A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.

just about everything that doesn't have to do with gameplay in this game is something of a disappointment. i mean, what's with introducing new characters a few episodes before the game ends?...
can't be mentioned enough: great game, but not a great metal gear game...
& so much this!

savefiles and dlc can differ from region to region. you probably have to start over or get a copy from your region to continue your file.

It's not saying you have a new one, it's listing how many you CAN do. My OCD side hates this feature. If you don't have any open check boxes, play a story mission and you'll unlock more Side Ops.

If I replay a mission just to get a specialist, can I just get him and leave or do I have to complete the whole mission?

Finally beat mission 31. I still hate it.
You can just get him, same with blueprints etc., just make sure you activate a checkpoint after doing it and before aborting the mission.

Thank you, that worked like a charm. Now I can do my playthrough sans 4 in preparation.
I feel your pain exactly. That bright little dot is eating away at me. lol
I'll definitely just continue with the story whenever I got check marks in every box though.

I read that if you play a certain cassette tape during the wandering soldier side ops, that they will come to you and submit without attacking. But I am playing the tape and nothing happens.
Is this verified true or not real?

Do you have the speakers on? Press R2/RT when on the cassette tab and select the far right option.
They actually get taken out back by Ocelot and shot.

Replaying Mission 12 to get S Rank and finish the Tasks.
The Metal Gear hide and seek is cheap as hell. Even hiding from it and losing it, the thing is psychic to your location I swear. Which sucks considering it's the last 9/10th of a long mission. And the then chopper decides this is the time to come in for a slow and gradual landing. Really, the difficulty padding on some of these missions is just surreal.

I did. It does not work very well. He still attacks me. You have to get within a good 90 metres for him to hear it and yes he did come running but still attacked me. Those missions are super easy as is so no use using it anyways.
AFAIK, the game doesn't track your total time playing a mission for the time bonus. You could spend 5 hours doing a mission, restart from a checkpoint that was 10 minutes in and finish the mission within 5 minutes and the total time would be 15 minutes. You'll lose the 10k no retry bonus but more often than not, losing that 10k shouldn't be difference between an A or S rank.
Been back on this last few days. Love every minute honestly. Great game that takes things back to the beginning,pure gameplay.
Don't mind the exclusion of 30 minute cutscenes. Glad kojima went out on gameplay to the max.
Story isn't bad as the crying babies make it sound. Mgs 3 still my favorite though for sure.

I definitely plan on using the restart checkpoint option next time around because
I need Huey to remain untouched and the game pits you right against the metal gear right after the cut scene. I figure my best chance is to run between the legs and hide behind the rocks before putting him on Dhorse before praying I can lose the trail of the psychic giant robot.

I've been trying to S-rank with all the objectives and no items the three commanders mission (Red Brass) and oh boy, is it tough.
I finally did figure out that if you hold up the driver of a jeep, all the people in the jeep will get out and be held up. Then if you knock them out, fulton them and hide the jeep (or fulton it), the commander will get up, realize everything is missing and walk the rest of the way to the meeting point without raising an alert.
Now I just need to figure out a way to listen in on the conversation they have and knock all of them out without alerting the rest of the base.

I was able to hide even in the walker, I think even the

I only had to restart once with the kids. I was gonna get them out the first time but the helicopter spotted me at the last minute and killed the one I was carrying. The 2nd time I hit with my undersling grenade launcher.

How do you unlock Mission 43?
?
Also for that, is there a trick to getting the materials processed besides upgrading the Base Development on the main and FOB? I can just idle and have it process the 200k fuel I have, right?
I've finished the main missions (those not listed as Extreme, Subsistence, or the other prefixes) through 41, as well as the Escaped Children side ops, Man on Fire, and AI Pod, leaving only misc eliminations and mine clearing ones (with the exception of Wandering Puppets 02, but I'm pretty sure I don't need to do those). I know I need to max everything on Mother Base for mission 45, but do I have to do that before this one first

I never got found after I hoofed it behind a rock the first time. You aren't making me wanna go back for s rank, tho.

Had the game glitch on me earlier.
Loaded up a side mission in Afghan and there were a few rain drops in the chopper which was weird and listening closely you can hear it rain outside the heli and low and behold it was fucking raining in Afghanistan, it was so cool.
But it reminded me of something, in GZ the guards would wear those awesome rain ponchos when it rained, why the hell did they remove them!

Doing side ops (about 3/4ths into the game)
right now a sandstorm just came and Quiet keeps sniping people just fine while the guards can't see anything. This is what happens when a character is as powerful as the story claims they are.
About 43,
I think it's tied to the tapes marked as important, just play them and do a side op. Also you don't need to max your base for 45
Yup there's nothing you can do beyond upgrading Base development level (not the number of platforms) so they process faster and having a stock of unprocessed materials. On every tick, I think it processes 10% of the unprocessed stock to a maximum of 2500 per tick.

I believe it has to do with heroism. When I got over 100000 I started to see S ranks. But even now at 350000 they're still somewhat uncommon.

Have max bond with
Quiet, don't have the butterfly emblem equipped, listen to all tapes (you don't have to listen if you don't want, just until the little dot is removed) and that should be enough to trigger side ops 150, then it'l force you into main mission 45, starting 150 is a point of no return though so make sure you know what you're getting yourself into.
If that doesn't trigger it yet, then do a couple side ops.

So what's the point of the butterfly emblem in order to keep Quiet as a buddy if you can just avoid doing side op 150?
You still lose her, the point of side op 150 is that you're looking for her. The Butterfly emblem prevents the event where she leaves from happening.

You will get it once you unlock the master key for it, not sure what the exact number is but I've read that the requirements are a certain amount of fulton extractions. Could be 300, could be 500, not sure.

I tried that and it stopped unlocking yellow missions though. Wonder what I have to do next to get the next yellow mission to unlock

Finished 31. Had a bit of trouble at first until I bailed and did some side ops to pay for upgrades of a couple particular weapons, came back for a third try and beat it without a hitch.
I guess there's a bit of meaty stuff to come but I'm still impossibly disappointed by the narrative in this game. I would have been fine with a simple, brief story, but (so far) I would hesitate to call this a story at all, it's just a handful of events occurring one after another, and uninteresting events at that.

Do other stuff marked yellow, like side ops and playing tapes. If it still doesn't unlock try doing random side ops.
