You should be able to continue just by doing sideops.
Side ops? Are there any specific ones, or do I have to complete a certain amount?
Some bad game design forcing you to do these.
If you have any marked in yellow, do those; but otherwise you might have to do random ones until you trigger the next main mission.

I've bitched about the GMP (with nothing costly enough to spend it on) and resources (especially refined) caps but it's also kind of annoying how once you unlock security staff the waiting room is basically useless outside of needing a place to put people for a minute if you're trying to organize something. The 1400 staff cap with MB and the first FOB isn't enough with how many people you can extract in just one session. I'm removing A++ staff left and right since I don't like the game automatically removing staff. I'm pretty much stopping going out into the field (and not playing more than a couple minutes) until the next update adds the new items or getting another 140 or so coins to buy the second FOB. I kind of don't like being forced to grind and then later being punished for it.
Also lost a million GMP from one of the event rewards because of the cap.

General rule of thumb is that 3 side ops unlocks a main mission. Keep paying attention to yellow-marked missions and tapes, as listening to certain tapes is mandatory for unlocking a certain mission.

to each his own. but why bother swapping people out yourself1/ the game does a perfectly serviceable job on its own. i shudder at the thought of how much time i'd have to devote to this if the base management was anything like peace walker.
Thanks.
Tutorials would be helpful, for sure.
You didn't lose it, you still have it. You just have to get back online.
Unless something wrong happened besides that.

Yeah i've done all of the important side ops and listened to the tapes already.
Do combat deployments count?

A really, really good read.
Words That Kill, indeed. That tape where Code Talker talked about this subject really left me thinking.
Make sure to also read the response he posts from one of his readers. Heart breaking stuff.

While infiltrating the Command platform during this week FOB event ('New World Order'), I noticed that near the core entrance I could here someone say "he is late" (among other things I don't remember).
Unfortunately I never manage to reach the platform core without being in search/alert mode, so I could't really find out what it was about.
Did anyone else notice? Is there something more to it?
It sounds like there's an ally NPC near the area...

Counted it on my own. lol I don't think it's in Records.
If a guard is investigating something, sometimes he'll buddy up with another guard. If you take out one of the guards, the other will mutter things like '"he's late" or "whats taking him so long"

It doesn't take that long, I generally just remove my lowest ranked staff who also don't have a minimum A++ combat rating. I just like knowing who is getting the boot without the game doing it for me.
This has probably been mentioned a lot but it is worth being said many times more.
MGSV has godlike gameplay. The difference compared to other games not only of its genre is insane...
I have been playing the Witcher 3 once again due to the expansion, and while I adore W3 as a game and it is possibly my GOTY for 2015 so far, the difference in controls and overall gameplay enjoyment cannot be compared with MGSV.
I know what most people will say: "dude wtf has an RPG to do with a stealth action game?"
It is simple. I am talking about basic controls here. Take movement for example. After playing the entire W3 expansion for 15 hours or so, I came back today to play a few side ops in MGSV. And I was instantly hooked once again... The feeling of controling Venom is pure enjoyment whereas when trying to move Geralt (be it normal controls or alternate ones) feels like a chore. Geralt is moving erratically, its almost impossible to tip toe accurately in narrow passages, the response is god awful and there is no sense that you are controling a character rather than some automotive doll or something. It can be very frustrating just to navigate your character.
In comparison simply moving around with Venom is such a refined and great experience. I dont know how much work is needed to create such a perfect balance in terms of controls but MGSV really is as close to perfect as I have experienced (imho always).
Another example, even more apparent are the horses in these 2 games. Try the horse in W3 and then come back to try the horse in MGSV... the difference is huge, I honestly couldnt believe how bad the horse in W3 is, after MGSV...
So once again, kudos to KP for creating one of the most refined gameplay experiences I ever had. I can only describe in one word: sublime.

Ok, so beat Mission 46 last night.
Not going to spoil anything - but that was not done very well by Kojima Pro.
I mean - they didn't really make a big deal of it - just named it "Truth - Escape the hospital"
There were no different cuteness from the beginning and I ended up skipping most of them - and accidentally skipped the last (most important) cutscene after the car crash as well.
Didn't even feel like replaying it cause it was late - but then I see there are all these new cassette tapes explaining everything - I mean - why wasn't this shown in-game somehow - why trough cassette tapes?
Anyways - about to go beat all these other missions and finish episode 51 and see what happens, so be back later.
(too bad I already got spoiled on Quiet, fuck you youtube walkthrough comments)

This really can't be stated enough, MGSV is just on another level.
Well over a hundred hours played and I still enjoy just moving Venom around to look at the way he animates. Watching him enter and exit the crawl, diving, engaging in CQC, jumping off a vehicle in motion etc. never gets old. Still blows my mind how he fully animates all around while crawling and aiming in 3rd person, even crawling with one arm while holding the gun up.
Everything feels so right and responsive, all while exhibiting the proper sense of weight.
You sort of skipped the ending there, you may want to check it out on youtube if you don't want to replay the mission.

Yeah I looked at youtube - but going to replay just so I can experience it on my tv in full 1080p

Huh, I still seemed to be covered in blood even after disposing. Bummer
Well I probably had my Demon points at zero as I had caught all animals, I rarely kill anyone and fulton everytime someone is injured. You can't be that far from the treshold of losing the perma-blood if you have disposed your nuke.
Agreed. This is why you can get dozens of hours of enjoyment from Ground Zeroes even, gameplay is just amazing.
GreyOcelot

you could be 10s of thousands of demon points ahead of getting the blood away (you meaning anyone playing the game, not YOU). depends on how you've been playing.
mind went away after doing one side op run and fultoning every soldier and animal i saw. but if you've killed a lot of people and had a long horn going already. you'll probably need to grind away demon points to get the blood gone

It's pretty cool how Diamond Dog staff learn new languages from their peers over time... Put together a crappy little clip to show an example of it.

but still a cool detail.

it could actually make around Mission 23-29 harder lol

I know man it feels soooo good. I want every game to have MGSV's controls. I was playing the other day and I felt that this game would be fun as a platformer tbh. Running and jumping and diving is so fun.
And yeah every time I think of getting the witcher, i remember people saying the gameplay is garbage and the controls are bad so I think i'll pass for now.

They break something every patch. They're reaching Rockstar levels of patching proficiency. Three patches ago, the performance took a dip for me. Then with the next patch, it was stabilized. And after that, back to worse performance. Not to mention their incompetency with the DLC outfits (missing sneaking suit, footstep bug).

so I'm connected online but have no access to FOB stuff. is there some reason for this?

I'm so close too. Just gotta leave my PS4 on for another 28 or so hours to build a

The last patch raised the build time to 30 hours but it's now real-time and NOT game time, so no need to leave your console on.

Didn't know about the change to RT but the nuke time actually depends on one of your base ability levels, or used to. My first was 24hrs and second was 20.
You can sometimes have MB staff trying to learn others to speak English. Its a nice little touch, I think I encountered this dialogue 2-3 times while on MB.
Yeah I read that Demon point guide again and realized I miss read it. Disposing your nuke only takes away 1000points meaning there can be bunch of points left to take out.

woah, really? i'm 250 hours in and never heard this... i wonder if it was progress related or if it can occur any time.
i explore MB a lot too because I really love off-shore rigs, military architecture, ports and shipping, cranes, etc hahaha i've probably spent hours exploring almost every single week since release just because i like watching the waves below the strut bridges from the helicopters or the cranes operate above the rig towers and resource containers :O
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
Just finished the game. Think I've done most of the story stuff, though I don't think I've reached the end of the
storyline. How many
are there in total? I've done

What a masterpiece this game is. Definitely one of the best I've played in a long time. Some scenes towards the end were brilliant. Most of the best missions seemed to be in the first half of the game though. Looking forward to going back and trying to S rank missions. Is it important to complete all objective in all missions, does that unlock anything?

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.
