Guys, I need ideas for dealing with my crazy MGS5 hype over the next 20 days, because I've done all I could think off to ease the pain, but the wait is killing me.

Here's what I've done recently with the series:
- Watched all available episodes of MGScanlon. The week of Scanlon being a true blessing.
- Watched the full playthrough of Peace Walker by dasuberpoop, which I wholeheartedly recommend, since I don't have a PS3 any more and remember that playing the game on the PSP was a nightmare. Good refresh before TPP.
- Got 100% on GZ on both PS4 and X1.
- Got a platinum in MGS3 on Vita few months back.

I'm sick. I need more.

holy christ

my hype cycle:

1. Just played through MGS3. Playing through MGS4 right now.
2. Watching Metal Gear Scanlon 1-4. Currently on 3.
3. Reading the plot to Peace Walker so I can remember what happened with that game.
4. Play Ground Zeroes on PC to get an idea of how TPP will run on my rig.

By the time I'm done all of this stuff, the game will be out :)

Thanks to PS4 Update 3.00, we can make a community/groups for MGS V.

[Community] has been added to the [Friends] menu. [Community] is a feature that lets you find close players with similar preferences and interests. You can create a new community or join a previously established community. Through the community, you can get into games and parties, and discuss common interests.

Somebody should make an OuterGAF group for FOBs and MGO.

I wish Konami would pull a Destiny, and erase ALL of David Hayter from previous games, and rerelease new dialogue recorded by Keifer.

:3 There is now precedence. If they make it happen, they can sell the remaster audio edition.

Hello, MGS GAF! I briefly posted in here much earlier this year but left soon after. The hype has drawn me back in, though.

I'm currently playing through GZ again properly (going for 100%), which I never bothered to do before. Only two trophies to go - unlock all trials and collect all tapes. The only tape I have left to get is the one for finishing everything on Hard, and I haven't even attempted any of the gruelling marking trials yet. Now that I think of it, it's ridiculous that this doesn't have a platinum.

Can't wait for GAF to implode when TPP is released. I'm here now for the long run.

I dreaded the Mark All Enemies trial until I approached it differently. I just ignored the mission grade and just tried to see if I could snipe every enemy without ever being caught. Was a therapeutic game of patience and finding new places to hide after every shot, since the rifle lacks a suppressor. Good luck and strap in while this hype train finally approaches the station!

well actually

the precedence is there for konami wanting kiefer back, dude being too busy due to more important things, and them having to bring in hayter to replace of his dialogue + record new dialogue for the annual biannual MGSV dlc packs.

It's funny that you mention taking a different approach. Up until now I have avoided reflex mode like the plague, but earlier I read a tip that it helps to keep it on for marking enemies, just in case things go awry. It's such a simple step towards progress that my habits completely prevented me from seeing.

I'm gonna miss this series so much once it is over. For me it represents one of very few AAA games nowadays that doesn't feel designed by a committee.

Yup. Replaying the MGS games always remind me just how unique they are, and how much of an auteur Kojima is. No one even comes close to this dude.

Even when the greats like Miyamoto take a step back from directing games full time, there are people than can step up and deliver on a Mario (Koizumi) or a Zelda (Aonuma) that feels similar to those that Miyamoto created. With Kojima and Metal Gear... I struggle to imagine there is someone out there that can create a similar experience and deliver the same charm polish with these games, especially if the Kojipro team is disbanded.

All I have left to do is this for the daytime missions, and it's so annoying. I'm gonna try this strategy next, since last night's attempt went really badly and I went from 39/42 to 20/40.

Also, hello MGS GAF. The hype is real.

Use your grenades and C4. Set off an explosion when you're well off in the distance and at an elevated position. A bunch will come running and you'll get to tag them all. I once got 12 in a row with this method.

Welcome brother!

If you want to make things easier for you on the marking enemies trial, just do a lethal play. Mark and kill them. When there are not many enemies left, just start blowing stuff as distractions and let them come to you. There is only one thing to worry about: don't get spotted otherwise the constant influx of soldiers will drive you mad.

I'm glad I stumped upon the same Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain poster, that my local gamestop promised me..but then accidentally threw it away. It's on UK's amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013DHI28I/ (It came to approx $29 us dollars) Also note, they only have 6 left. So if you want one, go,go,go!

I thought they would be re recording all of Hayter to be done by Keifer for the new MGS coming after TPP. Its called MG6: Return to Pachinko Haven

Damn, that playlist is legendary. I've lurked here for a while but now I believe I'm truly ready to join Outer-GAF. September 1st can't come soon enough, my hype levels are astronomical. I think I might play through 3 -> PW -> GZ in anticipation.
