Haha, that's a good way to think of it.
...Still can't half the time. And Snake's VO only makes it worse.

Mission 12s difficulty spike was a bit jarring. I cleared out the power plant before the mission start to have it all respawn after. That was a bit annoying!
I used C4 to destroy the jeep, the 2 soldiers hopped out while it was on fire then tried to hoof it to the destination while the tanks quickly outpaced them, and I tranqed and then extracted them.
I then took the armored vehicle you can steal through the side path to the place from mission 6 which is where the tanks end up going and destroyed them from the cliff, and none of the soldiers had any situational awareness and could identify where the shots came from that blew up 2 tanks. Ez
Have you finished at least mission 13

I did the legendary gun dude mission. How do I do weapon mods?

Why does he wear the mask!?
Yeah I love taking my time and scoping the place out. Means I never S rank it though but that doesn't bother me, can re-do it if I ever want to platinum it.
EDIT: I stuck subtitles on, so can tell between kaz and ocelot quite easily
A question about mission 7
Will this influence anything in the story? I'm worried about my chances of
I killed the three targets and got an S, but at the end of the mission Ocelot tells me that we'll never know what they were saying in that meeting.
getting the true finale since i never read the requisites for it.
Yeah I can't believe there are people who have beat the game already :lol
Mission 5 took probably that long for me too (even if I thought I was really clever when I found a crack to climb which got me almost right to the objective). Mission 6 has taken even longer and I'm not even done with it.
I love the mix of short and relatively simple side-ops and long, epic main-ops so far.

EXACTLY sometimes he just slips out of the accent and starts sounding like kaz. Usually during the scenes with kaz in them. It's bad. I thought I was getting used to telling them apart but 30 hours in and it still confuses me sometimes.

Was about to get me my C4's (in the middle of the road) when...

I used C4 and my grenade launcher for one, and then used an armored missle launcher vehicle thing to take out the other. Sadly the explosion took out the commander I was trying to Fulton.

Anyone know exactly how individual recruits' skills upgrade? Is it based on combat mission or experience over time? ex. if they're veterans they get a skill boost?
There's one recruit with a special skill I'd like to use in the field but their other ratings suck. Wondering if I could "train" them up.

Beat it on PS4, had a ton of old gift cards laying around, thought I'd go 360 for a second playthrough.
Curious how it holds up.
Is this like replaying on European extreme mode?
I got one of them. Didn't have enough for the other so I used a mortar launcher.

My framerate dies whenever I enter the word editor for emblems... so I removed them.
The blackest of black ops--that's how Diamond Dogs roll.
I think they're forever bound by their base (white) rating, but with high enough morale they'll get a (green) boost to their ratings, giving them an effectively higher rating altogether. It won't do much for E- or D-rank soldiers, but highly ranked soldiers will see huge boosts.
I left D-Horse in the middle of the road to make a jeep stop and the guys inside to tell it to shoo and instead of doing that they just ran him over and kept going. The tank behind them decided to stop though.
D-Horse was fine, also. Guy is tanky.
That's mission 9, mission 8 is the convoy one with the 2 tanks and a jeep.

Nah, that's madness. I used my rocket launcher and then stole a even bigger rocket launcher from a truck as the mission went on. Got a S in that mission too!
hahaha no mercy these trucks I tell ya. Could have been me in that box too!
Oh my bad. I used that anti armor vehicle for that one. Easy stuff.

40 hours into the game, and I had no idea there was fast travel. Not even an explanation or tutorial pop-up explaining it.
I was nearly spotted by a guard in Afghanistan after dismounting D-Horse. Thankfully, he was fascinated with D-Horse and chased him ("Shoo! Shoo!") around the perimeter of a rock instead of looking down at me.
He is dead now.

Ok, yeah, that makes sense otherwise there's really no reason find specialists in the field near the end game.
I'll just have to go hunting for high ranked folk!
Oh god. This game is just a masterpiece. With where it
and Ive literally been playing SOLIDLY everyday from Saturday and it's nearly been a week and I've been doing all the side ops when I get them and I'm only just over halfway through them I believe...
What will be painful though is S ranking and completing all tasks... I've been doing every mission not wanting to kill anyone and because of that, some missions have been literally TORTURE to try and get through, hopefully S ranking will be OK with kills
I think I'll be playing this game for quote a LONG while from the looks of it. Well done Kojima and Team!
"sorta makes you think it's the end" I would have been quite happy with that, (If it wasn't for the unanswered questions), in terms of content and length, but I know there's still more missions to come!

Struggled particularly with retaking the platform and the skull face mission

Haha Kaz is so dramatic it makes me cringe. My girlfriend wanted to see the game I was so excited about, and she walks when he's all "There's no room for angels in our heaven". I'm top embarrassed to show her "Played like a damn fiddle".

Holy shit at mission 30. This game...
currently at lvl7, idk but I just redid a side ops, I know for sure because I got a trophy for it yesterday.
today I could do the same mission again, same place, same goal, same everything
It's not that it didn't register the mission the first time, I ran into
on MB yesterday
wtf.
also lol tried to rescue a prisoner, raised alarm in the process, still picked him up, tried to escape, people shooting at me, barely made it out alive, finally safety, time to fulton him, no fulton icon, wtf, .... he's dead

Apparently you can protect your favourite soldiers from being killed or kidnapped if your base gets invaded, how?
Keep playing, happens later in the game.
Shouldn't take long. I'm not sure if it's based on completing a certain numer of missions or fultoning a certain number of solidiers. Maybe the latter. I'm on Mission 6 and I've unlocked MB expansions a little while ago.

Oddly enough I think my biggest gripe with MGSV is the fact that all guns are fake guns, it makes it hard for me to distinguish between the different types of rifles and guns. And there are only a few that use existing body types so I've literally just been referring to them as "the first assault rifle" or "the tranq pistol" or "the rubber bullet smg/rifle" but it feels weird man.
I liked having real weapon counter parts, made it easier to identify things by shorthand.
Also it's a bit of a shame since MGS has always been great with it's real life weapons modeling.

So I was stuck at work all day having just got to play the first two hours last night. Next mission is mission 3. I was going through the prologue in my mind, trying to work out what to make of it, all the hallucinations and stuff. Then I decided to watch some Ground Zeroes cutscenes to refresh my memory about how Boss actually went into his coma (because the way I remembered it he pulled Kaz out of MB and they got away).
All I can say having rewatched GZ is wow. Just wow. I had to go back and watch the prologue to MGSV again. (Also I think GZ's final cutscene was better than anything in TPP so far but it's real early.)
Alright, I've got my caribbean pork marinating for dinner in an hour... let's get to mission 3!

Oh shit you're right, I hadn't even connected the dots like that.
You'll only use about 5 of the weapons anyway, probably, so it isn't a big deal.

Judging by the performance so far, it might as well be.
