Is
torturing people gonna be a reoccurring mechanic in this?
Is it possible to kill Huey if you could kill quiet?

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
You mean besides the fact that characters very rarely talk like an actual person would? Or the constantly monologuing villain with a voice that sounds like it came straight out of an anime dub? Or the horrible dialogue itself with body comparisons to fruit, which is part of the constant monologuing villain critique because by god someone wrote this and thought it was poetic or something. Seriously, try saying some of the stuff that they say in the game out loud, it sounds so awkward.
Considering that only buddies can be killed, (someone correct me if i'm wrong) compared to key characters I don't think so, [SPOILER[He seems quite important to the narrative.[/SPOILER]
Idiots? Clicking on spoiler threads by accident is easily done on mobile, especially when you have 3 other MGS related threads up at the same time.
I posted that there were MAJOR spoilers out in the wild so people who accidentally clicked would see it and gtfo before shit got spoiled.
So please, tell me again why we are idiots...

Huey is compulsory though. May even act as tutorial for later targets
Is this really that surprising?

Nobody in movies talk like real people either
his voice is fine, he has a very slight accent that is true to what he says
bodies are compared to fruits all the time
villains always monologue
it's an acted script, you don't see me saying shakespeare out loud without it sounding awkward
I still hope that Quiet is playable though. Weird they'd make soldiers but not her playable.

Could you cite some of the lines you have issues with?
I mostly remember Skull Face talking about how his mother tongue was taken from him. You occasionally get these flashes of brilliance,
I love how they explain the importance of a language to any culture and once you take their language, you begin taking apart their culture.

Me too but a few things -
BB didn't die in Metal Gear 1 so that's a huge blue balls moment. When you do kill him in 2, it's with an aerosol can and a lighter. Now I don't think changing the weapon you use to kill him would be a big deal at all but it's silly to do a big death scene when we know that's not really where he dies.
Because you want to defeat the entire purpose of the thread just to spare the handful of people whose thumb slip on their smartphone.
Movie threads in OT get clear spoiler rules, but gaming can't manage?
Actually, from watching/imagining both games and anime as live-action adaptations I've realised just how much the stylisation for lack of a better word contributes to the suspension of disbelief.

So, I didn't realize at first, but it looks like the boot camp build of the game is specific to the event (with no ending). Jason Schreier just got his review copy delivered, and it's apparently a full retail copy. So reviewers will have played the whole thing.

Weird. So do we know which journalists are getting full copies...?

Is the spoiler something that was greatly anticipated or something else? Just tell me that.
I don't want to look! lol

Something else.

No clue, but who's at the event? It seems more like MGS community figures, no? Not reviewers from Kotaku/GB/Polygon/IGN.
Maybe the bootcamp is more a promotional thing than a formal review event.

I would have said it was something greatly anticipated but that depends on your theories about the game and whom you speak to.

So who here is on Team "Quiet Is Chico" ?

Well we know Egoraptor is there from one of the deleted tweets from a person who went, Yongyea who seems to be a popular MGS streamer, Greg Miller who isn't in official media anymore but he hosts his own personality driven show...
yeah. Giant Bomb was invited to it, but Jeff said that they would rather do stuff with the full copy of the game.

Yea no, plenty of conversations in film sound completely natural, in fact, i'd say the majority of conversations in film sound completely natural. The film industry would be nowhere near as successful if so many acclaimed directors didn't know how to write proper dialogue and characters that are incredibly relatable to a wide audience. Even stylized films, comic book films, animated films have dialogue that is just compelling as hell to listen to and sounds completely natural. Even average film writers are capable in that regard, for the most part at least. Come on man. Notice how I didn't mention how well acted this stuff is in film, that is just not a statement you can make. If somehow films get to the point where dialogue flows as "naturally" and stilted as in twilight and the Star Wars prequels, then by all means, make that statement. Theater acting is a completely different animal from film, and Kojima isn't trying to emulate theater. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that film is perfect, you can find plenty of examples that prove the opposite, but, a ton of film dialogue is infinitely more believable than what you usually get in metal gear games.
I for one, hope for an explanation on literal invisibility. Really messing with my suspension of disbelief since there. If we have the technology for mechs, invisibility, possible super soldiers, then the fact that we still somehow have audio tapes seems ridiculous.
This entire sequence.
It doesn't sound natural at all in audio form either.
The specific way we get Quiet is new info, I assumed it would be a boss fight, perhaps it still is but we can't use lethal weapons, there has been very little info on boss fights.
Regarding the subject of faces:
I believe you customize an "Avatar" which will represent you when you invade other F.O.B's using Snake. The character you create in that scene will be what Big Boss looks like for the other player when you invade another player just to avoid having two Big Bosses looking exactly identical on screen

I'm doing it because it seems like a bunch of people came into the spoiler thread saying they don't want spoilers.
Whatever, I'm ok with being a bit careful for this game.

We need to establish a new country for those who wish to post spoilers without fear of persecution.
A place where trolls and spoiler happy people will always have a place. Such is the will of Evilore also called... The Boss
We will call it ... Diripientium Sans Frontiers

I'm on Team "Either Quiet is Chico, or Kojima deliberately trolled to make it seem very likely."
... Why? Why would you do this?
Seeing MGS V and SPOILER in the same sentence?
The temptation is too great to resist. :'(
Yeah, as of yesterday my colleague was only 5% complete and have me a general idea of how many missions the game contains.

Even searching "metal gear solid V spoiler" on twitter yields no results.

Not at all. Love the MGS storyline, easily the most expansive in gaming, but if a spoiler ruins a GAME for you then it's not worth much. MGSV is about 10 tons of VIDEOGAME with lots of replayability. You sitting down with the controller is the real experience!

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
Didn't BB turn into a cyborg when his skin melted off in MG2? Perhaps... that wasn't him.

I came here looking for spoilers. I leave disappointed.
I love the MGS series for its gameplay first and foremost so honestly don't mind getting the story spoiled. I just want to see the end of all the crazy theories, and see which one of them were true.

Apparently the build at the preview event is basically completed but the developers omitted the ending.

Isn't it review event and not "preview". I read the tweet of Jason from Kotaku who apparently got his review copy so maybe they are sending the full game to the big sites.
It's a review event. Once the event concludes, they leave with the retail copy to continue their progress.

Yes, review. My bad.
The embargo already lifts Sunday, which is quite a nice change from their usual release day embargo.

If his skin all melted off, the worst thing he could turn into would be Rose.

I think what they said was that it wasn't MGO related.
They secretly want to be spoiled.
