I'd like to know this as well.

So I just updated my mother base with another facility, it said it will take 1hrs to complete. Now is that 1hrs gameplay time, or can I just wait 1hrs in the real world and it will be built?

Playtime.

what exactly are key dispatch missions? Are they the ones with a yellow dot next to them? or the ones with different emblems next to them?

Yellow anything, yes. To be safe, always consider yellow dots to mean things you should do or tapes you should listen to.

That's what I figured. I skipped a lot of the early blueprint ones. I'll try that later. Thanks guys!
There's a missile launcher vehicle all the way down the mountain (not sure what those are called), you can spam missiles at pods on it's back and by the time it does the red mist you should have go it below 80 percent.
Its weak points are the white tubes on it's back and near it's belly. It doesn't do that much more damage but it's noticeable. Expect to resupply a bunch of times. Also keeping the chopper alive helps, even if it has base weapons. There are also a few tanks on the road but you'll need to use them fast before it uses the mist attack which destroys all of them, not to mention direct fire.
Okay. First major gripe.
You're having some down time going through Side-Ops. You're going through the world passing camps. You've just completed a Side-Op and need to get to a delivery point to move to the next S-O which is miles and miles away. You accidentally get the attention of some troops as you pass by. No problem, right? You'll just keep going, the delivery you're heading to is still a little distance yet. You arrive at the delivery point and get in your box. You can't be delivered because if any camp is even on fucking alert, not combat alert, you're fucked. You'll have to take out the entire camp before you can be delivered. That or head back to your chopper and redeploy and waste GMP.

I have devolved to praying to the fuel gods for sustenance at this point. That shit is nowhere to be found.

Finished Mission 46.
What the fuck.
I'm probably the most pathologically cheating-averse person on this forum and even I think I'm an idiot for just not using a trainer at this point.
I've seen 2 things that require it, and 1 of them needed 2000.
Edit: The other needs 120, and its upgraded version 150

I've shown all the
to the person I need to show them to, but I still have a ???? one in my library. How do I get the last one after
?

Huh just found out you can shoot out power lines, they will break up realistically depending where you shoot, and it seems like they would electrocute anyone that touches them.
That didn't really work. Meh.

No.
Mostly. But they also fund your joke stuff towards the end like the almighty Iblis item ;3
It's just outside of the room the person is in.

So FINALLY had enough free time to finish it today. Took me close to 35hrs and only at 60%. Right now i'm very mixed.
pros
- Gameplay is amazing. I just wish there were more key moments.
- I surprisingly loved the tapes.
- Buddy system is fun. Didn't use D Walker once though. Loved DD.
- Cutscenes are top notch. Best i've seen in any game. Wish there were more.
- Game is gorgeous. I would kill for a MGS3 remake with this engine. Even with the dated gameplay.
cons
- Tv credits is so fucking dumb. Kojima was obviously playing too many Telltale games.
- Story is easily the worst of the bunch. It definitely has it's awesome momements but
- Boss battles are
- No
- The last episode is god awful. I refuse to believe this was the original last mission.
Probably comes off like i hate the game but i didn't. Personally as a whole MGS4 is the better finale. Even if you hate the story the epicness was there. With that said, MGS3 is still and will forever will be king.

The Truth tapes are fantastic.

the core story doesn't connect shit. The Tapes is the only saving grace. Skull Face is the worst main villian by far.
garbage. Wtf happened? Did this man forget what he did with MGS1-4?
time jump or Hayter. Fuck you. 
Replay the whole damn thing and end it with a twist that was predicted literally when first announced is...ugh so bad.

Anyone find it odd that you can't shoot out lights? I though this wouldn't have been a problem with dynamic lighting.
You must be using a gun with no penetration. You can shoot just about every light.

I've done it with lights outside. Which lights do you mean? Same with lanterns.

When you interrogate someone and they say a specialist is here, and the map is updated, how do you tell which one it is ? Is it the enemies with yellow dots on them ?

So,
MGSV, The Witcher 3, Bloodborne...
Anyone else thinking Bloodborne?

That's bullshit. See, I don't like this. If you're offline there should be a limit of how much can be taken from you per day or something and it shouldn't be nearly that much.

What? If you're saying which is best you already have them in the right order, otherwise I don't get the connection.

In my opinion bloodborne is the best of those three only because MGSV story sucks, while bloodborne has an awesome one and awesome gameplay, but MGSV is tons of fun to play
Unfortunately.
U can shoot out lights. Just not with tranq darts.

I still only use the tranquilliser gun as my main weapon. I always try to go in stealthy so no loud guns.
Wait, you can be delivered outside of Mother Base? What? Gah, the things I wish I'd known... I've just done about 20 side ops in a row
trying to unlock fucking story missions and cutscenes... bullshit...

Well shit. I was so happy when I found a container with 7500 fuel only to realise it was unprocessed.
God damn it.
There is so much f2p type bullshit in game but with the real world money options. Not that I would actually pay money to buy resources but it's ridiculous.
Only right way to play
You can be delivered outside Mother Base via chopper! No joke. I was once transferred to an unconstructed medical base. The helicopter just hovered above where the helipad was supposed to be.

game will beat this out of you. i don't know how it is possible to play pacifist like other games. it basically forces you at times to be action hero. I hate it.

Well that sucks arse that is what made metal gear Metal Gear 😕 i can't say I'm too interested now but i will have to buy it as its more than likely the last of the Metal Gear Solid series
Thanks fellas
It's really not that worthwhile because of what you quoted. I find hitting a checkpoint, esc->return to acc much faster 90% of the time, even with heli flight time when you return. The spots looks like the ones you can use Mother Base, but you need unlock them by going to each one and taking the invoice next to spot. Also
you get a blueprint for a new type of box when you unlock all the fast travel spots on a map
Only thing I'm forced to destroy is helicopters and skulls.
The latter I'm okay with. The former... well, I guess it's hard to fulton a helicopter.
