Why does he wear the mask!?
Yeah, for some reason I looked at the clock and saw 23:55, don't know why haha
Blow up the first tank, kill the truck driver, use the 2nd tank to take out a few of them and finish the rest with rocket/grenade launchers.
What about Fallout?

Yes my point is those people were probably cheating or tampering with their save files, hence you do indeed need to be worried if you are cheating online in a Japanese game.
Damn, that sucks. 1 hour 58 minutes remaining until my UK preload unlocks, although my download will be never be finished in time, so I'll probably end up sitting up all night waiting for it to finish until 7am lol.

Oh man, DD is stupidly game-breaking. Just go near an outpost and every enemy lights up like it's Christmas.

I love that feature and to me it makes sense in the context of the buddy system and him being a dog with a good sense of smell.

You should turn that "highlight enemies through walls" bullshit off anyway, nub.

Its just one of those nights it seems...
Totally subjective of course but Fallout needs to step it up big time, it isn't the final chapter in a long running series - "end of an era" arc, graphics are INSANE, high production values, open world and freedom of choice is just so good. Excluding the story I doubt Fallout can surpass MGSV on a production/technical level.
But again totally subjective, MGS Fans are in for a treat.
This unlock confusion is really annoying. First it was unlocking on the 1st of September in NZ, then it was doing a rolling unlock as eCh timezone reached the 1st of September....both of which were fine with me because I'd be able to play after work tonight. But this US EST crap means I won't be able to play until after work tomorrow.

I'm sorry but all the complaints about too little cutscenes and not enough story baffles my mind. Mgs4 was a bunch of horseshit nonsense. I can't wait to play a game that has more gameplay than story. Bring it on!
Uh yeah 30 years of story building and suddenly it's not the focus? People including myself are going to be upset with that.

ummmm WHAT!!!?????????
It's pretty simple, yo. Some of us are in it for the story/cutscenes because we love 'em. I generally don't play games (aside from, like, in party environments) that don't focus on story. It's my jam. And for MGS, that's no exception. MGS is practically the rule.

I mean the only thing I can find online about Dark Souls bans is related to Scholar of the First Sin. We'll see what Konami does about it, but I for one expect to see rampant cheating in the PvP modes.

I think they hail from the land of the Queen. US PSN is still midnight ET.

As someone who is a massive fan of the series, you're not going to be upset. The story told via gameplay is unintrusive. This game is a follow up to Peace Walker and PW did exactly the same thing.... but the cassettes expand on just about everything. I'm 27 hours into it and I feel like there's enough story told in cutscenes to move the plot forward and more told in cassettes to give more context and world build.

Looks like bitching got the SPOILER thread name changed hahaha
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, way to spoil the MCU tie in.
I sure hope so. I actually loved MGS4 and all of the other entries. I play games in general for the stories.
As the other fella said, I sure hope so too. I play games firstly for stories, secondarily for gameplay. I'm glad to read this.

Just got buddy number 3
holy shit, GOAT, walking mode, driving mode, walking mode, driving mode, walking mode
Im a huge MGS fan and MGSV actually feels like a video game in the metal gear universe instead of interactive set peices featuring some gameplay. The only thing I dont like about the game is some grinding stuff which is bearable at the moment. But I dont know if the grinding will become worse or not.
I hated peace walker since it still had the expository cutscenes with grinding, worst and most jankiest controls and graphics that held the whole package back (MGS games have always pushed the limits of graphics in all gens). At least it was a transitional game that helped create the much much refined TPP.

If I was playing a MGS game and there was little story I would be quite upset, just don't be going in expecting MGS4 length cutscenes and look at it more as shorter chunks in a much bigger story and it's easier to get used to. I can imagine a lot of the complaints with the story come from how much gameplay there is around it. This is a massive game.

Yeah once the smoke clears I think this one is also going to be controversial.
There is barely cutscenes. The ridiculousness of classic MG has been massively toned down. Then there is the FOB and pay stuff. I figure some fans of classic MGS will hate this, and its lack of soul in a lot of the missions. Hayter probably hates it too.
In reality, I think this is what MGS was always meant to be. The games always threw so many weapons and tools at you, but the environment was way too small to let it all come to fruitition. In this game you can actually use it all and blow up what you want. Though I must say, luring away and tranquilizing dudes is still the way to go. Which is a bit of a shame but understandable. I find the gameplay still not really suited for going all out war. The shooting isn't up to snuff (barely feels different from MGS4). But I enjoy sniping a base from afar or calling an airstrike.
Have you played it yet?
The core and emergent gameplay is absolutely fantastic but there's some mechanics and design choices that's holding it back from being my GOTY so far.

Yeah pretty sure that's been the case with every mgo so you're probably right. Hopefully there is some option for private matches with friends.

Funny you should mention that...I literally just heard a conversation between two guys on Mother Base, they're talking about Quiet and where her abilities come from. "Come on man, she's not some kind of Bioroid", one of them says.
I also found the news broadcast from P.T playing on a radio in a hut in Africa.

47% of global completion, the game is really good.

I also had issues with the mission....
I cheesed it by getting a checkpoint where I was approaching the door of the truck, which triggered the Skulls.... then I still died about 10 times because I was so annoyed I didn't think to use the tanks.
The game implied you can take the truck and escape, but I can't see how that's possible.

This is VERY ALARMING if true man. I am fine with the game being massive and the story being more broken up, but I am here for the story continuation of the series, not very little story and lots of random gameplay. This post alone brings my hype level down.
