Anyway, does anyone know where the (side op 49)
is?
Legendary Ibis
It's not random since she's always in that spot after Miller talks about her but yea, that's how you find her.
It's actually very clever in that totally fucked up way. Why would people look for
a second bomb

by waterfall near mansion , if you've played a certain mech game, you'll have guessed the reward by now
I guess the problem here is that lots of people don't consider Ground Zeroes a previous 'game' in the series. Lots seemed to consider it a 'demo' and skipped it entirely. Several people every couple of pages of this thread say 'never played the others, should I jump in'. I could be wrong. Imo it's better to be safe with spoilers, but you're not wrong really.
No probs!
I think there are things like that in this game. They're not as tightly designed as examples like that in MGS3, but there are definitely long-term decisions and short-cuts you can take in MGSV. How far are you through?
Go to the Missions tab on your iDroid.
Select 'Buddy Support'
Choose one of the options there for her. Attack or Scout.
Question about Episode 11 -
the fight against Quiet
I know you can defeat her using a supply drop on her head - I took out half her stamina doing that, but then every other time I tried, she'd move away at the last second. Does that only work at night time? It would make sense she could see the shadow or whatever, and the first one was right before sunset. After the sun rose, she would always move away. Spent like 50k GMP on supply drops before the mission was done, haha.
Eventually I beat her using the tranq pistol. Fun stuff.

I'm not saying the
second bomb
vagina takes that to sexual violence which is much, much harder to digest than action violence and is also very difficult to portray in a non exploitative manner
Alright, thanks

use the Idroid map screen to control quiet, choose manually where to have her scout and attack

Holy crap, Main Mission 12 and the one before it are absolutely nerve-wracking! I've got terrible weapons (shotgun, revolver, tranquiliser rifle, all un-silenced) because I rolled right into these missions after hunting a bear, so I've basically been relying on sandstorms, hold-ups and CQC. DD has been an absolute legend the entire time, I am so glad that I decided to bring her (him?).
What the fuck
Mission.. I think 13, spoilers:
e: lmao, I just said "fuck it",
Mission.. I think 13, spoilers:
I have to tail the interpreter to find someone called Viscount, but he's not moving. He interrogated two or three prisoners (last one being a girl, I think, who said they should at least talk to the Viscount), then he started wandering around aimlessly.
Now he's standing in a goddamn hut, staring at a wall, with his buddy. Restart?

fultoned the interpreter and who decides to waltz into my arms? Well, none other than the Viscount himself. He was literally taking a evening walk with one of the soldiers 50 meters from where I got the interpreter lol
Almost done with main story...little over 40% completion.

I was worried about mission 8 since I didn't have any rockets or missiles and I didn't trust my skills to use c-4 in close. Why in world did they recommend the explosives at all when - mission spoiler
I was avoiding that mission for a long time.
there is a giant damned rocket truck parked a quarter mile from the target. I mean, there is no way to miss it. I jumped in, dumped a single salvo into the targets and finished the mission in minutes.

I can almost understand the fans who aren't digging the game - it's widely different than last entries, the plotting is a bit slow up front, and the "open world" is riddled with bottlenecks and zero shortcuts...but I don't find those as faults. It's integral to the design.
I honestly think this is one of the best games of all time. It maximizes the usage of every button on the controller, giving you so many context sensitive abilities. You won't find QTEs here - you are in total control. The animations are lush, the sound design is amazing, and the cutscenes are very well directed - notice how they're all composed with a single take - the camera alone is unwaivering, unblinking, and directed with purpose. The attention to detail is quite a sight to behold - from the authentic depictions of its setting, to the smoke and mirrors they pull off for these graphics. The actual gameplay is perhaps the highlight - there are ways to make a level easier - or harder - you have everything at your disposal making you feel like a one man army - you are free to replenish your supplies whenever you want, you can call in airstrikes, and you can use the environment to your advantage. You're never tied down to a singular conclusion; It's a true sandbox experience.
And I've brought it up before, but the UI is truly special. It's sci-fi, it's sexy, it's intuitive, easy to read, and has all the options you want to enter the lore (which is always cleverly tied with real world events), build your character, or keeping progress.
I can't praise it enough - the writing is so intelligent and the slapstick humour is a welcomed touch.
On top of that, I think it's home to one of the more profound commentaries of war. From the prisoner who lost his entire family in a bombing, to the humanitarian missions, to the very scary and very real depiction of war crimes. You want Snake to succeed.
I think what's throwing people off is that the tutorial literally lasts half of the game; which I'm okay with, because it really takes a sense of responsibility from a developer to teach the player all the ins and out of this massive game. I was overwhelmed by Skyrim, and GTAV, but I feel a sense of accomplishment in this title, and perhaps it's because of the way that you deal with a lot of revenue which allows the player to freely spend on things they want and need.
It's perfect.

Remember they told you when the event will happen. Also there are a lot of different ways to complete that mission

Raining?
this scene shat on the whole game for me. Not even talking about the fan service approach, but salt water kills Quiet apparently, so wtf is up with the rain water? Surely that's got to have some level of salt content right? These scenes are about 10 minutes apart too and it's not the only part of those scenes that doesn't line up. This is where everything just started falling apart in my opinion.

Anything in an early trailer is fair game. I'm not going to spoiler tag literally everything. If you're on media black out why are you in the OT?
This is wrong. You must not be playing the game correctlt I'm rolling in mats. Just fulton every container of mats. You get 400+ a pop.
This is a tough discussion.
From my perspective: The game wasn't exploiting

Sexual violence
Have you seen films like... Precious? Or books like Beloved? Or Safe Area Gorazde? Or Blood Meridian?
These works range from non-fiction into full-blown fiction, and all four have similar really fucked up things happening in them. And The Phantom Pain treats the issue in pretty much exactly the same way as these artistically important works – show it, but do not glorify or aggrandise it.
Haha I feel the same way. I am finally on mission 9 and I've probably played a good 14 hours since launch. Thank goodness for a holiday weekend here in the states.

Might've been 10 main apart for you they were a couple of hours apart for me.
Also rain water is not salty, unless there's salt or impurity in the air which only happens near industries.
If tap water and pond/river water works for her then rain water would work too.

It'd be really nice if there was some way of determining which way a door was going to open without actually opening it. Do Afghani carpenters not believe in door handles? I can't count the number of times I've tried to lure a guard in or out of a building, planning a sweet CQC corner takedown, only to take cover on the wrong side of the door and have it bang open the wrong way.

Looks like you went nuclear in that pic.
Huh? Humans can live off drinking rain water, they can't live off salt walter. This isn't something specific to the character.

I'm loving taking my time and stealthing through all the missions. Takes me forever to neutralize everyone and grab all the loot without being spotted, but it's great fun.
I didn't even know you could make it to the tanks before they start to move. I sneaked into the village and found some documents that marked the tanks and the colonel on the map, and when I did they were already en route to the base. I ended up finishing the mission by ambushing them with missiles after they passed by me, destroying one because it stopped to try to fight me, and then chased after the other through a sandstorm. Still managed to take them out before they reached the base, but I wasn't able to take out the colonel non-lethally because he got caught up in all the explosions

I would like to know this as well. I loathe having to call in for supplies multiple times because my suppressor is gone.

It's not that hard, it just takes some time.
It wasn't hard at all, spot her with the binoculars every time she runs to a new place then poke out a bit to make her take a shot at you then you can just pop out and shoot safely for a few seconds. When she is spotted you don't have to get anywhere near her and can still shoot just fine.

I'd honestly just like to know how to get a suppressor for the UN-ARC-NL rubber bullet primary rifle.
I'd be really bummed if it was just impossible to put one on there because even with weapon customization the suppressor slot is Xed out.

Ah then that makes more sense, although MB is rather industrial. Luckily I'm playing two files that are around the same point and will be going through the same section tonight. Maybe I missed some detail or visual cue but there were other things that felt off around there. Hoping my partially absent mind at the time missed something.
