Quiet encounter
While the boss battle with her was good did anyone feel a tad underwhelmed? I did it at night (not sure if that makes a difference during the day) however it seemed relatively easy I just marked her, popped up shot and repeat. I wish it would have surpassed The End's sniping battle, but feel Quiets falls a little short

I had a lot of fun my first time through because I thought you had to tranq her to recruit her. I only had the WU pistol and a pair of NVGs.

Well, I'm not even waiting for all alert conditions to pass, like I did in previous games. I have not once hid under a bed or in a dumpster waiting for "normal".
I either continue my infiltration while they're on high alert, or I peace out of there for awhile and do something else. Maybe that's what the designers intend.

dear god almighty, lol I at least had my tranq sniper made at that point, I thought bringing her
health down lethally would have instantly killed her, interesting
I'm not even going to try until next week.

Never thought I'd open an OT for a mainline MGS game and read a majority of the posts complaining about the lack of cutscenes. Is this the MGSV Kojima troll? After all the complaining of 1-4 and criticisms of cinematic imitation, he's completely turned the ratio on its head.

you find them either on the open world or mother base and press X when selecting the c.box to cycle through them

I didn't bother. My only advice would be to just keep doing main missions ASAP.
Wonder if it really is the amount of people bombarding whatever server?
That being said. WHOA at the Mist Unit. That is some grade A Kojima right there.

It's actually really easy if you play the tapes about it. They all have something in common.

Ikr. And the so called lack of cutscenes is HIGHLY exaggerated on here. It's just that you spend most time on the field. Then you have people who don't listen to tapes because they are pro codec and anti tapes lol. Seems like MGSV splits the fan base (keep in mind most haven't even beat the game yet). You have those stuck in the past and hate it and then those who love the evolution of the series.
Ok folks, need an honest opinion here, as I'm not sure if I should buy this game.
Background: I've played most of the MGS series, and while I appreciate a lot of what they bring to the table, I've never exactly found them to be my thing, you know? The only mainline game in the series I've beaten is 4(though I've come close on 3 and the remake of 1, but I lost interest).
The main issue for me has been the controls. They have always felt clunky and have really hampered my enjoyment of the series. I like most other things about the series(although I'm not too huge on stealth games in general).
So I guess my question is: are the controls actually decent this time around? The open world and more of an ability to shoot stuff seems like it may be up my alley, but I really don't want to get myself in the situation of buying yet another game in this franchise and realizing that it just isn't for me.

Okay thanks. I'll just keep playing, though. Got scared when I lost a level in some fields. No interest in playing lots of tapes, hah.

Why are some side ops repeatable? Just for grinding?
the controls are by far the best they have ever been and it's probably the best controlled stealth game ever made
game is also the most different from the series without counting spinoffs
go for it
Also when your staff starts getting full the easiest way to deal with it (while you're getting the resources for more platforms, anyway) is to just recruit people with better skills as you keep going, the bad people will get knocked out to the waiting room and you can reassign them or dismiss them easily from there.
Or you can go super repetitive and do the Medical Bay target practice over and over where all the targets are right there and you don't even need to move and get 30k each time, unless there's a limit I don't know about. I did it like 4 times.
I guess, but unless the GMP gains go way up the further I go it's easier to do the short main missions and those pay out huge. Like mission 11 is extremely short and pays out 120k, mission 17 is also very short and pays out 170k.

Just finished Mission
.
What an incredible game, and series... I love Hideo Kojima so much.
MGSV is definitely GOTY. The gameplay was superb and I'm so glad the story delivered too.
Thank you, Hideo Kojima. You are my favorite game developer of all time and I hope you get to realize more of your absolutely insane visions.

I can't believe Metal Gear is finally complete.

Excellent to hear. Guess I'll be grabbing this.
lots of people talking about epic escape with Huey on the mission he's introduced;
uhh, in my case
kinda bummed that I somehow avoided what others are saying was pretty hectic? destroying it was cool tho
maybe I just got rid of all the guys before getting him too or something
goes to show the ways you can change mission outcomes and all

I think I might have had some more LZs cause by the time the Metal Gear showed up my chopper came in like right beside it and I just got in immediatly

If controls are your main worry, worry not. It's the smoothest controlling MGS game yet. Just be aware it's practically the anti-MGS4. Open world, short cutscenes, dialogue mostly via cassette tapes. It's very different but I'm sure you're aware of that already.

The sheer variety the buddies have is really impressing me. I sorta thought they'd all be useless tag-along AI partners that killed enemies occasionally, but they've ended up being hugely varied in their tactical uses. And it's nice to see their equipment upgrades and bond unlocks bringing huge changes and additions as well.
Fantastic stuff.
Probably just a boaster. Hunting for the best leads to a Mother Base filled with them.
Now, here's a useful tip probably almost no one would ever realise (no spoilers):

Now that you finished the game pass by the spoiler thread because the story really needs support over there.

Fuck you. Fuck mission 29. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck everyone.
Fuck you. Fuck everything. First time I angrily turned off the system. I'm so irritated.
Fuck.
I can't do shit. I try to kill the big guys with rocket launchers, and they refill their health.
I can't call in a helicopter. I can't do anything. Fuck this mission.

I was going to say the exact same thing. Wasn't until I entered this thread that I remembered that the other games had health bars. Amazing how that can happen, when you think about it.
And I just had a bizarre glitch related to that, two. I was surrounded by four (enemy spoilers, mission 13)
walkers who were kicking the shit out of me in cramped quarters so that everyone was clipping on each other
Apparently
They can't jump onto the roof of buildings, so if you climb up the ladder near where you start you can just use an anti-armor sniper (if you have one) or a rocket launcher (Be careful not to hit the old dude) and all you need to do is dodge the rocks they throw and deal with their minor gunfire. I however just spammed them with my Rocket Launcher and finished them off with the AA turret
That (roughly mission 10-12 spoiler)
scene, though. So dumb. Fits into what I think is going on with the game, though. Kinda sucks that I figured it out after mission 2, but oh well.
This is what I thought happened to me, and I was disappointed. Then the heli door refused to open, rockets started coming over the next hill, and oh god is that... yes it is! Fucking RUUUUNNNN
Things got quite terrifying from there. It is a terrifying opponent.

This is how I ended up beating Mission 16.
I was kinda concerned about it since I read a lot of complaints about how hard it was, but it ended up being pretty cake.
It's amazing. It's amazing.

I never even fought anyone. I used airstrikes to take out both tanks, had Quiet snipe the remaining foot soldiers and after triggering the Skulls cutscene, promptly backed up and got Quiet to (unsuccessfully) snipe them before figuring out that they were shambling slow enough that I could airstrike them as well. The fact that I never even got my hands dirty made it pretty fun.
It's undoubtedly the best "playing" MGS ever made. I don't know how much harder you'd be making the game for yourself by going loud every single time, but if you have no interest in stealth, all that means is you're now stuck playing an amazing one man guerrilla warfare simulator.
It's amazing. It's amazing.

Another hot tip for those that don't realise it: To set your vehicle upgrades, be sure to enter the customisation screen on the ACC so you can equip your newly-unlocked stuff. Otherwise you'll just be using stock equipment, wasting money on those upgrades.
It took me 33 hours to realise this.
The secret to beating mission 16:

The secret to beating mission 16:
If you only destroy one of the vanguards and manage to halt the target, triggering the Skull attack will make the soldiers leave their vehicles. This means you're free to use the armoured vehicle to kill them. It ends quickly.
Before discovered this, I spent over an hour skating around the map on D-Walker trying desperately shoot them to no avail. I was not prepared for heavy combat on an un-upgraded D-Walker...

Finished that a few days ago, but I'm right there with you pal. I absolutely hated that mission, I almost just gave up on the game right there.
I think my solution was the simplest:
I drove around in a tank, blew up two of them and let Quiet kill the other two
Mission was done in a few minutes, surprisingly fun!
