Random question for mission 19:

Spoiler

The cutscene afterwards was in the trailer:

But when I played it, the kid confronting Miller was the orange cap kid in the back. Is there any significance or is that just random?
Also, can the kids be seen on the base or are they absent like Ocelot or especially Miller?

 

[tuxfool]

Still the cutscene kinda came outta nowhere.

Welcome to Chapter 2. Hopefully the rest blends in better

Spoiler

:/

 

[GreyOcelot]

Yeah, that part is one thing that I really never got. The only explanation I can think of is that either

Spoiler

Venom was too out of it at that moment to remember her face clearly due to just waking up and not being 100% certain of the things around him, or we're suppose to suspend our belief here and accept that she's suppose to look different enough to not be recognized by Venom in the story.

Spoiler

i think it's a combination of both of those, and the fact that he saw her burned alive and assumed she was dead. the assassin is dead + quiet looks a little different (naked) + he's an unreliable narrator of what happened when he woke up. that cutscene definitely came out of nowhere though. probably should have happened earlier. there's a lot of issues there in terms of when certain things happen. lots of logistic errors that are counter to what you experience while playing with quiet and huey

 

[Squishy3]

Early chapter 2 yellow side op spoilers. So I just recovered the

Spoiler

AI Pod

. Head back to MB with Quiet and a cutscene starts of

Spoiler

her being tortured with Miller mentioning her being in Cyprus 9 years ago attempting to kill Boss. Kinda wondering why Boss hasn't mentioned anything about her attempting to kill him back then.

Still the cutscene kinda came outta nowhere.

Spoiler

Uh, that didn't happen 9 years ago, it happens the night you leave Cyprus. She's the soldier Ishmael lights on fire with a lighter lol

 

[Gaz_RB]

Is this game down hill after chapter 1? I'm at 38 and game seems not up to par with chapter 1 so far.

Chapter 2 has its moments.

Oh yeah that's true about the

9 years. Was brain-farting. Actually seems weirder now since its only what, a few weeks since that incident. I dunno.

 

[Nose Master]

Guard AI was extremely strange on the last mission I just did. It was a random "get this prisoner" mission I was replaying, dude was in one of the larger afghan bases. I peeled a guard off behind the building, and fulton'd him. Immediately, I'd see a "!" via the dogs markings from a soldier roughly 30m away. He wouldn't call it in, he wouldn't report anything. He'd just bumble over to that exact murder hallway and walk right up to my box. This happened over and over again with each guard around taking turns to come and see what was up until the entire base was empty.

Made the replay super easy, but I'm not sure what was going on there. Do they nerf AI on older missions / keep them where they were at when you originally got the mission?

 

[Love Deterrence]

Prologue concludes

Credits roll for Chapter One

COMING IN CHAPTER TWO

Chapter Two made up of Chapter One missions with modifiers

(Can I get my Zadornov search missions back tbh????)

Mission 43

The twist

After, hoping Chapter 3 is being hidden behind a grind rather than being cut out

 

[Tuck]

Strictly speaking in regards to gameplay only. This is the best game I have ever played.

The stealth mechanics are definitely the best they've ever been, and the individual bases are all really well designed.

I'm not that far yet but I think there are a few things holding it back, mainly concentrated around the open world, but they're nothing too major. It definitely delivers overall. Shame the latter sections seem to be unfinished.

I mean, as far as realism go, I can't really argue with them being some of the best they've been, but...most fun? eh... I've loved MGS for a long as time, and while the stealth mechanics haven't always been the most complicated, or even the most difficult...they've been FUN. I've loved fucking with guards once I mastered the game.

I feel like in this game, it's always gonna be a challenge, and be nerve racking.

Chapter 2 has its moments.

Hamburgers.

 

[Curufinwe]

Guess I need to get on the helicopter and transition past a loading screen to be sure it actually saves my side op progress.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Some of the optional tasks are straight up stupid, especially in a game with some very long fucking missions and no quick save.

if you leave the area, you can force the game to save... it seems based on location or movement, not time or combat... and since they're SIDE OPS... the progress isn't affected

you can sort of do that in missions too but i've found it saves enough as is

 

[KittenMaster]

So... I'm working on Side Op 17:

Spoiler

I just captured a base by getting caught and doing nothing to salvage the situation.

 

[Ghostmaster]

Hamburgers.

More Wolbaachia.

 

[Nose Master]

Question about the Medical Bay thing:

Spoiler

I assumed that you could return to show Paz new pictures to jog her memory, but the door hasn't let me in since that original cs. Is it just a one time thing?

EDIT: I'm dumb, there are multiple doors.

 

[Toa TAK]

More Wolbaachia.

Male to female.

Mid 20s Mission Story stuff:

Spoiler

Should I just stop extracting people until I have a cure for this disease?

If pretty obvious the disease is transmitted my the Kikongo language but even after quarantining everyone that speaks the language, they still assign people who speak it to the regular teams.

 

[duckroll]

Male to female.

Dinosaurs.

 

[SlaughterX]

I'm stuck on mission 7... can't destroy a single tank, even with the RPG. I shot like 7 at a single tank and it kept going like it was powered by energizers. What the hell?

 

[Randam]

time freezes, when you alt + tab out of the game!?

so you have to play, to get stuff done!?

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

Male to female.

When this started to be brought up, I kept thinking that

Spoiler

because of some mutation, that this is what happened to Quiet, but I guess that was stupid of me to think that, since we see her in the beginning of the game before she had been filled with parasites.

 

[LordAmused]

Lots of C4, supply drops, decoys and RPG. Blow it up!

Yes just rush to mission 29.

 

[sappyday]

Is there anything item that is worth selling in the resources section? Like precious metal? Or should I keep that in case it becomes necessary for items later on?

 

[Tuck]

Yeah those tanks were stupidly strong. Wait for them to stop at the final base and call in air strikes, one for each tank.

Use C4 on the road as it drives over it. Attack the rear with RPGs instead of the front or side. It does way more damage.

 

[Ghostmaster]

Some plants can be pretty worth it, I had like 700 black carrots, and they are worth 1000 a pop, you don't need more than 500 , probable don't even need more than 300.

 

[mentallyinept]

Yes just rush to mission 29.

Thanks.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

some of the last upgrades can require a lot of Precious Metals... the 2nd or 3rd Battle Gear upgrade is 2000 i think. the jehuty arm uses it too.

i usually sell plants or vehicles, mortars if i'm in a pinch for gmp

 

[SlaughterX]

There were problems with codes on them I believe.

Meh. I really need to stop buying CEs

 

[Gaz_RB]

I have to hand it to this game, it's the first open world game to enact an actual sense of urgency to some of the missions. Not just "you have to hurry and do this mission" while you go collect flowers for three hours.

But they also sort piss me off with the To Be Continued stuff so i guess it's even now.

Mid 20s mission's staff question:

Spoiler

How do I know which soldier is infected to quarantee them? Does it made a difference for you?, other than level decreasing.

 

[-Deimos]

It's pretty much the entire point of the mission.

Spoiler

A non lethal option would rob the impact the game (tries) to get across with what you need to do, which is why you don't get to choose your loadout for that mission.

I feel horrible, plus I lost lots of heroism


I don't think I had the option of choosing my weapons

In that case I don't think I have to worry then.

Spoiler

The kills probably don't count towards your records.

Do you really wanna know? It's fun to figure out yourself.

 

[gdt]

I completed mission 30 being sneaky and it felt quite rewarding. Maybe it's just me.

Just did this mission earlier. I played it super safe. Didn't raise an alert at all. I'll go back later and completely loot all their shit.

 

[Dick Justice]

So does the animal conservation platform house every single quantity of animal you've abducted, or is there a limit to how many can appear? As in, if I fulton about 20 bears, will they still all appear?

 

[Serpens007]

Do you really wanna know? It's fun to figure out yourself.

I imagine it is, but at least I want to know if the consequences of taking too much time are big or not lol

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Absent all the freaking way. God dammit.

Dinosaurs.

I feel I'm going to be surprised in the future then. Because I have no idea what this means.

Spoiler

Ask yourself: What is one of the principal themes in the game. What did Skullface lose when he was taken from his elders? What is the common thing in every patient showing symptoms?

If you want a more straightforward answer, I'll be happy to provide, but I think you might want that "a-ha" moment.

 

[grimmiq]

I imagine it is, but at least I want to know if the consequences of taking too much time are big or not lol

I lost 80ish/600 when I ignored it.

If you just want to know the solution.

Spoiler

Quarantine all who speak Kikingo

 

[Suzushiiro]

Is it possible to abort mission

Spoiler

and go back to the chopper, or are you stuck there until you beat it?

Because seriously, while I heard it would be better to do it before

, fuck this shit.

There's a limit.

 

[Randam]

any way to do something else on your PC while developing stuff, building strucks, or being on missions?

 

[Deleted member 80556]

There's a limit.

It's disappointing as well. I rescued lots of animals until the photo in the ACC showed like 7 donkeys in the conservation platform, and I was excited to see how many animals I could shove in there.

I go to the platform and I find that there are only two. What the heck. Motherbase has been disappointing all around, compared to what they promised.

It was probably one of the things reduced because of last gen. Originally, animals were supposed to hang out on platforms with your soldiers, it's in one of the old trailers. Maybe the AI wasn't up to snuff, or it was just too chaotic.

Is it normal for blood to look this pixelated?

Got blood all over face immediately after murdering Quiet on a replay.

 

[artsi]

I finally finished the game. It was a great experience, yet left quite a sour taste when the (real) credits rolled in. I think I need to let it set in for a bit.
