Hey guys I just picked up a PS4 and I finally wanted to give MGS V a try. I already have ground zeroes free from PS+ but I wanted to know if I should spring for this version of the game with the dlc or should I save some dough and drop like a $20 on just phantom pain? Thanks

I'd probably save the money, considering you already have GZ. The additional weapons and camos are hardly worth the extra cash. Either way, hope you enjoy!

Does this have its own icon on PS4 or are TPP and GZ separate downloads?

I'm interested in this but I already own digital GZ. DE is on sale again on PSN.

It has its own icon. GZ is truly attached to PP. Its all ONE game. The menu lets you pick where you wanna start with.

I beat GZ so it defaults to PP because I told it to.

I have the retail version though.

Sandstorms and smoke screens are the best thing in the next.

I was sneaking into an outpost in Afganistan to find the weapon gunsmith and a sandstorm can at just the right time. My heart was racing as I snuck out with the prisoner.

My heart also races when I use smoke grenades. They help alot but there's always one guy who dodges it and tries to find out where you're at.

I got Quiet the outfit where she's covered in blood. Lol

I got Quiet the sleep gun but it's crazy loud. I can't wait until I unlock her supressor or that gun.

One of Quiet's animations on the helicopter shows her stretching her back and looking at Snake with a "You wanna come and get it or not?" There's huge sexual tension going on between Quiet and Snake.

Just experienced the Devil's House quest to save Swanhi.....

AMAZING.

My heart was racing!!!

Thr atmosphere and tension and the fight!!!!! My God! My jaw is on the floor.

I love this game. It relies on the fulton system too much but that mission was incredible.
 
Entire mission without a HUD is pretty awesome actually great night and fog atmosphere.

Love the foggy mountain valley and stream section, too:

Or even that small copse of trees near the first gate:

Cool little detail... you can actually follow the 1 guard at the gate all the way from the gate, through the camp by the stream, to the tunnel:

- https://youtu.be/XD3pI7dZSqI?t=1128 (walking through the stream camp, just walking no talking)
- https://youtu.be/XD3pI7dZSqI?t=1264 (at the tunnel camp, talking about disappearances)


Listen to the radio of that last one... even the radio during this mission is creepy :O

- https://youtu.be/XD3pI7dZSqI?t=1393

"the mother, who was shot in the stomach, was pregnant at the time.
[...] the father was found listening to the radio in his car
[...] several days before the murder, neighbours reported hearing the father repeating a sequence of numbers in a loud voice
[mission name reference?]
they said it was like he was chanting some strange spell.

Swanhi? Wasn't it shabani?
But yeah awesome mission. The boss fight is pretty cool too. There's so many ways to tackle it.
Now I wanna replay tpp
 
The DLCs never got discounted on PS Store while they did on Steam. In fact DLCs rarely get disocunted on PSN. The Definitive Edition (GZ + TPP + all DLCs) costed 17€ in Christmas deal which is less than the sum of all the DLCs.

Such a great easter egg. But always bothered me that the voice actor said "nine eleven" rather than "nine one one."
 
actually my original version of my post mentioned that haha but i thought i was overthinking it and maybe it detracted from my main point about the radio new's murder announcement.

but yeah that stuck out to me, too... 9-11 not 9-1-1... was thinking, is there some regional dialect or maybe a state (i'm canadian) where that's more common to say it that way? (or maybe in the 1980s?).

I know for the most part, North America always refers to it as 9-1-1. And only 9-11 when either referring to the Porsche or the September 2001 attacks.

Maybe the voice actor or voice director just missed it by accident or decided not to re-record since that game was in early development.

A random main mission triggered during a mission where some guys invaded Mother Base.... I tried to win but it was basically impossible. I failed the quest... :(

Use sonar, mark enemies, then snipe from a distance.

I just got the Phantom Pain on sale, but i'm not interested in Ground Zeroes and the DLC looks like crap. So no skin off my back.
