First mission question.

Spoiler

where are the rough diamonds hidden in Spugmay Keep?

Spoiler

Interrogate the soldiers to find them or usually in buildings. Any materials and items can be found in buildings. Plants well, all around you.

Should I leave reflex mode on or off?

I noticed the A.I is pretty good actually so I'm unsure.

They can spot you from 40 meters away if you aren't careful so, it's up to you.

Off, as long as you mark everyone obviously.

Thanks.

On. Always on. Without it you just get instant, base-wide alerts the moment you put a foot wrong; the game is designed to be played with Reflex Mode.

 

[dukeoflegs]

The phone app is downloadable if anyone is interested. I thought I could waste some time while I wait for the game to be delivered, but it crashes on me at start. Couple more hours of waiting.

 

[Teknoman]

Hmm Amazon shipping question for the game:

If I ordered a couple other games with MGS V, all in one order, Is Amazon really going to wait until everything is ready to ship?

Is there no way to change that?

 

[plake]

Found it, this guy, just seemed to work all of a sudden.

Thanks so much! It's 8 am here in Sweden and I still can't buy it or put any funds in my wallet. Guess I'll have to call Sony and maybe go physical disc version. RIP

MGS is my favorite series of all time but I would like to know for the people who love the cutscenes so much, how would you do MGS5? knowing that the context of this game is you coming back as a legend and rebuilding what you lost. I mean in that context, I see no other way to do it than what Kojima did and he succeeded in that, you feel like you're Big Boss in every sense. There is still crazy shit happening with the story but it's spread out and it's heading in a very interesting direction so far. Much better than the base game this was built on which is PW, like megatons better in terms of gameplay, cutscenes, bosses and story.

Furthermore, it plays like a dream with more options to do things than you can think of.

EDIT: The replay value for this game is insane and that's without FOB or MGO.

It's easily the best in the series for me.

But I never put the other titles on that high of a pedestal to be honest, even though I really did enjoy them. Gameplay wise, they can only wish to be MGSV. Don't for the lack of wacky cutscenes, I've forgotten most of them anyway.

 

[flipswitch]

OK I'll turn it off next time I play.

How do you intimidate a soldier when you grab him from behind in a hold?

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Online is annoyed than i thought. It connects to server every time I open iDroid

 

[Crossing Eden]

Should I leave reflex mode on or off?

I noticed the A.I is pretty good actually so I'm unsure.

Game isn't designed without it in mind. Enemies can see much farther than in GZ when you're just exploring.

 

[SlickVic]

Damn if GMG doesn't get their keys in tomorrow, I may have to go hunting for an nVidia code.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Yea I turned off online mode. Don't see myself using it ever again. What purpose does it rally serve?

Well if you check the microtransaction thread apparently it ruins the entire game, lol.

 

[weshes195]

Uh, hey dumb question, no spoilers, but in episode one where am i supposed to go?

To where the yellow mark is? Just that i was told to put a marker at a town and didn't know which one to go to.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

You folks enjoy TPP, while I sit here waiting for Morpho to deliver my copy...

 

[M.Steiner]

Damnit. Set my alarm for 5 and either that didn't go off or it didn't wake me up.

Beginning my download now, anyway. Should be done in 2hrs 50mins.

 

[george_us]

I'm sure it's been said before but the controls are insanely smooth. Crazy considering just how much stuff you can do.

 

[Darksol]

This game is so god damned good.

 

[De_Legend]

White marker then yellow.

 

[TheHollowNight]

The Prologue...what in the fuck.

 

[ZeroX03]

Can someone PM me that thing in Mother Base you shouldn't miss early on?

 

[aliengmr]

You folks enjoy TPP, while I sit here waiting for Morpho to deliver my copy...

I totally tranqed those guys so they wouldn't make noise. Guess that was a bit much

 

[FlyinJ]

Can someone PM me that thing in Mother Base you shouldn't miss early on?

Me as well.

 

[flipswitch]

The Prologue...what in the fuck.

Done my head in too. I was glad when it was over because of that.

 

[matrixman92]

i wish the game would tell you all the tasks in the episode and not just have them as question marks...apparently missed a few in episode 1

 

[Gaz_RB]

Y'all overhyped the intro. Game is great though.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Just one more sleep and a full day of work. Then its 3 days of no work and just MGS. I can't wait to not be jealous of all of you playing it already.

 

[MMaRsu]

u mean pequo

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

The TPS mechanics in this make it very hard to want to stealth through like other MGS titles

They are too good.

 

[KorrZ]

V HAS COME TO

 

[Bsigg12]

Does anyone got a video for completing side OP 152? I can't find 2 targets.

 

[Original Man]

1st episode spoilers.

Spoiler

How but them skulls!

 

[AgentOtaku]

Tomorrow is gonna be insane:

-picking up MGSV
-picking up Fury Road
-picking up Mad Max
-...and it's my son first day of 6th grade

 

[Ghost Slayer]

1st episode spoilers.

Spoiler

How but them skulls!

Spoiler

Those skulls are awesome, running from them and they chased me with high speed. I wonder if they are bosses

 

[rrc1594]

How but them skulls!

Spoiler

I ran pass them, then they caught up I was like oh fuck

 

[Vampirolol]

Loving everything so far, afterall I only watched a trailer a year ago! Snake being silent is my favorite part, feels like a Nintendo character and gameplay is far better than Ground Zeroes.
My only problem was that in the first mission

Spoiler

Ocelot told me to go to that little group of houses, I went there, put everyone to sleep but couldn't find anything. He talked about the antennas but still I didn't know what to do

, but I'm probably going to solve it myself when I have more time to play.

 

[aravuus]

Loved the prologue

The sound directing is fantastic too, one of the rare games I really want to play with headphones on

 

[iDotDotDot]

Wow, beat the prologue and I just made it to the 1st mission, and the game is amazing. It's just like the trailers made it out to be, no loading no lag no bullshit. PC version runs like butter.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Without any spoilers, how was the intro?

 

[ZeroX03]

Prologue confirms the superior OT title was chosen.

 

[A-V-B]

I wasn't able to connect to Konami servers. Does this mean I've lost all my GZ save carryover? And will it come back if I can connect?

 

[iDotDotDot]

Loved the prologue

Yeah I got a new pair recently and I was amazed when turning my head and I could hear the sound fading and switching sides.

 

[Dragun619]

Didn't see it mentioned in the op so could anyone tell me what stuff I need to do to maximize my Ground Zeroes save transfer?

Is it really just rescuing all the prisoners?

 

[subrock]

I just picked up ground zeroes on the weekend and have been flailing at it since it's my first MGS since PS1. Is there a tutorial section of the full game or are you thrown in like an asshole like Ground Zeroes?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Yeah, it lasts about an hour and ensures I'll only play through the game once unless there's a way to skip it completely. Infuriatingly slow.

Prologue is pretty much a tutorial, and in game they prompt you with new tips when its relevant.

 

[Astral]

Random question, but is Amanda (Chico's sister) dead? I think they mention it in GZ.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

So do people with Nvidia codes get the pre-purchase bonuses or not?

 

[Vampirolol]

Without any spoilers, how was the intro?

Teaches the controls to new players and entertains the old ones with an interesting cinematic experience. It's slow and sometimes repetitive in what happens but I loved it.
Oh yeah, the soundtrack is amazing, sometimes tracks start even when you listen to tapes.

 

[soultron]

Wow, that intro was (impressions only, I've spoilered them so people who haven't played it don't have to read it yet)

Spoiler

so awful. I get the point that's trying to be expressed, but there was so much fat that could've been trimmed from that. It's one of the worst bloated, most overproduced tutorials I've ever played in a game. It could've been 30 minutes shorter. I absolutely hated that and couldn't wait for it to be over.

The new camera direction since Ground Zeroes also makes me very motion sick. There's a lot of rack zooms, constant close ups, and really bad shaky cam. I couldn't finish the movie Cloverfield because of motion sickness, and it's a really bad problem here. The same is true in The Phantom Pain.

 

[meanspartan]

Post prologue mild spoilers

Spoiler

cant find what it is Im supposed to find in town 1 (the one that supposedly has clues about Miller)

Any tips?
