Is it completely retarded? Yes, but here are two things I've noticed:
1) Doctors ID is issued in 1979.
2) The Russian soldiers state that 1984 was written thirty years ago. It was written in 1949.
I don't have the time to compile anymore evidence, so please see if there are any more references to 1979, particularly in the prologue.

Considering the soviet invasion of afghanistan happened in late december of 1979 then no, it doesn't take place in 79.

Pretty sure one of the first tapes you get is about Ocelot and Venom watching the news about the 1984 Olympics, user.

You're tasked with retrieving a stinger, which places the game some time during or after 1986

Ground Zeroes takes places in 1975. The Phantom Pain takes place nine years later in 1984.

OR DOES IT?

The 1979 stuff is likely leftovers from earlier in development.

It's packed full of discontinuities and anachronisms. The plot was almost entirely rewritten in the last few months of development (after the schism).

slightly off topic, but is multiplayer even alive on any of the platforms? I imagine PC is completely fucked due to the hacks I heard about. It's on sale on ps4 so not sure if it's worth picking up the inferior version
Bentley Jones
It starts in late 70's but picks up during the early 80's.

This can't possibly be true. "I'm afraid it's been 9 years" was in the very first trailer a year before even Ground Zeroes came out, and Ground Zeroes from the very start took play after Peace Walker which took place in 1974.
Christian Jenkins
how are they gonna make this work? If they do a kojima then it'll be shit

The doctor's bullshitting you, or, you're hallucinating. MGSV begins with a flashback after all.
