this sounds interesting. So infinite heaven and what tweaks exactly? is that Morbid's side ops expansion pack mod worth grabbing as well?

Just HP change is enough to make huge difference. Go from 100% to 20% and no longer run and gun will be good tactic.
There are plenty of other changes like OSP you can make using this mod.

that mod is fucking dope

i set the enemy sight range to 150% and it was like ground zeroes. Then i tried 300% and it totally game changing, like playing ArmA except without the jank.

I've been playing this game a lot. What is the story about? I'm just playing attention to it now, there's a lot of "woah oh", nukes and extermination of language.

Yup. And with something like 20% it challenges best stealth action games. Having huge boost to line of sight and low health instantly transforms this game from dudebro garbage shooter into one of the best stealth games around.

Language stuff is interesting philosophically but Kojima as he himself states steals this idea from Romanian author.
The other stuff is standard Kojima weebo stuff and unfinished at that because act 3 was effectively not completed.

Better just play it as really weird steal game.

Though i must say that i didn't expect Quiet part to be best part of story.

Just beat mission 31. I guess that's the ending but not really. Oddly enough there was a lot of cutscenes in these final 2 missions while the rest of the game didn't have much cutscenes. There's a chapter 2, I'll get to that soon enough

The metal gear was a bullet sponge and took a lot of missiles and grenade launchers and it put mother base in the red by destroying my helicopter and constantly calling down ammo.

The nearby tank did less damage than my missile & grenade launchers but there was a weak point on the metal gear I hit that did a lot of damage.

I've spent 90 hours in the game over a span of 2 years. Not as much as I thought but still a lot of time.

Just finished mission 31. Still haven't discovered what is Free Roam for? Why should I use it?

Free mode is basically for farming S rank soldiers (when you have high enough Heroism so they appear), and doing Side Ops. Most of the Side Ops are repetitive shit but AFAIK a certain amount of them are required to get the last mission.

One of the funniest and dumbest thing happened. I'm in an FOB and the fucking guards see me through the walls from the floor above and shoot me through the fucking floor and kill me all indoors.

Some of these side ops have the dumbest premises. How do these kids escape from mother base in the ocean near Madagascar and make it all the way to Afghanistan?

these post-mission 30 missions where you do some of the same missions but harder have been quite good. They offer actual challenge like the subsistence missions where you start with no gear, buddies and can't call in supply drops or helicopter help. Downside is that the skulls mission is complete shit with increased health & teleporting and you have to watch all the same cutscenes twice.

Eh looks like I've found the trick to getting frequent S ranks. Just go through the mission as quick as possible without enemies seeing you. It doesn't matter if you kill or don't kill the enemies, if enemies get alert or if you do the optical objectives.

Just did a mission where skulls popped out of a truck. I got hit 18 times by the skulls and still got an S rank. I guess it doesn't matter how many times you were hit but rather not getting caught and how quickly you finish.

Should I go back to play metal gear solid? I found that reddit thread and got the game working on my computer or should I play MGS4? I have a PS3 and it was given for free in PS PLUS.
