How much game is left after this mission?

Basically one mission. Some critical tapes after that if they listen to those.

One mission that is a literal replay of the first. So no actual game, mostly just interactive cutscene.

1 more mission, also a bunch of tapes if they decide to listen to them.

Huh. Ok, here's hoping this one goes better than y'all seem to think it will!

Now the mission gets hard. Like REALLY hard.

I don't know. This is a tough one. I remember being really pissed when doing that, but I'd still probably rather do that again before this.

Austin not being in it is just wrong. And Alex!
I've gotten a bunch of suggestions to do Law and Order, and I always have to think of how to work around limitations. Law and Order's limitation that it only has 6 credits. That's a pretty harsh limit.
Then I thought of Cop Show. It's a perfect match visually, and I could pull virtually all my material from one video, something I've not really tried yet. 6 credits plus a Hardcore Dave cameo? Perfect. Plus, I could finally work Ryan into an intro in a position other than creator. So, "throwback to Cop Show" became my modus operandi.
Not every bomber can be in every intro! Much as I love him, Austin is especially difficult to accommodate for, since there's so little usable footage of him.
This has been Hot Intro Takes with Fun Punditry.

Man, I had a routine nailed down for this mission after the checkpoint. Fultoning, mines, rockets, resupplies, the whole deal. Still took like 6 hours.
Yep, rewatching it my entire routine for dealing with this is coming back to me like dance steps or something. Okay, call in Pequod here, fire a missile at this guy, dash forward and fulton this vehicle before it unloads troops...

I still need to play Last Light sometime soon, seems like I can skip the DLC.I'd rather do this than the bullshit Metro DLC mission I played through last night.
I spent so much time on this mission. Didn't have the appropriate lethal gear, and I was far too reckless because it was far too irritating.
From what I'm seeing, apparently Drew is doing pretty well, so that's good.
Yeah he's doing good, although after the checkpoint is when it really ramps up so it could all go downhill from here.

Quiet died a LOT for me... but that might be because I was trying to let her do all the killing so that I could have a no kill run. That proved effectively impossible.
Edit: 4 or 5 times? I'm pretty sure this took me over 50.

I was heartbroken when they decided to do this shit show of a mission instead of 46. Easily could have come back and done this after.

Yeah... it was like a puzzle. A very frustrating puzzle.
If the super tanks didn't one shot from pretty much any angle, it would've been an entirely different affair.

I'm hoping that if this mission gives Drew too much trouble, they'll just say fuck it and quit and do 46. Watching him struggle with this for hours wouldn't be fun for anyone.

Has Scanlon 5 been as good as the stream has been because this has been pretty good?

It's definitely had it's moments and it's worth watching, even if it's not the best MGScanlon.

I'd say better? It's definitely been the weakest MGScanlon but I still enjoyed most of it.

It's definitely a slowburn with some damn great highlights in it.

we all agree Metal Gear Scanlon 1 was the best right
Of course. It's not even a contest.

Yeah I probably agree with that. 2 was great as well.

Don't let that mission discourage you. The same DLC pack includes a cool ass mission that has metroidvania and roguelike elements in it.

MGS2 is the best game and best Metal Gear Scanlon. 1 is super close, though.

I liked 3 a lot because I'd never played any MGSs before 5 but yeah 1 was the best.

Scanlon 2 is definitely my favourite. 1 and 3 are both great too.

I've enjoyed all of them too much to say. Other than Mario Party Party it's been the biggest factor in getting me to subscribe and it was worth it easily. I'm gonna miss this feature, even though I'm happy its almost over.
Of course. It's not even a contest.
Unlike my tastes for playing Metal Gear games, I actually only like Metal Gear Scanlon 2 and none of the rest.

YES.
"God DAMMIT, Scanlon."

1, 2, and 4 are all great. 3 is pretty good. I dropped off V about halfway through.
2 is the best game in the series, but I think 1 is the best Metal Gear Scanlon
