Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain

[Walker]

Did you find the prisoner? He marks on the map exactly where it is.

[Benji]

Yeah got the prisoner and extracted him no problem, it's finding my way through the caverns to the Honeybee/marker I can't seem to do.

DISREGARD MY LACK OF COORDINATION LAST TIME I WAS IN THIS THREAD.

DISREGARD MY HAMFINGERS' LACK OF COORDINATION.

 

As much as I hate to say it - after making it to Africa are a lot of people finding the game really friggin' repetitive? I haven't touched it in a couple of days and I just want to finish the story now at this point.

ANYWAY, heard that a sizable portion of stuff was cut from release. Could be why. 

[9 to 5]

Bloody Benji, I will do for you if you want.

It is a bit awkward to find true but not that bad.

 

Btw who is actually interested in this when it goes online for the long run?

[Benji]

I'll figure it. It probably didn't help that I'd been playing that and Until Dawn all day yesterday and was tired out. I'll look at it with fresh eyes tonight.

And yuss, I'm up for it of course.

[Avenged Probably]

If you go back the way you enter there's a turning somewhere that goes underground... If you reach the water your almost there.

[Benji]

Ah that's probably where I'm going wrong, I basically kept going up because that's where all the paths seemed to lead, assuming it was somewhere up top.

Loving this so far. Only done the first three main missions, and the first side op, but I keep going back trying to do the optional mission tasks and get S ranks... just so much fun so far.

[Benji]

Speaking of S rank, is there any way to see what the optional requirements are before you complete it for the first time?

[Lint]

No there isn't.  Just have to be lucky and get them by accident

[Benji]

Bah, suppose I'll just have to keep interrogating and hope it gets me what I need.

[apsham]

There's a map of it in the game box, Forky.

Just a heads up

There is a bug that can corrupt the save file. The issue occurs if you bring Quiet on two specific missions. To avoid any chance of save corruption, do not bring Quiet on Mission 29 or Mission 42. The issue affects all versions of the game - PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

They are currently working on a patch.

An update for this, the bug has been patched for PC and PS4, other versions should be getting patches soon

I spend far too much time just pissing about and doing side ops/just taking over outposts for shits and giggles. Which is a good thing as it means I really enjoy the game in that I can spend hours doing literally nothing and not realise how long I have been on it.

I've only done the first four/five missions and done quite a few side ops. Done 2/3 of the target shooting missions back at mother base. All I need is a day/night of just doing nothing but Metal Gear.

[Benji]

Two quick questions - do I always have to use a supply drop for more tranqs, and is there any way to fast forward to night during a mission (not just at the start)?

[apsham]

1. The ammo drops yeah, are the only reliable way to really get more ammo. You can find some in camps and stuff but really - the drops are a much more effective way to get any of your stuff resupplied. Tops up your silencers too so you might as well get used to them.

2. The Phantom Cigar time skips.

[Benji]

You're a star   I was swearing to myself that I saw someone do the time skip in a video and since I couldn't see a menu option for it I thought they must just have forwarded the actual video.

[apsham]

After mission 26...

 

This quarantine thing is killing me. I know the link, but I have THREE options.

I'm also getting really annoyed at the credits as they roll into the game. I really don't like it because it entirely gives away what's going to happen in some cases. It's just not needed. 

[Draevyn]

There's a map of it in the game box, Forky.

A map of what?

[Ruki]

Before the mission? Totally not needed. Although I'd be ok with it if it only mentioned people you knew were gonna be there....not the surprises like the Skulls
