Metal Gear Scanlon: V - Part 03

I can listen to podcasts because i don't mind missing stuff, but when it comes to plot i want to hear everything lol. I like it being optional, but i personally enjoyed codecs much better as it was more interesting while seeing facial expressions etc.

@oursin_360: Honestly I can't think of more than maybe once or twice in the entire series when seeing anyone during a Codec call mattered to me but to each their own.

This was a huge improvement.

Truth or Consequences N.M. is a cool movie Kiefer Sutherland directed and was in. It's like Dumb & Dumber crossed with Reservoir Dogs.

Agreed. Have to take time to look in the national mirror.

For the purposes of their discussion, I think they just meant it was good for fiction. Rocky IV, The Hunt for Red October.. etc.

Drew "should I use camo?" Dan "nah you don't need it" Me "goddamit dan!"

Kiefer Sutherland - Dark City

Another camo advocate piping in here with some tips for @drewbert & @danryckert on stealthin' and sleuthin' in 2015's Mega Guard Sneakum V:

• Ditch the sneaking suits. The minor benefit they provide (quieter footsteps) will literally never help Drew if he is being seen before he can even get near the enemies. Use the camo index in your head to decide which camo is best for the environment you're in.
• You can crouch walk at full speed up to about 6-8 metres near an unaware enemy. Once you get to that range you need to slow it down in order to get close enough to make your next move.
• Doing anything on your belly is dead silent, including the dive. This means you can crawl at full speed right up to an enemy's ankles and they won't notice you.
• Sneaking at night is almost like easy mode and will stop enemies from noticing you from ~60m away when you're crouched. At night you can crawl about 15m in front of an enemy that is facing you providing you are wearing the right camo. Crawling at night is like super easy mode+ extreme edition dash ver. for matching service and it will make you feel like a proper spy!

Good luck with the series, guys! I can't wait for Drew to unlock some of the more fun items and experiment some more. The game really lets you go nuts with the options you have and it's a ton of fun.

Disagree entirely on this. It's the only suit you need. Can crouch at full speed, and don't have to fuss with other camo. Should also be doing all missions at night anyways. There's no reason not to.

@cannongoose: He should keep camo suits on the table as an option if he's caught a lot, but the sneaking suits are perfectly acceptable if you're good about hiding when guards turn suspicious. I started with camos and scarf, but ended up in a sneaking suit game cause I thought it looked cooler with Snake's beat up appearance in this game.

Re: Movie talk. Kiefer Sutherland was in Young Guns, two movies that were pretty badass for their time.

As someone who played through the game stealthy and non-lethal almost exclusively (I've indulged in the ol' ultraviolence much more post-completion), I'm pretty confident saying that you really don't.

There are plenty of reasons, it's more challenging, the game looks better in the day 90% of the time, and doing them Asap makes the missions feel way less monotonous as you get different guard counts/locations/equipment/weather etc. I played the first 20 or so hours night only until i got bored and found that using camo was super effective at day and night. I'm not going to tell anybody how to play the game, but for me it made the game way more interesting. Also at a point the night loses 90% of it's effectiveness when everyone has night vision. Camo just had way more benefit than the sneaking suit, you can always get reflex mode to choke them out anyway.

I would just suggest, try it out for a while and see how different the game feels than doing doing missions at night over and over with the sneaking suit. Camo = Dope and all you need is Desert/Forest/ and possibly Rain/water camo.

If Drew is going to listen to Tapes while doing Side Ops,beware,this game doesn't know when to shut up.There were times when I was listening to Tapes and the iDroid would start talking over it and Miller would start talking over the iDroid,talking over the Tapes.I don't need to know what the clouds are doing lady!!!And I don't need you commenting on every guy I Fulton Miller!!!

Agreed. "You're going to extract HIM?" Yes, Miller! He's a freaking A+! Of course I'm going to extract him!

I was really hoping they'd be releasing these on a regular schedule of 3 a week. I find myself checking the site every day to see if the next one is out yet.

I'll point out just in case it hasn't been that it's safe to "return to ACC" at literally any point while in free roam regardless of anything you've done since a checkpoint. The moment you do any pending fultons will be auto-recieved the moment you hit the button.

The lack of frequent checkpoints is one of the more frustrating things about V.

Dan for the love of all that is good, just let drew play the game! You don't need to tell him every little thing!

Dan is teaching him bad technique. The throw is the weakest. Meaning they wake the fastest from it.

Throw, choke out, punch combo. Weakest to strongest.

Dan is being roped in to the best rivalry in CBSi; Rorie vs Vending Machine.

@mistersims: I found out the fulton container to ACC from watching the E3 gameplay videos.

@petethepanda: what has V come to

Tip- If you want to be stealth in the daytime use camo. The sneaking suit can be spotted from up to 70 meters away whereas you can crawl right up to guards if you have the right camo pattern

ARMY GUY SCHOOL

Oh man, that 36 chamber joke took a second. Good one Dan

That was the dumbest "I want to buy a horse" conversation I've ever heard, and I've heard plenty. (Not really, but still.)

We really need:

How Do I Gun?: The Drew Scanlon Story

On a poster of some sort.

Ok, I tried. I've been playing this and thought it would be cool to watch some of this as supplemental experience. Watching someone play with unnecessary constant 'help'/suggestions from two other people is kind of annoying(to me). I mean, they've done this so many times now, so that's how Drew must like it...but it would take some of the fun out for me.

I was sneaking into an outpost and got the attention of 2 guards who came looking for me. They ran into a bear instead and got ate.

The sneaking outfit is not very suitable for daylight. Too bad Dan is too stupid too realize that, and thereby drags Drew into high alert-o-mania....

Well, sledding into a bear is certainly one thing that happened. I personally listen to the tapes when in the helicopter otherwise I couldn't concentrate at all on what I'm doing.

Metal Gear Scanlon V - Part 04

If I had a nickel every time I saw someone slide down a hill in box into a bear...well, I'd have a nickel.

This is 7 years late, but, for Arnold Schwarzenegger Fulton lines:
