Eh. I guess. People making a big deal out of my reply which confirms nothing to be honest. I just meant what brau said is a spoiler.

Someone writes "Is X really Y???" in his post and you quote it, spoilertag it and write "this is a spoiler".

You've done nothing wrong, yeah...

EDit: You confirmed a speculation with "This is a spoiler".

If you think that was my intention, you are wrong. I simply tried to warn brau. But, since I own the game, apparently everything I say is a spoiler.

But, all right, I'll leave this thread.

From my own understanding,
she understands Japanese quite well and enjoys the culture a lot
, so if the spoiler is something I think it is then
I assumed it the entire time.

Finally! Wanted to get 100% before Phantom Pain as I get the idea it'll be hard to go back to the limited mechanics in Ground Zeroes after September 1st...

That's unfair of other posters. If one is looking to avoid spoilers then partaking in Metal Gear discussion a day before a major release in the series is probably not the best idea. Hardly your fault.

Enjoy the game.

Congrats, brother.

Also, I think people are overreacting to that "spoiler" a bit. Doesn't seem like a big deal.
 
*blocks eyes* Just jumping in here because the hype is through the roof. We are so fucking close now! I'll be in here for chatting about all things mgs again after I've platinumed the game

posting things as fake spoilers is not a thing you can really do now that people have the game, for all we know it can be an actual spoiler disguised as a joke. you should know better than this, Dawg.

Guys that backlash against Dawg was a bit too much. I understand you guys are on edge but seriously
Joosten voicing the Japanese character
is expected as her name is QUIET lol.

Shit and now he's left becuase you guys jump to conclusions, you should all feel ashamed of your words and deeds!

The thought is that you saying it's a spoiler is a confirmation since you have the game. I personally don't care cause I missed it anyway.

I know better. But it seems some of you don't. If people think I made a fake spoiler or didn't give a fuck about spoiling others, then you don't know me at all. I honestly cannot see why this is such a big deal. You guys are making assumptions.

If anything, I'm disappointed people are this quick to judge me. If it was a major spoiler, at least I could understand. But don't take my words, assume sonething right away and then spam that a huge spoiler has been posted.

I've seen worse than this in the other threads. If you really want to go in dark, why even visit MGS threads this close to release? I avoided TLOU threads for a full year. Don't tell me you can't avoid MGS threads. And if you still need to check, don't act like the tiniest bit of info is a huge spoiler.

If you want a real spoiler, there's a spoiler thread that has actual spoilers. I'm a bit upset now. I just wanted to help brau.

I shouldn't have clicked that stream to Joosten's Twitch channel. Chat is full of idiots spoiling the game in caps.

Talk about last minute 100%'ing huh? Good job!

I honestly didn't think I'd be able to. Had a rough time at first getting used to the controls again (hadn't picked up the game since it first game out) but I'm really glad I did. I really get the sense that since the gameplay and openness is a bit of a departure from older MGS titles that GZ is meant as a wading pool for people to grasp the gameplay mechanics without feeling overwhelmed.

September 1st can't get here soon enough!

I'm not even that far in the game to be able to know anything about it.

I don't even have Quiet.

We're all a bit on edge here, there's people spoiling others via PSN messagers, reddit PMs, random GAF threads, among others. No joke would've been well recieved here, if you wanted to help brau you should've just PM'd him.
 
Guys. We're past that possible spoiler comment, let's not point more eyes towards it.

As a recent 100%-er myself, congrats! Which op was a pain to S-rank for you?

I think we're all just really excited to experience MGSV and with it being so close emotions are high. In a few days we'll look back on this and feel silly for making such a big deal over something so small and turn our attention towards whatever bat-shit-crazy Kojima stuff we've just witnessed.

then I don't understand why brau's quote had to be spoilertagged from you tbh. Maybe I read something completely different, but I doubt it.

How can I even reply to this without mentioning a "spoiler"?

I get you guys are on edge, all right. I'll make sure not to post anything related to MGSV now.

Well... except for the OT :>

Intel Operative Rescue and Jamais Vu. (Jamais Vu wasn't so bad once you get a rhythm down but I WAS horrible at chopper shooting. Even after saving the operative's life time after time he only ever complained about how long it took!)

I know you didn't ask me, but I just finished and I wanted to jump in too. Anti-air emplacements was the worst for me. Not that it took the most attempts (Intel Operative or Jamais Vu may have taken more) but just because the way I ran it, I had to work with erratic enemy movement. A brilliant run could be ruined by an enemy in a location previously unoccupied. There were so many ways to run that mission, too, so choosing specific routes and stuff made it even harder.

Stephanie's stream probably got flagged by trolls as playing TPP. I feel so bad for her, she only wanted to do a fun stream...

I jumped on there for a minute and was reminded how horrible internet chat can be (both in terms of spoilers and sexist remarks). Damn shame

I don't know if you understand me correctly. In my view, it's totally natural for
Stefanie Joosten to do the voice of Quiet in japanese and english, that isn't a confirmation for me, that she actually talks in the game.

Your "this is a spoiler" made it seem like a confirmation, that
she talks in the game.

Brau's initial post wasn't a spoiler imo.

That intel operative is a bit too time conscious. First he keeps us waiting and then says we took so long. :p
Jamais Vu wasn't that hard right after you get the hang of it? People aren't a fan of it for some reason lol.

That's literally the same experience I had with Anti Air emplacements. The guards were a bit too erratic and kept ruining the S-rank when you go from the other opening, through the cage fence.

I know what'll get you all even more hyped.

People in the spoiler thread did some digging into what that whole "can only be done in video games" thing Kojima said for people who owned GZ.
Well they found some pretty awesome and solid evidence (from TPP and GZ) as to what that may be, let me just say that it's very KOJIMA. It may be the downfall of Kojima but it could be the single most amazing and batshit crazy thing I've ever heard in my life.
 
Venom Fox please...

I don't understand why I have to repeat myself on every new page that we don't talk about the game here...

Whatever, unsubbed. See you on the other side.
