Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain | Review Thread | Words That Kill

I've got a local shop who usually hooks me up with early releases but it doesn't look like they'll be getting this one in early. If anyone in the US manages to pick it up early and wouldn't mind overnighting a copy to Florence, SC (I'll pay for shipping) please PM me :-)
 
But you can just play the whole game being alone.
This is the way to play an MGS game IMO. I'll also switch all HUD off, disable reflex mode, enemy presence display and marker display, and I'll turn the DS4 speaker volume down to zero so I won't have to listen to that stupid iDroid voice.
 
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.
Usually if you go to a really ghetto location. I straight up ask them if they got any copies in the back or if the shipment came through and they let me buy it.
 
Did anyone received the Collector's Edition?

We received the american version yesterday and they don't have any DLC code.

We're waiting for an answer from Konami, but I'd like to know if the problem is general or with this version only.

Thanks!!!

PD: By the way, the game is a masterpiece... Kojima is a genius.

PD2: I think you'll see the name "Hideo Kojima" on the game every two hours or less, hehe... well played, Kojima san.
 
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.
thanks man. I would hate to miss out on this game.

I've heard reports of this as well. What's the deal with this?
 
Finally pre-ordered

STANDING
 
I'm desperately hoping I'm going to wake up tomorrow and find that all the Australian retailers have decided to break street date. I can't sit through another five days of seemingly everyone but me having the game.
 
Yeah that's what I thought. Damnit.
Might just put an order in at allyourgames as well :P. 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...)

Just a heads up, I advice you to send allyourgames an email seeing as they've got quite the amount of pre-orders. Just to make sure you'll actually get it on Saturday ;)
 
Damn I really hate all of you who get to play the game already....:(

And to think I have to wait for xx hours when I get my copy (since I need to restore data from my present PS4 to the new limited one...) Hmm so thinking of calling in sick for a few days next week. Then I just need to convince my wife and kids to hang somewhere else during that time:)
 
So the postman is on the other side of the street, he has to do a few more before he comes back down on my side, all thus to find out whether he has it or not!

Just ordered, I really can't wait anymore.

Will try sending an email but budgetgaming shop reviews are telling me they don't reply to emails, lol.

Thanks for the tip btw. Hope we can both play saturday!

God speed brother.

My postman did my next door neighbours house then fucked off down the street for about an hour came back with it. A true Diamond Dog.

I got very quick responses, hell I even got a response at 23:30 . Last time I send them an email ( I believe Monday ) I got a response in five minutes.
 
Good lord no. I have principles.

I meant the waiting/everyone else on the planet having the game bit.

Thank the lord. For a moment I was worried you were one of those unrefined homunculi in that colonial antipodean cesspit.

But yeah, I only have to wait until Saturday. And even that's killer.
 
Is there any word on the hours of gameplay? Just so I can have an idea.

Only played Metal Gear Solid on the PSX btw. Watched some video's on Youtube about the story and I think i'm in love.

Lots. You're looking at ~40 hours to complete the base story. Probably another 10-20 to get all the story aspects complete/collected (side missions, cassettes, etc).

Then there's the evidently endless amount of easter eggs, hidden content and replayability. Lots of people seem to have 70 or even 90+ hour counts already.
