MGS2 isn't so bad. I mean Raiden himself is pretty well characteried.
All through MGS1 you don't really get a sense of who he really is. What
he does do is wax poetic about the battle field. About what it means
to be a soldier. I can imagine plenty of soldiers returning home playing
the MGS series and agreeing with him.
He's the "Legendary Solid Snake" as Mei Ling says. He gets lonely and having
long conversations on codec with his support team or with the captives he
finds on his mission don't phase him.
But anyway, Raiden encapsulates at first the ultimate rookie. He freely
admits to having only experienced combat in simulations... in the freakin'
MGS: VR Missions for crying out loud! And there we have Snake himself becoming
the mentor. It's great that Raiden was brought in because I loved just to sitting
patiently while he & Rose talked about the status of their relationship or
how they met. Sure, I wanted to save, but it could wait.
BUT What the one thing I hate the most about MGS2 is making a comeback in force:
That Damn "Big Shel" setting! Its ugly. Home Depots are orange, the Big Shell's
exterior was orange.

Man, Snake is dead, I just wanna play as Pliskin, he's cool.I had mixed feeling about Raiden back when I first played MGS2, was of course mad that I wasn't playing as Snake.
**STORY SPOILERS**
But that all changed whenSnake tossed me that Stinger Missile Launcher.

Orange Juice is orange too, and that shit is amazing.
That is a shame... but considering the soundtrack we're getting with the game, I think I'll live

I love that Mother Base resembles Big Shell. But they said you can change the color.

It probably is already gold and they're working on the iOS version.

I can already imagine them making a Clash of Clans like Mother Base building game.
TPP is different beast altogether. it's gonna be around 20 to 40 GB, they'll allow preload on PC, i reckon.
LOL. i don't mind, i have enough space ........ barely.
Don't worry, if it's like other pre-loads, it'll let you do it a least a week before release.

I'd play this, despite my hatred of Clash of Clans. There should be a mobile app popping up soon though, like the GZ one, where you have your map on your phone and can call in chopper/support items. I'm curious if they'll add more functionality though, giving it all the features the iDroid has like assigning personnel and such.
I am confident they will fill that disc up to the brim. Can't wait. I would actually be surprised if the game is less than 30 gigs.
Has it been confirmed that they're launching a mobile app for TPP? I assume they are, hopefully it's a little less clunky than the GZ app.

We'd have probably heard about that if Kojima station was still a thing, but alas we just have to make guesses instead. It was definitely the original plan but I don't think they talked much about it since 2013.
Are you telling me that this:

Is possible only on PS3/360? I'm so glad of being loyal to PS3 to the end
Yup. Can also be hacked into the PC version by replacing one of the tracks iirc.

Replaying Snake Eater and not yet a CQC body slamming machine. Makes Ground Zeroes that more impressive for how streamlined the process is. It takes some getting used to the sensors as well. I think on release I relied solely on the motion detector, which really gets you nowhere in situations like the scuttle after you met Eva.
Currently moving through Ponizovje. after swimming around using my sonar like a snake eating submarine I sniped The End for the trophy and reset it to battle him proper. I think after the previous comments and response to an earlier comment I'll skip MGS4 and move right onto Peace Walker. I'd like to experience first hand the context for Ground Zeroes.
I imagine

with her influence within the Patriots, Para-Medic has propagated the entire 60+ year span of Godzilla movies.

Well you can still raise an alert when in the shootout. That can be kinda tricky sometimes I guess
Graphics Horse

You kind of have have to do the whole thing stealthy, and not kill the humans.
I got 2 alerts and got the S, but i think that's the max.

The way i do the beginning bit is, run to the tower, tranq the guard, shoot the tent snatcher in the head, shoot the spotlight guard in the head from the tent area, run behind the gurad beside the forkilft, pop him in the head, then run up to the human guard by the command building doors and slam him to the ground.

Speaking of which, can someone explain this speedrun to me?
https://youtu.be/-xfu-oZOW2Q?t=1m20s
At this point in Jamais Vu, there is a jeep with two guys. One snatcher, one human. It looks like he killed them both but at the end, 0 kills. What am I missing?
Maybe he injured the human just enough to where he's writhing on the ground and can't get up compared to when he headshotted the Snatcher?

Thanks for the answer. Didn't realize the preorders weren't simultaneous nor that it was already available on PSN.

Of course the companion app is still planned, MGSV:GZ and MGSV:TPP's design makes so much more sense when taking the companion app into consideration. You're supposed to play the actual game at home, then manage your mother base and listen to audio tapes when you're on the go! Whoever does the OT for TPP should make sure to have a section encouraging players to download the companion app, imho. The whole design of the game really doesnt work as well without it.
So I got a truck in the prison camp.
lol, nice
The real hero of the franchise
He was hated and persecuted by everyone and yet,he is the most loyal of all.
Like mother, like son..
Btw, when do you guys think Nvidia will officially announce the MGSV bundle?
I'm still sour after hearing we cannot choose the locations of new Mother Base platforms as they become available. I guess it's only a forward operating base feature. Shit dicks.

Poultist!
Yeah that level of customization on the base would be cool I'm still really excited for this aspect of the game.
I'm still slightly sour because we can't invade other player mother base, and only their forward operating base. I WANT TO JACK YOUR SHIT IN YOUR HOUSE, DAMM IT.

OT went from salt to sour like woa
Thanks for posting this because I have the rest of the games on PS3 as well and really thought I was being a weirdo for wanting to get Phantom Pain there too.
Let's not forget Revengeance.

I guess I didn't realize this but FOB in Multiplayer what will be what exactly? Just your main platform or a completely different area? I googled not seeing specifics.

I hope there's an app for TPP. I loved listening to the tapes on the go.

From what i understand, it's a mini base that isn't apart of your main motherbase, you supplies go there be fore they transfer to motherbase, i believe. The haven't been much information on it. sorry.
