Are you confused? If you blew up the truck the mission ends.

Hmmm, ok then I must've stopped it in some non-lethal way. Probably just parked a jeep or horse in front of the road and threw a smoke bomb. Don't remember exactly. But I remember I didn't fulton it before the skulls guys came out, I fulton'd it after and then hightailed it to the helicopter.

Oh, I probably threw a smoke grenade first. They can't see through the smoke.

Apparently on the Sahelantropus fight the little kid is supposed to show up during the reflex at the end, but in my game he never shows up so I die EVERY SINGLE TIME. Going to try a few side ops and see if the bug is fixed, otherwise this game is

Sahelantropus should be jumping at you for the kid to be in the reflex mode. This should be during the second half after the "Golden Archea"/rust attack.

Steve Contra · « **Reply #667 on:** October 16, 2015, 07:50:49 PM »

It fixed it. The thing is he'd jump in, trigger reflex mode but it'd just be the robot, it wouldn't load in the model. I must have died 15 times trying to figure out what I was supposed to do.

If you hit the kid while Sahalanthropus is jumping at you in slow mo you satisfy one of the optional mission requirements, but I don't think you have to actually hit the kid to beat the Sahalanthropus. Just wittle down his HP.

Mission 46

Now you know the backlash.

I got nothing against that twist, but it really doesn't fit the timeline. Retcons on retcons on retcons. Per the norm with Kojima.

nachobro · « **Reply #672 on:** October 18, 2015, 12:52:14 AM »

Well it makes metal gear 1 and 2 make a little more sense, as well as some things throughout 5.

But still...wat

still need to get the rest of the mb soldiers and finish quiet's thing, but i'm actually not super mad at the ending. i've gotten 115 hours out of the game so i'm pleased with it overall.

Kara · « **Reply #673 on:** October 18, 2015, 02:15:34 AM »

Copy game today.

Can finally complete the journey.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #674 on:** October 18, 2015, 05:08:01 AM »

Well I doubt the backlash against the game is soley directed at the twist and not just the overall lack/bad story, repetitive mission design, structure, open world use, and lack of MGS Personality.

But yeah that retcon is possibly one of the worst retcons in that it was really unnecessary and fucks up things just as much as it supposedly makes sense of things, these things being thigns that did'nt need to be made sense of.

Even if it explains why in MG1 Big Boss sent Snake to kill well Big Boss. It can already be rationalized as well Big Boss never expected him to succeed anyway and him fighting Snake is his plan gone awry. Also MG1 especially exists in canon only as a reference point. It's connection with the overall MGS series really doesn't fit and MGS can easily pick and chose whatever it wants. It's best to think of the events of MG1 and even 2 only in how the MGS games chose to use them. MG2 is a little bit better as it really does closer fit the MGS series.

I guess it explains how Big Boss survives, but again MG1 doesn't say he died and well this did'nt need an explanation anyway. It's MG, dude just did'nt die. He apparently did'nt even die in MG2 so who cares. None of this needs an explanation.

It's a strange retcon, because I'm not sure what it's actually supposed to do.

was a slick mission. Not something I'd replay over and over and over, but the way it was "framed"/set-up was pretty good, IMO.

Looks like I've done all the side ops possible before beating the final mission, and I've also beaten all the extra challenging missions... collecting the last few animals and then I'll remove the Butterfly emblem and go for it.

Make sure you have a strong rocket launcher for that mission and the highest Battle Gear you have. Trust me.

I've completely fallen off this game. Haven't touched it in like 2 weeks. The recent shit Konami did with the FOB stuff and offline resources has really soured me on it. I was already feeling pretty down on it.

thanks for the tip. i'm still finishing up side-ops but ill put gmp into that launcher that shoots a bunch of rockets at once or w/e. is battle gear the fat suit or did you mean d-walker?

Ignoring all the stupid shit in Mission 46, not having the Kingdom of the Flies mission is robbery. If they release that later as DLC...

Gameplay is (mostly) extraordinary, but man what a shitty note to end the series on.

It was 31% done. Kojima's contract ends in December. He left this week "on vacation" unless Konami mandates them to do that mission (which won't really end much, it'll just lead to another cliff-hanger. "IT'S NOT OVER YET!!!") it's not gonna happen. Just like Chapter 3's titlecard is there but they rearranged missions around to get this out the door because Konami fucked them over severely.

I say the ending isn't the one that Kojima had in mind per-se. The twist? Yeah, that's in mind. But the actual ending point? Nahhhh, I think there was still more he wanted to do in regards to the overall bigger picture. Double so with the fact that the child soldiers basically go nowhere in game when they were hinted to be used by Venom in the trailers.

Bebpo · « **Reply #686 on:** October 22, 2015, 02:48:36 AM »

Lord of the flies thing doesn't even matter in the scheme of things (plus it's really dumb by that youtube video). Nothing matters. It's all stupid nothing nonsense with great gameplay. Even if Kojima had 10 more years on the game, I don't know if it'd be any better storywise. Though maybe at least we'd get a nice full size 3rd location with some snow or something to play in.

Also not being able to use Battle Gear was really dumb. "It was too powerful" boohoo, you're building a freaking metal gear. Let us use the damn thing.

El Babua · « **Reply #687 on:** October 22, 2015, 04:42:55 AM »

The mechanics and gameplay available is fantastic, but it could have been laid out better. Lack of objective variety and samey level design does where thin.

Might have preferred a Ground Zeroes/Chaos Theory type game with the large mission areas and focus on infiltration Phantom Pain has.

It's par for the game as far as execution of the unfinished cutscenes go, but

spoiler (click to show/hide)

the whole Liquid / Psycho / kids storyline just disappears without that mission. I get that we can connect the pieces of what happened to Liquid, but still: new area, big battle between Cipher / DD / Liquid is at least some kind of ending, whereas the current "ending" is just a replay of the first mission with 20-30s of difference and a few tapes.

In better news, the game flips for $40 at BB with GCU.

Nope, would've taken dev time to make sure the correct items/weapons needed were available in the map area so you'd be able to complete them. Instead you get...one mission.

I really liked the one that's in there too fwiw. I miss the old games and Ground Zeroes where you pick up items as you go.

Ran through Ground Zeroes one more time before firing this up. The limited flavor is much better after finishing Walker of Peace. Paz going from yandere in a Metal Gear to broken murder bomber.

tiesto · « **Reply #697 on:** November 02, 2015, 02:23:31 PM »

Finally beat it... loved the basic gameplay but the whole pacing and narrative structure was an absolute disaster. Not sure where it ranks in the echelon of the series, this is one of those titles that feel too packed with content but at the same time, incomplete. Less 'filler' missions, an actual finished storyline, none of that FOB fuckery, and removal of the whole 'open world' structure would have made this a much more appealing title.

She was until this patch. Konami listened to fans.
