Okay, about to delete my save I guess (to start a second playthrough). Really don't feel like playing just the side ops, too used to enjoying MGS with the story.
Also feels lonely without
-_-
Being unable to enjoy another full story playthrough on the same save file is probably my only major complaint with the game. They should have at least allowed multiple saves.
From a gameplay standpoint it's amazing since it allows you to approach mission areas in so many ways and from all directions.

I just stuck to Desert Fox and Woodlands for most of the game, the sneaking suit is good but the normal outfits+scarf look a lot better.

Spoiler for up to mission 14 or 15, and I saw an 'extra' cut scene in the medical bay area.
Is that it for the reveals with Paz, like should I keep going back? Or not point?

I tried tranquilizing one with the handgun, didn't go as planned.Just started the game today. Shat my pants when I ran into the Skulls during the Kaz rescue mission.
Spoiler vvv
I hope they patch Quiet back into the game. Seems beyond ridiculous to have her removed, for playing purposes she should have been left as a buddy. Glad I had backed up the data, otherwise I would have to start a new file to unlock her equipment. Also, multiple save files.
I hope konami, and kojima are able to fix their shit. I need to play the events leading up to Metal Gear Solid.
Do you guys want dlc for the game? I don't need it to be part of the story. I would be okay with over the top special missions(think VR missions), boss fights from past entries, skins, and some unique characters with special skills. Heck they can reuse assets from Camp omega, and mother base for MGS1/2 stages.
By the way, didn't kojima work on the original vision of metal gear rising using the fox engine? Would be sweet to get a HF blade as dlc, I don't even need it to slice people/items in half. Just some cool animations and bullet deflection. I'm still salty over the pixelated Gray Fox.
I like how it looks, just doesn't feel like something I'd wear for sneaking around the desert. Also, are the empty slots meant for future suits? Seems crazy to have so many empty slots.
i love all of them and the background music of the fights are so awesome.
Yuppers! Them mechs look straight out of the ZOE universe, half expected to unlock some sort of mecha vehicle, but nothing. Open world MGS, terrific engine, with so many possibilities for crazy weapons/item/vehicle unlockables. It's sad to see how it all went down between kojima, and konami.

Im having a total love-hate relationship with this game. I love running around doing the side quest, fultoning supplies and new soldiers but so far I pretty much hate the story missions, just did Mission 15 with those goddamn stupid
Between that and the "Go and destroy 3 tanks but we wont tell you where they are, and when you destroy one, the others make a bee line for the map exit and you dont have any good way of chasing them except with an effin horse". They just dont feel designed well at all.
Skull soldiers, or should I say the rock conduits from Infamous. They arent fun to fight....like at all and there is no point in running or driving away since they can just teleport on to your face and stab you. Also its pretty annoying how they seem to gravitate towards your position even if they havent spotted you yet, they just feel cheap as hell.

In the beginning, I went back and forth with the uniforms and sneaking suit. But now I almost exclusively use the sneaking suit with the bandana.
is that the mission where you look for a truck? Trying to not spoil anything.
If it is, and you completed it.
I tranq'd them with sleeping grenades. Got to the truck before it left the airport, and approached the truck while in crawl stance. You can use the active decoys to lure them into a corner, then unleashed some z-nades, went down pretty fast.

Just did the mission 44 i think it was, the
Extreme Metallic Archeas mission. It took me like an hour, my weapons are too underdeveloped lol Also, I could just fulton one Skull, how do you fulton all 4 of them ?

fulton 2-3 while the other one is still alive. You usually have time to Fulton 2 when they're all dead. Develop the Brennan sniper. Best weapon to use on them

You enjoy all the killing, that's why.
Prefer to do stealth but the broken cover system prevents me from doing that and once an alarm goes off, I just say screw it and use my guns. Should still be able to clean off the blood though. I can see shooting affecting score/rating/etc. but it shouldn't affect my uniform and skin since I can obviously change clothes and shower in the game. Oh well, whatever.

They disappear after a while from when you kill the last Skull so make sure to fulton one as soon as you kill it, you won't have much time to fulton everyone after the last one dies.
Also an easy way to tackle them is to develop the Sinful butterfly for Quiet, get battle suit and keep running around the buildings to avoid the giant projectiles. She can take down Skulls with just 2-3 shots with that gun.

kojima's vision for big boss' vision of building up Mother Base, I guess.

You can't really customise her appearance the same way that you do for the other buddies. But you can
buy two outfits for her that you can then select at the mission load out screen. They're in the Development menu under Buddies I think.
What broken cover system? Perfect stealth is absolutely doable in MGSV. All the subsistence missions I did without being spotted, so it's not like you have to rely on gadgets. Obviously there are total stealth missions too...
I dunno, never had trouble ghosting through missions when I wanted to.
So that's it?
What about the Diamond Dogs and Sniper Wolf outfits? And that one cut scene?

Really? That's the first I've heard about the cover system being so broken it prevents stealth runs.
Just play the sideops you have and you'll unlock the rest. Also after completing
46

I already did. Literally all the sideops are completed that are available to me.

you have to buy more Mother Base coins.
Can he develop indestructable silencers for other weapons, or is it just the WU? Having to call in a suppressor supply drop every few minutes gets pretty tiresome.
Sniper wolf outfit is for finishing the Extreme version of her fight. The XOF outfit can be developed somewhere in the middle of the game I think.
The indestructable silencer for Wu is built in so you can't put it in other weapons. Haven't seen other weapons with indestructable silencers atleast yet. You get infinity bandana at somepoint though which affects silencers also. So unless you are going for S-Ranks you can use that.
Agreed. The music overall is pretty good imo
Time to work towards the infinity bandana.

So I just started this the other day.
Am I right in that if I want to do a mission and I'm at Mother Base, I have to call the chopper, wait for it to arrive, climb on, wait for it to fly off, wait for loading, and then finally choose my mission?
That's just terrible design compared to Peace Walkers menus :|

I like him too, but it does seem bizarre how rarely he talks. It's like you're playing as Link sometimes - you can go through hours of gameplay and never hear his voice. Seems weird compared to Big Boss in MGS3 who'd never shut up.
That and the inability to use helicopter travel around the Afghanistan and Africa maps are parts of the game that could have really used some streamlining. Especially given the game's structure, those decisions become massive inconveniences when spread out across hundreds of hours.
A couple of lines here and there come off as distractingly phoned in, but I was pleasantly surprised with Sutherland as well. A shame he's barely used throughout the game...
i'm listening to the tapes so i hear him quite a lot. i kind of prefer this version of the character too (versus mgs3's talkative one)

This is especially weird given they've already implemented this on Motherbase, where you can move from strut to strut. I can understand why they might limit that ability during missions (it could break gameplay, maybe - I can't think how off the top of my head, but it could) but between missions or during side ops? I don't see why you can't.

Think I'm close to done with the game. Only got 2 main missions (last two) left and side op 150. Researched everything, S ranked most things (but let's be honest, S ranking things is as hard as watching a youtube video and then abusing whatever mechanic is most applicable) and had a ton of fun FoBing it up. FoBing unfortunately is a very shallow game mode so there's no real long term appeal there, but it was fun while it lasted.
10/10 would highly recommend. Solid GOTY contender and the best open world stealth game.
Now to give Witcher 3 a serious go. It also has cardboard boxes, right?
