I completely agree. Virtually every aspect of the story fails.
I wonder what Kojima really thinks of the final product.

LD, I got three lines in and I had to bail (EJECTEJECTEJECT). I'll come back and read the whole thing after I've done the story.

I got a crazy teory that Quiet is EVA's and Big Boss's daughter.
#Team Q FTW!!
PS I've just finished mission 15, so there's a lot in front of me.

Completely agree.
Except that I didn't like Quiet's story, especially her final mission/ending
This part though:
And the best tape in TPP for me was the final
mammal pod recording
If there was one thing I really did like about MGSV's story, it would be that in mission 30/31
the way Snake and Kaz get their "revenge" is really grisly and disturbing. There really is no gore in the game despite lots of blood and limb loss, but the way Snake just coldly blasts off Skull Face's limbs for Kaz kind of shook me. It also helped by showing the healthy PW/GZ Kaz briefly covered in blood and SF's groaning and gasping in pain. Then fucking Huey goes and cheeses the scene up.

Yeah it was very well done,
revenge isn't supposed to be a glorious feat, it's disgusting and accomplishes nothing. Huey's reaction juxtaposes the concept really well since it just seems childlike and pitiful. I thought it was a more well done point in the game, too.
Yeah I actually really love her character, despite the blatant oversexualization. I also like how Huey is done in the game because
of how it makes Otacon look in comparison, seeing how he didn't follow in his father's footsteps and become a weak piece of shit.
Well Drew is very smart.

It's not that hard to see this twist tbh. Kojima has gone full idiot with all the trailers. The first trailer revealed the twist.
But it is. There are people who don't watch trailers or read the interwebs. They just wait and get the game and play. So for them the twist is something huge.

It isn't. Also Drew watched all the trailers. You make your own avatar and the other guy has the voice of Kiefer. Even Brazil called it from a preview event.
But sorry, I promised I won't talk bad about this game anymore in here.
^^^ that is great fan art lol
no lies detected
lately I've been thinking... a game like MGSV would have been perfect if it took place before the les enfants terribles project started in the MGS canon. light on story and heavy on gameplay. and that gameplay is awesome and make you feel like a bad ass mother fucker, just like it did with this game. of course, this is all to get across the idea that big boss is the world's greatest soldier and this is why he is ultimately cloned. a story lite metal gear can work, it just has to be very specific circumstances.
light on story is the last thing I expected with a game that bridged the gap between big boss' story and metal gear 1

Watching now
I like videos like this after the fact now. I feel like i learn more from other peoples experience.
Now that i finished the game, i can try to be a little more objective.
Bit of a stretch sayign he Molyneux'd it, he actually delivered a very good product that is immensely fun. It just wasn't the metal gear the fans expected or deserved story wise sadly.
Would have been nice to have it finished too, think Kiefer was a good choice, Hayter would've butchered a lot of the lines,

VOCAL COOORD PARASITES.
I know this particular tidbit has already been spoiled for me, but can we at least give it a month before we go with untagged spoilers?
Pretty please?

The only side missions i have left to do are the motherbase target practice, some of these are though, the targets are really hard to find.
So tell me, why didn't i like the ending then. ?
Ohh look. Another patronising post as to why people didn't like the story in the game.

Honestly I just youtubed the ending and the tapes. I just have no drive to even go further. It is what it is I suppose.

God damned mission 16!
I don't have fulton cargo 2 and don't stand any chance against those fuckin' freaks.
What is the easiest way to obtain Transportation Specialist?

To get what you need, check the top right when picking a mission, you should see a list of thing you can collect, go through older missions and you should find what you need. I believe.

So there isn't any other option?
No problem then, just got to get my shit together and stop playing John Rambo.

I finished all the side ops. Now on to those challenge missions.
There isn't, sorry.

I think there is one on a mission you've probably already unlocked
Angel with a Broken Wing
You can always (Mission 16)
drive the truck out

After you finished the game, I would advise you to watch Bunnyhops Review/Analysis of MGSV. He is totally on point. This game has no personality and lacks diversity for a game that is over 50 hours long.

I've tried that yesterday but it's rather impossible because
Skulls are jumping on truck's cabin and after three or four of those jumps it's destroyed.
As off

As off, mission description says that there's one inTransport SpecialistandPitch Dark. I've tried the latter but with no success. Maybe I shouln't have been requesting those bombardments?Angel with a Broken Wing
You can kinda chees the mission, easy S-rank if you have the Fulton upgrade that you can fulton trucks.
Just run to the back of the airport, google the mission on youtube, and fulton the turck, run away, call d-horse. Really easy that way.

Trick I learned with
The Skulls on the Phantom Limb mission is that they very slowly zero in on your position, even when they have no idea where you are. So if your patient, you can draw them away from paths or objectives then circle around them.
That's how I got Perfect Stealth on Phantom Limbs and Mission 16. Fulton makes the latter easier but if you can draw them far enough away from the truck (40m) I reckon you can ride it out of Dodge City fairly unmolested.

I disagree with those last points but to each their own. The game is unquestionably suffused with Kojima's unique voice and the variety in missions is very much left in the hands of the player.
To elaborate on the latter, the objectives aren't all that important (although I'd argue things are mixed up fairly regularly to keep players on their toes). The variety is in how one completes these missions. No one would complain about the lack of variety in a Hitman game simply because the objectives are all identical, right? In both cases, the players are given incredibly robust gameplay systems and a smorgasbord of tools with which to manipulate them. Simply because some players only wish to play optimally or lack the imagination to mix things up doesn't mean the game lacks variety. If you'll forgive the crude comparison, this is (IMO) Metal Gear for the Minecraft generation, where the objectives are secondary to the "journey" (how one completes the mission and the game reacts to the player's decisions).
I don't know about the story but the gameplay of MGSV is the natural evolution of everything that has gone before it. Each base/outpost is both a classic MGS room writ large and a full MGS game in miniature. Personally, I think it's brilliant and everything I was both promised and hoped for. However fucked the story becomes, I can safely say this supplants MGS2/3 as the MGS I come back to for years to come.

Let's just agree to disagree.
And I am also not talking about the gameplay/infiltration, I am talking about the fact that there is a lack of diversity of mission obejectives in the game. Heck, Ground Zeroes even was more creative than the whole of TPP. You had to use a cassette tape to locate Paz's location, none of this is in TPP.
