A10 can only hear party chat not the game. I just got them today, and I was testing them out. But I couldn't hear my friends unless I have my audio to chat audio only. So I can't hear the game while I'm playing with them. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Having Audio problems (A10 Headset) I can't hear out of the right side of my headset. I've plugged the cord all the way in until i heard the click and it's still not working. I've had this headset for a while now and im not sure if i should get a new cord or headset. If someone could help me out that would be amazing!

Xbox series X Astro a40 with mix amp and Astro HDMI Splitter setup? I have just bought a pair of a40 s with the mix amp and HDMI splitter and was wondering how to set this all up, I ve searched everywhere and can t find anything thorough enough I ve connected the mix amp to the pc and already updated the firmware to the latest one and also added a preset specially for warzone in the number 1 present. I ve connected the hdmi splitter and the optical cable and everything is all connected. So what settings do I need to have on within the Xbox settings? Also, do I use the Dolby option or the star option on the mix amp as I m unsure which is best to use for warzone Thank you

Astro, shutting down a thread warning new owners about poor next gen quality is absolutely NOT the way to go. Here's the thread Instead of shutting down the thread, how about you improve your product? Shutting down the thread just shows that you absolutely know the quality is poor and you're trying to squash any dissent. This is horrible customer service.

How can I use a headset microphone for both the ps4 and pc I'm going to buy an astro a40 tr and I heard that you can connect it with a pc and ps4 at the same time, but you need seperate microphones. Can you use an USB splitter and connect it to both devices at the same time?

New Headset headphone recommendation I m currently upgrading from A40 s w mix amp (2013). Was looking at the newest A40 s tr but also heard that some people dislike the newer gen. Any other brand recommendation that is equal and or better than in terms of gaming and sound quality?

Dramatic drift surges on c40 As the title says, im experiencing DRAMATIC drift whenever i use one of my c40 sticks. It appears, when i hook the old girl up to the software, that the analog has random spurts, as well as almost entire sections when doing a full 360 test dont even register. Ive cleaned it recently, done resets, and nothing seems to be effective for more than id say a minute. If its any help, its my primary move stick, left side. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated as i love this controller to death and am frustrated when she acts up. Kind regards, True

Astro A50 (Gen 3) Xbox Series X amp Windows Sonic (and other sound formats) Seeking some clarity the setup instructions mention using Dolby Atmos for the A50 on Series X is that they only spatial audip that works with the usb only setup or does Windows Sonic work and I just don't have EQ settings anymore? On a related note does the base station's built in dolby work with the USB only connection on Series X? Finally if I use optical directly to my TV can I use Dolby Atmos over HDMI and will that then be sent to my headphones over optical or does that not work that way? Thanks for any help on this!

HDMI adapter for next gen help So I've bought the HDMI adapter for PS5 but I'm using it on Series X because I heard it works. I'm not finding much difference with or without the adapter... When using the adapter which presents does the headset use? Atmos or Command centre? What the best way to use the adapter? Thanks all help appreciated.

My Astro A50 for PlayStation won t charge and the Dolby button won t work I bought them about 3 years ago and I m pretty sure the battery is just dead dead because they won t charge, the led won t turn on either when trying to charge, I put them on the doc and the lighting bolt flashes red and the battery symbol to show headset life is blinking red no matter what position I put it in, they don t have a battery thing pop up when using a charger for it. I tried to update them but it keeps saying error. I tried to let fully die but nothing. I tried to put on base doc to charge all night and nothing. I can t find anyone who will change the battery and Best Buy geek squad won t do it. I don t know what to do as I love the headset and it is the best one I ever had. (Blue Astro A50 for PlayStation)

Astro A40 TR Mixamp Pro Xbox One S Microphone Not Working I have the A40 TR and mixamp pro (the white one). Everything is connected correctly, I've watched about 10 different set up videos multiple times, read multiple user guides and trouble shooting guides, made sure it's in console mode and not muted, its recognized on my console, assigned to my profile and controller, tested the mic on both sides of the headset, firmware is up to date, tested on every USB port on my console. The microphone will not work when its connected to my xbox. I've tested it with my phone, made a call and they could hear me perfectly. The only time I've seen the mic work is when it gets feedback from being plugged in unplugged. What am I doing wrong?

Sound drop out only on usb? So I had been having a random split second drop out of sound on pc, I have since connected my tv via optical to the same base station, the pc via optical does not drop sound every 20 30mins like it does on usb. When it happens via usb the base station lights go out for a split second aswell. Could the usb connection on my base station be faulty?

No audio from Astro A50's after firmware update for Xbox Series X. Hi, I've done a fair bit of troubleshooting to get them to work and tried most things. But still no audio. My xbox recognised the headset with the " Headset assigned" notification and the dolby program seems to recognise the headset via my xbox. But no audio, the other thing I can hear through them is myself through the mic? Any ideas, they are brand new out the box today? Update 1 So it seems my Astros work on my pc via the USB but still nothing on my xbox series x

Can you turn the light off on the mixamp pro I bought some a40 and I like them but the lights from the headset are too bright in my room. Is it possible to lower the brightness? It s on a work laptop so I can t use the software if their is any

Astro A50 Connect Box optical Cable I have the Astro A50 Gen.4 done it like this, the USB cable in the XSX and the optical cable in the Connect Box from the TV GQ75Q90R from Samsung, but I have the problem that when I switch games on the Xbox it is the headset Every time off and the base station goes to stereo and the lamps fade until they can be heard completely ... only when I pull the power cord from the Astro base station and plug it in again, it works again, I've gone ... original optical cable and tried others, unfortunately always that Problem. The headset is also not defective. The headset and the base station are not defective either, I lost them, but the problem remains. Of course, I can only sell the headset via USB, but it didn't matter how I choose the sound settings, whether Atmos or DTS, the sound just isn't for me, the lack of it belongs in my opinion completely . Maybe someone can help me here or has the same problem

Help with my Astro a40 TR headset and mixamp on Series X? So I have the white Astro a40 TR headset with mixamp. I have my mixamp fully updated but when I plug it in my series x via usb voice chat and game sound is supposed to work. I can only seem to hear my buddies in a party and talk but I hear no game sound. I have the Dolby app, my settings are correct, Ive followed multiple guides on youtube and here in reddit. I cant seem to get any game sound, so I have resorted to plugging my headset directly into my controller. I cant use my mixamp... Does anyone have any clue why that is? Could it be im using some old usb to plug it in? I ordered a new one from Astro and im hoping this will fix my issue, It sucks i have a 300 headset and the mixamp is useless. It works fine, ive been using it on my xbox one, but on my series x theres no optical audio obviously. If anyone has anything that i can try, I would really appreciate it!!

Any fixes for my A40 Tr mixamp pro? I have had these headphones for about a day now and for some reason the audio in the headphones get a lot of static like noises after an hour or so of use and the only solution I have been able to workout is to just restart my PC all together and the headphones audio is back to normal for about another hour or so again. Not talking about mic to be clear but the actual hearing.

Wasn't happy with sound on Gen 4 A50s so I re read ASTRO setup instructions I have A50s, PS5 COD Coldwar and LG C7 OLED with optical out. One part in the setup instructions that I noticed that I had missed was adjusting the Audio Output to Chat only. I thought that I had found the better sound, and it was. It was softer, but to me, clearer with better footstep location etc. PROBLEM It introduced about 300 500ms lag now and is unplayable. I tried all of the different settings in the TV and it is set up to TV Speaker Optical out and AUTO instead of PCM. Has anyone experienced this and have a workaround? I have had to go back to 'All Audio' and it sounds muddy. Please help, I don't know what else to do!

Can anyone get Dolby Atmos to work on the A50 Gen 3? On the Black Ops Cold War "helpful hints" that flash along the bottom of the screen, it says that they recommend Dolby Atmos (I'm on a PC, by the way). I've heard people saying that Atmos is really great in terms of 3D sound, but I cannot tell the difference between Atmos and regular 2.1 stereo. Some possible explanations are that I don't have Atmos properly configured on my PC, or maybe the Gen 3s aren't Atmos compatible. Here's my current configuration Switched Output from "Headphones (Astro A50 Game)" to "Headphones (Astro A50 Voice)" Atmos won't enable if I don't do this step Opened the Dolby Access app and configured Atmos for "Headphones (Astro A50 Voice)" Pushed the DTS button on the side of the headphones and verified that it was off via the A50 charging base. So like I said, I'm either missing a step or the Gen 3s just aren't compatible with Dolby Atmos. Was wondering if some of the fine folks in this sub could shed some light on the subject. Thanks in advance.

Astro A40TR with mix Amp Pro Gen 4 not working as advertised with Xbox Series X After updating to latest firmware through command center yesterday I attempted to use my Astro A40TR with mix amp pro. The sound is very muffled with a slight static white noise. I have been reading through these posts on people with the same problem. This set is advertised to work with the Xbox Series X but does not. Is there any type of fix for this problem other than spending more money on a HDMI audio extracted with an optical output?

Headset connected, won t sync not working? I just got a pair of astro a20 headsets a few weeks ago for my series x and i noticed that sometimes it would disconnect but i would just unplug and plug back in the USB to reconnect but this time my headset won t resync no matter what i do. My xbox says the headsets are connected but they aren t. Firmware is updated i think and I haven t found a good answer

Xbox Series X Astro Gen 3 a50 question? I plan on hooking my Astro Gen 3 a50's up to my Samsung QLED via the optical from base station to TV and if I'm understanding that is the BEST way, sound wise? Now, will my other devices hooked up to my TV (such as my Mac MI Mini and PC) which are connected via HDMI, play out of the earphones too or will those play through my TV speakers?

Why does mgs3 frame drop so often on ps3 Like at several points in the game it yust tanks the warehouse with sokolov,groznygrad,whenever some explosion is happening close to you like i dont get how can the ps3 run god of war 2 in consistent 60 fps but cant do the same for a 2004 game and no nothing is wrong with ps3

Blue point and the MGS remake I really hope this rumor isn't true. The game that needs an update for current gen is Metal Gear, then Metal Gear 2. Let's talk about remaking MGS after we've remade the games that actually need a remake. And MGS remake is as obnoxious a concept as a TLOU remake.
44
Can we remake MG2 like the new DQ3 remake? Curious to see what people thought of the idea. I honestly love it. MG2 and its sprites still hold up IMO they just look and feel old. I think seeing them in 3D environments would do a lot to freshen them up. I also think the 3D environments would get a lot more use in an action genre instead of JRPG. You'd get a better sense of space and such. It won't happen unless the art style becomes a craze but it'ss fun to think about. And discuss.

Ive been trying for literal years to beat mission 12. Its the mission where you get big boy mech dude and the bigger mech chases after you and you have to escape, i can get in undetected and out to where the helicopter spawns, i just dunno how to get away from the mech and what to do from there

Do outfits make a difference in the phantom pain? I started playing recently and i spent more mony on outfits than anything else, i noticed that one of the outfits makes me invisible to thermal vision but do some outfits makes it easier than other to get spotted? Like i'm a wearing a Tuxedo in a desert instead of camo, will it make stealth harder? I'm struggling with the stealth, this game made me realize how terrible i am at planning.

Metal Gear Solid 5 and Vermon Cataffy (massive spoilers) 1. The V on the box art refers to Venom, which guess what? Sounds like Vermon. 2. "V has come to." Vermon has come to. 3. If you blurr your eyes, Vermon looks like Venom. 4. You fight Vermon Cataffy in MG1 on the NES while Big Boss is on MSX. Vermon is Venom. The phantom. V means 5, also means Peace, Victory, V for Venom, and V for Vermon Cataffy. The only thing that disappoints me is that we never see Venom in the ending say "Call me Vermon..." To mimic what Big Boss said at the end of Peace Walker. "Call me Big Boss..." Edit Reddit is fun likes to put 1, 2, 3, 4 as 1, 2 and then 1, 2 again and idk how to change it. Stupid feature if you ask me. If you mention that the NES version isn't canon, no shit basically. It's not "canon" in the same way that Vermon Venom isn't the real Big Boss. NES, in Metal Gear, is the phantom "world." Phantom Outer Heaven (mother base), phantom Big Boss (Vermon Venom), and it's also the phantom copy of the game.

How impossibly strong is The Boss? When she ambushes Jack and shoots up his plane thingy, she has near total control over the gun despite holding it with one hand and firing it fully automatically. There's almost no recoil for her. But when Jack uses it in NG (with both hands) the recoil just fucks of too Calcutta. Can somebody do the math to figure out how insanely strong The Boss is?

Did anyone play metal gear survive and actually like it? What I m asking is are there redeeming features or is it actually as bad as the critics say it is?

What do you think happens to snake after MGS4? Konami doesn t give a shit so i doubt we ll ever get a definitive answer but what do you think snake does after the end of MGS4. i know that Snake s fox die has been postponed blocked, and he is ageing, but do you think the new nano machines could keep him alive? It also said that in his physical condition he should not be able to walk... do you think he will settle down or keep helping Otacon or something? EDIT spelling

Question about FOB infiltration Hello everyone I've been playing Metal Gear Solid V for a while now and recently unlocked all the online FOB stuff. I don't understand much of it but all I know at the moment is that you can infiltrate other player's motherbase and they can do the same too. So my question is Do you become OP and unkillable once you are very high level? I'm asking this because recently while I was playing the game, a player infiltrated my motherbase. I tried so hard to kill him (literally sprayed till I had no ammo left and also hit him with rocket launcher twice) but he just wasn't dying even after all that. The player easily bullied me the whole time, killing me and waiting for me to respawn and then killing me again instantly, till there was only 2 3 minutes left in the timer. After that the guy just left taking so many of my staff and resources. Later I checked his ranks and both of his Espionage rank and PF ranks were in 3 digit numbers while both of my ranks are in 6 digit numbers. So is it level difference that made him so OP?
44
Can somebody explain the Snake Eater controls? My god I can t even get past the first set of guards bc the game doesn t explain what the controls are. Little help? Playing on Xbox if that helps

Do you think Snake and Otacon are the most iconic duo in MGS? Do you think Snake and Otacon are the most iconic duo in mgs? Or is there another duo you think is MORE iconic?

The ID Haven concept in MGS4 So I'm currently playing MGS4 for the first time and I recently just watched the scene in which the concept of Digital ID could be a mainstay in society. The idea that all our information we've given to the world and our personal ideas (our memes) are set in stone with our identity like a digital tattoo, an artificial gene, in the future is something I can totally see and something I've personally thought about before. I feel like that's were our future would likely head. All our social media (internet presence) being worn on our sleeves in our daily society does seem like the next stage in social evolution within the digital age but it also seems like a dystopian nightmare, which is exactly why a ID Haven for rich folks makes so much sense. Why wouldn't rich people create shadows to hide their undesired personality traits from public light which normal folk wouldn't be allowed to do. I just found this as such an interesting concept, I couldn't help but share and ask you fellow fans about this concept, especially those of you whom played MGS4 before.
44
Your unpopular opinions for metal gear solid. Unpopular opinions My is that mgs 1 is very good but hasn't aged as well as a lot people think. Mgs 1 is more of an action came than a stealth game. Hideo kojima direction might be better than his writing.

Metal Gear Games on Sale PC Humble bundle MGS games are on sale right now on humble bundle so if you're looking for revengeance or V on pc now is not a bad time to pick it up.
44
A quick update from yesterday's MGS V server issue From what I can see it's now been fixed and you'll once again be able to use your online resources and FOBs are open once again and when you start the game again it'll ask to once again accept the terms and conditions. Enjoy infiltrating those FOBs everyone.

The tranquilizer makes the game too easy Hi all. So I've been replaying MGS2, 3 and 5 without the tranq and I think its much more fun this way. The tranquilizer makes the game too easy. You can shoot guard anywhere and they won't be too disturbed about it. Because of that, you have a lot of a target to shoot even from a long distance. Give it enough time and they fall to the ground to sleep (which lasts longer than being stunned). If another guard finds them like this, they just wake them up. Compare this with using a regular gun you have to aim for the head. You have to hide the body. If you miss, the guard will definitely know. If another guard finds the body, they'll be looking for you. Compare this with CQC or punch punch kick. You have to stealthy creep up and knock them out. I think it's way more satisfying this way. You can still fulton people and get a non lethal rank.

MGS PW Accidentally skipped message after beating Pupa 3rd time As the title implies, I accidentally skipped a message that popped up after I had beaten Pupa for the 3rd time as I m trying to get Head Components. I know that it said something about Cassette Tape 1 , but looking for that online and in game there s no reference to a Cassette Tape 1 anywhere. Does someone remember what it said? I don t want to miss out on any details.

METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER ONLINE. DOES ANYONE STILL PLAY? Just wondering if there is still a community for Peace Walker that play online and want to do Co Op runs, Monster Hunter missions and VS?
44
What to do after you've done it all? (MGSV) I've always loved doing little mini challenges in games missions I love. Like trying to do missions with no Camo, Using only specific weapons, etc. So I was wondering if anyone else on here has any challenges for missions that you've done or you've been curious about doing, whether you think it might be impossible or not. I once challenged my friend to fight Sahelanthropus using only D Walker and they did it. I didn't really think it'd be possible. Once I did personally was fighting Sahelanthropus with only the Tornado Revolver. So honestly I really would love to try any challenges anyone can think of!

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Vita or Legacy collection ps3? I enjoy the novelty of owning the game on vita, but would the controls noticeably diminish my experience compared to the ps3 version? Looking to play through the series for the first time after replaying metal gear v.

Thoughts on MGS3 on the 3DS? I mean I already have HD collection and Subsistence but I want to know if this version of the game is any different. I already have the Circle Pad Pro so I could buy the game and play it right now.
44
just started playing MGS 3 on the ps2 I heard great things about this game. how its the best in the series or that its one of the best ps2 games but I've been playing this game for a while now(just got to where sokolov is being kept) and the games controls feels terrible. How you aim guns feels slow. the camera feels like you never see everything your supposed to see in any moment. am I just supposed to get used to this or am I just bad?
44
I have a question about Metal Gear Solid 5 I've never played any MGS games, but I'm thinking about playing NGS 5. The question is if I have a gun with a silencer, can I just head shot every enemy silently? In every video I've seen player is sneaking and non lethal "removing" every enemy. Why would I non lethal remove enemies if I can shoot them into the head with a gun? Or is it just loud even with a silencer?

How to use the Masterkey custom part on M4 Custom MGS4? Question is exactly as the title implies. I added the masterkey custom part to the M4 custom Drebin gives Snake, but I don't exactly know how to switch to shotgun mode? Can someone help, pls? Thanks
44
May be an unpopular opinion, but... I played through the entire legacy collection and finished MGS4 a few days ago. Having already played both GZ and TPP, they were what got me into the series, I decided to play through the game in chronological order, not release order. Started with 3, replayed V on the way through, ended with 4. I thought 4 s conclusion was a fantastic ending and don t think I would ve had the same satisfaction ending with V. Now I don t know about anyone else, but I think everyone saying that release order is the only way to experience the games is wrong. Yes you are jumping across console generations, but allegedly outdated gameplay did not bother me the entire way through. Every game was a masterpiece in its own way, even 4 regardless of its flaws, and the MGS games have become my favourite game series ever. Just thought I d share my opinion and read some others.
44
Played The Twin Snakes recently and liked it but there were some problems I had with the game I like the twin snakes I felt like it was a good remake gameplay wise and graphically...but I have some issues with the game. My first issue of the entire game was the fact that almost everyone didn't really give a shit about it when voice acting the only ones that seemed to give a shit were David Hayter, Rob Paulsen, Cam Clarke, Patric Zimmerman, and Doug Stone everyone else could care fucking less lol and and even then it felt like only Cam Clarke was giving his best (Those Snake yells especially in the Hind still gives me goosebumps) Another issue I gave with the game is the fact that there were too many unnecessary flips I mean Snake flipping over Ocelot's bullet was unnecessary, The Gray Fox fight scene was fine(in fact every Gray Fox scenes are fine that hallway scene, Baker room scene, Death Scene were all top tier), that rocket scene was cool but unnecessary lol, that sniper wolf 360 quick scope scene was also cool but unnecessary, Snake flipping to get to the other side of the wall was just so unnecessary, Liquid casually flipping while talking was also cool but unnecessary, Snake jumping and flipping towards Rex was stupid. My third problem with this game is that the bosses were WAYYYYYYYYY too easy I'm guessing because since it's just basically Mgs 1 the game becomes practically easy because it has Mgs 2 mechanics but the bosses were way too easy I'd recommend playing the game on Hard difficulty rather then Normal. My fourth problem I have with this game is the music literally everyone of them sucked except B2 and Psycho Mantis Theme. My Final problem with the game are the unnecessary comedic relief scenes. That Ocelot scene gets a pass(the dude just got his arm chopped off and it wasn't planned give him a break lol), Snake going crazy because Baker forgot Meryl's frequency is retarded, Snake punching the guy who was on fires face after he blew him up was stupid, Snake getting hit in the neck and moving was cool but completely stupid, Sniper Wolf feeling up on snake and Ocelot whistling was fine but her doing that jerking motion when she got pissed at ocelot was just..........stupid. All in all I'd give the game a 7 10 I like the game but you have to admit there were things that game didn't need. If you want good voice acting play the OG but if you don't like it because of the Graphics or Gameplay or whatever just play TTS I highly recommend it. Also for people arguing over weather it's canon or not yes you can consider TTS canon I guarantee if you play that game and go to 2 next you're not gonna see any changes towards the major plot
44
I have a singular question about the story I have played mgs 3 and only mgs 3 and I m planning on playing mgs1 soon and even though i know it s not necessary to know to enjoy the game I would still like for someone to give me a quick briefing on what happened in between those two points
44
What gave the developers the decision to change the series name from Metal Gear to Metal Gear Solid ? I know the original Metal Gear Solid is one of the greatest and most influential video games of all time since 1998 to this day, but why was the franchise s name changed? Wasn t it called simply Metal Gear before MGS1 came out? Why was Solid added? Was there any specific reason for that?
44
I just finished MGS Twin Snakes and loved it This was my first ever playthrough of MGS1. So after reading all this time that TTS was shit and the original was the only way to play the game with dignity, I finally got around to play it on Dolphin since for whatever reason ePSXe runs terrible on any phone I use. I even got the original PSX soundtrack patch (fairly recent if you didn't know it existed ) and what can I say? I had an utter blast. Cinematics were both amazingly fluid and also hilarious, the voice acting was great (Jennifer Hale I love you) and overall having all those things people complain about like the m9 and first person view was a godsend. You have trouble deciding between original or TTS? Go TTS my guys. You'll love it.

(Spoilers) for missions and possible solutions Real title WHY DID THEY HAVE YOU GO UP AGAINST A GODAMN METAL GEAR IN MISSION 10 Well I just wanted to provide my solutions for missions 8 10 and 13 Well for mission 8 go to the road leading into the mission area and stop around the curve just past the guard tower and just place a whole hellalot of c4 (you can ask for drops and you can have a lot of c4 down if you place and ask for a drop at your location) along the path for a while (should be spaced out in clumps of about 4 to 5 or however much you can fit together for about how far the convoy is spaced) and go down the road far enough for ocelot to ask you what you re doing then you can go and hide along the path as this will cause the tanks to start moving then once the leading tank goes over the last clump of c4 you just start hitting the buttons to blow it up and don t stop until you can t explode any more and it should work (it may take a little trial and error in the spacing) Mission 10 (specifically sehalthropist) it s up to you to avoid him until he loses you (hiding in one of the warehouses should work) but once he does let him start patrolling the landing place then just ask the chopper to go to the other landing spot and wait for sehalanthropist to go over there,it ll take him a minute or two but this works to your advantage as the next step is to bring the helicopter back once the big metal bastard (I got tired of spelling his name) gets to the helicopter and stops running around you can call the helicopter back and you should be able to get on and let the mission play as it should Mission 13 this one doesn t have the child soldiers but in terms of the oil factory you only really need to worry about the oily water separator as you can just blow up the tank with a rocket but do not I REPEAT DO NOT BLOW UP THE TANK FIRST this will cause the whole area to go into alert status and mess the run up but to get the the separator you just need to use a pipe on the waterfront to get in and just use the tranq gun and box and you should be able to get to the separator and just retrace your steps to get out them just pop a cherry flavored rocket into the tank from a safe spot away from the base and mimic your favorite western and ride d horse into the sunrise sunset depending on when you did this (I would suggest night). For some reason these all gave me S ranks even though 2 3rds of them involved explosives If any of you have solutions for the gunsmith I d love to hear them

Does the series want you to kill or not? An analysis I'm well aware of Metal Gear not just being a good guy bad guy series, half of the games border on the gray area sometimes being outright black. What i'm confused about is the inconsistency of each game in wanting me to kill or not. MGS1, 2 and 4 are simple, you're the good guy wanting to stop the evil man. Getting the Big Boss rank means killing as few people as possible or none at all depending on the game. This is supposed to reinforce the fact that your actions earned you the same distinction as Big Boss. It doesn't feel out of the ordinary that this legendary man who seldom shows up in these games was a perfect spy. These game's events are centred around his name and it's a very Kojima thing to imply what a character is rather than show. The inconsistency comes when you remember that there were the MSX games, which had no rank when they were first released (they do now in rereleases). Big Boss was an actual character and already had his "soldiers without borders" personality. You're telling me not killing people gives me the same prestigious rank as this traitor who's potentially killed plenty? This fact about his body count might not even be true depending on how you play. Then comes MGS3, PO, PW and V, The "fall" of Big Boss. This fall can be symbolized by him holding a tranq gun and knife in cutscenes before sticking to an assault rifle in later games. Again, sparing people and fultoning them actively rewards you. The frustrating part comes in when V constantly slaps you in the face and beats you to the ground over being a "demon". It spends long cutscenes reminding me of this hellish war that i'm supposedly causing. It rubs the salt in my wounds when i kill my infected men even if it wasn't my fault. I can disable tons of nukes and still be considered evil. I can give kids asylum and put them under Miller's mentorship and still be evil. Am I missing something here? Is it the personal killing itself or is it because of Big Boss' decisions that CAUSED plenty to die. Could it be Big Boss just sparing everyone on the battlefield, only for him to fill it with his soldiers later? I really am receiving mixed signals here. TLDR Gameplay and story are segregated to hell and back in Metal Gear and killing people might not always be literal.

ABOUT TO FINISH SOME THOUGHTS I am almost done with the game as I am about to play the last mission. I have known the twist for a very long time now. As of now, I've developed a very love hate relationship with the game. It's a masterpiece that's confusingly amp annoyingly subpar at crucial points. Like, why the fuck are you making me replay previous story missions again to unlock the last chapter? WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU ITS A GOOD IDEA? For some reason, I don't think it was Kojima's call to create these extremely infuriating and pointless Main Mission Revisits. God, I love this game but so underwhelmed and furious by this absolutely shitty move. Relax, I am aware I am 6 years too late. But hey. I freaking love this sub and I have no one else in my immediate circle to discuss this with.

Looking to introduce my girlfriend to the series, but don't know how to play MGS1 So I thought it would be neat as a sort of summer project to play through all the games with my girlfriend. I have a PS5 so I can just use PS Now to play MG, MG2, MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, PW, and MGS5. But is there any way to play MGS(my favorite game of all time.) Without buying a PS3. Can it be emulated on a new laptop(not a gaming laptop), and if so how does changing discs and controller ports work? Any help would be appreciated.

What's with the empty FOBs in MGSV? If you go to the security challenge you can find people with ridiculous resources and staff with no defense so you can just get free resources. What do the people who do this gain from it and how did they get so many resources and staff? (I'm talking about Ps4 too because I didn't see this when I played on xbox)

FOB camera raised alarm while I m in the box? Haven t played in a long time, came back for a few invasions today. I know there is some buggy stuff on FOBs so maybe it s just a glitch but I m curious if it s a security upgrade or something I think it was a 67 or 69 level base. Passing a black security camera, it starts to see me, I hop in the box (city), wait for it to chill, didn t move, but instead of going back to its rounds it sounds the alarm Bug or feature?

Playing MGS2 on PC... whats with the pause screen? So I'm playing this game for the first time through, on PC with keyboard and mouse. What's with the pause screen? There doesn't seem to be anything except for a statement of what area I'm in, I can't even exit to the main menu. Furthermore, it doesn't seem possible to change key bindings, there isn't even a tab in the options menu for it. What do I do?

No scorecard on MGS GOG version? I'm not sure when the final scorecard appears at the end of MGS1, but I'm pretty sure it's after Naomi's speech about living with the dog sledding video playing on screen. The problem is, after one or two lines in the video abruptly cuts and goes to Ocelot's conversation with Solidus. Is there a way to fix this?

MGSV TPP Are the Tanks and APCs IFVs Highly Automatized or they have crews on hold? As everyone should know by now, you can got into the Battlefields of Afghanistan and Angola Zaire with a vehicle. You can have jeeps, trucks, and then BTR Knockoffs, IFVs, the Nosorog (A knockoff T 72 with a small IS 3 pike nose) and the Magloader (A mix of pretty much all Western MBTs). My question is, are the Vehicles that obviously need a Crew, actually Crewed with Diamond Dogs soldier and you as a TC, or are you the TC of a nigh completely Automatized Tank? Also, why in the hell can't D Dog climb into either the trucks or get into the APCs or Tanks?

Advice for dealing with the Ocelot Unit? This is my first time playing MGS3 and I've had no serious trouble until I made it to the part where the Ocelot Unit ambushes you. Is it just me, or is this part a massive difficulty spike? I know you need to enter the hatch and then take out the guys around the building along with the sniper on top of the roof, but how do I deal with the 5 guys that are always travelling together? I'm supposed to take them out "one by one" yet they never seem to split up. Is there an preferred strategy for how to deal with these guys stealthily?

Do I really need to play mgs portable ops Se time ago I bought PS3 with mgs legacy collection, and played through MGS 1 to 4 for the first time. Brilliant experience, loved every game. Now I should start MGS peace walker, but I heard that portable ops is its prequel, and apparently it's really good. But I'm not buying PSP for this series, at least for now. So should I watch entire game no YouTube and loose this experience to understand PW, or just play it in future going straight to PE for now?

wishlist end of year goal phantom pain mod that gives snake a specific "talk!" interrogation command that makes the soldier radio an all clear... But only if he's the one that radioed the alert. And if he's not, they send someone to investigate the captured enemies FOM. If the guy who radioed (radioed? That can't be right) the alert is dead asleep knocked out or extracted already then they just let it go. Cause that's a lot of voice acting. I'd like to do this myself, don't have much skill here but it doesn't seem like it'd be a terribly difficult thing to do. even if only the titled portion, as all the variables are basically in play in the game anyway. if anyone has suggestions lmk. I'm only trying to mod because of MGSV so. Beginner level here. If it's already been done all the better, I have so much studying to do already.

The Pain mgs3 e extreme boss fight problem When I beat up ocelot on my first try I thought that pain would be also easy. But Its so fucking hard and I dont know what Im doing wrong. The bug juice isnt working, I have close to no time to aim and shoot, cant avoid getting hit by a tommy gun sometimes pain throws a granate without even saying his phrase. How to fucking beat him?

I would love to have a series of Raiden stealth games, or a prequel of Liquid Snake in his early years It'll probably never happen, especially since Revengance is a thing, and with Kojima being gone any story with Big Boss or Snake probably wouldn't be up to snuff. A stealth game with ninja Raiden would be sick, There would just have to be some reason as to why Raiden isn't just tearing through everything Doom Slayer style. I would also enjoy a stealth game as a younger Liquid Snake, possibly joing FOXHOUND and building up his plans. That being said, writing a game for Liquid would be much harder since he isn't exactly a simplistic character (looking at you "I live on through this arm"). Anyone else enjoy these ideas? They're some musings I had while rewatching TeamFourStar play through all the Metal Gear games.

Can someone give me the mgs2 controls for the pc version? There is no option to view edit the controls and I am confused.Can someone give the controller config it would help a lot

does Raiden not age anymore? In MGS4 and even more so in MGR raidens body is pretty mutch all mechanical, like the only organic part of him is his head. and that made me wonder if his ageing process has stopped?

(MGS V) Is there a point to doing the repeat missions in chapter 2? I'm trying to 100 complete the game and was wondering if they count towards it. And if they don't do you get anything cool from doing them again ? Or just bragging rights and gmp? Thanks

Does Psycho Mantis read games on PC? I'm emulating MGS1 on PC and am wondering if he still reads games (that he could originally) on PC. Like, if I emulate Super Mario Sunshine on PC, will Psycho read it and say it?

So mgs V updated and ruined snakebite and the rest of my mods... The new update happened on steam and now my mods don't work, can I go to a previous version on steam?

Introducing MGSV to a friend and... He has some problems with the game. For example he doesn't get along with the hip fire reticule and I wanted to know if there is a vanilla way of making the hip fire reticule more precise. And maybe other settings to make the game easier for a stealth game newbie, other than the chicken head.

MGSV Replaying Missions 43 and 45. I am replaying MGSV for the first time in a while and I have some questions. Spoiler Alert for those who haven't played the game, but it's been 5 years so I'm assuming most of you have... If I replay Mission 43 Shining Lights, Even in Death, will I end up losing more of my men? Does it randomly select a bunch of my staff and force me to kill new staff members each time, or do I not have to worry about that and will it only make me kill the same group of staff from the first time I played this mission? I already got Quiet back as a Support Buddy after replaying Mission 11 Cloaked in Silence 7 times. If I replay Mission 45 A Quiet Exit, will I lose her again?

Metal Gear Solid 4 was needed So this is semi a response to the current hate for Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots. I feel like nowadays the MGS community is a lot more critical after the controversy of MGSV may or may not being finished. There's a lot of contention about anything post 3 and I've been hearing a lot of criticism about 4 being everything wrong with the series. But for me this was a beautiful ending to MGS 1 amp 2's storylines. I do think we sadly lost a lot of tactical espionage gameplay of 1 3. It started to be more about overall war, militias and armies which I suppose makes sense for 4 and Big Boss' story post Snake Eater. Sure the gameplay and story were all over the place and never really tied down to one specific beat. But overall wasn't it a decent loveletter to the fans and ending to Metal Gear? I feel like the whole game was about closure and for me that was what it accomplished. My question is what are your thoughts on this game? Would it be. Especially to the people who aren't big fans of 4, would you rather they didn't make it?

What happened to the real snake after ground zeros? I've only ever played phantom pain and it took me like a year to find out venom snake isn't the real snake, but thats really all I know. Like is the original snake the big boss? Im just entirely confused, like how many clones are there, just 2? Or are they even clones, and how many bosses are there? Theres the chick with the scars who you have to kill but then there are multiple ocelots????? Someone please explain

The End died from aging too soon. My disappointment is huge. My day is ruined. Hi people, today I tried to enjoy my time by proceeding in my Mgs3 no kill no alert run (European Extreme). I started my boss battle against The End, but I decided to take a small break eating a bit, having a refreshing walk. Some hours later, I am back home turn on my ps3, and what do I discover? The End died from aging...huge disappointment. Of course, I know that you can defeat him by waiting enough time but we speak about weeks , not...just a couple of hours! Is it a glitch? Is there a way to reverse the process, or do I have to start the whole game again? I tried by changing the internal Ps3 clock, but without success. Thank you in advance! EDIT some post formatting to clarify my viewpoint. Ps it seems that killing The End in such a way does not count as a kill. Therefore...there is still hope for a Foxhound rank! YESSS gt ) My disappointment is now smaller.

Say what you will about MGS4.... But all guns were given their real life names.....hats off to them for that. Granted there weren't any actual manufactures listed anywhere afaik....but I hate games that name their M4 something cringe as hell that happens to have a 4 in the name.

What are your thoughts on MGS3 on the 3DS? I have a 2dsxl and was thinking of playing it. I know they added features like you can crouch walk how is it on the system?

I was an idiot. And I want to let it out. In December last year, I bought MGS and MGS2 on GOG. My decition back then was very spontaneous because of a huge discount. From 36z (local currency in my country) to something like 15. Seems fair given how low quality these ports are. I learned about them yesterday from a video Fonald 3D made. From what I learned from him and a few other creators they are inferior ways of experiencing both games. Techologically and in pure sence of awesomeness. Bad graphics, glitches, and lack of Psycho Mantis stuff are the chosen issues. MGS2 meanwhile can be fixed by thanks to Vs patch. If you want to prove me wrong or you just have some experience with those ports, please respond.

Huey's actions at the end of Mission 31 Sahelanthropus Note MGS V spoilers I picked up on something that I've not seen mentioned online. Most people talk about Huey killing Skull Face in terms of him being self centred, or showing how taking revenge isn't cool and actually makes you look stupid because Huey is a dumbass. But the main meaning I picked up on, is this Skull Face's entire premise is as follows English is the language of imperialism and leads to cultures getting ground down. Skull Face wants to use the Metal Gear to scare the world into buying his weapons, so that they split off from one another, as well as using a parasite to kill English, so that each culture stands on its own. All the while, he wants every nation in the world to have nukes that he controls. The reason Diamond Dogs need to destroy Sahelanthropus is because if they don't, the world will be scared into a nuclear arms race and be consumed by bloodlust and hatred. They kill Skull Face to kill his ideology of revenge. Here comes the key reason why Huey kills Skull Face the Boss and Miller think they have stopped the world being consumed by hate, and that they can finally rest. But no matter what they do, people like Huey are always going to be infected by the desire for revenge. This ties into the whole message of the end of the game making the world a better place isn't that easy, and nothing you can do can fix the things you've lost. You think you've cured the parasite but it comes back worse. You can't just kill one person and expect to kill the entire ideology of revenge after their huge campaign, the best they can say is that the world is no better or worse than before. Essentially, Huey represents the impossibility of Diamond Dogs' idealistic dream of destroying evil ideology idiots like him will always rediscover them.

MGS2 randomly skipping codec calls. I played the game for like an hour and it already completely skipped a codec call twice without warning. What the fuck? Is there a Video on YT of ALL the codec calls, so I can maybe rewatch it? I feel like I already misses out on a lot. AGAIN Anyone got a link to where I can watch the codec calls (all in order or something?)?

A question about the special specialist So we all know that MGSV TPP has specialists like Botanist and Defender. My question is do I need to have all the special ones (like Medic, Defender, Sentry) in the Security Team to be effective in weekly leagues?
