You know, without Kaz or Ocelot constantly spewing plot at me during a mission, this became a lot more annoying.
Like was it worth downloading a mod to get her back sort of thing.
still love her snip snap sniping tho <3
Remember when everyone complained about how OP Quiet is? and now everyone wants her back.
I don't, actually. Sure, she was helpful, but I feel I overused her. Without her I can at least try to grow some balls and do more stealthy missions. Seems that the game had to force me, but I'm ok with it.
Not going to miss her, not from a gameplay perspective, and certainly not because her inexistent character development.

To me, even if I wasn't going to use Quiet (I did) completely removing her from usability is a very bad decision, especially since you only get 4 buddies. Other open world games manage to get around this sort of plot/gameplay issue. I wouldn't care if you could still use her but storywise she was supposed to be gone and honestly it peeves me a lot that I can't use her.
I just enjoyed seeing her run around during missions. It was like having a friend. Mostly silent protagonist and completely silent companion. If only they let you ride D-Walker with D-Dog, with Quiet watching over you...
And into the sunset. That's how the game should've ended. No reason at all.

Alright my dudes, what's the secret to S ranking a quiet exit?
Because this mission is literally hell on earth.

Fully upgraded Killer Bee maybe? I had to use the MR launcher become of damage dealt.

The only strong feeling I have after playing this game is my hope that Stefanie Joosten gets a chance to be in something better. She deserves better.It's not about needing Quiet, it's about needing Quiet.

You got me. I died over and over and over again. Somehow I got an S rank. I have no idea why though.
Now I want a Metal Gear themed Advance Wars game.

Yeah that static shit sucked.
I think they may have known the missions sucked ass. I failed 20+ times, used the chicken hat, fire support and a sandstorm and got an A. I think you can only get an S if you do not use restriction items.

I am gonna try deploying with a tank and seeing how this goes.

Generally, bits of both. I've always found Metal Gear to have scenes worth returning to and fun gameplay to boot. I probably spent more time in post-game with Peace Walker than I did up to the end of Chapter 5. Honestly, with Episode 51 being cut, I'm simply too dejected to want to return to the story missions at all. Yeah, 51 doesn't answer everything for most but at least it's AN ending and wraps up a story arc which started within V itself. (I've always accepted, enjoyed and LOVED everything about Metal Gear - but I can't accept the way this one ended. Especially with the damn Phantom Episode being on a bonus disc screaming "It's not over, yet!") But the gameplay is so perfect that I'll eventually get over it and enjoy the missions that are there, whether that bit gets patched in or not. Anyroad, with that diatribe out of the way... XD
The War Economy is a great choice. I like that the Dante Carver clone is just a soldier doing his job, despite not being in agreement with his higher-ups. Mission 23 is probably my favorite. Being restricted from using lethal firearms can add a bit of challenge (despite an already non-lethal play style). Removing child soldiers from the battlefield, gaining boatloads of Heroism followed by a hand-to-hand showdown with Not-so-subtle Liquid is amazing.
You killed everything really quickly. S is based primarily off speed, right?
EDIT: I tried deploying the most durable tanks I had, and they would just get targeted and destroyed post hate, even if I wasn't in them.

Yo with D-Walker fully upgraded I don't even need Quiet anymore, he does everything she does plus he let's me ride him... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

MGS2 is the most replayable to me, there's just a shit ton of little things in that game that you can miss and I always find something new everytime I replay it. Same with MGS3.

posts Joosten gif and "needing her" and then proceed to refer to her as friend...
I think you mean waifu. Don't betray your feelings. She was designed to be the perfect sniper waifu. I can't blame you for falling right into Kojima's plan. It's like a catchy pop song. You can't help but nod your head to the beat.

I find MGS3 is the most replayable but that's probably because it's my favorite and I love it's systems.
What are your guys opinions on miller btw ? People saying he is a great characfer makes me feel like im missing something but something about his voice actor and certain things he says and the way him acts makes him the worst 'codec' character for me. Felt about the same way now as i did when peace walker came out

More than likely it was speed. I had a fully upgraded honeybee, and I used so many continues I knew where everything was going to be.
edit: here's a bummer for side objectives. I guess since you're technically in alert the whole mission, stealth camouflage doesn't seem to work.
I'm indifferent on him. He was boring PW and he was worse here. The only time he was somewhat interesting was in MGS1, and that wasn't even him.
he is constantly channeling bale's batman.

i find mgs2 the most replayable, tanker and plant are done pretty quickly plus the VR Missions and Snake Tales give you content for days
MGS1 and 3 are the most replayable for me. MGS2 really bothers me with all the forced Codecs and the boring "switch over to nanocommunication because we can't be bothered to animate this whole scene".
Yeah I totally relate to that, just can't get over the camera. :/
This wasn't a problem before MGS3 Subsistence though, since I must have replayed the Tanker demo like 100 times.

1 hit kill tank shells still 1 hit kill tanks.
It's the worst. So much interrupted gameplay.
I think the most metal gear sentence ever is whenever the titular metal gear is mentioned, and the protagonist is curious about it.
"...Metal......Gear????"
Because you don't fucking get a single "mother base" cutscene nor companion cutscene.
So basically you replay half the game.
And by half , I mean that part left is full of fillers, so yeah, no.

Miller's entire character arc happened between GZ and TPP. Or even during GZ. He became a vengeful asshole after MB got blown the fuck up in GZ. Then even more so offscreen when he lost his arm, leg, and vision. There is nothing else to his character after that.
The only memorable character rising had was the senator. Because of just how stupid his character is even in contrast to the rest of the ridiculous characters.

Oh fucking come on, you wouldn't even know who she was if it wasn't for this game.
The sheer amount of patronizing and 'let me be ashamed for you' mentality going on in discussions I have seen is sad.
She loves the portrayal of her image and character within the game and has stated this on her videos and twitter hundreds of times.
The ironic thing is, the people who claim to be tired of female characters in games having their agency undermined by 'needlessly sexy designs' are doing the same to Joosten by saying that she "secretly probably hates it." and that "a gig's a gig" along with other such tripe I have read.

The only cutscene worth rewatching is "whoooo?!" anyways.
Are we gonna complain about the lackluster story and then turn around and complain that we can't see the lackluster story cutscenes?

MGS2 is the best to replay for me because of one reason. It was the best game to torture the poor guards.
Explain.
Yeah, but then he became an inconsistent asshole in TPP and also just started suspecting everyone. Only time i've ever bloody liked miller was him with snake and master miller, and even then it was liquid impersonating him
Kinda bad when i enjoyed a character the most when it wasnt him, i just find him the only character ive ever found completely annoying, which makes Peace walker and TPP almost unplayable as he has to talk every five seconds

Yep tank didn't even last more than 2 kills.

So what? After listening to her in the game and outside of it, I think she has potential, and I'd like to see her used in a game that actually taps into her abilities. This game doesn't at all, and in that respect, it's a shame.
Yeah dawg, she's really going to say otherwise and undermine the launch of the game.
