I guess you guys have all accepted we've all heard that particular spoiler by now, huh. Please stop it for the player's that haven't, though.

I'm not sure if this has already been answered but I keep fultoning/selling enemy equipment (mortars, gun emplacements,anti air guns, etc...). Do I need these for anything offline or I can I continue to enjoy the GMP spoils?
 
finally got spoiled, for fucks sake I wish people tagged their spoilers properly.

I thought it was a tip for an early mission but instead it was what I'd assume an endgame spoiler about (I don't even know if it's true, don't click if you haven't finished the game)
everything being your imagination or at least Quiet is?
, how screwed am I?

Do we know the extent of the save corruption error? Like if I used Quiet on Mission 29 and have had saves since then am I okay? Or is my gamesave a ticking timebomb?

I dont have 46.
I have up to 50 but 46 is missing.
Do 1 mission or 3 side ops and it'll open up, as long as all important side ops are done

You're good now. The bug breaks the game just after the mission has ended

Quiet's humming has been stuck in my head all day at work. "hmmmm hmm hmmmm... HMMMM HMMM HMMMM"

I can't wait to go home and play some more!
 
Snake talks in tapes, but it's mostly limited to the same shit Snake does during any expositional sequence.

"...Parasites?!"

"...Sahelanthropus?!"

"...Kaz?!"

Well, I just listened to
"Skull Face's Demise" in Skull Face's Objective
1, and he asks a question, but it's delivered so flatly.

Next one in that tape "They lit a fire and I through him in"... again, flat. Once in a while, he sounds completely fine, but for the most part, and maybe it is because he's up against actual voice actors who, you know, act with their voices, but it's so lifeless.

I guess, in a technicolor film, grey and brown are ok choice colors, but they're going to look bad against bright blues, yellows, reds, and greens.

Honestly, I've been harsh on Sutherland because I don't think he is a good actor in TV and film, and I think people like him because he played a badass in a mediocre but popular television show that grossly outstayed its welcome, but hearing all the other voices in this game, compared to the voice work in 1-4, and it is hard to say that it is the fault of the cast.

Maybe because you have these tapes on static screens instead of cutscenes, you're forced to listen to the voices on their own, and that results in harsher criticism.

I dunno. Of the reoccurring characters, I think every performance in this game is worse than every previous incarnation of the same character. Even
Huey
sounds worse in this than Peace Walker, and Hal in the previous 1-4.

Seriously....
"Ha ha! Revenge!"
was such a bad line reading that I laughed. What were they thinking?
 
Whats the best way to find higher grade soldiers for my base? Or is it just luck of the draw? Looking for specialists and elites don't seem to have any higher stats that the regulars.

I won't say a word. If I don't, and nobody else does, you won't be spoiled, even if that's true, or if it isn't.

Mystery.

I need help with Episode 31, spoilers:

Alright so I beat Sahelanthropus and now I'm faced with the decision to kill Skull Face. Is there anything to gain if you don't kill him? Is this even an important choice? Can someone tell me? I have the game paused right where BB has the gun pointed at him much like Quiet so I want to know, do I pull the trigger or if I don't does that lead to the True ending?

Thanks to anyone who can answer asap.

Even if you decide to do the deed, the cutscene won't let you.
It's not your life to claim.
 
I've tried to be careful about my spoilers, hiding characters names when appropriate and I give heads up on pre/post mission numbers on what I'm about to discuss, but if the innocuous word
parasite
is a spoiler for some reason, then I apologize and at this point I'll just bow out of this thread.

man

real talk: fuck the skulls

yeah they're fun as a concept and all

but I just dread them

I never have fun against them. not that they're too hard or anything but they just completely fuck the pace. I wanna get through them to get back to the fun

They don't have any of the usual MGS boss ingenuity. They're just really fast bullet sponges. That's never fun.

Does the bond decrease when you are not using a buddy?
Bond level decreases when you don't use them in the field at all, dismiss them during a mission, and injure/damage them. If you start a mission without any buddy, bond level stays the same.

They are the worst. Every mission against them is boring and tedious.
 
I hate the Skulls too. Only the fight in 28 was fun cos it's a sniper mission.

I'm just about to do mission 31 and I'm pretty confused over how I'm apparently only two thirds of the way through the game haha.

Mission 30 was amazing. I snuck through the entire area perfectly. Felt amazing.

I did like the
Man on Fire
boss fight, though. That actually felt like a real boss. A contained space, special solutions. I just wish the solution wasn't instantly given to me by Ocelot.

I did have fun trying
to kill him with my water pistol, though. Didn't work, but it made me laugh.

Yep. They're not good enemies at all. Come to think of it, my favorite fights in the game have been with (Encounter spoiler, read if you've finished Chapter 1)
Eli, surprisingly. The two fights I've had with him have been more interesting than the entirety of the skulls appearances. How sad is that?

Which spoiler?

Late game spoilers:
parasites

I'm not that far yet but I was spoilered by it like days ago which people were really angry about. Now I guess we've all accepted it and are not bothering to spoiler tag that shit.

FAKE EDIT: Do not comment with more details on that spoiler, I don't want to know anything further.
