When does the story start?

[Habi]

So far I'm on main mission 17 or so, and the story really hasn't started. It's just go here extract nobody #37392, go rescue this prisoner I don't care about, blah blah blah.

While the gameplay is solid, these missions don't feel like main missions. What mission does the story get going as I'm starting to get bored? Story wise it feels like I'm playing something like Just Cause 2 i.e there is no story.

Thanks.

It's quite funny because mission 18 is when it startys to kick in. For me anyways.

I feel the same way, and I"m on mission 17. I just hope it gets better later, because yeah, the gameplay is some of the best, but the storyline is nearly nonexistent at this point.

Story?

Maybe if you listened to the cassette tapes and got into the MGS storyline, you'd have plenty of story material.

Thanks, hope you're right. I'm at the point where I'm forcing myself to play. There are times when I just leave the game running idle because I can't be bothered to start the next mission when it's just another nameless prisoner rescue or something.

Yes, story. The thing MGS is known for. So far, revengeance had a better story than MGSV. At least it had one.

I listen to ALL the cassette tapes as soon as I get them. I have played every MGS game except 4 as I never got a PS3. But I read up what happened in it. So far, story wise, MGSV is lacking. Unless of course it kicks in a little later. Which is what I'm asking in this thread. That weather I should keep playing or not.

Cassette tapes are a poor way to bring across a story. Sorry, but that should have stayed with Peace Walker. I prefer actual character models and directing to voices on a tape.
