Here's to 28 years of craziness and greatness.

Where did you find that? I looked around and I understood that if its in your library you will be able to download at 8:00AM EST on 8/31. Now I am confused...

The game unlocks on 9/1 at midnight when it is in New Zealand time, that meaning it unlocks completely for those who pre-order on Steam whenever time it is for you outside of NZ.

Suntory Boss Coffee is having a cross promotion with MGSV in Japan called "BigBoss x Boss" that appears to be Cardboard Box skins.

[robotrock]

I bet Mega64 is creating the greatest MGS/Konami video right now. I cannot wait.

 

[-Deimos]

Correct for those on PC who pre-ordered via Steam. It unlocks at 8am EST, 6am PST. Those who have redeemed codes from Nvidia or whatnot will have to wait until the first.

It should still unlock for those who didn't pre-order on Steam. As long as you have it in your library, you're good.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Anyone else order from WalMart in January when they had that Preorder Price typo?
Ended up getting the game for $40 but supposedly wont get it for a week. Gonna go buy day one still lolol.

You can come over to my place & play TPP while you're in town, then.

Awww yiiis tfti but this is gonna be me in the club:

 

[Houndi101]

Why would the Nvidia people have to wait to the 1st? What would be the logic behind it? It's still on Steam like the Steam pre-orders?

they don't.

if you have the game in your steam library it unlocks no matter where you got it from

*looks around* Who said that. ?

 

[FiraB]

Four missions till S-rank completed and all trails unlocked, should have this US save done by sunday at this rate.

Steam doesn't differentiate between subs when it comes to unlock times as far as I know.

 

[Houndi101]

Phew, I was already scared for a moment.

 

[pahamrick]

Less than 7 hours until the final Hideo Kojima edited Metal Gear Solid trailer. Less than 7 days until the final Hideo Kojima directed, Kojima Productions created Metal Gear Solid game.

#FucKonami.

 

[w3bba]

the hype and wait is invading my dreams. I dreamt that I met Kojima in my home place and he let me play some tpp... I need this game in my veins now

I had a dream I was playing TPP a few nights ago. Shit was intense.

Hah! Glad to see I wasn't the only one who had a dream about that. The hype is getting crazy, all these review scores aren't helping.

 

[VulpX]

Good morning.... Another long slow day at work.

Is it just me or are these last few days before release actually twice as long as usual.

Yep. I was making a joke at Spaghetti post.

|OT4| WHY DOESN'T SNACK HAVE HIS ROBOT ARM IN MGS1?!
(Credit to Sub_Level. This post cracked me up, I want to be reminded of it every time OT bumped)

^This.

Although I'd put MSG1 rather than MGS1.

 

[AAMARMO]

Hey MGS-GAF sorry that i wasn't here yesterday my internet got cut off . I was playing P4G all of yesterday. Was there any major big news yesterday.

Also this arrived yesterday:

Nice, mine should be coming soon then.

 

[Houndi101]

Just some panic about microtransactions again but it died down, we're still waiting to see how it really is on release

The best part about that pic was scrolling down and seeing the dog.

 

[Bricky]

Dawg doesn't look very happy to be there, probably wishes he was playing that One Piece mobile game instead.

 

[J4g3r]

This time next week I'll either be waiting patiently for my CE to be delivered or I'll have been up since midnight playing because I cracked and bought the game on PSN too.

Also, just under 4 hours until Kojima's last ever Metal Gear trailer...

End of an era. ;___;

 

[J-Skee]

Alright, I just got to

Spoiler

Dr. Strangelove

in Peace Walker. Without spoiling anything, how much longer does this game go on for?

 

[ShadowKhaN]

Just started playing peacewalker myself.....


Am I the only one that things the vehicle batlles/bosses are INSANELY difficult and tedious?

Its to the point where I dont even want to play anymore. Doesnt help im emulating and the aiming feels TERRIBLEEEEEE

 

[VulpX]

I'd say you're about half way or close to it. Or around 40%, something like that.

That could be your answer maybe.

I didnt think they were too hard but they were boring and tedious.

 

[Embearded]

I didnt think they were too hard but they were boring and tedious.

Exactly how it felt 3 days ago when i beat Cocoon....
Sometimes my i catch myself thinking about random stuff while playing a game, that's a signal that the game got boring and it's what happened while fighting Cocoon...

 

[Screaming Meat]

Just finished PW last night.

I'm not sure it's worth hitting GZ now as I have it on 360 and I'm waiting on my MGS PS4. I may practice the shooting mechanics to get as good as that guy in that instructional vid. What's funny is, whilst everyone is playing TPP on the 1st, I'll probably be doing GZ to get all the POIs and POWs

 

[Godan]

So anyone who has pre ordered the Collectors Edition from GAME in the UK have they heard anything from game yet about their order?

 

[Solidino]

someone make a gif with TPP coming out from the well!! XD

 

[Srey Plaughtered]

Awww yiiis tfti but this is gonna be me in the club:

I'll literally be doing that while the game installs.

Hah! Glad to see I wasn't the only one who had a dream about that. The hype is getting crazy, all these review scores aren't helping.

Phantom dreams waged by a Phantom game. I'm glad I have GZ to complete or else I'd be going crazy by now.

Let me save you the pain. Go to gamefaqs and see which mission has S rank POW's, keep grinding that mission over and over again as you fulton those POW's. Thank me later.

This is the only way I got to enjoy the game.

only that it's processing....nowt else.

The kerfuffle sparked Konami into issuing a strongly-worded statement to PC Gamer in a bid to clarify the growing confusion. Here it is:

Gamespot posted an article following the review that the PVP (FOB) mode in MGSV TPP will be restricted behind a micro-transaction paywall and that is simply not true. The FOB mode will be fully accessible at launch and the micro-transaction layer to that specific feature in the game primarily acts as an accelerator. We'll have more details at launch, but we did try and clear these rumours up when they started circulating during E3. We even addressed this in our official E3 2015 demo when it went live during that show.

Konami later clarified further with Gamespot, insisting the "initial" FOB platform is not behind a paywall. Here's the follow-up statement:

To clarify, the initial FOB, which includes the FOB command platform and all sub-platforms, is not behind a Mother Base coin paywall. Maintaining other FOBs past the initial set of FOB platforms can be purchased with Mother Base coins. More information regarding the payment model for FOB will be provided closer to launch.

Don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but well a step in the right direction, apologise if this has already been mentioned earlier.

 

[strafer]

hey

 

[MajorTom]

Right guys, we are very close to OT4 today.
I'm gonna be busy today so I won't be posting. Just want to say that I think you did a fantastic job Vally and this has been a great thread.
Been nice talking to everyone here. Hopefully ot4 is just as fun

 

[AcAnchoa]

I’ve been playing Ground Zeroes and after extracting all but four or five of the soldiers I started chasing a car to see what happens. And what happens is that the driver will not notice you unless you are directly in front on him, so I spent fifteen minutes running behind the car while diving and throwing magazines and a body and the driver never cared. In the end I accidentally hit the driver with the body and knocked him out. I love the gameplay of these games, it gets more hilarious with every instalment.

I still have to try the other missions, maybe this evening.

Thanks I had a great time making the OT, it's been an honor (· ·)7

Looking forward to OT4 too

 

[dmshaposv]

Lets burn this thread to the ground

and create OuterGaf. The world asks for wetwipes and we answer.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Yeah, this thread will make it to OT4 today, the last MGS Kojima trailer releases.

2 hours and 30 minutes from now on, buckle up.

 

[strafer]

this community deserves more OT's. It should be on the 25 OT.

 

[Godan]

Cool mine is sitting at unshipped hope it changes to processing soon.

nah, i just read yesterday the update on the original gamespot article where they clarified that we can play with FOB without microtransactions. The one you posted says a couple more things, thanks for sharing.
They might have saved it by clarifying that we will be able to play without microtransactions, but i am now confused about the extra FOBs.

To clarify, the initial FOB, which includes the FOB command platform and all sub-platforms, is not behind a Mother Base coin paywall. Maintaining other FOBs past the initial set of FOB platforms can be purchased with Mother Base coins.

They didn't say anything on how we get MB coins.... anyway no more speculation about that, i'll just wait for them to explain how the whole system works.

I still think MB Coins are the premium currency, the in game equivalent that we earn should be different.


To people who read the reviews: Did anyone of them talk about MB coins as rewards from completing missions?
