This game does not have many cutscenes that's why.

Yeah, I started to have that sinking feeling as time went on that literally everything has been shown in trailers already.

MGSV is great but I see Drew having a frustrating time. Doesn't help that he hates open world games. Doubt he'll be arsed getting the true ending.

Getting the true ending really isn't that much of a hassle, took me maybe 3 hours after getting the original ending and only an hour of that was repeating old quests. The second to last mission is a massive pain in the ass difficulty wise though.
And MGS V has plenty of cutscenes, especially if you count the optional ones you get for visiting mother base. It's just spread out over a much longer playtime. I really think if you took out all of the codec calls from the other games it would end up being very similar.

The trailers are put together in a way that shows you everything but presents things in a way that's so incredibly misleading. There are a few key parts I'm thinking of, but there's one specific moment that when it's shown in game makes that part in the trailer the most effective troll work I've seen from a game in a long ass time.

They introduced that in the Clone Wars CG series; didn't bother me much considering that she hadn't actually spoken in any of her other animated or live-action appearances.

Are you talking about
Quiet's ending
Well it's not really much of an open world game, there's nothing in-between camps. I played the entire game and never wandered around without purpose, I just took my chopper where I needed to go. The true ending isn't really that difficult to unlock, all it takes is doing a few extra missions.

Yes, that is the mission but it was marked as an important side op so I ended up doing it beforehand.

Personally I think most of those beefy cutscenes (like briefing and such) have been replaced by the tapes in MGSV, which is good and bad I guess, since the game itself takes so much time, putting the info dump stuff on as like a podcast while traversing the openworld or the mother base doing inane shit makes a lot of sense for me, also they are mostly non essential but if you're into the lore you'll probably be trying to get all the shit you can in the game into your head, so doesn't really matter.
Only thing is its not linear at all, so people expecting regular old MGS like usual might be bummed, as you have to bridge some of those gaps and loose ends as against kojima in his own butt fucked way doing it for you. But then again kojima has done so much shitting on peoples expectation by now that if you're still expecting kojima to be stop being a weirdo then, keep waiting I guess.

oh for fuck's sake there's been fast travel points on mother base this entire time
Yup! Felt like a real dumb-dumb once figuring that out after 30+ hours.
Wait what! Son of a...
Which is kind of an issue because in between bases is always just several outposts that you either detour around when possible, D-Horse it assuming you're not traveling on a jeep, or deal with it for a few resources and possible A+ recruits.
Chopper is valid but expensive and terrible as far as fast travel goes, with all the wait time for chopper arrival, extraction, insertion, and then load times and deployment fees.
Cardboard box travel is better.

This game has fast travel?
Basileus777

Traveling between them on the chopper still takes forever. You're better off going back to the ACC and then landing from there.
If traveling on a chopper for 5 minutes to move between platforms counts as fast.
Naw son, delivery points! No chopper necessary.

Well, at least I enjoyed the scenery from my helicopter each time.
Basileus777

Ah. Maybe I should have used those more. You need to collect invoices to use them right?
It's a good place to listen to cassettes at least. I just wish loading screens didn't end them and force you to restart.
Fortunately not the delivery points on Mother Base.
Mister Negative
Member
there are delivery points on every platform on motherbase
you don't need to collect anything to use them

I wish I had known this. Oh well, it'd have only matted for one sidequest that requires you to go to the medical platform a lot.

Speaking of which, that's the only thing like that right? Theres not a similar thing with the person at r&d, for example?

I keep unlocking delivery points on maps but don't think I've ever used one lol

was just doing some folder spring cleaning and stumbled upon this, my original pitch to ren for a bombcast thread design:
i like how we went from a template for all future threads to forty different designs
Looks like we found the OP for this week's Bombcast thread.

Did you get SteveWinwood to do that for you?
Haha, was just thinking the same thing.
paint time will return someday, i'm sure
We can only hope.
usually i do some clean up/more fultoning after a mission, and i don't want to lose that. I can never tell if i hit return to ACC if it will cancel out any of the stuff i did after "completing" the mission
Basileus777

You lose anything after your last checkpoint save. Thankfully checkpoints happen pretty frequently so if you travel a bit after cleaning up you'll trigger a new save and can go back to the ACC without losing anything.

I just replayed a mission to acquire a specialist solely so (buddy spoiler)
I mean I can't see myself playing a better game this year.

In my game he got attacked by a bear pretty bad one time but then Miller automatically fultoned him out of there.

That's nothing. I'm reluctant to get into specifics. I'll say this much, short of D-Dog silently destroying helicopters, nothing can top it.
I thought Brad was gonna get himself into one of those yet again when he predicted that Just Cause 3 would be their GOTY on a recent podcast, before he made it clear that he was joking.
