Thanks to Washington Post's worthless review, MGSV is now down to 94 MC.

"For 28 reviews, this publication has graded:

28% higher than the average critic
7% same as the average critic
65% lower than the average critic

On average, this publication grades 4.8 points lower than other critics. (0-100 point scale)
Average Game review score: 68" - http://www.metacritic.com/publication/washington-post?filter=games

It's hard to judge a review of a game I haven't played yet. But compared to other reviews it does seem 'too' low. However they have a tendency to award lower grades than their colleagues. It is what it is.

Yup. Don't stream without our specified consent (like press) until September 1st or you will get a takedown.

Tora! Have we cleared up the great Schala pronunciation mystery? Besides that Sarah is her real Japanese name?

Also is it Janus or Yanus?

 

[Raven Prime]

Tora can you tell us anything about the Kyle Cooper opening? A part of the MGS community would really like to know.

 

[beatdowniidx]

Yup. Don't stream without our specified consent (like press) until September 1st or you will get a takedown.

so can we stream it as soon as it unlocks on steam because for me thats like 7:00am on Monday but its 12am in new Zealand on the 1st

 

[Slowdive]

That UK copy that was in OT3, was that from shopto?

No, Shopto aren't sending copies out until Friday/Saturday.

 

[MajorTom]

No, Shopto aren't sending copies out until Friday/Saturday.

Ahh okay, thanks for your response.
Side note, did you change your name? Maybe I just didn't notice your name before

 

[Timeaisis]

So WaPo gave it an 8/10, huh? Whatever.

Spoiler

HOW DARE THEY

Seriously, though. It happens, people don't like some games.

 

[tensuke]

That Hori MGSV headset is seriously nice. Hnnngghhhhhh

 

[Slowdive]

Side note, did you change your name? Maybe I just didn't notice your name before

Nope.

 

[DrKelpo]

By next week they'll see you coming and whisper to one another "oh crap it's that guy again..." xD

haha .. or they see me on friday and throw the game at me "take it, but leave us alone already"

 

[malfcn]

Great OT. Very nice, it will be a good base for awhile.

Just foxing with you!

You are positive, i like you!


I was talking with a friend about a movie trailer and he told me that a certain character says the following line " i am not gonna kill you...".
While listening to him i thought " why the fuck kill him/her? Fulton the mofo back to MB and make him work for you".
Hype has left its mark on me...

Spoiler

you all know what came to my mind while typing the word "mark"...

I don't even see where in their review that they give it a score

[brau]

brau, you have to let your past go.

But the past is what makes us Shery.

Didn't you watch the last Kojima trailer? Reminisce and learn from your past and accomplishments. Since that is what makes us who we are today.

 

[Furyous]

Watched the recent trailer with the Mother Base walkthrough before bed.. what in the shit did I get myself into as I experienced the trailer in first person. Kind of fun dream with me wrecking shit.

Anywhoo, who else is waiting to play the game until speedruns are available? Be warned that spoilers should hit hours after the game launches even though some portion of those are out now. I expect multiple walkthroughs to hit by Tuesday.

I'm playing GZ to familiarize myself with the controls before trying to S rank whatever first mission is in TPP.

Anyone with a puppy want to hold them up and do the DD pose?

 

[pahamrick]

I was playing Watch_Dogs to kill some time, and I was highly disappointed in the people who were invading me.

Highly disappointed. Let's go over some basic tips, since this would apply to FOB invasions as well.

Tip #1: If you're infiltrating a hostile area, do not run up to the person you're invading and open fire prior to completing or even initiating the objective you're supposed to be doing.

Tip #2: If you're infiltrating a hostile area, do not randomly open fire on miscellaneous objects/NPCs and give away your position prior to initiating your objective.

People keep telling me not to watch it though so I haven't. I want to real bad. You're my best friend, right? What do you suggest I do?

Follow your heart Shery. Your heart always knows.

And of course we are besties. Which btw.. why have you not replied to my last IM on gchat?

 

[Shy]

Really nice OP Prince, but you've left out the wall of shame and the community ID spreadsheet.

Posting this for the new OT.

PSA. to anybody who has sent me a friend request on the PS4 could you please send me a steam one, becuase if i'm not able to get an early copy tomorrow (Tuesday), i'm not gonna bother and go PC exclusive.
I've updated the spreadsheet to include my steam ID.

I am here now guys!

Whoa, new community OT just in time for launch. Neat.

TORA-SEMPAI !

How have you been holding up with all the pre-release madness at the office. ?

figured I'd stop lurking and show my excitement for this game. Have been following these threads for a while now. Can't believe we are only a week away.

Still remember when I couldn't afford many games and I played the metal gear demo on that pizza hut disk over and over.

Hard to believe it's coming to an end.

WELCOME NEW BROTHER.

Watched the recent trailer with the Mother Base walkthrough before bed.. what in the shit did I get myself into as I experienced the trailer in first person. Kind of fun dream with me wrecking shit.

Yep looks god-tier.

Anywhoo, who else is waiting to play the game until speedruns are available? Be warned that spoilers should hit hours after the game launches even though some portion of those are out now. I expect multiple walkthroughs to hit by Tuesday.

Nah, i'm not gonna wait.

I'm playing GZ to familiarize myself with the controls before trying to S rank whatever first mission is in TPP.

Noice. This quide should help you with getting all the personal fam.

Anyone with a puppy want to hold them up and do the DD pose?

I do.

Welcome Shy!

 

[pahamrick]

Anyone want to hide a link to the community id spreadsheet in one of their posts? I'd do it, but I don't have the link handy.

Otherwise, feel free to send me a friend invite on Steam for FOB shenanigans.

My quest to play through most of the MGS series is almost over having completed 1-3 in the past week(3 was amazing). I'm now on to Peace Walker since I don't think I have time to complete 4 in time. I've read the requirements to get the true ending and it seems fairly straightforward, but is there anything in particular I should be looking out for while playing through the game? I've read that it is better to take care of these things while playing through the main story, but I'm not entirely sure what is referring being to. Is it the parts for

Spoiler

Metal Gear Zeke

or something else?

I haven't read any spoilers aside from what is needed so maybe once I play I'll know exactly what it is talking about, but thought I'd double check. Thanks!

 

[RetroMG]

Hnnnggg...

"Expected payment date from Wallet?" Wait, so it bills you when the game comes out? I think I paid for mine up front. (Which I would prefer, tbh.)

 

[Sheriff_Battlesnake]

my main man shy!

 

[ElTorro]

"Expected payment date from Wallet?" Wait, so it bills you when the game comes out? I think I paid for mine up front. (Which I would prefer, tbh.)

Yeah, at least the European PSN works that way. My credit card usually get's charged 1-2 days before release.

 

[brau]

"Expected payment date from Wallet?" Wait, so it bills you when the game comes out? I think I paid for mine up front. (Which I would prefer, tbh.)

Thats weird... mine you just pay up front. I see the charge in my account the min i pre order it. Which is what i like. Unlike amazon, that doesn't charge you until its ready to be shipped.

 

[MajorTom]

"Expected payment date from Wallet?" Wait, so it bills you when the game comes out? I think I paid for mine up front. (Which I would prefer, tbh.)

In the UK (maybe all of EU) you aren't charged until just before release.
I'd prefer to be charged as soon as I pre order but either way is fine I guess.

 

[RetroMG]

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, US PSN charges you at the time. Which is a relief, I wouldn't have the cash to buy it again on the first. Too many bills due right then, which is why I pre-ordered and paid ahead of time.

 

[ElTorro]

I'd prefer to be charged as soon as I pre order but either way is fine I guess.

If that's what you prefer you can always charge up your PSN credit in advance.

 

[JeffZero]

You could toggle vibration on and off on the MGS demo disc... I-I'm ashamed of my related prepubescent deeds.

I laughed pretty hard at this.

...in a library.

Welcome aboard.

i got my copy of witcher 3 there 4-5 day early... hope it happens again.^^

glottis avatar. You have good taste. Friend.

brau, you have to let your past go.

would love to hear the story behind this

 

[brau]

Stay awhile and listen, friend....

 

[MajorTom]

If that's what you prefer you can always charge up your PSN credit in advance.

That's what I did. It's just so tempting to spend from my wallet when it says £60 in the top corner

Awww man, setting them up to get banned

 

[Gui_PT]

Hey guys, I'm sorry for bothering but I have a question and hope someone here can answer.
I've asked it in another thread but got a lot of different answers

I'm stuck with last gen and I want to get the disc version of the game, does anyone know how much HDD space is required for the game?( not to install the game but Ground Zeroes required 1.7GB so I assume this will need something too) And does it need to be installed in the HDD or can a USB be used?

 

[Shy]

Yeah. Crypt. Please remove that link. Snitches get stitches.

my main man shy!

 

[Kenzodielocke]

IF they get caught by Tora, they will get banned from Twicht, No?

Yes, but twitch bans too. I don't know tora's power on other platfroms like hitbox.
