Thanks for all the advice! I love Reflex Mode. It's so much tension when it randomly happens.

Thanks for all the advice! I love Reflex Mode. It's so much tension when it randomly happens.
The Skulls are MUCH more doable when you fight them how they should be fought. The Sniper Unit are pretty straightforward and most people love them, but the Mist Unit and the Archaea Unit are much more doable if you use different tactics to how you fight soldiers and vehicles.
Mist Unit: Run away the first time, head into the ruins the second time and lob grenades at them or use the Honeybee. They won't follow you into the ruins but the walls they set up mean you have to leave cover to get a better angle or use attacks that go around the walls, like Grenades. It's actually a pretty tense battle if you fight them this way instead of sprinting around out in the open where you're vulnerable.
Archaea Unit: These are the guys that armor up and ruin vehicles and throw boulders. Basically, you want to bring different weapons that you probably don't use normally. Bring a Shotgun or a Grenade Launcher in your Hip Slot and bring a Machine Gun on your back. Zorn is also a good replacement for your pistol. The Archaea Unit regen armor fast and attack like crazy, so you need to use weapons that let you blast them quick while you're behind cover. The Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle/Rockets, and Pistol/SMG setup that most people would have up to this point are basically useless against these guys, which is why people hate this boss so much. If you use gear that has high damage, stopping power, AND a fast rate of fire you can manage these four much easier than you could with a regular loadout.
The bosses aren't bad, Kojima just forgot to give the player decent hints like he does in most fights. Normal tactics just DON'T cut it.
It's astonishing how Konami refused to reply to any of the questions regarding the possibility to purchase the console DLC on PC (available only with the DE, that you can't buy on Steam if you own TPP anyway) even if there are multiple threads on the Steam community hub and messages on Twitter.

Did anyone get this on Xbox One? I'd really like to know whether or not Ground Zeroes got a resolution bump.

The rocket arm is one of the greatest weapons in gaming.

Sorry, but is this a scam,a dumb post or what?
Because on Steam when you gift something, you gift the whole package, not the games you already own.
If you purchase something as a gift, you have no access to the gift no matter what you do.
It's impossible keeping the dlcs and gifting the games you own as wrote in this post.
It seems on Pc you have no access to console dlcs at the moment anyway:

It actually had its own thread. It was a collaboration between shaggy and someone else. I also did a variation of it because it wasn't to my liking .

Yeah, not listing the extra DLCs on the Steam page is beyond stupid. The new edition seems to have been handled incredibly poorly for those of us who have GZ and TPP, but not all of the DLC. They didn't even patch in the option to switch between the two games if you don't buy the Definitive Edition.
The fact is, there's currently a problem on PC: people who bought the DE can't access the DLC at all (I'm talking about the console one).
Konami is "looking into it", but really, they managed to screw up a simple thing like that.
I mean, the DE doesn't even provide a page with a description for what you are buying, it's just there.
What do you mean? My physical PS4 copy just has all the DLC baked into the disc and I can use it on any account i put the disc into. Is there something wrong with the digital version or something?

Yeah, same here.

Damn, that's terrible. I'm sure it wouldn't have been that hard to port the TPP improvements back to GZ...
VlaudTheImpaler
tl;dr
Anyone know if this has 21:9 support on PC?
Only on PC. Currently people who bought the DE can't access console DLCs on Steam, and Konami is working to "fix" the issue.
And do you know what is worse?
Apparently the only way to get the console DLCs on Steam is...to gift the game to a friend.
In fact, there's this note on the store page:

omg that one is insane. there is a way to s rank it by just running straight for the trucks and driving them into the AA guns, diving out before they explode. you do this three times then have to take out the tank that spawns in. it's tough but incredible when you pull it off, you feel like irl Rambo.

They have just copied and pasted the data from the two discs onto one disc then thrown on the DLC, it doesn't even include the patches for TPP.

Ohhhh.... Hahaha I tried stealth over and over and eventually gave up because I was getting nowhere. So I decided to run and gun and that was tough too. It really is best to just run and hide after firing several bullets. Hahaha.
First 3-7 hours with the game were truly amazing for me. After that it got way too repetitive.
Don't know if it's a known thing but it could be connected to today's DDoS attack on PSN.

Since I recently completed GZ and just started Phantom Pain for the 1st time... I can say that there is a different feel.... GZ is containted but still tense. PP is open but I still feel like danger is everywhere. My big issue is that that Snake is barely talking or showing any sort of personality so far.

I want to buy this to finally plays MGSV, but I'm torn on giving Konami money knowing Kojima won't see a dime of it.
Bruh, please. I'm pretty sure Kojima is over it and has already dried his tears with some sweet Yen bills. You want to support him as an artist? Buy the game!

her intro cutscene is one of the best in the series!
i've started using Rocket Punch for FOB and it is completely changing the way i play this game after 700+ hours. that thing is OP and the best.
-completely silent.
-completely invisible.
-knocks most guards out instantly.
-keeps going even after knocking someone out. line em up and knock em down, all in a row!
it's funny, the Nikita Missile in MGS1 was one of my least favorite parts of that game due to the poor controls. Rocket Punch is that concept perfected and it is glorious!
