Where did you get your copy from?
Mom and Pop shop most likely.

Any currently active streams??
We do a lot of work on the retail side of things for clients and occasionally they'll get us a few extra copies of a game for the office. Being the youngest there always leads to me getting a copy of whatever title we're helping to promote. For instance I got Madden today for free. I wasn't sure if we were going to get anything for MGSV so that's super exciting.
That's definitely a valid way to play them. When the cutscene ratio is like MGS2 or MGS4, I don't prefer that, but it's great for those that favor the story. With the way MGS is, it appeals to people for different reasons. Some like the stealth action and experimenting with guards, gadgets, and the environment. Some like the cutscenes and codec more. So games like V and 4 tend to divide the fanbase depending on what portion of that spectrum you're on.
It's funny when some say (not saying you btw, just a comment seen in various MGS threads here) that MGS has never been repetitive gameplay focused missions though. Since VR and alternate missions have been a staple of the series since the PSX and GB releases. This and PW just work that aspect into the main game finally.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
So is every copy in the initial shipment a "Day One" edition? (I've seen games before where only pre-orders get them then they have regular copies for walk-ins)

Do not scroll down on any Youtube video. Any video. Some asshole could be trolling a Mario Maker gameplay video with the ending at this point.

How do you get it so early? Is there a PC version available too?

Even if there was, you couldn't play it before it unlocked on steam next week.

I have 2 copies lol. Next day air to NJ coming up
If my friend doesn't end up wanting it sure lol
What game? What game are you talking about?
TPP? Have you played it already? Or Peace Walker?
I have a full time job, two bands, and a busy home life. I still managed to squeeze 30+ hours into Ground Zeroes in the last year or so. It's a pleasure and I'll be taking my time beating all of Phantom Pain, too. It's not like there's a time limit for finishing this stuff. If the gameplay's all enjoyable, then what's the problem? It's not like Arkham Knight where 100% true ending is locked behind a whole suite of terrible Tank battles (great side content aside).

Nail + hammer = head.
I even recall the developers saying this verbally. This is from a long time ago, so I might be wrong; but IIRC they'd rather not have had CODEC calls at all, and have it all animated/in-game.

Ahhh shit, forgot about twitch comments too.
Regarding different storytelling style in MGSV, Kojima already openly talked about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yOuGmZ0THk
He wanted to make a video game, and for a videogame, gameplay is the thing that should tell stories. The traditional storytelling in MGSV is just a framework for enabling gamers of all types to start crafting their own stories in the field. He also trimmed the impact of Big Boss on screen. To Kojima Big Boss is Mad Max - silent protagonist that is put into the story that is being built by other side characters.

FOB gameplay:
☑ This guy's loadout is CRAZY! ☑ My FOB can't win against a loadout like that ☑ "He NEEDED precisely those two weapons to escape" ☑ He set the only mine that could beat me ☑ "He had the perfect fultons" ☑ There was nothing I could do ☑ I played that perfectly"

Well, Jim can't. He is banned from Konami and need to wait with us for the actual sale.

The best decision Konami has made...in a while.
Also when is the Edge review hitting?
The PC code has not been made available yet so nothing from PC Game or RPS.

He's banned for calling them out in their bullshit.
For blacklisting him because he called them out on their bullshit?

In your opinion. Some people like their video games conveying story through cut scenes.
GiantBomb did not go to the review event so they will wait until review copies are sent. From Jeff's Tumblr:

Haven't watched today's launch trailer in fear of anymore spoilers since we're so close to release and Im getting it day one.
How spoilery is this trailer? Do you advice me to just skip it or is it harmless?

I haven't seen it, but I haven't because everyone says it spoils a pretty big twist at the end.
so, a big nope from me
Granted, I am hard pressed to find much good in Konami, but Jim Sterling is an honest man and suffered for it. It's unfair to say it's good they banned him.
It spoils something important directly and other things that need a keen eye and maybe some spoiler knowledge. I wouldn't touch it, if I were on blackput.
