Speaking of annoying gameplay quirks, when you fulton a container, the hit box remains in place until it's gone completely. Went into reflex mode from a guy on the other side while a container was being lifted, shot at him, but the game thought the container was still there, resulting in me hitting some non-existent barrier and getting alerted.

Yep it sucks, I always end up taking cover on the invisible container before it is gone.
 
how the hell did I miss this?

anyone who thinks hayter can't still do a more subtle, MGS1-esque solid snake voice is crazy.

Erm, he can still do it. There is video evidence. His normal speaking voice is nothing like the Snake voice, so it's not surprising he can still do all those voices including MGS1 Snake.

That's what he said :)

Anyways, all things considered, I actually really enjoyed the twist. I don't get the notion of it ruining Metal Gear 1. If anything, I think it was a cool retcon that actually makes sense and it really didn't bother me.
 
"[Extreme] Backup, back down" annoys me.greatly. No way to cheese the mission has opened in my mind and I am exhausted from the time of night and the numerous tries. This terrifying mission is the last one I need to S-rank to aquire the dedicated achievement, there is no choice but to continue my endeavours tomorrow by painfully slowly laying in ambush and picking everything at the last hill between long spaces of boredom. At least there is no need to care about time and effience anymore when only the optional mission taks are left to be achieved. I am looking forward to use all the pesky rank-restricting tools.

To share a bit of information not everyone may know that I aquired from a lot of stupid actions I took to aquire S-Ranks in various reasons: when you are on the back of a truck and a tank follows that truck, it won't fire on the truck when you are standing on the load area - it will however shoot when you then lay down in it. The driver themselves will forget you no matter much and you can jump out and raise a new alert when sprinting again into their fron viewfield. They won't however stop longer than a short second and I found it impossible to fulton the truck with this method. Furthermore the tank will also fire on you when you are running in front of the truck that is between you and may hit the truck. Although the hitbox is smaller as it should be and I never actually got the tank to destroy the truck even with half a dozen hits. It was fun though having it destroyed by mortar fire while sprinting in front of it since the mortor aim roughly where you are when they fire instead of looking for the route you might take.
 
I'm right and everyone else must be wrong.

lol k I guess me saying "I don't see how some are incredibly salty over it." is a bit much. I can see why people are dissatisfied and have stated myself what I found wrong and missing from the game. Dont mean to detract negative criticisms or anything, there are definitely flaws here, and its actually been enjoyable to read those as well. All in all its over, just saying I would rather enjoy the last moments of the franchise than be mad about what went wrong. Again it does remind me of MGS2, personally, I remember how pissed I was after beating that game when it first came out. In retrospect, I think its one of the coolest video game story packages ever told ('packages' because of its reflection on everything revolving around the game at the time as well).

This may be sort of what you're doing, but for that mission if you pick the northenmost spot to start it puts you next to a road where every required vehicle will pass. Have D-Horse and a tank. Put one on one end, and one on the other and just extract the targets when they stop in front of the obstructions. It takes the whole time given, and there are a couple of semi-tricky spots, but it's definitely doable for an S rank. Just a lot of waiting around. Someone on here posted a tactic that was a lot quicker, but I forget what it was.
 
They should do the mission 51 dlc in which after the outbreak Venom Snake has started to see the world differently and for this reason he now has decided to follow the true justice.
Pure justice it's not a good thing. If the kids don't want to be better people, then they are a potential danger for the future, so they should die before they can grow up. In this way we have not saw the Demon through the game, but we can see it at least at the end. Maybe even with the ghost of skull face that remarks that some of his meme has rested in Venom.
 
My anger about the ending has finally faded.

Now we enter the disappointment stage.

Just completed Chapter 2. Dafuq is my closure on Eli and Saholanthqjqudnxleoeopus?

Just finished Quiet and Truth. I for one thoroughly enjoyed everything, and having not heard Quiet's theme before I was pretty blown away. Great payoff for all that humming.
 
On youtube. Did you rike it

On youtube. Seriously.

The game bridges the gap between MGPW and MG1
Leaves big cliffhanger ending with Eli and Salantrop...Metal Gear

Youtube Mission 51 or pop in the Collectors Edition extras blu-ray



Holy shit really there's more? How do I unlock it? I assume it's an absolute job or I wouldn't be told to youtube

Thanks, still sounds really annoying. Maybe I can find a quicker tactic tomorrow in the internet.

So if the wolbachia turns male into female, so does that mean that the wolbachia changed chico into quiet?
No, Code Talker explicitly state that it doesn't change the gender of the human host, because humans don't change their gender naturally. They "just" get rendered infertile.
So who is Sniper Wolf's Saladin?

Big Boss or Venom.
Kurdish Snake of course.
 
Dumb question- is Quiet not impervious to the vocal parasites she carries? So her speaking English is a death sentence for her, not just anyone nearby?
 
If she couldn't speak, couldn't she just send big Boss a text message or a facebook message "brb cant talk IRL cuz WOLBACHIA :("


Logic: 1
Kojima: 0
From what I gathered she didn't want him to know she was infected with the English strain because venom was really the only one who trusted her and she didn't want him to know that she originally had traitorous intentions. It was a very emotional reveal. Almost childlike in her admission to code talker and the way she swears she would never speak English. A touching moment for sure.

I think the thing is, she don't know and Code Talker doesn't know either. In any case it's too risky and she doesn't want to get Big Boss or herself killed on accident.

cut content

Which is why we are all heart broken.

Bad game ok we can deal, but not allowing Kojima to finish his last game when you know it will bring in numbers off legacy alone is heart breaking. Especially when you have him locked away on radio silence having to patch work an ending together instead of allowing him and his team to finish the game properly.
 
Embrace the disappointment.

No it was cut from the game

I'm being serious

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN A WAR WITHOUT END

OUTER HEAVEN

I just cracked 90 hours, and it won't get closure? Well, damn...

That's one reason why I love how her story ended. It's a rare form of subtlety from Kojima. We know that she is making a great sacrifice in the end simply by speaking, and that at best she activates the parasites and it means she can never be close to any person ever again from fear of the infection spreading to them, and at worse she herself dies from it. We will never know for sure what her fate is, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

right.. She was worried about the mutation from the radiation.

They had found a way to stop the infection but the radiation triggered a mutation causing people to die regardless of the language and "vaccination"
 
I think what bothers me more about the Quiet/Code Talker Navajo thing is the black ink spots around their eyes. What does it mean???????????????? I listened to every tape and I don't think that old bastard said shit about it since it didn't have to do with microbes banging
 
If we ever get the cut content in form of patch or DLC, it will salvage the story in every way for me. If plot holes are left, so what? Every story should have a beginning, middle and an end. Even Ground Zeroes provided that much.

Well, ultimately the gameplay carries the game. Whereas past MGS games were meant to be enjoyed for their stories first and gameplay later, this one is polar opposite of that.
 
Don't worry you can imagine a better ending in your head than what Kojima would have given us.

I'll take a bad link between the games than no link.

Metal gear with each release has been 30 years of fan fiction.

Just tell me some stupid shit happened, let me see Young David and call it an end of an era.

At least I can be critical over what was, instead of what never was.

I know people are upset that the likes of this, Quiet's fate and Miller's possible blindness (maybe cataracts, maybe not) are up in the air, but it was always these mysterious aspects of Metal Gear that I enjoyed more before the likes of MGS4 tried to answer every everything. So I'm glad there's things we will never know. It's a blessing in disguise.

That's just how their parasites look when active I think. "Those who cover" are a parasite strain which covers their skin and replaces their internal organs or whatever, so they don't need to eat, etc, and they have special powers depending on the strains. It's how Quiet does her cloaking. Who knows what powers Code Talker has. Hamburger powers maybe.
