Not sure If I need to say this, but this is another one of my leaks confirmed ;-)

Soooo I've just made the silly connection as to why it's called Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain... V stands for Venom Snake, and of course we all know he's also eventually referred to as The Phantom (even in the hospital scene the doctor says "tomorrow you become a phantom")

Neat... another nod to the body double... The Phantom Pain could refer to his lost self... Venom seems so unsure of himself all the time.

Indeed and by the end of the game, we get to see The Phantom's pain too ;-)
 
Is there going to be a separate companion app for TPP or are they going to use the GZ app still? I couldn't find anything on the App Store yet.
 
Having just seen D-Dog come into play, does anyone know if the D-Dog training/growing up time is 'linked' to a certain number of missions, or if it's real-time based?
 
I've seen some say that this is the best looking console game they've ever seen. I really don't agree, especially after seeing Africa.

Eli got handed the disease and credits are rolling. WTF?!
Don't credits roll after every mission? Which one are you on?
 
This is the part of the game where you'll mostly be replaying earlier missions on harder difficulty settings, though. Expect to see the streamer be stuck on a few for a while, LOL.

EDIT: Oh, wait, you're playing this yourself? Nice, good luck :)

How does the story progress if you just do old missions with a higher difficulty? I want new missions. :[
 
That's the thing, they technically are new missions (at least, that's how they're presented) but content-wise, they're identical to earlier missions, just with a more difficult "rule set". So, the story won't progress at all until you do them. You'll recognize them by their extra label:

- [EXTREME], which means very hard difficulty (and no Buddies, IIRC)
- [SUBSISTENCE], you get send in naked; weapons and items are all OSP (No Buddies, too)
- [PERFECT STEALTH], getting detected is an instant Game Over (no Reflex Mode either)

I struggled the most with Perfect Stealth (although DeeDee definitely helped me out there), especially as the missions with that label featured LOTS of soldiers. Subsistence was easily the most fun.

Ah I see. Looking forward to them.
 
Two questions for PS4 owners: did you got any day 1 patch? And do trophies work? Somebody said earlier that they arent sync with the servers
 
If anyone has a link for a stream please pm me.

NVM, found STi4thewin's stream. LOL at Quiet being able to shower but not able to be hit by a water gun.
 
Good lord, the "Phantom Pain" song is incredible as an original song made to feel 80s.
A trailer with that would have been amazing, should have been in the launch trailer.

Reminds me so strongly of Mass Effect, because it's very similar to M4 Part II Faunts, the thought of MGSV having that feel makes me even more hyped.

She can be hit with the water gun, but the skin/parasites absorbs it like the shower. Ocelot explained that she drinks by showering.
 
And the reason for being almost naked is that she breathes through her skin. Should anyone feel ashamed now?

Yes, there's also the photosynthesis aspect that's explained in the same conversation. Everyone who called it out for being fan service should be ashamed. It's totally unlike putting Paz in her underwear for the final battle of Peace Walker, and it was important that Quiet be a naked woman with an important story explanation totally unique and unlike anything we were given with The End in MGS3 (the only male and consequently fully clothed sniper we've gotten in an MGS title, who also used photosynthesis for energy but without the necessity of being stripped down to his undies).
/s
 
Yep ocelot said something like that. And that supply tactic better not works on the extreme version of the fight :D
It better. In fact, i'm gonna test it out to see if it works on the other skull types as well. >:D

just got the tape that gives the fate of chico. He didint survive plane crash. rip
Lol really? That's a bi anticlimactic.. :|

The end had lungs and was able to breath normally, Quiet doesn't seem to be able to breath normally, I think that has something to do with the parasites. So there is a difference :>

Wasn't it a chopper tho? Totally different :>

Supply drop everyone :> Even ocelot or Kaz on Motherbase.

it was safe to assume thats what happened. but yea unless a flashback comes and shows it, its a off screen death. Amanda didnt seem too torn up about it according to the Cassette tape. Hell Snake was more upset about than her in that tape.

yep you are right (:V) im running off 3 days no sleep, so its all the same shit to me these days. IT FLYS lol

Not really the point I was making. As far as I am through it, she still seems at odds with the story's tone. She fits with the campy melodramatic MGS1/3 vibe but feels wildly out of place in V when you start extracting child soldiers from war zones in Africa.
 
Really? That's a bit of a cop-out. I mean he's kind of a huge focus of GZ... and they just off him in a tape? Seems like a total waste of a decent character --- but you know... "he knew the risks"

Well the events of GZ did happen because of Chico's actions if you think about it. Also a 13 (14?) year old kid surviving a helicopter crash at how it was shown in GZ? Unlikely.
yeah snake said the same thing "he knew the risks joining us?" yet he was kinda forced by snake in PW if i remember right. he just grew into it.

everybody gets a drop.

Even stranger.

Hoping sti4thewin comes back soon, hotline isn't that great at the game. :/
Where's hotline?

Gotta disagree as cheesing the way to victory counts. Then again, all I see are GMP costs. Fuck around and spend 100,000 GMP in a boss battle or something crazy to win.
 
Wait, were any of the rumors about Paz and someone else (people were saying Holly White I think) being clones of The Boss true? Like, it was a dealio similar to Les Infants Terribles.

One of the first things that popped up in this thread, pretty sure they were fake.
