Sorry to ask again so soon, but what do you guys mean by spoiler ban.?
Click to expand...

No plot details in this thread. Usually there will be an official spoiler thread for big games. I think that includes marked spoilers so people don't do something like "I'm confused, Paz was 16 at the start of Peace Walker then
In MGSV she goes Super Saiyan and nukes the world with her ki blasts
. Seems to be a spoiler for a 5 year old game so people click, ends up being for the new one.

Interesting. So the non Tomokazu Metal Gear's are the ones with the shittiest stories?

That would explain a lot. Murata was the writer/director of the Guy Savage dream minigame in MGS3 (whatever the fuck being writer/director of that means).
Click to expand...

Although he did direct the Guy Savage minigame, I'm pretty sure he's credited as one of the three main writers on MGS3 during the end credits.

It'd give the infographic more weight if it hadn't simply ignored Murata's contributions (even for 4 and PW), neglected to mention that Kojima was a lead designer on Ghost Babel, or ignored the fact that Fukashima wasn't involved with writing MG2.

- Chico (Prison Camp)
- Paz (Boiler Room)
- Four Prisoners (Prison Camp)

Eliminate the Renegade Threat:
- Glaz (Various locations)
- Palitz (Various locations)

- Baldy (Holder of the actual tape, various locations)
- Three Prisoners (Prison Camp)

Destroy the Anti-Air Emplacements:
- Three Prisoners (Prison Camp)
- Captured MSF Soldier (Boiler Room)

So is this confirmed as an accurate list?

In regards to BB/Zero in PW, it was pretty clearly hinted by the exchange between BB and Kaz that BB keeps the short part of his life as a Patriot a personal secret and has probably disowned it entirely.

So pretty sure after that last trailer I have a decent idea of what is going to happen to Diamond Dogs at some point. Spoilers follow for theory:

pretty sure at some point the soldiers are going to get out of hand while Snake is away. They start by getting into fights, then rapeing and tourtureing Queit and Huey for no reason which cause Snake to break down. Later on there's going to be a moment where Snake is going to have to order an artillery strike danger close while on a mission which probably ends up killing a lot of his people inadvertently.

Someone posted here that the nightmare minigame in MGSV will be P.T.
He's wrong. It will be a Silent Hill Pachinko.

I think that:

Huey is tortured by the order of Big Boss who became paranoid. Huey invited the inspection which ended in destroying Mother Base.

I have a theory about who actually betrayed Mother Base.

(Peace Walker spoilers, The Phantom Pain speculation)
Kaz. Dun-dun-duuuuuun. And the phone-call at the end of Peace Walker could take place after the events of Ground Zeroes. Maybe he was working with Cipher (like we know he was in Peace Walker) up until some point of betrayal during Big Boss' coma that leaves him wounded. And things like torturing Huey are acts to disguise the fact that it was actually Kaz who played everyone like a damn fiddle.

You mean that Kaz was planning to be rescued by Big Boss from destroyed MB? Wasn't it too much of a risk?

Can I change teams? I'm Team E now, and I'm saying that P.T. will be playabe as a "nightmare" scenario, like Guy Savage in MGS3. And Solid Snake might or might not be in the game. Team E doesn't care.

Unless someone else already came up with this nonsense.

The Man Who Sold the World
Song by David Bowie

We passed upon the stairs
Spoken was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for farming land
Years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazer stare
We marked a million hills
I must have died alone
A long long time ago
Who knows?
Not me
I never lost control
You're face, to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You're face, to face
With the man who sold the world

I have the Collector's Edition preordered from GAME (UK) but this is the first time I've used their online service. Has anyone had any trouble with getting games on the day of release from them?

I'm already considering buying the game digitally on PSN on top of this so I can play it the moment it comes out...

Thanks for this, think all I have left to do is to
extract Baldy and the Agent from Classified Intel Acquisition.

Here's my theory of who betrayed MSF and lead to the destruction of motherbase, ya ready. ? ............ no one, skullface saw an opportunity to take advantage of Huey's naivety, and took it.

Everything else is a red herring.

Hey guys! Please accept me into your community, I'm a HUGE Metal Gear Solid Fan - probably my favourite video game series of all time, and one I always go back to. Extremely excited for MGSV, and am looking forward to hyping with you all!

First question - I'm looking for the best overall story recap to get me ready to re-play GZ then go onto MGSV - I know the story fairly well, but as much as I love the series and want to understand everything in detail, It's undeniably convoluted and impossible to keep all the details in my long term memory :')

I'll be playing MGO from the middle of September, and would love to find some people to play with by the way :D

Along with your Mother Base, you can build I think 3 FOBs (Forward Operating Base), these can be attacked by other players and defended by you or allies.

Question after watching the latest Metal Gear Scanlon and getting the giant info dump from Big Mama. She mentions that after MGS3 Big Boss joins up with Zero and forms the Patriots and they work together for awhile. Is he still working with them during Peace Walker or is that after he left? because isnt Cypher just the Patriots?

Also when does Big Boss become Snake's Commanding officer lol

My understanding is
that they form The Patriots after the events of Portable Ops and Big Boss leaves before Peace Walker. I can't remember if Big Boss specifically mentions Zero and Cipher in Peace Walker, but from memory they called themselves Cipher simply so Big Boss doesn't just go "Oh, so Zero's behind all this shit!"

Big Boss
did at the end. He didn't directly imply it, but he said that Cipher's meaning could also be read as "Zero", which means he knows it's Zero that's behind it.
