If you want, side ops would be more productive though.
The irony
I used a spoiler tag, like I suggested others should. I'm no hypocrite when it comes to spoilers.

I agree with Kenz, either this post is purposefully Ironic, or you are an idiot.
How is someone supposed to know what the spoiler is about without reading it?
Proper spoiler would be this:
Spoiler for Mission 12.
Fuck. What a rush of weird things and survival horror

How long do you have to stay hidden after getting spotted? Feels like 5 minutes

Read Spazznid's post, that is how you use spoilertags.
You can't just do a spoiler tag with no hint as to what's in it.
Is it just me, or is being stingy with the kills is a bad idea in the first playthrough?
Thankfully I realized this relatively early, I should play this like the Last of Us instead of a traditional Metal Gear, half the fun is getting caught and trying to improvise on-the-fly.
I finished
mission and 80 side ops with about 30 kills. Most of my deaths have been trying to survive getting caught using only the tranq gun.

Damn it.
Got pretty burned by the Checkpoint system for the first time.
Mission 9 I think it was.. After a ton of traversal, ambushing, resupplies, etc etc etc. and what ended up being an awesome mission, I died stupidly on an option target of opportunity. Restarted the entire mission.
That said, love this game.
Need to get further.

Despite everything, this game actually makes me feel like a BAWS, playing it. I haven't felt like a badass in a game since Arkham Asylum.
Yes the helicopter landing/taking off sequence takes time and gets annoying when you just want to jump in and out of side-ops - but fuck does it feel badass to go in and get out bloodied and battered after shit went down.

Yeah, I kill when I have to. This is Big Boss and not Solid Snake.

After a few seconds, the enemy will assume you are where you were last spotted. They will proceed to shoot in the general area and maybe investigate. Then, a minute later, they will call in that they've lost sight of you and definitely investigate the area you were last spotted. After searching for about a minute, they will call in that they can't find you or, if you've left some corpses or sleepers, they'll go into light alert mode, changing up their movement, as well as being more observant. This won't end for a LONG time.
Best thing to do is use their movements as a guide. Lose sight of them, then move around them. They are mega jumpy at that stage, and distracting them will be easy, but they are also more trigger happy when they have an idea where you are.
This isn't MGS2 or 3, guards aren't retarded goldfish. They won't assume the crazy horned super soldier just up and left after killing one or two of their dudes.
Roll with the punches, and change with their changes.

They just need upgrades. The tranq sniper in-particular is so good it's almost a crutch, especially with 2-8x variable zoom. Even with helmets, if you can't get a clear shot of their face, a quick shot to the arm and it's now powerful enough that they drop in about 3 seconds.

QUIET SPOILERS!!!!!
So I'm watching the VA and body model of Quiet play some MGSV and-
Wait.
Wait wait wait.

I don't understand, I rescued a prisoner, took her to a safe location and used the Fulton, then the voice over said prisoner has died.

The fact that you get a beautiful view of your performance as gunpowder, blood, and general death trophies, after a mission is great. Seeing my soldier covered in blood, attached to a saline bag from being out too long, is the best.
What was the fulton %? If weather is adverse, it's not a 100% guarantee it'll make it.

Probably was injured.

Oh I see, wasn't sure to be honest. It was the ' prisoner extraction 02' mission.
I'm doing it again now. Oh well.

Well sorry.
The injured ones just don't let you fulton them though. It just comes up with a stop sign through it.
Is there a tick next to it? If so,it's done. Side ops and missions can just be replayed when you like.

Yeah I usually am not patient enough to search for any wheels so I call in my Walking Gear and use it to get around which ends up just wasting GMP.
I wonder why they put that restriction there. You can drive around the areas seamlessly so it's not like there is ever a need to load. And you can get where you want anyway by just going to the ACC so it can't even really be a balance issue...
Kinda mind boggling that a detail like that might have been overlooked. I mean when I first saw how the Heli was used in GZ along with them touting the open world nature of the game I absolutely expected to be able to jump around from point to point with the heli.
Would you say you're nuclear and wild? are you breaking up inside?

Actually, if a character gets injured over time, say, by getting shot a bunch, then the fulton % goes down. Try shooting a gurad a few times in the legs instead of tranqing them. They'll be on the ground in agony and the % is low.
I hate work so much right now. Any time spent being productive is time away from moaar Metal Gear haha.
It's definitely the best game of this new generation so far.
Simply put if you're a die hard MGS fan, after a few hours you know this is the final perfect form of Metal Gear Hideo always wanted the franchise to assume.
The only thing slightly missing are the cutscenes and story but I'm early on so maybe it gets better!
It can get maybe a tad tedious yes, but the feeling of arriving back to an ever sprawling Mother Base for instance is awesome.
I take Helicopter arrivals/departures as time to decompress or prepare myself for what's up next.

is there any adverse effect to recruiting too many soldiers?

Without any spoilers being tossed my way, is the game really unfinished? I read in some reviews that this is the case, but managed to avoid every spoiler so far. Should I be worried?
While I agree, there is the carboard box fast travel at least.
I imagine they might have had problems with pathing for the chopper. Maybe they didn't want the chopper to just fly over hot zones all the time and alert people.

Unfinished? What does that even mean?
Granted I am not too far in, but the game is pretty damned polished, and the reception scores wise, and from fans, has been excellent. So what, in the context, could unfinished mean?
The tick is there, but it isn´t grayed out anymore like the others, and pays GMP again.
And it sucks, because in the overview it is marked again as "new mission".

Only one subplot is left unresolved. You can watch it as a YouTube clip though. I liked the ending a lot.

There's a side op you can get that will allow you to customize your weapon. That's how I ended up getting a suppressor on my sniper rifle.
Listen to the tapes and look closely at the infected and people who died to the infection. They share a common trait.
If you don't feel like doing that, here is the answer.
They speak Kikongo
There's only one thing every single soldier they've already quarantined has in common. You can suds it out just from the iDroid Click the second spoiler if you just want the answer.
its people who speak Kikongo

Something to do with the story. I can't say as I don't know, but I've seen a number of reviews on Metacritic saying this.
Guess it's been confirmed by one poster here just now. Oh well.
I am incredibly lazy and I thank you, my guess was
Russian, they all seemed to speak that. Though I thought the language thing was a crazy theory.
It is crazy lol.
miller even says as much when you successfully quarantine them. Just remember you can select multiple staff by pressing X/Square so you don't have to do it one at a time.

I would've given Quiet a shot as my buddy if she had better outfits.
Thread title is appropriately meta commentary on the fanbase in general, so I approve.

It has probably been answered but the chopper is blocking the mountain route/climbable wall. No idea why.
