Look Sir Droids posted:Is your gameplay looping well? Mine has been. I'm about 4 hours in and it's all good so far. I know some reviews dumped on the game for the world being empty and having nothing to find while exploring but the game is gorgeous. As long as the scenery isn't the exact same three or so biomes we've seen in the trailers, it'll be worth it just for the views.

From what I've heard pretty much the whole game is the same sort of Irish countryside greenery and rocks

I’m not going to play until tomorrow so I’ll likely dip out of the thread after someone replies to this, but there’s one thing I’m not sure has been addressed. With the online aspect, do we know how they’ve ensured the game won’t be entirely trivialized by the stuff other players have left around? Like, if players have built a highway and you come across it your first time through the game, aren’t you kinda missing out on the experience if you can essentially skip the level?

You don’t see player structures the first time you go through an area. You need to go through an area once by yourself and connect it to the chiral network to see them.

I got good news and I got bad news Good news: the levels are so vast that even with ladders and bridges and roads there’s still plenty to traverse, and each server has a population limit so it won’t get too lousy with infrastructure Bad news: reports are that many of the missions are laughably easy with or without help

My personal goal is to put beautiful helpful strongholds at the game's best views. Climb that mountain? Kick off your shoes, sit down, take a breather. You earned it champ.

Random question from someone who hasn't played the game: what's the nature of the relationship between Sam and the tank baby? I remember in some old trailer there was a scene where he woke up, couldn't find the baby, started to panic, then found it and started crying in what appeared to be relief. Does he have a parental instinct to care for the baby or is it more of a self-interested "I am doomed if I lose this thing" situation?

Real world ads is a bit disappointing. It seems really inappropriate and out of place for this game.

Does he have a parental instinct to care for the baby or is it more of a self-interested "I am doomed if I lose this thing" situation? Definitely the latter, since the baby is the only thing that lets you see the floating monsters. But since it's Kojima, it's probably going to be/become the former throughout the game. edit: Since it's Kojima, the idea is for you, the player to develop a parental instinct for the baby in tandem with Sam. I said come in! posted:Real world ads is a bit disappointing. It seems really inappropriate and out of place for this game. Yeah, I liked the fake brands instead. I think I saw some pictures of "timefall beer" which is intriguing because it means 1. there's still enough infrastructure to create a canned beer with branding and 2. people are using the timefall to do creative things. ymgve fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Nov 7, 2019 |

Seems like those weren't a thing Kojima was doing to be funny specifically in the MGS universe, but just a thing he always does.

Any media where a small child is frightened and separated from their parents is hard for me to handle. I cried at the Wikipedia article for Life Is Beautiful.

Remember that bit in MGS3 where Para-Medic basically recites a commercial for Calorie Mate (a real product) over your radio?

So I’m pretty blind on this game but I love me some mgs and Kojima madness. I know there’s some other world dimension poo poo and exploring and some people say it’s boring but if it’s atmospheric I’m all in. That said I’m terrible at open world games and paralyse and think I’m missing out on anything. Anyone got some real early “before I play” style hints that are non spoilery? Or should I probably not worry too much? Can’t loving wait!

The open world really isn't like the open worlds in other games.

In preparation for some gameplay that might be long and tedious I made sure to read every post in this thread, especially the ones about whether gameplay loop is a thing.
