After the patch, I've found about 20+ s rank boaster soldier. Doubt this is just coincidence.

Maybe they're planning on a system where you can upgrade your binoculars for $1.49 to filter out Boasters' true stats for 24 hours?

Yes, there is a HUGE increase in S-rank Boasters.
I seriously don't know why this is even happening.
This has been happening to me. This hasn't happened to me since I was a kid. KOJIMAAAAA.gif
FINALLY! Secure the Bridgeheads was successful and got almost 40k Precious Metal. Last dispatch mission left and I am done with this stupid RNG bullshit. Honestly it wouldn't be even that bad if the timers were shorter. Waiting over two hours to get message deployment failed sucks so much especially when you have already tried it dozens of times.

Last night I found a guy with A+ in every category, and I knew he was full of shit.
Oh man, you will be very, very lost story-wise in this game.
Without spoiling anything, will just say that MGSV: Ground Zeroes takes place in 1975, MGSV: The Phantom Pain in 1984 and MGS1 in 2005.

No, just do a few side op missions to get a new story mission.
Oh, thank god. I've already tried completing an earlier story mission in order to trigger the next one, but that didn't work. So I have to do another one or two? Cool, thanks.

You will also want to complete any yellow dotted side ops.
That's what I'm doing now. Battle dress on, full automatic stun rifle, scan the A+ soldiers, kill the rest. I just need to see the ending and be done with it. While the gameplay is still superb, the story and the way Konami is handling things (FOB, Insurance, etc) is souring me badly.
Actually, I have already completed all available side ops (135/157), so I'm re-playing a few of them now.
edit: I've obtained two tapes
(Questioning Huey, parts 5 and 6)
edit 2: I completed that new mission. More have been unlocked, including what I assume to be the final mission.

Mind blowing play, the way he plays around with the enemy AI is something else. And that Skulls takedown, so many damn ways to do things in this game.
Definitely going to steal that tech of using the tranq gun on objects for distraction.
Let the credits finish rolling.

I've been on a blackout for this game and just picked it up a week ago, had no idea how many missions there were and was thinking the same thing once the credits started rolling after mission 31.
Just started chapter 2 today, the lack of story cutscenes is making the game drag a bit but the more than excellent gameplay makes up for it.

Finally almost to the end of the main story at 63 hours in... Just need to do a bit of stuff to unlock mission
.
Really enjoyed the journey so far, but kind of looking forward to this being over so I can get back to The Wicher 3.

Letters - rank. S is the highest, E is the lowest. Higher is better.
And I've been playing the game (at around 90% completion) with using auto-assign for everyone. Had no issues.

Wow the final non-lethal assault rifle unlock requires 360 fuel every time you go out. And you can't even adjust the suppressor to a higher tier.
What the hell is this shit? There are 500 lethal weapons in the game, but at the same time the game goes out of its way to make non-lethal as annoying as possible. Aside from precious metal, Fuel is by far the most difficult resource in the game.
Tranq gun with unlimited suppressor requires like 40 Golden Crescent everytime you go out as well.
I basically have a grocery list of things I have to farm whenever I go out so at least I break even.

Does anyone know of a good play though with no commentary?
I can't stand Youtube's box quality.

For episode 13, Pitch Dark, does anyone know how to get the optional objective of exfiltrating before the area is closed off? I tried detonating the C4 from afar, but it seems you have to be closer to be able to detonate C4. I also tried taking out every enemy at the oil field. Then there was no one there to report on the explosion, so the area was not closed off. And then I exfiltrated. Unfortunately that didn't count for some reason. So you have to ensure that reinforcements are called in, and then escape before they get there?
Get on top of a materials container and Fulton it. You can ride it home.
Went through episode
again on the second playthrough through and got hit hard by the feels again.
Waited for soldiers to say stuff this time, which just made me feel even worse. One soldier
;_;

begged BB to shoot him and when I wait he shouted "coward!", took his own gun out and shot himself from under his chin

I did that in one attempt. The objective did not trigger.
Hm. Weird. Did you wait to blow the C4 until right before you fultoned?

I still need to finish this damn game. I don't know how some of you 100% it in a few days to a weeks time. I got 50-60 hours in and only on mission 26 with all of the side ops that have unlocked up until this point completed (a good 80%)
How far am I into the story at mission 26? No spoilers please.
Also I found a bunch of S Rank soldiers in the field finally in a side op just now. First ones ever.

Out of all the stuff that happens in a 100+ hour game, this is probably the worst of it thankfully.

It was the opposite for me.
It was nice to see Quiet and Venom leave aside all that's on their shoulders and just play in the rain, even if it was for just a small moment.

You know you've been playing too much MGSV when you come across a shipping crate and the first thing you think of is Fulton extracton...
My brother was playing GTAV, he went to the docks and the first thing I could think about was to steal all the crates.

Just finished missions 28 and 29...
28 was full on ass. Cheaped it after 5 tries. I don't remember there being a checkpoint the entire mission?
29 was easy peasy.
Those are the two missions I saw a lot of people talking about but avoided spoilers. On I go mission 30.

There definetily is a checkpoint once you get to
Code Talker
past the snipers, go through the front of the house since there is two guards, get Code Talker out and just run past the zombies to nearest LZ.

haha, same thing happens to me whenever i see bright coloured plants.
also, this one i was watching tv, a sudden flash came on-screen, and it was like going into reflex mode.

You may be right about that checkpoint. I eventually took the route you speak of and bypassed the entire first part of that mission. I tried a few times to do it but it was not easy and gave up. Will go back to it at a later time. I just wanna finish the story now.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried to get that objective. I detonated the C4, and immediately got the cutscene that shows walkers being called in the direction of the oil field, then after the cutscene, the game teleported me a ways away from the container, so I ran back to the container and fultoned myself out.
I thought it was a nice moment where they just goof off, which was really needed after all the heavy stuff before it.
The one on the tower in the ruins?

Used this trick personally and it worked like a charm.
That's the one. Thanks

hmmm, i played pitch dark (perfect stealth) yesterday and i turned off the oil transfer pump first and then blew the tank while i was in the big pipe and when i did it warped me to a different place
but when i first did that optional objective a few weeks ago i turned off the oil transfer pump first then planted the c-4 then got out of the base completely and then blew up the tank from a vantage point over looking the oil field and remained there once the cutscene played out, weird that you cannot detonate the c-4 from far away because i could, if you are still having trouble i can post that video tomorrow
on an off note: i taught venom how to walk a tightrope ...he's pretty good
