Episodes Repeating not Happy!

[ServiusTheBear]

Not happy that the game is re using missions to extend the game. I want to continue the story not redo an early episode on a higher diff...... Not a good way of doing this game in my view.

Not a troll, I literally have 0 new side ops to complete, they all have ticks in them yet I still have to do these repeat missions. Plus side ops can't be repeated till you finish the story.

I see, i never completed all of the side ops before, so by the time i started doing a lot of them is when i have completed the main story.

Well, try smoking cigars in the open world, maybe it will get you back on the cutscene.
Oh also, listen to the yellow marked tapes, that has something to do with the stories progression i think.

So is this about those side ops that appear multiple times over or is he saying the same main missions simply keep repeating?

I beat the story long time ago, 160+ hours later I still havn't done most of the total stealth or extreme missions. you don't have to do them to continue with the story

I dont want to be forced to repeat missions. I want to continue the story. These repeats are not fun at all. If they wanted to do that with the levels then they should have given the option to while the original missions came up. Chapter two should not have repeats. In it. Oh and to answer your third question it is BAD! They were lazy and did not make any more missions so decided to fill them out with repeats!

So are you saying that at some point the game just gives you the 100% exact same mission that you played earlier on a higher difficulty? Are you talking about story line missions? they are exactly the same but harder? I hope not, that would be the most retarded thing to do. At what point does this happen? I'm on main mission 13 and did about 30 side missions.

It happens after mission 31. You get three main missions, one is new and two is repeat. One you have to do without any gear, weapon, buddies or supply drop etc, and one is without reflex mode and chicken hat, I'm not sure more. The two missions you have to replay is the mission 4 or 5, and mission 9, the one with killing 7 armored vehicles in 15 minutes.

There is a few more after that that repeat also; including Traitors Caravan Extreme and Footprints of Phantoms.

none of which you have to do to progress the story. Just make sure you've listened to all the tapes with a yellow marker next to them and play a few side ops or even free roam, next few times you leave the mission area the next story mission should be available... Visiting Mother Base might even trigger events.

Wow, thanks for letting me know that.

Three things:

1) the extra repeat modes should be available for all missions, like hard mode in zeores
2) chapter 2 feels very weak, unfinished and rushed
3) There is a lot missing in the story 8see mission 51 that was cut)

I wouldn't call one extra mission and one boss fight that would have ended with no conclusion anyway a lot, but to each their own.

Hello guys, I was doing the mission 46 (prologue mission with different cutscenes) but at the end, after the report, i get stuck in a blackscreen and can't go back to motherbase. Any solution? Don't wanna lose my 30hours and 60% savegame.

Is there any fix or can someone upload for me a savegame around that mission? Thanks.

[ServiusTheBear]

EP - 39 - [Total Stealth] Over the Fence - Repeat EP 5 on Stealth only win.

You're right, I expected the game's strong point would be the story.
It isn't bad at all as it explains a lot related to the series in general, but it doesn't feel as epic as in older games of the main series.

It'd be great if those repeated main missions were just side ops, right?
*You're not forced to do them
*They don't add much more to the story because you played them before

just go do some side quest..

But you are required to do repetitive side ops which is basically the same thing. Let's not beat it around the bush, Chapter 2 is a damn mess, it contains 3-4 actual missions which aren't much different from side ops and the story is a lakcluster leading to more questions than answers.
This is an unfinished game and I wonder how a game in such a state got 10/10 from soo many publications.

[ServiusTheBear]

Well I have given up this game as I am confused as hell. Because Chapter two is a mess of Repeat missions and what I think is some! story missions but. After doing a the Truth mission nothing else is poping up and am not in the mood to do side missions. I have sped time up but nothing new comes up.

Shame this game started great for me now its really not worth my time.

Also hearing chapter 3 was ripped out of the game to has just tipped the scales to. Sorry but this just killed the MGS Series for me.......

[PineAppleCawks]

1) the option should be given to play these modes on ALL MISSIONS
2) this was a weak tactic to try and bulk up the play time. VERY WEAK, im all for replaying missions at a harder difficulty but not like this.
3) if your going to force me to replay missions get rid of the CUT SCENES I HAVE ALREADY SEEN and now make ABSOLUTELY no sense to the story line.
4) most frustrating- people keep saying just play the side missions and u dont have to do these. not in my game. EVERY side mission is completeted and the only main missions left to play are the repeats

[Filthy Cur]

Listen to the yellow highlighted tapes, and do any yellow high lighted side-ops. Those two are required to advance the story, they could of done a better job pointing that out.

I listened to all the tapes anyways, the Kazuhira's Hamburger tapes were great.

I think they could of spent more time on the meat of the game, felt like there was more side content than there was main content.
