For clarification: You gotta press a button to hold onto the fulton when you do that (there‘ll be a prompt), or else you just slide off lol

Hope you have more luck with the guard. Keep in mind that fulton’d guards stay in the brig for a while until they decide to work for you, and the timer only progresses when you‘re in the game (also when you‘re just sitting around in the ACC).
Another heads-up that might save you a headache: Don‘t do mission 25 unless you‘re prepared to rush a couple missions in a row (including one with our beloved Skulls).

I did it with the fulton trick: fulton the truck at the airport, then sprint like crazy to a cargo container, climb it, fulton it and fulton myself out with it.
If you‘re willing to give it another shot and have problems finding the „transport specialist“ hostage in mission 10, I‘ve read that there‘s a guard at the oil facility in mission 13 who has the skill as well. You can just sprint through the savanna to the facility and ignore all enemy bases, look for the guard, whack him, fulton him, wait a few seconds for good meassure, and then „Abort Mission (Return to ACC)“ and the guard should be in the brig regardless. That‘s how you also do the mission tasks without seeing the mission through to the end every single time. Or just finish the mission proper.
Later you can fight the Skulls with a rocket launcher with a few upgrades and whatnot, but it‘s not very fun… Maybe you can do it now already and drive the truck out of the hotzone. I’d rather go get the specialist to upgrade fulton though. You absolutely require the upgraded fulton later on anyway.
Anything „Skulls“ was my least favorite part of the game, the mech fight wasn‘t great either. If stealth is not an option, my fun nosedives.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
I have this tendency of just playing stuff I already know and dislike any new game for like six or so hours while I have to „learn“ it - exception are simple things like platformers or racing games where there‘s not much you have to learn.
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 fick „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“ a good number of times.
- Comment on Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST 1 week ago:
I‘m just spending 5 bucks for Welkins, swiping is for when you really want a character and have nothing left. But even then you drop one Mario Kart World and that should get you what you want. I have no idea what the point in whaling is, there‘s nothing hard in the game that needs it, there‘s nothing that even needs constellations. Maxing out a character just makes their numbers bigger (which isn‘t needed, see above) and doesn‘t change anything about their gameplay. I really don‘t get it.
But since you‘ve just started, you‘ll notice that eventually you won‘t be swimming in resources anymore. Still, you should be able to get a character every other patch even if you‘re unlucky. I guess the biggest opening people give for swiping is banking on „winning“ the 50-50, and then they don‘t win (duh) and then they’re frustrated and force it. As for swiping a grand and up into C6, no idea.

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 3 weeks ago:
I wanna see what the price is and what reviewers think of the screen and I might get one and sell my Switch OLED.
However, with these game prices I sure as hell am not getting any games, I‘ll play through my backlog games which I‘ll also check whether and which will get updates. It‘d be really nice if the games I have that play at 30 fps would play at 60 and at 1080p native. Maybe I’ll get physical copies of Switch 2 games heavily discounted later on.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds: First Impressions After the Long-Awaited Release 4 weeks ago:
Performance is utterly ridiculous, straightup the worst I‘ve ever experienced from a visuals vs hardware load standpoint ever. It runs almost as bad as CP2077 on ultra raytracing for me - but without any raytracing and on medium settings.
Also, try running the game at native without any upscaling or anti-aliasing; not for performance sake, but just to see what the game looks like „raw“: It‘s incredibly noisy, the upscalers have to work miracles with that input.
It is hands-down the best MH gameplay-wise though. My biggest gripes with the series (played the other entries for like 600hrs) were always how long you‘re stuck in animations and how stiff the attack animations are, often leading to missed attacks (or even finishers) because my character refuses to turn an inch to the left during a combo.
The „aim“ button fixes this completely and recovery animations don‘t seem to take ages anymore either. In World when I get hit I have time to literally put my controller down and facepalm for messing up (in Rise you can „wiredash“if you have charges), not in Wilds though.
As an LS main, I absolutely vibe with the new moves it got and the wound system is also very intuitive and accesible.
The story is pretty meh IMO as in every MH I‘ve played, they seemingly did put a lot of budget into those cutscenes though, they look good. I ended up skipping towards the end regardless, and I can’t help but feel half the cutscene budget would have been better off used for engine work.
I saw a bunch of complaints that the game‘s too easy, which I don‘t disagree with but first of all: Tempered Gore. Second of all: Wait for the expansion, the base game is always easier and then the expansion knocks our teeth out.
If I can run Wilds at a stable 60 in performance mode on high settings (should be doable on a 3080), it‘ll be in my top10 fav games ever, but since it runs like total ass, I prefer World still. This is my opinion on the game.

I‘m still on Monster Hunter Rise, I finally got gear I‘m satisfied with so now I‘m just trying to do mission by mission that I skipped. I‘ve installed mods and now I can actually find coop lobbies since for some reason they region-locked that game and mods unlock it…

The last time I had something like that was when BF3 was still the most revent entry in the franchise. I knew how the game would go by looking at which side had more names that I recognized lol, good times

- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 1 month ago:
I can‘t really pinpoint one game, it‘s easier for me to list a top 5ish in no particular order (but even then I‘ll probably answer differently in a month from now when I remember games I‘m forgetting about right now). It goes something like this:
Crusader Kings III
Monster Hunter World/Wilds (the latter if it didn‘t run like shit)
Nioh 2
Rocket League (haven‘t played it in years though)
HITMAN
maybe League of Legends if it still was season 7 lol (haven‘t played that in a while either)
Counterstrike 1.6
Dark Souls II (my first soulslike that I played on release with an active online population, so I have the fondest memories of this one, DS1 and its awful PC port was nothing to make fond memories with for me)
Seems like I‘m a competitive/challenging game enjoyer
- Comment on Jackbox Games coming to Smart TVs for free 1 month ago:
My LG OLED autoupdated through the internet last year and now VRR is broken (flickers no matter what or how stable the FPS is), only way to „fix“ it is to set the refresh rate to whatever my FPS is gonna be (most of the time) and then lock my FPS to that and hope it doesn’t dip below that too much (or it‘ll flicker). Support is as helpful as you might imagine.
So yeah, don‘t connect your TV to the internet or you‘re at the mercy of the manufacturer. Lesson learned.

I cannot for the life of me get to a stable 60 fps on half decend settings, I cancelled my preorder and I‘m waiting for the DF review… I might as well grab it on a discount in the future when I have future hardware… The game itself was fantastic, it just ran like ass.

Maybe unpopular opinion, but USUM is my favorite Pokemon game. The graphics were great and fitting, and it had a nice cozy feel with a banger OST.
Going from that to SwSh broke my heart. I literally just wanted a less pixelated USUM and instead they „evolved“ to that weird plastic/clay look like so many other Nintendo-close franchises…
I‘d say I‘m excited for an USUM remake in the future, but I don‘t think they‘d go with the vibrant and clean anime look anymore, and that‘d be over half my excitement gone.

- Comment on James Bond Game by IO-Interactive 2 months ago:
I loved their last three HITMAN games, easily in my top 10 favorite games ever (the actual story portion of it, not the liveservice), so yeah, I‘m very excited.
I also wished they would‘ve not gone the liveservice route with their last HITMAN title and kept making proper entries. Have there even been new maps since the story ended? Last time I checked all they did was throw out new targets with a shallow story on - at best modified - existing maps.
That being said, I‘m so ready and excited for actual new content from them. Exploring their maps has always been so fun for me.

I found that channel a couple weeks ago and without having much insight into the development side of games myself, I just thought their videos couldn‘t look more shady if they tried. Especially the plugging of their own company (?) and call for donations among other things left a bad taste. They should work on their presentation IMO.

Putting the finishing touches on Darksiders Genesis with a friend. Game was alright. My advice would be to play the game on Medium or High settings with Ultra textures. I realized too late that I could‘ve played with 50% higher framerate while the game hardly looks any different all this time lol
I also hope to figure out why the fuck I suck so much at Dorfromantik and get a bit more into the game this weekend.
