Is it worth taking down the communication satellite in MGSV, and is there a way to do it quickly ( not using explosives).

Well if I remember correctly you have to take down three satellites in an area for it to do anything.
And from my experience the game is pretty easy to go full combat if you need to so your mileage may vary but you can just shoot everyone.

A lot of fat in that analyses... Like 3 hours of phat. Last 40 minutes were good though

Can't find after TPP
Almost 4 hours. lol
Guess I can't judge it without watching the whole thing though right? No way im wasting 4 hours tho
EDIT: Just watched some of it. Gotta give them credit at the very least to the amount of work and thought put into the video. Some convincing stuff too tbh.

I don't think it has a name or made it to the OST.
It's just called "intro theme" or "elevator theme"

Posting in the main Metal Gear OT...should be the perfect warm up.
None of pre-MGSV posters returned, and they were good. All was left was their username...and disappointment.
Now go! Let the OT come back to life!

I also assumed the Geist was a Glock knockoff.
I had the ultimate slowpoke moment for me today: In MGS3 EVA calls Snake asking if he's ever sniped in a forest environment before. He says no but affirms he has experience in urban and marine environments. It's a meta reference to the player with urban sniping being against sniper wolf in MGS1 when you first get the PSG1 and the marine environment being in MGS2 on the Big Shell guarding EE.

Yea, not just you. I completely missed that reference as well.

Was watching the SuperBunnyHop review of MGS3 and he goes into detail about sneaking track and then credits Harry Gregson Williams with it, but I'm pretty sure Norihiko Hibino is responsible for all the gameplay tracks while HGW did all the cutscene tracks right? With exception of the Groznj Grad escape music.

Correct. Maybe Harry did a few more tracks but it was largely Hibino. Hibino also did the amazing MGS2 ost.
However he also did the shitty techno Twin Snakes boss fight music so lol
Been searching online for a while now and I still can't find an explanation for this if anyone can shed some truth... why does Solidus have a horn similar to Venom? Is there any significance or was it ever explained? It's not as big as Venom's, but there's clearly something there. It even shows the spot where it was in MGS4.
My wife noticed it when we were watching this video. That dark shape on his forehead really doesn't look like a piece of hair to either of us. It seems consistent in all the scenes he was in, at the end as well. Or is it really just weird hair?
And the placement of it above his right eye matches the white spot in MGS4 (kind of like the fragments in the xray at the beginning of TPP):

Maybe it's completely off-base, but when she pointed it out I keep seeing it too.

that is 100% hair. video game hair looked awkward like that back then, they are going for a sort of superman curl-ish look in the front.
Pretty much a Glock with some similarities of the standard USP in both the grip and the slide. But definitely not the SOCOM.
Huh. Okay then, silly PS2 graphics ahoy.

DRK is about to play Ghost Babel on stream. If you've never seen it, get in here bros.

Guys, I don't know if this is particularly allowed or not, but I wanted to share it with you...
After over 350 hours of gameplay, I was getting kinda bored playing the singleplayer portion of the game. I gave the multiplayer a try, but cheaters are plaguing my servers already. I gave up on it and went back to singleplayer, but I still wanted the social aspect that comes with comparing your scores, sharing your achievements and etc.
I had this idea cooking up in my head for a while, of a game configuration that would make me feel like in the early days of the game, when I was forced to improvise and make do with what little I had available to me. Of a time when I fully respected the game and the enemies. When I didn't worry about excelling, but simply succeeding. One evening, I sat down and wrote the Jarhead Challenge in a Steam guide, as I'm primarily a PC gamer. Given the feedback I got, I thought about sharing it with you guys. You can access the guide for the Jarhead Challenge here.
If you enjoy MGSV's core gameplay, but your interest in the game has dissipated or waned over time, I'd encourage you to take a look.

Yeah Hjunklay I have seen that challenge mentioned on other forums/chats.
I don't quite do it that way but close enough
- Pump-action shotgun
- Silenced lethal pistol
- C4, Smoke Grenades, EMP Mines, Cardboard box
- Horse, sometimes jeep
- Parachutes, not wormhole
- No Reflex, but I left markers on
- ASAP deployment
It really makes the levels more fun on one hand. On the other hand some levels still feel pretty barren and lifeless, like the research lab where Huey is and I just end up crawling to avoid detection in wide open spaces. You can easily cheapen the difficulty just by crawling in so many cases lol the guards can be quite blind.
I think the gameplay works best in dense areas with lots of nooks and crannies.

Crawling has always been the go to stance when you need to cross open areas without being seen. You're right in that it can feel like a cheat sometimes, but I think the detection range for crouching and standing are pretty tough. Guards will come looking if you crouch within a pretty decent distance. I end up buying into the fiction anyway...
But I do like tight spaces, the one thing I think the game lacks is a bigger area (perhaps an entire region) like Lufwa Valley or perhaps an underground facility were it's all urban spaces. Give the Extreme version a try, some time, I'd love to see your play style.

So MGO DLC and patch coming out tomorrow... Anyone gonna get it?
Didn't touch the game since october i think, so no.
No, Konami doesn't deserve my money, expecially for DLC which should be free in the first place (and considering the game on PC is still full of bugs unpatched from D1).

I feel somewhat bad for not playing the multiplayer for more then a week or 2, they seem to put quite a bit of effort into it lol (although it still doesn't seem that great watching some gameplay vids), then again remembering what Konami did too Kojima I couldn't care less.

i was considering it, since i really don't have much to play until DS3 drops. but (a) fuck konami, and (b) i fired up MGO for the first time in forever yesterday and it really does suck. so disappointed in how arcadey and shootery it is. most of what makes the single player gameplay so great is lost in the translation

I remember losing like 30 times on my first playthrough.
Then on my S rank playthrough I beat it with S on my first try.
