overdrive and you need the support digger both going at the same time to hit S rank during the 3rd wave. Then the rewards got nerfed to give out less pink items. The patch notes also mention the shotguns got hit a bit, but they seem to just be weaker at longer ranges now, was fine for a base defense I just did. Base dig rewards, past the initial clear which gives some base recipes, seem to be all about the crew improvement manuals. You can see that the orange epic items that post game bosses require higher ranked teams and weapon dev buildings. Of course, there's no way to get them right now and i'm not even sure where to find the required kits for pink item upgrades even.

Ah right, the bosses. I've honestly been kind of cool on them after fighting the first one, I put a load of materials into it and really didn't get anything back that I wouldn't have had in Co-Op. I'm sure the rest are better. Have people been seeing a huge shortage on distress call missions? I only have like nine people in my base and I'm not really sure how many I'm supposed to have. There don't seem to be any big benefits from having more than one or two people on a team, so I've just been dumping them in the base defense group. I have heard that they made it so that the harvester acceleration drops when it gets hit, hence making it a lot harder to get to S, but I'm not sure how bad it is. I really hope it doesn't reset if a mortar across the map hit it once. E. Hard Mode S rank isn't loving around, you really do need to constantly boost. God drat. E2. Ran into my first hacker today, dude was putting down tens of auto turrets and just shooting zeds as they fell out of the portals.

Aww yeah found the Snake Eater tape. Why the hell does this game not have a walkman, by the way? And on that note, why the hell doesn't this game have cardboard boxes? Even if they'd be pretty useless against zombies not having boxes in a Metal Gear game is pretty bizarre.
