Also, Ocelot, there's a third reason why the truth serum isn't working. Have a think and see if you can come up with something.
Of course! He has prototypes of truth serum canceling nanomachines in his blood. It's so obvious.

He could be telling the truth.

E: I'm calling it now. Ocelot is the traitor. Once a double agent, always a double agent. And it was awfully convenient of him to show up just when Snake got out of the hospital, wasn't it?

Behind the scenes fact: I originally said something to the effect of "I'm taking your legs, NERD" when Snake cuts the cable, on top of other "NEEERDS" quips but I edited the majority of them out. I felt like I was gonna be those LPers that just never shut up and always have a "witty" quip :shobon:

I have a non-plot related question.

When Snake's wearing his standard outfit, he's got a long piece of his combat webbing that hangs down from his butt. What's up with that?

There are 2 camps about the belt hanging from his back



1: Its meant to be a tail, the shrapnel being his horn which gives him more of a demonic appearance

2: Its what he uses to strap himself to the chopper or a fulton balloon

I wouldn't be surprised if its supposed to be both

No you can't. It's a bit weird, since even Dhorse can do that, but I guess that would be slightly overpowered.

At least not directly. You can be extracted if you stay on top of a raw materials crate while it gets fultoned.

Only when using the wormhole fulton, though, and that's a ways off yet. Mentioning this so we don't waste hours of the OP's time while he tries to find the exact spot on a container that'll keep him from falling off when it goes into the air.

No, you can follow it even before that, you just have to make sure to hold onto the wire. You can also fulton yourself via the "Return to ACC" button in the menu.

Basically just get on a crate, strap a balloon on and keep holding the action button and you're flying out in style.

I've been playing along with this LP and have discovered a ~fun fact~. If you exit the mission area while carrying Emmerich in hopes of getting away from the mecha, it will fail you. Not only will it fail you, but it will dump you back into free roam mode, and you have to start the mission over from scratch. There's no way to load your last checkpoint, because the game considers "your last checkpoint" when you aborted the mission and entered free roam mode.

I'm, uh, going to take a break from this game.

...you would hope the game would give you some kind of very explicit warning or simply prevent you from doing this, since the obvious/clever thing to do is NOT go tramping through a bunch of dudes into a canyon funnel with a giant murderous robot chasing you, and other games in the series have explicitly rewarded non-standard tactics from time to time.

I loved that mission. I remember trying to do it as fast as possible with "Take on me" looping in the backround taking out the tank from afar with a rocket launcher.

The prisonners were a pain to find. Especially since they're all so spread out and the fact that the tanks can leave the mission area.

Yeah, DDog is needed for that. Online gives no help because everyone just says "Oh run here to find this prisoner" and show where the prisoners are when the missions STARTS, it doesn't say where the prisoners end up though. Once again, worthless advice online with people, say, suggesting you come back to mission 6 after you get end game weaponry to kill the helicopter.

What video software do you use? Cropping the subtitles onto the video is probably a lot cleaner than blocking a quarter of the screen with the tape menu, especially in an area we haven't seen yet.

I use Adobe Premier Elements 14, I can start putting in subtitles for the cassette tapes. My intent wasn't to expect people to strain their eyes looking at the corner, I felt it was a neat effect :shobon:

As a native Dutch speaker, hearing Afrikaans is weird as hell. It sounds like it *should* be Dutch except the sentence structure is off, there's tonal shifts where there shouldn't be, the accent makes no sense and that's not how you conjugate... I can understand what they're saying, I just keep going "WTF, where did you learn dutch?"

.. Not a good idea.

When what they're saying in Afrikaans translates to "We have an intruder, taking fire, send backup", what I hear in Dutch is the rough equivalent of "Us hab' intruder, we's being shot, send help!" in a bad stereotype accent.

It's kind of disturbing, really.

Frankly, that's just what it sounds like to be a German who hears Dutch. And to a lesser extend Afrikaans. Except that you often replace words by things which sound like made up nonsense, or pig Latin.

The title of the video had me slightly worried.


So hey about the thread title, I was going to explain this when I posted the video but was short on time and had to run to work. It is a reference to the gunsmithing, there was a very, VERY entertaining bug in the PC version of the game: By selecting an attachment on one gun then going to another gun with a locked customization slot and using the mouse to select it it would equip that customization to the weapon. So this led to things like 200 round sniper rifles, carbines rapid firing shotgun shells, and even silencing rocket launchers that launched anesthetic rounds to silently put guards to sleep. It also had some useful options like equipping a silencer on the rubber bullet rifle or impressing Ocelot with your 200 round revolver, more then enough to kill anything that moves.

Someone posted a picture of a grenade with a silencer attached to it, which was so absurd that I loved it. Sadly the picture itself wasn't from MGS5 but Payday 2 :saddowns:

Quiet is a great companion. She can scout out an entire base by herself, and kill roughly 90% of its occupants before you ever get close if you ask her to. But that default outfit... My first reaction was "Kojima, dude... Gethelp."


Luckily, as you increase her buddy level you unlock some additional outfits that actually look decent. Once I had one, I switched her to it, story reasons be damned. She's badass and sexy and she's still badass and sexy even when she's wearing combat fatigues rather than lingerie.

This mission is really short if you just carpet bomb the general area of the walkers.

You can clearly see that the soldiers want to voice some complaints about her being around, but for now they're keeping Quiet.

Yes but sadly it's one of the many weapons added later in patches meaning it requires astronomically high levels to develop.

In contrast, Peace Walker had a fulton launcher that you could acquire from one of the side ops
