Metal Gear Solid 5's hidden karma system

PCgamer:

"It's never mentioned in the game, but Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain has a hidden 'karma' system that, over time, alters Venom Snake's appearance. Your Demon Level is determined by your play style, with negative actions—killing people, harming animals, developing nuclear weapons, generally being a jerk—earning you Demon Points, which increase the size of the shrapnel 'horn' on Snake's head."

I pretty much kill everybody that I don't extract. I don't want them waking up and alerting the other guards.

Same here. I have been wondering what kind of effect I'll get if keep killing soldiers that I don't extract. The soldiers are a bit reluctant to tell me about the position of their friends. They used to tell me willingly but now none of them would say anything.

FlameBaitGod3160d ago

They shouldn't involve MP karma on this xD, cus I don't kill people on main story or side ops but kill every 1 in FOBs. I was asking my self y the shard looked bigger, now i know :/

PaleMoonDeath3161d ago

This also happens, I thought it was a glitch at first.. currently trying to get rid off it.

You must have been really evil and killed everyone

I'm on mission 15, plus did a ton of sideops about 30 hours in.

I stealth and use non-leathal most the time. I already have 375 people in my motherbase, all my platfoms are full but there only at 2/4 atm.

I started out just doing whatever but then I ran into a snag when missions required a rocket launcher, (tried C4 but was way to weak and difficult to pull off). Went to research a simple rocket launcher, and I was like 6 R&D levels away lol. From that point on I went on a recruiting spree, don't want to be held back.

Is it just me or do you look fat in that video?

twiggytree123160d ago

It looks like he is wearing the heavy armor suit.

Bathyj3160d ago

Oh, Thanks. I guessed as much. I've only ever word the sneaking suit.

PaleMoonDeath3160d ago

Battle gear bro, FOB invasions it is most needed!

Tzuno3161d ago (Edited 3161d ago )

I wonder if only the horn grows if you are naughty, cough, cough.

WitWolfy3161d ago

I lost so many people at MB after that damn virus broke out... fml...

aquaticDonut3161d ago

I play nonlethal. I just thought the horn was gonna grow later on in the story or something. Guess im just not getting it.

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan198d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara198d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus198d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow198d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Michiel1989197d ago

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked

Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…

Cacabunga214d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19214d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19214d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq214d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger214d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder214d ago

Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.

YourMommySpoils214d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder214d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85214d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac214d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420214d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim214d ago

The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.

KyRo213d ago

The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.

MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
