ayyyyyyyyyyyy
lmao
This mission is Indiana Jones on steroids.
I think the pistol is overall more useful.
The Riot SMG is basically shooting rubber bullets. So it takes a couple of hits to put someone down, and I found it harder to hit headshots.
Play the side ops and make a better equipment. This is essential to progress in the game. I'm the mission (50 hours)

Sneaking behind then hold R2 when the prompt appears will automatically hold them up in the interrogation stance, you can also crouch to make yourself harder to spot.

That prologue blew me away. First mission was incredible. It took me two hours but I managed to perfect stealth it.
Holy shit, this is going to be truly epic.

Yeah its mind blowing.
Have to build it first. It'll come as you play. After 3 missions or so?

They cut out all the lines where snake would repeat the last line of dialogue and add a "huh!?" at the end

Honestly, I don't deserve one. Well, I'm glad I got that mission S ranked, but I didn't even try. I was fucking up hard because that mission is filled with enemy vehicles and I was getting tired.
But then I finally complete the mission and I am awarded an S rank, despite being seen 7 (!) times, killing a bunch of people, used reflex, got hit 59 times and nearly spent half an hour in the mission.
Dem bonus objectives doe. I didn't even know I got 11/11, it was my first try.

How the hell do you connect online?!?!??
The episodic approach is so dumb. One of the very few Kojima style choices that I think just doesn't work. A lot of missions you do aren't even that story intensive, let alone requiring credits everytime. And it makes the most open Metal Gear or all feel more broken up. Super weird that he used that idea for V out of all of them. Would've been far more fitting in something like 4.

WTF is up with staff just disappearing and not even showing up on the former tab?
Lost 4A+ troops already in addition to Kojima disappearing.

There's a notice that Konami's servers are buckling that you'll see it if you ever manage to connect.
They're working on it, but I wouldn't hold my breath right now.

Eleven hours logged in today. Jesus. I need to take a break tomorrow and work a little bit. Played this all the way into 3 AM.
Everyone keeps mentioning this, is it possible for me to still find it? I just finished the
mission, though it was major I assume I'm still early on. Is there a prerequisite or do I just explore the base properly?

Yes, you can still do it.

I saw it much further in the game than you are.
Go to
medical bay, take the stairs up, into the door with the blue light, then press the button at the right to open another one.

Alright I found the best 80's tune, makes perfect heli music as well.
Never changing this.
Location is
Laura Brannigan - Gloria.
Location is
the airport in Africa, it's inside somewhere.
Air Command Center. Inside of your chopper.

I know but imagine if 3 enemies were near each other? You could just put them to sleep and then interrogate them one by one by waking them up with a shot on the leg then holding them for interrogation. Basically you are doing the same thing as sneaking behind an enemy except you have more control of how the situation plays out since the guard is asleep.

How do I equip my new helicopter mods? I bought the faster one but it still says I have the old one equipped. Not sure how to change it.
Customize option. The one where you edit your emblem etc. There is a helicopter tab.

Damn, the game keeps surprising me, when I sneak behind an enemy I point the gun at the enemy from behind so he surrenders and I open the wheel menu to make him get down, but not this time. Maybe because the A.I is adapting to my play style, check out what happens, it nearly gave me a heart attack lool:

It's difficult to categorise them as bosses, I'd call them 'encounters'.
I found I had a lot of fun when I decided to go lethal. Still as stealthily as possible, but decked out with lethal options.
The weapon progression isn't great. Playing non-lethally feels like being a vegetarian in a steakhouse; the options just aren't on your side. "You can use this pistol, and this rifle, and maybe this shotgun when you've played for 40 hours".

Anyone know how you trigger that medi bay scene? I've been into the door that you can enter but there's nothing but another locked door.

If you have DD use him and visit the outposts, he'd sniff him out.
It's at the top, the door with a blue light on top of it.
Use D-Dog. He'll be somewhere.
I just did this for like 15 minutes. So good.
My style is non letal util they find me, then I go fully lethal until they kill me or I take the base/outpost
Very funny hahahah.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Just got a buddy that if you've seen a single trailer isn't really a spoiler, but I'll mark it for progress reasons (about ~6-8hours in):
Anyway, I think with it being 8pm and me grabbing dinner, I can give my Day One impressions:
THE GOOD
Dat opening. I don't care what anyone says - that first hour was badass and just kept escalating more and more. It had all the things I love about MGS cutscenes.
Performance: This games looks fantastic and runs great on the PS4. I almost always get multi-plat games on PC, but I don't feel like I'm missing out playing on PS4.
Gameplay: This is all the best parts of Metal Gear Solid controls rolled into one. Controls are fast, responsive, tight, fluid... whatever descriptor you want for "great." I feel like I have complete control over Venom Snake; he goes where I want, grabs what I want, jumps over what I want. The menu structure is great. The stealth is wonderful. Moving your character in the space around you is just about perfect; save for the horse, which I'm not a huge fan of, but am enjoying it more as I play.
AI: It's really great - yeah, it's a "game" through and through - but within the rules of Phantom Pain, the AI routines are phenomenal.
Missions: Main story missions have been fun and varied - though I haven't played too much to commit to that.
Cutscenes: When we get them, they're the fun Kojima crazy things I love.
Score: This music is phenomenal, and how it ramps up with the action is incredible.
... and, I really, really love planning my attack but then going full-on rambo when I get caught. It's fun to improvise - and this game has everything you need to enjoy making your own rules and play style on the fly.
THE NOT SO GOOD
Open World: I've only played for a day, and I can already see the trappings of open world game design - collecting shrubs, running around the same looking areas over and over, getting lost and referring to my map several times, etc. Maybe it's too early to say this - but so far, everything in Afghanistan looks the same. It looks good, graphically; but it's not an aesthetic that I particularly enjoy.
Landing Zones: I'm asking for help here: I don't really love that, while it's open world, I'm constantly forced to run around giant mountains that I can't climb. For example, I was just about on my way to a power plant to get blue prints, and the LZ to start the mission is forever away... and I kept getting lost, as you can't just climb... you have to follow roads and it 1) takes forever, and 2) I don't love having to keep strolling past outposts or take them over. Is there a way to give yourself a "guide" to get to the destination? Seriously, I'm tired already of wandering this place. And, I guess I'll ask how others are playing? Do you typically have the heli pick you up after each mission/side-op, or do you wander to the next location?
...
...
And that's about it for the bad. I think I'm just having a very rough time adjusting to Open World MGS. It very well might grow on me, admittedly. It's just - I rarely enjoy open world games, and I'm already annoyed by some of the small stuff; and I know this is a long game.
Finally, QUESTION:
Am I doings something wrong? I'm attempting to start up Mission 08, and it says I should have a rocket launcher - hell, the next several missions do. I've been doing side-ops here and there, and while I don't fulton everyone or even most... I do fulton from time to time. That said, my R&D is at 6... and I need a 12 for rockets. So, am I supposed to just dick around with side-ops and/or open world until I get to level 12 R&D?
Also, I was trying to do a side-op, and I skipped to Mission 11 by accident, just by running into the ruins on my way somewhere else (that power plant mentioned earlier). Nothing wrong with this, I imagine?
Thanks!
Quiet.

This game is something else. I have only just finished the first mission in Afghanistan, it's going to take forever for me to complete. It's amazing.
Is there a way to salute your guys on Motherbase? I keep punching them.
