Hero-of-Time Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Was up way too late last night playing this. But just couldn't stop! Had the most epic... ...sniper battle against Quiet! :awesome: Very similar to the fight against The End on MGS3, but much cooler. Anyway, she's now back at Mother Base and should soon be available as a mission buddy. Yeah, I keep having late nights because of the game. The lack of sleep is really gonna hit me at some point. Loved that mission. It took a while but it was very satisfying. I read a hilarious way of beating the mission really fast. Tag her and then order a supply drop to land on her head. It takes half of her stamina off. I haven't tried it myself but it should making getting a S rank on that stage very easy. You ever hit your horse by accident? I kept running and diving into it, instead of mounting. Miller didn't seem happy with my tomfoolery.
RedShell Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah, I keep having late nights because of the game. The lack of sleep is really gonna hit me at some point. Loved that mission.

I haven't tried it myself but it should making getting a S rank on that stage very easy.I actually tried that! But she ran away just before it hit her! Perhaps another example of the game learning from what you do, as I'd been doing this a lot beforehand on soldiers. You ever hit your horse by accident? I kept running and diving into it, instead of mounting. Miller didn't seem happy with my tomfoolery. One time, yeah. Was really worried that I'd killed it.
Happenstance Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I'm hoping to unlock a traq sniper. It would come in real handy for some of the missions. It'll be a while before you unlock a helpful one. I spent ages working on getting one for me and one for Quiet to use out in the field but the early ones dont have suppressors on yet so they can still be heard
Hero-of-Time Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 It'll be a while before you unlock a helpful one. I spent ages working on getting one for me and one for Quiet to use out in the field but the early ones dont have suppressors on yet so they can still be heard I've got a normal sniper with a silencer on it but I try not to kill people, hence me wanting the traq version.
Happenstance Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I've got a normal sniper with a silencer on it but I try not to kill people, hence me wanting the traq version. Yeah I know. Im just saying that the tranq rifle that actually has a silencer is further down the research tree than the normal sniper rifle was. The early ones you unlock are loud so it takes a while to get.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah I know. Im just saying that the tranq rifle that actually has a silencer is further down the research tree than the normal sniper rifle was. The early ones you unlock are loud so it takes a while to get. Ah. I thought you were talking about sniper rifles in general.
Jimbob Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Just did some reading, i need to go back and find that young puppy wandering around the area and extract it.
martinist Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Does anyone know when I can research tranq rifles in R&D? all the rifiles I can research so far all do fatal damage. The only tranq wepon I have at the moment is the pistol you start out with which I upgraded once.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 Just uploaded my GZ save and got a gold arm, sneaking suit and MGS1 skin. Not happy with the loading that happens when opening your map/inventory etc. when connected to the servers. I've disconnected my game from them for now.

The only tranq wepon I have at the moment is the pistol you start out with which I upgraded once. You just have to scroll through to the Sniper Rifle section and find out the requirements. We cant really tell you when you can get them because it all depends on the materials you have and the level of your teams. If I remember right the very first Tranq rifle needs R&D and Medical to both be level 15.
Cookyman Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 The ending of that actually reduced me to tears. So sad. What a lovely video - genuinely emotional.
Happenstance Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I think I might just carry on playing in offline mode. My FOB just got attacked so I went back to defend, got knocked out of the session and then lost a load of men etc. Not exactly fair and if its made so that can happen I'd rather just not do it, at least not until I complete the story.

Yeah, I thought this kind of thing may happen. That's another reason why I disconnected from servers.
MadDog Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Can someone who has never played a MGS game before enjoy this?
MadDog Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Ofcourse. Its a great game. Story wise, wouldn't I be completely lost? Is it like the witcher? I never played any of them before, but I still loved it.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Story wise, wouldn't I be completely lost? Is it like the witcher? I never played any of them before, but I still loved it. Yeah, you could be a little lost. Did you download Ground Zeroes when it was on PS+? That does a decent job of filling you in on the story so far and then the end of that leads into this game. To be honest, I think it's worth playing just for the gameplay. It's absolutely amazing when Kojima and co. have pulled off with this game. There's so much to do and so many different ways to do it. I woke up at 5am this morning and instead of just rolling over for another hour and a half I just slapped this on. I can't help myself. I've got to the point now where i'm nicking anything that isn't tied down. People, animals, cars, trucks, tanks, containers, they all get a balloon tied to them and get sent to my base. I think I have around 40 side missions done and up to mission 17 in the main ones. I also scraped enough materials together to upgrade my R&D to level 3 on Mother Base. Hopefully this will give me some more weapons and items to play with.

To be honest, I think it's worth playing just for the gameplay.Yeah, I agree. As someone that has no interest in the story whatsoever, I can confirm that the game is still incredibly entertaining. And this is also coming from someone who traditionally hates the stealth genre! I'm 20+ hours into it now, and only at 13% completion. So yeah, the game is also bloody huge. :awesome: I've got to the point now where i'm nicking anything that isn't tied down. People, animals, cars, trucks, tanks, containers, they all get a balloon tied to them and get sent to my base. Hehehe. I think I'm a bit too picky when it comes to extracting soldiers since upgrading the binoculars. If they don't have good stats, they ain't coming back. All animals are welcome though, gotta fill up my zoo! Speaking of which, look what I found the other day.... ...a cassette tape inside a turd!: Better still, it was just a recording of goat noises.
drahkon Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Haven't played for 36hours. Currently sitting at university and waiting for the Polymerase chain reaction to finish...1 1/2 hours of sitting around doing nothing. I want to play Have to do some work at home later today -.- but I have a couple of days for that so I'll spread that out Can't wait to get home and plaaayyy.

I think i'll be coming off the servers if this happens, doesn't sound remotely fair.
Agent Gibbs Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 is it just me or is the iDroid very slow to load up the motherbase section if you are online? I spent hours last night completing GZ to an acceptable standard to upload, went onto Phantom Pain downloaded my GZ save, got jack shit other than the option to get the stealth suit/snake suit and when it finally logged into the servers the iDroid was painfully slow loading anything up Online elements of this game seem utterly annoying until they've fixed these server issues

I've been playing the game for a week now and the idroid was always really quick to load. Finally connected to the servers last night and it started taking ages.

I instantly disconnected from the servers and everything ran as it should.
martinist Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Same thing happened to me on Tuesday, took around 3 or 4 minutes to load the iDroid where as on Monday when I wasn't connected to the servers it came up in a second or so.
Shorty Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I've got MGS2, never finished, MGS3, never played, and MGS4, played 15 mins. Should I try and plough through them all for the story's sake before getting this? Was thinking of a guide to make some progress on MGS2, since I found it a bit irritatingly clunky. I got to the point where you don't have a radar and the camera is zoomed right in, top down view, so you can't see enemies on the other side of the room even though you clearly would be able to see them >____>
Daft Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Most the time I thin the story is so fucking convoluted that that playing the other games doesn't matter. Thank god the other half is obsessed with MGS because I just sit there playing it going 'Who's that?', 'What are they talking about?', 'Why am I here?' It becomes mildly existential. Basically, I think you might as well watch story recaps on YouTube. And play MGS3 because it a bloody brilliant game with one of – if not the best – video game endings ever.
