Yep. And the cheapest way to buy the cheapest area for an FOB is 22-23 dollars.

#FucKonami indeed. What a complete load of bullshit. They even had the gall to lie everyone to their face by clearly stating that everything will be unlockable in-game and that microtransactions are only there to "speed up progress".

Edit: Ah, missed there was a thread. My bad!
 
...Gamestops in my area (southern WI) aren't doing a midnight release for this. Heard both "lol no pre-orders" and "district managers said fuck it cause we didn't have the staff power." Wal-Mart it is!

It is Konami. Worst case (best?) scenario, people spoof their own Konami servers with the intent to "play it the way Kojima intended."
 
I pre-ordered this on Xbox one. Am I gonna be able to play at midnight or does it still have to download? The file size on my hard drive says that it's over 20 gigs, but I can't tell if it's already downloaded or if it's just saving space for when it's available to download.

It should have started downloading after your purchased it. Upon its completion, It should have been added to your library of games and it should say "Pre-ordered" on the icon. If it hasn't downloaded for whatever reason, it should be in your queue.
 
Have you
found any other classic Metal Gear music like from MGS1, MGS2, Metal Gear 1 and 2 or even the spin offs like AC!D and Ghost Babel yet?

At the moment no, just
Snake Eater(original) and Love Deterrence the acoustic version. Although I don't remember if LD was already there or I found it haha.
 
Just hit a major difficulty spike. Gonna give the game a rest now.

I've played 30 hours since Saturday and I'm feeling like a worthless human being.
 
We have it.

Konami confirmed multiple times 8/31 9 PM Pacific



The Steam unlock time is extremely unreliable.

yayyy so I can get up at 5 tomorrow morning and play a bit.

I won't get to play until after work tomorrow probably ugh fucking tuesday releases
 
Any idea when this unlocks on Steam? Steam for me says 11AM Eastern tomorrow.

From Steam Discussion (user Zorpen):

It's 8 hours to go for everyone. It doesn't matter if you live in US, UK, AUS or on Mars.
In 8 hours it will be 12 AM EST sep 1st, which is the same as 5AM GMT sep 1st, and 2PM sep 1st in Australia.
Steam clock is counting till prepurchase deadline, not release date.
NZ release time is not true anymore because Konami changed it ( https://twitter.com/popcicle/status/637426026381885440 ).
It will unlock at 12 AM EST sep 1st in the whole world.
Here is the timer:

What mission?

Extracting Huey?
Not a major spoiler guys just info to help complete a mission.
Lol that's not even hard, just sneak round to the left of the building and tranq everyone in your way. On the way back out just run round the way you came and when Sahelanthropus comes carry Huey and hide behind a rock, wait for Sahelanthropus to walk away and call the chopper.
 
Latest GeForce driver update is up.

Got the game today. Played a lil bit of the prologue on lunch and like everyone said, its soooo good. Classic Kojima. Cant wait to get home and finish it.
 
This might be a dumb question but will TPP switch from pre-order to purchasable on PSN at 12:00 am EST? The reason I ask is I have a 20% discount code and they can't be used on pre-orders.

Man, I so wanted to win that fight, but unfortunately, I had to tuck my tail and run. There definitely must be a way to defeat it. I assume there's a way to target Psycho Mantis somehow, since you see him at the start of the fight.
 
OMGGGGG SONG SPOILERS

I JUST FOUND SNAAAAKEEE EAAATERRRRRR!!!!!
Fantastic.

I guess there's now a chance Calling to the Night, Heavens Divide or The Best is Yet to Come are somewhere out there.
Which reminds me, I hope that instrumental Heavens Divide is somewhere out there too, just to put it on Pequod, in remembrance of my bro Morpho.
 
Any tips on Mission 8 and Mission 9 S rank? I don't enjoy the
missile launcher usage missions. Haven't had an issue with S ranks up until these two because you have to blow shit up now
.

Asking again on new page - my OCD won't let me move on until these are S ranked. :(
 
Just make sure you stay offline forever. That's imaginary money they're losing, and companies will actively spend money to stop that sort of bleeding.

Have you ever played a japanese online PC game? They never do anything about hackers. No need to stay offline whatsoever.

Seriously, I was like holshittheresametalgearchasingme! I didn't have weapons on me to even think about fighting it so I ran like a pussy and hid lol. I didn't notice mantis until I was in the chopper shooting it with the Gatling gun. Luckily we can replay missions so I'm gonna have a try at it when I have better weapons. Let me know if you manage to do it before me!

Some of the missions are time based as well so try and do it as quick as you can. Also try sneaking and C4 maybe? That first tank maybe a problem because it's stationary though.
 
Far beyond that. I don't wanna say the mission number cause it might be spoilers for some but I'll say I've encountered every moment from the trailers just about.
Have you encountered the kneeling on the ground while the buildings are burning scene yet? Everybody I've asked hasn't.
 
Massive spoilers for way deep in the story (within the 35-40 hour ballpark) but I need help.

For some reason, I was stuck as to what to do after getting the containers of info for the parasite for Code Talker, so in a rut, I hit the option to restart the mission in pause even though I am on Mother Base to see if Miller or Ocelot would tell me what to do again.

All of a sudden, I find myself watching Quiet being tortured. I mean I was aware of what was going on and caught on very quickly, but it was weird. But I went with it and like I said, I didn't feel lost in being told the story despite that. Then, to see if that would work again, I did it again. And it did, this time showing Code Talker spewing nonsense (though again, aware of what was going on and quickly picked up on it). Since then, I don't know what to do in terms of progressing the story as the checkpoint option just leads to well landing on Mother Base without nothing and there doesn't seem to be any story-driving missions/Side Ops that need doing.

Help?

Yeah, I was ticked as well. The only reason I'm sticking with GameStop is because I used some trade in credit to help with the purchase.
