A lot of people seem to be misreading this encounter as a rape attempt.

Could not disagree more.
Praising the controls and flow of past MGS games over this one seems utterly insane to me. They took pointers for the control scheme from the contemporary standard instead of trying to solve something that had already been solved on their own (and failing hard) - the game is better off for it.

That guy was infected and Quiet tried to snuff it out before it spread.

Konami ceases all AAA game development that isn't PES.
So, how does it feel knowing this was the last Metal Gear?
What's that, you feel it too? That pain, that longing for something that isn't there?

the real mgsv is out there somewhere. the game we got is nothing but a phantom.
I need to get this game out of my head. It gets worse each day passes.We have dispatches to southamerica and it was mentioned before. Something was there. Maybe more parasites. Code Talker was just a researcher who played with corpses, we don't know yet how the Cobra Unit got their powers. Also remember that his was supposed a narrative bridge and it... actually didn't bridge anything, but how Big Boss not died once.
Erm. Yes. The guard she attacked was the first infectes. She could feel it and tried to speak the language of lunatic with a knive.
Oh, was it in the tapes? I admit to not listening to most of those.
I think MGSV would've been a good start to a new MGS series, like the TR reboot or RE4. (Yes, I know it's a direct sequel to PW) Now it's just... a somewhat disappointing conclusion, on most fronts. I'm sure people could handle at least one more game with V's core gameplay, but better fleshed out, and with an improved narrative. Otherwise MGSV is just the learning process with no future payoff.

MGS3 will always be the best start for newcomers. And the best one in general.

I finally have 100% completion (yay!) I was planning to keep playing the game for a while, replaying missions with different tactics and doing FOB stuff, but honestly, I don't feel like playing anymore. I love the gameplay, but removing Quiet from the game (again, what a dumb decision) has turned me off the game.
Guess I'll play some PS Plus games till Halo 5...

Well I said "new" series (new direction), and if there was a sequel (which sadly there probably won't be), I can't see them not doing the mission-based motherbase stuff.
Read what was quoted, they're not talking about the Boss.
Yes!! Time to play Side-Ops with this in the background.
I'm really apprehensive about listening to any industry spoiler talk because I can't see them doing anything other than defending this so they can stand by their inflated scoring of the game. It'll probably just piss me off.
Brad and Jason seemed pretty down on how the story ended while Dan and maybe Jeff loved it in the last Bombcast. Which is what you'd expect I think.

Only English? Any person that spoke Kikongo be it their first or second language attracted the first infection.
Why aim directly for the mouth though? She has no quarrel with killing, she would have stab him in the chest or the head with out hesitation.
How hard was it to explain that to Venom with a piece of paper?
As soon as we found out about vocal parasites, it was clear to me that she was trying to cut out his tongue to prevent him from talking.

There's something else that decides what rank of soldiers you get; I started seeing S guys when I had around 400k heroism. I'm in the high 600k's now and still haven't seen an S+.
I do have one S+ and one S++ in each category though, don't know where they came from.
I thought wearing the Naked Gold skin + the gold arm made every soldier S rank, because when I first used it, the first 7 guys I came across were all S in single or multiple categories -- but that was just a lucky fluke because it hasn't happened since.

Expert storytelling, relegating important shit to these fucking tapes that most players won't bother with. Fucking codec conversations were a better idea.

It's just that if you do that, you won't want to play the older games. It's nice to see the gameplay additions progress as you play from MGS1-3.
People can speak more than one language y'know.
With him being in a cutscene it's impossible to know what else he spoke, but all we know is he spoke English. With Quiet's abilities, if it was something as serious as the infection getting out, she could have killed anyone who she knew was infected at night in their sleep if necessary, why do it in broad daylight in front of multiple people? Oh yeah, because Kojima has no sense of subtlety.
On the other hand we've seen how she responds to being sexually harassed. Quite violently.
Cassette tapes bruh

I really hope this is not a podcast like the gt one where they seemed kinda okay with that story and shit.

Cassette tapes say otherwise. Plus I'm pretty sure you could examine him in the sick bay screen afterwards.
They're breaking the story's balls from the beginning.
Why, what's wrong with that in the first place?
Anyways, it seems like half of them think it's bad, half think it's fine because Metal Gear's story is whatever.

That's how I took it, until someone told me otherwise. Quiet realises that guy has the parasite, so she immediately turns into a non-communicative psycho and tries to stab him in the mouth for some reason. At least it made sense when I figured she was shoving her knife down his throat in retaliation for him trying to shove something down her throat.
I feel like Kojima really couldn't decide whether Quiet was supposed to just not talk or whether she shouldn't be able to communicate at all, and just did whatever made the scene he was writing work. When you get that "Boss, you stink" scene with Quiet as a buddy, she steps in front of you and gives a perfectly understandable, "ey yo, follow me" head movement; in the field she'll throw out a thumbs up, or hum when she's in position. Other times, though, she seems completely incapable of any kind of communication whatsoever, for no reason. Kojima apparently wants us to buy that the only languages she speaks are English and motherfucking Navajo, and that she can't write or type or play charades, because otherwise nothing about her character works.
Brad was the one who gave it 5/5 stars and he is the one who dislikes the story..

The quote suggests that it was
The Sorrow
They were lovers and Sorrow is Ocelot's dad
Count of Monte Sawed-Off

Brad, who did the review, doesn't seem to be really positive on the story yet. At least the twist.
You still think The Boss, Mercury Lady, Voyevoda and The Joy were the same person? Voyevoda was oldest and was the first Boss before her phantoms took up the title, so I'd guess the pin was hers, especially since she was Zero's first wife.
It took me awhile to even accept that Quiet and the XOF soldier at the beginning were the same person- they just seemed so disparate in character, barring physical appearance. I was thinking that maybe she was her civilian twin sister, who underwent experimentation in order to get revenge on Venom for killing her sibling. Not the case, but it's what I considered for a bit.

please no
Sorry, got to kill you, the Kojima spread to your fingers.

The tape says the mystery man died in Egypt in 1941, well before The Boss became The Boss (or even The Joy, for that matter). The Sorrow survives all the way through WW2, goes back to the Soviet Union, and then meets The Boss again in 1962 in Tselinoyarsk, where she kills him (you can actually see his skeleton during the Virtuous Mission, if you look all the way over to the left after The Boss throws you off the bridge and you have to heal your wounds).
