Share with me your secrets oh wise one ;_;

Finished University and got told by stepdad that I can do whatever I want for the rest of my life since he owns a pretty big company here. So now I'm just a handsome wastrel posting on GAF...and crying that I have to wait 6 months to play TPP T_T

I will never understand horses.

Horses have no souls.

Get me a 6 figure job bruh!
 
Random question, is there any discussion or interview questions with Kojima as to why the burnt film effect isn't in Phantom Pain? Just a simple design decision?
 
Hm I hadn't noticed, it was there in the E3 demo but maybe missing from the TGS one.
I didn't see it in the jungle footage. Just a red directional hit indicator along with blood coming from your character. However, I can totally be wrong. Maybe the player didn't get hit enough in that video.

I'm gonna try to 100% Ground Zeroes. Any tips for getting S ranks on everything? I don't think I have S rank on a single mission yet.

I would check out some videos for tips and tactics on S ranking.

Many people complained that S ranking the Intel Operative Rescue was one of their most difficult. For this, I would say keep the following in mind.

- Shooting a barrel with your rifle does not count against your kills (guards killed by explosion).
- You can use the Rocket Launcher on the final Helicopter and still receive an S-Rank (counts as 2 kills)
- Pay attention to where the guards are killed near the heliport, as shooting the tank with the RR can cause splash damage to kill knocked out soldiers.

Took me one try to S rank this on Hard using this method.

For the rest, I would just say make sure to turn off Reflex Mode as that is an added bonus and video tips should guide the rest of the way for you.

The pain in the ass for me is unlocking all the trials by spotting every guard. Ugh.

That "Snake won't really speak much at all" thread sure is toxic. Tensions really flare up around anything Metal Gear.
Snake (BB and Solid) was never a big talker. Any dialog he has, even it's a lot, is usually dwarfed by everyone else's dialog. Plus a more silent Snake on a total revenge warpath is fine.

I don't get why people worry so much about Snake talking less, it's like they haven't listened to the GZ tapes or watched the Quiet trailer. He talks when he needs to. But of course people are already freaking out thinking it will be basically a silent protagonist, thisisneogaf.gif

edit: "If you don't want to hear Hayter you shouldn't be playing a MGS game IMO." ...yep, I'm not touching that thread

GZ you just need to be efficient with your time and get no combat alerts.

Anti-Air Assault mission:
Use trucks as battering rams on the AA guns. It's fine to have just one combat alert.

Renegade Threat:
You can kill The Eye with a sniper rifle from on top of the first red door warehouse you see in GZ. I suggest silently killing The Finger and knocking out his escort before you do this.

Intel Retrieval :
After you interrogate the spy, the bald guy with the real tape is activated. So you can go straight to him to get the tape, then leave.

The two special ops just require fast completion and no combat alerts.

Yep, this is where I stand. Sometimes it seems like people who don't know much about the franchise engage in those debates.

But are "silent protagonist" Kojima's words?

I don't know if those are his words, but in any case I wouldn't take it literally. And judging from what we've seen so far I think that Snake talks enough and the change won't be as jarring as people are making it out to be.
