What ciggaveli said. Still a grind though, especially cause you gotta wait for it to process in real game time. Bout to leave my shyt on overnight.
Common metal is the hardest grind. Took me forever. But I finally maxed out my base and got the Architect achievement :whew:

hey brehs i got a question. Is MGO gonna be completely separate from the game or will the game be patched when its online and you'll need the game to get to it. Like would u have to go to the playstation store and download it or will it just be patched into the game come october 6th?

Better bring in that AM sniper rifle. One shot downs them and they're easy to extract from 20m with the hand of jahuti.

Crawl on the top perimeter and shoot whoevers in your way. Im at a level now where i only get 3 and 4 tiered platforms so knowing how to play the system to avoid alerts is key.

What's good with setting up your Base to be annoying to infiltrate like that? I haven't really messed with it, this game has so much going on, that when I begin to even look at FOB it's overwhelming. Especially setting up the base equipment.

Do you have to put stuff exactly where you want it to be (cameras, alarms, drones etc)?

After I dealt with that try hard base, I went and just found some 1 platform one to get a free win

I haven't had any problems at all with gmp or resources. I spent so much time on side missions early on that I've never run out of anything. Im on mission 32 right now with MB almost completely maxed out.

As far as mission 31 goes. The ending was incredibly confusing. As I expected, it left me with 6 million more questions than I had before. I was actually a bit disappointed with it, but then the intro to the second chapter made my jaw drop. :dame:
I've said it before and I still feel the same. I can't remember the last game that had me this hook. The story and gameplay is incredible. I would argue that any aspect of the game someone doesn't like could be easily ignored with the amount of freedom the game gives you to do things the way you want to do them. Stealth is definitely the smarter way to go about playing the game, but running and gunning is effective as well as long as the player understands that the game will get much harder, much faster that way.

Keeping in mind that I'm only on mission 32 (or 33, I don't even remember exactly at the moment) here's what I think so far with the story. You guys may know the answer already since you've beaten it, so whether I'm right or wrong don't spoil it because I've done everything humanly possible to avoid spoilers. All of these theories are coming from my knowledge of the past games:

This has to be Liquid. Everything about Liquid points to this being him. Liquid was hell bent on getting back at Big Boss, even though he wanted to build upon his perception of Big Boss' will. In MGS1 Liquid was dedicated to rebuilding Outer Heaven, but was also angry at Big Boss. I can see Eli's character continuing to build resentment for Big Boss. I also read that the back of his jacket says "Liquid People/Person" in Japanese but I don't know if that's an accurate translation.

This has to be psycho mantis, but who in the world is he working for exactly? Could he be working for Zero? I don't remember as much about Psycho Mantis from MGS1. I'm gonna have to go back and watch a few cut scenes as a refresher.

I've been wondering...why isn't Big Boss' face cut up at the end of MGS4? Looking at his face in MGSV closer, it almost looks like someone is wearing a Big Boss mask. Like, there's lines for stitches. I don't know if I'm looking to much into it. I just don't get how his face could look so mangled in this one and look perfectly fine in the ending of MGS4. This reminds me of what Decoy Octopus was doing in MGS1. He would go to incredible lengths to steal someone's identity, even having blood transfusions to change his blood type. In that game, he took the place of Donald Anderson, the DARPA chief and was killed by the Fox Die virus when he was exposed to Solid Snake. I don't know. Maybe I'm completely off because I never expected Decoy Octopus to be in this game. He never seemed that important to the story before. But something isn't right about Big Boss' face.

Did he ever really exist? I could be way off about this guy too but for some reason I get the impression that he isn't a real person, more like a projection of someone else's personality. I don't have much to go on as far as he goes but I'm confused as to what his deal really is.

Lol breh imma need you to beat the game.

A lot of your stuff is answered at the end of the game.

Once you beat it, ill probably start a post game discussion in a separate thread so we wont have to mark spoilers. Ive been reading ALOT of theories out there, there is a lot of stuff that's taking place (or didn't take place) that should be noted.

Who else has beaten the game? I know you and @Fatboi1 did. I'm trying to beat the game within the next few days. I've had to ignore the side missions to make up time though. I hope MGO doesn't completely pull me away from the story. I can't remember the last game that had this much stuff packed into it. I can definitely see my self playing this game well into the majority of 2016 still especially if MGO takes off the way I hope it does.
