Yeah, I play MGS for the story. I'm still having a blast with it. I think I've kind of given up on getting the MGS experience from this one though. Peace Walker's story should have been the true 5th installment like it was intended with this being the side-game or whatever you'd want to call it. People complained about the long cut-scenes from from previous games, so I guess people got what they wanted.

Damn, that cutscene when
when Big Boss talks, he's amazing.
you first bring Quiet to Motherbase,
I didn't. MGS has sucked since MGS3. That was the last great one for me personally. There is such a thing as balance, and MGSV took that and threw it into the sun. Much like MGS4, just in the opposite direction (although I might have been more lenient with MGS4 had I not found the story so terrible). It's just one disappointment after another for 7 years.

Question about mission 13 or 12?
when you get the walking armor with Huey and get chased by the huge metal gear, I got Huey out of there, but left the walking suit behind. Was there a way to save it? I am assuming not... Also is there a quicker way to get a vehicle besides getting stronger fultons? Thanks!
oh you sweet sweet summer child...
Found the Take On Me tape earlier. (New heli music.
We're the Kids of America! Woah-oh!
Im sure my gunship, playing that as it rains down death, confuses the fuck out of the Rooskies and the Mujihadeen alike.

Here's how that turned out for me:
I was on my way for a Side Op when she spotted me in the ruins and the battle started. I quickly realized that I needed a sniper rifle and one that had tranquilizer rounds since I didn't know if bullets will kill her. I moved all my men through divisions to ensure I meet the requirement and developed the tranquilizer sniper rifle. Called it via Supply Drop and decided to shoot her merciless.

How do I get
The Final Countdown song? It's playing right now on the medical platform but how do I get it?

A couple of questions... Might be something obvious I'm not seeing.
1. How do you keep track of which animals you've caught? It doesn't seem to tell you in the log.
2. How do you see the skill of each person you capture in the motherbase staff log? I was alerted to something about troublemakers causing trouble if they are alone and now I'm paranoid haha.

mission 12 is legit as fuck
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Here is the first mission where I went guns blazing, you really gotta take out comm towers before you reveal yourself really or else reinforcements overwhelm you. Sorry for the bad aiming in the beginning lol, first time I used an AA gun in the game.

You find it in afghanistan in the mountain village place, the name of which escapes me.
I hate to say how much I completely agree with you. MGS was my unquestioned favorite series for so long. After 5 hours with MGS5 I dread playing it. It's the complete opposite of what I want from MGS, which is a linear, story-driven game.
Not until later in the game, and you decide to replay the mission, and you have Fulton + Cargo 2
Its good to see everyone is hitting Quiet tonight. I know there's still so much left in the game but I am already liking this game a tad more than MGS3 at this point. The thing that sold me was the Mother Base Management and the detail. I won't go nuts explaining because you probably already know if your at Quiet but holy crap I was sold once I started to get all the different Unit types. I really am digging the Mother Base management so hard.

It's easier when you just accept the series has evolved. Each game is different. Solid Snake's story is way more in depth than Big Boss'. The majority of Snake Eater's cutscenes were in the beginning and end, with the majority of the middle being all gameplay.

Do not engage them. Lots of people say to use tanks or middles but I just sprinted out and let quiet snipe what she could.
I didn't figure it out from the get go either, after developing it it's just a different key when choosing a tape so instead of hitting play on the Walkman just hit the other key to set the song. (look at the menu prompts bellow for the key/button)

Open the iDroid. You will see a yellow dot on the player who is a specialist or elite. Their name will also change from "Russian Soldier" to "Specialist".

It isn't little. It is a normal sheep that actually I think was a ram. It is in a small fence with two guards on the far end of the town.
I'm somewhat torn on this game now. The first third of the game is amazing, a promsing start to the game. However, at about
the game starts to drag slightly and the plot begins to meander slightly, which is quite annoying.
The gameplay is making me come back, although the story is starting to annoy me (I'm at
)
I really would like to try out the online portion, but either I keep getting D/C'ed from the servers or they are down for maintenance.. I just want my FOB
Episode 12-14

I dunno, it's really annoying. I assume it's loading.
It's Cinematic
After exfiltrating the hot zone you can just choose "Return to ACC" from the menu instead of calling in a helicopter pick up though. That cuts out half of the helicopter rides I was taking.

It begins to meander? I'm still enjoying the game but the fucking plot has meandered since the very first episode. We got crazy shit in the prologue that went on for way longer than it should and then literally nothing.
I'm assuming it's loading some more. It's kind of annoying. The game really seems to know how to waste your time in a few ways.

Spoiler tagged purely for relation to your progress so far. No story spoilers at all.
I have bad news, things are going to go downhill, very hard, very fast. I was actually still enjoying the game then but what comes after, well you'll see. Unfortunately though if you're in it for the gameplay, all the best stuff has already happened. The missions won't have the depth they did before. I can't say much about story since I'm only slightly ahead of you, but the gameplay nosedives hard very soon.
I would love to know this as well I have the same problem.

Doesn't that just erase mission progress? Since it does say that any unsaved progress is lost..
Look for someone with the 'Troublemaker' skill. Either dismiss them, or pair them up with another troublemaker so they keep themselves busy.
Sometimes I feel like I'm playing a completely different game. Ive definitely felt like I've been getting a steady drip of info. Right around the time I ran out of cassettes that were filling in little holes I hit mission 12 which opened a whole new side of things as well as dumped a whole bunch of new tapes to listen to.
That said I'm main lining the story and doing side ops only if I happen to wander into their zone.

RIGHT?!
I know the GZ canon is pretty much non-applicable at this point, but another thing that makes this absurd is that they mention they removed some of her organs to fit the bomb (in one of the GZ tapes that you can recover), and that she would probably only survive for about 24 hrs, but that was ok because she only needed to survive enough to blow up.

check your personal records. Some people have Troublemaker as a skill.
I had one dude Spitting Wasp, his Troublemaker trait was that he was unsanitary. Dude was so nasty that he hurts the health of his entire unit. dude had to go. You have other troublemakers who start fights, and others who pass on PTSD...I guess by telling stories?
If you get out of the hot zone and Miller comes in and says "Good job boss I love you boss" then youve cleared the mission and can leave at your whim. I found myself sprinting out of the mission area or driving out more than I called helicopters to get out though.
afaik you get new shaders, colors and emblems

They'd be soldiers with the
troublemaker skill. Tip: Put two of them in the same unit and they'd be occupied with each other Or put soldiers with the "Diplomat" skill with them
But when you continue a saved game that's in the middle of a mission there's no issue...so it seems it's on purpose.
Ah man thanks for that tip.

You can trigger it but I tried just going there as soon as I heard the soldiers talking about it and it was a big waste of time. Your adventures will lead you into each other not far down the line.

I have not once connected to the god damn servers no matter how often I try. Good job Konami. I couldn't buy your shitty coins even if I wanted to.
Starting to wish this was a more traditional Metal Gear game. There is a lot of tedium in this game and riding a horse past thousands of rocks is starting to get to me.

The real story of MGS5 will be the massive backlash it gets on this forum after people begin finishing it.
