Metal Gear Solid V: Gamescom Gameplay Demo

Ugh if only phantom cigars were real. I NEED THIS GAME.

I cant wait to collect every song in this game. Part of me hopes "Haddaway - What is love" is in the game. Pull up to the battlefield and MB just jamming away.

Do you guys have any 80's songs y'all wanna hear in the game?
 
I'm really getting tired of hearing this as a defense for any criticism of any part of this game. I follow news about MGSV religiously, and any time someone brings up something they don't like, everyone just jumps to this "well don't use it then" response. I didn't say the feature was causing me cancer. I expressed how I thought it was a bit ridiculous. I'll still use the mechanic because I'm sure I'll have fun with it, but there's no need to respond with this cheap-ass discussion-ender every time someone expresses their distaste for a particular game mechanic.
Very selective about the part of my post you respond to, aren't you? I offered plenty of room for discussion and have been continuously discussing the wormhole stuff for a couple of pages in this thread. I said that as an alternative for you if you did find it too jarring, it was not intended to be a conversation ender like you suggest. I'm glad you say you'll use it and have fun with it regardless because at the end of the day that is why we play games. Not to have ultra realism, but to have fun.

Can we all just be excited for what is going to be a fucking amazing game and is less than 1 month away?
 
My issue with the wormhole is if they actually had that technology, it would be more valuable than all the metal gears, nanomachines, and the philosophers legacy combined.

Maybe it's a special item like optic camo

I am sure it won't be easy to get.

Also, you guys are treating this way too realistically.
 
Just to keep the discussion flowing a little bit. I was wondering what arm people are most interested in using and potentially rolling with for the majority of the game?

So far, we have blue arm for pulling things towards you, the rocket arm, the arm that can electrocute, standard red and we know that there's an arm that can extend reflex time.

Reflex extension seems like the most useful to me although I'm not sure if I want to make the game inherently easier by using it. Otherwise it'll probably be the blue arm for me.

Yea that's why I find it kinda off. Something so utterly groundbreaking, even for today, being used as an upgrade to a balloon.

What if it's only available for FOB Intrusions/Defense?

Rocket Punch obviously.

The JEHUTYYYYYYYYY
 
This is probably just me trying to justify all of the wormhole goofiness but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just about bending the rules of what we should perceive as real or true about the events inside the game.

Yes, there's actual events and narrative there, and yes there's the game and the goofiness, but maybe there's even some metanarrative of the MGS2 kind, where we as players can accept, and have been accepting, the weird shit in the MGS universe, but the fall into insanity, loosing the grip on what's real or just going through the pain Big Boss is feeling might be used by Kojima to justify (and even purposefully introduce) the weirdest shit he can think of, both because it's the ultimate MGS game, so he can put everything he has ever wanted, and because he wants to make a point by making the players painfully aware how crazy it all is and make them question if it's all actually happening as well as their actions.

It's like if kid Psycho Mantis is messing with the player during the course of the entire game, and since the player is really just one more of Big Boss' voices inside his head (or arguably the actual "protagonist"), what we and him experience is our mutual interpretation of the actual "historical" events that probably didn't have wormholes, but for all intents and purposes they very well might have.

Or, you know, they're just actually wormholes.
 
Just finished watching this...
Yoooooo
Is this game for real? I can't believe this exists. How much can you DO in this game?
Pack it up everybody, MGSV is coming. Game of the century right here

What Is Love would be a pretty fantastic track to have in the game. I can't imagine how outrageously awesome setting my helicopter music to that track would be.

The pink arm, it's the one that shoots playboy magazines at guards.
 
This game is doing weird things to me. I'm currently unemployed and looking for work, and deep down, part of me legitimately wants to stay unemployed till the game comes out so I can play the shit out of it without having to worry about going to work.

Is that bad GAF...?

I expected Motherbase to be detailed, but holy fucking shit somehow I am both not surprised and completely surprised.

It's Kojima.

And this is his magnum opus, just as MGS3 was the peak of the series for me, it looks like this game might top it.

DAT SCORE. I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've really heard any of the music.

Off topic, but this is the first time I ever saw the original version of that gif. I never even knew it had one!

September is probably going to be my busiest month of the year.. and I'm going to neglect basically all of it because I can't wait to have this game.
 
I said a little while ago that Rocket League was my game of the year unless TPP totally blows me away. I am convinced just from this video that it will be hands down my GOTY in a year full of great games. I'm so impressed by what I saw I still don't believe it.
 
I do like that they're going all out with crazy shit for the pvp base invasions. I hope that wormhole thing is a super expensive item or some limited shit that you have to get tons of S ranks on missions for or something.
 
Have we had any explanation yet for the horn growing out of his head? I've noticed it was longer in a few trailers, and I'm intrigued as all hell to what it could represent.
"Kaz, I'm already a demon"

Its a piece of shrapnel, guess he got it in the accident at the end of Ground Zeroes.

All the trailers have made it pretty clear that it's a visual representation/psychological manifestation of his descent into depravity and revenge following the massacre of his comrades at the end of Ground Zeroes. The object itself is shrapnel from the helicopter crash at the end of GZ though.
