WHY IS THE COMPANION APP NOT SUPPORTED ON iPhone5?

I updated my phone from iOS7 to 8.4.1 because it said I had to and now it says the iPhone 5 hardware is not supported.

I updated for no reason. Wish it would have told me the hardware wasn't supported first so I didn't go to iOS 8


Is there any fix to my situation other than buying a $XXX new phone

the app is free, you could just grab bluestacks on a computer and run it through there
Same I have done a bunch of side ops.
I used airstrikes for anti-sniper work after a frustrating mission, so it's certainly a viable option.

I have a QUIET question for those past that point on how you did it.
If I use normal sniper is she dead? Is Tranq required?

I also think that if Konami wanted to make proper BANK they'd had made you pay to use chicken hat...

Yh you don't need a tranq', I was waiting for her to run into the water to tranq' her but realised it would take too long lol

man, I really hope that the story gets stronger.

I just finished main mission 12 and I think it's been 4 or 5 cutscenes so far. After the awesome prologue it really lacked story so far.

Finished first mission in
Africa
, still no story except
Skullface = bad guy, Cipher
.

I'm a couple missions further than you.there doesn't seem to be much more so far.
The story that's there seems......good I guess. Definitely very light though.
I can't stress enough that you all must explore the
medical
platform

Honestly, I feel that the game (so far) is very bloated with odd jobs and seemingly random missions... infiltrate this, rescue that guy. Seems pretty unimportant to me.

You're referring to
half-naked Quiet, aren't you? Or is there more?

There's more.
I won't spoil it though because it was pretty shocking

I've been playing nonstop since I got it. SOOOO GOOD. Side ops and MB management is so addicting (and I ignored this stuff in PW and didn't like it as much because of these elements).
This game... Kojimas done it

Am I blind? (mother base)
Where is the animal zoo/conservation?
I had the talk with Miller already and he said, he gave the order to build a platform, but I can't find it. Do I just have to wait?

Thank you for the info.

I didn't think anybody would see my post so many pages back.

Is there a way to see anytime one of your posts is quoted?

It's separate to the rest of mother base.

I really love the uhm..industrial sound of the score.

forgot the genre

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPuygOlH4cI

This is also a favorite

Beware; could be a spoilery title..I don't know.

Yeah, Industrial fits the bill (with a dash of avant-garde). First one is great (that horn part is straight out of Aliens), not touching the second :)

There are moments in the score that remind me of John Carpenter stuff too. Really loving it.

Mind you I'm not that far in, and totally loves the game, but what I don't like so far is:

- Voice acting is inconsistent, and not too distinguish.
- Mute Big Boss, and anti-climatic meetings.
- Intro dragged on and should have been cut shorter.
- Open world is barren with almost no wild life.
- Need to complete side-ops to progress the story.
- Not as many cutscenes or story as in earlier games.
- Too much story is hidden away in the cassette tapes.
- Frustrating checkpoints, and you have to get the collectibles again after dying.
- Camera and control of D-Horse can be clunky.
- Slow load times when connected online.

I can list a bunch of cool and positive stuff as well, like the weather and day/night cycle, enemy AI, infiltration of camps, Mother Base management, graphics, OST, attention to detail, fulton system, controls etc.

MGS V has the best gameplay of the series, unfortunately I don't play Metal Gear primarily for the gameplay, rather I do for the story and cutscenes.
 
How is the PS3 version?

I don't know really. Installed it yesterday, got stuck at
face creation
and went to sleep because I'm playing at night only (completely dark room + 5.1 headset = total immersion) and was so damn tired. Shouldn't been drinking that rum. Straight :)

I going to play the shit out of it today and record something to post it on YT.

Cool. I'll never play the PS3 version but I'm interested in finding out how it runs.
 
While I'm waiting for my CE to arrive I cludn't wait any more.

Spoiler tag the answer pls, but for the love of Kojima - tell me
the player character is indeed
Big Boss and not some crazy shit like Gray Fox/Medic/Decoy Octopus or Gaseous Sneak.
kk thnx
 
I thought I heard something familiar when I walked up to that outpost and when I got closer and I heard (80s song spoiler)
Rebel Yell
i was like YOOOOOOOOOOOO
