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

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

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!
