I gotta say, limiting you to only 3 guns per mission could be one of the most asinine decisions I have ever seen in a game.
Firstly, why in the holy fuck is bionic arm a whole god damn pistol slot? Are you shitting me?
Secondly, why the crap only 1 pistol slot? I mean, come the fuck on. Tranq is a must. So that leaves me with absolutely nothing else....
Then the 2 heavy weapon slots are both different as well, so you cant have 2 rifles for instances.
Man, I wish I got this game for PC, so someone could mod this garbage out.

Oh no, the 'true ending' isn't an ending, Kotaku has an article showing off the cut content. The ending was cut and the story left unfinished.
This is a disaster. I got the game a week ago, when people reach where I am gonna be a lot of extremely annoyed gamers I think.
I kept waiting for a certain part of the story to continue...and it never did.

At this moment I am really enjoying it but it isn't any where near MGS1, 2 and 3 levels. More so on level with MGS4.
I don't even know if it will be my GOTY though after Bloodborne, still too early to tell. And yet Fallout 4 is still coming.

I think use some for research.
Was hoping to get on tonight and find d dog back at motherbase, but it seems he disappeared. Kinda making me want to pack up the game and call it quits. Still not sure what happen I've been told by a friend I'd have him by this point. Going on mission 12, and have done 30 side missions.

Are the side missions necessary?
Because there's sooo many of them. All identikit. No exposition or depth to them. I was doing them because I thought I'd fall behind the resource and development curve. But now I have a good combat and support unit, resource and money is trickling in nicely.
I don't think I'll be able to finish the game if I have to tackle all the side ops. 60+ main missions is more than enough.

Please don't discuss the ending in this thread. There is a spoiler thread for a reason.
Or spoiler tag it at least.

Because the arm gets
ranged attachments later on, so it can sort of be a pistol
But I agree, one more pistol would be nice, tranq should just be its own thing.
Either way you know you can call in new gear anytime you want, delivered to your location, right?

Rocket launcher twice to destroy their armor bar, machine gun close rang.
When they sword attack CQC them when the prompt pops for high damage.

Honestly, I kind of don't even consider them the same series.
TPP is some sort of side game or something. So I can't rank TPP, even though I just did, which was wrong.
But this is so different from what MGS is.

WHAT THE FUCK
I completed an ENTIRE mission. Time to go home. Got on the helicopter. Sometime blew it out of the air. Surely the checkpoint triggered once all the targets were disposed of right? NOPE. START FROM THE BEGINNING.

Just spent over two hours on mission 7. I ambushed the first two targets as they were being driven along the road and extracted them. I then went into the town and interrogated everyone, other than one guy I dragged into a dumpster as he came to see why the power was out. Got some prisoner locations and couldn't find the third target to complete the mission. Travelled all of the way to the other base, took out and interrogated everyone there and extracted the two side mission prisoners, still no Intel or clue where the third main target was. After clearing out three or four checkpoints, I decided to go back to the first town again. Turns out the guy I pulled into the dumpster was the officer I had been looking for the whole damn time lol. Pulled him out of the bin, gave him a good few kicks for good measure and extracted him. Feels good.
Oh, and this game is excellent.
Edit: how do I get quiet?

I don't know if my gaming skills have totally diminished to the point where I'm terrible at stealth games or I just need wait until I've upgraded all my gear, but almost every mission I've played so far has ended with me struggling to stay hidden and killing everyone on the map. Not stealthy at all.
Luckily the combat is good enough to play the game like this. Still enjoying the game so far.

I think the brig is on your med deck. Look around for a set of stairs that take you down.
It's less a jail and more a perv at quiet room.

Ohh I know. Its just that sometimes I just want to shoot out a light for instance, or destroy some radio. So I am forced to carry suppressed assault rifles, of which I only have 1 unlocked which I don't like that much.
Dunno, I guess I was just spoiled by the other metal gear games....

Is there a unique interaction with Quiet in the field? Maybe hum with her? I mean, I can pet my dog and tell my horse to shit on command. Can I pet Quiet or tell her to shit? What the heck.
I think perception of this game is gonna go south once people get to the back half. It's embarrassing how unfinished this game seems.

Starting to suspect this is a game that people are gonna really like on release, and then turn against later on upon thinking of it to be honest.

Pretty sure I found the room you're referring to, but there's no one there. Says in my menu there's someone in the brig, but haven't been able to find him.
No, I believe it is game time, not system time. You need to spend that set amount of time in game playing for it to pass.
That's what we got necks for
Use stronger guns.
The IGN review sort of reflected that, whereas none of the other big ones did. Something about certain threads having rushed resolutions, or even none at all. Makes me dread the end. D:

In this thread: people who haven't played pw haha. This is MGS at its finest. Very mature and fleshed out game finally not held back by hardware like mgs1,2,3,4. Those 4 are all classics but mgsv is what Kojima had in mind all these years.
I still think there's no reason to post impressions of the ending (or even late game stuff overall) without spoiler tags. There's a spoiler thread where you can discuss freely if you think the ending was disappointing and unfinished and what story threads you didn't get resolutions to.
lol yeah. I did the exact same thing, only I had disabled the power before the mission even started, so once I got to town the officer automatically came out to check the power. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be the twit I was looking for.
Yeah I hear ya, I'm not super far either. So like you, I only have one silent rifle. I just try to make liberal use of the air drops to resupply my suppressors and ammo though, it's worked out OK so far but I could also really go for a lethal pistol / tranq pistol combo. I don't care about using the arm for anything else at this point.

Rocket launcher and machine guns. Use the two tanks that are there as well. Or just use them to exit the hot zone and they stop chasing you.
