Got legendary mantis blades off some random dude I killed, and they're not even remotely as good as my 2k DPS katana.

I loving love MGS ground zeros. That was the most fun I had with the entire MGS5 idea. When they went to the open world it just really fell flat. MGS5PP is the only mgs game I never beat because it was just so bad. I just couldn't push my way through the level rehashes at the end.


Ah, a Kung Pow fan we have here.

I've never "finished" MGSV because I get stuck trying to do every sideops in the game. I love em. I liked the re-hash missions, but like, not as the filler-campaign. Just sustenance versions or an option on missions, though, that would've been cool. Ground Zeroes was okay, I played through it once before MGSV but, despite being down to do mgsv sideops, which was basically ground zeroeses over and over, I never wanted to re-do Zeroes for the fun stuff. Actually, I think I at least unlocked the ps1 Snake, that ruled, maybe I'd like it more now in general.

You know what, I doubt we will ever get another game like either of them.

Wouldn't be surprised if they were tearing things out desperately trying to get it to work on last-gen until the last moment.

Someone at CDPR was so focused on using the latest, coolest tech that they seem to have forgotten about last gen consoles, which is unfortunate because that's obviously what the majority of the audience would be playing on.

If it was going to be this bad they should have delayed the last-gen versions of the game and released only for PC and next-gen first, then release last-gen in like March or something.

Or at least put a sticker on the box/a disclaimer saying "PS4 Pro/Xbox One X strongly recommended for best experience"

I don't know about MS, but Sony is not going to let them put that sticker as they require devs to make the game run well in base ps4 and not just ps4 pro.

Nah I think they were tearing things out to get the game out the door. There is no way the game was even close to being done by the original April release. Sounds like they had ridiculous scope creep and very poor project management. That 2018 E3 demo was probably mostly things they wanted to have in the game and weren’t even close to being implemented. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was very highly scripted (as a lot of E3 demos are) and there wasn’t much playable even internally outside of that demo.

Been trying to find purple recipes for Power weapons but all I can find are Tech weapons at places like Arasaka tower. Any leads on where to find them generally?

Also, I think I sold the weapon I stole from young arasaka nightstand, guessing I’m hooped on ever being able to do the Purple upgrade version.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance taught me how to be a pro mgs player. That game was the tits, also skateboarding level was cool. MGS3 subsistance was loving tight free multiplayer game on the ps2. Remember when playing online was free for consoles?

From what they discussed on digitalfoundry, it seems to not do well when cpu usage is needed. Both the ps4 and xbone use AMD cpu's, and the pc version you have to run a hex editor to make it fully use an AMD cpu, so maybe they hosed that up in consoles too?

Nah, the Jaguar CPUs in the PS4 / XBO are netbook tier processors that were obsolete before those consoles even released. They had a fun combination of low clock speed and low IPC, but the only other option AMD had at the time were their desktop Bulldozer processors which ran too hot to realistically use in an APU.

As far as the hex edit thing goes, Bulldozer processers did some weird poo poo in the way they presented themselves at the OS level (Windows et al), appearing as 8 core processors when they were really closer to 4 core / 8 thread. Hence programs being compiled to treat those processors as having half as many cores as they showed in order to perform properly. That problem isn't relevant to the processors in either console generation / modern AMD PC processors. Apparently the PC executable was compiled in a way that treated all AMD processors as if they were Bulldozer architecture (I'm a bit hazy on this part) and they weren't making full use of all cores / threads available?

I can't imagine that error was made on consoles, where you know the exact hardware you're compiling for, but who knows.

Well, just beat the game after 70+ hours. In full legendaries, lvl 50 etc.

I liked it a lot, overall. But it was kinda a mean twist that the post-game rewards weren't actually handed out :(. Seems like I didnt get the actual GoG rewards either, so the issue might be linked.

Heh. Finished the Heist mission in Act 1, and at the penultimate fight in the hotel I get locked in the Scanning screen. Can't pick up or interact, can't shoot. Can hack though (but not Breach). So of course you have this fuckoff Giant Robot with a bunch of meatbag backup. I haven't saved since the start of the sequence. "gently caress. I don't want to have to fight my way through all that again..."

Luckily, I had the perk that recovers CPU during combat. And I found that by not looking at anything scannable and jumping time returns to normal for a bit. So I'm basically in scanner bullet time, ducking in to Short Circuit the giant fuckoff robot and burninating the bad guys, then ducking back into cover to start recovering CPU, hoping I don't get hit since I can't use the doc spray. Somehow, I manage to clear the room so I can finally save and reload.


tl;dr: get the combat CPU recovery perk. And save often.


Game is a blast though; CDPR will take a black eye for this but if they put in the same TLC they did for their Witcher games into this it'll be amazing.

I've gotten stuck in scanner mode multiple times. Luckily the game lets you save pretty much whenever, so I just save, and reload and that fixes it. Annoying bug though.
