This one almost made me rage out. I used Quiet and somehow managed an A ranking despite multiple failures.
The only real beef I have with the game is that I think it should let you browse tips really easily. New players are going to encounter so many awkward roadblocks, simply because the game hasn't shown them an arbitrary tip yet. These things can make aspects of playing the game, managing the open world and mother base, so much better.
On the whole, though, I think I agree with you. I think it's an unprecedented game. It's easy to forget when you're not playing it, and it's easy to forget in light of previous MGS games which were so different, but as a thing on its own... Holy fuck.
Yeah it's bad.
My only major criticism of MGSV is that it has some weirdly placed difficulty spikes, some of which occur mid mission. I think the gameplay of the whole game is phenomenal, but there are a couple of missions which I feel throw all that good work out of the window and throw cheap encounters at you that undermine the rest of the game. Mission 18 is a big culprit of that.
You can, you have to research different versions of guns in the research tab.
Edit: Say you've researched the UN-ARC-NL, there should be a UN-ARC-S or R and these include different customisation a like a new flashlight, suppressor, barrel, muzzle, mag etc. researching these will give you ability to mix and match parts between guns.

Nope. At least none I've seen have been.
Feel free to take them at your own leisure. I've got some incomplete ones that I've had available since the first few hours.

Well, it would have just taken me longer, but I could have
beaten her with the exact same strategy with the tranq
I had developed the
UN-ARC-NL prior to the fight so I used that.
exposed until I got a marker giving me her general position. Then I got to cover and marked her. From there I pipped her with the UN-ARC-NL from afar if she was in an inaccessible area or if she was in a place I could get the drop on her I snuck around, got close, then unloaded the clip. Took like 30 minutes.

it's actually to do with Quiet and how she drinks, but yeah certain level of confusion there from suspecting rain water to be high in salt, at least far at sea like MB.

Ahh okay I figured with weapon customization it would just let me add the suppressor onto it since I had the suppressor for the lethal variant.
Do you know at which point the suppressed version of the UN-ARC-NL appears on the tech tree?
Didn't see your edit, and I only see one follow up to the UN-ARC-NL and it's the one with the red dot, I guess after I research that one the silenced one should pop up?
I would have said no but I swear I lost one the other day.
20-hour-in side op spoiler: I lost the Legendary Gunsmith mission. I swear it was on my list, and now it's not. Maybe my Intel Team levelled down?
You can replay it and kill her and it won't mess up your story. In fact, you can kill her the first time, replay the mission and have her come to MB.
Just anything on the west side and take your horse. You will unlock a better spot after mission
11.

It's the mission with the truck and the skulls ? Because I'm stuck here :/
Can't find a way to extract the truck without being killed by the skulls.

Go unlock the cardboard box fast-travel point on it.
you gotta kill them all. it's pretty hard.
I did it with a rocket launcher and grenade launcher.

Ah, ok thanks, I'm currently at 53 hours and don't wanna miss anything.
Sadly I don't, I forget all about research and then go back to it every few hours. It'll appear eventually though, try going back to weapon customisation after you've researched different versions of the assault rifle.

Ok thanks, I'll have to unlock some good weapons now.

some of the game's flaws are starting to rear their head having spent 20+ hours: fast travel problems/mission intro cutscenes add a lot of wasted time, some of the story missions being slightly fancier side ops, overly silent big boss, etc. that said, i think the above mostly hits the spot by virtue of the fact there's no other game quite like it. (psuedo) open world stealth action with this level of gameplay dexterity simply doesn't exist and will unlikely be replicated or improved upon anytime soon.
Was doing a side op just now where I had to extract a skilled soldier. While exploring the outpost they were in, a sandstorm comes through and I was spotted after bumping into someone. Everything quickly turns to shit and the skilled soldier (who happens to be a sniper) starts shooting at me. Quiet quickly starts killing the other soldiers while I make my way over to the skilled soldier. I eventually get to the skilled soldier and I go to tranq him. Just as I pull the trigger on the tranq gun, Quiet fucking shoots the soldier in the head and kills him causing me to fail the side op.
Thanks, Quiet.
Thanks, Quiet.

you don't need to, extract the truck and leave
I got rid of the ones that cause injury because I was fed up of them CONSTANTLY sending people to my sick bay. Funny enough, the ones that cause PTSD or Sickness have been perfectly fine.
My interpretation is that 'has come to' is in the sense that V (Venom Snake?) has come to from his coma.Who knows, may be explained in the game, but that's my take.

To be honest, any Metal Gear is unique when you try to find other games like it.
I'm super enjoying the game but reading these last comments is like way too much for me.

"Come to" as in wake up. Big Boss waking up from his coma.

Quick question about the number of missions. I've heard it's about
. Is that number the number of episodes? I just did the first set of 3 missions after you get to the Mother Base initially, and those have been called episodes yet people here are talking about Chapters. I'm just curious which the count refers to.
36ish
Prologue spoilers:
Nurse calls someone and says it when you wake up at the beginning. V refers to Venom Snake which is what you're called in this game: Punished "Venom" Snake.

It's the last one in the NL tree and needs like level 36 R&D. For reference I'm on mission 14 and have done every side op that's popped up, but still have two tiers to unlock it. It's going to be a while. You get a ton of non-lethal stuff in other trees that are effectively silent earlier though. The sleep grenades and mines are awesome.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
It is explained fully.
This exact same thing has happened to me a couple times. Makes me wonder where Quiet's true loyalties lie...

Do you have to be online to build FOBs and a security team? I've not unlocked it yet but I noticed DD's stuff needs a security team to research.

DD with his Sif moves is the one true buddy.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the specialists I need to craft Fultons that can extract vehicles? Missions 8 and 9 gave me PTSD flashbacks to those hours I spent hating my life playing the Peace Walker vehicle missions. Tanks only take five rockets in this game compared to like 50 in PW, but if you're facing more than one you still have to call in a Supply Drop, and those take way longer in this game than in PW.
I found it basically impossible to do this without killing them since they target and destroy it.
Being able to fulton vehicles now would make it much easier, but I was a decent chunk off from having that unlocked at the time.
You hear it
in the beginning,
It's just like what people say IRL.
"He came to this morning."
"He has woken up. He has come to."
It's said verbally more often than it's written down. I've got a vibe it's bad translation/localisation.

Ending spoilers
V has come to, can't mean venom since he's not venom snake yet. may be referring to the 5th snake.
100% couldn't agree more. Good boy.

How so? I saw people thinking this when they thought it was meant as "V has come too" but if you read it correctly it isn't a bad translation at all.
"Let them talk!"
*repeats the exact same thing he's been saying the last 5 minutes*

He's taken a weird turn. I liked him in Peace Walker, but here he's kind of a vindictive jerk. I guess torture does that to a person.

I was reading an article about this game, is it true the ONLY female character in this game is the scantily clad and doesn't talk much sniper, Quiet?
Really? No generic female soldiers? No female medic of some sort?
I mean I knew Kojima was somewhat sexist but that's pretty bad if true.
