Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
A gold cassette icon popped up while I was in the chopper, I didn't press anything, dialogue played and it disappeared. Did I miss something?

Do you guys shoot the radio comms stuff or the generators? I want to but it always puts the enemies on alert so I'm not sure. Whats the benefit of it?

Quick question that i'm sure has been asked a million times already:
Do you ever get the option to replay missions? It's a no-brainer with this game's structure.

The cassette icon is just a shortcut to the cassette menu. Yellow ones seem to be more directly related to story stuff while white ones are more optional.

I turn off the generators. Usually gets them to come inspect it so I can coast on by in the dark or set up some mines.
I blow up the comms. Maybe it has an impact on the range of people they can call? But I'm not sure. I know blowing up one type of tower lets you drop your plane right into the base with no shit in the way.

I'm no expert on it yet, but I think the people jumping to the conclusion that the horse in Red Dead controls better are trying to ride D. Horse as if it were the horse in Red Dead (or Zelda for that matter).
There's something going on there where it controls appropriately like a Metal Gear character, movement primarily with the stick to position it carefully in close quarters.
The square button isn't actually something you mash on like in Red Dead or Zelda.
It could well be the lesser horse, but I'm not yet convinced its not just people with preconceived notions about how a video game horse controls.

Oh is that the only difference?
Regarding cassettes, is there any way to easily tell which you've heard before? Or a way to pause them while they're playing? (For instance when other dialog plays over them... during most missions.)

Main missions yes, but only certain side ops are repeatable

Just select the mission again and you can replay it.
I don't think shooting them does anything, but I think blowing them up can make it so that the post you're at can't call for backup.

i think i saw this mentioned earlier...what happens if u get an error message about saved data and it tells u to delete it. Going back into the game just gives a black screen.
on xbox one btw

I surely hope The Phantom Pain have a great story with a few twists.
What I really want to see is how Big Boss turned evil, the whole Les Enfants Terrible project which sees the "birth" of Liquid, Solid and Solidus - and maybe a timeskip to when Solid is grown up. But I at least expect to see Big Boss' transition, and the birth of his sons.
PS: This thread is moving fast.

But Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the best one in the series.

Just started quick question
was there any point in the avatar creation. Will my big boss look like the dude I created?

Why don't you just play and find out. You're setting yourself up for spoilers if you ask questions about everything.

From what I've been told you can't. That's only in PC I think.

This is a curiosity of mine. Was MGS2 your first metal gear game?

D: I was just curious. Didn't know there would be numerous spoil tags with it
Big-ass Ramp
hella bullets that's true
well that opening certainly leaves an impression
No.
Metal Gear Solid 1 was, back in 1998.
I have been a huge Metal Gear fan for ages, though Guns of the Patriots kind of ruined it for me, so I skipped Peace Walker, which I am playing through now at the same time as The Phantom Pain.
The camera when you mount D-Horse is starting to annoy me too. I hope they patch it but I'm sure they won't.
Sounds exciting. I'm at this mission now.

You need level 34 of R+D and level 34 of the medical staff, also a lot of money and other item that it's kinda spoiler.
I got it today, after 51 hours of gameplay.
I still got a ways to go then, thanks for the info.

So I played this goddamn game for almost 15 hours straight today. Fuck.
I love this game. And the funny thing is that I absolutely hated Peace Walker.
I guess I really didn't mind all the base stuff, I just hated PW's half assed simplified gameplay.
TTP is the complete opposite. It's by far the deepest MGS gameplay wise. Keeps a lot of the mechanical hallmarks of the series while either innovating or streamlining them in a very easy to use way. It plays really damn good.
I also assumed the worst when I heard about the lack of cutscenes and Snake not having a lot of dialogue, but I'm at the 10th story mission and I'm satisfied with what I've gotten. If that keeps up I'll be happy.

Until you get a tranq sniper the easiest way is to
run right at him then quickly run back to bait him into swinging at you, then simply run back to him and CQC flip his ass for instant knockout
I feel like the scoring in this is way more forgiving than GZ. I just did mission 7 I think, ended up screwing up my carefully planned sabotage, being spotted, having a firefight and killing everyone, then went to kill the last guy at a different base and got killed. I respawned, sniped the guy, and still got an S rank. That's a lot of room for error.
No. Absolutely not.
I play Metal Gear for the story, the twists, the bosses, the characters, the backgrounds, exposition and details. I play it first and foremost for the cutscenes, and then gameplay. Metal Gear Solid 2 did it best, while Snake Eater had a great balance and pace.
