Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain |OT2| A Franchise Robbed Of Its Future
- Thread starter Vally
- Start date
When you aim the weapon there should be a button prompt in the lower right corner to switch between primary/underbarrel.
The more weapons you research, the more you'll be able to mix and match. So like if you want a particular shotgun or grenade launcher for your underbarrel, you'll first need to research that shotgun or grenade launcher. Note that certain barrels support different attachment types or none at all - I didn't even know my tranq sniper rifle could support attachments until I changed the barrel.

I dare anyone to cut it closer. (Mother Base target exercise thing)

Up to mission 30 now. 44% @ 60 hours.
I feel like missions 20-30 have gone by really fast. Some missions were very short for me probably due to Quiet being so OP.
Feel like I need to slow down a bit more.

Mission 30's design is
a much needed breath of fresh air, there needed to be more missions like that. Felt like an act that got cut from MGS4, had the same wide-linear feel as that game's first two acts.

The prosthetic arm upgrade called
is pretty sweet. Now I don't have to use sneaking suit all the time and worry about getting too close to enemy before they can hear me.

I somehow lost weapon customization. How is that possible?

Once you've turned on Auto Assign for staff at Mother Base you can't turn it off?
I guess I'll have to sort by recruitment then.

Just got done with Mission 30.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaan. Just when I thought Metal Gear couldn't get any dumber than it already was.

You're not in the ACC or MB.
I can feel the panic.
Unless there's a side-op circle there, don't bother looking for things. If there's something to show, it'll force you back there.

Oh it can be turned off there? Yeah I'm in the field.

Prisoner gets transported to another base where he is interrogated. There are a few more prisoners there
Just started properly playing the PC copy I won on the GAF prize draw!
Onto the third or fourth Afghan mission...amazing so far, and really keeping my attention more than any other open world game I've played this gen.
Whether it stacks up to MGS3 is not known to me yet though! Gonna be hard to beat that one.

It's just that it would have been amazing.

If I went back to a mission just to fulton out a transportation specialist, do I need to finish the whole mission or can I helicopter out of there?
So, mission 45.
There HAS to be something wrong here.
What am I doing wrong, GAF?
There HAS to be something wrong here.
I'm firing killerbee missiles right into these tanks and they're basically sponges. Usually 3 rocket launcher missiles did the trick, but GODDAMN these just won't break. I can hide behind houses, so dying (so far) is kinda impossible, but I can't seem to win either.
Which mission is the transport specialist in?

Use a better RL. Falkenberg holds loads (14 I think) and is a better weapon. Are you reaching the checkpoint? Going in and out of cover is the best way - just do it better. Took me like 3 hours to do that mission so I feel your pain!

By the time it was over, I believe my eyes had rolled back so far into my head that I could see my own brain.

I answered my own question. Took the helicopter to abort the mission after fultoning the prisoners I wanted and there wasn't any problem. Time to go fulton every vehicle I can find.

Finished
today. Solid ending to that act, looking forward to what happens in

Chapter 2
Snake and Kaz decimating Skullface's body. Yikes
My favourite romantic scene in the game.
M45:
My god this is a pain in the ass. There's a sandstorm happening (I don't even know if this one is scripted) that makes everything worse, since you can't make use of it to fulton the tanks. Instead I have to wait for it to pass, because if I clear things too soon, reinforcements come and among them is a tank that instakills me. I don't even see the missile, it feels like I stepped on a mine. I lost count of how many supply drops I'm requesting. Really ridiculous.
I hate Peace Walker and this game screamed Peace Walker 2 throughout the campaign, but this mission in particular solidified that impression to a 100%.

I think what is continuously frustrating me about Big Boss being a non-reactive sideline watcher is that on the tapes and in SOME cutscenes he is perfectly emotive, sometimes grizzled, sometimes sassy, sometimes angry. Sutherland's voice acting is good and very subtle which makes scenes where Boss is silent and doesn't blink so jarring. I just saw 2 cutscenes in a row
where Boss talks, reacts and conversates. So why the everloving fuck doesn't he in others? The problem is the game is inconsistent in its portrayal of Boss. They can't decide what they want him to be. It's so jarring and takes me out of the game entirely.
Quiet almost knifing that dude's esophagus and then Boss bringing Eli back to base (even tho Quiet tranqed him and deserves all credit)

Damnit, I've been played like damn fiddle! Someone told me that the full armored guy's weaknesses was that you could shoot them behind the legs, so I tested it during a side ops:

At least DD was there to help xD

Or maybe Kojima's idea of letting Big Boss mostly express himself via facial expressions was just a bad idea.

But he's all over the tapes! Argh!
So, I S ranked it, but I think the score is fucked up. This time I took like 20 minutes, because I already knew the road, I skipped cutscenes etc.
But I did VERY bad compared to my 26 minutes run: I spent like 5 minutes dealing with
Mazinger Z
Why?
My first run was perfect compared to this :l

I know he based on Mad Max's almost silent protagonist, but yeah, it comes quite jarring here.
It's a shame he won't have another shot at doing this.
Lmao, I want to rush through the missions just to see what the fuzz is all about with late chapter 2. But that would mean I would have to grind side ops eventually, and I'll be damned if I do that.

Because for some missions, speed is the most important factor that determines your rank. I don't know why they did it, but that's just how it is. Completing mission tasks will boost your score a lot, too.
Thanks. I'll check'm both out. I redo missions over and over just to 'recruit' the best members and find all the resources I can.
