I wouldn't mind, except for the
Paz's stomach bomb scene that showed up in the red band trailer.

I take it you can't redeem the DLC code already?
Glad I got the PSN 10 off or I might have been PO'ed with the length. However, I love the gameplay changes. Kojima been playing FPS's a lot, crysis and call of duty influences are there. Metal Gear 4 was much easier then this game for me. Not sure why I'm having a much harder time with this game.

The guards aren't as stupid in this game. They have a long range for sight and sound.

Yes. It's just as important as your efficiency. The idea is to run through the scenarios several times before you have it down to a science and eventually hit a perfect run. Sometimes it's the time that gets you the S rank, sometimes it's the prisoners, sometimes it's the no reflex bonus. Not everything has to be perfect.
Don't worry about rank in your first playthrough. Take your time and learn the mission. I normally play at a snail's pace than when i'm attempting S rank.

the direction is better than ever. in fact the opening of ground zeroes is probably the best cutscene I've ever seen in a game.
2 and 3 are a lot more self aware than you're giving them credit for. as postmodern takes on violent video game hero worship, they're a lot more honest and nuanced than spec ops the line, and in general they're a lot better than most AAA cinematic storygames that get praised for their narrative. 3 does some really clever things with its tonal shifts, and that's including the poopypants man.

Good thing I was on a media blackout for fir a while before GZ released, and will probably keep it that way for TPP.

Wow, you're right! Can't believe he played it, let alone liked it so much.

This reminded me, is there a place where I can buy "Sins of the Father"?
This is amazing, had no idea he played games either.
Well, he is the narrator of Little Big Planet, so I'm sure he knew of games.

Nope. It hasn't officially been released yet.
Oh yeah, forgot about that, he was in some Fable games too.
I was surprised too but he is a MASSIVE tech/gadget fan.

Shame. The music for the whole project, including trailers, has been awesome. Infiltration Theme in GZ, Not Your Kind of People and Here's To You are fantastic.

This is so awesome, so, so good. I'm glad he liked it.
Although he's obviously one of those guys that defends Kojima, he shouldn't be defending the game, dammit.
To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if he was completely unaware of the controversy surrounding the game. I just looked up some other stuff where he talks about game addiction and being worried that it'll happen to him (again), so something like Ground Zeroes probably suited him perfectly.

Yeah. I suppose it's because it's the theme for The Phantom Pain. Could be quite a wait until it gets a release. It'd be a surprised if it got released a bit later.

I have put in 10 plus hours and am only at 29% complete. The game is simply amazing. There are so many ways to play the different missions. I spent like 3 hours just trying to tag everyone in the second mission. I haven't even started with doing speed runs, or haven't tried hard mode yet.
I just got my first s rank in the ground zeros mission, now I am ready to mess around and find all patches.
This game is fantastic. Completely worth it for me, I clearly will put like 30-40 hours into this.

I could see it being the same for me. I have no s ranks yet. I just took my sweet ass time with the informant mission, making sure I got the right tape and rescuing the hostages with no alerts. I had a couple reflex shots I had to pull off, but I got a ranking of C.... I couldn't believe it. I did take a long time, though, so I assume that was the problem. I wish that didn't factor in, though.
I'm loving what this type of structure means for TPP and it's replay-ability. Giant open world hubs that you can come back to like chapters and do all kinds of objectives. Seems like an easy thing to add DLC to as well.

You just have to unlock them, not actually do them.

Genius marketing from Kojima. The Metal Gear brand definitely has a lot of power. It's strange not hearing other games that are more systemic in design talked about the rich replay value and how the structure could be tackled in so many different ways with players wanting to spend hours trying different things. Usually "speed runs" and such are a more niche thing with games.

so i just bought Metal Gear on the PSN.. do i still qualify for the DLC?
Probably already asked but are the extra ops canon? At first I considered them non canon, rather like some of the extra ops in Peace Walker like going on dates with Paz and Kaz, but then the Metal Gear wiki places them into the timeline. Which of course wouldn't make any sense given
Obviously Deja Vu/Jamais Vu missions are not canon.
the second to last extra op sees Camp Omega bombed to hell, and these missions are supposed to take place before Ground Zeroes.
Obviously Deja Vu/Jamais Vu missions are not canon.

Played the Xbox exclusive mission, playing as Raiden is pretty cool and the level is quite fun (if you go around blowing shit up like I did)

I'm guessing not. Seems like a bad idea to infiltrate the same base like 5 times in a row

I don't see how they could be canon but, at the same time, they obviously reference things important to the rest of the series. They can't come after Ground Zeroes in any case, but they also can't come before.

Being I got no idea whats going on i'm gonna go back and play peace walker. Besides Big Boss, Boss, and Miller I don't know who any of these people are.

Regardless of the talk. I'm finally downloading Ground Zeroes.
Edit: the review should be up shortly.

Yes they are canon, when you play them the game says that they are A pseudo historical recreation of the events that happened in other place. (That's why they say that they are in another place but is camp omega)
