The LBP MGS4 story pack never got the love it should have. That thing was funny.

Spoiler

Liquids master plan was a machine that would flood the little big planet with levels that gave people easy trophies so people would like him!

Lmao, that's meta considering there were TONS of levels that did just that.

I don't feel bad at all for the people who were crying about MGS4 cutscenes, and now crying about having little. Kojima listened, now accept what you wanted lol. Be careful what you wish for...

Pretty much, I haven't mind the cutscene-gameplay ratio so far, and I've tried to do and upgrade stuff before tackling the main missions.

Also, I've realized that

Spoiler

diamonds and resources do respawn after some time (a long time though)

 

[artsi]

Is there much point in using other people?

I don't have TPP yet, I just took that screen in Arma 3, lol.

I don't think this hypothetical flip-flopper exists, dude. I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but I was certainly not one of the ones complaining about MGS4's cutscene length, and I have a major problem with how few there seem to be in MGSV comparatively.

 

[Vital Tundra]

While Snake pretty much has max stats, he doesn't have special abilities like other soldiers do.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

no spoilers needed on specifics but are there boss battles in the game and do they live up to the prior games?

Regarding Quiet...

Spoiler

I tranq'd and brought her back to base after her fight, and they stuck her in the Brig. I've had one cutscene where she tried to go on a mission with me but she was told no. That was a lot of main and side op missions ago and she's still just chilling in the brig. When does she unlock to use as a buddy, or do I need to do something? I've already completed the first Africa main op as a rough guide to where I am.

Much better than PW, like 100x times better. Up there with other previous MGS games? Still hard to say, maybe better than 4(with a few exceptions mainly

Spoiler

the rex vs ray and final fist fight, nothing will top those for me.

) but I am really enjoying them so far.

Anything similar to, or even topping "The End" from MGS3?

Also,

Spoiler

when you fight the 8 SKULLS, is it one at a time and do they each have special abilities

?

So many spoiler tags in a spoiler free thread.

After a main Op Ocelot will want you to come to her cell.It will be considered a Side Op .After it plays out she will be available

 

[Afrodium]

Why would there be civilians in a Afghan desert territory occupied by bad people?

Dude, you're literally describing real-life Afghanistan

Yeah...

 

[Pics_nao]

Got the game today and finished 3 missions. Holy fuck this game is incredible.

 

[nOoblet16]

I suggest that this topic be changed to MGS marked spoiler discussion thread or something.

The reason being if I want to ask questions regarding the game or talk about anything more than my impressions (so story and stuff) I will have to go into that other thread which is full of unmarked spoiler from people who are much ahead of me in the game.

So this is the only place where I can discuss things without the rest of the game being spoiled...if we do discussion with marked spoilers (after all that's what spoiler tags are for and barely anyone uses them in the other thread). Beside we are already doing that in this thread to some extent.

Anyone else agrees with me?

 

[Savantcore]

Is there a quicker way to travel across the map? I don't fancy travelling 2000m but also don't want to sit through loading screens as I go back to the chopper and redeploy.

 

[nOoblet16]

Have you checked the other thread? It's full of unmarked spoilers because that's a spoiler thread. I don't wanna talk about anything there because I know if I go there the content that lies ahead of me will get spoiled. I went into the thread the first time and the mystery surrounding Quiet immediately got spoiled as it was the first post of the page !

The entire purpose of spoiler tag is so that you can talk about those things while having them marked so why would you bother highlighting a spoiler if it's not from a point you have already been through ?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

if only there was an OT for people to discuss the game with marked spoilers

hmm what an idea

nah lets just let people make half a dozen MGS threads for various purposes instead

 

[Lucid07]

I don't have TPP yet, I just took that screen in Arma 3, lol.

Oh right, that'll be why, lol.

While Snake pretty much has max stats, he doesn't have special abilities like other soldiers do.

Ahh good point.

How the hell am I meant to do this stupid "extract the wandering mother base soldiers" side op?

 

[Lucid07]

How the hell am I meant to do this stupid "extract the wandering mother base soldiers" side op?

The first one I tranqed the second I managed to cqc

 

[Juicy Bob]

Some of these missions are taking me bloody ages.

Which isn't a problem in itself, but it's getting a little boring for my girlfriend who just wants to know what happens next in the story.

 

[nOoblet16]

I just did that, Tranq headshot. If you try to CQC then they might hit you back and you get knocked out.

The worst ones are the missions that ask you to go to multiple locations to fetch things/kill targets.

 

[Broken Joystick]

I feel like I've spent days playing this already and I've hardly scratched the surface. Controls are just so tight and good when you've mastered them. I'm doing my best to remain undetected and complete missions completely stealth, and it's proving tough.


And I am feeling ashamed of my words and deeds.

 

[Nzyme32]

This spoiler free thread is not really spoiler free anymore

 

[Alienous]

I just saw a scene that had to of set women in gaming back 15 years.

It is literally Kojima's essence in a cutscene.

 

[Punished_Snake]

I have been playing like crazy (more than 25 hours now) and so far it is one of the best games I have ever played. The game combine many great elements, but what really standout is the mission/level design/layout. So many great gameplay moments, there is a mission that took me three hours to complete and I got A rank after completing it, you will really feel you are big boss while playing. The three hours were intense and the game rewards you if you explore the areas. Fultonning soldiers, building motherbase, unlocking new gear, abilities, tools and others are satisfying. Im playing a side op right now and it is better than the best missions in other stealth games. The branched level design and the freedom of how to tackle the missions are praise worthy.

Can you not post stuff like this, or if you do, put it in tags?


This shit is getting out of hand in here.

 

[Alienous]

Take it to the spoiler thread?

Wtf is wrong with some of you people?

Nope, sorry, that's my impression and it is not a spoiler.

How many diarrhea jokes have been counted so far? I'm hoping a number closer to Zero than Omega.

You underestimate the stupidity of people these days. Comprehending what "spoiler free" actually means is simply asking too much of them.

[nOoblet16]

What is spoiler about that? That's an opinion.

It's very unreasonable to call that one out specifically as there is nothing spoilery about it. Suggestive of the content you say, that's complaining for the same of it honestly, like someone said oh I was grossed out by the gore once...when we know for a fact that the game is dark and gritty. It tells you nothing about when it will happen or what will happen, just tells you something you already know and yet that's somehow a spoiler.

With that logic even mentioning things like "the world feels a bit empty" is a spoiler too.

Also I asked a question previously, what if I want to discuss something about the game or talk about somethings that I have gone through but don't wanna get the game spoiled for me? Because the spoiler thread is full of unmarked spoilers from people near the end or at midpoint etc. This is why I suggest a topic name change so that people who want to have discussion with marked spoiler can do so if they wish. That's the point of marked spoilers...you don't highlight it if you don't wanna be spoiled.

 

[Alienous]

And yet, it tells me absolutely nothing about the game but is suggestive of its content and delivery.

So ... a spoiler-free impression?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Anyone know where to find tranq ammo in the first area? I've taken a few outposts and found none.

Why should you post it here? It's a SPOILERS FREE impression thread.

edit: This is the precise reason why limiting OTs to 24 hours before release sucks.

lmao thread is hilarious right now. Got dudes peaking behind their hands at shit.

It's not spoiler free. Don't know why you cant just put a tag on it.

That's literally just an impression, aka the point of the thread. He gave no details as to what the scene actually entailed.

He implied plenty about the scene given a certain conversation about the game, even without context. No excuse to not at least tag it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

just saw a cutscene with some dudes talking and there was a fire

it was cool, no spoilers

 

[Audioboxer]

I've just unlocked Africa. Been amazing so far.

I really can't get into Jack Bauer voicing Snake though. Not to start a big debate about Hayter, but I'm really not feeling Jacks voice acting.

 

[Marvel]

I now have DD. Life complete.

 

[Taruranto]

Speaking of open-world annoyances, I'm kinda annoyed that you are often rail-roaded into what are basically canyons, you can't really "climp" the mountains and in order to move around you have either to use the horse and take the loooong road or summon the helicopter which it's a pain the the butt, bleah.

Mother-Base is pretty boring so far, yeah. Can't even find Ocelot/Kaz moving around.

 

[Ame]

Anyone know where to find tranq ammo in the first area? I've taken a few outposts and found none.

I've found ammo in many areas, but never tranq ammo. I've just resorted to calling in ammo drops.

 

[nOoblet16]

Do you know when the scene takes place? Do you know who it involves? Do you know what happens? Do you know the context ? Nope.

It's like if someone said (for example) "Man some scenes in this game grossed me out" when everyone knows that this game will be dark and gritty especially after playing Ground Zeroes.


For all you know it could be something inconsequential as a soldier peeking on quiet as she is taking a shower in mother base. Because that's just his impression of what he thought of the scene...you don't know if you'd even react the same way.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I've found ammo in many areas, but never tranq ammo. I've just resorted to calling in ammo drops.

Oh OK, guess it doesn't make much sense for anyone else to be carrying it anyway.

How many episodes (missions) till Africa unlocks?
Spoiler tag the answer, just in case.
