I don't have a capture of that mod's intended effects, but I did save a video of how it inadvertently replaced the wild dogs' sound effects :ohdear:

I’ve been replaying the poo poo out of MGSV for the last month and a half or so, basically just replaying missions and trying to collect all the S-ranks and side objectives. I want to keep going, but admittedly the gameplay loop is starting to feel a tad stale. I saw someone on Reddit mention the power you can get from the Infinite Heaven mod, and I kind of want to use it to introduce a greater challenge, but I’m worried how it may affect my completion percentage and achievements. I’m at ~88% completion now… would it be better to slog through the last bit on vanilla before potentially loving up my game, or is the mod pretty safe and compatible?

By the way, everyone should look up the D-Miller mod on YouTube just for the pure, hilarious absurdity of the Miller Dog model.

I was seeing discussion based around this example from the guide, which is kind of cagey about durations:



I couldn't find my own copy of the book to confirm what all's in it. Unfortunately, it's been long enough since I played the game that I can't remember the specifics in practice either.



Colonel, don't you think it's stupid that all of this information is only explained in a collectors' edition book that retailed for over 70 dollars?

Raiden if you're too poor to buy The Book... you're of no use to us, how can you ever be expected to purchase schlattcoins to defend your e-base on the interskates? This is the will of the Patriots

So I mean I guess that says they will eventually go from combat to search mode (which is definitely true, there's the "he's gone, starting our sweep" thing) and then eventually they will stand down to alert status. I know what I remember though (setting off a radio alert definitely leads to every base in the region being permanently red) so maybe there is a "floor" where after a full combat alert they never come fully back off alert because they know you're there. I don't see a full flowchart of all the states.

the guide does helpfully explain all the best ways to ogle quiet tho (and several more in the "easter eggs" section!)

I loved Uncut Gems and Reign Over Me, and the other movies not so much (I don't remember anything about Punch Drunk Love).

Apparently, he makes dumb comedy movies as an excuse to go on vacation and get paid to goof around with his friends, and people keep watching them. I respect the hustle.

Sandler and the Safdies are already brewing something up. Sandler got a 300 page script from them about baseball card collecting. Bound for Netflix once it's done unfortunately, hopefully they actually release the drat thing in theatres.

I don't think there's an official in-universe explanation. We do know Yoji Shinkawa designed REX.

My personal theory is that they wanted something that fits with the bipedal tank concept so they looked at dinosaurs for inspiration.

Otacon explicitly got into mech design to make robots like the ones in his Japanese Animes.

I really love that Otacon is so smartdumb he didn't realize Rex was an offensive weapon while making it.

"Okay, time to finally atone for my family's nuclear history by building a roaring mech that launches undetectable nuclear missiles..."

edit to be fair I just remembered he didn't design the railgun bit

The Patriots put the "roar" button there, obviously. Wait, are they the ones responsible for REX, or was it built as one of Solidus's bargaining chips against them?

Whichever, it was one of those guys.

I just want to say that I greatly appreciate Christopher Randolph voicing Huey in MGS5.

Also, in my mind, the reason venom sounds different is obvious, and Ishmael sounding the same is because of venom's mind being all hosed up. :colbert:

Him sounding like that in ground zeroes kinda ruins that idea but funnily enough would actually make more sense if they kept their original idea to have it as a flashback on the chopper ride back from rescuing Kaz.

It would have been good if they got Hayter to voice BB in Ground Zeroes but I suppose it would have made the twist even more obvious.

I suppose.

I like Sutherland, he's a good actor, there's nothing wrong with his voice in and of itself, but there's no campiness whatsoever.

Same with Ocelot in 5, but I guess that's just a problem with the game itself.

Oh there's some campiness in there but you need to get to the part where Kaz and Code Talker start debating the ideal American hamburger.

If REX has a roar button does that mean the Gecko’s AI has a fart function?

I’d have more of an opinion on Sutherland if he ever actually loving talked in MGS5.

I don't mind Sutherland for the most part, he's mostly just low-key. But sometimes he's just weirdly off in delivery - that moment when you rescue Kaz and he asks you to say the line, Kiefer does the most bizarrely flat "Kept you waiting. Huh." like it's the first time he's read a sentence. I know for a fact that they had better takes, because he says it elsewhere in the game with at least a slight attempt to inflect it like he's a real person.

It felt like "keptyouwaitinghuh" just all put together, not even a rhetorical question. Ah well, it's not a huge deal breaker for me in any sense.

I'm looking forward to that one, running around being chased by a giant angry dinobot is wild as hell. And doubly weird that it just pops up at the end of one of the game's longer missions, which is already disguised as a simple side-op.

I think it was some secret plan by Solidus. But Ocelot was there so I guess it wasn't so secret. Als Ocelot also leaked all the info on REX to the Net... Yeah, you were right with the "who loving knows."

So, like.... Are foxhound named the way they are specifically because of the naming convention set up on mother base in 5?

Also, I wonder if there is some sort of block on the names of soldiers in 5 not being randomly matched up to be the same as the members of foxhound.

Actually, are the words psycho, sniper, vulcan, and decoy even in 5? And did they include mantis, wolf, raven, and octopus as animals in the list? I haven't thought to look so far.
