Yes, you can finish the game but that specific mission won't unlock.
*salute*
I think you have to.

I think you have to.
I think the case is stronger for best stealth game than it is for best open world game. This is most definitely not the best open world game.
I can't fully agree because every time I play, and I go to Fulton guys, I'm very often in a base surrounded by other guys who will get fully alerted when they see the Fulton. I guess I can just try to tranq all of them then start Fultoning, but later in the game they all wear helments and body armour, so tranquing gets harder and harder and I'm more likely to be spotted all the time.
I often sneak into/out of bases Chaos Theory style without being seen and without Fultoning anyone because I know they'll all see the Fulton and go ape-shit.
I'm with you on Thief and Chaos Theory, though. I'm adding MGSV to that trifecta of perfect stealth. Mark of the Ninja gets an honorable mention.

Mission 33 really throws you into it, huh?
Yea the actual open world aspect is pretty pointless most of the time.
Uh what?
Can you get another one because that seems like it would effectively make those mission impossible or at the very least tedious with how long they take to complete.
If you're out in the field, is there a way to have the helicopter come and pick you up and drop you off somewhere else or do you have to return to the helicopter menu? I know this can be done on Mother Base by holding the button down once you get picked up, but not in the field.

Is it worth unlocking that specific mission? Am I going to miss something good if I skip it?
I'm hoping there's some sort of message that pops up saying it's been retrieved, but I doubt it.
Well I didn't lose it, my stupid combat team did, lol.
Yahtzee took on Metal Gear Solid V. No spoilers in this review.

The verdict:
He likes the core game play but feels it's too stuffed for it's own good and thinks there's way too much downtime in between the game play that wears down on the enjoyment. Also unlike previous MGS games he doesn't find the characters fun anymore.

Those are the dispatch missions, by which they mean they can no longer use the

Hey guys, did you know that you could play as a badass woman in TPP ? She even appears in cutscenes (not all of them) and they even made some assets w/ voice acting to say all of what Snake says in gameplay, that's really neat ! And you can almost play as her during all the playthrough :

I think the Fulton is harmful to the stealth game design. I'd even say it's at odds with it to an extent.
It creates a bias towards non-lethally incapacitating enemies, which restricts the options as to how you might play (even when you don't plan on Fulton-ing someone). You also have to abandon the sense that you might kill a high-rank soldier to play lethally, which is difficult.
It also makes toilets and dumpsters a lot less important to be aware of. If you knew that your best option for disposing of bodies was to put them in one of those locations, rather than get away from onlookers and send them into the sky, you would become a lot more aware of them. That also means that you'd probably use them more to hide in.
It's a feature that is only harmful to MGSV as a stealth game.
So can you unlock it later on?

Yeah I did this for a while. Being able to play as different genders and ethnicities is the secret counterpoint to all the objectifying Quiet bullshit the game has going on.

So do I have to do those total stealth, subsistence and extreme mission to unlock new missions with te yellow dots or is doing side-ops enough?

That's a Motherbase soldier.
You can play as motherbase soldiers.
You could do that since Peace Walker.
It's good for going loud on missions I think with the gating etc. It's pretty fast for travel. And it's sort of funny trying to sneak around in it.

You're a genius. My Phantom Pain experience has taken a significant upturn from the already incredible levels it was flirting with thanks to this. I also added the Killer Instinct soundtrack to my helicopter custom soundtrack as well because....well because Hisako's theme.

Man fuck mission 31.
Every time I manage to reach a vehicle, Sahl just blows it the fuck up. If I take enough time to run away, by the time I turn around and aim, Sahl just blows it the fuck up. If I manage to get that far, I have to drive backwards and end up getting stuck on rocks.

Fucking hell, my Base Development Staff is full of troublemakers, people keep getting into sickbay from there all the time. I rooted 9 of the troublemakers out and they were some of the best people working there, all A or A+ people.
Do I just have to discharge them or are there ways to make them stop being harassing assholes?

Diplomats cancel out Troublemakers. But it's not really viable to go about only recruiting Diplomats. You'll probably have to Dismiss some soldiers.

How am i supposed to help a player im supporting?
Bit of a spoiler there.
I agree early that early on it's bad. I would tranq entire bases and fulton them. Now that my base is getting more full, I only fulton people who have a skill I need or have really good stats.
It's now making me play more stealthily because sometimes the guy I need is surrounded by a bunch of jackasses and I need to figure out how to get them out of the way. If there was no fultoning, I would just walk around the entire group and never engage them. Besides, using the fulton is a choice (aside from acquiring specialists). If you want to make the game more challenging for yourself, only use it when you need to. I could take a missile launcher, grenade launcher, and call in air strikes on every mission if I wanted to but I wouldn't then complain that they're harmful to MGSV as a stealth game.
I think the uselessness of the toilets and dumpstes is more to do with the low density of guards in general. Why bother putting someone in a dumpster if it would be 5 minutes before someone noticed him on the ground, if they ever noticed?

Every time I come in to this thread And read through it I'm like "yeah I miss the old MGS style, there are a lot of missed opportunities with this one, wasted potential, etc" and then I go back and play the game and I realize I don't even care because the game is so fucking good. It's just a conscious effort on Kojima's part to do somehing vastly different with the series since that's probably the only way he could maintain interest in a series he's been wanting to be done with for years. So it's a great game, and if you think of it through that lens, it's not even really a dissappointing one imo.
Top 3 in the series imo, 26 hours and 28% in.

lol uh yeah please dont record when you're there >_>
Let me tell you about remote play from work on my Vita.
Super low latency, totally playable, but the controls...
If I want to grab and interrogate someone, I wave to Press the R button, touch the upper left of the rear touch panel, move the right analog stick to the correct command, then touch the lower right of the rear panel (which is R3). My fingers are curled up like I'm playing a guitar.

Does anyone have some sales figures for steam on hand? I need this game to sell an absolute ton on PC; I'm really hoping that the sales figures are such that Konami just cannot ignore the amount of money they made on PC sales for MGSV and it damn near forces their money loving hands in releasing the MGS Legacy Collection, (pipe dream), or at least MGS HD Collection on Steam. I need this.....
I need it.

Haha wow, blatant spoilers. Don't click on that if you haven't beaten Mission 31!
According to SteamSpy, it sold almost 500,000 units, give or take a little.

Why does it cost 3400 GMP per mission to wear some fabric on your head?

Very strong opening for PC, as most PC gamers wait a bit to purchase. Steam tends to have the longest legs of all the platforms as well so the sales are guaranteed to go up substantially as time goes on. This basically means Konami needs to hire a decent port house to get started on HD Collection.....I'm not crazy. Please tell me I'm not crazy and that it means this.
Please
