I found the interpreter mission a bit strange because in MGS3 BB could speak and understand Russian, and in any case you're now working with Ocelot who is Russian.

They actually explain that if you interrogate someone with CQC before doing that mission. BB has brain damage due to the schrapnel in his brain. He forgot how to speak and understand Russian.

You'd think there would be a way to keep that from happening. Avoid spawning any enemies a certain distance from where your drop point is, or something, so a scout truck isn't literally right next to you when you show up.

Also, while Ocelot can speak Russian, he's not really prepared to do on-the-fly translation.

Alas, no matter when and where you are, they have that talent.

You know, even when they aren't stopping to walk around in circles by their truck yelling about lazy bastards 100 feet outside a guard post, because they sensed the presence of the unconscious man you shoved into a porta potty a full minute before they showed up.

In Chapter 1 I tried interrogating a guard and Ocelot says "Looks like the shrapnel in your head took out the part that knows how to speak Russian" or something like that (despite knowing EXACTLY what the guard said, he said he couldn't speak English :colbert:). I tried another interrogation but it didn't trigger the dialogue, but Ocelot says:

quote:

Understanding a language, and being able to interpret from that language for somebody else, are two different things. Juggling languages at a rapid-fire pace is more difficult than you might think, so... in other words, while I do speak Russian, don't expect me to do your interpreting.

It's the little things that make this game great, like the translator being a dick to the other soldier.

I wanted (in fact, I'll just add it in annotations) to add my own subtitles to what the conversation was in Russian before they spoke English. As an aside, thank you fans for having an article for the Russian Interpreter on the Metal Gear wiki :patriot: :

You gotta wonder about Ocelot's hiring methods. He SAYS "bring people back to base, and if they're agreeable they may decide to join us" but it's not like anybody says no. You would think out of all these soldiers somebody would say "kill me if you have to, I won't betray my homeland."

Outside of VIDEOGAMES, while I'm sure there is plenty of making them listen to Big Boss's mix tape until they crack, there is probably just as much if not more "Well, I hated my old job, Big Boss is famous, and I get to hang out on an oil rig doing nothing until I'm Miller fires me automatically for having D's in everything".

My guess is that a handful of the "oh sorry, they got lost in the weather/they couldn't take take the stress of being fultoned" recruitment failures are occasionally Ocelot deflecting the blame of not being able to break a guy

I've always preferred just shooting radios with silenced bullets, compared to blowing it up with C4 and alerting anybody left on the base something is up, if you were not doing a full clear anyways. (I have also noticed they are surprisingly resilient to hand grenades, I guess the wooden tables shield them from the blast due to hitboxes?). At least if it is not in an obviously visible high traffic area.

I just prefer the peace of mind of having the thing broken already, to having to fumble for the C4 detonator when things go loud. Especially with the AI's tendency to call HQ over things you didn't to personally. "HQ HQ, Somebody walked into a landmine! Clearly this was the work of the enemy!"

The radios in bedrooms are extra strange in that I've often seen guards on shift changes just go to sleep without caring there is a broken radio 5 feet away. But of course when I rely on that to happen, they notice :v:

EDIT: Also, if by "some things are green" you meant the Green names on the development screen, that is equipment your Motherbase soldiers are allowed to carry.

Maybe its cause I do it when a guard is close by but even with a suppressor guards hear the radio blowing up.

It helps to unlock as much as possible, particularly camouflage once a certain gameplay mechanic becomes prevalent.

Oh yeah, be careful about your sightlines, even at night. Those guards have some drat good eyes.

How much does camo affect your visibility? Since the guards can see so much better than before, I imagine not much. LOS might be more important.

I've found that camo's quite useful, actually; If you're wearing something suited for low brush and scrub in afghanistan, you can lie flat in some low grass and guards will have to get within ten-ish metres before trying to investigate; closer if you're in a low spot so they can't see you very well.

In comparison, a camo that clashes with the environs, such as olive drab or jungle in a sandy area is going to get noticed; I've had some guards call in a 'We see something wierd' moment from 30+ metres away, while I'm laying prone.

In general, though, staying in low spots, moving quietly, and staying low to the ground to break line of sight is still the best way to avoid alerts.

An update not taking 2 weeks to come out? :monocle:

Catch up 1

Cassettes 1

Bonus update, I run through the missions I've done thus far and finish their secondary objectives (and point out the ones I cannot finish yet) as well as half the cassettes collected so far, all of them together was almost 45 minutes and I didn't want to do that to you guys.

E: Hey so I thought about the secondary mission things, would you guys prefer I put them all in one bunch in a separate video or to cut it into the main videos?

Definitely cut completing secondary objectives into the main videos. Bonus updates get a ton less views, just by nature. They're necessary for things like the cassettes, but for gameplay like this try to keep it in the main videos, so more people see them.

Yeah, dumb question in hindsight. Only reason why I didn't think of doing that before was because on making the LP I was going to not bother. But hey if this LP is going to only have 5 missions done thus far and its been... 5 months I should put extra effort into the LP

Indeed. Side ops are also a huge part of the game as most of your income and resources are acquired during Free Roam (Unless you play the online mode a lot)
