Wait so you could actually beat the game without beating 45? That's nuts.

Edit: Oh right I forgot how insanely difficult Mission 45 is. That took me like a week to beat.

EDIT -

EVERYBODY NEEDS A BOSOM FOR A PILLOW, EV--

...Oh, hey, Quiet!!]

 

[justjim89]

No way Drew finishes 45 without a rocket upgrade.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

No way Drew finishes 45 without a rocket upgrade.

Wait, he hasn't upgraded his rocket launcher?

 

[robotrock]

Absolutely! I didn't use

Spoiler

Quiet at all for my playthrough, so since my bond with her was abysmal, it never unlocked. When I did play that mission a few days after I finished 46, the game gave me a whole ending with credits.

I knew what happens when you complete 45 so I did that waaayy after completing the game.

 

[Zaph]

Hour and a half for these two missions? That's not happening,

Pretty sure the replay in 46 will take that up alone

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Wait, he hasn't upgraded his rocket launcher?

Nope. I don't think he upgrade anything that he has on right now.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Finally, the moment I've been waiting for!

I want to suffer once more, vicariously this time. Then back to Dark Souls 3 where I can suffer 4reals.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

They said they would continue the stream and upload it tomorrow if they were near the end

Since Jason wouldn't be there to watch the processing.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Pretty sure the replay in 46 will take that up alone

I think I remember someone here saying something about a way to do that mission without replaying the whole damn thing (which is what I did)...does anyone know if there's truth to that or is it bullshit?

me too!

You can skip the cutscenes in between, yeah.

 

[KingKong]

there should have been a special mission with your one true buddy, d-dog.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Pretty sure the replay in 46 will take that up alone

I think it's like 30-45 minutes if you skip the repeated cutscenes, which hopefully Dan tells him to do.

Nope. I don't think he upgrade anything that he has on right now.

Ok, I'll be shocked if they even beat 45 today, especially since those tanks will probably be one hit kills.

 

[LurkerPrime]

You can skip the cutscenes in between, yeah.

But that's the whole reason you're there, so any fresh player would be reluctant to skip. It's terrible mission design, absolutely bottom of the barrel.

S-Link Rank 10...!

Reese's Crotch Pieces...!?

 

[TheMrPliskin]

You can't leave mission 45 once you start it can you? I feel like I remember that being said around launch.

 

[petethepanda]

I bashed my head against 45 so many times until I went and upgraded everything more.

 

[Wunder]

man I wanted to play Dark Souls tonight

 

[Solobbos]

But that's the whole reason you're there, so any fresh player would be reluctant to skip. It's terrible mission design, absolutely bottom of the barrel.

That's true, I couldn't do it on my first playthrough either. Hopefully they'll listen to the chat.

 

[Antiwhippy]

S-Link Rank 10...!

Reese's Crotch Pieces...!?

Thought you wrote Rise for a moment there.

 

[petethepanda]

The wrapper. Most excellent.

 

[Kaizer]

I beat Mission 45 on my first try, but I did go in with prior knowledge of what was coming so I was more than adequately prepared for it. Had a fully upgraded rocket launcher, grenade launcher, wore the battle dress, called in airstrikes/storms/the chopper multiple times and also ammo replacements of course.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Thought you wrote Rise for a moment there.

Uhhhhhrrrrg....do they show it?

[EDIT - This mission took me about 20 tries I think?

But I'm stubborn. I had no Reflex the whole game (except the boss fight where it is forced) and I didn't call in any strikes or supplies.]

 

[QFNS]

Mission 45 is insanely hard. I had to give up and upgrade tons of things and call in a bunch of bombardments in order to win. It is REALLY hard. No way they get through that without some work.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Uhhhhhrrrrg....do they show it?

 

[LurkerPrime]

Drew "Punished" Scanlon is real.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Master of CQC.

 

[Salty Catfish]

This mission might actually break Drew.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

This mission might actually break Drew.

It will, considering how frustrated he's been by previous stuff that's far easier.

EDIT: More Demo Derby!

you guys are nuts, all you have to do is stay inside, peeking out just long enough to get a shot off or to pick up more supplies. as long as you dont hang around long enough for them to get a bead on you or sit still in one place for too long you won't even take any damage. The hardest part is the chopper without a homing rl, but its not too bad.

The roof can also work really well, it's really easy to shoot rockets and call in bombardments from up there.

[Wunder]

Master of CQC.

I'm unsure as to what he was expecting

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Ok I made it home. I assume I only missed a bunch of boring stuff.

 

[petethepanda]

This'll be a thing.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Oh right, this scene.

 

[Zaph]

Some quality mo-capped stabbing

 

[kvk1]

jesus christ

 

[War Peaceman]

spoilers: this mission is fucking dogshit

 

[giant_frying_pan]

"How are you liking me stabbing you in the bitch, bitch?!

 

[Wunder]

aaalllllright drewwwwwwww

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Get comfy everyone!

 

[ratcliffja]

I remember thinking this mission wasn't going to be a huge deal after the first tank checkpoint... and then they expected me to do the entire second part without one. This is the mission that made me break my no kill rule.

 

[daydream]

aaalllllright drewwwwwwww

haven't been following their mgsv playthrough, at all, but i just started watching the stream and it seems dan, much like the viewership, has kinda tuned out

 

[kvk1]

great music though

 

[Wunder]

oh yeah. dudes given up

 

[justjim89]

This is such an awful mission by every metric. He ought to just spam bombardments.

 

[Salty Catfish]

The whistling sound from the tank shells is triggering the fuck out of me after beating this mission. It should have been soooo cool with that setup and music...

 

[Flandy]

I'm just gonna exit the stream for the next hour. I hope he's made some progress by the time I'm back

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This is going to be fun.
