Has it unlocked on Steam yet like that Konami PR guy said?

It's not happening according to NZers. Wait 16 hours

The Konami guy corrected that Tweet later on anyway. This was a loooong shot

 

[ashbash159]

So what now? 5 AM BST?

Anyone else waiting on the Collectors Edition from Game? Received email on Friday saying:

Your Game order is due for delivery on Tuesday 1st September

Fair enough, I can live with release day. But had this email on Saturday from DPD saying:

We were expecting to deliver a parcel to you today; however, we have not yet received this parcel from Game. As soon as we get your parcel, we will send you an email with your new delivery details. Until then, please contact the sender for more information.

Clicking on the tracking link says:

Sorry, your Game parcel has not arrived with us; we'll let you know as soon as it does and confirm it's on its way to you

I'm cry.

Oh, well. I'll be downloading it tonight and playing tomorrow afternoon.

Your info is outdated. This is what he said most recently:

I've been blessed with the gift of updated info! The time players are now able to download and play #MGSVTPP PC is now 12 AM ET 9/1

 

[Skux]

No love for Kiwis

 

[Forkball]

As a New Zealander, you got me good Konami. You got me good.

Why are you wasting your time playing video games when you could be outside playing with kiwis?

LOOK AT THESE THINGS:

 

[dan2026]

Thanks for the PM!

Not sure if anyone's seen this pic, thought it was funny and worth sharing lol.

Lol I love it. Gonna share that.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Didn't see a thread about it but is it true that there is no data on the retail version of the PC version and people buying it need to download the same amount of data as people going digitally?

 

[Nemesis_]

I am BALLS DEEP into this game and fuck it is so good still

fnduofnMKF why is it so good

I really enjoy it. The open world is EVERYTHING. It puts so many other open worlds to shame. The story is fantastic (even if it's slightly less prominent) and yeah

FUCK

I love how Big Boss is portrayed as just the most slimy sleazeball in that pic. Like a big-bellied, heinous fucking guy. (Barney or the Mayor, right.)

 

[Dawg]

Not sure if anyone has found the answer to this yet...

but what happens when I fulton new soldiers and my MB is already full? I've noticed my waiting room is always empty. Always. Does the game fire them without my permission?

I'm terrible with time zones, how long until this?

 

[pahamrick]

I'm terrible with time zones, how long until this?

A little less than 16 hours from now.

 

[Intheflorsh]

I'm terrible with time zones, how long until this?

16 hours.

Yep

 

[JimPanzer]

about 16 hours...

I swear, if the game doesn't unlock then I'm gonna break

Same here, 60 hours in. 67 side ops done and I'd rather keep the main mission number a secret. It's astounding that this is Kojima's first dive into an open world design, it's a bittersweet experience because who knows what he would do if he still has MGS. : / I'm glad he went out with a bang though.

 

[aravuus]

A little less than 16 hours from now.

Hmm, that'd be 7am tomorrow for me.. If I manage to pack my shit up tonight, I might be able to squeeze in a couple of hours of TPP before I move.

He looks how I play.

Scumbag murderer.

lol

 

[edgefusion]

How do you disable the comm thingies (stuff with blue lights) without alerting people? The only way I can figure out to destroy them is by blowing them up, which is obviously not very stealthy.

 

[Ozium]

People in NZ paid for day 1 release only to get the 'privilege' to start their download the evening of release?

Complete bullshit.

Everyone should refund their pre-orders.

 

[Intheflorsh]

How am I supposed to kill 16 hours? Do I really need to go to work today?

 

[Ding-Ding]

At last downloading fron EU PSN

Took your bloody time

 

[Majora]

Does anyone know why some guards I fulton get put into the 'brig' section of motherbase so I'm unable to assign them. I have some A+ rank guys in there I really wanna assign :/

Spoiler

You can shoot them with a lethal weapon, takes a ton of rounds depending on weapon power

 

[JimPanzer]

just called my boss and told him that I'm coming to work after all

 

[Nightengale]

People in NZ paid for day 1 release only to get the 'privilege' to start their download the middle of teh day on Sept 2?

Complete bullshit.

Everyone should refund their pre-orders.

Asia/Japan gets their copies later than the NA/EU. It's 27 hours till the game is out for us.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Yep

What a bummer, I was looking forward to getting the retail version but now it just makes no sense at all.

 

[pizzacat]

I'm sitting here waiting for class just thinking of it. I think someone said hi and I totally fazed them out. Where am I even

 

[Ozium]

Asia/Japan gets their copies later than the NA/EU. It's 27 hours till the game is out for us.

Why are we still here?

Just to suffer?

 

[GeekMarty]

What a bummer, I was looking forward to getting the retail version but now it just makes no sense at all.

Yea, when I read that on here I was surprised for a second.

Then I remembered it's Konami and it doesn't have to make sense.

 

[Majora]

Blowing them up is the only way. But if you tag them with C4 and then detonate from a distance, you can create a useful diversion without blowing your cover as a large chunk of the guards will go directly to that area. You only lose your stealth bonus at the end of the mission if you actually get spotted by a guard iirc.

I read somewhere that your worst performing soldiers get 'fired' automatically. Not sure how true that is though.

 

[Nemesis_]

Haven't changed my avatar since May 2014.

BUT NOW

V HAS COME TO

 

[Alienous]

Does anyone know why some guards I fulton get put into the 'brig' section of motherbase so I'm unable to assign them. I have some A+ rank guys in there I really wanna assign :/

That have to be converted to Mother Base. They aren't loyal immediately. It takes time.

This is false if you're talking about using explosives.

Haha!

They're troublemakers.

They'll come round.

 

[Dawg]

Would be nice.

 

[Majora]

This is false if you're talking about using explosives.

Shooting them with a gun would still cause an explosion though, no?

 

[Sakura]

Still waiting for my copy from Amazon to ship. I hate Amazon. They delivered Witcher 3 late too.

 

[ekim]

Would be nice.

They will be fired when you get new soldiers and you have no more space. You can lock certain soldiers though to not get fired.

 

[Braag]

So according to Steam this will unlock for me tomorrow at 8PM
I guess I wont play until Wednesday then...

 

[Golicz]

How am I supposed to kill 16 hours? Do I really need to go to work today?

Get drunk, i.e. completely plastered, then pass out & hopefully you'll wake up just in time to play the game. It's a proven method for 'killing time'.

 

[pizzacat]

They will be fired when you get new soldiers and you have no more space. You can lock certain soldiers though to not get fired.

Would they be able to fire your buddies?

 

[DrBo42]

Shooting them with a gun would still cause an explosion though, no?

Not as much as C4, no. Not sure how much of it they hear when you shoot it with a suppressor.

 

[OrochiJR]

For those who have the game already: Can you pause during cutscenes?
