the mission where you have to destroy the apc convoy? I know the "extreme" version is mission 33, idk what the regular was
Not as costly as not putting units in direct contact with you and getting attacked near endgame ;-;

The 90% of the bosses are fantasy, So.. Is a fantasy game with a Satiric touch.
Yeah, it's worth doing even if it is tedious as all fuck.
I ended up
moving 200+ people to quarantine...which needless to say was a blast on a giant menu with no filters.
I spent about an hour
quarentining people
The decision to put this shit in the game makes absolutely no sense.
I don't understand. (Ep 46 spoilers)
Just finished and found out in the credits that Eli was Liquid Snake. Kind of a weird way to confirm that, no? Last tape I heard was that the DNA results were a mismatch. Now obviously, that makes sense now, but nothing has been shown to me that says definitely that it's Liquid.

Stupid fucking mission. They never listened at all. I put the wait command on so I could go ahead and clear a few enemies and they just ran out and followed anyway alerting them.

Mission 45 can go fuck off. Keep doing fine then insta 1 hit kill out of nowhere.
Yep, it happened to me too.
Wait, there's a version with Shinkawa at on the front?
That's debatable, I would say each of the games have elements of satire, the games like to point out flaws of typical action tropes, and the tropes of it's own series.
MGS 1 and 2 sort of bring to light the problems with the heroic figure and hero worship, especially when you get to MGS2. MGS2 could sort of be viewed as a satire of MGS1 and sequels in general, then MGS3 pokes fun at MGS2 with the Raikov character and the design of the Metal Gear mech.
MGR has a few references to MGS4 that feel like jabs to that games story.

Mission 31 complete... Now that was a rush!
The DNA results are a mismatch because the guy you're playing (Venom Snake) isn't Big Boss

Stay inside, call a bunch of airstrikes on the big tanks, and then use rockets and C4 on the smaller ones. It can be frustrating, though, yeah.
What a thrill...

It's when the
airborne
Sadly spoiled myself looking for some tips on mission 45
I
tranq'd them all, airlifted in a truck, threw them all in the bed and fultoned it out. Worked lol.
Yes.

WARNING, IT CAN BE TEMPTING TO REVEAL WHAT'S BEHIND SPOILER TAGS, BUT THIS IS LATE GAME STUFF, DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU'VE BEATEN THE GAME.
Moving on.
Not on PC (probably will get it on that eventually, just PS4 for now ATM). Good to know though.
So can I play online during this? Will the servers record my game progress and override any backups, or is it really only for FOB stuff? Also, is there a way to backup these saves without having PS+? I let my PS+ expire recently, going to renew it soon for MGO3, so I was wondering if there is a reliable way of backing this up besides using PS+.
If I can I will probably just backup the save, do the stuff to get to the end and then restore the backup and never try to trigger the end again.

It is too high a cost, and legitimately angering for story events to restrict gameplay permanently in a game with no built-in way to backup and reverse progress. Especially because a big part of the game is repeating missions and events that have already occurred. Why restrict replays of past events with current buddies?
I agree that the story up to Mission 31 leaves a lot to be desired. As you are still in the early parts of Chapter 2 I won't say anything about it. I'll just say that for me, Mission 31 and the things that happen in Chapter 1 in general, remove any chance of the game picking up the majority of the narrative in my opinion, namely the number of story threads ended unsatisfactorily and abruptly.
I'm not actually finished with Chapter 2, but unfortunately I've been accidentally spoiled on so many things in it I don't care about most of the rest of the story.

It is. I have been asking if someone could share this.
First the forced FOB garbage, and now this? I was really looking forward to just messing around in the game after getting through the story, but this is a serious bummer.
Straight up garbage, man. I don't get it.

Can someone explain me how the processing of the resources works ? I have a lot of unprocessed resources but the processing give me way too little... And I've been wondering if it's useful to farm unprocessed resources when I already have quite a lot (unless the processing works with a % of the unprocessed resources).
Use the D Walker with gatling gun. It's nice

Kinda does make sense in context of the narrative and themes of the game
Still, it is a bummer.

Tell me about it!
That's what I just found out trying to get help with mission 45 lol. I take it if I'm on this mission I'm passed the point of avoiding this bummer?

Mission 16 Spoilers:
Are you supposed to be able to beat Mission 16 by killing the Skulls at this point in the game? It seems impossible without some kind of "Honey Bee" like guided rocket launcher.
I ended up just stopping the convoy close to the point where the exit the airport, luring the skulls away with some magazine throws, fultoning out the truck, immediately taking an APC and driving full speed to the mission border.

there's a few other indications its Liquid. First being he definitely identified Big Boss as his father. Then you have his thirst for vengeance against Big Boss due to being an inferior clone, triggering his bond with Psycho Mantis despite Skull Face's presence. Plus physical appearance and the British accent.
Finished Chapter 1 and I don't want to play any more, because I enjoyed the 50 hours I've already put into it and I feel like playing any more would just start damaging that.
The story is so bad and the cutscenes so poorly directed and boring to watch, the thought of having to go through more of the game is really bumming me out.

Have a question about a scene that was in one of the earlier trailers but I haven't seen it yet. It involves Quiet. I'm up to mission 22 btw.
.
there was a scene in one trailer that showed Quiet (I think) or another POW in prisoner scrubs being basically waterboarded. It seemed to be taking place in Afghanistan and they were being held head down in water
That's late game
I like that your opinion completely changed to mine in 30 hours
I knew it would :V
But yeah, this game feels like an insult to mgs in random ways.

It's possible but running works too.
I'm not an MGS fan, that's why I loved the 50 hours of gameplay that I just went through without caring that there wasn't a good story or any compelling characters to keep me interested. Game is still my front-runner for GOTY, because I haven't enjoyed myself in a sandbox game like that in a looooong time.
I just uh... don't want to play it anymore.
