welcome brothers.
Hi guys.
I like guns. I like Metal Gear Solid. I will miss real firearms represented in the series.
Basically agree with this. I'll miss BB's Colt 1911. And Snake's SOCOM. But it at least seems like they are still basing them on real weapon models.

Congrats dude, I read you were not having any luck in the other thread.
So I assume you were able to successfully get the proxy set up? I may need to figure this out for something else I want to get soon...
Either that or make friends with somebody in Japan ASAP and trust they wont screw me lol
Nice, how'd you pre-order it through Konami Style? I had to find someone in Japan to do it for me lol
This.

Thanks. I got a moderator that lives in Japan from GAF to order it for me. I put in a request to that site just to see how much it'd cost, though.
They won't. That's why you pay this site and then they use their card to buy it.

Wait, you can't think of any game in the series that admonishes the player for killing either?
XD
Of course I can, but killing in MGS doesn't equal gun violence. Most of the time (if I even decide to kill in any MGS game) it's with the knife, neck snapping, barrel explosions, or tossing them off cliffs/bridges.

Yeah makes sense. Not sure what I was thinking there lol.

I think it's probably Konami being cheap asses, rather than any sort of ingrained message.

Read what RoyalDuke said. It isn't "nothing". Just because MGS has its fantastical/sci-fi moments does not mean that the series isn't set in a very similar reality to ours.
Well said.
I'm a fan of the AKS-74u that the Gurlukovich mercenaries used.
The AKS-74U was such an interesting gun, they wanted a tiny AK platform that could still put people down but had the size of an SMG for Tank crews, CQB, and Special Operations. It has a unique suppressor that attaches to the Flash flash suppressor that they modeled into MGS2.
For me though I've always been a huge fan these ones:
Colt SAA Artillery model... around 1850 I believe.
The FAMAS rifle platform is interesting, below are the F1 and G2 models.
The Mauser Type 17, these were created primarily in the Shanxi province and Mauser more or less had nothing to do with it, as they were produced by local gangs that were in rebellion at the time. Most of these I've seen have been semiauto but I have seen one select fire variant, oddly enough I can't find any information on it.
And of course the SOCOM, but I also like the VZ61, a small caliber SMG designed for tank crews.
Man, it looks like he's on a Strut of MB that is being constructed.
I'm really interested in how all this will work out, I'm trying not to get too hyped about the MB and open world mechanics so I don't disappoint myself if they don't turn out as meaty as I am expecting. It's really hard though....they keep saying all the right things about every single feature and new feature they show us or talk about.
FUUUUCK SIX MONTHS.

That's not even relevant, is it? Regardless of the weapon you prefer to use in the game, they've still licensed guns and they've still paid money to arms manufacturers.
Let me try a broader statement with no mention of guns, see how that sticks:
Metal Gear is a series that preaches about the atrocities of war and how terrible it is to kill people, and then pays licence fees to companies that make weapons of war that kill people in real life. This fundamentally compromises the integrity of the core message of the series.
I don't disagree. Still ironic. Still better they don't support it.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
The Fiddler at it again??!?!?!!11
BB's new suit reminds me more of Snake's MGS1 get up. It makes sense they would pull from MGS1's aesthetics as much as possible.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
So let's say hypothetically I only have a PS4, PSV, and PSTV because I hypothetically sold my PS3. I've got the MGS Collection on the Vita, MGS1 for PSN, and GZ on the PS4.
How would I go about replaying MGS4 with the equipment I currently own? Bonus points for anyone who can tell me how I can replay Ac!d 1/2 as well.

Yep, they point that out immediately after. Their point isn't that Chico is Mantis, but that Mantis is creating a hallucination and nothing in GZ is real, just a simulation. Or something.
*sigh* it's just fucking extra protection for the internal organs ( lungs, i believe. )
Chico Mantis confirmed
they need to fuck off with this stupidity now.

I don't know whether or not MGS4 is on PSNow...
AFAIK Ac!d's aren't on PSN, or like Portable Ops, they're not widely available...
It seems that without a PS3 or OG PSP, you may be SOL.

Damn. I knew I shouldn't have traded in my old stuff. I feel like a damned fiddle.

Do they offer a good theory as to why Mantis would be doing that? BB can't be in a coma already since the crash doesn't happen until after the Ground Zeroes mission...
Unless Kojima has been straight up LYING about Phantom Pain's premise and feeding us misinformation purposefully, that makes zero sense.

I discovered something last night while playing GZ and trying to S rank the last of the missions I need to do.
If you hold Right Trigger and move one of the thumbsticks around you can look around and zoom in the cutscene just like in the old games. It blows my mind that I didn't even think of trying that before, considering it's one of those little small things they always put into each MGS that I often overlook but love.

why does scalebound need to be x1 and bloodborne ps4
it's making my head spin round and round
it's making my head spin round and round
They base it on the fact that there's a contradiction between what Kaz said at the end of Peace Walker ('I knew who they were all along' refering to Zadornov and Paz) and what he says in Ground Zeroes ('I can't believe we bought that cover story').
That's why they think the events of GZ might have not happened. It's still too far-fetched but to be fair they do have a point about Miller.
As to why Mantis would be doing that, no idea. So yeah, it makes no sense lol

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
What if Ground Zeroes takes place AFTER Phantom Pain?
BiGBoSSMk23
A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Putting aside the fact that I loathe Peace Walker with a passion, let's just say Kaz said that in the sense that he had suspicions, not that he knew... But then again, he's the one that gets all worked up and throws the overly dramatic "fiddle" tantrum after the GZ ruse. So, he may have simply ignored the true purposes and identities of Zadornov and Paz to use their funds for the expansion of Mother Base...I don't trust Kaz. I have a feeling he's gonna be one shady ass character in Phantom Pain, shadier even than Ocelot...

Think about it. How any movies have you seen where they show you a piece of the ending first, then show you how they got there, then you see the conclusion.
Maybe GZ takes place after the main narrative of TPP and we'll get an epilogue that shows what happened after the helicopter crash.
it's because kojima makes it up as he goes along, and has said he doesn't go back to check his notes of what he did in previous games.
that's why there's a contradiction.
