So I think I just finished the game and oh boy... my head is going to explode.

I have a few questions and I'm sure they have been answered but this thread is over 300 pages and I'm dead tired. Also I haven't listened to the tapes you get after beating the game yet.
- Is there a second ending? The story with Eli and Mantis wasn't really finished.
- Where's the scene with Paz they showed in trailers and even during the "coming up next" thing after first chapter?
- We do not see Zero in this game? :(

-The Eli and Mantis story is in Episode 51, which was cut content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B4JIHh5Jqk
-The scene with Paz is in the medical bay on the third floor of the medical platform.
-Zero isn't in the game but his voice is in the Truth Record tapes.
 
Thanks a lot for the quick replys guys! Really appreciate it as it's a bit over 4 am and I really need sleep before "tomorrows" lectures :|

Its on the blu ray that come with the CE.

The video that's on Youtube that is.

Oh word? I need to take a look at my behind the scenes disc then! Didn't think it'd have anything juicy like that.
 
The Paz scene music is one of the few tracks on the OST that strike me as genius. It sounds like something out of 'A Beautiful Mind', it's a really good piece of music.

But so much of the music is forgettable. I can't remember what played when I fought Sahelanthropus. I can't remember what played when I was infiltrating OKB Zero. Or fighting the Man on Fire.

The Paz music, the Skulls theme (Parasites), the main theme (or at least the core melody) and the last half of the music that plays when you escape with Huey.

And the twist, yeah, when I first saw it I saw it purely in meta terms and it wasn't that bad. I saw Big Boss, the MSX and thought "I see what Kojima's doing". Then I realized that the twist explained actual story events, like Eli's blood test, and I hated the twist for intruding on the canon.

I agree with a lot of this. I haven't listened to all the OST fully but some songs i've had on repeat as a result of liking them so much. The OST is a lot more "subtle" maybe? I don't know. I feel like it's more typical hollywood in a lot of regards but it's also a lot more subdued compared to previous MGS soundtracks.

It works for me on a certain level given the tone of the plot itself. MGS1, 2, 3, 4 and even Peace Walker had OST's that matched their tones perfectly. I'm still trying to figure out if 5 fits the tone it has set well or not.

Also, a side note in regards to the Paz scene. As much as I didn't care for Kiefer's performance (didn't think it was bad, just an unnecessary change) I really liked his single "NO" in the final Paz scene. That accompanied with the music and framing of the scene really hit me in a way that I didn't expect. Especially as I didn't care for Paz as a character. It also worked for me on a meta level as I feel like we were supposed to be invested in Paz emotionally and hence that's our grief as opposed to BB who was up for taking her out in GZ....

And from the Peace Walker tapes and what not I got the impression most of the men got along with Paz. Hence why the Medic might have had that reaction.

Sorry, i'm waffling on a bit. It's just nice to discuss the game with people who have finished it haha.

Where are all the easter eggs this series is known for?

Threedogg is right, 60% or even more is just optional stuff nobody cares about.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE STORY KOJIMA?
The reaction i've been waiting for
giphy.gif


All joking aside it seriously sucks that this happened because of development issues at some point. Mainly because the gameplay is really fun. That Diamond Dogs vs Metal Gear fight would've been a really good full circle method to tie into MGS1 boss fight, even has the same reference. Both VS and Eli say "it's not over yet." :(
 
It's Peace Walker with less story and more shitty missions.

Sound about right. Its more fun to try different tactics than in PW though. It seems like Kojima wanted to make a console version of PW and came up with some bullshit story to fit the mold and sprinkled in whatever themes he thought were compelling on top. Even the cut ending was exactly like PW with a child on the base taking control of the metal gear.
 
Man showing Paz these photos is bumming me out. Formidible spy turned bumbling schoolgirl. Of course the fact she survived is weird bullshit in itself.

It's also making me miss the goofiness of the old mother base. And the clothes she's wearing in the hospital makes me feel ashamed for Kojima's deeds.
 
You know, I love Peace Walker, but I've always disliked the whole "The Boss AI" thing.

But this game has renovated my love for the previous ones, including the silly AI thing. Compared to the twist in this game, Robotic The Boss is pure genius.

That first part - for quantity? Yeah. Quality? Very debatable.

yeah that's why i said less story, rather than anything about the quality
 
Did someone say flaming unicorn?

Kojimalives just posted this.

edit: I guess it's a Black Hound :p

On Friday I'm gonna make a twitter account called KojimaDies and I'm gonna post a bunch of shit that is tangentially connected to the game and you better post every single thing I tweet here with how it connects to two phantoms born from FOX and how Snake stopped 9/11 in MGS land or some shit.

Cool, will you make a Youtube account posting previously unseen snippets of footage as well?
 
what the fuck is this ingsoc shit /v/ is exploding about


That pretty much sums it up.
I'm gonna bank on the fact that this is just crazy MGS conspiracy theorist fans being crazy MGS conspiracy theorist fans. Though the bit about the fanbase feeling a Phantom Pain over the cut content that was supposed to be there, if not intentional on Kojima's part (and I don't think it was, because intentionally crippling your product just to be meta is way out there even for him), is a pretty funny coincidence. :P

There's only one cool story easter egg we know so far, I think only MGS fans would realize it's an easter egg otherwise it seems like randomness.
 
Well I unlocked mission 46 finally. Didn't have to beat all the missions, nor did I have to beat all the side ops, nor did I have to listen to all the yellow tapes. It just randomly unlocked after a side op.

I'd already watched the end, so no big surprise, but I can say I'm done with the game now. Will probably play it a little bit more, but after 86 hours, I'm burned out for now.
 
What was the page in this spoiler thread when everyone found out about the mission 46 twist

I must read the prerelease reactions

I honestly don't think anyone remembers, it went so fast. But try pages 60-70 that's when people started posting pics of real Big Boss.

ed: Oh nvm, 71 it is.

LOL the reactions are so amazing looking back, so many disappointed people.

Don't do this to me. I won't be able to take the disappointment if this turns out to be fake.

On a related note: Does anyone think the PC version was originally delayed (past 9/11) because of all this craziness? I know there was an article saying KojiPro LA worked hard to get it ready, but could this be why?

Yeah they do. In the Airport mission where you have to assassinate some guy there were 2 in the back. There is also an extreme version of that mission.

The "Ground Zeroes" connection is easier to make with the episode 51 NYC shot and ingsoc on 9/11. No need for whacky Z stuff.
