This franchise are one of those rare games that are both game changer and a masterpiece. I know it was not a finished game but at least we got to experience a game full of hidden meanings and it's up to us to interpret those. I wish it will be finished by Kojima or someone like him someday. And to those new to the series don't let the dated graphics discourage you from playing the old titles since each of them are masterpieces except for the abomination metal gear survive. Not directed by Kojima so skip that crap.

@@inyourwifesas1033 the reason it was hated because it took a different direction from what the franchise was and then as time passed by everyone understood the hidden messages on it despite of it being incomplete. Think of it as blade runner it was hated and then became a cult classic. Game is a sandbox yes, it is but it is a sandbox to try out different mechanics like hitman, skyrim, fallout and more. A ton of people think it's boring because once they achieved on overcoming a stage or level they tend to not try another method. If you are one of those who can decipher an art with its hidden messages then it is very intellectual how it was constructed. Try the movie 1408 watching it is an average movie but it was hidden with tons of clues of how much the number 13 and 14 that was implemented on it starting from when it was released. Search on KZbin people made videos about it. A misunderstood masterpiece.

@@inyourwifesas1033 I am glad you do, but mgsv is still considered one of the best on the stealth genre. The thing with hitman it's fun but it doesn't have that aspect of starting to care for the characters. Mgs always had that. Any games that could touch your emotions it will be most likely to be better because you begin to care and invest on them. Hitman is a playground for our creative kills but it barely has story on it. Also hitman had a kinda pay to win aspect to it by its expansions having the overpowered gadgets to acquire. Having the emp and explosive phone (lure the target to secluded or have them pick it up) and the best rifle from hitman 1 imported breaks the game.

Either you use a mod for pc to make all the rankings go up as you capture or you grind events or invade other people if done stealth fully they can't attack you back but if you get caught they can invade you as well.

Get additional FOBs. Capture S+ and S++ soldiers from other players' FOBs or purchase them with the points you accrue from the online simulated battles (takes a long time). If you want those higher levels, you're gonna have to grind (or have a good chunk of real world cash to throw away on additional FOBs).

That's kinda pushing you to use more mb coins or real money to do it faster.

You can also ram him off the cliff. The best way I've found to take him down is to get him to knock down the water tower for you (make sure he's on the other side, and when he fires a projectile at you, it will hit the water tower instead). This will stun him, and the floating boy will appear. Make sure to mark the man on fire, and when the boy appears, order a supply drop on his head. This will land instantly, stunning the boy. Then fulton the Man on Fire (yes, I said fulton him). He'll break the cord so you won't actually extract him, but it will end the boss fight by removing him from the battlefield. This will also fulfill the objective "Hit the Floating Boy with an attack".

So, did Venom Snake remain loyal to Big Boss? I thought Miller was going to have Venom and Big Boss's two sons 'send Big Boss to hell'? Also, really wish there was more to Mother Base in this game. It was cool, but it felt so... background-ish. There was never really a reason to return between missions outside of experiencing specific cutscenes, or just to do it. It would have been cool if you could have done stuff with your soldiers, explored the interiors, interacted with Ocelot, Huey, Kaz, the children, and more. It would have been cool if Mother Base was more alive as well, with more soldiers, helicopters and vehicles flying and driving throughout the base, and so much more they could have done.

[@mr.battle20]

Did you do the Paz subplot where she shows up on the Medical platform? Gives you a reason to go there beyond visiting Quiet. But yeah, I agree, Mother Base seems like kind of a letdown. So much potential wasted. Big Boss's two sons. Solid and Liquid. Venom doesn't factor into it. He remained loyal to Big Boss to the very end.

[@ghostranger5890]

@@mr.battle20Yeah, and it was a fun surprise to stumble upon; getting to see Paz after GZ was pretty cool. It really was a terrible disappointment that even the simple stuff from the first Mother Base Gameplay never showed up. Stuff like that, though small, is part of the reason MGSV had been me hyped to play it; being able to really get involved in building living, Breathing private army was an awesome prospect.

[@MGrey-qb5xz]

i'm assuming this is the pc version cause graphics look way better then what i got on my xbox one

[@all-stargamingentertainmen1157]

You can get Kaz out by putting him on the horse...waiting....get past them then get a vehicle.

[@ericb3157]

#4 IF you upgrade the Water Pistol to level 3, it will take about 50 shots to take down the "man on fire", BUT that's actually EASIER than it sounds, since Snake will fire VERY quickly if you hold down the Fire button! you'll have to reload twice... oh, and i once saw a funny video where someone "held up" and enemy an made him surrender and lie down by pointing the Water Pistol at him! then squirted him while he was lying down! #11 i heard that IF you knock out the nearby Radar building first, you can START that mission with the Helicopter RIGHT by that base, and use it's guns to take out the objective VERY quickly!

[@zain1smith]

Konami should make the free update of this game for the next gen console!

[@paulcaridi4964]

When I play story games, I play all of then before going to a new franchise to not confuse the story. When I played Twin Snakes to start the series, I thought Metal Gear was for Call of Duty kids who thought they were cool. I'm not sure I've been more wrong about anything before.

[@malik87breaker]

Sounds interesting. You should play the msx games too. If you like the lore.

[@brandonsalisbury7182]

I’m a an old school mgs fan so honestly mgs5 was kind of disappointing. The gameplay was amazing but no unique bosses to fight and the story (or lack of) was just underwhelming when compared to older games. Still worth a play tho.

[@LargeInCharge77]

Most disappointing game for me ever. I was so hyped and i tried to squeeze everything i could out if this game, but at some point i realized all there was to the game was dicking around in the sandbox and god is that a low bar for this series

[@brandonsalisbury7182]

@@LargeInCharge77 Tell me about it I was literally following its release day after day. The trailers alone were nothing short of masterpieces so no way the game could be anything less…….but it was. I remember trying to trick myself into believing it was great just needed a few hours to start getting good but after 40 hours in nothing really changed just same old mission after the next. I agree it was my personal biggest disappointment for a video game and honestly I don’t even know why I said it’s worth a play still because it’s actually not.

[@0Firebrander]

Finally! I believe this is the first video I see that mention the flashback "theory" ending and the solid snake battle. The way I saw it, it was basically the final moments of the fake Big Boss, just before the ultimate showdown between solid snake in MG1. In fact, at least for me, it was like an obvious ending, but then I remember that facts do not exist, there are only interpretations ;)

[@SpaceLight202]

I never knew these ! Even after 500 hrs!

[@tonganCoConut]

Just a nit pick but when you talk about the cardboard box, the weapon that surpassed metal gear. You say you can slide by equipping it at the "right moment" while that is a true statement to a degree, you just press the dodge button while it's equipped.

[@mityza69]

[@alexmercer8852]

People can be hypocrite sometimes. They hate konami but they love castlevania game. Shame

[@sandmaker47]

When Konami gets their ish together, they should find a new producer/director for the mgs franchise. One who appreciates Kojimas work and can recreate it starting from the 2 MG games not in 3d. Give them the opportunity to retell the whole thing again and to recast all the characters. Or sell their franchises off, castlevania, mgs, bomberman, whatever.

[@yasheeljhaumal8336]

The final boss fight should have been solid snake

[@mr.battle20]

We already see that fight in the original Metal Gear.

[@dodger7896]

For the kaz mission you can call the helicopter to a different landing zone and skip the skull unit

[@mr.battle20]

You can on a replay. However, for a first time run that function isn't available on the IDroid. You have to do it the legit way. That having been said, avoiding the Skulls actually isn't that hard. Just hug the right side, pressing up as close to the rock face as you can. You can carry Kaz with you as long as you're crouched. You might enter the Skulls' field of vision, but you won't trigger an alert. Just be sure to keep moving, as the Skulls will quickly move in to investigate. Once you have enough distance, get into a standing position and move at jogging (not sprinting) speed for about 10m, then go into full sprint once you're sure that you're clear of the Skulls. Whistle for D-Horse, load up Miller, and get the hell out of there. Mission complete.

[@sirdanielfortesque5812]

@@mr.battle20 I usually just get on the horse trot under the bridge and wait til the skulls stumble across it, gotta stay right under til they pass or they might walk down the sides which can ruin this method. Decoys popping up and C4 going off over where you want them to go helps speed things up a bit too and keeps em on course if they start getting suspicious, skull unit AI is bonkers they can be so unpredictable.

I really don't know if we played the same game, but yall are aware that this game has limitation of only rendering 12 people on the screen at the same time? cause if theres more you wont see them, they'll just pop in on the screen = rip stealth ( ps3 limitation that transfers to every other platform xd) scripts breaking all over the place,checkpoint softlocks,one of the dumbest ai in modern games, just place a truck on the road you will see them drive thru that shit,ai activating prompts,gens,thru the wall,ai after waking up can see you thru the wall if in L.O.S,60% of the ai is locked to a certain base,place cant roam in the "open world" they get fultoned,motherbase is a joke,Kiefer has 25min of recorded voice acting 13 of that is grunts and HYAA Horse..god idk if people were blind or is copium xd

Combat, cqc, weapons, helicopter, buddies, openworld, stealth, game mechanics ,etc. AMAZING. Story is meh wish there was more cutscenes. Not a fan of having to wait 30 real time minutes up to a hour for your team to get rid of riot suits on enemies and other things of the like. Other than that. My favorite mgs game hands down.

[@kartikey92]

I don't get the ranking system of this game, when i go berserk, i get better ranking then going all stealth with no kills and no detection.🤷

[@mr.battle20]

A lot of it is based on time. You can go absolutely apeshit and as long as you get the mission done quickly, you'll probably get an S Rank (130,000 points or higher). Codenames, in contrast, are given based on your style. The two hardest to obtain are Fox and Foxhound. Fox = perfect stealth, with kills. Foxhound = perfect stealth, no kills. Perfect stealth, no kills are worth a good number of bonus points toward rank, but not if you're doing it slowly. The penalty on time will be greater than whatever bonus you received.

[@cnash5647]

Not to mention, the game is well optimised in terms of graphics.

[@heyitszim6359]

MGS fans know once you beat the game you start fucking round on other playthroughs. I remember first doing it in grade school with MGS 1 in the jail cell seeing what different ways I might be able to mess around with guard. MGS 2 putting all the marines to sleep and then kicking one and seeing them all domino fall down. That dropped the frame rate like fuck. Twirling the revolver at Young Ocelot in MGS 3 and he is all like "Yeah! :D". Can't remember too much of that kind of stuff from MGS 4. As much as fans hate it I love the game and it did give us closure for the most part. Also MGS1 to 3. The many, many play throughs you would have to do to figure out how to get new and unique com conversations.

The only thing too actually play Metal Gear Solid 4 for is the boss fights, like Liquid/Ocelot's final battle.
