It's hard to believe that it was a conscious design decision. My guess is that it was a budget issue. Konami has been shown to be pretty stingy with its money in recent revelations, and Keifer was probably more expensive than your typical video game VA actor.

Probably the same issue as Destiny had with Dinklage. Hollywood actors are hard to get back to the studio to record more stuff.

They had the original recording sessions to do tapes and cutscenes that were planned long ago, then during development they couldn't get him to the studio anymore.

 

[depths20XX]

I'm not even as far as most of you guys (Mission 14 or so) and it feels like Kojima forgot to put characters into this game or something.

Gameplay is fun but I keep waiting for some mission to really amp things up and it never happens. It's just go extract some other guy or something.

 

[Sub_Level]

Hopefully by the time I get there the Quiet bug will be patched.

Anyone know of any stealth alternatives to dealing with tanks?

You can develop an emp mine. Then just sneak around and fulton it.

 

[Auto_aim1]

I think they've improved their servers. No longer lags like crazy in the iDroid menu.

 

[KingBroly]

If I remember correctly, at the end of Peace Walker

Spoiler

The Boss's AI decided to sink Peace Walker to stop the nukes. Snake took it as The Boss betraying him (since he was raised to be a weapon by her). He decided to take the name Big Boss after that, the name the US gave him for killing The Boss during Snake Eater.

That sounds

Spoiler

really fucking dumb.

Need help with an Important Side-Op on Chapter 2.

Spoiler

I'm supposed to recover The Man On Fire's remains and have literally captured the entire outpost (every enemy in this entire area is currently snoozing). I still can't find him. Where is he?

right there in the middle of the outpost plaza

he is in the middle of the outpost. Pretty easy to miss if it's nighttime

just approach from behind and fulton them, later you get more stuff to deal with them

Looks like I can make Quiet some clothes now.

METAL GEAR OFFICIAL ‏@metalgear_en 56s57 seconds ago
An issue has been reported where the game will persist in a continuous loop on a black screen; the team is looking into cause & resolution

 

[MiamiWesker]

You can develop an emp mine. Then just sneak around and fulton it.

Or smoke grenades, sneak and fulton.

General dialog question

Spoiler

Am I the only one who considers it odd that everyone calls Snake Big Boss? Particularly Ocelot and Miller, who know him closely. Shouldn't they call him Snake, or in Ocelot's case, John?

Ocelot and Snake

Spoiler

call each other John and Adam

in the final cutscene though.

 

[sonto340]

anyone else go through this same process:

1) scan a guard to check his stats
2) are they ranked C or above in anything? If so, bring em home
3) are they low ranked but a specialist? Damn, sucks that they kinda stink but lets bring 'em home
4) are they neither? well then

• can you sneak behind them so they can give you some info?
• you're pretty good on info in this mission soooooo
  Spoiler

  DD go kill that fool
  . Can't leave someone alive who can cost you later in the mission.

This loop happens at almost every outpost and really doesn't get old lol

Replace the last bit with Fulton them anyway and that's how I've been playing Metal Gear Ballon Party V The Phantom Fulton.

 

[The Elite]

right there in the middle of the outpost plaza

Yeah, this one got me good. I killed/extracted everyone on the entire base. Looked around several times and finally had to youtube it only to feel like a dumbass.

 

[muteki]

Sneak behind them and fulton them or develop the mine that incapacitates vehicles without destroying them

Haven't developed either so far, good to know though.

I've been trying to find a list of cassette tape locations, is it true that

Spoiler

Africa (toto) isn't in the game?

Would have been awesome.

 

[Dimmle]

I hate these sorts of comments.

Yeah, they're worthless sentiments.

Happy to see i'm not alone in this. Top much F2P shit in this game

It'd also be so great if people could learn to properly tag spoilers.

Example.

I'm doing [mission 11 spoilers]

Spoiler

a really great job using spoiler tags

and it's really fun.

 

[barneystuta83]

MGSV Mythbusters. I love the attention to detail in this game.

[Oni Jazar]

So something unexpected happened I stared mission 3 or 4 and a status update appeared - I had over 300,000 GDP and it's all gone. Now I'm in the red! Is there some monthly rent or regular maintenance I gotta pay?

 

[QFNS]

It's not and it breaks my heart.

A damn shame. Oh well thanks to custom soundtracks I can put it back in where it rightfully belongs. PLAYING FROM MY HELICOPTER AT HIGH VOLUME.

 

[DarkChronic]

Yikes. I remember bring quiet along for Mission 29.

I am now on Mission 33 so I here is hoping the danger has passed...

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Yikes. I remember bring quiet along for Mission 29.

Could anybody clarify what this game breaking bug is, but please in Spoilertags. I used her too in mission 29 and didn't notice anyhting unusual afterwards.

Amazing!
Although I gotta speak agains the busted myth. I personally killed an enemy soldier in my very first mission by throwing Miller at him.

Wait, that's not in the game? What an oversight. Dammit, Sony, make custom soundtracks available on PS4 already. Spotify can only do but so much.

 

[Dimmle]

They're not wrong.

Regardless of whether they're accurate, most people in this thread are deep in the thick of the game and can't engage in that discussion. It's not helpful or interesting to keep airing cryptic generalizations of the ending/broader game in a spoiler-free thread.

 

[Hurricane43]

I wonder if and have not seen it again during my hundred plus hours if the

bears are in free roam other than the initial time

 

[omgkitty]

Fuk mission 16. Jesus H Christ... I hate that enemy so much. Quiet was useless as well there.

That's literally my next mission :\

where can I find the damn love will tear us apart tape?

This is one of the major reasons MGS has always been so great. Every one of these games is littered with absolutely mind boggling details.

 

[mcarlie]

I used Quiet on mission 29...

Am I f'd?

 

[MegaSackman]

It's medium difficulty if you use a

Spoiler

big machine gun, easier if you use a rocket launcher.

 

[Screaming Meat]

They're not wrong.

Regardless, it's tainting someone's opinion before they get to form it themselves. It's one thing to broadly share disappointment, quite another to directly scupper one's excitement with crypto-smug comments, you know? No one will thank them for it, so I'm not sure what the benefit is.

I beat that mission with her. She was actually a big help at one point.

EDIT: Whoops, just realized why you said that. Ah shit, I hope I'm not screwed.

 

[Crypt]

Yeah, this one got me good. I killed/extracted everyone on the entire base. Looked around several times and finally had to youtube it only to feel like a dumbass.

I searched every door in that facility and the surrounding area at least 3 times before I pulled out the night vision goggles and did another lap. Finally spotted him when I got at the top of the cliff side

The presentation in mission

was amazing. Apocalypse Now meets P.T. kinda.

I used her on it (only mission I've actually used her for) and I've been able to progress to misson 40-something just fine.

Pretty much. I start with the ol' "ANALYSIS COMPLETE ANALYSIS COMPLETE ANALYSIS COMPLETE" routine, place markers on the dudes I want to keep (at this point my units are high enough that you've gotta have at least a couple of A-ranks to get a Fulton ride), then whoever's left gets a swift bullet.

I take special care murdering the dudes who dare to show up at work with Es and Ds across the board. Like, seriously, this is who you're pitting against me?

 

[RealityPales]

I have been playing this game for at least 15 hours+, and Keifer has said no more than 15 words.

Why couldn't Hayter deliver the one page of Big Boss' dialogue?

 

[Hasney]

lol retweeting about a game breaking bug. Too funny.

Would you rather they were just silent on it until they could patch it? More companies should do this.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

I have just accepted the fact that while I enjoy these games, I am not very good at them.
I have done 3 main missions now (have not had a whole lot of time to play since launch) and I have gotten a B rank for every single one. Chick I believe is my ranking. Without replaying every mission, which right now I just do not have the time to do, I am pretty positive I am never going to get an S.

So is it people get an S the very first time they play? Or are people replaying the missions to get an S? Or restarting missions if they make a mistake?

Most S ranks depend on speed, so if you run and gun (well) through a mission you're more likely to be rewarded with higher ranks. Chick rank is for everyone until your heroism score get's higher. Do a few missions and you should get different ones.
