People ITT are so damn impressionable. A few people walk in and don't like it and people start demanding refunds for a game they haven't played.

Oh you mean that! I have no idea. That'd be cool, but I don't think it's possible. I'd love it if it's possible.
He didn't fuck it up.
There's just a bit more going on with this game than a half hour cutscene after every 30 seconds of gameplay like MGS4.
It's amazing how badly the "not focused as much on story" line is starting to get twisted out of proportion. This is STILL a Hideo Kojima/Metal Gear Solid story. It's still grandiose and bonkers. The cutscenes are still absolutely fantastic, crazy, confusing, wonderfully directed as they've always been. There's just a LOT more game in between. Everything folks liked about crazy story MGS is STILL in V if you're prepared to play the videogame part in between.

HOLY FUCK at the timers for online Combat Unit missions. 1360 minutes! Real-time! I assume these don't require the ps4 to be on. So I should set then up before going to work, but damn...

The one with b rank fuels off, it's the most common resource for base upgrades

SO now that online is working I took at look at the online Dispatch Missions. Look at the time to complete, and for what is a really crap reward.
That is 44 hours, btw.

So I have the Collectors Edition coming in on PS4 tomorrow.
That said, was going to purchase this on Steam for my actual playthrough. Since I can play at native 4K, and hopefully push the LoD a bit. Also I can play that in like 3 hours instead of waiting.
No preload so I have not purchased as of yet. Any reason to hesitate? Ground Zeroes was a pretty flawless release and performance was good correct?
Also, on an unrelated note, I just yesterday finally caught up on Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes(Though I have yet to try any side missions in ground zeroes).
Without spoilers, should I know what "The Man Who Sold The World" refers to. I have only seen it in the trailers, on that caset tape. I am thinking it refers to Big Boss but it is possible I missed something or forgot something in previous games.

Popped in GZ but it keeps telling me service is not available. Please try again later. (10003) :/
who would be disappointed in a mcgriddle?
I'm about 25 hours in (around mission 14) and came across some really cool lore in the tapes:
Question about Quiet for those who have been playing the game:
Huey mentions there is groundbreaking cloning work being done by a Dr Clark, starting 10 years previously. Big Boss just stays silent.
Question about Quiet for those who have been playing the game:
when can I use her? She's still in her cell in the brig. I had a cutscene where she stands by the helicopter but after Kaz and Snake discuss how they couldn't communicate in the field, she just walks away.

Press X or A, and you'll have a list of items to choose from, select "NOTHING" or something like that. I also deselected it because it was taking biologic materials. And those are a bit rare at the beginning.

The game doesn't need to be on, that would be insane considering some of the timers I have seen.
About quiet
She should already available for use.
As for the previous one
well he stays silent most of the time anyway, not like he doesn't know who Clark is because ocelot told him about her in one of the tapes, even if he forgot about her so by the time the conversation with Huey happens he should know about Clark
My hype intensified.

What Kojima should have done is cut away 80% of the gameplay so that it has the same gameplay to cutscene ratio as his last games.
Then everyone would be happy!
Then everyone would be happy!
Flying into a LZ with that playing is sooo good.

Piggyback makes gorgeous guides. The one they did for MGS4 was amazing.
And yes, I think it is worth getting the hardcover version.

So does the game still punish you for not using reflex mode with insta-alerts?

With Snake asking every 10 seconds. "Mother Base?", "XOF?", "Cipher?", "Kaz?", "Fulton?". It would make sense, since Snake (according to long dated interviews with Kojima) he has neurological damage!
That reminds me it's time to change the song of my chopper to this one.

My collector's edition guide from Amazon will be here tomorrow. The last guide I bought was for........MGS4

Whatever mod changed the title of the spoiler thread THANK YOU!
Well punish is a rough word, but yes. Without reflex on (score bonus if you turn it off) you get instant alerts.
"Neurological damage?"
"Yes, as a result of the engineered neurovirus, Ayemenediot."
"I'm an idiot?"
Pretty much how I feel at this point. I'm 15 hours in. Unless things turn around at some point (read: GIMME SOME CUTSCENES), it feels like this is going to be my least favourite numbered MGS by a decent margin
The repetitive nature of the open world/missions based gameplay would be way more lame if the gameplay wasn't so god damn good. I'm pretty sure this is the best feeling third person shooter I've ever played. It almost reaches Vanquish levels of freedom of movement.

I feel a bit relief I embraced reflex mode. I honestly have yet to obtain a good all out load-out to survive.
Except smoke grenades. They are amazing to use.
Or have as much story as gameplay as it should be in a MGS game.

You don't have to turn it off to get the bonus, you just have to not have it trigger.
Worth leaving it on to save frustration and earn a bonus if you manage to be extra slick. Game was clearly designed around it and it's pretty cool, IMO.
You can also easily get S rank without that bonus so there's no reason to punish yourself unless you take the whole Punished Snake thing way too literally.

Yeah, just like in Ground Zeroes! Just press (I think) Square in PS4 while highlighting the song you want played every time a chopper comes to pick you up.
Yep, they finally fixed it.
