In Africa the dust is extra heavy and lethal. For Africa I am guessing they're planning on drip feeding content some people have disabled the fog on PC and near those areas you can see flying schools of creatures flying around in the distance. Have any screenshots of those creatures?

What part of the TPP map? Cause it looks more like they just copy-pasted small to medium sized chunks, instead of doing the whole map and removing the excess areas.

That trophy apparently means any damage to a structure at all, since I put up a bunch of fences on top of my others and still didn't get that cheevo. SAM gave me that one.

They will respawn at random after a time, much like wandering wormholes or other world side missions. Like those other missions their location is static, so as long as you know where to look and are keeping an eye out you won't miss them.

This game got a lot of flak because of the name that was attached to it. Metal Gear is one of my favorite franchises and gently caress Konami for that whole ordeal but I don't really view this game through that lens. Putting all the metal gear stuff aside, how is this game in terms of being a zombie survival game? Is it fun, or is it still bad?

Aha, amazing. Got a chest that has a high chance of not using ammo or arrows when firing. With arrows though the proc chance I'd high enough that I'm coming away with more ammunition than I started, because the free arrows can still be picked up.

Of course it’s the only zombie survival game I’ve played... I did like it enough to finish the campaign and do a bit of post-game stuff, though. The core loop of venturing further out and finding new stuff to help you venture further out was very satisfying to me, and the defence stuff was always just tense enough to be very exciting but it never got so hard as to be frustrating. The difficulty seemed to be perfectly tuned to me. Except for the last base defence, that felt like a little bit of a cliff but I guess it was teaching me to be better prepared...

It's not a bad game by any means, especially nowhere near as bad as Youtube personalities are making it out to be, but it's not good game either. It's just an average. Still I've got my moneys worth from it and had plenty of fun once I started getting into it. The Co-op is also a ton of fun if you can get a game going, but that's easier said than done.

I used the scout subclass hammer throw move on a tracker (it's the one where it looks like you're throwing them against the ropes in wrestling) and the thing went like 300 yards in the opposite direction doing its rollerblade walk. Great animation. I like the game a lot, but I don't understand the business rationale behind making it a seperate game instead of DLC. PP has a huge install base and you'd get buys from people curious about it instead of just hearing crazy poo poo on youtube. Although I guess 2015 is a little old for DLC.

Are you supposed to get a drop if you defeat the flying pod man that sharts ice during the rescue mission co-op? He went down 3 times for me yesterday but I never got anything special. I didn't land the final blow during any of those fights though.

I definitely noticed that. I did a few matches where he was dropped really quickly by higher-level players. I didn't know they were even fighting him and I was wondering what the cheat was to reach a rank before even doing the first extraction. It didn't click until I helped fight him and saw the meter fill up when he died. I just thought he might drop some extra loot as well.

He only drops loot as a world boss, sadly. He's just a massive source of IRIS in multiplayer. Snipe his yellow bit when it glows, then toss a molotov and unload your shotgun onto him when he falls over.

Killing the boss at the start of the match does make the rescues a bit easier. That said I've had some success in drawing the boss away from the carrier with the shotgun and then using Stealth Camo + Fox Walk to get away from it and back to the group. Still don't really know how to do significant damage to Big Mouth though.

Shoot him in the balls, or get him to swallow a barrel. I ha entirely quite mastered the art of baiting his chomp though.

The scaling on bosses is really silly. Scratch damage until hit 69 is absurd.

Finally beat the game. Shame they didn't do more with it, though I quite liked the ending twists: they were very Metal Gear, aside from maybe being a bit too sensible. So after this, it's just base digs and possibly getting PS+ to do the online stuff? I constantly butt against the fact that I can't build enough poo poo in the base, does it ever let me do more? And if I have thousands more than needed, can I just leave it to play itself?

I have only completed dig 1 and don't have the max allowable number of garden plots or tents built and I'm at 99.7% capacity. I can build like 1 more fence segment. Does the build limit increase at all beyond the initial base expansion?

Even with all production buildings, storage facilities and tents i can manage a full ring of electric fencing, and around 30 gatling turrets. Are you getting rid of redundant buildings, like the basic workshops?

They boosted it about four times now. It was rather hardcore to decide on either defense or base building only half your options. You should be able to fence everything well enough, because zombies move between spike barriers. If you are going to use everything for post-game, the smoker, kiln, and kitchenette provides all the food options. I don't know about the Legendary structure from Plan 6, but you can dump the pot and campfire structures. Everything else is third tier crafting table and second tier first aid station. You don't even need all the water structures to stay in the black when you have B rank food and base development. The PITA medical building should also be good enough for medical supplies. Just never repair it, since it costs like 5 games of MP resources. Never skimp on the animal pens.

The legendary food prep facility from plan 6 lets you make foods out of the 1,000,000,000 sheep livers you have lying around. It only takes 20 onions per meal! (The foods from the legendary cookery are REALLY BAD unless you're trying to stack every obscure food buff in the game.) It actually looks pretty dope though, it's a fully finished and furnished building just like the medical storage building.

It looks better that way imo

I get that limits need to be in place to prevent everything being walled off by turrets, but it would be nice to accommodate aesthetics and defense with a reasonable "budget". Incidentally I'm really itchy to get back into Phantom Pain. Can I still safely ignore the base invasion stuff?
