I am noooot liking the checkpoint system of having to start an entire mission over and running back to it, while also having to regain all your supplies on the way there.

Really enjoying this so far! Could see myself getting severely addicted to it just like I did with Peace Walker. Only real complaint so far is the male AI voice, it is just dreadful and constant.
I can see why some are frustrated with the food and drink mechanics but if you pace yourself and explore out beyond objectives often you should have more than enough to make it by.

I have to say that I'm enjoying the game, but every once in a while all the systems and the menus clash in such a way that really ticks me off. I can see this game pushing people away very easily.
Are you wearing the cosmetic head items? I was wearing the bandana and I guess it overwrites the mask you wear in the dust.

How does the wormhole transporter work? One time I was able to press X on a body to transport it, but that's the only time it's showed up.
You need to stealth kill them. Then you can extract them and you get like 25% more Kuban from them
It's no bug if you are wearing a head accessory like say the eyepatch. That overwrites anything else on your head and also doesn't show the mask
I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but how's the game in single-player? I'm curious, but I would love to hear some impressions before committing.
the game is singleplayer mostly with side online modes, seems like "I need to get this to get this" cycle game
And I was so looking forward to starting my campaign for local office in my Survive base
So after hours of trying to get to grips with mouse and keyboard I switched to controller and never looked back.
Played for a few hours tonight and from a gameplay perspective: I'm having fun. The checkpoint system can be rough though (having to run back to an area is kind of crap). Also, I learned that you only get access to making clean water in chapter 7, so that was kind of a slap upside the head. I've resorted to chugging dirty water bottles and hoping I don't get sick, and if I do, I make sure to have a good supply of that medicine on hand to handle it.
The story is a big ol ball of "whatever" so far. I'm not hating it but I'm also not really loving it either. I actually rather dislike how my character doesn't speak. In some games I'm totally fine with it, but I'm so used to playing as a character with a voice and opinions in the Metal Gear games, which leads me to...
I do feel like the game would have been much better served without the Metal Gear branding. It really should have been its own thing, even if that means losing out on a lot of those nods to the Metal Gear franchise.

Yeah figured that out, kind of a bummer, I love my eyepatch but currently got it unequipped because the lack of face mask is distracting.
SO i decide to start it, have to rent they didn't have a lot of copies for selling, because they thought it would flop hard (i can understant that), but got sold out very fast. So 3 hour last night... i freaking like it so far, having a hard time to manage food, and i don't want to "cheat" so thing get a little difficult to manage. The game is also a little more challenging that i have would have thought, that mist was something, no death yet but i 2 time i was at 1 hit to die ! I really dig it so far. Also didn't feel that level scaling also, i'm pretty sure this is only a area thing i've got wanderer with more level then me and previous area seem to still have low level ennemies, so i think it was only my imagination from different video or it really depend of the area, but this is not distracting for loot.
Any word yet on the lack of hairstyle options? I swear the beta had more? I heard something about a currency you can earn from playing the coop mode to buy cosmetics but can't see this anywhere.
Also it feels like the online portion is barely unlocked? There was more stuff in the beta, what's going on... Me and my buddy bought this game solely for the coop missions expecting a tonne more content.
So I redeemed the Survival Pack DLC. Nothing happened after I successfully entered the code. Like with ever other DLC code I redeemed, there is usually DLCs that are downloaded to the PlayStation 4. I checked my purchase history and it is there. I cannot get it to download or do anything.
Punch them out with a sprint punch, lol
You play the singleplayer to unlock more maps.
The "easy" difficulty also now has lvl 20 enemies.
The multiplayer is not the main draw of the game, the singleplayer is. The multi is to compliment it and to allow for replayability once you finish the singleplayer.
It was basically designed so you'd go into singleplayer, unlock the stuff and then play multi if you want.
I've gotten a bit more into the game now, and I am enjoying it way more than last night at first.
You can craft survival bags later on that increase the weight limit when equipped, yes
I played a round of MP last night.
-Enemies start at level 20.
-There's quite a few side missions that pop up. The beta had, what, 1 between each round? There are multiple side missions in between and during a round.
Like it was said, single player is the meat of the game, which is why they probably made MP start at level 20.
I was able to get some broken weapon from MP that transferred over to single player, including a rare, broken recurve bow. I couldn't craft It yet since I don't have the materials or the proper bench.
Speaking of rarity, you have uncommon, common, rare, legendary and epic.
There will be survival bags to let you hold more weight as well as gear to carry more ammo.

So I go a side mission called distress call and I can't find it. It's in the Dust and near an area where the Dust go away for a bit and there's vultures and wolves. It says it's there and it ''accepts" it, but I don't see anything. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
PC or PS4 Pro guys? The PS4 Pro Version would look better but is also more expensive. Are there enough players on PC?
I'm playing on a Pro. Frame rate is a solid 60 fps and the load times are absurdly fast.
Haven't played multi yet.
Completely excellent. I can run it with almost everything maxed out on a mid tier computer. Fox Engine really is a treasure.
I'm on chapter 10, guess I'll progress the game a bit and wait for those survival bags to show up...
Just did it myself, look for cracks on the side of that cliff where the dust is clear, you have to climb that and get the guy at the top.
Posted my thoughts on the port a little while ago. Is there anything specific you want to know about the PC version?
I 100% agree with you, but if you go back to Gameplay reveal 2016 (gamescom I believe) they made it seem like the entire game was co-op. I wonder if they bit off more than they could chew and scaled back? Pretty disappointed in what we got in co-op modes for the time being.

I get a rock-solid 60FPS on my setup. I'm just using the default settings, but I didn't look to see what those are, so I can't speak to that unfortunately. I'm playing at 1080p though.
Nvidia GeForce 780 Ti
Intel Core i5-3330 @3GHz
Windows 10 Pro
12GB RAM
Great, sounds like an awesome port. Thanks for the info,
Do the animals respawn in the same areas that are pointed out with the sub mission circle? Does the circle re-appear when they respawn?
Because if you need to wait for the circle to re-appear, it takes really really long. Like two-three days. I'd be starving by then, even if I cook all the animals out of the three circles that appear.
Perfect so far at 1440p 60 fps maxed out on a GTX 1070 and Core i5-4690K, all at stock clocks. Buttery smooth like MGS V.
I'm about 2 hours in and just did my first foray into the dust. This game is no joke at the beginning. Hunger and thirst are pretty easily managed: drink dirty water with meds on hand and it seems like side missions for animals pop up when you don't have any food. The new challenge over MGS V (other than survival elements) is the fact that there are so many enemies watching from every direction which can make stealth a challenge unless you craft lures and perhaps other devices to manipulate where they're looking. I've had some pretty tense moments being chased by hordes of zombies, but I'm starting to figure out some ways to cheese them as you should since they're brainless zombies.
Really enjoying it and looking forward to going back after work!
Just crouch up to them and hit them twice. The first will be a punch and second will be a kick to knock them out.
I didn't think I'd be buying this but I'm such a sucker for loot grind games.
Watched some streams last night and it looks right up my alley since I enjoy fortnite style single player.

Huh... well that kinda sucks. I feel a little missold, they gave the impression the multiplayer was the focus with the SP being a side-mode. Me and my buddies basically bought this on the premise of the multiplayer beta being much more fleshed out in the full game with a load more maps, content and replayability etc.
So glad to hear that the quality of the port is the same as MGSV. I was worried that it will not run as good as that game.
no you don't need to have ps+, but your console must be connected to internet, even if you play single player only.
I mean, I would be worried if it doesnt run perfectly with such a rig.
I'm hoping it continues to expand with DLC and other stuff. There's a lot of potential for it.
This game is surprisingly fun and frustrating at the same time.
I really wish they had made the story more goofy though, it's trying real hard in that RE5 kind of way instead of the much more fun RE4 kind of way.
