Jesus. I mean yeah, it's certainly a reason in itself, but it's sketchy stuff. I don't know whether to be impressed at the level of imagination that's gone into ensuring a female character is always skimpily dressed or just disgusted because, well, the level of imagination that's gone into ensuring a female character is always skimpily dressed.

Yeah it meaningfully address every single one of the series' failings up until this point.

There's a lot to love about MGS1-4, but I have always hated the controls and the pacing.

Those about both fixed in MGS5, and it's making all the other stealth and/or open world games seem utterly primitive.

I played Ground Beef or whatever its called, and it was okay. I enjoyed it well enough.

However, the mentalness of the game proper has sold me. Bionic Punches (with Steve Austin Sound Effect) balooning shit out of the combat zone, pink helicopters and all.

So I saw this and thought Kojima knew exactly what he was doing when he designed these virtual tatties despite the bullshit explanation why they're on show. Why not give her smaller tatties? Tiny tatties? No, he went straight for the fatty tatties.

anyone have this on PC? how is it?

I have played all the Playstation games and like to use a pad. I guess I could use a 360 pad on PC (have the set up for that)
OR

do I succomb and get a nextgen (laugh, somewhat) console?

If I did it might have to be Xbox One, and that only runs at 900p which is less than appetising.

One of these days I'm going to meet you in real life and for every time you used the word 'tatties' I'm going to punch you in the face. I don't want to do it, indeed I love you so very much, but I'll be forced to do it on principle alone. So what I'm saying is: PLEASE GOD STOP USING THE WORD TATTIES BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO MURDER YOU BUT YOU'RE KIND OF MAKING ME WANT TO.

Since the console versions are already very solid and target (and mostly achieve) 60FPS you don't get any ZOMG AMAZEBALLS uplifts on PC, but there are a fair few boosts to visual fidelity, with the option to move past 1080p to 1440p or 4K, if your PC is up to it.

(1080p at console-parity settings appears to be achievable with a dual-core i3 and 750Ti, which is budget hardware territory.)

There are some screenshots on that Eurogamer piece that show the differences, and TBH I'd have a hard time spotting them without reading the accompanying text telling me what I was looking for.

The main win for me would be keyboard + mouse controls because I'm well cack-handed with a pad when it comes to this sort of game.

£46 on Steam at the moment! I'll wait for a sale.

Yeah, I managed to do a lot better on Ground Zeroes with mouse aiming. S rank is a doddle when you can pop of tranq headshots with ease, even at distance.

Love is doing a mission, busting into the room where the targets are having a meeting, reflex-headshotting all of them with the tranq pistol, then systematically knocking out the entire village of soldiers and fultoning the whole lot back to base.

Post subject:  Re: Metal Gear Solid 5

If, like me, you didn't know what the fuck actually went on with Hideo and Konami, someone has helpfully done an ELI5
Quote:
He had a serious "falling out" with them. Konami has basically gotten rid of its AAA development studio to focus on mobile games. MGS5 was more or less the last AAA game the company was working on. It appears to have gone over schedule, and rather than give Kojima the extra year he needed to finish it they just pushed it out. The result was that the last 1/3 of the game is just outright missing and the game ends without a single plot having been fully resolved.
Kojima's response to this was to sneak some stuff onto the collectors edition DVD that basically contains all the half finished cut scenes from the final area while making it abundantly clear that the game was released 2/3 finished against his wishes.
Doing that probably pissed Konami off, so they are using the fact that he is still technically on a long term employment contract with them to prevent him from going to the awards ceremony. How they are doing this depends on how his contract with them is worded (which no one other than Kojima and Konami are going to know). But for example, its possible the contract grants Komani final approval on all marketing, and they are claiming that attending the awards ceremony constitutes "marketing" for the game.
Ultimately though it doesn't matter exactly what provision of the contract it is that they are using to prevent him from attending, at the end of the day he is on a long term employment contract with them and something in there allows them to stop him from attending. If he does attend he'll have breached his contract, which would almost certainly subject him to pretty severe monetary penalties.

Their treatment of Kojima is obviously the most high profile example of their internal vindictiveness but, just in case people weren't aware, really it's their (alleged) outright fucking bizarre management of ordinary staff that's breath-takingly fucked up:
