I'm on like the 3rd or 4th mission and sometimes the game glitches out and slows down or I lose complete control of my character for a few seconds... it's really weird does this happen to anyone else, is there a fix? I've restarted the game (Xbox One).

Also how many discs is the 360 version?

Ok regarding Side op 48
how many darts do I have to put in this friggin bear? Shot it ten times and it didn't even flinch. Come back later with upgrades?

There is a rock near him you can climb but he can't, so just pump him full of darts from there. I hit him with the full 21 darts and the bugger fell asleep just as the supplies were falling from the parachute, so it's possible to wait it out.

Is it worth developing a parasite suit? That requires me to extract a Skull, right? How would I even do that?

God this game is amazing. Going to do a quick check in with Mother Base. The camera is zoomed up on Big Boss's fucked up face, dramatic music is playing. Shit man, war is fucking hell. Then......we're the kids in America whoa, we're the kids in America, whoa. Four of my soldiers are saluting in formation as I land and in the middle of them is puppy DD. "Thanks for saving that puppy Boss!" I love Metal Gear.

I am getting worried. I keep sending these massive amounts of Russian guys back to my base and they automatically agree to start working for me. I think they are going to band together and destroy me soon.

One of the tapes explains why they are so quick to join you. Not a great explanation I guess but it gives some context.

Asked this before, but does enemy preparedness ever decrease? Or is it essentially a way of increasing the difficulty without an explicit selection?

I don't know why it felt so fucking cool doing a mission with a random soldier instead of BB, it kinda felt like our forces were goddamn badasses, especially because the mission went perfectly.

I always view it as a combination of admiration for the legendary Big Boss, thankful that he didn't kill them, and "Hey, I'm really really good at Intel stuff! Too bad my army has me guarding a road!"

So Kaz and Ocelot have even more lines in the game? fuck no, let people find out on their own :p

That's the thing with this game, there is a ton of stuff that never gets explained and imo that's a good thing, too much backseating is not fun.

I killed a few of the armoured ones with lethal weapons and it still let me extract them. Their bodies lie on the ground for a bit after you kill them and you can extract like anyone else.

I don't know if glass windows alert guards, or have a very high alert radius, seeing as there's no option to slide a window open to enter.

I seem to recall breaking a window and not really getting a guard reaction, but that might have been just one time.

Yeah, they don't notice the glass breaking. I guess it saved them animating opening a window or something. It always makes me laugh in the barracks, there will be a guy sleeping and I just burst in through the window and he's still snoring while I put a bullet in his skull.
Click to expand...

Yeah it's quite strange, he should be like....wtf is happening, but instead nothing happened at all for him, lmao. An option to open windows would have been nice too yeah.

These guards have some funny shit to say at times. Just now two guards were talking about some psychopath who liked to shoot people in the head with sleep darts and that it probably would be a good idea to start wearing helmets, cause you know...right now he could be watching us, he said. Haha.

Ayyy mission 16
I goofed around so much in the beginning I finally got intel telling me the location of the truck and Kaz keeps telling me its almost left the mission area. So I get on my 4*4 and drive so fast cutting shortcuts to get there. I finally see it and its being escorted from behind by one of those armored vehicles. I speed along side it close to all of them and finally dive out of my car. Right when I rolled in the ground I equip my missile launcher to take out the vehicle behind it and at that very second the scene triggers with those things jumping out. Oh man this nearly made me shit my pants. Some trippy shit there. I am really enjoying the way these missions are designed. Most of the stuff is very unpredictable. Props to kojipro its very well done.

Also I am now used to not reading any beginning credits to the missions. As soon as mission starts I turn to my phone and just listen to what Kaz is saying for about 30 seconds hehe.

Glad it wasn't just me I don't know if there is anyway to fix it, should be something that Konami will patch.

question regarding buddies
I've found DD and tranq'd Quiet. Do I need to do anything else to unlock them as buddies or will it just happen over time?

Also, has anyone got the iDroid App running?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Is there any way to start the game disconnected by default on the PC, or do you have to manually disconnect from the menu every time?

What's the deal with the mission where I have to recruit an African translator? I can't seem to find him anywhere, the interrogator is just sitting in a room not doing anything.

Edit: Never mind, done it.

For some reason I was stupidly excited to unlock Stun Grenades after staring and lusting after them for so long ahaha.

I also played some more on my PS4 copy of the game since I am much further on PC and I think I'm somewhere around ~30 hours between the two now.

I thought it would be boring replaying the same stuff but I actually find myself really and truly engaged by the game and the story. This feels like the best elements of every Metal Gear game evolved to what feels like the penultimate iteration of what the series has been doing since its inception.

I really must applaud Kojima and his crew, what a game to go out on. I still lament Silent Hills but hey, I just hope he goes on to create more games with a company that values his creativity.

The way I did it was
flank her by stealthing around to her sides and shooting her with the tranq gun from a reasonable distance. Alternatively you can just shoot her because the boss battle ends with you either saving her or killing her.

Is there a list of tips and tricks collated by the players that you could otherwise miss? Non spoilery stuff ofc.

It's a door on the lowest deck. You'll have to go further down from where the lowest helicopter landing spot is. Circle the ground floor and go down stairs. Using the Night Vision goggles might help.

Enemy wanted to kill my POW, they dragged him outside the camp about to shoot him, my suppressor is gone meaning if i shoot now i alert the whole base so i throw a decoy, the two guards turn around, i grab the POW and get the hell out before they realized. Run to the chopper, mission complete.

THIS. GAME.

I think it's one of the prisoners from the palace area. Either that or a guard (find out by interrogating a few).
