Didn't read your spoiler but what do I have to do to see this scene? Can it be missed?

As far as I can tell, you need to develop a medical platform (though I think it gets built automatically anyway), and complete the "Extract The Wandering Motherbase Soldier 01" side-op in Afghanistan.

Then, go to your medical platform on mother base, and you have to hunt for a door on the inside of a corridor with a blue light over it, where you can press the action button to go inside.

I'm assuming it's totally optional, but it's really quite interesting - it's definitely worth seeing (I'll take any cut scene / Snake dialogue in this game I can get)
 
Look, to those that have finished the game all I want to know is this:

Does that badass 1980s leather jacket and motorcycle make it into the game ?

I've beaten every MGS on hard with minimal effort, but that first Afghanistan mission was kicking my ass, lol. Not complaining though.

Can I not bump up the dialogue audio and bump down the music and sound effects on PS4? The balance is all wrong and I can't even find subtitles...

Subtitles should be in Visual Settings, I believe it's called. By default it's probably set to "Foreign Only".

But I definitely agree that there needs to be a a dialogue volume option. Probably sounds all-right on a surround setup, but the dialog is too low when using headphones with the PS4 controller's jack.

Also, boy does Keifer have marble-mouth sometimes.

I have not finished the game, nor seen the doc... but this makes sense from everything i have seen so far.

Shame. Konami messing up.
I don't know, I'm also not looking at that doc until I finish the game, but I'm skeptical as to whether it was because of pressure or some suit's call to cut whatever that was. Cutting happens for creative reasons too. Like, most scrapping happens as a creative decision as a matter of fact.

Where are y'all finding it still for sale? And around how many big ones would it cost me? I too would like a larger arm, to hold the smaller arm, which will hold...something.

Are you gonna get it? i am thinking of getting it. Small arm is cool. but its not as cool as the full arm.
I already bought it back in like March. It wasn't until today where it would actually be shipped to my house. Should arrive in about a week.
 
Stuttering's pretty noticeable but at least I've never noticed the frame rate crumble. ~25-30 FPS always. The draw distance is a ton better than GZ, where flora would pop-in five feet in front of you. However, instead of horrid loading, here it's the aliasing that looks pretty terrible sometimes. 95% of the same textures and effects are present, if not running at their best of course. So technically, I'd say it's about as good as last-gen GTA V is. But unlike GTA V, functionally, it's the same exact game. Totally solid and perfectly acceptable in my book. It's probably the best last-gen AAA port there is.

This is great to hear. I'd read about the stuttering in DF's review, but they made it sound completely unappealing compared to the PS4 version. Taken on its own, it seems perfectly acceptable.

Cheers, friend. Appreciate the response.
 
now that I have the silenced lethal pistol I have made the switch to killing guards.

I figure that it makes more sense in the fiction that big boss would be eliminating enemies if he needed to.

If the guard's skills aren't up to par he's probably getting a shot in the head after the interrogation and sleeper hold.

Makes the game feel a lot darker and more appropriate to his quest for revenge. I like big boss being a stone cold killer in this game.

Just developed this - looking forward to popping some fools.

Very much this. I mainly leave recruitment up to the combat deployment spoils or I'll play as diamond dogs soldiers for side ops and leave the main ops to the boss man.

Loving this game but really frustrated with side op 111:
where the hell is Quiet's cell? I feel like I've been over the medical platform five times and can't go in any of the doors. Why don't they just mark it on the map? It's our damn base, shouldn't it be a little more specific?

So, after playing for six hours, i managed to only get 3 story missions done. :(
I really need to stop doing side quests.

I had to stop using the PS4 controller cause i kept having so many problems with it. *sigh*

has anyone unlocked the FOB yet. ?
Japanese CE costs $50 to ship via EMS ;____;

Worth it though. This game is GOAT even after 24 hours of playtime.
Exact same for me too, with the people i used. soo hyped.
Did you have any other shipping options besides EMS, i didn't.

It right in front of you when you get off the helicopter, (just in front of the helipad) there should be a guard right beside the stairs that lead down into her cell.
 
I think GameStop cancelled my CE order, I chose one day shipping and it still hasn't arrived. Also, the order says closed on GameStop.

What do, OuterGaf?

To those who finished the story, are you satisfied? Please do not spoil.

Seeing what the OT people are saying about
cut endings.
I'd like to know the answer too. Just a Yes or No is enough.

on the missions list, why are some gmp rewards in blue, and some in white. (even for ones i've already done). ?
I know you have to do some side quests again, that's not what i mean.
 
Finished the game and well, what a ride. I wrote my thoughts in the spoilers thread, the reactions should be fun once more people finish it.

It's a yes and no kind of answer lol.

Just a theory loaded with potential spoilers, not looking for anyone to confirm any of this, I just want to keep track of my thinking as I play:

I've just completed Mission 5:
C2W
. Having listened to a tape called (I think)
'Big Boss, Back to Life'
I am starting to think that "The Man Who Sold The World" is actually going to be (potential spoiler in the form of a half-assed theory)
Kazuhira Miller
. Again, not looking for confirmation but
Kaz's speech about uniting all the PFs seems more in tune with the MG1/MG2 Big Boss ideology than Big Boss himself does at this point

Well damn, I just stumbled into Quiet while trying to track down a side quest. What a nice surprise :)
I don't really think it's stumbling into her, because of that side mission, there's really no other way to do it. so it's kinda leading you into meeting her.

I guess so, but I just wasn't expecting it. I mean, I haven't even finished the two missions prior to this one lol.

Had to rock it with a STN AR and Tranq Pistol :p
 
NO, DO NOT DO THAT. it's NOT the customer service person's fault, they have people being rude to them all day.
Be polite.

i get what your saying but as someone who works retail its always the assholes that get their way. I feel you can still raise hell and not be an ahole

I was so confused with this scene. Cutscene Spoiler:
Did Kojima just retcon the ending of GZ?

No.

The game is absolutely fantastic. 5/5. But the story is a resounding NO.

Is this a common view? I haven't looked at many people talking about the story. Just curious if most people feel this way.

Also is that Kotaku link (I NOPE'D out after it said it was major spoilers and didn't read it) really a big deal? Was it a large scene removed?

It was a significant scene, yes. But the problems go beyond that, at least for me.
