Metal Gear Survive |OT| The Fandom Pain (Mod Note: Read OP)
- Thread starter Zeta Ori
- Start date
In fairness, Survive is definitely leaning really hard on the new style of codec calls and relatively simple cutscenes. It's clear they've been working with a low(er) budget. But if anything that's just caused them to revert to the style they used in the earlier MG titles, which has benefits of its own.
I think it'll be interesting to see the game's story pans out after the first few hours. Hopefully they don't rely entirely on short "character introduction shot > codec conversation" for all the major story beats. I also hope there are major story beats and it's not just filler for 18 of the 20 hours. Only time will tell.
And of course I made myself look ridiculous in the cutscenes... http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/AntiMacro/screenshot/8292133
Early on, it can be a pain, yea.
You rely on finding animals and using their meat to help with hunger as well as dirty water. Both have a chance to give you a sickness. The meat you can eventually cook to give you more health and avoid sickness.
Clean water, on the other hand, you won't see too often. Not until you unlock the upgrade that let's you boil dirty water so it can be clean.
I'm about 8 hours into the game and I just got the upgrade for that. So now I can take bottles and canteens full of dirty water and convert them to clean. I've also been able to have a steady supply of food, too. There will be side missions where you can kill animals. I would suggest doing those just to keep yourself safe.
Hunger does tick down faster than Thirst.
Oxygen is another thing that will come into play. That can get refilled with Kuban Energy but every time you refill it, the cost increases. Going back to side missions, you'll see some pop up where they'll be a bunch of Kuban to collect. Look out for those as well.
This seems to be the case so far, that's my point. Sure, we can call the security camera scene cute as an homage but is the entire first hour and a half supposed to be an homage?
Honestly, this sounds a bit more tedious than I had hoped for. It might be less egregious in practice but this might be a bit too much for me personally. I might wind up giving up after a few hours.

Hmmm, was on the fence but this might just push me over...waiting for a few more impressions/reviews but that's a pretty sweet deal indeed...
Well it's the pre order deal so you better hurry. Just buy it with in store pick up. You can always choose to not pick it up.
It doesn't change that the scene of a CRT surveillance camera with periodic screen refresh is pretty damn good framing in my opinion
The multiple camera angles and foley effects are pretty well done. Hopefully the game has scenes like this sprinkled throughout and this stuff isn't entirely front/end-loaded.
Updated and still have the "Unable to start the game. To start the game, an update is required." error message.
Some people are saying you can earn it in-game and Japanese pre-orders just get it instantly. Can't confirm either way.
Metal Gear Survive This Day 1 Patch
I really didn't have fun at all playing solo during the beta, I'd like to see how the single player in the actual game may differ. Waiting on some youtube stuff to start popping up.

2nd update is tiny and we can now play. I'll probably play a bit before bed. http://www.twitch.tv/bendersgame
The game needed more stability... lol

When reviews hitting? Seems kinda interesting but only only if it's fun in two player coop for me
So do you just keep the character from the beta?
If yes, is there a way to change their appearance?

Crtl f helps.
You can change apparence any time but you cant switch gender.
My apologies, I missed that post on page 3.
Thanks for the answer though. I appreciate it.
No need to apologies, the tone wasnt a call out, it was more a concern that you might skip the game because the avatar thing and I often get ignored with questions
No worries glad I could help!
Ugh I guess I'll get impressions before I buy it then.
GMG has it for 18% off.
Worldwide launches are so common these days that having to wait for the EU release feels so backwards. Looking forward to this releasing, beta was fun with friends.
I'm kind of glad for the two day delay for Europe. I have the willpower of a fish so at least this way I can make a decision based on impressions / reviews.
this is very bad comparison, because of reverberations of grey room in survive.
The fuck is this game 59.99 CAD? lol 39.99USD is 50 dafuq is the other 9.99 coming from?
