Day 808: Really????Permalink
Alright, this MGS game is really starting to piss me off.

I realized today that you dont get 50Gs for completing each mission which makes me quite sad. Turns out I gotta do special stuff and complete the mission for an achievement.. So I completed the 3rd mission once I figured out how to talk to the guy that was the undercover agent. I guess they get intruders all the time because the agreed upon method was to capture the guy in an arm lock... Whatever, that mission was pretty easy. I don't have too much of a problem with that. The next one... yeah.

So I played the 4th mission where you have to destroy 3 anti air, one APC, and exfil all prisoners. To get the achievement, you have to do the last one. No problem, I had a good idea where the prisoners would be so I blew up the first anti air and went over and freed all the prisoners and got them out of there. I blew up the last two anti air, destroyed the APC and got out of there... Pause for achievement... nope. Nothing.

Ok so whats up, O, I missed a prisoner... WTF... Ok, let me grab that 4th one where Paz was. So I did that, grabbed the prisoner, ran them back to the helicopter, exfiled everyone together. Pause for achievement.... no... Nope. WTF

One thing I noticed was that the prisoner never had a tag over his head like the others did. Did he die enroute? No, he was still talking to me on the last path and I never got fired at. Well... balls. Lets try it again.

Rinse and repeat, did everything the same. Grabbed the 4th prisoner made sure to get the tag above his head and headed out. Dumped him at the drop point, got to the APC part, died, killed the APC went back to the safe point for exfil and yeah... No marker on the 4th dude... UGH. Extracted everyone, no achievement. DUMB!!!!

Now is it possible that the guy died on this iteration, yes, it is definitely more possible. I just don't have enough patience right now for this game. I don't really find it that fun that I would be willing to take my time trying to get everything just right. I might try a different strategy for this dumb prisoner mission, but it will have to wait.

I didn't get an achievement in MGS, had to go to Kinectimals to keep my achievement streak alive, I think I got 20 points in it. I went to check to make sure they registered and sure enough, they didn't.. They did in the game, but not on my card... So I booted the game back up and tried to get another easy achievement, it popped, went to my card and now all three appeared. Good thing I checked because even though it is past midnight here, my achievement streak is based on Pacific time thanks to 360 voice. So I should be good.

CheeseDonkey has moved to the '?' stage yet again. Everyone else is good.

Enjoy!

CloudCircus i'm going to do that achievement to rescue the 4 prisoners on the 360 versions in the next few days, so it will refresh my memory. i will figure out what you're doing wrong and help you with it if you can wait a few days. Have you tried the Jamais Vu achievement? That one is a bit tricky... it takes a lot of patience. hang in there!

RedmptionDenied Infiltration guide is the easiest S rank method. Should take like 10 mins. for 150. Rescue is also very easy and takes like 5 minutes.

Had some prisoners die on me as well when trying to extract them for various reasons. Annoying but all the missions are short enough and the more you do them, the easier they get. Especially when you play the stack. The save points are the same on every mission and you can trigger them at will once you learn them. Sometimes it's best to just reload your checkpoint if you mess something up or get spotted. Doing so also gives you more ammo for your tranq. gun.

Mr Granstaff I'm sure you're aware, but you can adjust your time zone for your achievement streaks on this site as well.

xMANNY FRE5Hx Watch videos & use the solutions on TA, it will make this much less painful & quicker

Also, on the x1 this game is an utter achievement glitchfest don't know if this is the same for the 360 version. I had 5 glitch on me. You get them to pop by playing the missions again & again. Fortunately at that point I could complete the missions in minutes. Plus you have to replay them several times for the full 1000 so it didn't bother me.

Sorry you having such a crappy time, maybe the game is not for you.

Good luck.
