I think I did something weird on Mission 11

Spoiler

I decided since Quiet was a stationary target I would drop a supply box onyo her to stun her. She ended up moving but at the same time she stopped shooting so maybe I knocked her unconscious while still triggering that movement animation somehow? I was just able to run to the exit freely.

 

[aravuus]

Wow people here rally hate MGS4 and PW.
I've liked them both and I don't really understand this hatred x)

It's been years since I last played MGS4, but I remember really enjoying it. IIRC the plot really was anime insanity overload, but that's what made it so goddamn entertaining.

Gonna be replaying it soon so I'm pretty excited to see if my memory has failed me completely.

 

[Vire]

Most things in this series doesn't make any damn sense lol. It's amazing that people are drawing the line here.

ITT MGS fans realize that the Metal Gear storyline has never been good and has always been a kitschey mess.

 

[Rodin]

So i was on mission and Kaz called me telling that mb was under attack, so i aborted the mission and went back but i couldn't find any sign of invasion happening on the map. Also i'm offline precisely because i don't want to see this shitty mechanic in action. What's happening? Is this a bug or if i search mb i'll find this attack?

 

[NeonBlack]

Is there anything I can do with troublemakers?

 

[Alienous]

It's trying to play super stupid shit as super serious.

Spoiler

Parasites killing you because they recognize the vibrations of a certain language, that makes no sense at all. Thematically it's a good idea but when it actually translates to the execution its really bad

Spoiler

They also give some people superpowers.

Kojima, man.

I liked both of those games. The overall story in Peace Walker is silly.

MGS4 just literally pandered to the fans who wanted everything explained. Pretty much that whole story was predictable. I can see why a lot in the MGS community dislike 4.

Naomi was literally a useless character and her final scene was over the top and not needed.

Snake and Raiden both totally ignored what their characters were and became in MGS2. Snake was just some grumpy old man and Raiden was just a ninja.

- enemies in FULL ARMOR. can't put them to sleep at all it seems or am I missing something?

CQC from behind. They seem to hear worse than regular soldiers you can pick one behind another without the latter realizing anything.

 

[ElTorro]

2.) Huey yes at the R&D platform. Nothing special seems to happen though. I'm trying to find Ocelot and Miller but it looks like no.

When and where can I find him? I ran around my R&D platforms a few times, but I couldn't find him. I am currently on mission 17.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Is there anything I can do with troublemakers?

Either fire them or put in some Diplomats into the squad.

 

[shiba5]

I tried doing this to the first escort vehicle to stop the whole convoy, but it just veered off the road and the others kept on going

Spoiler

Take the horse or walker and run straight to the airport. Stay along the fence until you see a gap in the razor wire on top of the fence. This gap happens to be behind a building and the truck you need is parked right in front. Jump the fence, stroll over to the truck. This triggers the cutscene with the skulls. Run to the truck, Fulton it out, whistle for the horse and then run like hell to the right and out the front gate. Keep running straight (ignore the skulls) until you get out of the hot zone.

This, it's totally insane but I love it all the same.

Only issue with TPP is that by the end revelations are made that are really awkward given the place TPP takes in the series timeline. But this is what happens with making sequel prequels in a series for something as convoluted as MGS =/

Spoiler

They also give some people superpowers.

Kojima, man.

Exactly, think of all the things in game that they're responsible for. Definitely the new nanomachines.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

He's down some stairs next to a big door. You will have a button prompt to get in, if it doesn't let you in, then it's later on into the story before you can get in.

 

[Aerobatics]

"So, V's coming too, huh?" not being the thread title is a goddamn tragedy.

 

[Ketch]

Pretty much that whole story was predictable.

Uhh... Are sure you played a metal gear game?

 

[Papercuts]

- enemies in FULL ARMOR. can't put them to sleep at all it seems or am I missing something?

- how do I unlock the "black hole" fulton?

The full armor enemies are awful, don't think there's any way to tranq them and even going lethal they are massive sponges. You need to grab them to do anything.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Yeah I don't like the full armor enemies either. They seem to have worse hearing though.

 

[Boke1879]

ITT MGS fans realize that the Metal Gear storyline has never been good and has always been a kitschey mess.

Exactly! You take the themes of each game seriously and yes certain parts of the story evoke emotion. But lets be real this series is silly, over the top, convoluted and some of it makes no damn sense.

Yet we come back game after game and we'll be talking about this game and the series itself for another 5 years.

MGS1 and 2 were the absolute best in the series. 3 was good but after that the fanbase wanted everything explained after MGS2. Which his how we got MGS4.

Downstairs. Really stupid, too. I already have the signs pointing to his lab on my base even though I haven't rescued him in the first place lol

At least we will now be able to see if Kojima can deliver a good story outside of the Metal Gear framework. I kinda miss the Snatcher - MGS1 era Kojima.

 

[Chariot]

Dang, I didn't even think about decoys, I even had them with me lol

I never leave the ACC without. Best rhing to stop vehicles if you got no enemy aoldier on hand and pretty good to disttract and collect people for sniping.

The full armor enemies are awful, don't think there's any way to tranq them and even going lethal they are massive sponges.

CQC.

 

[J.EM1]

Is there armor-piercing ammo that can be developed? Need a better way to deal with these armored enemies (other than CQC and using buddy).

 

[Boke1879]

Uhh... Are sure you played a metal gear game?

Played every single game. MGS4 was damn near predictable. The only thing that may have shocked me was the ACTUAL ending. Thank god I wasn't spoiled by that image released before the game.

Other than that you knew exactly who the Patriots were if you played Portable Ops.

I've scoured through both the game and the guide - I can't find anything that requires it to be researched or built. I think it's there solely for us to make massive GMP gains.

Wrong because of the above.

I'm sorry but I'm not an open-world guy,

could anyone please suggest a spoiler free walkthrough for the main story?

Man, I still hope that this is some extreme meta PR and TGS explodes when Kojima, Konami and Hayter walk on the stage and present the missing chapter free update that fixes and adds everything. Everything.

i just sold a ton of precious metal.

i hope this not a mistake.

I saw it in D-Walker upgrades.

 

[The Flash]

Started playing a little bit yesterday. I'm enjoying it so far but I'm not particularly good at it. Patience isn't one of my strengths.

Is that not super loud? Haven't actually used it yet.

It's silent and invisible seemingly, until it hits a wall.

And with 55 hours in the game I finished chapter 1!!!

Now onto chapter 2!!!

BTW want to thanks some guys here that helped a lot on mission 29. Thanks guys.

Spoiler

Fighting Salahantropus was insane and so good. And the cutscene afterward was awesome.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

No wonder Konami took their name and logo off the box. They were just saving us from being reminded who made this game again.

 

[DukeBobby]

A lot of these main missions are starting to bore me now.

Why am I constantly being asked to rescue some prisoner or eliminate some random commander? This is a MAIN MISSION. Give me something interesting to do.

I'm really enjoying the game, but it desperately needs more mission variety.

 

[RedlineRonin]

How effective is the auto attack? Other buddy you mentioned seems like he's dying a lot now that outposts have shotguns and machine guns and the other one was great unto everyone started wearing helmets....

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

All of this I read about the ending is making me very afraid of it, especially since I suspect something in particular. Well I'll see.

Depends.

already built that, didn't need much either. very mortal kombat, huh?

 

[Big Chungus]

So I didnt do most of the sideops and got to Mission 31...now some of them are missing..

Did I screw up my game? Did I miss the chance to clear all sideops and get the achievement?

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.

Right, forgot about that. It takes peanuts to do though, compared to how much we all have.

I don't extract white containers, and I've still got over 13k PM just from reds and finding it in the field. That's 13,000,000GMP worth.

I'm pretty sure your GMP storage goes up with the extra FOBs too, as the cost of them is over four times what you can hold with only one FOB.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.

Hmmm, you're like me after I beat MGS4 now. Let that anger flow through you, brother.

 

[pizzacat]

Why is there an OT2?

 

[Vire]

I feel like the raging and tears of MGS4 fans hating the story in this game is making me love it even more.
