Speak for yourself. Gameplay is king for me. And this has it in spades. So personal preference what outweighs what.

Spoilers regarding events after mission #45 and Quiet
is there any way to get her back on the PC version via mods or something? The fuck? Having her mess around with guards while I sneak was one of the more fun mechanics when I just wanted to fuck around and they take that away from me even in replayable missions?
The only time I've had her alert anyone is if you order an attack, or put her in cover mode. If you use cover always remember to disable it when you move on otherwise she will go on a rampage. I think if you get attacked she will defend automatically as well.
Yea... just disconnect. The game doesn't have to be running online. I usually just collect my daily rewards and then play offline.

Putting that D-Walker to work
D-walker, Honey Bee and
baiting them for melee and winning every CQC QTE
The game automatically connects and there is no way to disable that unfortunately. So you'll have to load the game and then disconnect from the main menu before doing anything else. Don't try to open your iDroid as it will lock it and try to make you create the FOB. I can't remember if it will even let you close the iDroid once it's locked into that FOB creation tutorial.
This happens around mission 22.

Would a good way to maximize the number of times you win in FOB invasion be to only build one Command Platform on your FOB, considering it's the most complex platform along with R&D? I think it would also prevent other players from stealing your ressources, as that platform does not host containers.
I like using his shock knife. Electrocution dog.

You should make an FoB so that you can send 4 teams on dispatch missions and get more room for staff. Don't really have to manage it.
Just build two or more platforms and get drones. This should beat most people.

Thanks, just what I was looking for. Hope future patches don't fuck with it.
Yeah and if you have the PC version, there is a way around any invasion losses.
I already did the tutorial for creating the FOB the other day. Now they tried to force me to attack someone or something. Things like this really kills the pacing of the game.

Yeah, you can really toy with them in mission 29. I enjoyed that mission as well.

holy shit...I guess achievement sites have had the wrong list of achievements up for the game. People, including myself, have been trying to obtain achievements that do not exist within the game. Primarily, two achievements for capturing all outposts in afghanistan and africa...these were only listed on the xbox one version, but turns out they do not even exist within the game. Also, they seem to have the achievement listed for reaching lvl 50 with all units listed as reaching lvl 99.
I am wondering if the games achievements went through a last second revision and these somehow slipped through to achievement sites

I totally agree. I was getting super pissed off at the forced multiplayer.
They want you to invade your own FOB for practice. I did it and that was the last time it bugged me.

I'm on mission 7 and so far all I got were D-rankings
What are general tips to get S or an A ranking? Heck even a B ranking for that matter.

Is there a way to sell or dispose of my FOB, or am I forced to start a new game?

Bit of a story/series related question GAF: I'm nearly finished MGS2, about to embark on MGS3 and PW, my question is: should I possibly leave MGS4 for after MGSGZ/V?
Would that be a brilliant or very dumb idea - for those that have played both 4 and V.
I'm loving the story so far, so I guess that is my focus above all.

Complete the mission as fast as possible. You can even kill people. Time is what influences the most your score.
Considering how the ending of MGSV is unfinished because of Konami management, I would encourage you to play MGS4 last. Its conclusion is great.

Don't take too long. I guess thats the biggest one.
I explore and collect as much as i can too. Extra objectives will give you more points. And a no reflex, no alarms and no kills will give you even more points.
100% accuracy will also give you a lot of extra points.
I dunno... game is weird. because if i engage and shoot everyone it will give me just the same score or better than me trying to be sneaky. Unless i am very fast.
How long do you take on a mission?
You should play MGS4 before MGSV.

Be faster, avoid alerting enemies and taking hits.
But really, for a first playthrough, I recommend doing like me and just ignoring ranks or going back and replaying secondary objectives. Just focus on clearing the missions, doing side ops, building up your base, and enjoying the game.
It will be easier, and more fun, to go back for the ranks and objectives later (if you care) when you have more advanced gear. Some secondary objectives are even impossible the first time as you need upgraded gear to do them.
Think that's the one i'm on. If it's my own bloody base for practice i'm just gonna try and run around and get "killed". Might be faster.
Perfect.
45 actually. Hm, I just assumed it would be the Intel team, but maybe it's some other factor entirely.
Who wouldn't, though? ͡° ͜ ͜ʖ ͡ -

S-ranked Mission 11. Assuming this is one of the easiest ones to S-rank but it still felt good
I think it will fail like a normal mission.
Bring a power weapon. They can see you from far away.

This is where I suck. I play MGSV like I'm playing Commandoes: Behind Enemy Lines. Meaning I take way too long. This is because I want to tag everything with my binoculars, study the patrols, plan an entry and an escape route, and figure out the best traveling salesman strategy to hit all the goals. I'd have assumed that a game that allows you to employ stealth would give you leeway in devising a strategy.
Fuck I had the ending spoiled and I'm only on episode 9.
I thought someone was starting their playthrough (they were in the introduction) and, yeah... People were already throwing around Big Medic opening in some places, so I kind of put it together before this, but I wasn't sure! ; ;
There is nothing you get from an S rank that will help you move through teh story. I would just advise you to have fun and take the time you need.
You are not missing out on a secret unlock. Everything you get from S rank is just emblem stuff.
Just have fun
Ha! Staf 1, sucky multiplayer 0. I found a thingy at the start of the map that gave me the option to withdraw. Hurray!

are you sure you sent the message to the right person? My inbox is empty
Or just sneak it. Climb the AC "poles" and clamber over your decks. All you have to do is reach the top, pop the AI "invader" and you win. It's easy.

I actually sent it twice cause I noticed my sent folder was empty, but that didn't go through either. I'll just paste what I typed here, sorry if it is the wrong tape.
Anyone else that reads this, this is a Chapter 2 spoiler:
Huey is questioned about what he was doing in his lab. He reveals Strangelove developed the Metal Gears AI and that SkullFace killed her. Ocelot questions that suggesting he killed her by trapping her in the pod suffocating her, then Huey claims she killed herself. Ocelot then says there was a scar on her abdomen, leading to Huey admitting they had a child, Hal.
There is no other reason for a delivery point to appear on the map other than obtaining the invoice and thus unlock it for fast travel.
It doesn't make sense to have points on map that you can't travel to.

I have a question for people who have completed everything.
I just finished chapter 1, and got Volgin from a side mission.
My question is: do I need to do the extra hard missions (the blue ones) to unlock some cinematics and other stuff related to the scenario ? Or can I simply do the yellow missions ?

Play as you want, just enjoy the game on your first playthrough. Once you get better gear and know the maps well, S rank will come very easily.
The scores don't really matter your first time through, play how you like.
Lol. Those fights are literally the only time where D-Walker proves useful. Use the Gatling Gun. Done.
