N-thing Phantom Pain I'm sure it was somewhere in the marketing for the game and I just never saw it, but I just found out that once your combat unit is established you can swap Big Boss out for any old dude in your combat group. Cue going out on missions as Silent Mastodon: Former spetsnaz commander  Also, little thing, since your run of the mill diamond dogs don't have a bionic arm like the Boss, certain actions are slightly different. The one I noticed is that instead of sparking electricity from your hand to lure enemies, your generic dude just cracks his knuckles with the unholy popping of a thousand broken bones.

You can keep replaying missions. It's an evil, evil system once it gets its claws into you. I've leveled a guy called Grey Worm up a couple of times and he's earning medals with "off-screen" missions as a result of the stat boost.

In TPP when you get "injured" such that you have to actually hold down the action button to heal, in the ACC afterwards you'll get stuff like Snake with an IV in.

Calaveron posted:Your default bionic roboarm has this attack wherein if you're sprinting and hit the attack button, you'll do a running punch attack which instantly floors any type of soldier or animal. Neddy Seagoon posted:Incidentally, one of the equippable Bionic Arms is a literal Rocket Punch. You aim, fire, and then guide it remotely into someone's face to stun them For anyone who doesn't have the game but needs to see these, I made a video where I do both in rapid succession Also it's important to note that Kiefer occasionally screams "ROCKET PUUUUUNCH" (this is how the subtitles write it) when you fire that off

So, I pinched a guard's jeep that was hanging around in an outpost (MGS:PP), and as I was driving off, he came on the radio complaining to CP that someone had taken his vehicle. CP told him that no vehicles were reported stolen, and someone else must have needed it more than him. It advised him to walk wherever it was he was going. Edit: Similarly, messing with guards' heads:

I managed to steal Take On Me from a base today. Also I kicked a wolf in the face. Also there's a mission where you have to rescue a guy from your old base. He's gone crazy and he hits you and runs away whenever you try to get close. I found the solution completely by accident, but I should have known. Wear a box and he's like "Big Boss, I knew you were alive!" and then you can extract him. I liked that.

One of the guys can't be tranqed. Or at least he can take 17 hits of it. I got him by a Six Million Dollar punch.

One nice thing I've noticed (or at least I've noticed) is this: Guards in the game recognize the Fulton Balloons you use to extract defeated enemies. They'll report on them, talk about them, ect. The final Fulton Balloon upgrade transforms them into a wormhole that sucks up enemies. When using this enemies seem to just report on seeing 'something strange' or 'something to check out' as opposed to just using the default balloon dialogue.

Fuel is one of the materials you need to upgrade struts and you get it either by waiting for it to process or borrowing it from some communist bastards. And yeah each part of the base has a cap and all my sections are full right now while I wait to be able to afford to upgrade stuff.

Early on there's a bit of scrounging for resources but fairly early in the story they start giving you ways to automate a lot of processes. Once you unlock the combat team they can be assigned missions to collect resources and guys. You also have an automated processing platform that gets you materials for building/upgrading without having to collect stuff yourself.

Level some stuff up, fart around, get good at things you suck at, and then moves along the story when you're ready. I hate games with a limited pool of Make-Stuff-Better.

D-Dog grew up. Now he's like Koromaru if he was a spy with an eyepatch and riot gear. Poor Soviets just don't know what the gently caress when Big Boss and D-Dog attack together. Also before that I did a mission taking out armored vehicles while on horseback with a bazooka and The Final Countdown blaring. Also there was a mission where I got into a fight with a sniper. I took her out with a pair of artillery strikes. Oh, and I got a mission I haven't tried yet to capture a "legendary bear". Basically MSGV is amazing and wonderful once you start getting Mother Base set up. Or "Dog Hotel" as the emblem says.

Funnily enough the game recognizes this as a legitimate tactic because it's a Kojima game and you get a 5000 point bonus for "neutralized the sniper with non-firearm methods" when it's tallying up your rank.
