MGSV: a logo creation program with a stealth minigame attached

Maddoc

I just spent an hour and twenty minutes in mission nine

At least thirty minutes of that was looking for the very last prisoner to complete all the objectives

Still somehow got S rank despite four event combat alerts, and zero points from time. Turns out taking out all eleven vehicles matters for a while lot of points.

Edit: Oh yeah also 45 headshots is 45k points too hah

So there's some pretty crazy internet rumours about a content patch tomorrow.

I'd be shocked if it was true but kojima so who knows

i've seen these rumors and i can't believe that people are actually credulous enough to believe them

No, it's a rumour about like an extra mission or something being patched in.

that seems like some knee-jerk gossip in response to the missing mission 51

i'd have to think konami would have gotten out ahead of things and been like "we didn't cut it we just had to push it to be DLC don't worry it's coming!"

unless they're just... hoping they can patch it in before the vast majority of players get far enough to notice it's not there? that seems highly unlikely

It was HARD. Got my ass kicked.

Neat, though

any time someone has multiple platforms i pretty much assume i'm fucked

speaking of which, how do you build extra platforms? do they just build automatically as your security team levels up?

when do I get to change my base logo

is it something ive been able to do this whole time in mother base and didn't realize, or is it unlocked at some point

It's unlocked pretty early but you can only do it from the Customize menu in the ACC

Daebunz

oh ok thats probably why i haven't noticed it, thanks

Speed Racer

oh shit i just realized

Big Boss modeled the Foxhound logo after DD, didn't he

What's the deal with the vehicles beyond the main seven? Do they spawn if you take out all seven and stick around?

Pretty much, you'll get a call saying you can stick around and take out the reinforcements or leave.

Maddoc

Also the original Foxhound logo is still way better

DrIanMalcolm

Here's a bunch of Snake dialogue that was cut after being recorded, including "You're fired"

Speed Racer

aw man why would they get rid of "you're fired"

Speed Racer

oh

my

god

Why didn't they leave in

click R1 in base facilities. You've really been missing out if you've gone this long without developing your FOB

Nah, it's all tied to some countdown timer on some website that has a lot of Orwellian connections, has "a ##### ###### game" as one of its headers, and has what looks like a guy with an eyepatch on one of its hidden pages

The problem is that, while the timer started on August 1st, it ends tomorrow at 4:20 PM est

So my money is on an elaborate "420 blaze it" gag

obviously it will be a special 9/11 themed mission where sahelanthropus is rampaging through new york and big boss has to destroy it by using jet fuel to melt its steel joints

Speed Racer

well now i feel like that joke was in bad taste but i feel like if i edit and say "nope this was in bad taste" people will think it was even worse than it is

Blackhawk1313

But jet fuel can't... nevermind, I can't do it.

Qanamil

Altered to be palatable, I would totally play a mission with Sahelanthropus going all Godzilla on a city. Sneaking, fighting, whatevs.

Turns out the content patch is for another metal gear game

How could you forget to include Tortoise Emergency?

I thought we were friends.

That's one thing I am surprised we could not so, is airdrop the animals we Fulton

I was looking forward to dropping a bear on an outpost

AvalonGuard

I'm very much okay with my first major emblem.

Mx. Quill

@Death of Rats and I had the same idea.

this is a write-up on the secret patch conspiracy (ending spoilers)

Mission 29 S Rank
No dwalker, rockets or supply drops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZpHqROyRRw

I find it pretty funny that I tried to use a tank at the start but did no damage with it because I've never driven one before so it gets taken out before I even figured out what the buttons were.

Speed Racer

part of me really wants this to be for real

if only because kojima has been trying to fool people so much

but people figured out the phantom pain fakeout in minutes and the silent hills fakeout in days

let him have one, internet!

Speed Racer

mission 46

people even figured out the phantom boss twist!

COME ON, LET HIM HAVE ONE MORE FAKEOUT

Doctor Fink

So I've heard guards talking about it for a while now and I've had unit deployment missions to interrupt their supply,

But I've yet to see any security cameras anywhere.

Do they only show up after a certain mission or something?

Olivaw

The morse code message on the website in question decodes as

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS AN ABSOLUTE TIMELESS ENEMY

so if this is a hoax, which it probably is, whoever is responsible did a fantastic job pre-planning it and timing it

I think they only show up at the really heavily guarded bases? I've never seen one at a smaller guard post for sure

KetBra

They seem to show up really late game

yep

a metal gear quote that's not from MGSV but still relevant to orwellian ideas

either this dude did an amazing job planning a hoax or this is definitely something MGSV related

that said, it could be something as little as "DOWNLOAD THE NEW BIG BROTHER EMBLEM PIECE FOR MGSV" so

y'know

not gettin' too worked up about it yet
