I loved that too lol.


Why cant I seem to obtain any Head Unit parts for ZEKE? After 20 hours of this game, I only have 1/5 of the necessary pieces.

Just do the

Spoiler

pupa battle (not damaging the AI pod) and then enter the AI pod and retrive only the parts that you need. I did the missions until the mission next pupa, then I repeated the pupa many times, and now I have all parts to make a metal gear zeke.

I recommend setting your PSP down on your lap and mashing the button with your right index finger. I know I always had trouble with parts like that in GoW until I started doing this.

 

[MichaelEM3]

Just beat the main story.

As far as I'm concerned, that was the second best story in the series behind only MGS3. And as a sequel to that game, I felt it was pretty much perfect.

Spoiler

The story and connection between Big Boss and The Boss is the best thing Kojima has ever fucking done. Goddamn.

I'm always so close to bawling whenever it's an emotional scene between those two. ;__;

Loved the game. Deserving of the MGS5 name.

Yeah, I know, and I eventually did it. And I get that it's supposed to be nostalgic and all, but why the fuck would they make this so tedious?
If my finger was a beak, I'd look like a fucking woodpecker while doing this.

Did you put Huey in the R&D section?
If you did, maybe you also need some parts, and you didn't get any from the Pupa fight?
I'm not sure...

Spoiler

Careful: there are four possible locations for him in that mission.
(his location doesn't change if your restart the mission from the Start menu though)

 

[Hypereides]

Is it me or are the characters are much more believable in this game? from the story bits that Ive watched, there's a more fluent and natural character developement in between conversations and their interaction.

Big Boss isnt overly heroic nor dramatic but surprisingly very grounded.

Man, I seriously need to get a PSP for this one.

EDIT: Also... IM FUCKING LOVING THAT THEY FINALLY ADDED ACCENTS TO CHARACTERS

Goddamn Konami it took you a long time, but fuck me if you didnt get it right!

I quit for now. I have a headache from this lol. Are there any ways to get hints? The first 2 search missions, Miller would come on and say "Hes close, I can smell him" or something along those lines whenever I was in the area that Zadornov was. Was that just coincidental? Hes not telling me shit now and just blabbing on about how tired he is of Zadornov escaping all of the time.

Man, this game is almost... too good I really want to play it on a big screen in high res though.. not a fan of the boxed frame I get when I plug in the PSP to the TV.

 

[Augemitbutter]

finally started playing this masterpiece.

it's like portable ops moved up two generations. i already loved the first PSP MGS, but this time........

wow.

 

[adamsapple]

Wow. The game looks gorgeous. There's really only one full length real-time cutscene in the game but the models used in it are really high detailed.

Possible end-game spoilers (though i've tried to not snap up anything spoilerish). URL'ing just in case.

Why did the metal gear cockpit fill up with water ? wouldn't that short out every thing inside ?

 

[Vamphuntr]

I only need to beat some 5 red stars missions and I will be done with the extra ops.

ENDGAME SPOILERS

Spoiler

Finally got all of Paz's diary tapes. 1-4 was dumb. 5 is a lesbian fanfic. 6 and 7 were also dumb. LOL @ Miller getting drunk and mooning everyone. 8-10 at least Paz realizes that she might have been wrong but in the end the Cipher will kill her if she fails her mission. Kinda cute she did try to sabotage Zeke so the party could happen

[Itchy//Tasty]

Lol, I'm from the UK but took a holiday to NYC this week, coincidentally on the day of this game's release. I'm now back home playing it, though it's not out in this country til the 18th. I had to miss the Kojima signing though - had to be at the airport by then.

Favourite moment so far came when I was playing it on the plane, and I was on a really long, protracted battle with the Hind. At the exact moment I was trying to cap the pilot with a tranq round, the plane hit a spot of turbulence. I scored my victory dart whilst shaking nearly out of my seat (belt was on, don't worry) - awesome moment! :lol

Also loved the bit (v. light spoiler, gameplay-related)

Spoiler

with the snipers lying in wait for you in the jungle, reminded me of The End. The diversity in this game trounces Portable Ops.

Holy shit, thanks to you and spookyfish for finding this! I ran all over town looking for a CE and couldn't find one. Quick question, is the copy of the game that comes in the box sealed? I bought a copy of the regular game at a Gamestop and if the CE one is sealed I will just take that back with my reciept.

Is there any way to switch the over the shoulder view when aiming a weapon (from right shoulder to left shoulder)? Also I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't want to play this game because it's on the PSP. This game is really fun even with the wonky controls.

Yes you can.
D-pad left and D-pad right when aiming let you change.

 

[ruxtpin]

So I get the impression from reading reviews that this is sort-of like Metal Gear: Monster Hunter? I don't know anyone who owns a PSP, so I'm curious - Will I be alright using the ad-hoc feature on the PS3 to play with others in this game?

Edit: I've got the game, just haven't had a damn minute to take it out of the amazon box thanks to condensed summer classes.

 

[soldat7]

Any tips on the controls? I'm using the 'shooter' controls right now and I'm having a hard time, especially when things get busy.

No really nothing like it. They put in a monster hunter tie in to the game that you can unlock, but the game is more like a metal gear game with a management system. It's similar to portable ops though they changed things up since then.

[spookyfish]

De nada, darkresurrection. I just wanted to be sure it was actually in stock and shipping before I told anyone. And good to hear it's a sealed game~the Big Boss Pack game does not come in a case. But as a completist, I wanted the art book.

To get the 10 Paz's diary tapes you do the same thing as the ones from strangelove. Except you have to do it on the Mk II or custom version of the bosses

Feels good enough like dual analog. I always have auto aim toggle on select because CQC is easier with that lock on.

Yeah, I haven't played with auto-aim much mainly due to the stupid textbox at the top of the screen that shames me with every glance.

Man, i really miss the game pausing itself when selecting an item. I get that they had to do that for co-op, but it sucks for single player (ala RE5).

Rank goes up to SS. I think it has to do with the % of outer ops you do but I'm not sure. I got the missile launcher in a very low rank one (C or B). A shotgun in an S one. Can't remember for the rest.

 

[Jigsaw]

the stealth gameplay is sooo good but the bosses suck,it's frustrating as hell

they should have made it 1vs1 if you play solo,only in coop with the 2 dozen additional soldiers

anyway this game is criminally underrated,it is below portable ops on gamerankings,wtf?

 

[Vamphuntr]

You won't like the 5 skulls vehicle missions much then. In one of them with a tank there were 38 soldiers summoned through the battle. It's still possible to win alone if you grind a lot.

EDIT: Bah, I went ahead and ordered 2 copies. I'm a little concerned about the "item will ship when available" bit. These are coming from gamestop, who is supposedly sold out...
