Weather is dynamic and random in tpp, while it was scripted into the missions in GZ. The guards in GZ didn't put on ponchos when it rains, they have them on already.

Are you playing offline? I think if you're not connected to the sever when you complete mission 22, you skip the FOB tutorial, but will be forced into it later once you do go online.
Which is why I've been playing completely offline before and since...

Apparently if you do the side op - "Capture the Legendary Jackal" you get the ability to develop it. Just tested it out myself.

So I'm up to Mission 39 or 40 so far, though I think some of these events or conversations could be unlocked maybe sooner or later, so maybe they're Mission <45 or even <50 spoilers
again ^spoilers up to Mission 41 or so but because of tapes/side ops maybe spoilers up to 45ish? just general impressions and a few guesses on my progress from 31 to 41
so.... ummm... the 'game' sort of ended at Mission 31 
I feel like so far at least in terms of actual story gameplay or some sort of actual game narrative, Mission 31 really was the ending. And what all I'm doing now is completing 'hard mode' content to unlock bonus tapes, scenes, or unlock some sort of extra ending... sort of like a Peace Walker thing or something.
I was really hoping for a new 3rd area or at least 1 genuine big indoor location... a few times I thought this was teased, like the huge oil plant or the OKB, but there are basically no big indoor rooms or anything. Was really hoping for at least one factory or plant or something that took at least an hour to work through.
and even the 'new' missions really aren't new... just recycled SIDE OPS for hard mode missions
which is actually a good thing to have after the ending! i love all the extra content.... i just mean, after Mission 31 I was still expected 29 unique story missions haha
on the plus side, I've got S rank on almost half of them the very first time I complete them lol though I feel like, finishing a lot of these missions must have a very high chance of getting an A or at least a B at the least since if you do manage to complete them, you kinda have to play very well. I got S rank for Sahalenthropus, and then since then on the destroy the phantom whispers mecha walkers, traitor's caravan one, the quiet sniping one (this one was the hardest until I figured out that using a missile launcher totally screws up her senses... I tried to stealth her or legitimately hide and snipe her, but even after 1 hour, she still 100% instakilled me the second she had LOS. couldn't make her not know where I was with sniping. but if you should a rocket, especially that slow- 4-at-once rocket, it tricks her thinking where you are
and if you fire once at her, and she jumps very high to dodge it across the map, and you fire at that location where she's going to land, sometimes she jumps toward you across the map (she thinks you're on the other side of the map by the explosion) and she'll be sitting right beside you haha! so i put 2 double barrel shotgun blasts close range in her face did that twice and she was toast -- S rank hehe
so I just finish up to 39 or 40 now, and also all the kids, and I have a couple tapes to listen to that I've been saving a moment but maybe I'll finish most or all up to 50 tonight -- even though I'm kinda disappointed there's basically been no actual new gameplay since 31, still enjoying all these challenging missions a lot and still pretty interested in the story.... the child soldiers are getting annoying though, but Eli did just "ask to see his father" haha I posted a week when I very first met Eli, the way he lounged back in his chair and put his hands behind his head, I felt like he looked like Liquid wonder if that's the surprise coming

Just got the rain scene. This is the bad kind of Metal Gear stupid.
Look up the shower scene or get dirty enough that you start to have flies around your head and go back to Mother Base.

Oh I've seen that. Quiet would've been a better character if she didn't feel like she was the creation of some 13 year old kid.

Just focus on getting Base Development upgraded as fast as possible. Also something to know about the processing. I was leaving my game running 24/7 but wasn't paying too close attention to the materials for a while, found one issue with that. It only process materials during a save state, so entering your iDroid causes it do this, and if you just leave the game idle, it will process materials, but only one tick worth. So if you leave it running for 6 hours but never actually do anything, never go into your iDroid etc, it will only process 2500 fuel assuming you have 200k unprocessed stuff (it processes 10% of total unprocessed up to a max of 2500 per tick)
I actually found it far faster to simply play the game, doing side ops, farming other materials, or soldiers etc. so it processes the tick very close to when it should. I still leave my game running almost 24/7 but its mostly for upgrades as some of the later upgrades, especially base upgrades take forever.
320 hours in the game now hehe.
It's mostly a pointless number, don't worry about it.
Yes.
Now to burn 3 hours worth of energy to obtain my platinum since I have everything done, but I need to still have that one item develop only so I can dismantle it. Konami certainly isn't an eco-friendly company.

This trick seemed to work. Eventually,
it just lost sight of me and gave me enough time to call in the chopper.
Yeah, I eventually said screw it to
the walkers and just snuck out of the base with Huey on my back because it seemed quicker.
It was painful. The best advice that seemed to work was just keep running south east. Finally S ranked it with
Huey taking no damage
Only 3 more S ranks and mission tasks before I move onto Mission 32 and all the redundant missions.
Still need to exceed 300 developments,
develop a nuke, and dismantle said nuke.
Platinum is within striking distance.
Edit: Need to get all branches over level 50 for the Army trophy, but my heroism is like 300k so I see S Rank people all over. It's a matter of time.
Yea,
it's not a point of no return like the stuff surrounding mission 45
I really recommend getting that
nuke started asap since it takes 24 in game hours to make.
That's probably it then. Haven't been online since I synced up my GZ save. I'll worry about it later.
GET OUT. Seriously? Not real time?

35k Processed Fuels between me and starting that up. The development should happen when I take on missions 32 on.
Yea I learned that the hard way.
Konami think of the environment pls PLS.
I just spent 45 minutes doing the Mother Base shooting practices. The R&D one took forever. After I was done, I slipped off a platform and died.
ALL of that progress was lost, despite the game saving after EVERY other side op. Fuck this game and it's save system. Just... fuck it. What a shitty waste of time. Terrible target practice too, don't know what they were thinking.

mission 20-30 spoilers
While I was trying to get the cure for the disease that was going through my motherbase I was receiving tons of messages about my dudes dying from the disease( ie. 8-16+ maybe). I have no idea how many died, but I wonder if I really should have gone back and wandered around all of mother base and tried to identify people who were sick to send to quaranteen.
Did anyone do this? Did it cut down on deaths?
I basically ignored the issue and steamrolled through the missions to solve the problem.

I hated that one and yeah something similar happened to me. I never even got it until I had a tablet opened with a youtube video playing as I was mimicking it. There is a lot of weird difficulty spikes in this game. The other shooting practices were brain numbingly easy compared to that one.

Yeah your base development division has to convert it to processed fuel and the time it takes them is dependent on their level.
Dear God, the AI for
is probably the worse seen in a video game escort mission in a while, and that's saying A LOT. They constantly run ahead of you without permission/direction, even when there's clearly danger up ahead, but when you actually want them to move away from a dangerous situation, they just stand there and cower, as they're a 7 year old from a Minnesota suburb whose never so much as been yelled at before.
Mission's like these are why I fucking loathe escort missions.
the child soldiers in Mission 18

through to mission 40, I think Mission 21 is still one of my top favorites:

it's actually a pretty darn fun fast-action mission if you're using D-Walker haha the big airport is a ton of fun to speed, skate, and gun-strafe through
i always have way too much bio mats and plants. i usually sell any excess I have above 50K and 500 respectively. if any super quick SIDE OPs spawn like heavy infantry, armored or tank units, I'll do those full rambo quickly too, takes just a few minutes and you get the GMP reward

I noticed they would start running up even though I said "wait" not even 10 seconds ago. But thankfully they didn't run into any soldiers or anything so it didn't turn out to be as bad as it could. Actually, this is the last mission that I completed today and I ended up getting an S rank on the first try. I honestly thought I messed up bad. I was meticulously stealthy at the beginning, fultoned every single enemy possible and captured the outpost, I was so pissed that there were new enemies in the area once I started escorting the kids, got caught and basically started killing most of the soldiers that I came across. Was so relieved when I got to the helicopter.

Inches away from 100% at 118 hours. I just need Konami to make that sweet, sweet missing shock grenade blueprint appear and I'm golden.
Probably won't play this again for at least a year. I'm also seriously disappointed with the animal conservation platform. 47 animals collected and there's like 12 on display.

I cant believe it's 2015 and I'm still getting infuriated by escort missions in triple A games.
I just played that mission today and I just couldnt believe that Kojima would do this to me.
I on the other hand, thanks to doing the combat deployments have too much GMP, I wish there wasn't a 5 million cap. Feel like that's way too low, especially looking at the prices of some of the things you can buy.

it's possible to get the

this doesn't specifically show it, sorry it got cut off by the 15m limit on PS Share, but it does show the spot... on the left there by the hut, where the guards are running... so, when you first enter this area before any alert, there's a guard by that hut... let him SEE 'something'
(the kids)
this causes the
kids
kids
so, you can go and clear the entire area because unlike when you are in 'Wait' and they auto Go, because the game still thinks they are in Go, they don't auto Go.... you can sort of confirm this because if you bring up L1, the option actually says "Wait" not "Go" because the game thinks they're actually already in "Go"
basically, they stay there the entire time.... you can go clear the entire area
and even if you take too long and
"reinforcements come"

Yes. You can prevent a lot of casualties by handling it.
I just make sure to either turn the network connectivity off on the ps4 before starting MGSV up or suspend/resume the game so I don't have to deal with all that.

I got screwed over on that mission as well. Perfect Stealth run until I was

hey, anybody know of any gameplays of someone playing this at a high level(stealthily preferably)? I feel like watching some really good gameplays but don't know who to turn to.
Depends on if you want to make it to the true ending or not.
