Metal Gear Solid V 'Definitive Ex' listed by Amazon (Chapter 3?)

I wouldn't say it's a dramatic difference at all, a dramatic difference would be comparing the ps3 version to the PC

As someone who played primarily on PC, but has seen the PS4 version in person plenty of times, you won't really notice.

Did you notice a lot of popup on PC? Because that was very noticeable when driving a jeep on the PS4 and seeing bushes and shadows slowly come into existence as you drove forward.

That's true I didn't get to see much vehicle gameplay if any when I tried the PS4 version, I'd imagine the popup is at it's worst there. But when it came to actually moving snake around the environments I was stunned at how similar the experiences were.
 
What does "Ex" mean? Why not call it "Definitive Edition"?

"Definitive Experience"? Or perhaps "Definitive Expansion"!? Chapter 3 confirmed?

With GOTY Editions, and Deathinitive Editions I wouldn't read too much into it. Just another synonym.
 
I'll be honest, i loved the gameplay enough that some new missions alone might be nice.

But yeah, it'll probably just be a goty collection...

We can dream of Chapter 3...

Playing on a 980ti and still got a lot of pop in. It was mostly stuff in the distance or ground textures/shrubbery, but it was still pretty annoying.

I was thinking Ex = Expansion but then I realized it didn't make sense. Definitive Experience makes more sense.

*Venom is walking around Mother Base when he notices his men installing something in the corner*

"What's that?" Venom asks Ocelot.

"That's a pachinko machine. You ever play pachinko before, Boss?"

"Can't say that I have."

"It's pretty simple. The key thing is, the more money you give Konami, the more money you might make back."

"Technology is amazing... Wait, what's a Konami?"

"Never mind that, Boss. Did you know you can play MGS3 Pachinko, right here in Mother Base? Just use your real-life credit card to buy in-game tokens. They say the true nature of things will only be revealed by playing a lot of pachinko..."

"Ocelot, what are you talking about?"

*smash to black screen*

CHAPTER 3: HIT THE LEVER

I still think Kojima leaving is just an elaborate publicity stunt

Death Stranding will be about Kojima, stranded on an island, helplessly watching MGS die back at Konami.

He'll then climb aboard the manly shoulders of a naked Norman Reedus, who will swim him back to Konami.

The ocean tide will instead take them to California and the LA Convention Center, where Kojima will announce Ch. 3 at E3.
 
You guys are setting yourself up for disappointment, like always. You're really going to give Konami the benefit of the doubt now of the time to do so?
 
Still the highest rated game of 2015 at 93 on Metacritic.

Stay mad I guess

I bleed MGS, favorite series of all time. Even have the foxhound logo tattooed on me. Ratings don't mean shit and outside of the amazing gameplay this is my least favorite metal gear due to the story and the general way it's set up. I pray in the future when they make a new one they have a bunch of ground zero sized areas over two big empty open world maps.

Pop-in didn't seem that bad on PS4, but the big framerate drops when looking through foliage or sometimes in the chopper don't leave me with a great impression of Fox Engine.

It's a dumb theory that unfortunately some people might believe because you're an "insider". Despite being proven wrong.

I never claimed I was an insider. And I didn't even stated what the theory was. So it can't be a dumb theory when you don't even know what it is.

here is a good example of the ridiculousness of the demands on Kojima: people wanted him to cover a period from the mid-70s to 1999 in a single game.

as Kojima's farewell, the "ending" to MGSV was always going to be the start of the first Metal Gear game. and that's what it is. why people can't accept this is beyond me.

I was going to say Outer Heaven, but Kojima retconned the emotional investment out of Outer Heaven by having it all be a big conceptual mindjob, so I would've played that level as if I were a stranger. And that's not terribly satisfying unless you're going for a Stanley Kubrick effect. Even that's an acquired taste.

Yeah it's probably just TPP plus Ground Zeroes, the day-one special edition (or whatever it was called) DLC and the MGS3 skins DLC that came out a bit later.

Mods verified me before and banned me because of the June release date.

Oh okay, not an insider despite mods verifying you? Okay, okay.

Plus your posts in this thread prove you're trying to live up to that. I strongly believe that you know nothing.

As someone who played this game for checks Steam 130 hours I do not possibly understand how this game got so many 10/10 scores.

As someone who played it for 280 hours on steam I do not possibly understand how anyone can give it less than a 10/10 :)

Greatest stealth game of all time. Absolute perfection. 15 years from now it will still make other 3rd person action games look bad.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Remember when people thought MGSV would end with a young playable Solid Snake leading into MG1?

I'm gonna blame Konami and Kojima for MGSV. This game has so many little useless things they could have cut in favour of a more focused experience. Then again Kojima was all hot about GTAV and open world games.
