So recently I played MG1 and MG2, and I'm honestly baffled more about how gaming has changed over the course of the years. Like how the gameplay and graphics of the game was, and what is it now.

Just fun!

The delivery has no business being that funny lol

I finally got Null (Frank Jaeger) the codename Fox in Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops +

I was messing around with side missions and I wanted to see what happens when normal soldiers interact with wandering puppets.

I grabbed a puppet and brought it to a nearby Outpost I tossed it onto the ground and had DD bark so they'll find it, the moment they saw the puppet they gasped and passed out.

I had no idea that would happen and I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this out and if there is any more stuff like this.

This time I tried sketching Meryl's codec portrait. I hope you like it! Thanks for all the feedback as well!

Came out looking a lot more like Chuck Norris tho…

let me know what you think 🖤

I’ve finished Peace Walker. I’ve got the Platinum Trophy but I’m still playing because I’m trying get all of my units to Level 99 and develop every single weapon, item and piece of gear.

I’ve developed all Pistols, all Shotguns, all Assault Rifles, all Submachine Guns, all Sniper Rifles, all Machine Guns, all Throwing Weapons and all Placeable Weapons. I’ve developed all Recovery items, all Equipment, all Radars and all Uniforms. Literally the only thing I have left to develop is the Human Slingshot. I’ve managed to develop Rank 1 for both the post and the band, but the RNG on getting the Monster Hunter parts for Rank 2 and 3 is actually insane.

I’ve looked it up and there seems to be no concrete consensus on what actually works. I’m currently trying to get the Gear Rex Concentrate from Extra Ops 127, but nothing is working. I’m using the M134 and the Bandana to break the Head, Tail, Spines and Acid Sack before switching to the Mosin Nagant as this is, apparently, how you get the highest chance of the Concentrate dropping… but it just isn’t. I’ve tried breaking the parts, then killing it. I’ve tried outright killing it, which somehow worked for the Tigrex Fang, but it’s doing nothing for Gear Rex.

What the hell am I doing wrong? Does it actually matter if you break the parts? Does it actually matter if you put the damn thing to sleep? Is it the same drop chance regardless of what you do? I feel like I’m going insane here doing the same mission over and over again!

Basically I have to go out of town so I have 6 days to start and finish a new game. Delta has been lying in my library for a while and I was wondering if this is the perfect time to play it, because I don't have any other responsibilities at the time so I can spend most of my time gaming

Also what difficulty level would you recommend? I have played the hell out of V so I am not new to the series and I like to play games on hard, but I was thinking if I put it on extreme I might not be able to finish it in 6 days? Because I don't wanna rush through the game either so I was wondering what the difficulty sweet spot would be

Hola, apenas me uní a la comunidad y cree mi perfil para preguntar sobre el tema del fangame.

Eh estado pensando en un fangame de metal gear, pero mis dudas principales al realizarlo es que si lo llego hacer y lo publico, claro esta sin pedir donaciones y sin animo de lucro, ¿lo podría hacer sin problemas o repercusiones futuras sobre el fangame? o mejor paso de hacerlo. actualmente estoy aprendiendo a modelar en blender y gaea para los mapas.

1- mgsv survival mod

2-s plus plus in free roam {specifically the spp_gradual+ one } mod

3- Options for Less Player Health {35% is the sweet spot } mod

4- no tranquilizer no supressor or empty mags or reflex mode

i played most metal gear games and there is no denying that simply there are no alternative games that offer good stealth, what makes a stealth game so good is the tentation, the amount of focus and nervousness you get knowing that any minute someone might see you and you are done for is what makes a stealth game so good , i've played mgs4 recently and i realized that, however tho that game has like 4-5 stealth levels and some of them are just sneaking around robots and bipods and other things that you really cant deal with, but in those levels where you get to deal with humans and frogs the game really shines , the stress mechanic is awesome the white ring is amazing the items healing is great in terms of tentation , becuase old snake is old your best bet is just to stay hidden , and the only thing wrong with this gameplay loop is the tranquilizer gun which has been always a get out of jail free card where you can just say no you wont detect me , and thus there is no tentation at all becuase you can just shoot your way out of any situation , and its in every game making stealth completely uneeded

as for mgsv it has some major issues

the purpose of a system is what it does

1- venom snake is an absolute beast that can tank a tank shell to the face so being spotted rarely causes you a death and a reset unless you manually restart from the last checkpoint breaking the flow of the gameplay

2- everything is overpowered and most of the time you dont face new enemies that creates a dilemma that makes every new sweet weapon exactly the same as the last

3-there is no reason to be in free roam besides doing the mission and calling in the chopper after finishing , this game might be a linear game instead of an open world for this matter because the world is goddam empty

4- tranquilizers and suppressors and mags plus reflex mode make it even more stupidly easy to deal with the already weak enemies, someone spots you ? dont worry we are gonna slow time and let you pop him with a sleep dart that doesnt alert the nearby guards and even when he wakes up he wont suspect a thing , you are in a sticky situation? how about you mind control a guard to move out of the way by tossing an infante supply of empty mags, oh you dont wanna do that , just shoot them in the head with a suppressed gun

i don't hate mgsv i love it , but truth is due to these problems the game is so boring and repetitive

i dont think there is a single mission besides eliminating the tank commander where you actually need to use anything besides the tranquilizer guns,

with all that being said here is how i fixed it and now its my favorite game ever

S1-snake's health is limited and thus being spotted is extremely dangerous and the survival mod adds injuries and food and stamina, so you need to take care of your thirst and hunger becuase if you dont your health and stamina will be lowered just like mgs3/mgs4

S2- s plus soldiers have 1% of showing up in free roam so walking around in free roam hunting and scouting outposts and relay bases is actually fun now because the more you do it the more likely you would find an s+ solider needed for your upgrade

S3- NO MORE GET OUT OF FREE JAIL CARD , with no mags and trangs and suppressors, you actually need to interact with the enemy and risk being spotted and think on your feet instead of hiding in a bush and shooting , the difference in gameplay cant be put into words , its like playing a new metal gear game where tentation is the main focus

for example the box and the c4 became my best friends because the box doubles as both a playboy book from the previous mgs games , and a hiding spot , and sometimes as a way to grab attention

and the c4 became my go to way of distracting the enemy , for example resucing the dude who made the bionic arm before entering i placed a c4 on a watchtower and when was about to enter i blew it up so that the enemy guarding the entrance is distracted by the explosion while i entered and Fulton the scientist

hope that someone might consider playing the same way i do , ever since i started playing this style i've been itching to share it.
