Yeah. I can't figure out how to get her back to the room I found her in. The walkthroughs keep mentioning a spiked platform that hovers, but I'm not finding it.

Is there a geyser that pops her up?

If there is, I haven't found it. Maybe I should just watch a YouTube walkthrough or something.

Every time I play MSG V I feel like I fall into a black hole where time has no meaning. I always end up playing it twice as long as I intend to. A sign of a great game.

Ditto. I haven't gotten to play that much this week, unfortunately.

I think I've played about 20 hours or so and I've only done about 17 story missions.

I'm in the same boat. Extracting soldiers/prisoners is almost too easy with Quiet. I look forward to the heavy artillery side ops so I actually use some stealth when I CQC them

I'm not a fan of Quiet taking out guys all the time when I get close to them. I need to upgrade my Fulton.

I saw something about forward operating bases and decided this game is basically like a freemium game in addictiveness

I'm about where you guys are, except I haven't unlocked Quiet as a buddy yet, still in the brig. I've finished 13 main missions and shit ton of side ops. I'm still fultoning EVERYONE.

I'm to the point of no room on MB, so I only bother fultoning people with A with a skill or A+ or >.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing from now on (meaning starting today). I have like 20 E level guys in my waiting room. I have my fulton all the way upgraded now though, so I can get those giant containers.

those are kinda helpful for getting materials, but doing the combat deployments are what really help

I wish I could Fulton all of life's responsibilities so I could just play this game for the next month and do nothing else.

Looking for some basic answers re: PS4. I haven't owned a system since the original PS1, and I gather much has changed since 2001. Looking to purchase a PS4 around the holidays, hoping you guys can help me out:

Is 500gb enough for 3-5 games? I'm mostly excited for Star Wars: Battlefront, The Division, Uncharted 4, Metal Gear, and that Rocket League game looks fun too. If 500gb is too small, is it easy to upgrade to a larger drive?

What sort of connection speed do I need to play online? I believe we're at 6mb/s. Does it matter if I'm connected directly to the modem, or is WiFi ok? If I need to be connected via hardline, is there any way to cast from the PS4 to my TV wirelessly?

I'm not sure how game servers work these days, but I'd like to play with some friends in MA. Will that be easy to do from MT?

How quickly do the controller batteries lose their charge?

Are those standing fan units really helpful with heat and noise, or are they a waste of money?

Is the stock headset ok, or should I invest in something else?

Others may be better-suited to answer some of these, but I'll just tell you what I can:

500gb is plenty. I wouldn't worry about that. Although it depends how you are buying the games, I suppose - you will save space if you buy discs instead of downloading.

You can connect via WiFi; no need for a wire. Not sure about the speed.

Doesn't matter how far away your friends are. People play when they are in different countries.

Controller battery lasts probably 6-8 hours I would guess, but it includes a charging cord and you can keep playing while it's charging. Cord is a little short, though.

I wouldn't worry about heat/noise. PS4 is a relatively quiet system, and as long as you don't have it enclosed, it will ventilate itself.
