I am ~33 or so story missions in and have not had to do this yet. Will update when I get farther. I probably have 35 or so hours in at this point.
Not a bad call in getting it now. Easily one of the best games this year. One word of advice is to be patient. It's amazing how much content and options open up and I'm not even finished with the first 10 story missions yet. It can be as simple and as complex as you want it as well with the base building and recruitment. I was worried about that part because I don't like playing micro management side games. So the auto assign for base members is pretty slick. But if you ever need a certain level in R&D for an unlock, you can manually shift some higher grade members around to level that higher to get some research done. Plus later the game opens up the mini mission game and you can constantly send your mercenaries (npcs) on timed missions to gather resources.
On the main menu of GZ there's an upload saved data to server thing.
I'm on Ps4. I uploaded the GZ save file to PSN, but I dont see an option to download the save file in TPP. Is it suppose to be at the title screen?
Start PP and play through the first couple missions, it probably doesn't open up before you get Mother Base.
It's right on the title screen the moment you start the game. I think it disappears from the menu when the online servers are fucked up though, which is most of the time right now.
You're really really really really really gonna have to watch a youtube video explaining this shit then because you've got like 6 or more games worth of completely crazy shit to figure out to even remotely have a chance to understand whats going on here.
Yeah I played the original Metal Gear on NES, Metal Gear Solid but never finished it, Metal Gear 4 but didn't finish it. (I should finish them all especially now since Snake Eater is 7 bucks on the Sony 20th Anniversary sale on PS Store) I caught up using the link provided here telling the story up until now. The timelines are also not in conjunction with the games and their releases. They jump back and forth a lot between timelines. Add to that the code names of characters, clones of other characters, and good lord... It is almost a game in of itself trying to understand it all. It's worth it though so you know who is who. This helps and is easy to understand:
