the FOX engine is more than just a proof of concept.

Developed on time and on budget.
Maybe their team up is an At the Mountains of Madness
Because Konami hates it when people pay them money for their games. This is why Metal Gear is getting its own pachinko machine instead of a next game.

Cost-cutting measure. Europe's the only reliable market for it to make it worthwhile, but Japan's pretty cargo-cult about these things, so the European MGSV PC box merely has a slip with a Steam key in it.
Bethesda was marginally better with Fallout 4. They only included one disc with 5 gb of content with the expectation that you download the other 15 because they were too cheap to print other discs and for some reason publishers are reluctant to make the switch over to blu-ray (for PCs at least, consoles have already switched) even though the massive sizes of current generation games kinda demand it.
How common are blu-ray players on PCs right now? If I were to go and buy a PC capable of running Fallout 4 decently, would I get a blu-ray or a DVD player?

I dunno, but my current rig is from 2012 and I made the switch to a blu-ray drive back then, and the drives themselves first started coming out in 2006. It's been 10 years, if you still want to use physical media, you should be expected to keep up with it after a grace period.
By comparison, the first CD ROM drive was released in 1985. By 1995, the biggest computer games were shipping on discs, because releasing them on floppies would have been absurd with their sizes.

Don't buy the physical PC version of this game. The box is almost empty.

Because it was pulled off the shelves after huge uproar when people found out that the 'physical copy' is a cd with a 5mb steam installer and a cdkey. That's literally all there was.

Menc seems really disappointed in MGSV. It's heartbreaking to see a man fall into such despair and take up drinking mass quantities of beer to drown his sadness.

Did they add any interesting or important new features through patches? I only played the game during the release week but I might want to play the game again soon.
This thread is not worth reviving, but I've found that playing without HUD/Reflex Mode and turning brightness as far down you can tolerate turns this into a decent stealth game. The sight-ranges become pretty believable - guards can see actually see you when you begin to see them- and you will actually find a use for the flashlight attachments. LMGs are actually worth carrying around for when you get into a firefight since firing accurately from shoulder view is difficult- saturating an area with bullets feels like an effective tactic rather than overkill.
Snake is still nearly unkillable, but these changes limit your capabilities so much that it doesn't feel so cheap. Straight up fighting takes more tact.
While infiltrating the Jungle Mansion I moved from one of the interior rooms to the balcony and was spotted by one of the guards. I couldn't even see him as he was in a patch of very dark shadow, but I was able to intuit his position by the direction of his shout/scream and kill him by shooting blind. A lot of little moments like this.

Anybody know a way to kill the chopper in Backup, back down without getting an alert?
Note: I'm playing the game with minimal equipment/subsistence style for my own preferences.

If you get on an AA gun and shoot on target you might be able to take it down before triggering an alert.
Also, you can have D-Walker or Quiet attack an outpost near the chopper and try and get it to focus on them.

Good points but im also playing for perfect stealth n other self imposed challenges, like not touching anyone who isnt involved with the mission objectives. Sorta quasi ghost run. Therefore, aa guns are out coz theyre lpcated within the bases. So i can only rely on the procured javelin.
All that said, i beat the chopper yesterday by distraction which was unintentional. Was lying in the desert and right as the chopper flew past me, i fired one ar round at it. He turned round and began shooting blindly while i rolled away from the area. As im rolling away, the chopper started firing elsewhere which turned out to be my summoned chopper. Such impeccable timing. Javelin out. Fire, forget, not even a ! from the chopper. Feel like im worthy of big boss title, man

so after two months of not touching the game and coming back to it i now notice that going prone within 8meters (instead of previously 5, i believe) alerts the ai.
because sneaking with keyboard and mouse needed to be worse, thanks.
