Got the email from game saying CE has shipped, sadly I think it's just sitting in a big pile until Friday/Saturday. I don't wanna get my hopes up.

I've only gotten an email from them (yesterday) saying that they've started processing the preorder. Guessing I'll get this one today at some point?

Cool, thanks man!

From what you said earlier, my guess is they'll be shipping them out on Friday. As hopeful as I want to be that we'll get it a day early, I don't see it happening.

Also noticed Ken is sending friends out to look for stores selling the game early?

That Konami blacklist. :x

It's just right. I dunno what to chalk my S ranks up to. I played the shit out of GZ. Or perhaps the first missions are forgiving? Dunno

That's really shitty that people are dropping a dime on shops that break release date. It's so fucking petty and none of their business.

What makes it even worse is that people will lose their jobs over this.

For example; I just finished A Hero's Way (mission we saw 10000x) and I got an A rank. I used reflex once, but amazingly got a headshot on the guy while he was on a spotlight 50 yards away (I dunno how I managed that). I extracted a bunch of dudes and killed no one. Beat it in 17 minutes. Not sure if I'd have gotten S if I didn't use reflex.

Yeah, it's pretty sad.

The worst part is that I would put money on that the people who are dropping the dimes wouldn't say no to an early copy of the game if they could get it.

I don't even know if Konami has the infrastructure to enforce that, any more. If this were Rockstar Games or Activision, certainly. But I don't think Konami will pursue anything.

I disagree, we live in a world where you have to follow rules, if you don't follow them you have to face the consequences.

If you drive a car without a driving license and the police sees you will get in trouble, same with this shit right now. If you break the rules (breaking the street date) you should get punished for that and if you lose your job so be it, it's your own fault.

They are doing their best to protect us (the fans) from getting spoiled.

There is probably some bizarre alternate reality, where Konami realized that sticking to the release date when stores world wide are breaking it is silly and hurts the fans, and they just flip the switch on Friday and release it early for everyone.

I'd like to be in that reality.

That wasn't a big spoiler..but spoiler creeps can get out of control really fucking fast.

"Someone said x, so saying y should be fine"
"Someone said y, so saying z should be fine"
"Someone said z, so here's a major plotpoint."

My MGSV Ltd Edition PS4 has apparently just shipped. 1-2 working days and I'll have it in my grubby hands! MOOHAHAHA!

Maybe don't say anything specific or about the lore and stick to impressions. Safer that way.

I wouldn't spoil anything I wouldn't want spoiled. In fact, I didn't realize some people here are so paranoid that canonical things can't even be discussed/mentioned simply because I have the game already. I'll just not post for a bit.

You do not understand or care too much about spoilers of the minor variety. its best to stay completely silent on ANYTHING relating to the story.

Yeah, ignoring Infinity. He's being very unDude about having the game and this thread was more fun when it was a bunch of people waiting it out together.

Trouf. I can tell you this, everything is far smoother than in GZ. Everything looks so much better. The 1080p gameplay videos we've gotten do not do it justice. Experienced no dips thus far.

I'd say it's more like he's super excited to be playing and wants to share as much as possible without spoiling, which is hard. I know what that's like. You're playing a game you love and you want to talk about it to SOMEONE but when you get the game a week early it's kinda hard.
