Playing through MGS V, I fucking love this series and this game but ngl, I can’t help but think so much of MGS is nonsense, which I’m totally fine with.

But I haven’t really done a deep dive into the story or it’s commentary, so it’d be cool if someone more uhh analytically inclined could explain this shit to me if it’s worth explaining.

Edit: really cool to play in Afghanistan, not cool to be killing Soviet soldiers

It's Metal Gear Solid, why are you killing them!?

Pro tip: Use non-lethal methods to take down the guards, and Fulton balloons to make them into your comrades! very-smart

if you dont balloon literally everything you can in mgs5, are you even playing correctly?

Sounds like 11 comrades. ground-pog

you can call in a resupply mid mission to get more balloons, or it might be resupply flares. which the resupply will also give you more resupply flares

IIRC you can do both ( and also call in air support after awhile) re-supply flares are so clutch in the early game because suppressor lifespan is so short and popping open the iDroid every time is a hassle, esp if you just fucked up and triggered an alert

Plus a balloon on a cargo container for your evac!
