No cardboard boxes means it's not Metal Gear Solid.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes [Impressions from Nasu]
- Thread starter Love Deterrence
- Start date
My department (and thus my power) has been growing recently. They let me send 2 guys from the fan community instead of them stuffy press guys.
I love the press guys, please don't spear me.

Still not sold until I find out how meaty the side quests are. Am I rescuing a captive or finding a flag on a rooftop?
I don't, a lot of games give you a not-so-great percentage for doing the bare minimum story mission, with the recent Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition being a prime example (I think you only get around 60% when just beating the game and not collecting stuff) The question of course is if the other 91% will be fun and not pointless. I'm optimistic so I will say yes
The lack of a cardboard box on the other hand pretty much invalidates Ground Zeroes not just as a canonical entry in the series. Spinoff confirmed.
That sorta thing has always happened in the GTA games, has always bugged me.
Not like this, Hideo, not like this.

Ah, cool. That's pretty interesting actually, I'm glad they're giving you the ability to do things like that.
I'm sure the stuffy press guys will be OK.

If collectathon BS makes up the rest of the completion percentage, I can think of nothing more fucking boring...absolute tedium. So you can mess around and make it seem longer, you can do that in any game, doesn't even need to be a sandbox. Dicking around isn't content.

This is not a bad thing. Its stealth mechanics are very strong. Environmental hiding places, light/dark make up for it
Between Ground Zeroes and Blacklist, Splinter Cell is doing pretty ok for itself as a series now. Still not at Chaos Theory levels, but out of the Double Agent and Conviction quality ghetto for sure.

Good to know of completion %. Side missions will probably take a huge percentage.
I wonder, on the cardboard box, if it's because he didn't find any or if it was something he asked and was answered.

They can get rid of boxes, but only if you have the ability to disguise yourself as a sheep in Afghanistan

Can't fucking wait for this guys... even though it's only 90 mins.. down to pay $40 even tho that's a little pricey (i'd only do it for MGS)
I'm really glad kojima improved the controls and frame rate... MGS4 felt too clunky imo. I can already tell this is a lot more fluid and silky smooth.
MGSV + FFXV.... the reason I got a PS4. Every other game is irrelevant!!

It's not like the cardboard box was actually useful in MGS4(except MGO)
Now if there's no drum can in GZ, then I'll be upset

I just caught that hashtag in my feed a few minutes ago and going through it, it reads like box quotes. It's a preview event, too, which means the guys there are being buttered like bread to make sure they walk away positive. (Notice Mitch is just saying "More in March."
The game needs to just come out at this point. I don't trust Konami on the matter and it's ditto for what strikes me as a bunch of fans at an event.
Seriously, read some of those tweets. Hyperbole as far as the eye can see. The guys from GI were positive, but they didn't sound like that.

Still think its to short for it to cost as much as it does. Is this game getting a preorder bonus or not? Probably the only way I will day 1 it at this point.

My biggest hope? That this is all a huge success and a million, billion people buy the game and maybe I get a slightly bigger desk to fit all my PlayArtsKAI figures, and next time we can send like, 3 guys.
The joke 'Tactical Equestrionage Action' came up in meetings last week.

no boxes? That is disappointing.
Still so pumped for this. Time to have another rush through MGS3 and PW

I hope it sells like shit so it doesn't set a horrible precedent.
MGS is dead. RIP in pieces.

I'm buying 2 copies, UK and Japanese for the art, so if you get a bigger desk, I'd like to go to The Phantom Pain play date.

Eventhough, if after beating the campaign I have a 10% of completition rate, I won't play it again. So, still buying it used.

I hope not, but it's definitely a possibility. Only wanted to share information. Whether or not we trust the accuracy of these impressions is ultimately on us, I suppose, but definitely thought they deserved a read at the very least.
That they do. Positive or negative, they give you a better idea of what to expect (and what not to expect). I'm sure that by the time March 18 rolls around, gamers will have all of the information they need to make an informed decision on whether or not they should give the game a shot.

They were going to remove it, but it made it in because it is such a big thing... like boxes.

According to this, both the ! and c box will be in Phantom Pain.

Also, Amazon Japan (along with several other retailers, I believe) is giving away cardboard boxes for The Phantom Pain with pre-orders of Ground Zeroes!
AhahahaImpression from Egoraptor:
And I'm out, not getting GZ, I'm just gonna wait for TPP. I can't deal with a 2 hours game and no substantial story and message at all.
It's not a stealth game anymore, there's little story, cutscenes reduced, codec probably not existant... sigh

"Completed a full-stealth run of MGSV:GZ. Stealth is the best its been yet. Controls are more fluid while staying true to MGS."
"Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Just saw the ending. Goosebumps. Disbelief. Shock. *reboots game* Im going back in."
I don't believe it. I won't believe it.
This gif is hilarious! I could live without cardboard boxes for GZ, that's not my main issue!
Yep, need more info. Still sounds like a horrible business proposition for consumers.
