Not just that but (mission design spoiler)
the back half of the game is just repeating stuff you've already done on harder difficulties to unlock the rest of the endings.

Honestly after reading some of the stuff I just read, which was spoiler free, I'm not even sure I want to finish the game anymore. Also I'm at the second half and it's....strange.
You can instantly spot the moment that Konami's foot came down. It's sad to think they've done so much damage. I've never wanted a company to sink so hard before.
Still can't get the side ops to unlock weapon customization. Frustrating.
Don't try and beat them with you own guns. Wait until they get to the village and stop. Jump on the anti-air gun and you'll shred them to pieces.
I guess, but I'm like focusing on one or two of them and the third is off camera and just fucks up my shit
I'll try that.
I'm currently
CQCing them and then using my most powerful shotgun. it's doing decent damage but I still keep getting fucked up. I'll try the rocket launcher/machine gun strat, thanks!

The biggest issue with limiting your guns on a mission is when you play it the first time through you have no idea what you're gonna need. How many times did people take their tranq pistol and a silence sniper only to find you need the rocket and grenade launchers.

I LMAO'd at the explanation for Quiet's lack of clothes
Its like they put her in the game then worked backwards for some wacky ass justification. Definitely ashamed now.
Game definitely gets better when you reach Africa, but its gonna make some interesting post-game conversation all its various elements in a week or so.
Like this shit for example.
LOL

Eh there's blame on both sides. One for Konami being big bad publisher and secondly for Kojima taking way 5 years on the game and likely an insane amount of money.
But yeah it's pretty damn sad how this game has turned out. It's still good don't get me wrong. The core is some of the best stealth I have played and it all controls so well. The Fox Engine is incredible and an amazing piece of tech. But the rest of this game lets everything down so badly.
It should be better, and that's the saddest part. Honestly the feeling I get from this game kind of reminds me of Destiny. It's a lot of disconnected missions and you sit there waiting for the story to come together, but it just never does. Meanwhile the core mechanics are fucking great even though the mission scenarios are repetitive.
You can drop whatever you need at anytime.

Zero times.
10 missions in and so far any mission that "requires" explosives tells you so in yellow font on the mission description page. And if you still don't bring any, it's a complete non issue because you can have an explosive air dropped to you in a matter of seconds.

Oh hey its not just me
The main story isn't that hard to understand actually, it's a pretty simple revenge set-up:
- You are Big Boss, a legendary soldier turned mercenary
- You stole a huge amount of money and started your own offshore military base-nation in the Caribbean with your friends Ocelot and Kaz Miller
- Your base was attacked by a mysterious faction called Cipher, killing almost everyone and putting you in a coma for 9 years
- You wake up in 1984 and your goal is to rebuild Mother Base in the Mediterranean and get revenge on Cipher
- Cipher appears to be led by a man named Skullface, but it's strongly suspected your old rival Zero is involved
I've been seeing comments similar to this around the internet and it is making me not want to continue playing. All this time and absurd amount of money spent on development and it is still not finished.
Between weapon drops and the yellow mission advice, never.
Perhaps that's the reason for the fallout with Kojima?

Yo can people stop talking about the ending. Please go to the spoiler thread. Now I'm going to be thinking about people's opinions of the ending and whether it's finished etc.

If MGS V is what he had in mind all these years then why did he fill his previous games with dialogue and exposition. And proceed to have none of that in TPP?
If MGS V was the game he always wanted. Then who the fuck made MGS 1, 2, 3, 4? His doppleganger?
Go to iDroid -> Missions -> Cassettes. Pick a track and assign it to the helicopter music.

Anyone know how to send battle gear out on ops?
Ocelot told me to but doesn't explain how.

Yeah, that's the most boneheaded part of it for me. Much as I'd prefer the traditional 'carry everything at once' approach from MGS1-4, I can understand why they'd go to a three weapon system, but further limiting your Primary Weapon slots to 'hip' and 'back' weapons is just needless. There's no reason why Big Boss couldn't have an assault rifle at his hip and a shotgun on his back, or a rifle at his hip and a rocket launcher on his back. Just... why?
Also no reason he couldn't just have two pistol holsters like Ocelot does.
Seconded. Shits annoying.

For a combat deployment mission i need a tank. I extracted a lot of them but its saying i don't have one. Anyone else know whats up with that?
Anyone who's completed Mission 32 please help
I just did Mission 32 and Was told to go back to MB, when I arrived Eli was stood there and walked round a corner to the right, he looked back as if he wanted me to follow but I couldn't find him.

Define battle gear. Do you mean camo, weapons, etc? It's all under weapons/items under supply drop.

Does anyone else have their ps4 sounding like a jet while this is running? I never heard a game make it run so loud so often before
Raven Prime

It's the actual name of something..
yes but pretty much every game makes my PS4 sound like a jet. Even changing themes on the menu makes the fans kick in and I try to keep it dust free.

Its a vehicle for the ops you send the combat unit on.
I actually don't know how to send anything either as I have loads of tanks as well.
Soo I've been up to mission 7 and been doing quite a lot of side ops.
Is it okay if I do this mission and it won't do anything in regards to the story? Or should I do the missions in order to not miss out on anything.
I was going through another side OP and out of nowhere comes quiet and mission 11 pops up.

You're fine, go ahead and do it
That's how it happened for me. No noticeable difference for story but be prepared for Miller to get annoying during the fight.

Just got DD. Funny that i did a side op without an alert and right when i was about to leave the area a car shows up out of the blue and catches me and dhorse about to leave the scene.
the fuck is wrong with combat deployment missions?
I can't do a single one. "not enough units" which seems bullshit, I have more than enough units but when I try to assemble a squad for the mission the game doesn't let me select all the units I have, just 2 - 4 of them, and I need 5.

People give Konami shit, but this game's significant flaws are all on Kojima. Even with another 1-2 years, it'd still be mediocre. He received plenty of time to make this game, and their gaming division being mismanaged isn't entirely on some boogeyman executive at the top of Konami. Part of that blames lies with Kojima too. This game's significant failings all come from the design perspective.
It's been how long since MGS4? In the time it took MGSV to launch, Naughty Dog has created and launched Uncharted 2/3, The Last of Us, and soon Uncharted 4. That'll be around 40 million copies between all those games when it's all said and done. Three of those were all critical successes too, and UC4 will likely be no different.
Kojima managed to get Peace Walker out the door on PSP, and finally a big budget entry in MGSV. In 7 years. Peace Walker doesn't even really count, because its existence is kind of a joke in the first place.
This shitshow isn't all on Konami. It's on Kojima too.
It's actually a fantastic comparison.

I live in a house that gets incredibly dusty, so that's not helping my issue, I'm sure
So I guess it isn't the best idea to go back to missions early on because I feel like I am missing vital info/equipment to complete some of the other objectives. Spent time on the first mission trying to get into everything. Then going back to find the commander and not finding him. Wasted like an hour.
Whoops...

Yeah, I think it might have been impossible to NOT notice that. Made me feel like I should have been wearing
the ps1 solid snake costume
Edit: I feel like in pre-release stuff, I could have sworn there was MGS4 style gun customization. Am I misremembering? if not, how do I do all thaT?
