Support NeoGAF

[GalacticAE]

GAF. Only. Lockdown.

It's best to stay off GAF if you care that much. I have a feeling someone will spoil-suicide bomb soon. It'll probably be hidden in text where people will least suspect it.

 

[-COOLIO-]

^^^ That guy has way too many fucking icons :lol

I think that guy made it, might want to try to find out who he is?



BTW, I just had a CLOSE call. Browsing GAF and clicked the SPOILER thread (saw MGS4). Freaked out and shut my laptop, then just removed the battery. Overkill? Yes probably, but damn...

:lol

 

[NarcissisticJay]

Fucking seriously.

EVERYBODY GET IN!

:lol

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Well just saw a commercial on a HD channel...this game looks so damn fuck awesome!

 

[tha_con]

So like, is there any advantage to paying off a preorder early? I often see people post about doing so.

Generally, during a big midnight release, you can just walk in, show your receipt, and walk out. MUCH faster than waiting to pay for it the night of.

Gets you your copy quicker when you get to the register, so you can get in and out as soon as possible. It may be life or death as far as getting spoiled!

im selectively reading random words in everyones posts before I read everything left to right. I'm also skimming through old pages and avoiding the freshest posts.

 

[~Kinggi~]

So wait, this is appearing in stores thursday or friday? It says shipping the 12th on ebgames but i thought it was coming out thursday for some reason.

O ok, my store isn't doing a midnight launch anyway so I won't be in a big hurry trying to avoid other peeps spewing spoilers.

Thursday ftw! Should be in store on Thursday.

Stores either have it now or it is shipping now, but all stores should have the game and bundles and strategy guides and headsets on June 12th.

 

[tha_con]

It's pretty impressive that this thread is already at 6K replies. GO GO GO!

I guess Konami will be redeemed! I hope this game is, without a doubt, the best selling PS3 game for some time to come (well, not for PS3's sake, but I'd love to see MGS succeed and go out with a HUGE bang).

 

[Laurent]

Holy SHIT! I don't want to spoil anything...but if you watch this video...they show one brief interactive thing...and it's FUCKING awesome!

It's the spoiler Seiken was blaming me I hinted at...

 

[Acid08]

I think this is going to be a GTA4 like situation with the date right? Like the date they've been advertising is the actual street date.

 

[Guled]

so close, only 5 days. Can't wait. Getting a HDTV tom so I can play this in HD

 

[Yoshichan]

Damn, mighty impressive.

pretty sure yeah, it seems like the game is just sitting in game stores all over the place.

Yep, you can pick it up at Midnight (12:00am Thursday) at any place that's doing a midnight launch.

Everywhere else...well, thursday when they open.

 

[Acid08]

I wish I had a better screen to play this on. My PS3 is connected to a 4:3 17 inch monitor through the VGA converter box. It runs in 720p and games look great on it but the picture is partially cut off on the right side and the bottom

Great . Then I'll be picking up my copy after my graduation practice that morning.

 

[KolosLazar16]

So it's possible that bundles get gobbled up by employees right? UGHHHHH @ this shitty situation!

 

[~Kinggi~]

Nothing better go wrong with my ebgames shipment for the LE. And i better get it Thursday cause i got overnight shipping. I really want to see the making-of features.

Don't you want to play the game more?

 

[h3ro]

Playing games and having to use your hands? What is this.. a babies toy?

/Marty McFly arcade enemy kid

 

[~Kinggi~]

Of course, but im saying since this LE is gonna be a one-shot deal it seems, I want to make sure i get it. I doubt ill be able to pick it up after launch.

 

[OatmealMu]

Make sure your billing address is the same as your credit card's billing address.

Well, everything looks like it matches up. Should I just cancel the order and place a new one or call the credit union? Since it took a week to be contacted about my debit card, I'm wondering how long they'll take to re-verify the order.

Call your bank.

 

[Ephemeris]

Fucking seriously.
EVERYBODY GET IN!

It's messed up that it's come to this point. Take a look at how my plans have evolved through the thread :lol

First Plan:

That's why I'm staying here. No Place To Hide on the net. Even so there's been some close calls here. But still I remain vigilant.. and sneaky.

Second Plan:

That's definitely part of my plan. Going to meet up with a few gaffers too so I plan to encase myself in a spoiler-free circle of people. Whether here online or outside waiting to get the game.. GAF is an integral part of my defense against those who intend to spoil the experience.

Oh, if all else fails, there is the cold-war-era concept of Deterrence:

New Plan:
Those who conspire to spoil it for me have forced my hand. I don't care if they're my countrymen.

Remember the Alamo.

 

[-COOLIO-]

5 DAYS

 

[Acid08]

5 DAYS

It's still 6 days in California . Goddamn you east coasters.

 

[tha_con]

I think I'm going to alter / enlarge that paper Shagohod.

Anyone know where I can find the paper Rex stuff at?

how can you wait that long!?

Lego Metal Gear Saga!! Make it happe... nvm but it would be cute.

 

[Acid08]

!

June 12th is going to be epic. I graduate from high school AND get MGS4.

 

[Pop On Arrival]

!

how can you wait that long!?

You.

You don't know what real suffering is.

 

[Dante]

So can you only get those shirts in NY?

 

[Kagari]

Bwahahahahaha

 

[Acid08]

The Uniglo ones? You can buy them on their website starting on the 12th.

 

[Ephemeris]

A little over four Days till the signing event

 

[krackerjack]

I don't think I've even posted in this masterful thread yet and this is probably my most anticipated gave of all time....sheesh!

And by judging by all the spoiler remarks, I'm getting the F out...5 days

 

[Malik]

Seriously, dodge every suspicious post, almost spoiled the game with some noob posting MGS4 pics.

5 days, WOOT!

 

[No_Style]

^^^ That guy has way too many fucking icons :lol

I think that guy made it, might want to try to find out who he is?



BTW, I just had a CLOSE call. Browsing GAF and clicked the SPOILER thread (saw MGS4). Freaked out and shut my laptop, then just removed the battery. Overkill? Yes probably, but damn...

Nah. Overkill would be you throwing the laptop out the window and hiding under your bed.

 

[hirokazu]

This is generally not the case in your country? What the fuck, why advertise that date then?

In Australia, if a game says it'll be out on this day (usually Thursday, since it's traditionally payday and late-night shopping night), it will be available unless it sells out on the day.

 

[Kagari]

The game will be out Thursday, not Friday.

No the date advertised usually, like the one that's on EB or Gamestop.com, are the ship dates. I just assume games come out the day after the date says.

 

[Metroidvania]

I know the style is getting really stale, I'm just trying to keep it consistent throughout all the different wallpapers. Sorry

Nice, thanks a lot.

As for Naomi's accent, a bit late, yes, but she still has a little of it...and she has lived in the U.S. longer....and I think Kojima said that the accents shouldn't have been as strong, I think.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Nah. Overkill would be you throwing the laptop out the window and hiding under your bed.

LMFAO! :lol :lol :lol

I just pictured that in my head. That would be so funny to see in real life. XD

 

[MiamiWesker]

5 days. I cant believe its almost here.

 

[tha_con]

I'm about to be really pissed. I've been working on a Liquid Ocelot wallpaper for a long fucking time, and now photoshop is being a bitch.

FUCK.
