Since this is kind of the post-game thread, I figure this is the place to ask. Is there any way to get the sweet sandstorm goggles that snake is wearing in a lot of the promo images?

If you're not joking, once you have finished the game you should google MGSV Mission 51.

A description of the cut content, including concept art, and a partially complete cutscene, was included was included with the collectors edition of the game. This is the video you can find by googling.

"For their period" being the important phrase here. I have no doubt MGSV will be well-regarded for its period, but is it something I'm going to want to play through again in its entirety 10+ years from now like Subsistence? For me, the story, character interactions, and setting keep me coming back to it more than the sneaking/combat.
Agreed. For the same reason, when I read a book written over ten years ago or watch a film made in the dark pre-HD times, I try to skip the words and visuals respectively, because I'm also insane.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
45 has been no traced. It's, um, stupidly easy, it turns out. Call D-Walker at the very starting instant to kick Quiet off the team.

Also, prenatual has announced they won't be releasing more videos. :(

Eil didn't know he was a clone, he just thinks Big Boss is his actual biological father. He doesn't find out about Les Enfants Terribles until much, much later, by which point in time he's already become Liquid Snake.

He definitely knows he's a clone, he references the inferior genes thing at some point.

The comment says that you spawn D-Walker just before you trigger the cutscene that begins the battle but whenever I do it it just freezes the game on the loading icon. What's the exact process I should do?

Also, how do you defeat the chopper then?

That would be the most japanese twist: That while Solid, Liquid, and Solidus are all clones of Big Boss, Solidus was actually the oldest clone and used as an m-preg host to gestate solid and liquid. Everything else is a lie to hide that fact. solidus's "artificial aging" and the surrogate mothers of Solid and Liquid. All lies constructed by Ocelot, to mislead the player.

If chapter 3 comes out by magic, and the final scene is real life Hideo Kojima declaring that his face is a mask and dramatically tearing it off to reveal that he is Revolver Ocelot IN REAL LIFE, that would basically be the best ending to the MGS franchise possible.

As long as the times refuse to change, we're going to make a hell of a racket.
Miller is such a traitor that his name is 'benedict'. He betrayed Big Boss in Zanzibar land, I'm pretty sure he's actively sabotaging you through the whole game (Eli snuck out on the chopper, Kaz stopped Quiet even though she's loving invisible), and even after he died Liquid uses his persona to gain your trust and then betray you. Oh, let's not forget the secret tape in Peace Walker where he talks about betraying you. Given how loudly he accuses Huey of being a spy it wouldn't surprise me if Huey was framed to cover up for Kaz' sabotage.

Yeah I'm pretty confident Kaz is the real leader of XOF. He was hamming it up pretty hard in the chopper just before Paz improv'd the "second bomb".

edit: which means Big Boss killed a bunch of his own men during the motherbase attack by backing up the wrong side, lol.

It was never stated in-game, but someone in this thread made a very cool observation: Finally defeating the Skulls in Metallic Archaea is what unlocks the wormhole Fulton upgrade. There's a lot of ridiculous technology in this game, mostly parasites and archaea, but wormholes and weather control are also in it. I think, between parasites that act as Stealth Camouflage and wormholes, that gun materialization is pretty much covered.

Also why couldn't Ocelot just translate russian for Venom? He's fluent and always around when there's gunships and snipers to be pointed out

Uh what? That's not true at all. Doing the Legendary Ilbis side-op is what unlocks the wormhole fultons, and the side-op is unlocked by beating mission 31.

When it's writing but when it's just translating what someone is saying its not as bad, and honestly I'd have enjoyed Ocelot going "Yes he said there's resources or something around here, also be on watch for gunships, One burst from its machinegun can tear a man in half"

Oh okay that's fair. It's still true though that you don't get wormhole tech until after you've defeated the Skulls once and for all. Mostly what I meant to say was: The Skulls probably pull their guns out of wormholes, because wormhole tech is in the game.

I thought they were using metallic archaea to construct guns. They can use it to earthbend giant metal rocks out of the earth, this might just be a more precise use of them, getting trained parasites to assemble something in a particular shape.

I thought that's what they were doing the first time I saw their powers. After kicking the poo poo out of them, I think it's much more plausible that they had wormhole holsters rather than using the most powerful technology ever to create conventional weapons ins 1984.

I think boiling down Kojima's style to 'insane' is really demeaning to his work, whilst there's obviously alot of quirk to his style he's there's also alot of effort to say something meaningful in every one of his games and they're legendary to their attention to detail and incredible level of polish. Compare to Suda51, who's spent most of the last decade writing down ideas on napkins and getting other people to make them, I don't think the two directors are really in the same ballpark
