Harry Gregson-Williams score is phenomenal, that is all.
EDIT: Also for those that have the game, try shooting Ocelot with the tranquilizer and see what happens.

You only get the (British) Royal Mail first class delivery free, and that's often 1 day. If you are outwith the Royal Mail first class region (UK only), you probably can't get the next-day delivery
Ah nevermind then. I already ordered with a dutch webshop who guarantees saturday delivery.. lets hope so. Im super jealous of you guys already playing.

Can anyone confirm that the copy from Simply Games is a UK copy with fully English writing on the front and back?
Yeah it is.
I won't spoil anything but that opening was 1 of the best I've ever played in a game. Absolutely incredible.
And open world Metal Gear? Yeah it's as good as it sounds. Blown away by it so far.

Can someone who also has the game help me out here? My game is installing after the intro but it seems to have got stuck. It says 507 seconds on the screen but that has been static since the installation started and now it's been about 20 minutes.
What would you suggest I do? It looks like it's really stuck but for obvious reasons I'm hesitant to close the application on PS4

It's really fucking good, just a shame that you always feel like you want more of it! But when it hits...
EDIT: Also yes, the opening is probably the best out of any MGS game by far. My favorite used to be MGS2.
EDIT 2: It's also kind of hard to talk about story impressions without spoiling but so far I am really enjoying it and the tapes are damn good. So far though there are TOO MANY questions and not enough answers. Also, Keifer is way more talkative on the tapes but he talks here and there in cutscenes for sure, but he is mostly the silent type as it has been said.
*leaves for the community thread*
Especially the second part – back when they announced MGSV would be open world, I think I wrote an entire article for the website I worked for saying it would probably be the best MGS of them all because of this.
Called it.

Guys, I played the game for a good 10 hours straight. It's almost 530am now and I really need to force myself away. I'm a big MGS fan, and the changes made in this one just make me insanely happy. It's amazing how the freedom to do what you want when you want flips the entire MGS formula on it's head. It still retains the crazy Kojima feel and story, but now it's more like a role playing game. I love just exploring which is something I never did in a Metal Gear game before. I'm already attached to the characters I've come across and I'm dying too find out what happens in the story. The game play is truly remarkable too. The amount of new abilities , weapons, customization and options blow every other MGS game away. I don't feel like I'm on a linear path, even though you can clearly tell which missions will advance the game. I'm insanely hooked.

Man, Gamemania is the last store i put my pre-orders nowadays, they're the most overpriced store compared to online shops. The fact that they're considered the biggest retail gaming store in the Netherlands but still don't ship out orders is hilarious.
Allyourgames? Same here

Does it feature the classic MGS theme from Sons Of Liberty and Snake Eater?
Reading stuff like this makes the wait THAT MUCH HARDER.

YES
Allays my fears about getting a censored version from the Middle East, though there's a small chance the EU version is censored.
Game Mania is pick-up only, they don't ship out stuff.Are you buying in person from Game Mania, or online?
Worst case, I will cycle to the local one and get it Tuesday (not sure if they are doing a midnight opening?). But would be nice if it arrives before the weekend from the UK
It's just waiting for the text message that it's available for pick up now. But I know they get their in-store shipments quite late sometimes so I'm afraid they won't even have the game until the weekend.
I really should find something else to keep me occupied
Game Mania is the best store to pre-order collector's editions, because they're usually the cheapest and the chance they screw you over *cough*GAME*cough* at the last moment is slim to none.
For regular games though? I don't ever buy anything there, way too overpriced.
Have you seen that the Austrian retailer where we both ordered, deleted the date for tomorrows dispatching?

Well, can't comment since I am not far but as of now, no. However, from what I am hearing it's a fantastic score. Triumphant instrumental score with a touch of sadness/anger and some synth mixed into it. It sells the feeling of BB and Kaz losing everything but they are coming back with a vengeance and the score highlights the feeling of coming back stronger but probably for the worse(revenge).

Postman please hurry up
Very late into the game.
Not really a spoiler but for those who want to be on full blackout I spoiler tagged it anyway.
Yes. But only one I know so far is tasteful. Spoiler:
You get it by finish mission 43 or something like that on extreme
Have you seen that the Austrian retailer where we both ordered, deleted the date for tomorrows dispatching?
Yeah but someone asked in the comments and the guy said the only thing they are allowed to say is the game comes out on September 1st so maaaybe we'll still get it sooner

You'll be happy to know that the game throws at you bits and pieces as you progress so you're always gaining new things to experiment with and do. It makes sense because you start with nothing and you grow as well as manage your MB slowly.
Soon you'll be ashamed of your words and deeds.
Is there any info on what exactly the GZ save adds to the game aside from the POWs and the sneaking suit?
I remember Kojima hinting about you being able to return to Camp Omega and do missions there but I haven't seen any confirmation on it

Best Buy STILL hasnt shipped. Gimme my CE damn you.
You can just not use her too, she is optional.

From what I've heard from some buddies who work at Gamemania is that they'll receive their shipment this Saturday.

So she's not a main story line if you choose not to take her on missions? I really do appreciate this guys.

Might check Walmart if they got it early.
I didn't play myself, but I'D say it's mid to late. But you can just ignore Quiet and just take the horse with you instead. Or just be by yourself.
She as a whole is optional. It could be that you don't even get her on the team. Furthermore, you will be generally alone and can just request assistence from an ally that follos you then. But you can just play the whole game being alone.
Yeah shopto told me it wasn't being shipped till Saturday either urgh. What's the point in following Konami request anyhow. They really expecting another game from them? Ha ha.
Not even gears of war has come and it shipped Monday from xtravision because it was cheapest basically.
This wait is much much much harder than I thought it'd be...

Yeah that's what I thought. Damnit.
Might just put an order in at allyourgames as well
. That way I won't have to fight with the boyfriend over who gets to play either (we'll just fight over who gets to have the big tv...)Exactly how I feel. I'll still be getting it early – Saturday – but in the mean time I've got a big gig to practice for, several games still on the go, and a game development project to work on...
I don't need MGSV now, but I want it now, damnit!
Yeah that's what I thought. Damnit.

Such a good decision if two of you want to play it simultaneous.

Has Wal-Mart ever broken street date on big releases?
I'm gonna go check with a local store that might sell it to me if they have it.
Of course the biggest issue is if they are getting it at all. They always seem to get new games late.
