Just got the game this morning, some impressions after playing for a few hours.
1.) I wouldn't say the opening is as WTF hype levels as other people claim, but it's still a damn great one.
2.) Despite Snake's convo-time being significantly reduced, I can't complain - he still has a decent amount of presence in the tapes. Also, Kiefer definitely puts the effort into his lines so it helps make up for it.
3.) I knew beforehand that enemies will adapt later on if you keep sticking to the same tactics. Unfortunately, I'm still doing the bad habit of silently headsniping everyone so that's gonna bite me in the ass.
4.) GOT ANY MORE OF DEM TAPES BRUH? I'm pretty glad that most of the exposition the series is known for got dumped into this format now. Helps the pacing and experience a lot.
5.) A picture of me handling Mother Base

I don't think it's that he's bad, but more that he doesn't sound like Ocelot. It's a pretty established character, so hearing someone else do his voice (who doesn't even really try to sound like the old VAs) is kinda jarring. It's the same with Snake, since I don't think Sutherland does a particularly bad job, he just isn't Snake/Boss so it's kinda lame.
However, I think it's gross that Ocelot LOOKS like Troy Baker now, since that's all I can see when he's on screen.

You don't have to 100% GZ to get stuff. I uploaded my ~20% save and got stuff. No idea if you can go back and do it again though.
Zimmerman never sucked. He was the best voice actor in the entire series.
Troy doesn't sound like Ocelot. But hey, Ocelot doesn't even look like Ocelot in the game.

I think I'm surprised at myself for loving the game even though I hated PW. It's a joy to control and play. I think when I thought about how a linear game about BB building what he lost and returning as a legend, it made sense that it can't be done in any other way but this, on top of that you truly feel like BB in every sense.
I think the missions are not just a grind, they make sense as you're building your base you're taking out important figures within the region or are in cahoots with Cipher/other private forces. On top of that if you fulton them instead of taking them out sometimes you get more information about the person and probably other minor things within the story itself aside from them working for you. I always fulton whoever they tell me to eliminate lol.
EDIT: The story still has batshine insane moments, just spread out.

The phantom pain is the only MGS game I've ever played so sorry if this is a stupid question.
I'm only about a quarter through the games story but somethings been bugging me since starting.
Are supernatural things like fire demons actually a part of the metal gear series?

Perhaps its not for you... I enjoy the many nods to Souls games (spartan story, no hand holding, figure it out yourself gameplay), but maybe not for everyone.
Yup.
Yes.
At some point in the series the supernatural was more subdued, but they obviously said fuck it and went all out. Its basically an anime game.
The primary villain in MGS3 was a Russian Colonel who could inexplicably control lightening, so yeah, powers and stuff are pretty normal within the MGS universe. (Unless you're playing MGS4...)

That said, to answer your question... yes. lol

could never
Alrighty.
Don't click if you don't want to know guys.
Before Ocelot can throw a bucket of water on you, Quiet intervenes. You then get to take a sexy shower with her while Ocelot and the boys watch. One soldier actually says "Oh yeah such a naughty girl" lol

Yep.
MGS4 still has supernatural occurrences.
Mantis' ghost and The Sorrow's appearance, for example.
in case anyone wants to know, got him after
mission 4
yeah, and after what I posted above
I don't know, that just seems hilarious.
Probably not effect they were going for though.
Do the other people I rescued in GZ come gradually BTW?
Because Kojima is the only person who showed up LOL

I can hear the PC mods droppin already.
Be sure before commencing on a mission to put it with your equipments and then you could equip it by holding left on the d-pad and choosing it.

Was there ever an explanation as to why established voice actors were replaced? They all sound, in my opinion only, worse than their previous VAs

They're almost never readily willing to help, at least at first, which is why they spend some quality time in the brig. Read into that what you will... Some tapes released in Japan, in PW (I think...) and the Japanese version of GZ explain that Snake is sort of like Che Guevara, a figure people are naturally drawn to due to his charisma. Which ties into the fact soldiers turn faster the higher your heroism gets.
It's easier for me to believe they're just physically and mentally tortured until they convert. Though if that was the case, one would think Snake's army would've crumbled years ago by some resentful soldier who went and sold information.

Hmm, I've imported my save and don't have him yet :/
As I posted before I can't use my credit card on PSN for some reason, so I've been really upset about not being able to get this game. (No game shops in the country I live in, and shipping from Amazon US is expensive and could take a month or more)
So upset that after work I've been going home, going on the web-app and PS4 store and just trying to buy it again and again, forlornly, stupidly. Same rejection error that makes no sense every time. It worked a month ago, it doesn't work now, no one has any answers. Sigh.
So today I get home, try it, rejected, try it, rejected, probably putting my card on some fraud list as I do so, just reading GAF just clicking away and tapping X on the controller, and BOOM - holy SHIT - for some reason it went through! I'm actually going to get to play this game! It's downloading right now good god almighty shiiiiiiiiii
Now I've got to finish the Witcher tonight or tomorrow. I'm up for that challenge. Sadly I think I may have been spoiled about something major in MGSV, but the Big Boss story seems so convoluted at this point that I can't even be sure. I still wish I knew a little less about the game in general, but my hype is as high right now as it has ever been for a game and the trailers were worth it.
Now if only I didn't have 1Mb/s internet

Haha, I didn't realise that was an Ocelot quote. I heard one of my men say that on the medical platform when another guy suggested Quiet was an alien.[HP];177257804 said:

Has this been confirmed? That is one of my worries with completion %. I said earlier that I completed all of the GZ missions and I was at like 20-25%

The intro to this game is better than most games.
guessing when he pops up might be random?
Yes. I got The Eye and The Finger, you get Kojima a little earlier.
