I just finished Episode 31.... wow.
Small question for anyone that has finished 31.
Chapter 2 seems insane

Is there anyway to visit Eli and the other children? The only people I know that I can visit now are Paz, Huey, and Quiet, any way to visit Ocelot, Kaz, Code Talker, or Eli?

Welcome to the Duck Hotel, please enjoy your stay.
Edit:
It's for when you aren't using those items. When you equip your cardboard box or cigar you are actively using it and it fills the slot, but when you stop using it it becomes the "None" slot again. Your weapons are always equipped so there's no "None" slot for those.

How do you assign a song to your helicopter/mother base, by the way? I still don't have a clue on how to do that.
That's exactly what happened. I had tranq'd pretty much everyone and would've had a much easier time if the game just allowed me toYep, same here. In general, I feel that this game is at its best when it stays open-plan. When you're given the option to play however you like it's sublime, but any time it tries to force you down a certain path I start getting frustrated.Quiet and I had already cleared out the whole area around the mine, and I could easily just have had the chopper land right in the middle and loaded everyone straight on. Instead the game insists I travel down a shooting gallery and spawns dudes behind me. I ended up dying about four times and just hating life by the end, but of course the game's dopey ranking system gives me the S-rank for it

Lmao. They're gonna tell legends about this one, boss!
Got a question about some specific side ops (minor Africa spoilers): The whole set of
side ops has disappeared from my list. I read that sometimes side ops will disappear if you have too many in a similar location, but I don't remember where those ones were. Anyone know if this specific set will reappear at a later time, or what I need to do to get them to show up again?

I'm 63 hours in and still on mission 18, so I'd say you're doing good. lol

I play a super stealth build with tranqs only, and until Mission 12, I wasn't feeling the game at all. I'm really really liking it now. Two reasons for this: getting D-Dog, and more combat options. D-Horse is worthless to my playstyle, but D-Dog makes the game simply awesome.
I have a feeling you're probably like me. Keep at it, unlock D-Dog, get a sneaking suit and a tranq rifle, and you will really start to get into it.
In the cassette tape menu, select a song and hit Square to assign it to your helicopter.
Wow I just realized that I managed to totally skip two cutscenes in the game because of the timing during mission 23 (Eli).
I didn't even realize there were meant to be actual cutscenes introducing him, and another cutscene after you beat him. I've heard that some players fought him, but I always thought it was just a matter of whether there was a fight not or. In my case, I approached the ship at night, and when I got to where he was, he was sleeping on the bed to the side, and there were no alerts, so I just popped a headshot tranq at close range and carried him off for an easy S rank. Lol.

So is it a bug that completed side ops that are re-playable have the flashing circle next to them as if they are a new mission? It is annoying to me that side ops says I have 5 missions available but they are all ones I have completed. OCD in me...also poor design if not a bug.
Just finished the game. What a ride that was.
I probably need more time to reflect, and maybe I need to replay it, but I think V is definitely my least favourite MGS. Ultimately, as flawless as it was in the gameplay department, the lack of story/weak story really hurt the game for me.
If MGS1 & 3 are perfect 10s, MGS2 is a 9/10, MGS4 is an 8/10, I'm thinking MGSV is a 8/10 or 7.5/10. To keep things spoiler free, I liked the focus on story in MGS4, even though it was flawed in places. This is obviously not the case in MGSV. I'll take a story heavy MGS over a story lite MGS any day of the week.

So I guess I'm only just waiting for (chapter 2 spoilers)
Is there any way to easily and quickly max my bond with quiet? Ive been bringing her out on side ops but only getting about 3 bond per op.
missions 45 and 46 to pop. I don't plan on doing any of the extreme missions, so I guess I'll just take care of side ops.

Thank you. Now I can finally make my dramatic exits with The Final Countdown blaring through my helicopter.

The way it was meant to be done.
I havent uploaded my GZ save yet, so I don't know (I'll probably do that tonight). I just really like the sneaking suit you get in TPP.
It's not a bug, it's just yet another slightly confusing aspect of the iffy UI and menus.

so I just did a mission where I extracted several tanks, like maybe 4 or 5. Now I am trying to do a dispatch mission and its telling me I dont have a tank, which is required for this. I have fultoned several tanks even before doing that last mission. Do I need to assign vehicles to combat units? and if so, how do I do that?
Edit: actually, I think I have the wrong type of tank...thats a little ridiculous

What's the explanation for it? Side Ops it recommends I do re-do or what?
Certain Side Ops will be replayable at certain times. Basically the game just tries to ensure that at any given time, there are several things to do in Free Roam around the map. The Side Ops which are replayable in an area are usually somewhat random. Nothing to worry about, just focus on the check box to see what you haven't completed yet.

Damn. Hope they change it in a patch. Doubt they will though. Not a huge deal but whatever.
I'm surprised so many people had trouble with 18. I thought it was brilliant.
It was intense and I loved it. I could understand though, if things didn't quite line up for people and they had to do it many times over, how it might be annoying. But it's still well designed and one of my favorite missions so far. At least of the more scripted ones.
The kids always did what I said though. Once I noticed that they took their own path I slowed down to not lose track of them. Sent quite to specific parts to take out people. Took out a few people myself. Had to lay low for almost a full minute once because of the chopper. But I never got caught and we all made it out safely and efficiently.

I have a prisoner rescue side ops available again. Would I be extracting the same prisoner or a random one?

Does the game slow down to a crawl for anyone else when trying to design the emblem? I'm playing on PC.
If so, any known way to fix that? It's frustrating as hell.

From experience it seems to be a new random prisoner but also with high value stats. It doesn't really matter much in the end because as far as recruits on Motherbase go, all the names are kinda randomized anyway.

I have that too.
Apparently a beta patch will fix it, haven't tried it myself: http://www.gamepur.com/guide/20258-mgs-v-phantom-pain-how-fix-emblem-editor-lag.html
edit: Oh it's in an official patch already, never mind then. I like the pace at which they've been doing updates on PC.
It was officially patched on PC a few days ago.

The game starts hitting its stride then outta nowhere back to the filler missions. I really do have a love hate relationship with this game. Love it more then I hate it, but why oh why did Kojima feel the need to put so much bloat into this experience?

It was rushed and had shit cut.

The subsistence missions are actually very good. It's an amazing feeling to complete a mission without any gear and relying only on OSP.
No.
Well, that was weird, I just got the "hero" trophy as soon as a drone caught me while invading someone.
What are the requirements for being a hero? It was my first invasion right after beating Chapter 1, and I finished about ~80 side ops.
I just find it weird that getting caught by a drone is apparently a requirement?

You know, I've seen this a lot, but while it's always true that any game has content which gets cut, is that really the reason for the "reuse" of missions? It seems that people want to believe that such a flaw had to be the result of the game being rushed and that in a perfect world it would never have happened, but having played the shit out of Peace Walker previously, I think it's also possible that it's also something Kojima intended as part of the design.
Chapter 5 of Peace Walker is basically the exact same thing as how people have described Chapter 2 of TPP. I'm not there myself yet, but it sounds identical. A long "post-game" continuation where you are encouraged to replay harder versions of old missions, new and harder versions of side ops, and just basically do optional content until certain flags trigger and you get a new story event. It might not be great design, but considering he's done this twice now in the exact same way, I don't think it's a coincidence or compromise.
