[@deezee2965]

+RogersBase Well, this is unfinished. And from what I see, not the cutscenes only. This mission 51 featured a whole new original area unseen in the final product. So my guess is the level design of that hasn't been worked on fully. As to why this is not in the game... 1) Maybe this featured children soldiers in a too brutal way? 2) Konami pushed it to released it? 3) Konami found an excuse to create a DLC wheather as a patch (along with MGO?) or a 20$ one. In anycase I hope for the later. This thing only feels unfinished now.

I'm right there with you. I really enjoyed it and I even liked that Venom Snake was a man of few words. When he did speak he had a lot of gravitas.

[@JohnnyJunkie]

[@nicogonzalez7860]

I am all for the Phantom Big Boss, however it was poorly executed. They promoted this game as the story that will show us how Big Boss became evil. And I understand we got that in a way but Big Boss is so iconic, I literally felt lost when I did learn the truth. Prior to knowing, I could feel the pain that Big Boss was going through with the knowledge of his past. But to find out it was his medic, it left me thinking, "man all that wasn't even Big Boss." Which I suppose is to Kojima's credit because maybe that was part of his intention. But I felt the lead up was lack luster with most of the hints being at the beginning of the game, in tapes such as Eli's DNA test coming up negative, and that this medic was the top solider. Big Boss held this soldier in high regard but we hardly saw him. Maybe it would've been more impactful if we saw more of their interactions in GZ. I am sure it was 4th wall breaking by saying he was the top solider because it was the player that played Peace Walker but it was weirdly executed. Perhaps if we found little notes in the ACC But I think i am mostly disappointed in fact that mission 46 was subtly placed in our missions with no build up and that it was a rehash of the prologue. I remember i almost skipped the mission entirely because I assumed it was just a harder version of the prologue. I am very curious to know how Kojima would've originally wanted to make that reveal and conclude the story as a whole.

Interesting that the color blindness can be triggered in-game. These days I fell off a cliff a wee bit too high and Snake sprained his ankle. After healing up the world felt a bit bleak.

To anyone feeling pissed at Kojima and Konami, this may make you feel a bit better. MGSV The Phantom Pain is largely based the classic story Moby Dick, right? There were a lot of names and themes in the game that came from the book. like Ahab, Ishmael, etc... During its first publications in UK, Moby Dick was missing its epilogue as well, hence why it got bad reviews at the time because there was no closure on Ishmael's story or in this game's case, Big Boss' story... This may be cruel, but this may be yet another stunt by Kojima...

I personally loved the ending. In the true ending, it shows that the title "Big Boss" is just that, a title. Remember what Liquid Ocelot said in Metal Gear Solid 2 "With the right situation, the right story, ANYONE can be Snake" and in this case, The Medic, after facial surgeries up the ass, the doctor of the hospital in Cyprus, Ishmael and Ocelot both filling this medic the idea that he was Big Boss, just proves Liquid Ocelot's theory right. And this game wasn't trying to be better than the previous games, story wise. It was meant to fill in the gaps, and it managed to deliver it in spades.

Since the only sirvivors from the attack were miller, big boss and one of the best soldiers of big boss and big boss was in danger, the soldier aka venom snake, was put into a coma and the doctors altered his appearence so he can look like big boss and they hypnotised him to think that he's big boss and they gave him all of the bosses memories. After the boss had awaken, he did too after a couple of weeks. While he was in the hospital, he was attacked by mercenaries and with the help of big boss he escaped and met ocelot.

[@Sup750]

Personally, I say the fact that this was even included in the bonus blu-ray disc that came with the collector's edition and not swept under the rug shows that Kojima did want this in the final game. Recent reports indicate that KONAMI poured $80 million into this game and they were NOT happy about that. With that being said, I think this scene was a casualty of KONAMI not giving the funds and resources to Kojima to finish this final part of the game.

[@ZerogunRivale]

+Sup750 We now know that Kojima went over budget at multiple points in production which led to the $80 budget. To be fair, 80 million is a lot and quite frankly, one wonders if it's just too much for a video game. In Japan where economic woes can be seen more often these days, that amount is A LOT for a video game. You can't just pull tens of millions of dollars out of nowhere and drop it on somebody. As terrible as Konami is, Kojima isn't a victim. He knew that he was going overboard and should have scaled back in other areas if he wanted to make this Stage 1 a reality.

[@Leonelf0]

+ZerogunRivale the 80 million also went into the development of the fox engine, so in total, it's not very much since the engine could be used for a fuckton of games, given how optimized it is.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

+ZerogunRivale Seeing how much money the game will make, Konami is definitely still to blame. This 1 missions couldn't have cost that much more money. They spent a ton of money on making an online mode (made by Kojima LA, not Kojima himself) but they can't spend money on letting Kojima finish the fuckin game?

[@SethonanGaming]

+ZerogunRivale but MGS is a series that moves hardware; it's not on the sam elevel of fanboyism as GTA or CoD but it's always been a good seller. 80 million seems cheap considering CoD rehashes a ten year old game engine and blows hundreds of millions of dollars in ardvertisement. Konami got a kickass propietary engine, with the best selling series they have now besides PES; they shot themselves in the foot with this.

[@ZerogunRivale]

Lord Seth 80 million is cheap for American and Canadian developers, but outside of Square-Enix and certain Nintendo games, it's actually VERY expensive for Japan. It's literally two different mentalities for making games between the east and west. Most Japanese games never need to cost anymore than 20 million dollars sometimes. For a Japanese company making a game not named Final Fantasy or Zelda, spending more than 50 million is considered going overboard. This is why Kojima has explicitly stated during the past few years (even before the fallout with Konami was announced) that he'd like to work with western developers. On the flipside, often western developers spend too much. 500 million dollars is in the midst of being used to develop Destiny as a franchise game (that money being spread over the development of the actual game which has been released and all future DLC which is currently being produced).

[@tankhead2645]

Kojima was overbudget when the game was released, which is probably why they forced it out Still, the profits eclipsed 80 mil on production by a landslide, raking in 170 million on day 1 alone, so they should have just stuck with it

[@mex1jvr]

+Artsic OMG!!! Yes!! Psycho Mantis and Eli!!!! Spotlight is always on Solid and some on Big Boss (3 and 5 and bits in the other games) but a game fully on Eli and PM would be awesome!!

[@hatad321]

Liquid doesn't do anything really exciting before MGS 1, it's mostly fighting with the SAS and British Secret Intelligence Service during the gulf war. In 2000 he became squad leader of FoxHound just after Solid Snake left, with the goal of killing Snake for Big Boss' death (Liquid wanted to do it ) in 2005 Ocelot convinces Liquid to start a insurrection. Which becomes the Shadow Moses Incident when Liqulid and the FoxHound unit under his command take over the nuclear disposal facility.

[@ArtsicOfficial]

the game could be simply him forming HIS fox hound group, which was the coolest fox hound team ever in MGS history.

[@hatad321]

Most of his squad were already in FoxHound, minus Psycho Mantis of course, he was made leader of the already existing unit. Though what happens in the 5 year gap is not known, which is where the game can be. Also I'd argue the best Foxhound team is the original; Big Boss, Solid Snake, Gray Fox, Roy Campbell, Dr. Clark (paramedic) and Master Miller.

+davekpenyong That ending it's not a good reason to have the actual protagonist being quiet as fuck. I mean, he doesn't have any opinions, nothing, and the tapes are just excuses

[@davekpenyong]

Faraghorn Warlock oh it makes perfect sense, as you can see the real big boss is talkative, the one we've got isn't

[@MegaRaymond2009]

davekpenyong And? So if the other one it's not the real, he should be quiet? That's my point. The "phantom" guy (our character) was supposed to had Big Boss memories cause hypnosis like Ocelot said, he took the identity of the real, so he should act like that, not quiet, it does NOT make sense, for me, at least

[@davekpenyong]

Faraghorn Warlock yes the difference is youve lost an arm and you the player represent this phantom snake, similar to how we were forced to use raiden in mgs2 with the whole memories of a character thing, it makes no difference whatsoever you aren't the real big boss, as you can see the real big boss was talking 50x more as ishmeal than every scene venom snake is in, besides you have the glorious casset tapes to listen to the real big boss after you've finished the game.

[@romilrh]

Snake going colorblind after a serious injury and shooting Eli was a really clever piece of writing...that I never would've understood if this mission was finished. This actually happens in the game (you really do go colorblind for a bit after healing a serious injury), but it's something I never once actually noticed, because the game never draws any attention to it. I only noticed it after watching this video, when I had just healed and I realized a couple of red cargo containers had turned gray. In this cutscene, Snake actually does look down at his red bionic arm which has turned white, but it would be no guarantee that his arm would be red to begin with. The player can equip any arm for the mission (the rocket arm is silver, the blast arm is black, etc). So the game would need to either: a) come up with some reason to force Snake's arm to be red for this mission and then draw attention to it multiple times before it turns white to ensure the player would notice, or b) explicitly demonstrate Snake's colorblindness during a different cutscene earlier in the game and/or flat-out explain it to the player

[@BatsAndNights]

I mean correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the game default your arm to the red bionic one when you head into the Quarantine Platform during the second outbreak? I'd assume they were gonna do something similar here, just with this slight variation of the "Biohazard" fatigues

[@romilrh]

@@BatsAndNights it does, but that's one mission out of 50 plus side ops where the vast majority of them let you choose which arm you want, and which the vast majority of players will choose something other than the default red arm 🤷‍♂️

[@blizzsmokey1]

It’s not in any cutscenes but it is in one of the early tapes. I only noticed it now because I’m replaying it

[@romilrh]

@@blizzsmokey1 Yeah, it's definitely established in certain places, but the fact that you only noticed it because you're replaying it proves my point. I bet the vast majority of players would be like, "What? Why did Snake shoot Eli? Why was his suit white for a second??"

If budget was a concern, I would have rather had "part 1 and part 2".

Recently replayed MGSV and it's such a shame this mission never got completed. It would have provided some much needed closure to the Eli and Mother Base arc. This mission (at least in terms of the incomplete cutscene and dialogue shown-off) could easily have been the best-most interesting one in the entire game. The "Lord of the Flies" references is fascinating.

[@retromaster6163]

As a long-time MGS fan, it's such a shame TPP which has great gameplay, also has a pretty rubbish story and the way it's told is a mess. Mission 51 actually looks like a decent ending to the whole Diamond Dog story, which was definitely lacking closure. So I think it's fucking disgusting that this episode - for whatever reason - was axed from the final game. TPP is not the best game in the series, which is such a shame.

[@Solid-Old]

+Stonecoldsas 1 Yup, this game had potential to be the best of the saga.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

+Stonecoldsas 1 If it had even a story half as good as MGS 1-4, it could've been the best game of all time. They really fucked it up big time.

TheBangooman Nah, fuck no LOL You think MGS 5's story was lacking? Just wait til you play a fallout game. Even at MGS's worst, it's still ten times better than any fallout story, and the gameplay is already clearly superior to Fallout's as well. MGS 5 still has GOTY on lockdown. Hell, even Bloodborne has Fallout beat

[@TheBangooman]

Hugo Stiglitz Man the game is not out yet, so you can't know how the gameplay is gonna be. I personally like Fallout world a lot, and just because it's stories are simple and less contrived doesn't mean they're worse, just diferent. And keep in mind every time Bethesda releases a game (other than ESO) they get GOTY and wreck everyone else, so they can't be that bad. Still, this year is gonna be hot with Witcher 3, Fallout 3, MGSV (unfinished) and some other games I heard are pretty beast. Still it's nothing but a price, end of the day no one cares.

[@123BenCrazy]

I recently started playing this game again, and I realized that Kojima might have had some weird, artistic excuse for the game not having a proper ending- I think a big part of the story is that Big Boss doesn't even enjoy what he does anymore, he just does it because its all he knows how to do- he's the Ghost of the Battlefield, the Legendary Mercenary, the man know as The Big Boss. He ends his arc with Skull Face, gets his revenge, and then what's he going to do? Disband Diamond Dogs, go back to the States, and become Assistant Manager at a WalMart in Kentucky? No, even if he could handle that, he's got too many enemies and too many people who count on him to walk away from the war (Another Day, in a war that never ends?) Chapter 2 is just Big Boss's life; he wraps up his arc, gets his dramatic showdown with his nemesis, and then its back to shooting mooks for bread money. Maybe in a year or two he'll have to stop some psycho who wants to flood the world with radioactive gerbils or something, but that won't be the end of things either. Big Boss never gets an ending to his story, and neither do we.

Hell on that note MGSV: Ground Zeroes should've been included for the price of this game. I mean it was only an 1-2 hr. story tops (I explored that mission a lot/site seeing).

[@chrisworley23]

+nickreilly72 I understand the reasoning behind Ground Zeroes, don't get me wrong there. The idea was nice. Get players a chance to try out the new mechanics and to get some player feedback before releasing the Phantom Pain. They tweaked some things so it does show that they listened to the feedback. The problem was the price itself. I mean I already knew it was going to be short and I still bought the damn thing brand new (and loved playing the main story and side ops). I just believe that it would've been nice to include Ground Zeroes (just the main story) as an opener for this game. Consider it as an Episode 0 for those that didn't play Ground Zeroes when it first came out. Imagine those players, they're like "WTF how did Big Boss get in a coma and what happened to MSF?" The reason they didn't do that was so that people were forced to play (BUY) Ground Zeroes just to know what's going on from the start of this game. Oh and as far as the horse goes, IMO it controls a helluva lot better than the horse in the Witcher 3.

It's Kojima's last MG game. He did work so hard to make this game. The work of his life. What happened? I can't believe they did this... really... Call me pathetic. I don't care. I won't return here anyway.

[@Spacebuz]

+Batman com Preparo I believe it has something to do with Konami wanting the game to be out and are fed up with how long the game took to develop and the money it took. (This is the longest Metal Gear game in development taking 5 years and costing $80mill making it up alongside high end AAA games in development costs). Because even from the trailer last year, Nuclear E3 2014 trailer, it showed part of episode 51 with the crashed helicopter and napalmed children (Which heavily implies Venom Snake returns to this place after the napalming). Since Kojima put that in the trailer he obviously was intending for it to be in the game, and Kojima would've never cut that part or the entirety of the ending. So it shows the episode 51 cut, the Venom snake speech cut and such was a decision made within the past year.

While the story still has issues, it's fucking ridiculous that Konami didn't let Kojima at least finish the mission to complete the final plotline left hanging. Confusing and plothole ridden story or not, at least it shouldn't have been left incomplete. Budgetary concerns are one thing, but with a guaranteed hit like MGSV, they really should've just let him finish it up, since it seems like they had a large chunk of the work done for the final mission already.

utterly ridiculous this wasnt included in the final game considering just how unfinished the game suddenly feels in Chapter 2. Its a real utter shame Konami at least didnt end things with Kojima AFTER releasing a remake of Metal Gear 1-2 considering how outdated looking they are

[@landlockedcroat1554]

utter

[@claireredfield7368]

And they were not only cutting Mission 51, but Chapter 3 as well.

[@SirBronson]

The fact that THIS got cut is a fucking travesty

[@NerdTronX]

Bravo Kojima.

Is this the mission where I find "Invisible" tape?

[@SuntoryKick]

The cut content is all part of a plan by Kojima. Through us the players feeling like the game is incomplete we are experiencing our own phantom pain. This "cut content" is a red herring. Why does it show what appears to be 9/11 at the end? 9/11 is only two days away so we'll see if there's anything more to expect from Kojima and MGSV then.

OKAY WTF WHY WOULD YOU CUT THIS KONAMI!?

[@ninaendom6293]

Sean Thompson cos they suck soo hard

[@TabbzManiaGaming]

I hate hideo kojima for removing this that much when I found him on the side Ops mission I drive over him with a tank

[@clockworkdeath935]

It’s likely Hideo didn’t remove it on purpose, Konami gave them a limited time to complete MGSV so they were unable to completely flesh it out. Plus Hideo only wrote the story for this one as Konami moved him away from his team.

[@TabbzManiaGaming]

@@clockworkdeath935 I still think it’s the work of cipher 😂

[@zero1188]

so this mean liquid was behind 9/11
