[Alienous]

Honestly, we've seen enough gameplay in the trailers so I don't really need to read the reviews to educate myself what the gameplay is like. With the release only a week away, I'd rather just play it safe and stay away from any written reviews.

Eh...

I'll more than happily read the reviews that have been vetted as spoiler-free by other GAFer's who might not care to be spoiled. There are a lot of questions about how the gameplay comes together that aren't answered in the gameplay demonstrations.

 

[Boke1879]

A couple of reviewers have already warned against reading reviews as there's apparently a major spoiler that some reviewers don't actually view as being a spoiler, but to MG fans it absolutely is. So it's likely just going to be thrown into reviews casually without any warning.

HEY GUYS WE DONT THINK IT"S A SPOILER BUT TO MGS FANS IT IS BUT IT"S NOT A SPOILER!

seriously. They should just leave it out lol

 

[DieH@rd]

Seeing that one early mission from TPP replayed in five different ways cemented my belief this is a proper gameplay return to form, commitment to and evolution of the series design identity as a tactical stealth game.

Actually after Gamescom was done, we saw that small side mission being played in eight different ways. That's not even counting the examples Kojima made that never got chance to be played in a public way [for example, storming into that base with a tank ].



TPP will be such a awesome game for experimentation in both stealth and action scenarios.

Scores prediction:

Eurogamer: Essential
Gamespot: 9.5/10 or 10/10
gametrailers:9.8/10
Edge:10/10
IGN: 9.8/10

Yeah, I'm optimistic because the gameplay will be amazing. Every time I watch gameplay footage for TPP, I say this is a dream come true. Being a huge fan of the series and stealth games in general, I always wanted a game like this. This is how to make a stealth game, take note Ubisoft.

Let the scores prediction begin.

Yup after my first full playthrough and after I get really used to it all. It'll be such a fun game to mess around in.

in GZ you could listen to guard conversations. I hope there are plenty of those in TPP.

I will watch the final kojima trailer and glance at review scores. Not reading the reviews.

I must have missed three. I've seen:
- D-Walker usage
- Nonlethal with Quiet
- Sniper
- WRECK SHIT FROM HELICOPTER
- C4 guard

 

[Chance Hale]

Does anyone know if any basic Snake movement options have been added compare to Ground Zeroes? Ie, not counting vehicles and the like.

Funny thing is, every playthrough of that mission involved some kind of advanced item/buddy. Not a single one took the "ground zeroes approach" - tranq pistol and nothing else.

So at least I will have that, an unique combination that I can enjoy playing [night time stealth play, of course].

Hmmmm....

Cardboard box sliding down hills
Using his robot hand to attract soldiers [alternative to "knocking on walls" move]
Using "fultoned big items" [containers] to reach high platforms
Climbing on big vertical pipes [shown in motherbase video]
Mountain climbing at pre-made locations

I think we can lay down completely flat now by holding triangle while laying on the ground. Might be more stuff, but I wouldn't know.

^SPOILERS?! GAAAAAAH

- Rocket Punch

That was in the sniper one, wasn't it?

 

[DieH@rd]

There was a separate sniper video on Gamescom, Shawn used totally different approach from Rocket Punch video.

 

[Nyteshade517]

I think by Sniper he means the rocket punch one because that's the style of playthrough the person was using before ending with that

Quiet is too sexy, her boobs are big and jiggly, Kojima should feel ashamed of his words and deeds.

 

[Graphics Horse]

They did a few runs of public build at gamescom with a mix of horse, dog and walker

 

[Primethius]

The multitude of different approaches have had me convinced (on top of having played Ground Zeroes) for some time now that the gameplay in MGSV will be top notch.

I can't see many scenarios in which MGSV would be reviewed poorly (aka not high 8's/9's) based on gameplay alone. I think if it does, it'll all be based on story and other extraneous stuff.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I'm thinking about how I'm going to do my first playthrough. Probably a sniper playthrough, probably lethal.

 

[Rynam]

Mhh ok, somehow i had them as 2 different gameplays in my mind.

Or perhaps for game design outside of its core gameplay, like pacing, progression, mission structure, etc.

Two gamescom playthroughs I dug up

Well, you ain't gonna get tranq sniper for a while anyways. Tranq weapons are not easy to get/develop in the early campaign.

I just remembered, 50 hours of "analysis complete" "marker placed." "weather changed." Is there a way to turn that off?

 

[MiamiWesker]

Is the idea of playthroughs gone now that it's mission based and you can easily replay a mission with the push of a button. During my first play through I will replay many missions a ton of different ways including full stealth, full leathal and a mix of both. I assume the best score of the run is the only one saved.

 

[N° 2048]

Holy shit, I've been in such a media blackout that I forgot Quiet is in this.

Isn't there a way to shut up the iDroid?

That's what I was asking.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I mainly meant by voting for other games.

I am sure they did. I believe the only reason we had a second vote was cause the MGS4 haters wanted to prove it was a fluke. So I have little doubt they tried their hardest to get it to lose, didn't matter it still won.

 

[Mifec]

Probably not ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm dying to find out as well. Annoying as fuck the voice is.

Perhaps the iDroid's relentless updates is what drives Big Boss to villainy? I know I'd go nuts after a couple of hours in the field with that thing.

 

[Mifec]

It has Quiet though, the "poor girl" needs more clothes.

on PS4 it comes out of the DS4 speaker right?, i wonder if just lowering the volume will suffice.

If I was at home I'd try right away. Someone else perhaps could?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

This is correct. I actually had the volume down quite low on it. I was happy with that solution.

 

[Primethius]

This is true and I could definitely see how mission structure and pacing could be problematic in an open world game.
