Ineffiable posted:My personal evidence that I've seen is that the bigger the cargo the more exponential the likes (and therefore the level you) you et is. Yeah I'm trying to do the deliveries in each category and its surprisingly annoying to find 20 different timed deliveries and then for about half I have to fiddle with my zipline network to make S rank. Most of them end up being 1-2 small boxes which gives you nothing basically.

Lost 100 likes, his buddy got terrified and ran off, his cargo fell off, and he laid there with two orange stars above his head with some strands connecting them. I laughed my rear end off then tried to help him but I didn't get any prompts or beration, so I think I'm fine? Vehicle collisions only ever deal KO damage. I know because I got into an altercation involving a speed skeleton and a Mule truck. *coughs* multiple times.

Chapter 8 question: Coming out of Heartman's lab to the Geologist, I came across some red/gold hued BTs. I threw two hemetic grenades and fired 30ish rounds from a non-lethal assault rifle through the clouds and it didn't go down. Luckily the cord cutter worked, but I'm assuming you need to put loads of blood into the level 2 grenades (which you get shortly after) or anti-BT handgun otherwise?

In the past day I've single handedly built a few sections of road, and I noticed that the more I do that the more materials are appearing in the ones I have to do left so it would appear that karma is enforced in that system

Just made it to what I assume is the end of Chapter 8. Man, this game is uneven. The second war veteran encounter wasn't exactly interesting, the mountains were a chore and it all has me hoping Kojima goes ahead and Kojimas out from here, makes the majority of the last few chapters cinematics.

The vehicle physics on rocky and uneven surfaces are wonky af. Boost jump boost jump will get you up some rough places if you have the patience. I think it was outside the weather station I basically jumped my way across the jagged rocks on a trike.

Pulled an all-nighter to finish the game and it was definitely worth it. Now to re-watch Tim Roger's review and look into all the bands that had songs in the game. I really digged the music.

Does anyone know what the deal is with Collector rep? I need his sweet sweet equips, but the game has arbitrarily decided that I don’t get any more connection rating at just under 2 stars. Will the rep turn ins I made ever count? will he unlock at a later part of the story or what? This sucks.

I think I finished the game? I’m sure there’s hours more cutscenes to go Story is weird and interesting but Kojima needs to hire a screenwriter or editor to make the presentation better. The dialogue is terrible. The info dumps are terrible. The high point of the game is walking through a blizzard in the mountains, not being able to see farther than 50 feet and stressing about the viability of every path

So how much is it gonna cost to get a glove with a speaker that recognizes when I give a thumbs up so it can play a low-quality "LIKE!" sound effect. Bonus points if it has a light-up thumbs-up icon.

You can kill a mule by running them over enough times. Yeah they get KO'd when you hit them the first time but leaving them on the road as a speed bump results in a horrible slog to the incinerator.

I like his dialogue, and the info dumps since MGS have always just worked for me. Who knows why, exposition can put me to sleep in some things, but something about the wonder and offbeat creativity of how he does it works for me. That said, I'm still in chapter 5! I love me some Hideo and co. storytelling, but I am also addicted to delivering. I just got that achievement for delivering 700 cargo, apparently only 4% of players in the US region or whatever have done that. Just fun to get around in this game, really addictive for me. Only 0.1% of players have gotten max connection at all facilities, which makes sense. That sounds like it could take nearly 200 hours, and its been a week. I've only gotten four or five stickers myself. I'm about to go do a story thing now, oh yes.

Steve Yun posted:The mountains are the best part of the game. I disagree so hard. Some parts of it are amazing like the Heartman stuff, but I hated the back and forth nature of dealing with those stupid mountains, made worse by snow being slower. I could not have been more excited to move on from it. It looked gorgeous as hell though. I would live in a Heartman house.

Build a zip line in a region and go back and forth around preppers. Once you max them out repeat elsewhere. If you run out of bandwidth just delete zip lines elsewhere where you’re not currently active

The mountains are a pretty good response to how easy your life is made by all the upgrades immediately before you get there, IMO. and thankfully it puts your back on the trajectory of not giving poo poo pretty quickly, when you get the zip lines set up and AT exoskeleton and thermal pads and all that poo poo

CJacobs posted:The deliveries were to him, though! They're him wanting me to pick stuff up and bring it to him. That's why I ask, is because his rank didn't go up at all after doing three of these. Maybe he's just a tough old guy, I'll try it the other way around. There are several preppers who don't want to join, like the novelist's son, you have to do a delivery and then go read their email in your room, which will update what to do for them next.

Imo the bike should be less versatile. It can go over drat near anything and I find myself using it way too much. Sometimes I’ll get kind of bored and realize that I’m just using the bike too much, and I start having fun walking around again. Don’t get me wrong I like that the bike is good and useful but it shouldn’t be able to drive down literal cliffs the way it does. It just takes too much planning and item management totally out of the equation. Also it looks silly driving at an almost 90 degree angle.

precision posted:Chapter 6 is getting really rough. Is this the hardest the game gets? Depends on your experience really. There are harder and longer walks you'll need to make, but you'll likely have the infrastructure to make it tenable. Honestly I spent most of 6 setting up ziplines so I breezed through the next few chapters.
