I always find live quicklooks where they don't take question from the chat to be really weird.
I'm looking at the scores only because I'm curious and can't help myself. Getting my popcorn ready for some GAF meltdowns too.

All the reviews are from playthroughs at the review event, right? The review event where the game may or may not have been specifically and intentionally altered from the retail version?
Guys.... I FUCKING HATE iTunes arghhhh...
I don't mind the actual software as far as managing libraries goes it does a fine job... Same for the store...
The problem is that it never actually syncs my songs...
So if I buy a song from the iTunes app on my PC and then add it to a couple of playlists everything is fine on the PC... But then when I plug in my phone and hit sync it goes through the whole process without any errors or anything except that the new song isn't actually added to the phone.
I checked google and it seems like this is a known issue that can happen from time to time but this is pretty much happening every single time I add a new song to my library.
The only workaround I found is to uncheck the top level "Music" checkbox in itunes to remove ALL the music from my phone and then check it back on to put back ALL the music on the phone... This takes FOREVER to do everytime...
I'm so tired of all that bullshit.

Greg Miller's spoiler free review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m73PTDBrSM
This is probably the best review for spoiler conscious people.

Yep.
edit: Danny teasing that review all day and then not having it on time, ha.

My music-listening experience became so much better when I switched from iTunes to Google Music.

they wouldn't do that, right? that would be crazy.
Judging by the GOTY video from last year he's gonna be SUPER long-in-development..

So I've heard that from multiple people so I decided to give it a try too but I'm not sure I understand it... I signed up to the free part (I don't want to pay every month) and then I pointed it to the itunes folder and it kinda looks like it's uploading songs or something but I'm not sure... The progress bar is not actually going up.
Then I installed the app on my phone and I see a lot of my music (not sure if it's all there but there's a lot of it anyway) but none of my itunes playlists (which I guess is fair)...
Are those songs actually played locally from my phone or from the internet? I only want local play.
This whole thing is confusing.

What if the final big "fuck y'all" from Kojima was that the Review Event version of the game lacked some significant detail that's in the retail version. That would be rad.
EdReedFan20

HAHAHA! Metacritic lists the game as co-developed by Moby Dick Studios. Do they not know that was an elaborate Kojima ruse?
You mean the secret final act where David Hayter, played by David Hayter, tells Big Boss about a great idea for a secret mercenary island nation?
Am I reading this wrong, or did Destructoid get a review copy of the game in time of the embargo?
HAS GB BEEN BLACKLISTED BY KONAMI?????????
IS THIS THE TWIST OF MGSV?

So, yeah.
It will bring your playlists over, just give it time. The uploader is shitty in that it doesn't communicate what it's doing at all. It will say it's "complete" or not doing anything when it's still running. The files are not locally on your device, you can "pin" any music you want to keep locally and it will download. I don't know if there's a quick way to tell it "download fucking everything", but you can sort by on device and otherwise.
Yeah that sounds pretty good!
.. Or was it?

Man, I wish we could watch Dan and Drew play the entire game (obviously their first time). I don't care if I don't get to play the game. I just want more Metal Gear Scanlon!
Ok so should I uncheck the music sync in itunes to clear out my phone? I only have a 16gb so it's always packed.
It's weird.. I can see music on the phone app but nothing in the library in Chrome.
Edit: NVM, I refreshed chrome and now I'm seeing everything and there's an actual progress bar.

If you don't have enough room, yeah that's how you get iTunes to remove it all.

That'll probably make Drew happy. The boss battle never seemed to be his favorite parts of MGS

Yeah I agree, there's a dozen or so threads in gaming were you can talk about spoilers, don't spoil (get it...) the sanctity of the Giant Bomb thread.
I'm sure the game is great but getting a 10 doesn't really mean much these days. Pretty sure this is the third game this year alone to receive a 10 from gamespot.
