  1. I had one mission bug out on me. The guy that I was pose to follow started to go around in circles after I triggered caution with some missing prisoners and power outage. In a desperate attempt to get the mission going again, I interrogated and fulton him out. That didn't help that I found the key prisoner dead in the room the guy came from! Oh well since I nearly S ranked the mission in my retry. I just got caught coming out a building with the first guy I mentioned. As for what I think of the game as a whole (without finishing the game): Mother Base is the problem. It's the damn reason why I'm at 45 hours of gameplay. I'm babying it by gathering resources for it so I can get better gear and performance. If I don't baby it, I'll easily go into the red with GMP deficit that can lead to people jumping ship from Mother Base that in turn lead to poorer performance. This babying is seriously diluting whatever story the game has. For the game's sake, I should just focus on the story missions. If this was like the previously MGS games, I would have gotten hit by the Skulls, Quiet and episode 12 chase in like a 2-3 hour block or less. It totally would also make up for the (maybe? I need to play more story missions) lack of memorable antagonists. We really only got the mysterious XOF and Cipher. We basically got no members (besides Quiet) of the those groups to deal with us. Eh... I didn't expect this... Enough bitching though because the gameplay for sure deserve all the praise it gets.

  3. For those who are playing TPP on PC: has the iDroid been slow to load? A good deal of the time it takes 20 seconds to load a menu.

      Seems it's an online issue rather than platform. Rich Stanton been complaining about it not long ago on Twitter for PS4.

      Yep. Sometimes quitting out of the iDroid and bringing it up again fixes it.

      If you're playing online it'll do that, disconnect and it'll load without issues.

  4. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm enjoying my time. So far everything is running butter smooth. There's really only a few moments of texture pop-ins (at extreme distances), teleporting horse and the extraction balloon acting funny when it goes up (it goes up then hangs until it just blinks out of existence). I guess I can chalk it up for all of this being a whole VR thing thus glitches in the Matrix...

    Steam

    Today I learned of switching download servers. The Los Angeles' servers were being hammered but a quick switch to San Diego's servers has me going from 80-60 mins download time to about 20 mins.
  6. It's time.

  7. Halo 5 opening cinematic. Well done but a majority of shit shown is not possible in game... I think? Maybe our Chief is outdated...
  8. Early release is just silly. At the very least, have it release early (if it unlocks) for all so that people don't feel left out and dodging spoilers. Publishers get their money and no consumers aren't left out to dry. Having the early release behind the pre-order is just as, if not more, shitty as stores breaking street dates since it's the publisher doing it. Dodging spoilers for MGSV has been very fun, it would've been more fun if it was sanctioned by the publishers. I guess what I'm saying is that don't try to divide your consumers. Power-up packs (MP only, SP ones are just fucking with the balance) and exclusive missions are irksome enough in that regard. Don't have to make it more gross.
  9. *to burn down While it is a serious mistake but mistakes like that can happen to the best of us. I've done the stuff on the stove bit a few times. Luckily it only resulted in ruined leftovers but still, I could've caught the house on the fire too if it was left on over night.
  10. Once we get gay marriage and pot legalization through our national system, it be nice if the nation can focus in on our law enforcement and criminal justice system. I respect the individual officers that I've dealt with in the past, it was very business like, but future encounters are tainted by doubt and fear of the system they represent. I can only imagine how I would feel if I was of a "lesser" minority.

    What stood out to me is how easy it is to do. You just need a brief moment of idiocy to pull it off. Or some punk or kid to just quickly screw it up. I should say that for the Note 4 (I'm using it right now), it is totally possible to insert the pen backwards. Rather easy too. It just won't get stuck or break my phone.

    Recall of Note 5s in 3, 2... And I got to say, the more I think about it the more I'm starting to get a bit peeved on how fast a smartphone's performance degrades. I guess it comes with packing so much tech in such a small device.
  13. I think taking the discussion about the new (and last Kojima MGS trailer) in here might be for the best. Some people may not want to be spoiled and by spoiled, I mean
  14. Source: A fresh one (today!) from the source: Doo is a gift from above for sure. His stuff always entertains.
  15. Surprising no one, MGSV: TPP is smashing its reviews. My body and PC is ready.

  16. The deed is done.

      Mal just lost his v-card.

      That property needed a good owner.

  17. Then there is that super secret hard level. Sadist level of difficulty.
  18. I'd like a Surface Pro 3 to replace my T100 which is essentially a budget Surface Pro whatever. Anyhow, I cut the cord a year ago and I finally decided to make my TV have some use without being connected to my PC or PS3 so that I can just run my TV if I ever want to watch stuff. My TV and PC together can defeat the AC. So enter the Roku 2. Speed for me is king so the Roku won out since I think it is faster than Chromecast and Fire TV. At the very least, I can wire it up for max speed. Additionally: - I can put in a micro SD card in it to play my video files... I think? If so, it is a major plus. - I might be able to borrow my parent's or brother's cable TV service for expanded content... that or I get Sling TV if I want to dish out $20+ a month. I hope this works as I intent it to.
  19. Chromecast, Amazon TV Stick or Roku?

      I've got an HTPC with Kodi on it (built it before all this media stick business), and it's quite nice.

      ^Technology has advanced to the point where I didn't need a HTPC. It's pretty sweet.

      I'd get a Chromecast. I still haven't found anything it can't do that I needed it to.

  20. Oh hey... I kind of recovered financially from Vegas. Blips and Chitzs time!

    Well, you don't have to die to have your and your love ones lives to be royally fucked up. The injuries are going to be bad, maybe to the point that I would pity that they survived. Like come on, look at how close some of those high rises are to the explosions. The first explosion would shatter most if not all the windows. Not too sure how and if I want to know what can happen during the second explosion.
  22. Washer and dryer in the garage maater race! Though I totally would air dry my stuff if I had a big enough of a backyard being in LA and all. I think my roommates feel the same since one mentioned wanting to do that. No waiting for the dryer to get done which is seriously the only reason a queue forms.
