I was sitting in a run-down building after accidentally triggering the attention of 3 guards. They were slowly converging on my position and all of a sudden, the helicopter that I called for support a minute ago radios me that it arrived at the point. All of a sudden Fire by Jimi Hendrix shows up in the distance and the guards start freaking out. In the middle of the confusion I picked off a handful of them and ran to a goat I had to fulton out of the area passing the mission.

This game plays well and all but.... I don't really like playing it. I dunno, I am basically forcing myself to go in. It seems every little thing bothers me to no end. The mission objective thing bothers me, long travel distances, having to listen to tapes, constantly going back to mother base and just everything. Even now I am sitting in the chopper idle because I just don't want to do anything on offer.

You don't have to listen to tapes or constantly go back to mother base. I haven't been to MB a single time since mission 2 or something.
I'm honestly not a huge fan of listening to tapes either but doing it while traveling between destinations and gathering resources is pretty relaxing in between tense Ops. So far I haven't had big travel distances but maybe that changes late on.

Can you crawl over landmines and get them the old fashion way?

edit- After taking a shot to the face, yes, yes, you can.

Does really enjoying a game while simultaneously feeling like it's one of your biggest disappointments in a while make sense? That's honestly what I'm feeling the more I play Phantom Pain.

Makes sense to me. I'm getting let down more and more the further along in the game I get.

I can't agree or disagree yet, but I really get what you're saying.

If this was a new game I would be blown away by everything (aside from a few annoying quirks). But as a Metal Gear game it just is not hitting the right buttons... I don't know, it's like I keep waiting for the game to actually start, with a long ass introductory cutscene, total gun fetishism, and hokey voice acting. It's just missing a certain something the other MGS games had.

Can someone explain how to use quiet as a buddy. She won't follow me on the map.

Go the the far right idroid menu and use the buddy options, either set a location to scout, where she'll zip off and scoot around the ara before finally sitting on a perch, or use the (attack) option to just sit her on a perch of your choosing with no scouting.

Yeah that's my reaction to it also. It isn't what I wanted, but what it is isn't bad and I'm curious to see more. I don't know what my final opinion on it will be.

Basically where I'm at. I love the way the game plays but the scenarios are uninspired and repetitive. The fun comes from the way you tackle stuff and stretch the mechanics, but that can only take you so far. It gets more and more grindy over time to the point where I'm bored now.

Man the references to classic MGS lines delivered by the new voice actors are really bad....

"Kept you waiting huh?" as well as Ocelot's "you're pretty good"

It's like.... don't even try it. It doesn't work.

Arrrrrrrgg. I screwed up. My finger slipped and I did something at the end of mission 11 that I did not mean to do. I cannot go back to the last checkpoint before the mission started. It's over.. Is there any undoing this?????

Oh god. That's terrible. Uhh... I really hope there is. D: Good luck.

Starting to feel like this game just is not for me. Like for Side Ops, I'll try and bang a few out but The nearest drop point is so freaking far away from the mission and the map in a lot of places won't let you cut over the mountains so you gotta follow this road forever, avoiding guards and what not only to get to the mission and take 30 seconds to complete. I feel like i'm missing something.

I even find the main missions tedious, past 2 I played I had to look up a guide to figure out what the game wanted me to do. The
Honey Bee
mission, I integrated like 20 dudes and got within a room of the objective but never figured it out till google the how to. Then the next mission, the
Top Brass or whatever it's called
i'm chasing around red circles on map for 2 hours with little to no feed back but as soon as I peak at a guide I beat it mission in 10 mins.

To me the open world hurt this game a lot, gonna keep playing to see if it clicks with me but i'm about to toss in the towel on this game.

Any one else have glitched side ops? I've completed all of the ones I currently have available, yet some still show up bold with a check mark, indicating I haven't played it yet...

Replaying them fixes the issues temporarily,but the just pop right back up.

I can't believe how perfect it turned out, I couldn't come up with an interesting emblem and the default DD one was boring, so I figured I would bring back MSF's logo along with Diamond Dogs, much like how the GZ Sneaking suit has the FOX logo and also MSF's logo.

I'm pretty happy with it, I'm pretty sure the sizes are all just right.

FUCK MISSION
29

I don't understand how I'm supposed to kill four of these indestructible fuckers. I know I'll eventually beat this mission, but it won't be due to skill. I'll get lucky and exploit bad AI. They keep shooting me from a distance/throwing giant fucking rocks at me that I can't dodge.

I stand by my simply stated summation:

I'm pretty sure it's an incredible game, but I'm not convinced that it's an incredible METAL GEAR game.

Snake Eater is still GOAT.

This is the worst Metal Gear game in my opinion.

But at the same time, it is probably my GOTY.

I'm getting it too, I don't know if it's a glitch or that some side ops are available to play again after awhile but it is annoying how they are counted in the number of side ops to do. They are still listed as complete though.

Lol

I'm in the same boat for the moment on GOTY status (we'll see, but so far it's looking good)...but...worst for me would probably be Peace Walker (i.e. Monster Hunter grind fest with metal gears).

Wait, the flipping game is unfinished?

Just reached the ending...where the hell is the story and resolution to anything?
Click to expand...

Probably the reason no one is responding is because very few of us have beaten it at this point. No idea how you did!

But anyways without seeing the ending I am under the impression there is a true ending to unlock somehow?

You can definitely dodge them. Or shoot them before they throw them.
