But Big Boss didn't really talk much in Ground Zeroes either. Except for in the tapes and the beginning of the mission.

Yeah, that would've made it a lot better tbh.
I'm sure main reason was Kiefer Sutherland was WAY more expensive than Hayter and Konami didn't wanted to churn out the cash for more dialogues. They be cheap.
^ The game's budget was already exceeding 80 million USD, that can't be the reason. Maybe Kojima just wanted to hire Keifer so he could hang out with him, must be a big fan of 24.
If you take TPP as just the story of Skullface's arc, it ends pretty solidly at 31. The rest was all extra meat, but people had built in an expectation over the years that this game is the one that will tie into Metal Gear.
Most of that is Konami/Kojipro's own marketing department's fault, most material pre release (including a release trailer on official sony channels) puts statements like "The final chapter in big boss's downfall" etc and makes it imply that this game will tie into big boss becoming a villain.
At the end, that story arc is given maybe a minute or two max, then nothing.
Anybody willing to play Metal Gear Online from next month? Speaking of which, who played MGO back in MGS4's era?
it will only gonna release on console for next month for PC it will be at Jan 2016 or more, hell oh my mistake, so it will be in OCT for PC as well. Beside those whom complaining about that the game is so easy or not so challenging, just turn of the marker display option along with alert and so on, then try to clear a starter mission, I bet they wouldn't, as for that reason there is no difficulty setting there, so you may set your own limit, if you want to play in hardcore mod, then disable reflex as well.

Currently at mission 30 and this is probably the peak of the story. The story was so intense right after mission 21 till 29 (haven't started 30 yet).
Mild Spoilers Ahead*****
The game does so well in reminding you about the phantom pain. The infection spread at Motherbase was a stark reminder of what phantom pain really is.
This whole phase was executed really well.
The code walker mission was the best one so far. Which ones yours?
As you guys are saying that shits gonna go down hill from here, well I am gonna hold my expectations from mission 31 onwards.
What I really miss here are the Codec conversations, found yourself stuck somewhere? Lets just press a lousy L1 button and keep hearing same from Miller which offers little to none help. Previously we could like talk to anyone we like, looking for tips to beat the mission, or if you were getting lonely.
I can't understand why it was removed altogether. Pressing a button would have opened up a menu just like the buddy command menu, from there we could have selected a codec convo.
The game for me is hovering around a 8 ...lets hope it gets better.
Anyways, D Walker is probably the worst of all buddies...even with the scouting head, the range is just shit. Quiet on the other hand is the most useful one and makes infiltrations a bit tooooo easy once you unlock the suppressed tranq sniper.
I have heard there are a few secret cutscene as well. So far I have unlocked the Paz one and have only heard about the Quiet scene, how do you unlock that?

I think my favourite mission is 43. LOVED IT!!
Missions 28-31 were also great.
And I agree, D-Walker is the worst buddy. I didn't even used it except for in mission 31.
As for the quiet scene:
Spoiler: show
Ahan alright thanks for that tip!
About the cassette tapes, well since mgs4 faced major criticism for its long cutscenes and codecs, Kojma made it so that you can like hear them when you are not playing over the app or over YouTube (thats what I am doing). Nonetheless it still is riveting, the cassettes are a good why to get your fill into the story even when you are away from your game.

You mean the FOB missions?
The online has been stable for a few weeks now since Konami finally got its shit together.
Also, finally made some progress. Subsistence missions are the best I wish I could attach that prefix to every mission I wanted.
In reference to the hidden cutscene that I accidentally found on the Medical Platform, what the fuck Kojima?! That was way too important to be left undiscovered.
Also I found many other doors on Motherbase which are locked. Did anyone unlock those?

yeah found no way to unlock those doors..as for med bay, if you are worried about being left out of that part of the story keep visiting the area after you acquire a new memento item
Internet says they all unlock at some point in the story. I agree, otherwise there's no point to show some of them as locked.
So I played some MGS 2 & 3 over the holidays because I didn't have my ps4 and still needed MGS. Man do I miss the structured story of the past games. I love how far the gameplay has come, but Kojima went too far with cutting back on story.
I've never considered him a 'genius'; but I think he made too many wrong decisions as far as story telling goes with TPP.

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
