[SPOILERS] Can't seem to progress through story

[Aki]

So I just did the radiation leak mission but I seem to not get any new missions.

I did some other missions and sideops but nothing new happens.

Do I just need to continue doing some side ops and regular missions until something happens?

Side ops

You'll see. Sadly it's also the sign of unfinished-ness of the game.

But do that and watch all the cutscenes. You'll see why.

Alright I'll try. I mean I liked the hospital mission alot, but not alot as in replayable XD

Report back after you're done. We'll tell you where to find the missing stuff.

Alright so now I did every mission and the second time I did the quiet and the hospital mission.

Only this time I just shot her in the face instead, I never bothered with her anyway.

But now there are literally no missions anymore. Did I do wrong to kill quiet? Or do I just keep on doing sideops?

The game story ends at Quiet Exit and the hospital revisit, rest is just filler stuff.

Apart from that, did you found some specific room on Medical Platform?

AFAIR it ends @ mission 50 or so. The later episodes (and like half of Chapter 2 in general) were obviously supposed to look different and be proper missions, but Kojima run out of time, money and Konami patience. So if You're done I can link You 3 things You should probably watch to have full understanding. One of these is a missing game ending, "Kingdom of the Flies".

For the sake of clarification, did you do Truth - The Man Who Sold The World?

So that's it? What happend to the girl with the gas mask and that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ kid that stole the robot? Is this literally the end? I'm only on 47% how can the story already end there? Is the other 53% side ops?

Yes. Also, pro tip - spoiler tags.

*Guy. The person in the gas mask isn't a girl.

Sadly, yeah, "that's it". The game is unfinished. That's why I told you to report back when you're done, so I can show you the ending that didn't made it into the game while it definetly should.

Game completion is main story threads completion, side ops completion, tapes listened ratio and collectibles rate. The tapes contain plenty of valuable story material - listen to them dude.

NO. There are two versions of this mission. The TRUTH version, you unlock last, and doesn't feature the actual horse-boss fight.

That's a BOY in a gas mask. I think he goes on to become Psycho Mantis.
The kid was supposed to be the end boss fight, but they scrapped that mission. The cutscenes for that mission is still available online in an unfinished state, though.

Yup, that's the one. And yeah, you finished the game's main story, about as abrupt of an ending as it gets.

Unfortunately, the Eli subplot nevers gets any proper closure in-game, which is one of the points of criticism I have towards the game. If you want some closure on the Eli subplot, you could watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvsjeJJ5Ad4 About as close to an official ending as you'll get on that. I'm not really sure why they decided to leave the Eli subplot as is, I'm assuming the dev team were simply rushed by Konami to get the game out. Honestly, I kinda understand why this ending was cut (do we really need yet another battle against Sahelanthropus?) but I would've prefered any sort of closure over what we got in the end.

The remaining percentage consists of a few things, such as remaining side-ops and animal collection. I want to say optional mission objectives also count towards that percentage number, but don't quote me on that.

Multiplayer ending you'll never see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQgcOajn0RE
The open-to-interpretation fan-made ending that ties together stories between games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trxScwgqlUU

Also a lot of the stuff is clear if you know MGS saga story (Liquid Snake, Huey Emmerich, etc)

Also, one of the reasons why the game was unfinished and why Konami are broken limp d!cks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziwuudqfLxY
