Don't worry about it. 100% requires doing Combat Deployment and a few other things (which get you achievements anyway) so if you finish the story while low percentage it doesn't mean anything.
I'm talking more about the reflex mode, everyone seems to disable it and I had it all the time
I'm building that 100% now

I'm at like 46% and I just finished Mission 28. I've been doing almost every single Side-Op on the way through (as in, if a new one pops up, I'll do them till I run out of new ones and then I move to the main missions). I also have 65 hours right now.
Also, for Mission 28,
Also, for Mission 28,
if I bring Quiet against the Skulls, is there a different cut scene or anything like that?
Take it from me: Don't do this. Wait until you're in the back half THEN do that while finishing the story. Save yourself a bit of a headache.

I try to get like 2 or 3 side ops done in one go, minimum.
The music selection in this game is really on point.
I picked up True by Spandeau Ballet while on mission 18. I was just sneaking around and I heard it faintly, and found the radio with the tape.
Debating on changing Take On Me with Maneater or True for my heli music. Take On Me seems perfect though.

Really this is why I prefer procurement on site games where you know what equipment is available to a player at any one time. I do not have many of the weapons people are suggesting as a solution to this mission as I was getting by fine not using them until now. Mother base stuff was a distraction I'd tried to use as minimally as possible.
And since this mission doesn't let me quit back to base I'm stuck with what I developed.

I've done a couple of Side Ops with it after forgetting to turn it off post FOB. It makes the game way to easy. I say that being a huge fan of slow mo in games (Max Payne!).
I think at no point in this game did I complete any sort of Op and not do something related to Mother Base, whether visiting or having something developed. And the base expansions were always happening. Now that I finished the game I just have to focus on FOB and other development projects I'd like to do.
I love just letting the music selections play while I do Shooting Galleries or running about on Mother Base or when I'm out on free roam. For my heli music though, I haven't taken it off Heaven's Divide.
I didn't get enough time with Quiet in her Sniper Wolf outfit, I'll never forget her

HELP: The game won't load for me on PS4! While playing Mission 12 after I was spotted by the heli I decided to start at my last check point, then the game wouldn't load back to that. After several full "close app" restarts it still won't load. I even tried being offline hoping that would work. I'm currently stuck on the loading screen after the opening menu. Help!!! BTW I'm using the 3.0 beta.
update: game still never loaded. I ended up using a recent PS Plus saved data file from Sunday morning. That worked, but lost progress of course. Anyone else come across this type of bug?

Are you out of Golden Crescent? Sleep grenades and mines require that.
Wait with the SideOps? Okay. So far I did most of them between the Storymissions (Story 22, SO ~45).

I was very disappointed with the music. Heard very little original stuff that was good. They even changed the song, from ground zeroes, that plays when the helicopter picks you up. That song was awesome.
I'm super annoyed at the fact that the mgs theme has been absent since mgs4 (it was dropped when it was discovered that it was plagiarized). Only to play tpp and realize they licensed a shit ton of music for this game!
Such a big expensive game with tons of licensed music, and kojima just couldn't bring himself to license the mgs theme so they could bring it back for the sendoff???
Almost seems intentional. And it's really disappointing.
Hell you only hear the peacewalker theme on the loadout screen or on a tape =(
That mgs theme used to be so prominent, and the last game didn't include it at all.

So last night i finished chapter 1 and i mostly loved it.im now onto chapter 2 and its looking like the mission formula has gone a bit strange. I read that only some of tme missions are needed in this chapter and i can unlock them with side ops?
I have only done 17 so far soy question is this.
If i only do the main missions needed and unlock them via side ops, how long in hours roughly is left?
I have enjoyed this game a lot but im ready to move on soon.

The original stuff is great. Very John Carpenter in places. I particularly love Nitrogen (?), that's super tense.
Also, I don't think that getting the MGS theme back in is as simple as "licensing" it since (as you pointed out) it was plagiarised in the first place. I don't a think a license would help with copyright/intellectual property infringement. They could license the original piece, I guess, but (ironically) that's hardly the same.
Isn't there a legal issue behind that? I don't think Konami wants to risk it, or something along those lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k7DrIWcrdI

The alert theme from MGS was in Ground Zeroes though. I think that Kojima just dropped the fanservice here, like it or not.

Something very weird going on with the side ops in Ch. 2
After I cleared all of the Mine Clearing ones, I got a trophy and an extra 5000 heroism for it, but I seem to be getting +5000 Heroism every time I clear a Side Op after that now.

There's no infringement issue with that tune. The one the poster is talking about is the MGS Theme, the one from MGS2/3 that copied a melody near note for note from a decades old Russian Orchestral piece.

There must be a way around it. They must have had to license the original for the HD collections. They came out long after mgs4.
If think they'd have to license the song that it was plagiarized from. Then they could remix it however they liked.
Yes but that's a hurdle they've already crossed with the hd collections. Or they'd have had to remove the music.
And to the other guy (sorry I'm in my edit on mobile(edit nvm I already quoted you sorry) I didn't say there was no good original music. Just not as much as usual.
Original music is one area I thought the game was lacking the most.

That tune was already in the first trailer of MGS and also in the credits of the final theme in the game, always mixed with the alert theme. The alert itself doesn't have it, so Kojima could have used it because it's just as iconic, but he didn't. I think that they could have used the "plagiarized" tune too if they wanted, given how 90% of the plagiarism in music is proven wrong, they just didn't care.
Leithkorias

No argument that if they'd wanted to they could have used it.
But as far as wether or not it's plagiarized, ya, nearly note for note.
Granted Harry gregson Williams improved on it in every way.
Not all of them.
Not necessary. I just kept doing Side Ops and focusing on building out Mother Base, and every once in a while, a new yellow story would pop.

I'm not sure that's how it works though.
I didn't know that...I finished the main storyline so I just assumed I had plenty of inventory of everything (except Fuel Resources)...everything else got resupplied with the Supply Drops that I didn't even check the requirements
Yeah, same here. Probably mostly because we end up infiltrating every outpost several times and soldiers on a chokehold are super eager to point out how there's some blueprints nearby.
I did it like:
Wore Battledress, spammed GROM on everything, constans supply requests. Quiet took out the humans running around. Oneshotted the Gunship. Actually it took super long but I just stayed where you spawn after the cutscene, using the house ruin as cover. I didn't een have to retry the mission. Not sure why it was so easy for me, just go out of cover...shoot..cover....shoot...cover and so on.
Walk in looking for a dude that can translate Russian, walk out with a blueprint for an experimental multi warhead launcher. And they just left the briefcase lying on the table too.

I still need to look for them all. I gave up when I thought one of my blueprints I needed to get was bugged but I ended up getting it later anyway.
Also, started getting a graphical bug along with the heroism thing, where shooting out Direct TV dishes and anti-air radars would just make them disappear instead of play the explosion animation.
Hide round the back and pop out, let Quiet take out the men, you concentrate on the tanks. At the start I just fultonned everything.

i only missed one by playing normally. i'm glad this stuff is not brutally hidden.

Ok but it works somehow since they were able to rerelease those games and they didn't have to remove the music. I don't care how it works. It works somehow. They still sell soundtracks with the plagiarized songs.

Which one was that. Those all blend together in my memory
is it fighting the skulls?
If so read below
i used shot gun and most damaging rocket launcher i had.
The skulls life bars have 2 layers. First their armour and second their health. Strip the armour then as much health as you can before they recharge the armour.
You can avoid their fire and rock things by just running around creates and there melee by just running amd diving if needed.
Try target one or two at a time. When you run out of rockets, run through a building to lose them, call a supply drop and continue.
Also take quiet with a normal sniper and let her do her thing. Its pain at first but once you get the right load out and a flow for what needs to be done its not very hard

Roof with rocket launcher or sniper. Or D-Walker with Gatling.

So how do I trigger the Huey
cutscene where he has to leave?
I equiped myself and quiet with the Brennan sniper rifle.
what do you mean?
if I don't play the game for 24 hours it will be finished?
because for weapons you have to do missions for the ammount of time.
not even sitting in the acc does work.

Fob expansions work with real time, the rest is in-game time (with real life hours).
So yes, if you don't play for 24 hours, the moment you launch the game the Fob base will be complete.
