Just another disappointed face rolling in. I finally beat all of the story missions.

I thought this game was supposed to be "BIG." So much smaller than I was expecting. So much shit I was expecting to see that just didn't fucking happen. I don't think I've been this disappointed/upset since after seeing The Dark Knight Rises.

I wasn't really Big Boss, I was just some random fucker pretending to be him. So fucking awful.

Also really upsetting that I had to watch the actual ending on youtube. Chapter 2 was a joke.

"I did it! I took revenge!"
 
You know when you think about it, Venom is totally a way for Kojima to actually hand this series over to someone else now.


Like, it could totally go on some tangent spin-off series and Konami can do whatever the fuck they want with him. This is especially because he is such a blank slate.

Eh, they can't really. Venom is still a part of the Big Boss mythos, we know his end and his legacy.
 
So uh help please,

I'm at a total loss here.

I just did mission 43
the laboratory one that ends with the "we'll make diamonds from their ashes"
and I don't have any yellow dots anywhere.

How do I progress?

I've done all available side ops.135/157 with no unchecked ones open right now.
I have no cassettes to listen to.
I've done every story mission except the total stealth / extreme / subsistence ones.

My mother base is has each platform at at least level 3 with 2 at level 4. Though after mission 43
my individual unit levels dropped below 40 again

I am not using a butterfly emblem

and all of my buddies are maxed out except D-Horse.
 
Venom looks like a damn WWE CAW.

You made him godammit. He's a CABB.

Do anything you like. Repeat side-ops/missions or the harder missions until it pops.
 
Anyone else name their character "Big Boss" at the beginning?

Best moment in the game when Ocelot hands you the passport with a "new name" and it reads Big Boss. Felt like a genuine, silly MGS moment.

Kojima made the story about you creating your own story about the legendary Big Boss, that's why Ishmael has two eyes because have YOU, THE PLAYER, ever seen Big Boss? I didn't think so.

Fuck. I need time to think.

I named my Character Soild Snake.
 
Cool, when doing side ops do i have to actually extract via chopper for it to "count" or am i fine to just return to acc by the pause menu?

You can just finish them and if something needs to pop up, it will.

Eg, I finished a Tank Unit side op and as soon as I fulton'ed the last guy, the screen went black and Miller's Comms came up saying i need to report to mother base ASAP and the game took me there.

The game's real weird about mission progression.

Alright makes sense i've had those transitions before. Guess I'll just get some guys back that I lost after mission 43.
 
I don't think the Naked Camo for Snake (seen in the TGS 2014 presentation) is in the game. Naked (Silver) and Naked (Gold) are, but the standard camo isn't listed in the guide

Those Naked uniform you mentioned are for Quiet. Venom's Naked Camo is available for every uniform. Just press left on the uniform tab.

I see. There is a Naked Gold and Silver camo for Snake, but you have to fulfill certain criteria (obtaining the Master Certificates to unlock them), but I didn't know about the left prompt. Will amend my list.
 
I love how they took the crippled otacon clone from peace walker and turn him into the most hate-able character in the entire series. Huey went from being a bro in PW to being a backstabbing, nutless, and pathetic gendo ikari clone with a urinary problem(lol). I was always kind of off putted by otacons backstory from mgs2 with his sister and step mom, but after playing MGS5, i thanked the lord for giving huey the punishment he deserved. fucker deserved every bit of cucking otacon gave him(or his wife LOL)

thanks otacon. you da real MVP

So he sent me huey's tapes 5 and 6 and uh now it's back to nothing again? More missions till something else triggers?

If you're not triggering the next main "mission" keep doing side ops. If you've got a mission but its not a yellow marked one, still do it. That should unlock the next set. Or just do a few side ops and it should do it that way.

There's no specific trigger for events as far as i know, I just did missions and side ops mixed together and only really had to do 2 side ops the one time I didn't get any new mission before it triggered.

Big Boss pissed himself in the Prologue?

Cool Kojima!

It's an IV bag, the camera does a pretty specific zoom on it to highlight the point.
 
Wow.

Just finished the game.

That ending. I have a feeling they originally intended to use David Hayter for the epilogue scene for Ishmael/Naked Snake but due to releasing Ground Zeroes they had to use Keith for both Naked and Ahab / Venom Snake. You can tell their voices are slightly different though, Keith was very assertive and loud as Ishmael / Naked but very quiet as Ahab / Venom.

I wish I picked a better avatar too after that ending lol. I'll have to replay it again with a character that looks more like Big Boss from MG1.

It answered 2 out of the 4 big questions I had - Who was Ishmael and what happened to him? I knew there was something special about him. Then the second is why Eli / Liquid's DNA didn't match Big Boss.

So here are the threads still remaining:

1) What happens to Eli / Liquid with Metal Gear S (I can't type that entire thing lol). I would so be interested in Eli / Liquid's forming of FOXHOUND story.

2) So which Big Boss is which. I know the MGS4 Big Boss is Naked, so I assume the body from MGS1 and the enemy from MG1 and MG2 is Venom?

I replayed MGS3 and played MGS:PW and GZ right before MGS5. Now I get to start my replay of MGS1 > MGS2 > MGS4 and I'm excited to play it with the new information from MGS5.

Yeah alright god what a strange progression system. I guess they thought I wouldn't have done all the side ops so I'd actually have new stuff to do. But since I literally only have the extreme and total stealth missions available it was a bit confusing.

I'll just keep redoing side ops tomorrow to trigger the next part of the story.

If you've got the extreme and total stealth missions available, do those too. They count as numbered episodes as well.
 
Ishmael had the feel of Big Boss, I'll give him that. More than Venom ever does.

Still no S rank soldiers other than the gift ones from story missions. Where the hell are they? Still never seen one in the wild with 200k+ heroism.
 
Wow.

1. Mission 51. Cut from the game. I am on mobile, but there's a video knocking about from the CE with incompletely cutscenes and art

2. MG1 is Venom, MG2 is real Big Boss as per timeline at the end.
 
Wow.

2) MG1 - Venom, MG2 - BB.
 
I just saw the Kotaku article on the Mission 51.

I have a feeling this Mission 51 may be a DLC?

Sounds like Konami pushed it out the door to stop Kojima spending anymore money. I don't think it would be on the blu-ray if it was going to be DLC, but I wish it was.

Who's body is in MGS1 you think? No horn but it may have been removed.

And I should have waited until the credits were over before I posted lol. It answered half the questions.

Possibly, but it wouldn't make much sense for them to stick just about all the story from it on the extras disc if they planned to make it DLC later.

Are they required for progression?

I'm not 100% on this, but since they DO appear as numbered episodes, i'm gonna go ahead and say yes.

Someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

There's a big difference between MGS1 and MG1. What we are talking about is the MSX games which came before Metal Gear Solid.

Man it was hilarious to see my player created simplistic avatar with zero facial expression pop up in that cutscene. That shrapnel especially looked out of place because his face was so clean and plain.

Then there was the name, I picked an online id for it and it shows up on the back of the photo and the passport Bog Boss has, along with the photo of my avatar.


I just couldn't help myself from laughing in that scene. What if my player avatar was a black dude? Why would BB has my player avatars name and face on the fake passport lol
 
I don't think 51 is DLC. They wouldn't have showed it if it was. With Kojima only there a few more months I doubt we'll see much more than cosmetic DLC. I think all parties involved want to wash their hands of this game's development.

I'm not 100% on this, but since they DO appear as numbered episodes, i'm gonna go ahead and say yes.

Someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

You're wrong. You can do any missions to progress the story at that point, side ops or extreme variants.

I found a couple in the Power Plant location, but I think it's just random. I'm going through all the side ops and occasionally I'll stroll through a village and quickly tag everyone to check, a few pop up from time to time. 367,000 heroism if that makes a difference.

I'm almost certain it does, I know it affects volunteerism. Since getting my heroism so high most soldiers in the field have at least one stat at A or A+. Had a few multiple A++.
 
Man, it makes so much sense now that Venom Snake has little reaction to hearing Mammal Pod while that would put Naked Snake through a tail spin.
