Big Boss having a nerdgasm over his pistol in MGS3 was priceless. Is that "hold you pistol with a knife" idea practical, or is it dumb as fuck, and that's why it was ignored in V?

Pretty dumb. I think he maybe got better with just his hands?

No. Clearly he went into the door in the hallway. Venom lost sight of him and started following the wrong guy.

It's weird. You'd think if it was effective the Mgs3 start screen would be using a knife and gun in their animations, but it's all empty handed I think.

That's a different guy you can tell by the bandages, Ishmael's are a bit singed from the first encounter with the man on fire.
Uh.. How I fucking wish the game had been more like GZ. That game was thing of beauty. Good intro, good pacing and great ending. On top of that you could replay missions/side ops and get more info about Chico/Paz/Skull Face and generally about the base. On top of that each side mission had some background and wasn't 100% useless. The gameplay was great and I had s real sense of exploration and finding new ways to do go from A to B. The area was so well designed. I would loved if TPP was 10-15 of GZ.
Is the open world a fail though? Nah, the absolute worst offender for me was the pacing. It's absolutely horrendous. It's downright a fucking disgrace to any game ever and much worse considering its MGS. The story is there but it's delivered in such a clunky fashion that by the end I just wanted to be done with it. Chapter 2 is easily the worst part of any MGS game to date. I'm not even talking about the story itself, but rather the presentation and pacing. There's zero excuse for not letting me continue the game and finish it, but nope I had to do side ops missions because reasons. Not even yellow story related missions, just more junk.
On top of that there is zero build up to anything. Suddenly skull face is dead. Suddenly Quiet left MB and boom done. It's downright cringe worthy because she wasn't even a good character and suddenly I'm supposed to care for end that "ending".
Then there's the real ending where you play the intro once again. At that point I almost couldn't be bothered and I skipped most cutscenes except the important ones.
All in all I could live with the story as it was, but the god damn presentation and pacing makes me shake my head. It's just dumb through and through in such a way that I didn't even enjoy myself by the end.
As a gamer this game was fucking awesome, as a MGS fan Im super disappointed.

This shit was even dumber.
That looks like a pre-release image. Did he really hold a knife with an m4?
Yeah he did the M4 was a CQC weapon.
He did during some cutscenes, but not always like that in the actual gameplay.

When you aim your assault rifle without a foregrip, he really does hold the barrel from above with two fingers while holding a knife.
Yeah it's basically a magic knife. Keeps disappearing and reappearing, when you're not aiming the knife isn't there.
I was really annoyed by how little Snake spoke in the game but after the doppelgänger reveal it makes a bit more sense from a lore perspective at least.
One thing that caught my attention early on and colored my impression of Snake for most of the game, was that he never said "Kept ya waiting, huh?" to Miller when he arrived to rescue him, not even after when Miller straight up asked Venom to say it.

Anyone else wondered why there are deployment missions in south America?
I mean, if it were the resource collecting or recruiting ones I wouldn't care but the ones to disrupt stuff like supplies of helmets/cameras/whatever in the area?
It made me think I would be able to play there at some point...obviously that never happened!
I assume potentially cut stuff...that rumored "Peace" 3rd chapter maybe...

I think someone said you could press something to have him say that line? Haven't tried myself... Weirdest moment for me was the car ride with Skullface, say something please! And I missed the "you're fired!" from peace walker, Sutherland's recording is even in the sound files of the game...

Wut?
Also, Peace Walker had combat deployment missions as well. It's nothing new, and doesn't scream "cut content" to me.

1 day real time, or in-game?
Yeah, I would've preferred a couple of GZ style levels instead of the open world and Mother base stuff. The core of MGS V is absolutely amazing and it's a shame most of it is wasted on such uninspired level design.

in-game I assume
I haven't created a nuke yet, but my friend said it was in-game, because he needed to leave his console on.
(OT: I wonder if this post will get filtered out by the NSA, because I wrote "created a nuke" =P)
In one of the early tapes Kaz said that when they pulled 'Snake' out of the coma he was full of Venom, but I can't remember which one that was.
Pretty stupid though when it's Kaz constantly clamoring for revenge and Venom is borderline comatose.

Oh, fair enough. There's normally a little symbol if it's online. At least I won't have to leave my console on.

I have a question regarding S ranks.
Do they require you to complete every sub-objecive?

No, most S-Ranks are tied to the time you need to finish the mission.
Edit: But you need to do every sub-objective for 100%

Well I totally fucked up.
I realised I didn't have the butterfly emblem yet, so I took Quiet with me to unlock it. But by doing so I maxed out her bond, so when I returned to the ACC I got the call from Ocelot that she was gone.
I'm pretty annoyed right now, I went straight back to Mother Base and fucking ultra-punched everyone on the Medical platform.

Yeah. If you wanna go 100 %, just do the S-ranks and then use the stealth camo and cyborg ninja outfit.

Where do I get cyborg ninja outfit?
And you're saying to use those specifically for the the sub-objectives after I have the s ranks?
Kenzodielocke
Banned
Yeah, because it is easier to that with the stealth camo. You often have to listen to some guys and follow them. It makes life easier. I don't know how I got the Cyborg Ninja outfit, but I think you have to do every main mission and then develop it.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
I s ranked it last night.
Extreme Back Up Back Down is harder than mission 45 to s rank for sure. To s rank 45 you just need to not die and not take forever.
Indeed, Venom should've been Miller actually, his personality I mean.
Skull Face kept saying they were both demons, that they lost their humanity etc but Venom was a legit good guy in my game ... he did NOTHING cruel and evil.

I was mostly ok with the timers but 24 hours?
Unbelievably bad game design. What are you doing. I can play an entire Final Fantasy game in that time period.
You can cheese that easy.
Go north of the supply post and sneak in, one of the tanks is posted there and stationary. Get in and fulton. You need to not shoot a single person as you need the no trace bonus, but it's not very well guarded, so that should be easy.
Go back to the pickup point, phantom cigar until the timer runs out, call the chopper and leave.
It's server time at least, so you can just come back to it tomorrow and have it then. Pretty sure at least, will find out when I get home tonight as I started it and it had 21 hours to go.

I wanted to see venom's hand forced to do evil stuff. Then eventually he just does on it his own because he believes he's already gone full evil. "Demon"
Instead he's a genuinely good, though quiet, character.

Wow...Would a higher R&D level reduce the development time?
Something made mine quicker. It started at 21 hours rather than a day, so maybe.
Level 70-odd R&D.
What page/post number is that for the 100-post-per-page sect?
You're already a demonwhat have i done
Half that. So 15 and 35
