Guys the THIRD FOB EVENT for MGSV is live!
Are you playing?Does anyone care anymore?Do you even have the game installed?
Not going to lie, as an MG fanboy I had uninstalled the game in less than a month and haven't gone back.
The fuck is an FOB event? Am I able to access the last 2 if I were to go back?
>>319465870
Read the description
Basically FOB where you infiltrate a non human, get a bunch of S/S++ ranks if youre successful, if you're unsuccessful you don't even get a slap on the wrist
Essentially
>please keep playing this game and buy more FOB's with real money, see we give you free soldiers and resources!
They're only 2 week long "events"
>>319466351
So just more meta nonsense? Yeah, that will totally win back people who stopped caring. .
>>319465240
>tfw watching the trailers again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-c1a5c55-8
It fucking hurts man
I was on my way out when the first FOB event was starting. I got 100% completion, the extortion DLC was rolling out and MGO was confirmed shit. Glad I was done before I would have had to put up with that shit.
>>319465240
I finished the game and never bothered with FOBs. Did I miss anything?
>>319466836
>gotten bored with FOB shit by the 10th invasion
>first even announced
>Holy shit this might be cool! I wonder what it can be, how the FOB will be designed, and how cool it will looks and there has to be a "boss" at the end of it, right?
>it's just a normal ex-modo FOB invasion against a bot
I uninstalled shortly after
The laziness is fucking ridiculous
Nobody gives a shit about the FOB system and the stats on nukes owned proves it.
>>319465240
>Do you even have the game installed?
No, fuck that game.
>Reward contents:
>literally nothing
>there are people still playing MGSV
>there are people still doing FoB
Why?
>>319467470
>Event period:
>months after everybody has stopped playing
>>319467470
welcome to FOB's
i don't know why anyone would bother with that shit after a couple of games
Its high risk - low reward
real fun stuff doing the same thing over and over for almost no reward
>>319467597
That's a pretty damn spot on image of what i'd imagine someone whose been doing FOB since launch would look like now.
>>319465240
>been playing and loving MGS since 1998
>the game is uninstalled
>I never even tried to invade anybody's FOB
Wish I cared, OP. I really do. Tell me if Chapter 3 comes out and I'll reinstall.
>>319468206
Chapter 3 is released
Remember the Nuclear Disarmament ending that was found in the game files and put on youtube in the first week of release?
Well you can get that now
Wanna know how?Invade FOB's, disarm enemy nukes, then when the global number hits a low an event starts thats more FOB invasions against bots and you get that cutsceneThat is "Peace"
im still logging in everyday to collect MBcoins so i can spend them in mgo next month
this is the first event that features a complete fob, still no drones or cameras.
>>319468646
Yeah, just don't be on fucking PC because it's unwinnable thanks to hacking lol
>>319465240
>pvp event
>event makes you get less pvp
who cares

Sometimes I get drunk in my room at night, actually I'm doing it right now. When I'm absolutely shitfaced I rewatch the Phantom Pain trailers and reminiscent on the hype and the game that could've been. I stay up in my room shitfaced drunk singing along to Nuclear.
Fuck you Kojima.
>>319468952
only 1.9% of the steam users have built a nuke, if you look at the achievement for it
MGSV was my buyers remorse of 2015. Fuck you /v/, you always hype up the dumbest shit, and I always fall for it, so I suppose I'm just as fucking stupid as you all, if not more.
>>319469201
That's because using the trainer is most likely circumventing the check that would also trigger the achievement.
>>319468736
Nukes have been made server side, hun
I got bored with it when Miller wouldn't stop doing his usual thing and claimed Africa as my brig
>FOBs first announced
>"every fob will be unique, you will know different shortcuts and chokepoints around your base because you designed it!"
>"an infinite number of online levels to infiltrate!"
>holy shit its fucking mgs meets dungeon keeper i cant wait to try this shit
>game comes out
>every fob is the exact same fucking thing that becomes basically impossible later on
This is what killed me.
>>319469693
or they have a way to bypass the limit
>>319469738
Have fun disarming the 8k nukes that are on PC, hun.
>>319469747
Were there even that many people alive in the 80s?
>>319469054
This sounds like a joke. . . but I have done this, anon
Don't care, quit playing this game maybe a week after launch, didn't even beat it, made it half way through and lost interest.
Final nail in the coffin was MGSO being held back for PC till 2016.
The game is already irrelevant, now it's going to be dead and irrelevant.
Fuck these people, fuck MGS.
>>319470032
>Final nail in the coffin was MGSO being held back for PC till 2016.
>The game is already irrelevant, now it's going to be dead and irrelevant.
im afraid this is the opinion of the majority of people, and will cause mgo on pc to only last for a month or 2.
its gonna be even deader since dragons dogma gets released the same month
I sold the game the moment I finished it.
I play MGS for story and fun stealth gameplay.
MGSV ahd neither, and all it does is complicate the story.
As far as I'm concerned the series ended at 4. And what an amazing ending to an amazing series.
>>319469983
>4.2 billion
yeah probably
>>319470263
Census shows around 4-5 billion in the 80s, yeah. That is one hell of a brig, to capture every single man, woman, and child.
>>319469898
Statistically, we're making more progress than any other platform considering where we started at bub
>>319465240
Is MGSV the most hyped game ever that was also dropped the fastest? It further proves the open-world design backfired too.
It's actually kind of sad that barely anyone plays or still talks about it anymore.
>>319468952
Damn the numbers for PC have actually come down by a lot since they first announced it
A part of me is sorta itching to reinstall, build 4 nukes, and fill my security unit with as many S ranks I have as a final "Fuck You" farewell to the garbage game
But then I remembered that logging back in means that all my resources are gone, security team taken, and GMP vanished thanks to always online
I care. I love doing FOB events. This one is more challenging than the last two at least.
>>319470776
You don't get invaded that much. I've only been invaded three times after 3+ months and two of them failed, so I got free shit.
>>319465240
I uninstalled it a month ago and never tried any fob stuff at all
>>319470776
Plus hackers can run like The Flash through your base and steal your nukes inside of 30 seconds. What the fuck happened? This was supposed to be the epic sendoff to a beloved series.
These FoB events are all the same
>you can now invade an NPC FoB with no risk of retaliation
Kojipro could really take a page from rockstar's book on how to do free updates
>>319465240
Platinumed it about a month ago, havent touched it since, blame mgo
So...anyone going to play mgo when it comes to PC? Or will it be dead and those already playing it how is it?
>>319465240
there are S soldiers EVERYWHERE in the world why would I care about getting a few for doing this dumb bullshit?
Why you would make a Metal Gear game, always known for its story, however ridiculous it may or may not be, but take out the fucking story aspect is the real puzzler. Sure the game plays just fine, quite good in fact, but don't fucking call it Metal Gear then, and have all these interesting trailers pre-release. Got my hopes up for nothing, fuck you Konami, and fuck you Kojima.
>>319471480
the reward you with S++ in this event, you get 2 for completing one strut. you get 3 if you complete all of them
>all these PC fags
Good thing you guys aren't the target audience. You're lucky you even got the game.
>>319471673
ebin
>>319471673
How is this even related to the FOB?
>>319471662
but are they doing anything other than push the level of the unit?
First game I've seen be made worse after post release patching
>>319471504
MGS 4 clearly jumped the shark in terms of story. To think the story would be good after that is retarded.
>>319465240
I feel kind of upset that I don't care. I stopped playing the single player campaign about halfway through since all of the major plot points were spoiled for me. The gameplay itself just wasn't compelling enough, even the FOB sections.
I don't really give a crap about getting my espionage score up and the FOB infiltration mechanics get tedious as time goes on. I wish I didn't feel this way but I moved on to other games pretty quickly. Not even sure if I'll bother with the PC multiplayer.
>>319471504
its kind of pathetic people get this sad over videogames
>>319472082
they released some new equipment that requires some high level units to craft.
i think i got 9 spots left in my support unit and i need 5 more levels to craft a LMG, i need a lvl85 support.
>>319465240
Last time I logged into the game the next Fob event was called Skulls Invasion or something.
Are they trolling or something?
Why is there a different Fob Event than the one they announced?
Why did they repeat New World order like 3 times now?
Are they seriously going to do something that isn´t just a premade Fob with different soldier outfits and put Skulls on a Fob or what?
>>319473468
ask yourself "which is the easiest route konami could take"
and konami WILL take that route
skulls2hard
>>319470776
Just try to do it anyway, it´s not like you give a shit if you have anything in your inventory.
I would do it too but I haven´t grinded remotely enough for it. I didn´t even S-Rank all missions because I wanted to clear the side missions and stock up on shit before doing the secondary objectives an shit but fuuuuuccckkk I cant see another helicopter or riot trooper anymore and just close the game immediately after I start it up and see my avatar Big Boss sit in the chopper...
I wish they would let you do all of those tank unit/armored vehicle missions directly one after another on the same map but no, you have to chopper in for each one, maybe two in the same session if you are lucky.
>>319465240
Can you repeat the core invasions for the S ranks?
>>319474436
I can´t even imagine them typing a shitty text like "Skulls have become as much of a legend of the battlefield as Big Boss and a new PMC came up that modeled itself on their tales. Take them out and let them fall into obscurity again"
How will they justify it?
How can they justify it?
Saru is the only thing keeping it alive.
Since there's no mgo yet, I've stopped playing. It's a single player game? What do you expect?
Every invader just takes 30+ people even with level 49 4 plat fobs. I'm done caring until the fob micromanagement update.
Does anyone have that screencap of the guy talking about how his girlfriend found all his Big Boss porn and he was seriously contemplating whether or not he should abandon Big Boss?
Could be fake but it was funny and I was too drunk when I read it I forgot to save it.
>>319472189
You know, I just watched MGS4 on youtube. I always thought you guys were just exaggerating for shitposting and I planned on playing the game for the first time after MGSV but after I heard about yet another MGS4 plot point and were at another point where I realized how few content of MGS is actually good I snapped and just went watching it.
MGS4 isn´t a movie. It´s a documentary or a soap opera. A movie would be exciting and take control away from you for action scenes but Snake gets fucked all the time and nothing happens, just fucks around in the Agents of Shield plane and talks to shitters all day, accomplishing nothing. They can´t even use words like War Economy correctly. It´s pure numbness. How people can compare it to a movie is beyond my understanding of reality. Why couldn´t your shitposting be factually correct?
>>319476138
>approaching MGO release date
>suddenly Konami announces they are cancelling it
>everyone starts mass refunding
>Steam allows it
>yfw
>There will never be an event in which you can opt in to get invaded by rogue SKULL units, watching your soldiers use the turrets and their guns to attempt to take them out with you leading them
>You'll never feel the pain of watching your own men die one by one in futility to the SKULL units and watching them be affected by the parasite
>You'll never feel the pain in your heart of watching "A staff member has died" explode in your screen every few moments
>You'll never feel the mental exhaustion of finally beating them but wondering at what cost upon seeing all your staff units dwindle
>>319477115
> Konami would just spawn the Skulls on the platform and do nothing else
> yfw your soldiers could take them out by themselves if you just stand and watch
>>319477115
>opt in
>with a Infinity Bandanna and a Serval
>lose nobody because all the Skulls are laying on their asses at spawn and i'm playing whack-a-mole as they get up
I kinda want to develop all the guns but the really high level ones seem like they're not really worth it
>>319477115
>entire mother base is covered in emplacements you stole including AA
>aside from a select few mortars you'll never use them because most invaders aren't totally blind
>all these defensive emplacements just sitting there for show
Fucking top kek, I dunno what I expected but I guess it was more then 'nothing at all'
>>319479315
>G44 blueprint never spawned and I can't research any of the other versions
>completed the game and almost every side op
>somehow still missing staff required for 1/3 of the weapons
>there's nothing to use them on anyway aside from FOBs which are tedious shit
fun
>>319479387
I took out most of my defense emplacements considering invaders attack them just so it costs you more GMP in damages.
>>319465240
Did they introduce that patch yet where you can straight get Skulls to defend your FOB?
>>319480127
>Yet
Was this said somewhere or are you talking out your ass
>>319480310
http://www.vg247.com/2015/11/17/upcoming-metal-gear-solid-5-update-includes-raiden-suit-skulls-on-mother-base-more/
Ignore everything about the Skulls though. Turns out there was some kind of error in translation and it was only part of the event.
I'm disappointed too anon.
>>319480564
None of this mattered besides the skulls.
I want a reason to keep playing. A good reason.
>>319481000
mgo3
>>319466493
>not getting just how meta it really is
pleb
>>319481132
Ironic shitpost aside, I tried. Everyone is too damn retarded and it mentally wears me out son
>>319471480
How to get them?
I've read online that they're related to high heroism and Intel Team level, but no reliable source.
>>319482210
That's what I read. My intel level is like 77 and I forget what my heroism level is but it's over 50k and I just find them out in the field
A good way to get a bunch is to do any mission that has Skull Units. Code Talker is a good one. Leave the snipers alive and just run/sneak past them and grab Code Talker. When you do, all the normal soldiers will be puppet soldiers. Easy to take down, find some S-rank ones that aren't boasters, take them down, fulton, finish the mission, rinse and repeat
>>319481132
Did that update hit yet ?
You know, the one that made aiming an LMG not the most absolutely broken thing I've ever seen ? Seriously how did it even get passed play-testing.
>aim LMG over shoulder
>can't hit the center of my crosshair
>spread is insane
>use first person/iron sights
>SWAY SO MUCH SWAY OH GOD
>think you need to crouch or lay down to be stable
>SWAY EVERYWHERE OH FUUUUUUCK
Oh and how about the whole "95% of your time is spent shooting sprinting invisible people"
Moronic choices from an increasingly moronic dev team.
>>319482523
yes, but there's still absolutely no reason not to use an AR. Inivisibitch has been nerfed as well
>>319483165
>Invisibitch has been nerfed
Explain please
>>319479670
The blueprint is in that camp that´s under that hill/small mountain where you needed to extract 4 Walker Gears. In a tent with a chalk board. They patched it together with the MGO launch.
>>319483451
way less health and getting shot makes them visible
>>319483996
D-Does this mean being a sniper and being able to see them is finally viable?
>>319484448
Sniping seems to work much better than it did before, I'm pretty sure you can even mark them now while they're invisible (probably requires a perk or something)
>>319484594
Oh thank god. Sniping was so much fun but it never felt efficient or like I was really helping with anything
>>319483996
>getting shot makes them visible
Thank FUCK for that.
I was so sick of how devoid of logic the camo was. You could turn it on and do whatever the fuck you wanted. Shoot a lethal non-suppressed rifle and then sprint away at a sanic speed. Lasted like 30 seconds and recharged in half that.
>>319483165
I like to try and change it up from the same exact bullshit the entire playerbase is using/has been since the game started.
>>319483942
I can honestly say I do not care about it at all anymore, there's no reason to play MGSV again. I appreciate letting me know though.
>>319468646
>chapter 3 is released
>it's just a cutscene
>somehow that's great
Retard alert.
>>319470006
This picture is so reddit-tier.
Honestly can't wait until a year or two from now when everyone's replaying the MG series and see's that TPP is impossible to slug through completely
I mean I LIKED PW but still skip it because of its grindan gameplay nature. But still might return for the sideops.
I don't think the future looks too bright for the game, it'll only sour from here. I mean the first fucking thing you see when you re-log in from not playing every single day is how fucked in the ass your FOB got
