Screw it. This game looks amazing.

I haven't played the other games. But will I still follow what is happening here if I pick it up? I feel like I'm missing out right now :3

 

[hamchan]

Did anyone see the Forbes article that said this game is basically Far Cry 3? That was something.

It kinda is. It's much better of course but there are similarities with the core gameplay of marking dudes, trying to sneak in, etc.

 

[Nori Chan]

for anyone that has the ability to fulton large containers, what's been the highest and lowest number of materials you've gotten from a single container?

7500 was the highest of common metal for me

So is there any indication to head to the medical bay to see the scene or are you just supposed to happen upon it?

Just walk in

Which is it? Happy to help.

Edit: ah! Looked it up.

What worked for me:

Spoiler

airlift the truck immediately after the Skulls appear then run like hell. Skulls should stop pursuit as soon as you're out of the hot zone.

Are you having trouble finding the vehicle?

[Kuro]

Does anyone else think the poop got downgraded? It looked a lot more visceral in the pre release footage. Now it just looks like brown rocks.

EPISODE 29!

So awesome. Loved that mission. I S-Ranked that in my first go. <3 Quiet. Took the final shot just as I ran out of ammo. This game is a fucking blast overall. Great stealth and great action, too.

Spoiler

If it's the SKULLS you're having problems with, there's a tank conviniently sitting right there.

 

[Ōkami]

During a side op a soldier attack me, DD attacked him, soldier toses DD, message appears saying DD is now deceased or something like that.

Immediatly restarted the mission.

 

[Qblivion]

Which part of the mission?

extracting the vehicle.

Spoiler

the skulls are apparently invincible (I killed one with the help of quiet and a grenade launcher and it just refilled its health. I can't Fulton the truck because they shoot the balloon literally before it even leaves the ground. I can't drive it away because they all immediately start attacking the truck once I get in it. I've been trying all of these over and over all day

 

[deim0s]

Got my ass kicked in mission 6 and had to go ahead and enter full combat mode. I still don't like killing people in MGS and I hate the whole scoreboard thing at the end, but at least it only judges you based on getting no kills or not, instead of deducting points for each kill.

When you go Rambo on them, getting hit in return deducts 100 points per hit I think.

are the apcs still near it? When the skulls appear those are vacated, one of them has a cannon on it

More mission 16 enemy spoilers:

Spoiler

I was able to Fulton it in the commotion of them first appearing. Assuming that's not working for you? I agree it's probably one of the more finicky missions.

Edit:

I laid C4 on the road,

Spoiler

blew up the first tank, the truck stops, Skulls appear, I fultoned the truck and then ran for my life.

 

[Coffee Dog]

So (mission 11)

Spoiler

DD totally trivialized this fight with quiet. I still saw the glint of her sniper pretty easily, but DD made it so I never even lost her. Good dog!

DD can die? WTF! D:

I just fired rockets at them when they were clumped together, it took a bunch but it wasn't anything crazy.

[Mulgrok]

Ok, been so long since I last played a game with checkpoints that I forgot how bullshit annoying they are. Getting tired of redoing the same stuff over and over trying to do it without the controls messing up. Using a controller for aiming is pretty awful too. Maybe I should try keyboard and mouse controls.

 

[ramyeon]

The check points sometimes feel really unforgiving. I'm doing the mission to extract Malak and I always seem to get caught after extracting the first two prisoners in the second compound since all the guards I tranq end up waking up. Then I get put right back at the start of the second compound and have to do it all over again :/

 

[KingKong]

Why are some side ops I already cleared added again?

They're super inconsistent. One changed from one continue to another and stuck me in an immediate relex mode from a fucking tank.

 

[EekumBokum]

Why are some of my completed side ops letting me play them again? There is a check mark in the box and everything.

 

[His Majesty]

Did anyone see the Forbes article that said this game is basically Far Cry 3? That was something.

It feels a lot like Far Cry 3 when it comes to capturing outposts and crafting so I can see where that article is coming from.

The checkpoint system can be a little frustrating, yeah. In the mission with the colonel & tanks it saved right before the tank fired at me.

 

[MetalGearOnlineK]

Today I stepped on a land mine, the result was funny / sad:

Spoiler

DD welped and text saying he had a near death experience popped up, I lost some of my bond with hima nd some heroism. Then he was automatically Fulton'd away and Kaz got mad.

Still loving the game, about 19 hours in, mission 14 I think?

 

[xxracerxx]

Because you can do them more than once. Don't bother if you don't want.

Mission 43 spoilers:

Spoiler

Where exactly do I go from here? I've been completing side ops & everything. Nothing is marked in yellow. I got a call from Miller about suspecting Huey of causing the outbreak during mission 43. My bond with Quiet is all the way up. How do I unlock mission 45 & 46?

 

[Rizzi]

Wow this target practice thing is fucking awful.

[RuinerPrime]

They are all super easy except for the R&D one. I had to YouTube it.

 

[Ragingbegal]

Been having a strange issue since launch, Xbox o e. Occasionally, perhaps 1 to 2 times in an hour of play, the game randomly bogs down. Frame rate chugs, sounds glitch, and worst of all, controller inputs seem to get stuck once this bug occurs. So, for example, if it happens as I'm sneaking up on someone, snake keeps walking forward while the game chugs along for a few seconds, which has caused me to collide with enemies I'm trying to grab.

Is this a known issue? Anyone else affected? Any fixes now or planned? I'll try to remember to record a clip next time it happens if no one else has seen it.

This has happened to me several times on Xbox One as well. Can't figure out why.

 

[Tabris]

So I went from getting B ranks on missions to normally getting S ranks once I got my tranq sniper with suppressor (customized it). The pistol was garbage and trying to pick off people from far is what was taking me so long with each mission.

They are all super easy except for the R&D one. I had to YouTube it.

I can't get this one either, I'll need to youtube it too.

 

[Curufinwe]

If I replay a mission and do some of the objectives I missed, do I have to complete the mission for them to save?

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

SLEEP TIGHT PUPPER

 

[Gen X]

Exact same thing for me too. Can only game once the kids are down and lounging with the wife time is over. Game is very "just one more thing" going on. I am about 4 missions in.

It's a real change of life for me, prior to Nov I had all the game time I needed outside of work and a game like this would steal my spare time. Today is Friday arvo here as well but because it's the missus B'day there will be dinner and an early night for *ahem*. Dammit.

Maybe I could get up extra early at about 4am for a little bit. ;-)

Donne with episode 16, the walker and a rocket laucnher did the trick at the end.

Yes.

 

[Gsnap]

So maybe I'm stupid but how the hell do I customize d-walkers load outs?

 

[Nerrel]

Wow this target practice thing is fucking awful.

Finding the targets is the only real challenge. It would have been a lot more fun if they didn't tuck them away in awkward spots all over every floor of the entire rig. Some of them are even wedged behind pipes and I-beams so that you can only see a small part of them.

It's a lot more fun on the smaller rigs, though. On my base development rig I could practically shoot all of them from the starting point without having to move.

invincible. I was stuck on that level for a while but I finally did it by just rocket launching all 4. Killed two with one ammo pack and then I called in a supply drop. That allowed me to kill the other two. You just have to watch out for when they're in their overshield state.

That mission was so frustrating though. At one of my earlier attempts I managed to escape them and reached my extraction helicopter before getting shot down while leaving.

I found her to be pretty terrible early on. You need to just deal with her until you get her bond high enough. Then you'll be able to give her more commands.

I still don't see how.

 

[KorrZ]

Anyone know why certain side ops missions reappear on the list as new even though they have a check mark as though they're completed? Seems to be the extract prisoner/soldier ops only :S
