So, did Konami or Kojima say anything about upcoming dlc for this game?

Yeah thought so too at first. Damn. Just
do missions and visit her and do her side-op
join you after that.
Yes, but it's much easier to get more resources by having another base.
It's the missions that had some actual impact on the story/gameplay after finishing them, ex. ep11. Replay means you can replay them, but they won't actually affect the aforementioned stuff.
If you are always offline. Someone said he cancelled the FOB tutorial that forces you to build a FOB, but I do not know how. But once you build a FOB you're in with no way out.
I really need to get this off my chest... I played Ground Zeroes lately and the central themes behind the game have made me slightly depressed. I really hate the idea of black sites like the American prison facility in Ground Zeroes existing in real life.
On another related note: one thing I find fascinating about the game is it's a big AAA game and the main protagonist is not an American + the enemy can sort of be considered American. As an aside: I don't know where Big Boss was born to be truthful - Ground Zeroes is the only MGS gave I've played so he could've been born in the USA but Big Boss and Kaz and his team of loyal soldiers aren't beholden to any one country. They're an army without any particular country, and they have their own ideals and motivations that don't necessarily line up with any one super power. The whole Ground Zeroes game is all about Big Boss and Kaz's private army trying to pull their operative Chico and a double agent Paz out of an American black site.
I may be rambling but the point that I find so fascinating is that the black site is American, period. America is the villain in Ground Zeroes - they are operating a top secret black site used to torture, interrogate, and execute POWs... I just find it really fascinating the idea of America as a villain, because you never see that in any video games. Of course, I am undoubtedly missing some nuances - most likely this organization called Cipher is the true villain and architect behind the black site - I haven't played enough of MGS overall to know for sure.
But all I need to comfortably/confidently consider that USA should be considered responsible for the black site (within the confines of this fictional story, of course) is that Kaz said something along the lines of "Washington has given tacit approval over this black site, as a way to rendition and interrogate POWs without prying eyes".

You should play MGS3

Been playing this. I have about 64 hours clocked in. I just got Huey back.
D-Dog is the best buddy, IMO. Quiet isn't available to me, but I do have D-Walker. Won't use until I buy the development stuff for it.
So far, this is my favorite Metal Gear. I didn't play Peace Walker, but I watched that 3-hour video on YouTube. It was useful in catching up on the story.
I really enjoy the structure and thought that went into everything. This game has that Kojima touch everywhere. You can tell this is his dream game. The entire team really went all out. The attention to detail is really something else. This is something that you really only get from high-profile Japanese developers.

Let him be. What did he do to you? Stop the workplace discrimination against disabled people.
You can play as a woman. Some also have special abilities that surpass Snake's like better Fulton chance, faster running, faster climbing, etc.
Fuck I love this game. 50 hours in, just a few missions/side ops into Chapter 2.
I loved the whole conclusion of Chapter 1, personally. Yeah it was cheesy at points but it was very Metal Gear. There seem to be way more cutscenes in Chapter 2 - something new every time I return to Mother Base after a mission.
So much good shit being unlocked too. Wormhole Fulton, Jehuty Arm, Quiet's XOF uniform, Bandana... this is where it's going to get really fun

Thanks! Trophy counts even for side ops?

I plan on playing Phantom Pain first, for sure, since it's the latest and greatest AAA game on the market and I just finished Ground Zeroes. But I have MGS2+3+PeaceWalker on 360, so MGS3 is available for me to play eventually.
He could not talk all day for all I care if his stats were better. This isn't about mutes but about firing a guy who's incompetent at his job. What's with all these overly politically correct private forces these days?
It honestly doesn't matter because most if not all my enjoyment is coming from the gameplay anyway - I'm just having a lot of fun playing this game. All the systems just click with me.Uh. You're so enthusiastic, I don't even know how to tell you.

Yup.
I always played with two favourite S++ soldiers that had the Gunman ability for extended Reflex Mode for easy sideops
(then i accidentally defended my FOB with one of my best, got killed and lost her forever, fucking permadeath FOB missions)
Don't be a dick. You fail at humor too.
You can actually play as your MB soldiers?! How?Yup.

This game is really sparse about explaining some of its features... or maybe this will get unlocked later on (currently on episode 13).

anyone encounter any random mission or side op enemies that have unique code names (not just names) if recruited?
e.g. so, not a mission objective like Malak but.... like, Mission 3, the
, and he has a unique portrait I think because the mission intel/etc uses his face. same for Mission 7 or the
in Mission 5...
but are their names random? e.g. is anyone else's Mission 5 guy named Spying Harrier? or Mission 3 guy named Silent Mastodon?
this thread on gamefaqs actually sort of confirms it lol (literally just found it after typing that previous sentece)
e.g. the guy from the first Wandering Mother Bass Soldier SIDE OP is always named Komodo Dragon and has Climber... and Jackal always has Athlete
so maybe everyone's mission 3 and 5 guys are also all named Silent Mastodon (Gunman) and Spying Harrier?
kind of cool, actually, there are are sort of special minor characters in the story and not everything is random.

After you build the first Combat Ops platform i think, then just go to Character on the mission deployment screen to select any of your soldiers or Snake.
Soldiers have some unique clothing too like balaclavas and helmets that Snake can't use.
It is. People who went on media blackouts are getting shafted since a lot of these systems were explained in gameplay demos but not in-game.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Quiet is mildly overpowered to outright overpowered depending on her loadout.

^it helps to press Help a lot on almost every new window or menu
a lot of things have multiple pages that explain things that may not otherwise be obvious, like page 2 of the map help describing the Preparedness system
Same here. Lot of fun. Try FOBs. Some people hate the idea, but it'really fun and rewarding.
Not that I know of, no. He seems to be a constant for some reason.
The only bad buddy is the one that shits all over the place.
That's the spirit. Though when you do "finish" and want a bit more closure seek YouTube.

anyone remember which mission or side op Jackal is from? he's the A+ guy with Athlete (runs extra fast)
also... where did the lone Chinese recruit come from... Zhang Tian... Ground Zeroes, I'm guessing?

Whats the best loadout? Im just starting with her but I have a hard time using her ''the right way''
Silenced tranq rifle and use her enough to get the "Cover me" command. You'll never need to fire a weapon again.

So are there interior areas to mother base? It feels like its just these irritating to navigate exteriors.
Also should I be hunting down staff to increase morale? Seems like an ENORMOUS amount of effort to go to.
Also should I be hunting down staff to increase morale? Seems like an ENORMOUS amount of effort to go to.
No, the staff got a acale of like 100 morale and you get 1 point for the soldier that salutes you. Don't bother. Usually staff point will be stagnant anyways unless your going into negative GMP or keep hurting them.
Also yes: medical bay as soon as you see a door with blue lights and R&D, you know when.
Blimey, this thread moves fast!!!, any chance of a response to the above?
How do I keep my staff from fighting each other? Or is it normal as the staff grows in size?
Also dying in mother base is fucking dumb. It's irritating to die from a high fall or accidentally driving off the bridge and losing a bunch of diamonds and those target-shooting side ops. Should've been an area where dying didn't count.

Fire troublemakers.
Should I really? I don't want to fire anyone. I wouldn't want to be fired.

I'd like to point out that the latest Steam patch made it so that the game no longer stays on top of every other window while in borderless window mode. It was annoying as shit before.

Is there a definite method to unlocking mission 46? Because I swear I've just checked ten different sites / youtube videos and THEY ALL SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I can only take this to mean no one knows the exact conditions.

Quiet is pretty useless compared to Dog if you prefer to do non-lethal, ghost runs since Dog can immediately sense everyone in the area, but quiet just points out people in her field of vision.
if someone comes along who can do a better job than you for the same amount of pay, i'd fire you. same as with Mother Base.
The fire those who started the fights. Or make a list and count how many times they doing shit. Three strikes and out.
