Yo I am just popping in to say

Since today is my birthday and I had put my birthday in to the game at the beginning, I got this ridiculous special cutscene after a mission where Kaz and Ocelot sang me this weird "Happy Birthday" song.

It was the weirdest fucking thing, but also fucking hilarious. I wish I had been recording or streaming or something.

I really hate the free roam aspect and the world in general. Motherbase is empty as fuck with nothing to do and the map is just rocks and weeds with a few shacks.

A lot of missions involve riding the clunky horse that stops for tiny fucking rocks, all the way across the map. Which is just rocks.

I enjoy the actual gameplay though.

I just spend way too much time figuring out a preferred point of insertion, and then by that time the guards are all "Alright time to shuffle around after you've dicked around too long watching our routes."

I guess that puts way more replayability aspects into the game as opposed to say MGS3's "this is where you go in from and this is where you leave."

Also FUCKING

If you finish a mission while wounded, sometimes Snake will have an IV drip going on in the chopper and he looks toked out.

This sniper duel isn't quite as intense as the one with The End.

Horse is pretty fucking clunky.

Also man I am bad at video games. I managed to wipe the... East Comm Station I think it was, though, with a combination of delayed/body shot sleep darts, GLORIOUS SMOKE-RUSH CQC and a few disgusting rifle kills.

I'm sad nonlethal weapons are still uncool in comparison to the lethal and much more varied amount of weaponry.

I'm not having any issues with the horse controls.

They're absolutely fine for me, I think the biggest complaint I have so far is that there doesn't really seem to be much difficulty to it.

Kinda saw the story coming though.

Gotta wait for your first base defense.

I just had a botched mission, came in all geared up for some non lethal rubber bullet times. And ended up walking out of an airfield covered in blood and almost everyone dead.

Man I don't know what the fuck, I'm such a bad shot with the AR. I put my red dot on their head, and then I end up having to frantically fill them full of lead while simultaneously trying not to blow all of my suppressor.

I think I'm a better shot with my stupid fuckin' pistol. Like, I did my first actual-character-boss-fight with that thing, often making shots from like 100m with that thing.

Is there like a decent long range, suppressed stun/tranq weapon that I can find somewhere or am I stuck trying to awkwardly pop guys from my pistol the whole time? Also do suppressors ever get better, I'm kinda tired of calling in a supply drop to give me a new one after like fucking every encounter.

Okay, tested the LTL primary rifle.

It's not much better than the Riot SMG, because it still can't deal with helmets.

It drops them in less body shots, but you're taking up a primary slot.

ALSO:

No suppressor.

Might be okay in boss fights if you're going for the LTL approach, maybe.

There isn't any story spoilers or anything in this thing, just recounting a cool mission that I enjoyed. Uh if you're in turbo spoilers avoidance mode avoid I guess.
Spoiler:
So there's one timed mission where you run around killing APCs and oh my god it was amazing. I galloped around in the night like Paul Revere with a rocket launcher slung over my shoulder and a grenade launcher on my hip, riding circles around huge armored trucks fucking their shit up. Also there was this one bit where I horsed through a checkpoint and ran into like three guys, so I nade launchered the first and then headshot his buddy through the smoke cloud with my pistol while still in reflex mode, then rode forward, got spotted by the third guy way the fuck on the right, hiding in a tent around some crates and shit, and then snap fired a bullet through his skull too. 999/10.
Also I'm pretty... mmmostly sure shit stays broken if you blow it up. Most of the radio banks I've killed have stayed broken, I think, though a few things -might- have repaired -maybe-. It's entirely possible I'm just retarded and didn't blow them up right the first time.

Just finished a mission where I had to extract a guy, called in the chopper and was on route to the extraction point. Botch the exfiltrate like I always do. Running through the forest, being hounded by angry guards running out of ammo for all my weapons. They eventually corner me and all hope seems lost Suddenly I hear DMX screaming "BITCH PLEASE!" as rockets crash into the enemy.

'X Gon Give it to Ya' is playing while chopper is doing attack runs is a beautiful sight.

AA Radar stays exploded. The radios you find on desks and shit are repaired after a while, but it's still pretty long. I'm not sure about communications antenna, but I think they might stay destroyed?

Also I'm still using Ride of the Valkyries for my chopper music. It's really dumb, since I've literally never used it for support fire or to drop zoned on top of assholes or anything. Gotta find cooler music, but I can't find anything good. Where can I loot something hilarious?
