Thanks!

So I'm up to mission 8. I think.

Anywho, the briefing says "Recommended Weapons(s): Missile". What does that mean? Should I develop a rocket launcher or is it referring to something else? The UI for this game is a little overwhelming tbh.

That would help, mission spoilers:

Spoiler

a vehicle which shoots missiles and has a very capable hand canon will make itself available later in the mission.

Yeah, 'missile' is an odd choice of word, they mean rocket launcher.

I did it with a grenade launcher.

Friday I'm In Love is in a game set in the early 80's? Ok.

Jesus Kojima, at least go with A Forest since it was out then.

So if we died on 22, what do >_>

Open the Main Ops and select Mission 22 again.

You get to do it over after your current mission iircc

 

[MMarston]

You know, for all the crap we give to how character development/interactions took a hit in this entry, there are few glimpses of brilliance in terms of family dynamic and bonding, notably with some scenes involving Quiet or Eli.

 

[Lelcar]

You can restart it. If you interrupted mission 21 to do 22 and then you die you'll be put back into mission 21. You can just abort it though and do 22.

Thanks, will do after 21

Get the

Gray Xof outfit, it's the full military suit from the opening of the game.

Personally I don't have a hard time ignoring her outfit.


It's definitely a completionist thing when you need to fulton/find everything, it gets rough having to recon on top of that.

How do you unlock that one?

I've been playing since Tuesday and I'm only at Mission 10 / 9%. I spend a lot of time on side ops and kidnapping everyone in sight. That shit takes time.

 

[Jintor]

Just made it to Africa and MAN did they amp up the guard's suspicions and field of view without giving you a damn reason. I thought the rain and foliage would give me more cover than Afghanistan did but I guess South African PF's mandate contact lenses or something.

you're wearing the wrong camo maybe?

I thought I was slow, lol. I'm about 38 hours in, and 19% complete. I think I just did mission 14.

She'll leave you supplies when you have her scout larger bases.

Damn that is cool.

...How? I'm 40% at 40 hours in

I am a completionist who is going for a no kill run (when possible) and all S ranks, first MGS game I have actually sat down and played too, I have done all the side missions multiple times to just improve my overall gameplay.

I spent this entire evening of around 6 hours doing one mission because I didnt do it to my own specification, I do not like shoddy stealth.

 

[Meffer]

S-Ranked episode 7. That felt awesome!

 

[Bsigg12]

So what's the deal with using the butterfly emblem?

[RetrospectiveLamb]

Very happy that Take On Me plays every time I get picked up by the choppa

 

[Dubz]

Just S ranked Mission 16. That was a great mission.

This is my GOTG so far. Gameplay and attention to detail reign supreme.

It sounds like

you can't trigger the mission if you have the emblem set though

, so can you actually avoid this happening?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Ugh mission 30...

Spoiler

Everyone, all 500 people in this base, are cloaked in armor and Quiet can't even get in here. I guess this is maximum stealth mode but the tranq gun is useless here...

 

[Teknoman]

Anyone ever use shotguns?

 

[Jarmel]

Spoiler

If you listen to the tapes, Codetalker mentions the word Kikongo like 10000 times.

It's not the solution but the fact they do it in the first place after you spend X amount of hours picking people up.

It's irritating to high heaven.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Nope. XD

I'm sure they have their uses, but they just don't suit my play-style in this game.

 

[EroticSushi]

How am I suppose to know who to

Spoiler

Quarantine

or not?

 

[Death Metalist]

YO, DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT A BLACK CARROT IS?

Anyone?

Oh wait, never mind... Miller has told me about 428 times.

Weird, with me he only told me about the plants I haven't collected. Once I did, he never spoke of it again haha.

Well just got through the credits.

Spoiler

is chapter 2 as good as it looks or should I expect disappointment?

Spoiler

Great story beats, focus on doing side ops and leave the repeated missions. Don't expect anything so that you won't be disappointed.

It seems to me that most people didn't listen to Codetalker's tapes, he mentions the word Kikongo 1000 times in those tapes.

If you really want to know (it's annoying otherwise) -

Spoiler

Anyone who speaks the language of Kikongo. Quarantine them.

 

[OniBarubary]

So I finally beat 16 and S ranked in which makes the literal smallest possible sense to me. I ran into the area and as soon as I reached the truck (fuck you liars, you still fight

Spoiler

4 Skulls if you do it in the Air Force Base

) I lead them back to the side with the anti-air gun and proceeded to cut those motherfuckers in half because a rocket launcher OBVIOUSLY does less damage then bullets. Meanwhile while I was doing that Quiet had taken out every single other soldier with headshots from 15 miles away so I just drove the truck out and over the landscape.

I also beat the legendary

who should've been the real last boss of this game, I believe. Seriously, he

punched me off my D-Walker and ate my face.

 

[Primethius]

It was pretty easy for me to figure out (surprisingly). The couple of tapes you get plus the members in there only have one similarity.

 

[Permanently A]

Man, kidnapping every guard and stealing all of their shit is just satisfying.

 

[Augemitbutter]

Anyone ever use shotguns?

i would, but they kill!

 

[funkystudent]

Was about to get though a story mission perfectly with no alerts, reflexes or kills.

Then as the chopper came in I go cocky and tried to take on a bear with my tranq gun and it did not go well for me.

 

[Squishy3]

You can always research the riot shotgun!

Where's the option to get the iDroid to talk through your PS4 controller? My friend said he did it, but he's terrible at explaining how so I can't follow his instructions.

I agree but at the same time

Spoiler

seeing my recruits die and the whole thing felt like The Thing which hit me in the feels and made me feel a sense of urgency haha. Thanks to side ops I have double the recruits now.

Believe it or not, it's an R&D upgrade lol

 

[dominuece]

Finally did the early game mission

Spoiler

with the honey bee

at around 20 hours. I love this damn game.

I enjoy the cassettes but always listen to them in the ACC or on Mother Base. I handle business with the tunes, though. Oh, and the sound of the safety strap when getting on and off Pequod is so good. *zip-click* Let's go fuck shit up!

 

[Animator]

Guys I need help with quiet

Spoiler

how do you get close enough to her to tranq her? She always disappears and drops a grenade. I spent two hours on this but no luck so far. Can really use some advice.

 

[xxracerxx]

It is in the controller options I believe, not in the audio options.

I love taking out bears. Pop em in the head once or twice and then book it, it won't follow you if you put enough rocks between you and it. Repeat 3-4 times, the bear will eventually fall asleep. Same strategy works on the Legendary Grizzly Bear side op.
