Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes |OT| Kaz, I'm already a demo
- Thread starter BurnOutBrighter
- Start date
I did.
That game came out 4 months later in Europe. The press spoiled the shit out of it, despite being told not to.
I know that feel.
Fuck you PS magazine.

I'll wrap it in spoiler tags just in case.
1st run for Ground Zero mission was about 1 hour and 40 min. Each additional mission was anywhere from 15min to 30 min on my first playthrough.

GameStops near me aren’t doing a midnight release for Ground Zeroes. Only 14 preorders (13 for PS4, 1 for Xbox One for those interested). I specifically walked there to preorder the PS4 version in order to play after midnight.
I still preordered from GameStop because Sony/Konami didn’t get their shit together and make it a digital day one thing on the PS4, and for the reversible cover art I guess. But I won’t be playing it tonight like I had hoped. Fuck me for wanting the PS4 version. It’s one of the reasons I got a PS4 so early in the first place; to play the next generation of Metal Gear Solid games as soon as possible.
Guess it’ll be more Planetside 2/Titanfall this evening while I wait.

But what if it's shit though?

That's not correct though.

A game for The Boss has always seemed like the next logical step for the series. Koj has basically written Snake into a corner and god knows we've now seen enough of Big Boss in the 60's and 70's. It would either have to be a whole new arc (which would be bullshit) or go back even further and show what The Boss got up to during World War 2, but with that comes the risk of stagnating the character.
I think personally it would be ideal to marry the two. A whole new set of characters taking place in the early 20th Century during the time of The Philosopher's. Shit would be money.

How do you unlock that last side mission marked "????"
Aye, it's a content assessment.
You have to have a game that can justify the larger set of trophies, content-wise. And Playstation have some regulations regarding what can be a trophy, and how many of each type of trophy you're allowed (by that I mean trophies for completion, different difficulties etc). If you can't reach their internal parameters, and seemingly if you aren't a Playstation exclusive, they deem the game a "smaller content game" which come with a smaller trophy set.

Youve got to be kidding me. I just came home from GameStop after preordering it. God dammit. Get out of my mind, Sony/Konami!!

that's a reasoning that makes no sense.. considering Telltale Games products have Platinum Trophies.

I preordered the game on ps3. Isn't there an option to pre-download the game?

Thanks. I'll find them. Only found one though I wasn't really looking.
Quoting from your article, I'm glad you put this in there. If this prologue is a success, I fear other publishers and developers may look to this model and start releasing games like this. It's a great way to get consumers to pay $90 for something they'd normally pay $60 for.

The Wal-Mart by my house is open 24 hours. Can I go in after midnight and pick it up (assuming they have it in stock) or do I have to wait till the morning for them to put it out?
Man.. fuck examiner.
Who the fuck spoils the ending of the game in the first paragraph of the review? And the review is just complaining about the games length.

Call and ask!
This is true. Please take deep breaths and remain calm. I don't want people injuring themselves on Hypothetical Pre-Pre-Hype.
It's in the tags a few posts above yours. criesofthepast asked.

But I still dont know when the PS4 version will actually let me buy it. Price and Add to cart button is still not showing.

Did you pre-order in full? If not, grab it tomorrow if it never shows up on psn. If it shows up on psn you can always move your preorder to some other game you wanted to pick up in the future.

Doesnt matter if I preordered it in full or not; if I can get it on PSN earlier, I will just cancel the preorder from GameStop. Well see.
Probably, dunno how strict they usually are I'm surprised it appeared this early.

I feel the same way. I want that extra content, kind of, but it's not even much... I think I'll go to bed early, but then I'll get up early, and have to wait for the package to arrive between 2 PM and 7PM. I can't take it no mo!
Gamekult.com Review : 5/10
+ balanced infiltration/action gameplay
+ acceptable graphics
+ enhanced IA
+ a desire to know more about the future MGS V
- insufficient content
- far too expensive
- no moment of bravery, boring side missions
- a rather limited open world

I just finished the main mission and I have to say that was the best game I've played in a very long time.
Same content. PS3 pre-order comes with Theme is the only difference.
Spoiler-free impressions?
Boss. Thanks.
I expect to see a lot of this
Same frickin' here. And it hurts..
I actually said "Lawd" out loud.
The pummeling Kojima, KojiPro and Konami are about to get can only make them stronger. It'll be a humbling experience, I'm sure.
Boss fight?
I assume so. "Cool set piece", or something like that.

If they have it in stock, I usually ask an employee to fetch it from the back. It works every time for me. I'm planning on doing the exact same thing you are. Might wait until 1 or 2 just to give them the chance to put it out so I don't have to ask. Feels rude, you know?

I had actually hoped that
the destruction of Mother Base
not in a grand scale, just have you pressing the trigger at points to save more soldiers than you would normally, so they could stick around as bonus personnel in Mother Base
when you're on The Boss's horse, chasing after the titular mech, or occasionally having to shoot down drones or do CQC
As an aside, can't wait for Phantom Pain reviews to dock points for starting off without any preamble when it's all in Ground Zeroes. Then again, people might not mind by then if it's massively discounted prior to TPP's release...
