A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
I have this tendency of just playing stuff I already know and don’t enjoy most new game for like six or so hours while I have to „learn“ them - exception are simple things like platformers or racing games where it‘s crystal clear what to do.
So I have finally decided to really sink my teeth into MGSV and after the warm-up phase, I now can‘t put it down. It‘s crazy how good it looks even nowadays while spitting out triple digit fps at 4k on reasonable hardware. Also 60 fps on the Deck native at high settings. Mindblowing.
I approached the game wrong at first. I‘ve learned that I should be crawling when I think crouching‘s enough, and crouch when I think I can walk lol, also judo throws are more silent than whispers.
I‘m inching towards 100% completion. I liked side-ops and the open world more than any main mission. Main missions always felt too stressful with super human ninja zombies in some of em as well. And fuck „A Quiet Exit.“
Side-ops and the open world really let the games’ more fun mechanics shine for me. With like 120 hours for 100% I also think it has a good length. It‘s starting to wear itself off a bit and it‘s almost done, so it‘s not overstaying its welcome for me. Honestly? A masterpiece.
Although… for me the story was barely holding it together, just wild stuff that made me go „wait what“ more than a good number of times.
How did you pass those ? I quit the game because of the "let's put almost unkillable super zombies with superhuman senses in this stealth game" and make missions that quasi require you to fight them upfront/flee from them
I've been stuck at mission 16 for two years now, can't find the fulton specialist in previous missions (even with guides) and can't flee from the zombies
I run and pray. The fulton trick sounds easier though.
For clarification: You gotta press a button to hold onto the fulton when you do that (there‘ll be a prompt), or else you‘ll just slide off lol
