As long as I don't get sub-20 FPS I'm content.

If you PC is really struggling you should consider enabling the 30FPS lock in settings, rock solid 30 tends to feel smoother than jittering around in the 30-45 range.

Alright good, I was worried it wasn't going to come out until after the game released.

The control system was really loving me over before, on the Miller extraction mission I knocked out a guard and was trying to put him in a small storage room, I had Miller in the same room and the room had a bunch of weapons on the floor so every time I tried to drop the guard and pick Miller up I was stuck in some comical cycle of picking up random weapons/the same guard I'd just knocked out over and over.

Yeah, after getting comfortable with the controls, this my biggest issue. Often I have trouble selecting a spotlight without jumping over the railing.

Fellow game havers: Can you return your soldiers salutes at Motherbase? I've tried to salute them back, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. Ditto for interacting with little D-Dog, he just stands there, looking at me, and i'm bummed out that I can't seem to interact with him.

No, I've not found a way to do this either. In fact, the lack of interaction/interiors on MB in general kind of sucks.

so here's a dumb question... I know that people who have the game haven't been able to import their GZ saves yet, because servers, right?

But how does the import work. Does it import your best run, or your latest run, or the best combination of individual objectives that you have achieved?

There is an option in the GZ menu that says something like upload save data.
There is another option in TPP that says something like download save data.

Yeah I was just curious if like, it had been announced somewhere. I only got in this thread 2 days ago when I started playing GZ again and impulse bought TPP.

I am officially hooked and this is going to eat my life.

The way that guys who you have shot a fatal amount of times but not in the head wriggle around on the ground for awhile is really unsettling. Fortunately, it only takes 3 kicks to kill them in this state.

My next goal is to kill literally every guard and still get an S. gently caress those guys. Also traq darts are a premium supply.

What I hate the most is when I miss a shot at a guy going to wake up a guy I already tranqed and I get in a loop where one wakes the other up before I take him out then falls asleep but the one who just woke up wakes him up and this goes back and forth for like 10 seconds while I'm 50m away pumping darts into them like an idiot. It's really funny actually.

Throw them off cliffs and shoot barrels near them. Neither count as kills.

Throwing them into the ocean doesn't count? That's hosed up. Also knowing the barrels thing would have saved me like 3 restarts.

But no actually I would like all the kills to count. I mostly want to see the score screen with ~46 kills on it.

That is not an administrative report I would like to write. "While I was off-duty, asleep in my bunk, the personnel of the entire base fell into the ocean somehow. I am still looking into how this happened, but it is slow going because there is no one else here. Please send help"

Ultima Ratio Regum
POW rescues can wipe the point penalty for kills, so it's possible if you're quick. To ensure you're fast enough have Reflex on and run around the map deliberately triggering it and then headshotting as many guys as are in sight during the slowdown. It's simpler, easier, and the game clock slows down while Reflex Mode is active, so you end up accomplishing a lot more in less game time. This is how some of the Neutralization trials are down to like 3 minutes on Ground Zeroes, they plan a route that lets them spend half the time in Reflex.

Moribund guys can act as a reasonably lenghty distraction, making other non-alert soldiers come and comfort them during their final moments :eng101:

I still say these are just Big Boss's own rationalizations for his war crimes. It's telling that you don't even get penalized for killing in The Phantom Pain now- dude just stopped giving any fucks.

It'll be nice to be able to send some of those guys back to Mother Base. Always feels lovely being forced to let someone bleed out.

Conversely, I hope there is a way to send guards straight to Ocelot's House of Horrors. Some of those assholes just deserve it.

Big Boss knows if you are sleeping, he knows if you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake...

https://youtu.be/3iwuKbNSHq4

I'm rewatching demos and trailers (like everyone else who doesn't have the game yet), and the infiltration in the Gamescom 2014 demo is so drat slick. That's the one with the horse poop trap and the nighttime infiltration. Jackie Tan has a great way of playing cinematically, and I love the music that plays once the Spetznaz helicopter shows up. I don't think Ground Zeroes' soundtrack was ever released so hopefully we get one huge official soundtrack for both games, though I'm not holding my breath because Konami.

I keep forgetting about features like the cardboard box distractions. Considering all the possible combinations of time of day, weather, the different modes like Perfect Stealth or OSP, buddies, your infiltration point, Support team, and your loadout of weapons and items, you could probably play one mission two dozen different ways and it wouldn't get old. C'mon, Monday! :f5:

It sounds like it's part of the original score. I don't think there's a track list yet for that, so afaik no name.
