Ok played 16 hours now. My opinion on Kieffer is that he's a good voice after but just not for big boss.
His voice doesn't fit the character. BB is a big strong rough dude. Kieffers voice isn't deep or rough enough.
Every time he talks and BB is in picture it's like it's not him who's talking.
I hope he puts some effort in the delivery in TPP. Maybe try it make his voice sound more snakeish.

I don't know if I'm dumb for just now figuring this out, but in the side opp where you have to collect the intel cassette

Spoiler

you don't have to even meet up with the informant. Just stay prone in the truck from the start, it'll take you straight to the base. Once there, hope out and climb the ladder up to the watch tower, grab the cassette, then hop down off the ledge right behind the truck, get back into the truck and wait for the driver to come back after a few minutes. He'll drive you straight out of the mission.

That there is one hell of an easy S Rank :lol

Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes demo impressions (Next-gen at TGS confirmed) http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=670893

Going back to that thread provides hilarious hindsight. So many people got panicked after that really odd write up from someone at IGN, comparing it to Splinter Cell Conviction.

I don't understand how to not be bad at these types of games. I try and be stealthy, I get caught. I try and run-and-gun, I get shot. How do I Metal Gear??

You hide in the shadows. You get close, you shoot one in the head, wait for his friends to come and wake him, then shoot his friends,rinse and repeat until area is cleared, then move on to next area. This is metal gear.

decided to watch peace walker the movie on youtube since i could never get myself to finish the game.

ugh...even by mgs standards that story was silly as hell.

And with that, I'm done for tonight. Still haven't finished all of the side missions yet (the only other one I've done so far is the one

Spoiler

where you save Kojima

), so I'll do that tomorrow.

Oh, that reminds me - how exactly can you even clear that level non-lethally? You have to destroy both a tank and a helicopter, which kills the people inside, right?

I used a rocket launcher to destroy a APC in the main mission, didn't count as a kill either. In past Metal Gears shooting a explosive barrel next to enemies wouldn't count towards kills, so maybe something like that is in place?

 

[plasmawave]

Yooooo, I love this game.
I'm trying to acquire an intel but this is so much fun stealthing.

I just picked it up a couple hours ago and runned-and-gunned my way through the story easily... no stealth whatsoever. (On Normal.) Tons of points off for 47 kills, lol. (45 by assault rifle) Luckily, I randomly headed directly to Chico and then guessed right on the coin flip for which way to go on the road after that.
I hadn't played a Metal Gear game in years. Getting the controls down just outside the base took almost as long as the story.

You could've spoilered that. I had no idea.

did anybody figure out if you can drive the forklift?

 

[Sami+]

Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on what the console exclusive missions are? And if they are dealbreakers or not? I'm tempted to get the PS4 version for the technical advantages it has over the Xbox One version but then the Raiden mission sounds quite good.

I don't have an Xbox, but the Deja Vu mission is super fun. If you're a fan of the series you'll love it.

You could've spoiled that. I had no idea.

Sorry. :/ Edited.

 

[Mozz-eyes]

Couple more hours til delivery.

I'll be playing the Japanese version. Love hayters's voice so I'd rather switch to the Japanese va than hear Sutherland.

So buzzed.

The JP version is great. Akio is the boss as always.

Wut?

This review seems way off base. Replay value at 1/10? Okay, son.

It sounds lame but I really miss Hayter. His voice to me just makes Snake and is perfect. While I love Kiefer and 24, I just don't think his voice is anywhere close to Hayter's in quality. I wish they didn't change

 

[deim0s]

Yeah thats annoying, you have to walk into them real slow to open then slowly.

Something else thats annoying, even more so is how i couldnt drop the body i was carrying over a waist high fence to take a short cut... i wanted to cut through an area to get to extraction quicker and more conveniently, but ended up having to walk the whole way around the fence through a spot light guarded area, instead of easily dropping the body over the fence, jumping over, picking it back up and carrying on.

Throw the body over that fence.

did anybody figure out if you can drive the forklift?

Nope, the wheels have blocks.

 

[bernardobri]

Does the japanese release include language settings for other languages?

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

Going to rent this at redbox this weekend. I heard about it being a extremely short game so Id rather rent than buy and save the cash.

 

[Dead]

Oh man. Just knocked out a dude outside the prison gate and another guard heard the noise. Had to scurry away and hide behind some crates while holding on to the dude waiting to interrogate him while the other guard was this close to seeing me. Amazing tension lol, was like a scene out of a movie.

[beastmode]

Considering all the lore confusion & value proposition concerns I think it may have been better for Konami to have made this a bundle with MGS3 & PW and kept the 'V' out of the name.

 

[Sub_Level]

Got my S' for Deja Vu,
feels good.

Same here. On hard mode to boot.

This game is fun to master.

 

[Spaghetti]

Nope, the wheels have blocks.

preorder cancelled

 

[despire]

So the UK release date is tomorrow while the rest of Europe get it today right? Wrong. Finnish retailers decided practically overnight that the release date is tomorrow instead of today. I guess the distributor here has the release date set for tomorrow for some bizarre reason but all the stores had the release marked for today even yesterday. So here I was hoping to get my hands on the game finally today but when I called the store they said the it comes out tomorrow.

I mean what the fuck?

 

[pupcoffee]

No. of guards in Ground Zeroes: Around 45?

No. of guards in MGS1: twenty-something

No. of guards in MGS2: Around seventy (forty five in Plant.)

What do people think of this?

 

[plasmawave]

Does the japanese release include language settings for other languages?

There was an option at the beginning for either English or Japanese.
I'm assuming the JP version also supports English texts maybe?


EDIT: Yep, the JP version has full English texts.

Oh god that ending.

Wait for Phantom Pain is gonna be unbearable.

haha, yeah. doing a pacifist run of MGS3 is always fun especially at the final fights. Tranqulizing the flying enemies, they still crash and die horribly but they don't count as kills.

I always thought that was just Big Boss. These people change their names so much Naked Snake/Big Boss/Naked Snake again. I thought that was just him changing his name to VICTORY BOSS.

[Pharaoh 117]

I know it's a little OT, but Hot Toys just announced the Raiden from Metal Gear Rising action figure. It looks bad-ass:

After the MGS3 figures and now this one I think it's safe to assume the're going to release figures from MGSV. Can't wait.

I think Kojima really dropped the ball, there should've been at least 47 in Ground Zeroes. Lazy programmer.

Do you guys think we may get additional dlc for the game? Like new challenges, missions etc...

I'd LOVE me some coop! I could play that small map for months with a buddy!

They're going to concentrate on getting TPP out the door.

That's actually kinda interesting. I never realized MGS1 had so few enemies.


I do think that enemy presence in GZ is more threatening than the other MGS games thanks to the increased sight range and open level.

 

[Graphics Horse]

That's actually kinda interesting. I never realized MGS1 had so few enemies.

I think it's more like 36 patroling guards, and a lot more in set piece battles.

I think they'll leave out coop for main ops this time but have coop missions for mgo. Didn't they say something about being able to design your own, missions?

 

[Mr. RHC]

This Kojima Station is actually quite a big show, can't wait for the english version!

 

[Screaming Meat]

No. Fucking. Way.

Are you for serial?

I'm not sure, it was maybe last e3 if they did.

Throw the body over that fence.

Wait, what ?. I thought i tried every button at the fence to try and throw the body over(this body was one of the people you rescue)... but i was rushing due to a guard patrol, ill have to figure it out later.
