Is the companion app going to work with the PC?

Has it been built yet?
In the gc video they called a chopper from MB and pressed square, then they could choose platform to fly to then triangle to flip to the Zoo platform, it's not connected by a bridge.
Isn't that a regular mission?
Because that sounds like mission 5 and I did that...and missed her.

Eh, I wouldn't call that part a cutscene tho.

Let me double check
If I remember correctly, main mission 5 is to
rescue the scientist who made it
retrieve stun arm blueprints
After checking, this seems to be the case
you just need to choose a landing zone near the Yakho Oboo Supply Outpost, head north along that track and then work your way west.Garrett Hawke

Most of the spoilers are very mild, like mission names and objectives vs. the spoiler thread which is more entire game discussion. A lot of people got the game early and there isn't an OT yet so I'm not really sure where else to discuss this stuff. :/
Yeah I got it early too and I agree, it's tough to know where and what to discuss.
I was just joking really. Feels like the OT should be put up but I suppose rules are rules

Ah ok
yeah it's kind of a weird situation, it's the first time I've ever played a game this much before launch and I got stuck on a side op and of course there's no help to be had Wait there were doubts as to whether footage from Gamescom was running on actual PS4 hardware?
Can someone confirm the game's vegetation looks as the previously quoted picture?

So is the preload for this live in Europe yet? Anyone know when it will be if it's not already?
Yeah, some enemies refuse to talk to me no matter what, maybe i need an special ability for those tough mother fuckers.
another noob question xd
Is there a quick way to travel between platforms in the mother base? also, anyone knows a good path to do target pratice on R&D?

You tell me. I know off screen picture but for the life of me I'm taking screenshots from the Xbox One itself but for some reason I can't save them to the cloud so I could share them in direct feed 1080p png goodness, they are just there on my console for some reason. Anyways, this is just to give you an idea and keep in mind it's the Xbox One version, I'll spoiler tag the images.

It's from E3 where they showed two different gameplay videos, and the alternative one was a bit better looking than the first one. It also had "Press menu button" in title screen, that was not in the other video.
https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/3cmfay/alternative_demo_pc_or_console/
So I'm just wondering if it was an updated PS4 build (that should match the release version), or the PC build masked as PS4.
hmm... spoiler tagging the images doesn't seem to work on GAF mobile.
Maybe it's better to just post image links (not that the ones you shared are spoilery in any way).

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Without naming any specific instances, does extracting a character you're sent to kill have any repercussions in the plot?

Thanks for informing me, done.
So far? No. It's more like "hey, lets make him/her work for us instead!"
Near the heli platforms are a small orange like platform, sit in your box on top of one of them, then it'll prompt you to hold triangle, then you can choose where to go. I can't even find all the targets on the R&D.

Is the reasoning as dumb as I expect, or will it make me feel bad about what was said about Kojima?
GwyndolinCinder

They are so important though, it's bizzare they didn't make a better system for them
Oh yeah absolutely I've listened to quite a few already and they are all quite interesting and provide you with a wealth of story I just preferred it the old way. Not being able to call someone up for a random chat is kinda sad. Ocelot giving information when tagging things is a poor substitute.

I did, it downloaded the items for me and it told me that they have been added when I was in game.

Not sure if its been discussed yet but a few questions:
1. Does Kiefer have a lot of lines during the gameplay/cutscenes? (I know theres a lot of cassette tapes talking as I already learned)
2. Is there a lot of cutscenes and are they as good as past games? (Yes i fuken love MGS cutscenes)
3. Are there boss battles and are they as good as past games?
4. Is there a lot of plot twists and will the ending have me shitting my pants of awesomeness/mind-blowing?

Yeah redeemed them, downloaded and they are available in the game. There was also a 700mb update before I could play (XBONE)
Marvel
could never
Real Life just took a critical hit then, lol.

Sorry if this has been asked, but can you play missions on hard without having to clear normal difficulty first?

exactly. minor spoilers or not they obviously don't belong here
Dwight Schrute

Quick question: do materials and plants repop or resplenish after some time ?
You are great !!! thanks
No you can't, clear normal mode story first. This has been asked multiple times in multiple threads.

Thanks for your answer, but I don't appreciate the snark.

How playable is the game if I am not that interested in Mother Base?
Death Metalist
Member
The whole point is BB and Kaz rebuilding what they lost 9 years ago, which is another Motherbase.
Marvel
could never
Playable.
Though you'll miss out on all kinds of awesome gear/ camo's and stuff. It's easy to grow anyway not sure why anyone wouldn't, gather resources, do side ops, fulton soldiers and gear etc
Why would you do that?

I'm not a Metal Gear fan. I like MGS 1, 2, and 3, but I skipped all the cutscenes in 2 and I didn't get very far in 3 for some reason. I also didn't play 4 at all.
About the games I played, I primarily enjoy the boss battles and the "video-gamey" elements of them. I also like the quirkiness and weirdness of the characters and dialogue, and I appreciate that the games take themselves seriously enough where I can like the characters and appreciate the story and message, but not enough that they're just like... I guess "boring movies" for lack of a better explanation.
Does this game fall in line with the previous ones in that regard? I'm considering buying it on Steam because I want a new, modern game to play on my new PC, but from what admittedly little I've seen of the game, I'm not 100% sure if it'll be up my alley.
(I also have MGS 4 in my possession, but haven't played it, so if the answer is "if you like 4, you'll like this game" then I'll just try 4 and see how I feel.)
Thanks!

I don't think it's that playable. It seems quite grindy so far, to me at least. Like PW grindy.
There have been a few moments so far where I wished it was more like MGS1/2 where you would just get your equipment and use it. In this, you really have to put in effort to get your equipment.
This is a spoiler for me. Especially the word
'interaction'
See y'all later.
How about getting Ground Zeroes for PC? It's pretty cheap and will give you a perfect feeling of whether you like Phantom Pain.
I'm not a real MGS geek and only played MGS4. I never found the gameplay very compelling (luckily, the game was 75% cutscenes anyway). But I really liked Ground Zeroes. The stealth gameplay has great flow and the D-pad weapon selection is a really welcome addition.

Guys, guys. Can you plant c4 on wild animal? I must know.
I'm really excited about the 'Subsistence' variants of certain missions.
In these it's genuinely 'weapons and equipment OSP'. You are forced to do the whole mission without any gear on your own and fine all your gear in the field.
Yes. And guards.

Ok thanks guys. I will have to put up with it then. Just asking because I hated the Peace Walker mission style where I could start an op because I was missing C4 etc. and had to do some side missions in between. I am here to see the story and enjoy the gameplay during story missions. I don't have much time to play games anymore (average 2-3 hours per week mostly on weekends) so I totally despise grinding on the side and having to wait a week to play another story mission just because I have to "wait" (and play side missions) until an important item is ready.
