How do you know that? Where did you get that information?
I guess that DVD sizes are pretty well known and PSN lists how much space the game uses.
Let's go! Let's fucking go!
LOL, they used fan made deviantart here.

Aside from looking at rip sizes from people who extract games from media, these days you can usually find the actual file size by looking at the digital version.
MGR is available on PSN for direct download. Its slightly compressed download package is around 19GB.

It's 19GB without DLCs, with those included you get around 24.

Look closely.
Okay guys. If you haven't played the game before, and this is your first time playing it, I've got an important hint that should make blade mode a lot easier to use: go to the options, and change the control scheme to control scheme B.
Let me explain why:
The default control scheme uses the left analog stick as the camera control and the right stick as the stick you use to orient your slashes.
Example:
Here, using the default configuration, tilting the left stick will move the view around, whereas tilting the right stick will make the blue line you can see on the screen rotate. This blue line tells you where you're going to make a cut.
Now, in the game there are two ways to slash things to pieces: either you flick the right stick, or you orient your slash using the right stick and then press one of the attack buttons (X or Y) to make the slash. The second method is more precise, as you don't risk changing the orientation of the slash as you flick the stick. However, you can see that we have a problem here: you need to orient your slash using the right stick, and then press one of the buttons directly above it without releasing it... It just won't work unless you're using the claw.
So we come back to my recommendation: use control scheme B, which inverts the two sticks during blade mode (the control scheme doesn't change anything else). That way, you orient your slashes with the left stick and cut using X/Y. No problem there. Orienting the camera also feels more natural since it stays on the right stick (which is the stick used during normal gameplay to move the camera around).
The thing that really motivates me to post this is that lots of people complained about two of the latter bosses in the game, saying that blade mode wasn't precise and stuff like that, even though it absolutely is if you use it the right way.

Thats because there's nothing there.
That's promo art since before the game was finished, it's official so not sure as to what he's getting at.

Thanks for the advice, I'm glad I caught that. You should make this the first post of the OT.

I cant wait to play this again for a second time since I actually fully understand the block / parry system now.
It could technically go up any time the poster is ready, as far as I'm aware, the only rule about OTs is no earlier than 7 days before release.
Oh okay. I'll try to be on the lookout then haha.

I can incorporate your post into the OP, if you'd like.
Oh wow that's odd that it is the "lesser" control scheme (not default) since in my head it would make more sense to keep camera control as is rather than switch it up all of a sudden. I have no clue what I am going to get from playing this (first Metal Gear, first PG game) but I am excited.Okay guys.

Should be posted inside to first post in the OT IMO.

same, I'm still waiting.
That'd be great, thanks. Granted others are fine with it being the OP I suppose.

Yeah do it. I certainly found blade mode a lot easier to deal with after flipping the sticks.

I hated the final boss until I learned I could slash with a button instead of right stick, I would always get one shotted by the damn huge concrete thrown because it was so hard to able to be precise and quick on the hardest difficulty.

This new PC version includes all three DLC missions: Blade Wolf, Jetstream, and VR Missions, in addition to all customized body upgrades for Raiden, including: White Armor, Inferno Armor, Commando Armor, Raidens MGS4 body, and the ever-popular Cyborg Ninja.
Would Gamefly typically provide a pre-load key, or would you just get one on the 9th?
hot damn.
Sadly I haven't built my PC yet but I'll hopefully build one before summers end (and I hope this is on the summer sale).
Makes me wish Anarchy Reigns was on Steam. Game would actually have a cult following that wouldn't die out or be overrun by lvl60 japanese players ;(
I hope Gamefly sends out keys before the 9th, it's going to take me a while to download 23GB.
I'm not gonna be home in the morning
it is literally going to crush my soul to have to download it later in the day on the 9th
From Gamefly's FAQ:
Is there a pre-load for my game?
If your game has a pre-load, it will state this on the Product Description.
When do I get my key?
You will get your key when the game's release date arrives. In rare cases, you may get the key to pre-load (if advertised).
It doesn't look like MGR was advertised as a pre-load, and there isn't a pre-load listed now. Maybe (hopefully) that'll change sometime before now and the 9th.

Did PG say anything yet about adding card support?
So much money just sitting there for the taking if they put in a tad bit more effort tp add them. I want A MGR background.
