Yeah seriously, it's so awkward. Did they not finish recording these lines or something? No one can look at this scene and go "Yup that's a conversation, this flows nice, Snake would never have anything to retort here"

That blew my mind because it seems like Snake of all people would have something to say. That could have been a great argument but nope.

I feel like Kojima lost almost all his directing abilities with this. There will be scenes that are really good like the Code Walker intro but then you get Mission 30. There is no consistency to any of this.

 

[Ketch]

Does the game get super framey for anyone else on the emblem customization screen? but only when trying to select words.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

finally unlocked the legendary gunsmith....omg the customisations adds way more depth to the game...jesus

I've done the mission 3 times, did I finally get him for real?

That's why I think something is up, it's so unlike any other Metal Gear cutscene that it just feels so, so off. I cannot accept that it was intended.

HOW THE FUCK DO I UNLOCK THIS?

 

[johnFkennedy]

Anyone else using the riot SMG? I'm having a hard time going back to the tranq pistol after using it. Using it in reflex pretty much guarantees a stun no matter how far you are. The stun seems to last just as long as the tranq too. The only issue is that you have to resupply somewhat frequently because the suppresor wears off.

 

[Aerobatics]

Does anyone know how to change the way DD looks?

 

[Jarmel]

I'm really hoping the meat of the story is in Chapter 2, and it's not so much an epilogue like in Peace Walker, because it's been super underwhelming so far.

QUESTION!

I just used my Afghan Lullaby cassette with speakers ON for the first and only time and it worked like a charm. I had set it in loop while I managed to make 5 soldiers fall asleep but then I noticed the thing stopped playing the lullaby. I thought it was strange so I checked my iDroid.

The lullaby's no longer there! WTF? Was that a self destroying cassette a-la Mission Impossible or something? Or did I get a glitch that erased the lullaby from my cassette library? I didn't see anything telling me it was a one-time only affair.

What gives?

Mission 40 feels impossible, crate trick doesn't work and you have maybe a second between shots :/

Edit: Well, found a cheap way to do it that restricts your ranking though, lol. Forgot that was an option.

This is my enjoyment curve with the game perfectly described:

 

[MMarston]

I'm really hoping the meat of the story is in Chapter 2, and it's not so much an epilogue like in Peace Walker, because it's been super underwhelming so far.

I was hoping for a 'Big Boss turns to the darkside' thing going to occur based on what I've seen in the trailers/intro, but given the nature of cutscenes, it likely won't be satisfying even if it happened.

At the very least, given the Ch. 2 preview we watched and a certain short MB scene I just watched, it looks we're gonna dig deeper into Quiet's background which is something I look forward to at least since she's the most intriguing question mark in this game so far apart from Skull Face.

Anyone know how to find the Conversation Objective for Mission 20? I've tried sitting in all the outposts in the mission for a while and listening to conversations, but it just hasn't happened yet. Is there some specific trigger for it?

Head into the broken down warehouse. There are small blue water tanks spread throughout. When he comes by one of them, shoot one. It'll cause him to disappear for a bit. Call in your chopper for pick up. He'll get up during that time. Do it again but by the third time the chopper should already have you on it and be leaving.

Old age is getting to my eye sight, didn't even see those there. I was trying to shoot down the water towers, Kojima wasn't prepared for my out of the box thinking

[Spyder_Monkey]

It's kind of a shame that the story didn't quite shape up for something that was supposed to link the Big Boss story to the original Metal Gear. But the gameplay is so good it's kind easy to forgive that. What a weird turnaround for Kojima. I do like how they made almost all the exposition optional though. Brilliant move.

You can quick switch to a rifle, secondary weapon while reflex no matter what I think

 

[Wind's Howling]

This game is nothing short of amazing the first 3-4 hours I have been playing it, especially that opening sequence.

I still need to get used with scouting out bases and what not but I guess it becomes easier once you can upgrade your gear and such.

Am I correct into thinking that there are armor pieces and gadgets that make your harder to spot?

Certain suits let you blend in easier on certain types of environment. There's also the box and whatnot, though I haven't actually used it yet, now that I think about it. I use the magazines quite a bit though, but I will try to mix up my stuff a bit more.

Anyone know what the shipping containers on MB are for?

Are they ones you have extracted? What is the effect on fultoning them? I have tried experimenting but the effect is not clear.
