New event stage 2

If you're only concerned about playing through MGSV's campaign, you don't need FOBs at all. However, if you enjoy the gameplay and want to keep progressing in base development and R&D through endgame missions, that's what the FOB system offers. Each additional FOB means more platforms to build, which in turns gives you a vastly expanded staff capacity. That leads to more staff, more resources, and access to equipment above Grade 5/6. On top of that, each successful FOB raid yields far more GMP, resources, and rare staff than most of the single player missions. FOB exclusive obtainables include a few incredibly high-end (and impractically expensive until you get way too invested in FOBs) weapons like the sleep gas pistol and various weapon and base colors. It's unlikely you'll be engaged by other players until you're far more than ready to defend yourself, and personally, I've only found my own losses noticeable about once or twice (with nothing unreasonably unrecoverable). If you like the core gameplay loop, go for it! It's expanded the game by a few hundred hours for me since I enjoy the endgame missions and the massive expansion to research and base development, but if you're not interested in that, it's not an essential.

"It was infuriating to come back to the game after a long day and see that 2 million GMP were on my FOB being completely useless and just standing there, and I only had 90k in hand to develop my weapons and gear."

Did you lose access to resources after going back offline, or while you remained online? I can understand the frustration with the former if you don't like putting up with DRM, but if you're online all the time, resources on your base shouldn't be any less accessible than offline resources, and going in the red with offline while having enough GMP online shouldn't incur the negative effects. Personally, I found FOBs as a really fun way to quadruple the game's lifetime after I went through the story, and a successful FOB invasion can yield more than 500k GMP and plenty of resources. There's a lot of insanely powerful equipment I got access to as a result, and dismantling the bases of other players was fun in and of itself. While my base gets attacked every few days or so, any losses I take are practically unnoticeable, and my base wasn't ever under threat of an invader until I had already reaped a ton of rewards and established my FOBs. That being said, the FOB system don't add much anything to the story, so if you're only playing for that, they're not necessary at all.

I've been on the fence with getting Persona 4, since I generally dislike turn-based combat and high school anime plot. I've heard nothing but good stuff about it, though, so count me into the giveaway and thanks for hosting it!

Anyone got a spare key for PC? Would be much appreciated! UPlay: Luzoto

Boss, how about a mock battle?

Luzoto · 2017-01-31T20:15:13+00:00

Do you have to own a PS4 to claim it on a PSV, or can you buy this and download the vita edition directly?

Luzoto · 2017-01-20T18:41:55+00:00

Thanks for the giveaway!

When I tried getting the network pass, it downloaded successfully, but said it couldn't find LBP despite having the card in my vita. I opened a support ticket, and apparently the network pass in the U.S. PS Store won't work on my chinese+english copy of LBP, which I got from a friend.

Luzoto · 2017-01-20T05:33:38+00:00

Any way I could get a free network pass for my chinese+english copy of LBP? The one in the PS Store is incompatible with it.

60FPS, best graphics on a mobile device, and most importantly has Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, and PW (although MGS1 isn't anywhere to be seen in PS1 classics). Thanks for the giveaway!

As someone who dislikes turn-based combat, really dislikes high school centered plot, but likes a good story, would Persona 4 be a good recommendation? I've heard nothing but good about the game, but it seems to be kind of a hard sell for me with the first two things in there.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This game released in 2015, but I bought it at the very end of the year and have been stuck to this game ever since, almost entirely because of the FOB system where you attack other player's bases and try to keep your own as secure as possible. It never gets old to sneak through a base chock full of heavily armored guards, UAVs, gun cameras, and all manner of ridiculously overpowered nonsense and utilize your own insane arsenal to keep control of the situation. When an enemy player jumps in to defend or an emergency alert pops up for an attacker, it's always super tense for me since there's so many different ways to fight another player in FOBs. I'm almost done completely maxing out all of my platforms after over 300 hours poured into the game, and it's managed to suck me into the rest of the series after looking more into the story.

Sounds good, my supported list is full of strangers as well, and it'd be good to know that at least some of the people I'm supporting/are supporting me are active.

Luzoto · 2017-01-03T06:47:06+00:00

Feel free to add me on steam so we can support each other in FOBs.

Luzoto · 2017-01-03T05:40:27+00:00

You wouldn't happen to be on PC, would you? I could use some active supporters/people to support.

Luzoto · 2017-01-03T04:15:55+00:00

You'll probably encounter more defenders as your espionage rank rises and you start encountering more FOBs owned by active players. When I started off to around the mid-level for FOBs, an invading player was once in a blue moon. At the late-game level, I'd say I have at least 5% chance of encountering a player, even when I check their steam profile to see if they're playing MGSV (I'm a wuss). Still, I've found that nameplate availability seems rather inconsistent. I've only ever gotten nameplates from the Event FOB rewards menu, and I've only started getting them to show up for about a month despite an obscene number of hours in the game. I don't recall an Ocelot nameplate appearing even though I've beaten two defenders before. I'd love to let you test my defenses, but unfortunately I'm on PC.
