Lol you need 150k Heroism points for codename Hero.
Getting caught by a drone is not one

Getting caught by a drone is not one
Have you finished the game? It's not just the lack of new missions, it's the lack of any resolution to the story.

I don't know how many times that cardboard box saved my life.
Remember in MGS2, enemies could shoot holes through the box and light from their flashlight would beam through the holes? I wonder if this is possible in this game?

I feel it is definitely an intentional game design and anyone who played Peace Walker should recognize it. The main game basically is finished and over with Chapter 1, and everything else should be thought as post-game content.

Are you sure? My friend has more than 150k and she's not a hero yet.
The trophy triggered EXACTLY as I was getting caught, I don't think getting caught gives you heroism points at all, so even if I was 5 heroism points short of the requirements it still wouldn't make sense.
My heroism points were at 170k after that invasion.
No I have not. I'm not defending the design or the story, I'm talking entirely about how people have been responding to the reuse of missions in Chapter 2 as the game being "rushed". That in particular I feel is just a hold over from Peace Walker design philosophy, for better or worse.

There are two requirements:
1) Beat mission 31
2) Have 150k Heroism points.
I got the trophy at 150k and it's even mentioned in the CE guide.

I don't even know if that is the issue, I don't understand why 157 side-ops are needed. The main missions that actually have story elements in them are very good. They could have focused less on putting so many side-ops and actually put effort into crafting more of those. It just frustrates me because there are some really amazing missions in here, but then there are a bunch of crappy useless ones.
I just finished one of those right now and although it was awesome would have liked it if it was something completely different mission wise. This stuff should be saved for a side-op not part of a main episode. It's dumb that the episodes get reused.

Mission 29...
Yeah, because stealth is my problem with this one. Thanks.

I understand where you're coming from. This whole game is basically Peace Walker 2, and I liked chapter 2 more than the side-ops and occasional Zardonov hunts in PW, there's defiantly more story between end of Chapter 1 and end of 2 in TPP than there was between defeating Peace Walker and the Paz/Zeke fight in PW. But there are literally very clear story threads just left on the table, by the end -- you'll probably not even realize you've seen the end for a few hours if you're not talking to people that have played the game. The mission that was unfinished and shown in video form of the collectors edition is the true ending of the story, and it doesn't exist in the game, it's just not there, and it sucks.

I think i only have three major story things left and i almost just want to spoil them for myself. I really dont want to grind out the rest.
I guess it's possible that the trophy showed up late, but it was much much later, after finishing chapter 1, I did the legendary
Jackal
EDIT: And my friend did beat Chapter 1 and has over 150k points and still no trophy.
Episode 29 strategy:
That triggers the trophy, yeah. Or at least should. To get actual hero status to allow you to infiltrate nuke FOBs, you also need every codename from what I've read. At least, I'm close to 500k heroism and I still can't.
Straight away, run left and head towards the corner of the airport where there's an opening. Ignore Codetalker, they'll be more focused on you. Either use D Walker with an upgraded gattling gun or use a rocket launcher. As you're on the edge of the mission area, they won't be able to surround you and everything can then be dodged or CQC countered while you blast them away. Did it second time.

That's some weird shit right there. Perhaps if they gave her some clothes we'd be fine.
You mean the code names you get after each mission? I don't think I got all of them, but how do I check and make sure of that? All of them show up in the encyclopedia whether you got them or not.

I feel like the next OT title should be "A Franchise Granted Its Future"
This game is just getting better and better. 25 hours, 30%.. I love it.

On the iDroid Mother Base screen, go to database. Anything with a ??? is a codename you don't have.
So in terms of main missions I got to numbers 33 , 34 and I notice
Please respond without any spoilers at all.
they are already completed missions previously in the campaign, just at higher difficulty. Which is disappointing me a bit. Do these count as main missions like before or is it just optional stuff?

So, remember when Kojima said something along the lines of Ground Zeroes playing a part in Phantom Pain, and that it would be something never seen in video games. Many people assumed you could return to it, but I've yet to see that as an option. Is importing characters that I think you can unlock naturally in game anyway what Kojima meant? Am I missing something?

The Camp Omega/Ground Zeroes stuff got cut from the game

I think I was lucky not to get that.
Or was I? Any hints at what opens up missions beyond 42? Haven't finished 42 yet but I did 29 with Quiet.

Yep i'm not buying it either.
Plus, the game was reportedly 'finished' months before launch.
I think reusing missions with different rules is merely a design decision to force people to try different approaches and appreciate different aspects of the sandbox.
The game shines when you think out of the box, and a lot of things you'd never come across if you didn't play the same scenarios more than once.
I have all of them, I don't remember getting all of them, I didn't even try getting any code name other than

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Technically, he was right. It was never seen in video games, including Phantom Pain!

damn, the game crashed completely yesterday..
I was on a main mission, and i just had to eliminate one more guy. Riding on my horse and it just froze and stopped.
I hope this doesn't happen more often. That's a waste of time.

Guess which one I'm missing? HINT:
It's now impossible for me to get it
Weird, I've not had one crash yet and I'm closing in on 80 hours. Hopefully it's a one off for you!

Late game side ops spoiler question:
Is there anything I need to know/have going into the Man on Fire remains Side Op? I feel like I need something.

Yeah i hope so too. I didn't read much about crashes either.
Alternative strategy from the Piggyback guide:
Equip your most powerful sniper rifle, ignore Code Talker, and leg it to the rear of the hanger (on the side facing the downed chopper). At the corner, there's a ladder that you can climb to the roof of the hanger. From there, mark the Skulls and snipe for headshots. They'll mostly just warp around, use their rock throw attack (which won't hit you when you're prone), their exploding rock summoning attack (just move to a different spot on the roof), or, rarely, teleport close for a melee attack (dodge or CQC counter). Should make short work of them. I got an S rank on both versions of this battle with this strategy.

It's interesting to see so many people say this isn't a Metal Gear game. I mean, other than the lack of cutscenes and relative lack/quality of bosses, this is as Metal Gear a game as any in the series. Are cutscenes what really defines what Metal Gear is to so many people?
That being said, it's interesting to juxtapose Metal Gear Solid IV and V. Both are divisive. They are almost opposites in that MGSIV is a short, linear, extremely heavily story/cutscene based game; whereas MGSV is vastly open, experimental, and light on story/cutscenes. While I believe MGSV is the better game, I will admit there was a catharsis from finishing MGSIV with its avalanche of nostalgia and straight up fanservice. With MGS V, while I actually do like the Chapter 1 story, there wasn't any catharsis at all. It was very cool and interesting, but I didn't feel closure. Considering this is almost certainly the last real Metal Gear Solid thing, that is a weird feeling.

Could someone explain what this means?

tranqing the skulls for parasite resources
Nah, I got the actual trophy, I just don't have real hero status that allows me to
dispose of an FOB nuke
develop my own nuke, which means I could actually get my base nuked and lose almost everything if I fail to dispose of it....
I did Mission
and it was okay. It was more interesting than I thought it'd be. It made me figure out one flaw with the game's design and it's that if you're not in the world, you can't go back there without selecting a Mission. What a bummer :|
I was finally able to develop the
as well as the

I was finally able to develop the
Cargo Fulton System, so now I can leave Missions in STYLE
Stealth Camo which means I can blow through the game now. I know some purists are raging at me, but I don't really care.
Yeah, the story in chapter 1 was trash. But from the synopsis cutscene for Chapter 2, it looks more character focused than plot focused, which is something I personally prefer, I can already tell that I'll like chapter 2.
And I loved replaying missions in Peace Walker on hard, so that won't be a problem for me.
You set your emblem as butterfly image.

That sounds weirdly specific. Aren't those called emblem parts? Isn't there butterfly text too?
I took it to mean it doesn't happen if you were already given butterfly, but the wording doesn't make sense if so.
You can there's a freeroam tab.

You guys encountered this? Mission starts, objectives are explained and then suddenly the conversation turns a bit awkward, because I already completed those same objectives by accident in an earlier mission. Mission ends. It's pretty funny (but you get no rank...).
I had to destroy some communication devices in an outpost.
