At worst it seems like it could be forgettable, but terrible? What they've shown so far seems pretty alright.

Warner Brothers Games PC port. The last two ports we got from those guys were Batman Arkham Knight and Mortal Kombat X.


Of course, it's an Avalanche game. I expect that they are doing the port themselves, but I'd still be cautious. Just Cause 2 is a solid port.

I was talking more about the quality of the game, not the technical side. But yeah there is a precedent to be concerned.

You gotta start playing now so that you can git gud in time, son.

My thing is this: I worked my butt off building my base in PW. You lose it all in GZ. If I play and beat GZ now? I will have to hold dat L alllllll the way until TPP's release...


...instead of waiting until right before release and getting revenge instantly.

 

[texhnolyze]

Arkham Knight PC launched the same day as the console versions to. Just sayin.

So did the Witcher 3.

This is why you don't pre-order. You just won't know until the release day.
Fortunately, we have steam refunds now.

Ouch, I was hoping to take advantage of the 20% off + $10 RZ Certificate with preorder deal with GCU at Best Buy. I guess it's up to GMG to get some codes to get some kind of deal on this.

I haven't played GZ since launch because I'm trying to simulate the nine year coma Big Boss fell into. When I play TPP, Big Boss will awaken, and so will I.

Holding out for the small chance a collectors edition for PC pops up

Hmmmm...

I never thought about it like that....

...well done indeed.

Not sure if this has been noted already but:

HELL YES!

GG Konami (you're still crap, but GG anyway)

 

[Blugrass]

So would any kind soul like to give me a copy of their Ground Zeroes if they don't need it

 

[Jimrpg]

Damn its RM230.00 in Malaysia about $75 Australian dollars.

I'm beyond paying more than 30 bucks for games these days with my backlog so I'm going to have to sit this one out. Hopefully it gets a 50% off sale during Steam Christmas sales.

Yeah, it's pretty nasty for SEA countries as well.
They don't bother giving us regional pricing.

Thanks to bijanomics.

This GZ giveaway is actually kind of genius.

If you've never played/bought GZ, you get the full MGSV experience just by pre-ordering it, but since most people buying MGSV most likely already own Ground Zeroes, then they get a free copy to give away to friends, allowing extra people to play through GZ and try it and then basically cause them to want to go out and buy MGSV and so on.
It's a pretty good strategy on PC to get a large amount of people to try out the game in a small amount of time before release.

I gifted my copy of GZ to my woman.

Flaw in their plan - you can do account sharing in steam. I know, as an example, that one of my buddys is basically going to play MGSV through family sharing at night while I sleep, since we are on opposite ends of the day.

 

[BigTnaples]

Hm. I have several of the PS4 Limited Editions preordered on PS4.


However, I could likely play this at 4K 60fps on my rig...


May have to pentadip.



In any case, I really have to finish PW on my Vita and play GZ before this launches.


And finish Wild Hunt.

 

[jwhit28]

For some reason I haven't been able to play Ground Zeroes since switching to an Intel CPU/AMD GPU combination, even after clean installing Windows 10. I'm assuming it has something to do with AMD 15.7.1 driver but haven't had the time to rollback further. My window to get the problem solved got smaller.

Yes I've been spoilt by the generally cheaper games bar a few titles (NBA 2k15 was RM150). Like Pillars or Eternity is just RM80, Dark Souls 2 is RM75, Dirt Rally is RM56.

RM230 reminds me of the SFII SNES days...

From Konami's perspective, they probably priced it right... MGS fans are among the most hardcore.

I'm surprised so many people had issues playing GZ on Win. 10. When I upgraded I just reinstalled the latest drivers for my GPU and all my games including GZ run perfectly.

Does anyone know when this will go live on GMG. ?

Oh nice. Any tricks to get TPP dirt cheap on PC like AK and Witcher?

 

[Love Deterrence]

The most exciting thing for me is the full custom soundtrack support. This was one of the coolest features from the Ground Zeroes reveal in 2012. Hopefully it can get patched into the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game one day, too, as it is still supported in the PS3/X360 versions. Anyways, cannot wait to see what the PC community can do for MGS!

The day I come back from my eurotrip LD do you know hoe happy I am?

BROTHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, yes ohmygod tbh incredible isn't it

 

[Forkball]

I was definitely going to be spoiled before it hit PC so I'm glad it's coming out day one. I kinda feel like a goober for buying Ground Zeroes though.

 

[Branson]

This thing is going to be broken on release. I hope I'm wrong. But everything is nowadays.

 

[pahamrick]

I paid $9 for GZ PC and got TPP free. As much as I was looking forward to MGO3, I can't be too mad about the delay.

But it is disappointing that so far it doesn't look like PC users have a way to get access to the DLC included in the CE console versions.

considering ground zeroes ran great, i don't see how you come to this conclusion.

Batman is so broken everyone forgot most multiplatform games are released at the same time in PC and consoles and are fine.

 

[Spaghetti]

pretty much. common factor is warner brothers, not day and date pc ports.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

I have uncovered the master plan!

This is a bundle of GZ and TPP. If you play GZ and then TPP ends up being a bad game,

Spoiler

no steam refund for you, you have played more than 2 hours of both bundled games!

 

[texhnolyze]

It's PR 101 thing.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it.

 

[Grief.exe]

GZ port was aces. It even ran well on my second junker PC in tbe living room. If any big release this year is gonna be good on PC from day one it's MGSV.

Konami really blew people away with the shear quality of that release.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

So is TPP going to allow for custom mp3's unlike GZ on PC?

 

[Klossen]

So is TPP going to allow for custom mp3's unlike GZ on PC?

Yes.

 

[A-V-B]

Yes.

I've got my fingers crossed for mods to somehow keep the game alive past its expiration date.

 

[XAL]

Question:

For save carry over from Ground Zeroes to Phantom Pain - if you save all the prisoners on normal, is that enough? Or do you have to do it on Hard?

I assume everything is cumulative...

Yeah they just need to make more defined visual options, that blur on ADS is garbage.

i'm not sure it works like that. i think the mother base staff carried over from gz will be the unique characters rescued rather than the regular POWs that add to your score.

 

[Xiraiya]

Considering the FOX Engine was made with PC in mind and is quite clearly PC friendly given how easy it is to run Ground Zeroes on a toaster, that's kind of a baseless assumption in this context.
It's all about the engine.

 

[Flandy]

Who are the unique characters supposed to be?

 

[Xiraiya]

Who are the unique characters supposed to be?

I think there is confusion there, the unique characters are certain guards from missions like "The Finger" etc.

Prisoners are just prisoners, in Peace Walker they were often better than average stat wise than default soldiers, so it's probably not like the app where "This prisoner will turn out to be Solid Snake for your motherbase in TPP!"

 

[Spaghetti]

Who are the unique characters supposed to be?

GZ spoilers

Spoiler

the sniper and spotter duo from the assassination mission, the informant and bald soldier from the intel mission, and the mother base spy from the air emplacement mission

just a guess though

Lets hope so! I'm too god damn excited.

 

[NetMapel]

Would also love a gift-able Ground Zero if anybody got any to spare here. I got my MGSV: TPP through Nvidia Need to get my Kojima on !

How about Pro Evolution Soccer?
Why do they resort to last gen graphics of FOX?

 

[Cleve]

Huh, really glad to see this won't be delayed. It kind of fucks up plan of playing it on ps4 at launch.

 

[Slackbladder]

So MGSV is ONLY available on Steam? Can't see it anywhere else. And £45.99 is still too high (more expensive than retail PS4/Xbone versions) but the date coming forward is good.

 

[XAL]

I'm surprised there isn't a DELUXE GOLD EDITION thing that's 90 bucks.

I'm sure other websites like GMG and Nuuvem will offer pre-orders soon too.

You can also buy a NVidia key from someone here on GAF.

 

[mrpookles]

I was tossing up going PS4 because I'd have struggled to wait 2 weeks. This is awesome news.

 

[JaseC]

It could also be a mistake, or temporal pricing to avoid initial abuse from other countries.

The new King's Quest was quite ridiculously priced on the Mexican store (and lasted for several days), but it eventually got changed a bit to more sensible one.

That would be a possibility if it weren't roughly half the price on Steam MX, which is also part of Steam's CSA trade region.

Someone should tell Capcom and WB that their games are ridiculously priced in the Mx Steam store.
