I'm kind of surprised Kaz needs that crutch. He seems to have his knee so walking shouldn't be that much of a problem with a prosthetic.

Mission 31 spoilers: [sp]GOD FUCKING DAMN IT SNAKE WHY ARE YOU SO RETARDED, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU OPEN UP THE CANISTER OF THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BIOLOGICAL WEAPON THEN JUST THROW THEM AWAY RANDOMLY[/sp]

i just finished missions [sp]45 and 46[/sp] earlier today [sp]this game is slowly fucking me up and decaying my ability to think straight. help.[/sp]

To people wanting the ability to play more missions with Subsistence on. It's not hard to go very light on missions and force yourself not use your weapons until you steal someone else's. I'm trying to remember which mission would be impossible to finish on Subsistence and I can't really think of an example. Some missions would be hard as fuck but technically not impossible. Well, maybe missions 11 and 29 and their extreme versions.

Play as dad man and use stealth camo so you can see what is in his head.

[QUOTE=RikohZX;48802652]It's a major problem with the chronology, really. MGS3 goes into Portable Ops about six years later story-wise, then the San Hieronymo Incident occurs and is ultimately resolved by Snake and his newly-formed forces [sp]as Ocelot talks to Zero at the very end to bring up the formation of the Patriots, but only so long as Big Boss is a part of them too.[/sp] MGS4 both expected players to play PO because of the plot twist reveal at the very end, and yet simultaneously summarized it in a blunt and blank manner that just sort of comes out of left field for everyone else who didn't play PO, which didn't help with the controversy over the whole reveal being exposition bombed onto the players. Then Peace Walker takes place after PO, gives a single off-handed mention from Kaz, and then [i]tries its best[/i] to hide and contain the twist and other factors, and although there's small hints from Snake's denials, the game pretty much acts like none of it happened - which is dumb, because the game still kind of expects you to know this since the whole Cipher thing is so obvious - while the Patriots start being called Cipher instead. Then we learn that Cipher isn't just [sp]a title for Zero[/sp] but literally the real name of the Patriots' organization in TPP, and the Patriots itself as the term we know was really [sp]the title for the AI system[/sp] in a blatant retcon of MGS3. [editline]1st October 2015[/editline] Meanwhile in terms of the chronological stuff, Ocelot literally disappeared after MGS3 to appear in PO, and then disappeared again for fourteen years to appear in TPP and it's clear by the voice direction and way Ocelot acts in MGSV that it was basically for fanservice.[/QUOTE] This clusterfuck makes me really just disengage from MGS's story as a whole. I only ever really cared about Big Boss, and I [I]really[/I] didn't follow MGS2, and with MGSV I'm inclined to believe that I was supposed to care about the convoluted as fuck superspy story arc much more than the character.

[QUOTE=diwako;48803964]Increase your heroism.[/QUOTE] I've got 1178900 so it won't be the cause, it seems game doesn't register that you got the person if it is so shit it can't get to the point where it gets added to your base so it will recycle it until you kick your S personnel to make room for D daddy.

I deployed with some DD soldier, but it might be that his stats are random.

Oh hey! I stole my first nuke! :toot: [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17691911/Im_nuclear.jpg[/IMG] So how long does it take for me to get it? It's about 3 hours right?

[editline]1st October 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Crimor;48804089]Just clean out your waiting room.[/QUOTE] My waiting room is literally empty because this game has been made badly so you can't fill every unit if you have your mother base and FOB fully upgraded, population cap too small.

Also anyone have any tips for FOB's? I know that decoys and stun shotguns rock, but anything else I should know?

[QUOTE=Jays2Kings;48799861]I'm not sure if it's been asked but: [sp]How isn't Snake affected by the parasite mist like the other soldiers?[/sp][/QUOTE] Parasite mist doesn't actually do anything to you. It's just water. The other soldiers were taken control of by Skulls directly, this is shown during the Code Talker extraction when the helicopter crashes. You can clearly see one of the Skull troopers "throwing his skin" at the CFA soldier. After he walks into view of the camera, you can see that he looks like he's missing his skin, then he grows it back or something and activates his armor suit.

I tried an FOB invasion it was horrible, not fun, and I'm never doing it again why does this game become the opposite of fun

[QUOTE=diwako;48803964]Increase your heroism.[/QUOTE] This has been proven to not do anything for extractions. There's an RNG for S rank that increases % based off the total combined skill levels of your current MB

Code names are based off last 3 missions

Kojima, you bastard, a truly magnificent one.
