There is only one save slot in the game period, what you can buy is another avatar, however this avatar just resumes from the same save game.
You basically have to grind your way back up because resources aren't shared between.
Even if you delete your main avatar, the game save never gets replaced unless you manually remove it from the folder.

I'll agree that I think the potential is there for another Tactical Espionage Operations MGS. You don't need Kojima when they have the whole foundation for it, they basically just need to make and populate bases. You don't even need the crazy dynamic scenarios from the Phantom Pain because I'm willing to pay just to get more of that experience.
The gameplay was just that damn good.

There is 1 save slot. Just like many other games.
This is a character slot that you pay coins for. Just like you did in mgs5.

So, disregarding irrelevant semantics, you're basically paying for what is functionally a second save slot...

..... It's not semantics, did you just choose to ignore my post?

The one where you said we have to pay for a separate character that doesn't share resources with your other character? Sooo... essentially what any other game would just call a 2nd save slot?

You're being extremely dense on purpose.
Let me spell it out for you in a way you can comprehend.
THERE.IS.ONLY.1.SAVEGAME.REGARDLESS.OF.THE.AMOUNT.OF.AVATARS.
THIS.SLOT.CANNOT.BE.OVERWRITTEN.OR.DELETED.INGAME.
EVEN.IF.YOU.DELETE.ALL.YOUR.AVATARS.THE.SAVEGAME.DOES.NOT.RESET.
That should do the trick hopefully.

thats like saying overwatch doesnt have another save slot. why would you need one in overwatch? is what you're thinking? why do you need a second in metal gear lol

So can I cheat then? Make an avatar delete the save and consistently do this over and over?

Cheat in what way?
Deleting your avatar is functionally no different from creating a second one, you effectively can create a new avatar that way to grind your way back up.
But to be clear, this does not allow you to start the game "fresh". The only way to do that is to completely nuke the savefile from your system.

No I mean keep the avatar but nuke the savefile? Unless I don't get how this system works.

I'm actually not sure about this. I would suspect no?
The game saves 3 things the same way mgs5 did:
personal_data
ssd_config_data
ssd_game_data
The first seems to be avatar/mgo/online stuff
Second should be settings
And third would then be the save game; though I'm not sure if the game will allow you to start a null progress save with an established avatar.

So if progress is tied to avatars, what denotes a 'fresh' game? Story progression?

It's a 40 hour single player game with a coop mode on top.
avatar "progression" is just levels and gear.
This is why we need an OT..

I legitimately didn't understand what you were talking about. Considering how ridiculous and pointless such a "feature" is, can you blame me? What the hell is the point of making a new character if you can't restart the game? And why would you have to pay for that?

You guys who are blaming Kojima... Are you serious...?
How can you blame Kojima when it's obvious Konami rushed MGSV through the door because they are money hungry? Just look at Kojima's past. He not only released complete games, but also some of the most polished and Easter egg-filled games of our generations. I say this as someone who's not a big fan of MGS4.
And for you guys who want to use the ridiculous excuse of Kojima being unable to manage/budget a game, remember the report where the game made a ton of money about 2 days after release because it sold well? Now imagine if the game was actually finished instead of Konami meddling with the product.

This is the single greatest easter egg of all time.

I don't understand the Kojima hate either. In my opinion, MGSV was one of the top metal gear games. MGSIV was a bit of a different animal, however still a fantastic title. It certainly wasn't for everybody.

I did not like MGS V but i believe the game was rushed by konamy, not kojima foult there,
the new MGS is a slap in the face, and the hiden message is a clear factor of who the problem is with.
So using jim sterling words Fuck konami

Please explain.

There isn't much to explain. I loved MGS1-3 and hated 4-5... I felt they took both the gameplay and the narrative in a horrible direction...

I can understand your concern about the narrative, as it seemed confusing and convoluted at first, but what didn't you like about the gameplay?
BANGS

It just got too blended in with other shooters and lost all it's unique "metal gearness" IMO. Also the environments became alot more open(something that started with 3 that I didn't like but it was alot more toned down in that game). I really liked the gameplay of 1 and 2 best, with the top downish views, tight corridors, and radar. 3 was great but my least favorite of the three. My favorite parts of 3 were parts that felt more like the older games, such as when you disguise yourself as the scientist or Raikov...

I liked the tight corridors too, I feel like it made the stealth portion far more difficult. For me, overall, I just like open world games.

I'm pretty sick of open world games myself, and especially sick of games that traditionally fit into other genres being tacked on to an open world just because that's the trend now. The genre is just so over saturated. It's ruining series I used to like for me, like MGS, Zelda, Tony Hawk, etc...

I agree with you that MGS5's narrative was awful, but i think it was a rushed game. Gameplay was excellent, but the plot twist was a little too much.
