From the man himself:

Hey--

Sorry that I've been away today, folks!

Are we all clear now? These Let's Plays don't even make it to Mission 6, and the game's effin' huge. Off the top of my head, the only "reveal" in any of them was in a trailer forever ago.

These ain't going to spoil anything other than Big Boss' sexy crawl and how bad I was when I started playing.

<3

Megaton.

nopenopenopenope

Spoiler

pls be the 1st already

 

[NotLiquid]

Am I going to have to avoid YouTube too

 

[Corpekata]

Do we know which version?

 

[MrMatt555]

Don't do this to me, Greg.

 

[GeekMarty]

Lol, I'm sure as shit ain't gonna watch this.

 

[Mifec]

Do we know which version?

PS4 is the only one given to reviewers so most likely that.

 

[jett]

They really shouldn't be doing this shit. Fuck this current streaming culture. I'm not watching a thing.

 

[Killthee]

It comes out on the 1st right? What the hell? Do review copies not come with an NDA?

 

[L33T]

Wait, so he's only doing Mission 0 to 5? That's good. Looks like I won't have to go dark after all.

aka kill greg miler and konami

"I don't care if I ruin one of the most important games of the last few decades. I need YouTube hits!"

The Internet will now be a minefield.

Shit.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

The last thing I want to do is watch somebody else play this game.

 

[Gaogaogao]

wat.

Mission 0 would be the prologue, which will not go up until after MGSV is out!

 

[Corpsepyre]

Reviews come out on the 23rd, so this makes sense. I just hope we don't get splattered with spoilers everywhere.

 

[Erban1]

Only up to mission 5 and no intro? I might take a peek and make sure to take a way different approach to everything I see

 

[occelinho]

Not going to watch it either, even if there will be no spoilers.

[Living Proof]

Mother of God.

I'm usually pretty good at restraining myself and avoiding any potentially spoiling media for my anticipated games, but I've barely watched anything related to MGSV outside of some online stuff and have seen only a few random screenshots.

The closer we are to release, the more fucking hyped I am, and it's hard to not indulge. I don't even care that it's Greg Miller doing it.

Edit: I see there's no "real" spoilers to be worried by according to that tweet, but I'd consider anything I want to experience fresh myself as spoiler territory.

 

[libregkd]

Terms of the NDA vary between game. The streaming stuff is happening after reviews hit and hell it could be the reason he is only playing up to mission 5 is probably because that's as much as the NDA allows him to do.

 

[L33T]

Oh, great! The Hospital scene is supposed to be on top tier hollywood movie levels, I gotta experience it myself.

Shit.

if peace walker is anything to go by, 5 missions isnt that long. its not like its half the game.

 

[KZXcellent]

They're not Let's Plays since it's literally one game, no need for the plural. Hell, it's not even an LP unless he finishes the game.

 

[Mifec]

I'd rather watch this than read his review since he is as "loony" about the game as slasher was about TEW.

They're not Let's Plays since it's literally one game, no need for the plural. Hell, it's not even an LP unless he finishes the game.

Let's Plays of games the LP-er never played before are pretty boring and infuriating anyway. My fav ones are of people who already mastered the game.

 

[ClearData]

Greg? Greg? Ggggrrrrreeeeeeggggg!

Spoiler

Don't do this to me. It's hard enough already.

 

[Kriken]

Well, it was nice knowing you internet *Mutes all Metal Gear tweets*

 

[Rei no Otaku]

Awesome. I don't care about spoilers so I'm down.

 

[MisterShine]

I'll be listening to the audio of what he thinks of it, but no video spoilers for me!

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Going to have to go on a media black out for this.

 

[JayEH]

I'm out!

 

[Kindekuma]

I'M NUCLEAR
I'M WILD
I'M SPOILING UP MY EYES

 

[Zombie James]

Must... not... watch...

 

[AgentLampshade]

Kojima should do a birthday stream.

 

[alr1ght]

This early embargo is going to kill any surprises this game has.

 

[Revven]

This early embargo is going to kill any surprises this game has.

Seriously. Not cool. :/

 

[Disgraced]

Yep. Starting the 23rd I'm visiting three pages on the Internet exclusively until the 1st. Can't risk it. Somebody somewhere will blurt out something.

 

[Boke1879]

Still not a fan of this. A review I'm fine with but even streaming 5 missions more than a week before release is a bit much.

 

[Anth0ny]

Dumb as fuck that they're letting reviewers stream so much of a highly anticipated, story driven game this far in advance of launch.

Someone has to advertise the game, I guess. &#128527;

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Fuck that

 

[Srey Plaughtered]

Just under 12 days left, I'll restrain myself. This is a really stupid idea though. Why not do a spoiler free preview/impressions over existing footage instead?

 

[Kandrick]

Okay, this is pretty stupid.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Oh ok just five missions. That's nothing. I still won't watch it cause watching someone else play the game is stupid but at least this won't ruin the game for everyone.

 

[-Deimos]

I'm watching. Bring on the spoilers.

 

[Se_7_eN]

Will not watch... What a great way to ruin the surprise.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Is KindaFunnyGames a new game press outlet? I would've imagined an exclusive of this magnitude would go to IGN, Gamespot or Giant Bomb?

 

[viveks86]

It comes out on the 1st right? What the hell? Do review copies not come with an NDA?

Pretty sure this is happening with Konami's permission. For all we know, they may have deliberately reached out to youtubers to stream the game as part of the marketing campaign. CDPR did that with Witcher 3 as well.

 

[NuttSack]

Why so early though? Why not wait 2/3 days prior it's release?
This is a great way to get assholes to spoil it.

 

[Kei-]

They really shouldn't be doing this shit. Fuck this current streaming culture. I'm not watching a thing.

What? Why shouldn't they be doing it? No one is forcing you to watch it.
