Wait til you reach the end credits and it turns out this was a long con and there's a post-game phone call where the main character is all "that's right mr kojima, nobody ever knew that you were involved in this game" and then kojima's name pops up right there and it says he was the director.

That'd be amazing

Wait, gotta fix one thing though

Instead of a phone call it's some live-action footage of Norman Reedus dressed as Ocelot standing before a big table. "The pieces are in place, Mr. Director" he says, and then the big leather chair behind the table starts to rotate...

CARRY FENCES WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO
You can easily manipulate enemies by building a fence. If you can’t manage to separate your enemies and give yourself some breathing room, you’re going to get overwhelmed. Luckily, you have plenty of ways to deal with this problem.

Metal Gear Survive is full of natural choke points. After you run through narrow passageways, you can build a fence behind you. The zombies will attack the fence. While they whale on your creation, you can poke them with spears or shoot them with arrows

Sitting around waiting to hear if the new Stellaris Apocalypse makes the game's middle actually good or not.

I like its early game but when you get into large wars it's just not fun... but then again I was playing around this time last year so who knows what's changed since then.

i thought final fantasy games had precooked characters since when do you get to play dressup with them

not counting that one side game where you play dressup with them

There's an online multiplayer mode that's like monster hunter ultra ultra ultra lite edition and you can make your own toon.

I hope nobody is actually salty about the costume. Like this is Freeman's life now. Like how Captain Falcon only shows up for guest appearances.

It's like being a past-your-prime actor or athlete or wrestler who still gets paid to show up as a guest at conventions year after year. It's a good gig.

Multiplayer is fantastic and you can still find games for the main modes very easily, but there's not much of a goon community left. My experience only comes from the PC version, btw.

You can craft fences in the home base and then carry them with you for deployment on missions. You can also eventually make ramps and stuff to reach blocked off places. You can see me use one in that video but they weren't very relevant to the goal so I didn't use them for much. If you have to defend a position then they are good. If it's a chain link fence then it has holes in it you can shoot through but there's also solid ones etc

As with all stuff (ammo, etc) you have a limit on how many you can carry and you have to bring them with you when you leave the base.
