Reading these comments is scaring me. Are there no boss fights ? Just skulls? I'm on mission 19 and haven't encountered a boss yet.

Mission 31 will definitely satisfy you, but don't expect much of anything else.

 

[Rean]

Spoiler

It's cut from the game. Maybe DLC later or something but you won't get an answer of what happens to Eli in the current game.

No.

Spoiler

That mission was cut. You don't have any more story missions if you also have done 45.

Spoiler

Well, thats pretty disappointing.

 

[J Range]

Don't get your hopes up.

That's too bad, MGS bosses are usually the best in the industry imo.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Question about something related to episode 12.

Spoiler

how can you destroy the power grid outside of where Huey is at?

The game tells me that I can destroy it and it will help me at night but I don't know what I'm suppose to destroy to get that effect

 

[Soulflarz]

I'd definitely consider

Spoiler

the Skulls

boss fights. Especially

Spoiler

the sniper team

in episode 28 and the

Spoiler

big armored guys

in episode 29.

28? What're you talking about, you can walk by them :V I didn't even crawl after the first 30s...

Just saying, not really a boss fight >_>

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Has anybody had this glitch before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCPZsxvzqMo

Is there something wrong with my Diamond Dog boys ):

 

[tryagainlater]

I can't seem to level past 29 in R&D. As soon as I get to 29, it says a fight has broken out and goes back down to 28. Should I move the trouble doers out? People said they're not really a big deal and it levels down so systematically here that I feel something is up.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

What were your guys' completion percentage when finishing the game?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Agree to disagree then my man.

Spoiler

Quiet fight is great, but the game never again even approaches something like that.

Agreed, sadly there is not enough of those.

I mean wtf happened during this game's development? a character like

Spoiler

Mantis

had the chance to surpass MGS1's Psycho Mantis boss fight, still one of the best and most memorable boss fights ever made.

Edit: I forgot, the Metal Gear boss fight in this game is imo the best in any of the MGS games.

That's too bad, MGS bosses are usually the best in the industry imo.

That's why the whole fanbase is very disappointed.

Ther are two negative things about this game. 1. Story, 2. boss fights

Two things that were always a big part in any of the MGS games.

 

[MMarston]

What were your guys' completion percentage when finishing the game?

50%


Way more than I thought I'd end up with

 

[Edzi]

So I've heard people mention special cutscenes with some of your buddies, but I don't know how to trigger them. I've got Quiet's bond level maxed out, but haven't seen anything new. If there's nothing left to do/unlock with her, I may switch back to D-Dog to max him out too.

 

[16BitNova]

Apparently there is an extra scene ONLY available on the collectors edition of the game that gives a more satisfying ending? Is this true? If so that's kind of BS.

Also, I know I've asked once in here already, but, anyone who has beaten the game, can you please let me know how to get the "true" ending? Like the requirements. I just want to get through this in one play through as I know this game will eat up a bunch of my time as it is, I don't want to miss whatever is needed.

 

[daveo42]

What were your guys' completion percentage when finishing the game?

39% at 59h 3m with 22 main missions and 70 side-ops completed.

 

[cackhyena]

Is there a reason DD doesn't stay for shit when I tell him to stay?

You're after the box with the blinking blue light, usually enclosed within a fence with barbed wire. It should look familiar if you've played Ground Zeroes. In that particular area, I believe it's

Spoiler

down the road a bit, on the right side. You shouldn't be able to miss it.

If you go up to it, you should get a prompt that looks a bit like the profile of a button. You can hit it to temporarily turn it off, or you can use an explosive like C4 to blow it up. Doing either will obviously draw attention, the latter more so.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Any way to make it so enemies you fulton go to the waiting room and you manually assign them?

I gotta say the UI for this game is kind of a mess.

 

[mauaus]

If i rescue some prisioners in mission 10 and i extract mid mission aka i dont finish it... Do i still get my prisoners /soldiers?

 

[Ōkami]

Beat the game, pretty sure I didn't got the true ending, otherwise, well. dissapointing to say the least.

What I got, spoilers of course.

Spoiler

Mission 46, just the prologue again.

Big plot twist is that the snake you play as isn't the real snake, at the end of the mission you see Ocelot get the true Snake out of there, he leaves on a bike, cut from that to the fake snake hearing a message from the man who sold the world, the true snake. Roll credits.

After the credits you see Ocelot and Miller talking, that's it.

Pretty sure it's not the real ending, Zero shows in the credits, but I didn't found him in the game.

How do I get the real thing?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I dunno man, I really like the story and all the cassette tapes. /shrug

Really? i mean yeah sure, what's there is pretty good but it's not enough imo, it makes you scream for more.

Thats the true ending, Zero talks in a new set of tapes

 

[rinker]

I visited 3 towns in Africa in a row and in each one I could only find 2 satellite relays. Is there something different about disabling comms in Africa or did they just get better at hiding them?

 

[KingKong]

Mission 43 was incredible. Kojima you've done it again

Zero is available through the Truth Records tapes which are actually pretty extensive and offer the most Zero we've gotten since MGS3.

Also, watch this in order to satisfy the Eli arc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B4JIHh5Jqk

EDIT: Fuck me, thought this was the Spoiler thread. Massive apologies to anyone who saw that before the edit.

 

[impliedsignificance]

Okay cool. But how do I import an mp3 on my computer into that menu? I want to blast John Cena's theme song.

Put any mp3 you want in the CustomSoundtrack directory in the Phantom Pain folder (<wherever Steam is installed>/steamapps/common/MGS_TPP/CustomSoundtrack)

 

[Superblatt]

Don't get your hopes up, there are boss fights but they are nowhere near as good as MGS1's FOXHOUND or MGS3's Cobra Unit.

I'm majorly disappointed

 

[brianmcdoogle]

39% at 59h 3m with 22 main missions and 70 side-ops completed.

Er, you didn't finish it then if you're only on mission 22.

 

[hipsterpants]

Ugh fuck mission 21

 

[daveo42]

Er, you didn't finish it then if you're only on mission 22.

Ohhhhh...ya...nvm

 

[jett]

Do you need to do side ops missions to get story-related missions?

Spoiler

Eli said he wanted to talk to Big Bawse, but I go to MB and nothing happens.

 

[Superman0]

I dunno man, I really like the story and all the cassette tapes. /shrug

Yeah, I am with you. I prefer this more so than the exposition and cut-scene dump that was MGS 4.

 

[mattiewheels]

So where can I finally get some clothes for this poor girl?

 

[Soulflarz]

No beyond the bounds? ;-;

 

[J-Skee]

Mission 28. Fox Engine doing work on

Spoiler

that mansion.

Had to stop myself after

Spoiler

the cliffhanger though.

I'm loving this so far.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Game froze and I lost 3 side ops of progress. Why doesn't it save after every trial? This sucks ass.

 

[daveo42]

Mission 23.

Spoiler

Yeah...it's gonna be one of those missions.

 

[Primethius]

The lack of boss fights is my only real gripe with the game. I miss the Cobra unit.

 

[LifEndz]

Another dumb question. In the motherbase tab, staff management sub tab I always have a numerical indicator next to staff management. How do I get rid of that? I've found the new staff members with the numerical icon next to their names but highlighting them doesn't get rid of the flashing indicator and my ocd is killing me. Thanks.

 

[Gbraga]

Morbid cynicism, but it gets results. That's humanity for you.

Not true. It just closes one thread of the story that leaves hanging and you can watch it on youtube. Watch only after you finish the game.

 

[Spazznid]

Agree to disagree then my man.

Spoiler

Quiet fight is great, but the game never again even approaches something like that.

Spoiler

I think the Female Skull Fight was fantastic, if not a bit easy.

 

[Panda Rin]

Just finished up mission 25 and

Spoiler

quarantining all of those soldiers...what a pain

 

[Sub_Level]

Code Talker's tapes are good but you really have to be in a patient mood to sit and listen. I do not recommend listening to them during gameplay. They need focus.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Ah yuss. Mission 18 done with an S rank. That was super stressful, holy cow.

 

[Sub_Level]

Ah yuss. Mission 18 done with an S rank. That was super stressful, holy cow.

It doesn't get easier.

 

[J Range]

How do I change d-walkers weapon loadout? I developed new stuff for it, and when I press x on it to try and equip it, it gives a click sound and nothing else.

 

[Yoshichan]

Can you safely go to the menu and choose "Return to helicopter" after a mission has been done, or do I need to assign a helicopter spot each time I finish a mission in order to keep my fultoned soldiers/items?

 

[Griss]

Wow, lmao. Late game spoilers:

Spoiler

Quiet in the rain.

I mean, just... what on earth? It's like Hideo

Spoiler

fell in actual romantic love with his own creation and forgot to write an actual plot as he was too busy making waifu scenes. I mean, just... what on earth?!?

 

[DrSlek]

Best ways to level bond with Quiet?

From what I've read, visiting her once per stay at mother base will increase it before she's even a buddy. String at her in first person mode in the chopper for 5 seconds will apparently increase it......and apparently staring at her boobs for 10 seconds in first person mode will "greatly" increase it. Spending 5 minutes in the chopper with her might also increase her bond level.

I'm not certain how much of this is true. I'm just going by what I've read, as she's not even available as a buddy for me yet. I'm only on mission 13.
