So for this kill the Spetsnaz commander op can I just take him out with a Sniper Rifle? No need to tranq him or fulton him or anything, right

With pretty much all these types of missions the choice is yours, but if you kidnap him he might become a valuable asset for Diamond Dogs/unit in Mother Base depending on his skill set - but if that's too much of a pain, you can also clear the mission by just killing him.

 

[ElTorro]

without being in the game? cuz this would be amazing.

Loading it right now to try it out.

It's your call, boss.

I hope this works... if it does... i hope the app can link to PC... or i'll have to wait till i play some on PS4 i guess.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

What about it do you find boring? Theres alot to do if you get far.

I just seem to be doing the same thing over and over again. I thought I was returning to the same locations every time, it was that repetitive but when I found more material (in exactly the same place, in exactly the same building, with exactly the same ladder placement) I realised, no, this is a different place. And then I went over to another building with (see above). I think the level layout is the most uninspired I've ever seen. And who thought sandstorms where a good idea? I just crouch and make myself a cup of tea while it passes. I am not impressed with this particular MGS one little bit. I'm going to press on with the main quests and hope they throw up some variety but of right now I'm regretting my purchase, which is exacerbated by the fact I was warned.

Says you must connect to the main game once to use this mode... should be good.

Just need to take them out of the field of battle.

Alright thanks guys.

I just turned it on. Did anyone else see that the two nurses in the beginning strongly resembled Nurse Rachet from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and the nurse from An American Werewolf in london? If that was intentional, Bravo Kojima.

WHY IS THE COMPANION APP NOT SUPPORTED ON iPhone5?

I updated my phone from iOS7 to 8.4.1 because it said I had to and now it says the iPhone 5 hardware is not supported.

I updated for no reason. Wish it would have told me the hardware wasn't supported first so I didn't go to iOS 8


Do I have any options. Are there any tricks to install it on an unsupported device. I am 99% confident it would run fine considering the OS is the same

 

[Marvel]

Bummer I want my GZ save.

Servers come and go, keep trying. I have my gz gear.

 

[tryagainlater]

The first boss fight if it was a boss fight wasn't particularly exciting.

 

[DukeBobby]

I hate myself for loading up the last checkpoint when I get spotted.

It's a thing I do in every stealth game, and it really dampens my enjoyment.

 

[Death Metalist]

Alright thanks guys.

Not only that but IF you get to capture them, I think you'd get more information about certain things than if you didn't.

 

[MarkusRJR]

So, from reading a few reviews I kept hearing that the story was light in this game... Is that true? I was hoping for the typical MGS craziness in terms of cutscenes and story.

If you beat it by killing him, can you replay the mission and extract him instead?

 

[Dick Justice]

Does anyone else have an issue with songs not appearing in your cassette menu? I remember collecting the Rebel Yell tape, but it's not in the song list.

Yeah, looks like it should work.

This already worked for GZ

 

[LurkerPrime]

Have the online servers been down since release (PC)? I haven't been able to connect at all.

 

[Setsuna]

Im about 9 hours in and i feel as if i haven't accomplished anything but at the same time ive done a lot of stuff

It feels kinda weird

 

[33-Hit-Combo]

The first boss fight if it was a boss fight wasn't particularly exciting.

If it's the same as my boss fight, I thought it was bloody exciting! I was using tranquillisers though.

 

[[HP]]

How do I know if the upload from GZ was successful? I just loaded the game on X1.

For me it too a while, I had to finish a mission and in the end mission report it finally popped up. Basically all the prisoners you saved are brought over as "special recruits"

 

[ACE 1991]

Question: My roommate played about 3 hours today on my PC and says that there isn't any option to load/start a new save file. Has anyone been able to find where the directory is that stores MGSV save files? I'd like to at least save his somewhere so he can load it up when he wants to continue playing.

Ayone? Thread is moving fast.

 

[matrixman92]

so whats up with it telling me I have a side op available, and its one I just did and has a dot next to it

 

[Nose Master]

So... where do I put someone who speaks Russian so I can translate? Or is that a unique skill?

 

[Mooreberg]

Rescued a familiar face. The prologue was simultaneously great and bizarre. Probably the best game opening since TLOU. The way the stealth works in a true open world is well done so far. Looking forward to seeing how crazy things get. Hard to believe it has been seven years since the last full rodeo on a console. If it continues to be a good hybrid of MGS3 and FarCry, I am going to love this.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Ayone? Thread is moving fast.

I beleive its limited to one game save.

 

[The Lamp]

I keep forgetting that this game released today.

I'd been waiting for Mad Max, and decided to wait until the library got this because I'm cheap and my interest in the MGS series has waned over the years, possibly due to depression.

But I am looking forward to it after reading all of the good reports.

Libraries get high profile games? Wut?

i thought the app didn't work on PC for GZ.

You can, and should fulton him

 

[KingKong]

~ 6hrs in and I feel the same. Its like I get the whole structure of building up my base but it doesnt feel like it really matters, it's all just menus and upgrades that I'm not using and it's making me wonder if I'd be better off just doing the main story missions only

 

[ACE 1991]

I beleive its limited to one game save.

Fuck, really? There isn't a way to move the save file to a new location and start a new game?

 

[OverBlood 3]

It might sound hyperbolic but I feel like this is the first truly 'next gen' game I've played which is odd considering its on last gen platforms. I'm playing it and thinking 'I can't believe I'm playing this'. It's amazing.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Yeah, looks like it should work.

It does.

 

[PolishQ]

Libraries get high profile games? Wut?

If the librarian in charge of buying video games is savvy like that, sure. Many libraries tend to stick to family-oriented games, though.

 

[LurkerPrime]

what

But the mission said--
...
dammit.

So... where do I put someone who speaks Russian so I can translate? Or is that a unique skill?

Once you recruit them they'll be automatically assigned to the proper place. Check mother base's personnel thing for a detailed description of how their skill works--this goes for any person with a unique skill.

Oh, and yeah, translation is a unique skill. Only some units have skills. You should come across them after a couple missions, but I'll spoil you if you want:

Spoiler

There's a side-op specifically for recruiting one very early on in the game.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

Holy shit at the

Spoiler

medical bay "hidden"

scene I stumbled upon randomly. Like, wow. I guess I should explore everything to make sure to get everything.

Like, it was really a MGS holy shit moment.

Spoiler :

Spoiler

I guess I should watch that Ground Zeroes ending scene agai

 

[Alienous]

Fuck, really? There isn't a way to move the save file to a new location and start a new game?

Would using a different Steam account work? Isn't there a game sharing thing?

 

[Dartastic]

Could you tell me how to access this? I've unlocked the medical bay and standing on it now, but I can't find anything.

Spoiler

Door with a blue light above it.

I've seen some posts about this medical bay stuff, but I don't really want to go through a ton of pages trying to figure it out. Anyone able to tell me why I shouldn't miss this area?

Also, I hope I find a translator soon. Just got to Mother Base for the first time.

 

[Misterinenja]

don't get to excited
.

You do realize it fucking sucks reading posts like this without spoiler tags the day the game releases?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Quick question about a cutscene I thought would have been in the prologue. It was included in the Ground Zeroes end game teaser for TPP. I'll put it in spoilers.

Spoiler

I'm referring to the scene where Big Boss, Kaz, and the 'what about him?' Guy are in the Cypriot hospital being treated immediately following their chopper crash at GZ's end. Where Kaz is screaming 'Don't die on me damnit' @ Big Boss

Is that scene anywhere in TPP even as a flashback?

 

[gdt]

Hey very early side op question.

Where is the hell is the blueprint the riot smg?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

If I shoot a guy in the face, and his blood splatters on a wall, and I carry his corpse away... do his buddies investigate the blood?

 

[Ōkami]

Anyone tried to shoot Ocelot with the tranqulizer gun yet?

 

[ACE 1991]

Would using a different Steam account work? Isn't there a game sharing thing?

Hm? He didn't buy them because I bought it and he's just going to play on my PC when I'm not using it.

 

[Rogue Agent]

What is this Medical Bay scene? Can you only get it the first time on Mother Base?

 

[FullMetaltech]

Fuck, really? There isn't a way to move the save file to a new location and start a new game?

Yeah you cant. The online manual says that it will auto save at certain points. Saving will be overwritten and you cant have multiple saves.

 

[Lashley]

But the mission said--

[Alienous]

I'm talking about this.

Where can I listen to the soundtrack?? Not the licensed music, but the score....
