I see it as the best MGS opening really because it's full of mystery, dark as shit and mindfuck all over. On top of that,
it gave you the control which was something I'm not expecting lol, I was expecting an entire cutscene like all the other MGS games.
Edit:
I also forgot dat horse riding battle and damn that score when the credits start rolling.
Where, and what line does it repeat?
The whole thing I think. "Don't touch that dial now, we're just getting started". You'll come across it during the story missions.
geez guys I didnt HATE it, mostly cause its Metal Gear
but be real, we played the exact same thing as the reveal trailer, bit by bit, at a snail's pace
how can you be blown away / not get why some people wouldnt like to get control taken away and slowly go through something they have already seen?
I love how the game moves and I just wanted to move. they could have easily saved time for what it does plot-wise too
its not terrible, it just could be shorter and snappier

I wonder what all I missed by taking the long senic route way around the first few camps...

Uninstall GZ and re-install it, should work. That's what I did thanks to a member on here who told me how.

Got my Collectors Edition PS4 today, installed, updated and redeemed the CE codes that came with the package (MGO codes are not redeemable at the moment).
Then I remembered the code inside the GZ box. Tried to redeem it on PSN and it just throws up an error. What gives?

Mission 16 is complete fucking bullshit. What the fuck am I supposed to do at the end? The checkpoints fucking suck in this mission as well.
i moved my mouse around and then used the keyboard to move around the menus and then i was able to input my name.

No idea, it has happened before. I just mash R2, I have a hunch that if a Soldier sees you coming for a while fully alert depending on distance to get to him I'd say it gives them time to pull out the knife.
I couldn't wait for it to be over. I got the point after 15 minutes.
Show me the muscle atrophied movement bits in a cutscene. I didn't enjoy having zero freedom of movement aside from pressing forward on a stick to make BB flail around like we've already seen in early trailers. That shit was criminal bad.
Thank goodness the game gets 1000 times better once you're given total freedom an hour or two into the game.

not everyone watches them over and over or even once.... i knew the game would start where it did, but i only watch trailers once and that one was what like a year or 2 ago....
i stayed in the dark for the most part... i don't ruin games by watching stuff on it and analyzing media over and over before i play the main game.... it of course may be a little bit of a drag on a second play-through, but I didnt see if i could skip any of it, plus that will be a loooong time from now i see myself putting 100 hours first time through.

awesome...just tried to reload a checkpoint after failing a task and I was still able to do it. So there is really no penalty to reloading in this game at all.
so you agree that you get why some people might not enjoy it as much and find problems with it and how others dont
that's all
also I watched the trailer like 2 times and the first one was when we were all basically guessing it was Metal Gear on TPP reveal thread
its not about ruining games for yourself, even if I loved the intro I could still perfectly understand how it might not be everyone's cup of tea to have to so slowly go through something like that
limited slow movement is rarely a good thing in videogames
Well you don't get the 5000 point bonus in main missions but that's about it.

I could see where people are coming from with the intro being slow but goddamn, the dude just got out of a 9 year coma haha.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I felt the intro gave a lot more info than the reveal, the way things played out in it really kept me on my toes as to what was really going on and
Also,
Finished up a few missions and side ops, found baby D Dawg. Think Imma call it a night. It's everything I hoped it would be.
Also, Kaz rescue mission spoielrs:
Also interesting is it's near the top in the most played Xbone games. Only Destiny, GTA5, and Fifa are above it.

dat Quiet reveal.

oh thats what it is? Ive been looking for it subtracting points, but it hasnt been.
it's def needed, I just wish games found another way to handle that stuff maybe
there's a dissonance between what's engaging / fun and what has to happen for plot reasons, dunno. its an interesting dilemma
either way, it eventually ends and the game is fantastic so far

Just use your empty magazine and throw it to the right side of the bridge where the skull dudes are, there is a slop on the right so they should be heading down or at least to the right and then you could just crouch walk past them on the left side of the bridge. After passing them just call your horse again and then book it.
Kills and checkpoint restarting has been changed to a flat +5000 bonus rather than a subtraction each time you do it.
The outro outstayed its welcome for me very quickly and it wasn't because of the narrative reasoning of the coma.
It was a super long intro, really laid on way too many scenes that established the same points over and over (we get it, the flaming man is scary and water is the only thing that defeats him!), as well as taking forever to (re)introduce its tutorial mechanics because story literally got in the way.
These are just my opinions. I'm still really enjoying the game, but I could not wait for that intro to end. It's probably going to be the worst part of the game for me, so I'm glad it was literally the first thing that I "got out of the way" along the path to the open world meat.

As Big Boss?! Why is that a surprise?
Isnt Ishmael voiced by Sutherland too? That really threw me off. And Fireman and the Psychic girl also having physical elements of BB added confusion.

I think it actually hurts more than helps. Considering this is the most open-feeling Metal Gear game to date, it's odd that he decided to go with an episodic approach.
That being said, it's still dumb that they took his name off the box.
To be fair, I think a lot of people (you included unfortunately) did really overhype the thing.
Very minor spoilers for the intro ahead.
It's a phenomenally well directed intro, if it was in a movie it would be an all-time classic scene. However it being the intro to an MGS game, I expected
something more meaningful. There is basically nothing meaningful in the intro, there's no real plot bar the overall situation. Its just a series of action/violent set-pieces. Really disappointed me. Considering I was all prepped for mind-blowing twists or confusing anachronisms or whatever. Instead it's just a really good escape scene.
Yeah - that Ishmael is probably you too in some way. Still it makes no sense although things he said like "You are talking to yourself" gave it away. That Fireguy has the same wounds and chips in his face as BB.
Early tape spoiler connected to that above:
Later you learn from a tape that the horn can cause hallucination but it doesn't make sense as Ocelot clearly also sees the Fireguy
Agreed, potentially the last game in the series and making no attempt to understand what's going on.
