Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Play MGS 2 and find out.

Basically, one of the Mission Control characters is revealed to be an AI, and, due to the protagonists' actions, begins to make a bunch of really weird (and more importantly, memetic) codec calls. Among them is said character listing off a bunch of Japanese train stations, the same list you heard in that voice clip. Whenever you see the word "scissors" accompanied by the number "61," it's a reference to the same situation.

Read the earlier posts, Imca. Basically, Unnoun was just joking around; the real boss was never an AI.

Big Boss wasn't.

But we are.

We are?

We are.

Garcon, something happened to me last Thursday when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go — I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky, to the east! It was moving very irregularly... Suddenly, there was intense light all around me — and when I came to, I was home. What do you think happened to me...?

I think, you should do some check up. Get brain MRI or something.

Actually, I am in really bad shape financially. I pay money to my ex-wife as part of our divorce settlement, among other bills... I just had no choice but to make you pay for lunch the other day. I'm really sorry.

I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock.

According to the MGS Reddit page and their /Never Be Game Over/ subreddit, we might have finally hit the Nuclear Proliferation phase in the FOB metagame. What that means is the community has built a sufficient amount of nukes, and if people wish to see the Nuclear Disarmament cutscene the amount available on that particular console's server will need to reach zero. Not as easy as it sounds, since some folks either don't know about the event conditions, don't care, or think it's a hoax from the Metal Gear Philanthropy group.

Unless you're on the PC; they're more or less screwed due to all the hackers and fake nukes floating around.

You can see the discussion here for the /Never Be Game Over/ forum. The post from the Official site for MGSV which got this started can be found here.

I'm not opposed to really high development and deployment requirements for super high tier gear but like, why is the western sleep grenade launcher like ten times more expensive to make and deploy than the Soviet one? They're basically the same.

And why is the tier seven Soviet semi auto sniper need tons upon tons of materials to use when it's actually worse than the western one?

It just doesn't make sense.

Only reason I can think of is that there's some hidden stat or attribute that isn't immediately noticeable from the initial information given.

• Play Station 4 2761 nukes
• Play Station 3 1685 nukes
• Xbox One 525 nukes
• Xbox 360 1011 nukes
• PC(Steam) 36552 nukes

Those PC numbers really scream "hacker" to me, but maybe there's hope for the Xbox One version in Japan.

So you guys know how The Final Countdown is from 1986?

Dude. Friday I'm in Love is from 1992.

I was thinking about The Final Countdown being anachronistic, as mentioned in this thread, but I remembered that I first heard Friday I'm In Love while playing Singstar 90's. So I looked it up, and hey - 1992.

I guess Kojima just really likes the song? Or there's a whole other plot in the Metal Gear universe about The Cure making music 8 years ahead of its time.

Actualy, the Xbox families numbers are the highest.

You must consider how few of them actually SELL.

You could literally not give the 360s away, and after the disaster of the pre-release for the Xbone I don't think its numbers would be much better.

Also AFIAK, the PC version shares world wide servers, hence its numbers.

You can hack GMP, resources not so much.

That's enlightening.

You can hack resources in MGSV, they're stored, and changed, by 2x the value that is actually displayed ( and that would be stuff like metal/gold/etc and plants ). It wouldn't shock me if nukes are similar.

And in case you're wondering, I play offline only - I'm not about to ruin a legit player's game experience.

I'm pretty sure you can mess with resources with save editors.

So THAT would be why I could never find them, thank you.

(I also hate online and just want the teir 8 gear for derping around afganistan)

Not worth it. The Tier 8 stuff is RIDICULOUSLY expensive. There's almost no way you'll be able to make the deployment costs worth taking on freeroam missions, especially if it's gonna cost you precious minerals or plants. The later extreme/subsistence/total stealth missions, maybe, due to their high payouts, but you'll probably be sacrificing your S rank as a result.

You did see what we were discussing right?

Uhhhh, deployment costs kinda wont mater. >.>

Besides you can just take and go into the gun edditor to slap late game parts on an early game gun, and get a good chunk of the benifits without the cost.

I'm still shelling out an awful lot of tarragon for a silencer though.

I hope the numbers fall in December with the patch, it's just ridiculous.

heh like konami will do that

Konami just can't help but act like a complete and utter asshole towards Kojima. They just banned the guy from speaking and accepting an award at the TGA show the same day he was supposed to speak! Kiefer Sutherland had to accept it on his behalf.

Oh, and both Troy Baker and Stephanie Joosten were also in attendance.◊

I seriously have to wonder what exactly Konami is trying to achieve here. They do understand that having nothing but bad publicity isn't good for your company, even if it intends to switch to mainly mobile gaming and pachinko machines right?

And heck, I can understand wanting to reprimand Kojima for going way over budget and behind schedule with the game, but this is taking things way too far. Are they seriously so intent on wanting the brand name associated with the game over Kojima that they refuse to allow him to accept the award, since that would be giving credit to him? He's already credited in the fricken game itself! It's a wee bit too late to try and remove his image from it at this point.
