So this is for a bit into the future but is there going to be a reason to bring DD or Quiet along instead of Horse? I mean sure you could just drop a vehicle with you but those things are noisy and you get spotted super easily in them. Unless you can ride DD or Quiet around the huge rear end map i don't see a reason?

It's all about what advantages you want. I guess Quiet is really good at killing guys from a distance for you, and DD is really good at spotting guys for you without you needing to take ten minutes to sneak around and mark them all.

Unfortunately I don't think the former is a thing. As for the latter, not sure if you can do it normally, but later on once you unlock Hard Mode versions of missions there are variants where you HAVE to enter them completely "naked" as you describe and scavenge any equipment from the field

There absolutely are multiple loadouts - the gameplay demo showed that you can have 3, for sure.

It's in the area where you do the C2W mission. In the cottage where the soldiers sleep. It's also the best song for the helicopter because of that :krad: synth opening.

I think I managed 4% at 10 hours. If the side ops would stop popping up, I would make more progress. But I like a clean side ops plate. Not going to happen though because those shooting range trials are HARD.

Yeah what's your take on this?? I'm kind of feeling that Ground Zeroes might have had some unreliable narration going on... like, when we played Ground Zeroes, we weren't actually playing what happened in Camp Omega, we were playing the way Boss remembered it went down during the coma. It also sort of makes sense with how the Extra Ops worked -- when you started them they were all labeled as a "historical recreation" which makes me think they WERE things that actually happened (especially since you can have guys like The Eye and The Finger join up with you), just not necessarily at Camp Omega. As in, Boss's memories were all muddled during the coma and while he was asleep he was reliving the events over and over and mixing I up with other missions that happened

This doesn't make any sense. By that logic should Big Boss should control himself and go off and complete every mission at S Rank without your input?

I mean, it also doesn't make sense that the most adept soldier in the world would walk into the middle of an enemy base in the middle of the day and get shot up by a dozen soldiers, but that's what happens if I just lean on the left analog stick.

You won't knock bottles and poo poo over if you actually sneak around properly. I think it's great that you have to maintain situational awareness while sneaking and that you have to maneuver around poo poo like that and watch how fast you're going, yadayada.

Just Another Anecdote: In one of the first side missions where you have to kill some random guy (i'm not tagging it as spoiler as i don't think it is), I was trapped with him knocked out next to me. Couldn't jump through the window with him, so I threw a smoke grenade, used him as a human shield when the soldiers started shooting at me, jumped through the window and left them to find out they had killed their boss once the smoke dissipated.

I love this game so much.

There's an analyzer upgrade for your scope. You will probably fill your base half full with guys with E in everything getting the R&D level to make it so I wouldn't worry about it.

The bionic punch is so damned satisfying. That look on the soldiers face as he turns around right before getting a metal arm to the face.

Knowing Kojima, probably Jamais Vu is canon and MGSV takes place in a parallel universe :shepface:

But I'm willing to bet that Ground Zeroes (at least the one we play through in the main mission) was the real version of the events somehow. As for how Paz lived, well hell if I know. The whole MGSV game so far has a sorta surreal quality to it so I'm not fully ruling out unreliable narration though.

Less vagina bomb than vagina rocket.

So Paz was shot into the ocean, how she survived that is another mystery. It's Metal Gear though, so probably some latent supernatural power.

Probably a magical vagina joke in there somewhere too.

I feel like I'm playing SUPER slow. I need to just start churning through the story. And not trying to be non-lethal and stealthy on the Side Ops since they're not graded. The combat is so good and satisfying but it's against my Metal Gear instinct. Time to murder every E and D ranked garbage soldier.

Also I'm terrible at this game. I S-ranked the prologue, managed an A on the Kaz rescue mission, but everything since has been Gentleman's Bs.

So how long does it take on average before you can develop enough to make a Fulton that can steal cars? Because I'm already in Africa, and I feel like I should be stealing cars already.

I'm 23-25 hours in and I just got it. I don't *think* I've left it on while I slept or anything, I've been playing it all my waking hours since it released.
DON'T BOTHER USING DD UNTIL YOU GET IT. It sucks having to run across the entire map instead of deploying with a car. I will say that it's a bit grindy to have it , because suddenly you need to run across the entire map again. This game will be as grindy as peace walker, I'm sure.

I really, really dont want to play the prologue again and deal with this bullshit again because the prologue was really sluggish, the amazing aesthetics aside.

Why cant console games "just work" like they used to back in the day?

the funniest thing so far happened for me today--i was working on one of the first missions that requires an RPG. when the soviet tanks rolled through, D-Horse was actually riding on top of a tank. he ended up uninjured (of course, i guess) but i almost failed the mission laughing. I wish I could remember where I left the dumb horse so I could replicate that incident

after that, had to jump on the horse and gallop through a sandstorm on a guardpost to catch the final tank. game owns so much

A reminder that it has to be Tranq ammo you use, and if you so happen to have the Riot SMG that uses STUN damage, they are very different things and Stun won't work on those guys.

Also do all Heavy Infantry turn around and smack you if you try to hold them up or did i just get a random tough guy?

Not on PS4 because you'll never be able to connect to the server to import your save.

On PC or bone maybe, a couple good soldiers maybe. Nothing game breaking supposedly.
