Just finished missions 8 and 9. Mission 8 was a pain in the ass, I eventually
used C4 on the first tank and pelted the second with a mortar. But i forgot about the captain you have to kill so I had to hop on DHorse and chase his ass down to blow the truck up with a grenade launcher
.

I did a similar thing on mission 8 except for the captain.
For him I jumped in the back of the truck and shot out the back window. Tranqed the driver then CQC slammed the captain when he jumped out. Originally I was trying to hit the tank driving in front of the truck by throwing grenades while we were moving but it didn't really work out.
It was fun but really highlighted that I need to develop RPGs.

I had a much different experience on this mission.
I dicked around at the intel site too much and the tanks arrived at the fort before I could catch up. When I got there and scoped the area out, the general was also hanging out....so I couldn't exactly level the place if I wanted to capture him alive.

It took a fair amount of trial and error, but snipering a few of the soldiers got everyone to take a more defensive position - and the general retreated to cover. then I went in
with a APC I found along the way there, and mowed everyone down before snaking up to the general and knocking him out.

I'm super early, but man, this game is weird even by Metal Gear standards. I think I like it? All I want do is get back home and play more.

Side Op 144 -
Secure the Remains of the Man on Fire

Where the hell are they? I've searched absolutely everywhere.

EDIT - Found em. Apparently I'm really dumb.

Oh very early question:

My friend said you get a bonus for sneaking past the Mist Unit after rescuing Kaz - but how do you do that? I can't go on or below the bridge, I must be missing a really obvious path haha.

I just went down the side of the bridge until the enemy followed me under.. leaving the top
of the bridge open for me to ride off with Kaz. :)

At least you can talk. Who are you?

Hahaha, I had the same problem. You'll kick yourself.

In the center of the base pretty much, I was going inside and out, up and around. Enter the front entrance and walk into the middle, you should see them.

REALLY enjoying this game but I have two problems:
  • After exporting the data from Ground Zeroes all POWs/VIPs came back to Mother Base and Hideo is one of them: the game told me he's back, but I can't find him on the staff list. Why? Is he unlocked later?
  • After I got the D-Walker,
    I bought the Gatling-gun and some upgrades, but I can't apply them to it. How can I?

Thanks!
 
Is there a way to keep soldiers from completely talking to CP? I've kind of taken to wrecking their comms equipment when I can but it seems they're always able to talk to each other. Or is it that they just can't call other stations/request backup?

Wow the prologue was INSANE! Probably the most brilliant
cinematic gaming experience
ever thus far.
Camera work, P.T. elements of horror, visceralness
was just top notch.

Sadly I had to turn off the console after it was over and go to sleep. 50 hour work week, side gigs and 2 hour commute everyday = no time D;

Simple quick question, trying to dodge spoilers so I'm in and out

If I go hog wild murdering tons of soldiers, does it impact the story in any way?

I ask because I usually go full stealth in mgs, but look at all these lethal toys!. I don't want to deny gameplay fun if it's not going to hurt anything (other than a lot of digital soldiers).

They seem to slowly walk towards your location no matter where you are. For example, if you stand on the bridge the two guys on the other side will walk directly towards you. I just stood midway down the hill on the right side of the bridge, and as they made their way down the hill on the other side, I ran back up and across the bridge.

Has anyone else not been able to connect to the servers for the last 2 days? All I keep getting is a maintenance error.
 
I did a side-op,
extracted the target
, and now it's showing a checkmark as though it were done, but it's not greyed out for some reason. And it seems like I can go back and do it again. Did I do something wrong?

Perfect, thank you! Looks like the guide is a bit more thorough than I was expecting, maybe I should get one too

If I'm about to do mission 20, is it too late for me to witness this
medical bay
cutscene that I've heard about? Furthermore, does it impact the end game in any way?
 
Did Mission 6 last night. Man, that was awesome. It's just so much fun sneaking around and getting takedowns. I always try and interrogate as well.

Its a really nice one. I just consult things that are common knowledge that don't affect my game play. Info like this is ok to know.

The CE comes with a nice litograph, a cool map, and lots of cool stuff spread in the guide. Waiting to be done with the game to then go through it and see all the stuff i missed.

I think the highlighted ones are side ops that you can do in the location you are currently at.

Lmao... I've been playing for like 20 hours and I just realized I can shower at motherbase... people were commenting on my smell....

lol. yeah I was running around covered in blood and mud and thinking the game wanted it to be a metaphor for how battle was affecting him, but then I realized he just never sleeps or showers.

Did this last night too. It's amazing how in-depth that was.

I did find the Skulls absurdly easy once I decided to use the Honey Bee, though, lol.

First time i died was here...
only cuz i didn't want to use the Honey Bee and save the ammo. In the end i finished it with 1 round left.
 
Why did it ask me to change my face in the prologue when it switched it right back 20 seconds later??

It's very jarring being told my face has to change and then the next shot its just snake again without any explanation.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

Obviously this will be brought up later in the game, I assume....so keep playing.

edit: Well nevermind.

MGO
, which isn't implemented yet. Don't worry about it, it's a stupid thing to include in the tutorial.

Man, I thought I was doing something wrong, haha. I tried
using the Bee but it didn't seem to kill them, so I just ran. I think I only used 2 or 3 rockets before I decided to just book it out of there. Ended up working out for me, haha

game is amazing and i just started scratching the surface. only done like 4 story missions been doing side ops and i'm having crazy fun.
 
Finally, FINALLY got the game!

And I must say, the hype hasn't let me down.

I've been playing from around 1PM till know at around 8:30 PM...

The gameplay is just superb, everything is so well put together it's amazing.

Loved the intro, even though I understood nothing of what was going on.

Amazing game. I love it!!

You did what I did. But because
Miller(?) said not to use it because the contract was to have it complete/all ammo.
There's an objective that ties into that as well.
