Today's my birthday and after completing a mission the guys at Mother Base threw me a big birthday party. Got a cake and blew out the candles and everything.
This guy really got into the singing.
Only four candles!
I set up the Birthday to be 3 days after release, to hopefully see something, and this is what I got
Sure, let me blow out this cake while covered in my own? blood.
Even funnier since I just picked up Huey, with a torture cutscene and a recommendation to not let anyone else know he's at MB. Sure, Huey, you can wish me a happy birthday!
Same
so far, I like the game, I'm not loving it. It's obviously pretty good (to me) if I can enjoy it as it is 20 hours in, but overall uh, mgs5 isn't as "wow you need to play this" as the others?
I miss Kojima craziness on a story level more than I missed it on a gameplay level :/
You're supposed to be there, airdrop a tranq gun if you need it.
This thread is honestly absolutely terrible in terms of spoilers. I've only checked in here a handful of times, and everytime something has been spoiled. Like the guy on the last page spoiling Mission 6 for me by labeling it "Mission 5".
I'm the opposite. The past games really annoyed me by constantly interrupting the great gameplay with codec calls and cutscenes. In this game, the gameplay is even better and makes you feel like a total bad-ass, so there's even less need to have constant cutscenes.
Phantom Pain is much more of a must-play than the past games imo.
This is the tactic I've frequently been using. If I get spotted in close-enough quarters, I'll dive at them and land just in range to sweep them.

How you fight doesn't matter. A choice cutscene after determines the fate of the character. Listen to Ocelot. Miller's emotional. Mid life crisis and all that.

Think of all the tools you have and don't...box...yourself into a corner.Don'tBeWeird

Use any sniper - doesn't have to be the tranq one.
45 hours in and I think I'm approaching the final act...I think.

I hope for a mod sooner than later that lets me use D-Horse and D-Dog at the same time. It's annoying switching between them. And I really just like cruising along with dd. He's such a cool companion and pretty smart. Well except for the "stay" command, which never seems to work for me. I love "keep em busy". Keep em busy and then run on up and bionic arm knock outs. It's so cool. Best dog since.....Fable 3?
Holy shit how is this not explained anywhere in the game? It's absolutely essential.
I've been getting into the helicopter every time I have to relocate and it's a pain in the ass. Now I have to go back and unlock all those cargo platforms...
I did that mission 2 times in a row.
You don't HAVE to tranq her. You can try to kill her with bullets and explosions, the game lets you chose a final fate (spared her).
My battle was straight up sniper vs sniper, but I only had the basic beginner version. Just a game of "reveal myself and duck her shot, pop back up and try to hit her."
I ended up climbing a large stone tower and finishing her off from up there. Felt pretty damn epic to me.
2nd time, I used a known gimmick to win, followed up by not sparing her in that last cutscene. This did not override my first choice.

Because if they let you have their guns, you could kill them. There's a non-lethal restriction on MB, remember?
Ah, right, that makes sense.

How do you switch clothes in the field?! I need some battle armor and I'm rocking the sneaking suit.

I came across "the known gimmick" organically and thought I was sooooo clever. Guess I'm not. I'm curious on other ways to accomplish the battle now. Gonna experiment around more when I get so things unlocked.

The game really leaves a lot to the player to discover...which is admirable that it's not a deluge of tutorials etc...but some hints would be nice
I guess even witht eh MB system I didn't think they'd share something similar in the locales.You can request it as a particular supply drop.

My favorite is when i steal a new cassette.
I just jacked some soldier's bootleg copy of Europe's The Final Countdown.
Too fuckin' funny.

Supply Drop an item and go over the the camo/clothing part of the menu.
Just wait for weapon customisation you make a tranq sniper hell turn all your guns into Tranq. DD sniffs out enemies while you snipe guards to sleep
I just completed mission 7 in the stupidest way
Edit: and I got an A for it, lol
I got discovered at the beginning, killed 1 of the commanders, another said the meeting was canceled. He and 2 other guys got out of their jeep and started running into the desert, I stole it and ran them over. I went back to the main area, interrogated someone for the location of the 3rd. Got it, he and some soldier were hiding behind a box so I rammed them twice, then drove away.

When can I start making suppressors and do weapon upgrades? I can't find a way of doing it at the moment.
Support heli? Hell no. Enjoy those A's and below.

Aw man....
Quiet spoilers (I don't think so but safety)
I love giving her a Silenced Tranquilizer Rifle, getting her to fire at will, then just sneaking/running around mopping up the area while she knocks down anyone who gets in the way. So good but pretty OP.

You sonuva....How dare you deprive a soldier the pleasure of the best thing to come out of Europe. It's all they have left to look forward too.
Everytime I hear it I think of Gob.

How do you disarm with mouse and keyboard?
Of course it's a pointless move but it seems like it would be fun to try. I remember doing it in Ground Zeroes once on accident and never figuring out how.

The "catch" to the box fast travel is that the outpost can't be on alert, so you have to sneak in to use them or murder/tranq everyone.
And there's also the matter of unlocking the delivery points of course.
But it sure as hell beats driving from one side of the map to the other, or wasting GMP by redeploying.

I've read from you guys theres a cut scene at motherbase I dont want to miss?
I've just done episode 5, so if at all possible, could you tell me when I need to make sure I see it without spoiling?

Do whatever the CQC punch is, and hold the aiming button (Right Mouse) while you are doing it.
I don't have it on PC, but that should work. Is CQC the left mouse button?

I've not tested it but I'm pretty sure that might be morale for each individual member of diamond dogs.Sorry if it's been already asked, but does anyone know what this is exactly? Is it like their life bar or something?

Punch once and then hold aim.
I wish I could use the mouse wheel to control sneak speed. It bugs me so much.
