Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain |OT2| [EXTREME]

i wonder what other ones I may have missed. i'm actually slowly replaying a 2nd game file to see if I missed any sort of story-related Diamond Dogs/Mother Base content but it's slow going because I miss that I can't keep adding to my 'main file stats (e.g. kills, /played, outposts captured, etc)... really wish we had a NewGame+ that let us start over but keep our stats/items

The file system or lack of it is really stupid. I planed to just delete mine at some point but isn't that going to lose my MGO data at the same time?

Look in the hallway leading up to her room. Your pilot in Ground Zeroes is there.

S-ranks, side objectives, animals captured, yellow dispatch missions, blueprints, certificates, photos. All of these are required for 100% and unlocking all achievements.
Thanks.

Not sure I'll have the stamina to do 100%, but I'm interested in getting S-ranks and sideobejctives done at least. Some of those early missions should be a lot easier with wormhole fulton device, D-dog etc.

The tasks are super easy to accomplish once you develop stealth camo. Especially the "listen to conversation" ones

Limits rankings to A, unless there's a different version further in the game.

It's true, but you don't have to do all side-objectives and get an S rank at the same time. Getting S is easy if you just skip most of them and just go for the main objective quickly (though some objectives do give a decent amount of points).

I had wondered about this, as I did notice that cassette tapes were marked as completed in missions the second time. Makes it much easier then.
 
134 hours. Thank you for the journey, Kojima.

Congrats, don't think I would have the time to get it :/ Already put in around 60 hours and feel burned out

What I can't understand is why the deployment cost of a helicopter is 1000 GMP according to the customization screen, yet the pickup cost is 18k GMP each time.

Is there a cheaper alternative to being picked up by chopper apart from riding on fultoned containers? Seems choosing a lean sortie cost is negligible comparatively.

The moment a side op is completed (and you see the checkpoint save icon do its thing), you can just hit select and choose Exit to ACC to go to your chopper right away. It's fast and I don't remember there being any cost attached to it.

Hey xbox 360 players, reply to this post with your gamertag or PM it to me so I can support your FOB. I'll just keep refreshing the player list until I find you

Lately every time I log in my FOB for the most part has been successfully defended. Last night I logged in, got the message that my FOB was successfully defended and within seconds got another alert to defend my FOB. All of a sudden people really like invading.
 
Parasite suit says "Restricts mission completion rank to an A or below"

you can use the mist parasite but as long as you dont use any parasite suit features youre able to S a mission. same with the raiden suit, I've seen it used on youtube to S missions due to its running speed

not sure, I've never heard what happens to MGO data or FOB data if you delete your save file... one would think it would be safe because it should be server-side but who knows.

either way, if you want to start a new game but not delete your save file, just create a 2nd user profile if you're on PS4 (not sure how it works on XBO)
 
So I bootup the game 500k in the red... WTF. Says it "Failed to log in to server. You will not be able to use online features.(10012)"

Is the server down for anybody else?

Literally stuck on the first loading screen where it's "logging into sever" and I can't do anything. No option to select play offline or anything.

Edit: Never mind. It finally let me through offline after way longer than it should've taken.

Yup. I'm in the red too now.

-170,000 GMP in the red.

After having 3 million GMP when I logged out 24 hours ago.

the fuck is Konami doing?

Every guide and post I've come across notes that the Noise Suppression specialist is held prisoner in outpost #24 (the 'A' marker below) in mission 38. However the game marks it as being past the hot zone border (outlined in red).


Whether incapacitating all the soldiers or leaving stealthily I can't leave the area without concluding the mission. How is one meant to do this?

Go get the prisoner before doing the mission. Either be fast or just kill anyone at the mission site and go get the prisoner before getting the film.

Cheers. Odd way to set up mission borders.

Oh, another thing: is side ops #45 (prisoner extraction 19) repeatable? Since it's the only other mission that unlocks the OKB Zero area apart from mission #30.

Getting Trapped in 'Metal Gear Solid V's War Economy

And a good post from a reddit user:

He got the point well.
We're all a PFs, surviving on Conflicts occurring to bloom.
War in Afghanistan? Yup we're there helping the Muhjahadeen to fight against the Russians. Not for a better cause, simply because it'll earn us cash.
Civil War in Africa? Same here, whoever paid, we fight. ZRS yesterday? Allies tomorrow.
Like how MGR spelled it out, we need the War Economy, else how are we going to keep 700/1400/2100 Fed and equipped.

The way this has been handled in the game is very interesting in the grand scheme of things when it comes to MGS, too bad all Konami can think about is greed and ruining it with microtransactions.

FOB invasions are super intense holy shit. Just managed to go through the Event one with perfect stealth. Hopefully they keep making these generated FOBs since I don't really want to invade real people.

Yeah, you need to go rescue the prisoner first, I had to do that mission two or three times to get the objectives. Also annoying is that the
hiding space
changes every time.

I've extracted quite a few of them in my travels, but when I look at my roster on at Mother Base, the highest I ever see are A++. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Are you taking Boasters?

Apparently that strategy guide in the pic isn't released anywhere

Doing something like this is really the only way they could have kept something big hidden. And if this isn't bogus then they also made sure it wasn't in the game data and couldn't be data-mined.
 
Holy crap, this could be big. I'm going to be thoroughly impressed if something that secret surfaces.

EDIT: This could use a thread

If Houston and New York were in the game dataminers would've found that already.

If KojiPro wanted to hide something they would have taken that into account. If there is more content it will most likely be downloaded.

Datamining is afterall how Raiden was leaked for Playstation All Stars.
