I saw that article about autographed posters (http://kotaku.com/konami-giving-away-mysteriously-autographed-metal-gear-1726601547) and it made me think how sad it is this year we're not even getting a launch World Tour with Kojima and Shinkawa. Every launch there's always a world tour for signings. I got to see Kojima 4 times here in NYC, mostly at the Uniqlo in SoHo (for MGS4, PW, Rising, and GZ). The atmosphere would always be amazing. Metal Gear decorations everywhere, cosplay, and when you bought a shirt while waiting at Uniqlo the machine would ring you up with the "!" sound. It was great and then there would be the fan discussions about our theories of what will happen in the new game that we'd talk about during waiting from night to dawn.

I remember when Kojima's car pulled up the first two times I went there was always a loud Kojima chant. ahhh good times. I'd bring friends and family and we'd all get stuff signed together too. It really sucks that there's no celebration for the last in the "Kojima" series. As of now looks like Geoff Keighley and Colin will have the only signed copies of MGSV.

My small collection

How dissapointing.

[Black Pewter]

Real nice collection man.

That MGS1 long box is super sexy.

 

[Karspankey]

Oh snap. Amazon changed my pre-order for the Collector's Edition to say that it's coming on Tuesday by 8pm. Was nothing before! Was starting to worry that the pre-order didn't work or something. I've heard things about peoples orders being cancelled randomly and stuff.

Pre-order has come to

.

Dude that is an amazing collection! Wish I had anything signed by Kojima. Hold on to that stuff forever.

I am currently playing Metal Gear Solid 3 and just beat

and am about to

in the east wing. I have noticed that there are not a lot of cutscenes and story, at least compared to the rollercoaster of Metal Gear Solid 2 and I feel like I am approaching the end. How far am I really?

Also, this is my first time entering this thread and I don't know if people discuss spoilers freely here so please quote to me if you wish to respond and I will find it via search.

oh mah gerd

keep playing, it's coming. enjoy the ending

im going to use this gif again because it was wasted on the bottom of the last page.

 

[Karspankey]

It'll charge when it ships. Had to ask for myself in another thread. I'm guessing around Saturday/Sunday it'll end up charging my card.

 

[Necrojection]

I like you.

Yea.. mine just says that they received my order, and its on time. and on the tracking the green line is almost full and complete. My CE guide tho... that one is like 1 third of teh way.

Same for me. I imagine the guide takes way shorter to process as they are in stock so it'll be little later to show up, but it'll be faster to update.

Man, that's an amazing collection.

 

[Icefire1424]

Gotta be honest, it's a really, really weird feeling knowing there are people right now playing Metal Gear, and I never even pre-ordered it!

In my defense, the last 16 months of my life have been pretty much been devoted entirely to ensuring my tiny human didn't...well, die. Parenthood, and all that.

 

[Anth0ny]

so I was replaying ground zeroes last night

admittedly I never really played the hell out of it when it launched, was pre-occupied with school and such

but man, while it takes a little while to adjust from traditional MGS controls, when everything clicks, it feels GOOD. at first I was worried that I'd disagree with the controls for TPP, but now I'm more hyped than ever to play the hell out of this game.

6 more days hngggggggggggg

 

[V3n0m Sn4k3]

Guys... after spending almost 1 day playing TPP, this is the game of forever. That's all I'll say. But as usual, PM questions if you have any. I'm 10 missions into the story.

Jesus, man. Get your priorities straight. You can have more children; this is (probably) the last Kojima Metal Gear.

 

[beatdowniidx]

one thing i just noticed the reason it has GZ image and a TPP image on the steel book is probably because its meant to hold both games

 

[brau]

So... its not TPP related. But if you are thinking of getting mad max on pc. GmG has a 40% off. Comes to $36 dlls. Check this.

Perfect update!

 

[Black Pewter]

Can someone with a copy confirm the GZ transfer stuff in a PM to me or something?

As in, who that we extracted stays, do the skins other than BB transfer, et cetera.

edit: keep the 'huge, revolutionary, only can be done in games' thing to yourself though, i wanna find that out myself.

Would anyone consider the transferable content spoilers? I think a spoiler tagged post would be fine, if not someone should say so.

We have a good idea of what is going to be transferred anyway. Pretty much every VIP and POW that was extracted in yellow letters. And also most if not all unlocked skins and the sneaking suit.

All we need now is confirmation on the matter.

Personally I don't think it is but I reckon spoiler tag/PM it anyway, just in case.

you mean that other video game that is coming out on september 1st?

I'm kinda sorry for WB about that...

PFHAHAHAHA No I'm not! They sold me a shit called Arkham Knight. Those fuckers.

Edit: Also. Gratz you lucky bastards who got the game early.

 

[Putyouinmyoven]

Aw

I hope he comes back from this and kicks our asses with more amazing games. OR would we rather see him finally make a movie?

 

[Shy]

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 know, bunch of fucking hypocrite.

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.

True, but for me it's the principle of the thing, you know.

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.

I really don't want to get into it, but this post makes me furious.

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

It's you're own responsibility to not get spoiled, not Konami or anyone else's.

holy shit all the salt directed at IP for spoiling an MSX game released in 1987.

#InfinityPatriotDidNothingWrong

Hear, hear. All of you who are blaming Infinity are being childish and stupid.

im here now guys. morning!

GAME have supposedly dispatched my orders today... but it's not clear if they've handed it to the Royal Mail or if it's just in a big pile waiting to be handed off.

Anyone know?

Game will have told Royal mail to hold it until just before release date. So you get it on the day. Sorry.

 

[Sigfodr]

you mean that other video game that is coming out on september 1st?

I'm actually a huge fan of Fury Road and I preordered the bluray, so I'll get it the same time as MGS. I'm just know I'm going to agonize about when to stop playing MGS to watch the black & white silent cut of Fury Road.

Spoiler

and i'm in 18 hours this semester, a job, and running 3 student orgs hahaha kill me

Yeah, any info on what guys exactly carry over in spoilers or a pm would be great. I know it's probably anyone in yellow, but I'd like to know so I don't spend too long trying to recover guys that I won't get later on. Just that info though, nothing else!

Royal mail doing as they are told thats a first i remember the days when i use to wake up and my mail already being at my door steps now they freak out just about being at work by 9pm

 

[Sigfodr]

Apparently the Ground Zeroes app (Android) just updated. Is this a thing?

I was actually planning to do this, but these are better than I woudl've ever done. Now to find good paper...

 

[AAMARMO]

people who ordered from simplygames do we think that the game will come tomorrow.

 

[Putyouinmyoven]

Okay, UK people, how and when did ShopTo's website become such an unfathomable piece of shit?

 

[schlongdog]

I doubt it. Like someone said earlier I imagine it'll be in the hands of the Royal Mail for a few more days yet.

 

[Strazyplus]

6 days...

 

[sexyelder]

I was thinking (assuming Kaz's amputeer was a soviet) what if u accidentally recruit him? That'd be intetesting :3

 

[pahamrick]

Would the save transfer stuff even be live yet? Considering no review outlet mentioned anything about it, makes me think that's offline until launch.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I hope the finger and the eye are on motherbase, I'll CQC them everytime I see them and I hope I can throw them into the sea.

Finally snagged the collectors edition after dealing with a ton of issues, such a big relief.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's how it works. The Royal Mail aren't a storage house for companies. They receive/pick up stuff, they deliver it. Plus, I've had stuff delivered from Game early before.

The only thing i dislike about Amazon. They don't charge me for the item when i preorder it until it releases. So annoying. I like to be charge when i pre order.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I'd be very surprised if that's the case.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I really hope they don't cancel MGO. You would assume that we get a little more footage near the games release...
