This game endorses cowardice.

It's the kind of sick filth that should be banned.

I've already started a whitehouse.gov petition.

 

[matrixman92]

wake up u god damn sheep...we need moments of bravery in our games. Time to boycott this game #occupy

 

[TheLight]

its basically a demo.

People say this a lot but it seems like kind of an empty statement. Short game, sure. Slice of another game, absolutely. The distinction is that a demo does not result in something like GZ.

 

[JJD]

I'm horrible with time zones, how long until midnight guys?

Hopefully the digital version will be up by then.

Then it's a demo+.

It has, on the average 1st playthrough, ~2hrs of gameplay and cinematics; plus a few short extra missions to pad it out so they can justify (in their minds) charging half the full game price.

 

[perineumlick]

I can't keep myself from killing people in this game! Every time I grab and interrogate an enemy, I give in to the urge and slit their throats, bonuses be damned! I might have a problem.

People like you are the reason for the lack of a moment of bravery. You sicken me.

How do you roll?

 

[Alienous]

You don't. Unless it's sideways while prone.

I've never played a demo with any of this. The whole pricing and length stigma is way hyperbolic.

They literally just cut a piece of a game and put it for sale, I don't care whether or not people think that's right or worth it, but calling it a demo or diminishing it based on length/price is pretty dismissive.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Nothing in this thread has really endorsed buying this, sounds pretty weak overall. This will be the first mgs I don't day one, will wait for a sale.

 

[Spazznid]

Why can't Metal Gear roll?

 

[GorillaJu]

So does this come out in a few hours or in a day and a few hours?

I always forget how the time difference works to America.

 

[plasmawave]

Because the game lacks a moment of bravery.

It's time we all drop the charades and own up to that fact.

Damn it. We have to call french fries, freedom fries again?

Those are US Marines you're slaughtering, right?

Somebody let the NSA know we have a 'merican killer here.

 

[AKyemeni]

I'm at 62 percent.

Can't put the game down. Must have spent at least 8 to 9 hours on the game.

I played a Ninja Gaiden demo that was about an hour, had cinematics and an extra mission.

 

[Lemondish]

I was soooo disappointed that Canada's lack of desire to join in the fun in Iraq didn't result in 'freedom bacon'.

 

[Korezo]

It's in the tags a few posts above yours. criesofthepast asked.

How do I destroy the tank and helicopter in "Intel Operative Rescue"? I tried stun gunning the crap out of them but it didn't work, so I rocket blast them and ended up with 2 kills at the end of the mission.

I think Ninja Gaiden is only that long if you suck at it. Just sayin'

Yeah I got excited but...money is tight. $30 on kojima awesome into my veins for about 5 hrs tops with replaying and everything included or save it and put it towards vastly longer Infamous SS. This game is kind of in a bad spot.

Which lends itself to the idea of subjective gaming experiences and play times. If you can dick around and waste time in a demo of NG, you can easily squeeze the same milk out of something like GZ.

Nvm figured out how to do it

Personally, I'll be able to squeeze out a lot of playtime in GZ.

When MGS4, it was panned for having less gameplay than the cutscenes. But I fucked around with the guards so much my first playthrough was embarrassingly long. Then the second run had all those secret gadgets I could use, or the third or forth, whenever I got the points for shit like the "Sun Gun" (I forgot the name!)

Anyway, replay is different for almost every single person. Some people won't want to touch the game after they beat only the main story mode, and some people like me will do a stealth run, a gunnin' run, a mix of both, a no kill mode, etc.

I'll be the latter as well. S ranking, collecting, and going for best times.

 

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

Too bad Kojima didn't just default to including boss fights in this game. Stick to tradition and keep moments of bravery in our MGS games, Kojima!

Edit: *cough*

I agree. I'll probably be replaying this quite a bit to get better rankings and just to mess around with the sandbox elements. I guess for people who don't like replaying games on harder difficulties or those who only care about the main story, this seems like a pretty poor value proposition. Personally, I've bought a bunch of games around the same price which I'm likely to get less playtime out of.

 

[atomico]

Bought a PS4 yesterday for this game alone.

Anybody know how big the downloadable version's gonna be?

It's really hard to predict if the game will have the same effect on me and unfortunately that's the only way I could feel I'm getting my money's worth. I love Metal Gear, MGS was the first major mature game I played as a kid and cemented my love for video games. With that said the pricing and what's being offered here almost feels like a cash in on my relationship with the series. I'm so torn.

 

[Live Free or Die]

App is up for Android.

Still no add to cart button.

I do. I don't suck at MGS though so I guess this is a 50 minute game for me, to get 100%.

If I take a break at some point to eat a sandwich. Slowly.

 

[TheLight]

Big Boss looks like a really cool dad at this point.

 

[criesofthepast]

Ugh how do you roll again? I'm trying to get a collectible.

Collectible spoiler:

the xof patch that apparently falls of snake by rolling or something?

Edit: Nvm got it.

 

[OneEyedKing]

Its not as uncommon as you think.

I keep thinking about a game starring The Boss as a lead. E3 2017, a trailer of in game gameplay starts with a lone soldier on a airplane, equipment and other items on the plane are rumbling/rattling about. A light turns green and the soldier opens the door, peaks out, and then jumps out. The player is controlling where the solider goes, after diving through clouds a massive battle is seen, taking place on a beach and land. D-day is happening.

The player moves the soldier behind enemy lines and deploys their parachute. The player could've landed anywhere on land. The solider has a clean landing well past the battle. The solider takes off a mask, and it is revealed to be The Boss. The Sorrow through mind conversation says "quick landing my dear", and then The Boss replies "I don't keep people waiting."

THEN BOOM, Metal Gear Solid: Legacy of the Philosophers pops up on the screen.

Drop mic, pants will be shitted in, the Metal Gear fan base across the world rejoices for weeks.

I don't think The Boss would be doing a lot of parachuting out of airplanes when she was that late in her pregnancy.

 

[matrix-cat]

I don't think The Boss would be doing a lot of parachuting out of airplanes when she was that late in her pregnancy.

The Boss literally gave birth in the middle of storming the beach at Normandy on D-Day. She was not a fan of maternity leave

 

[OneEyedKing]

Of course, but I'm assuming she arrived by boat or something a little more practical than jumping out of an airplane thousands of feet over the earth.

 

[March of the Crabs]

I don't want this. The few people I've talked to that have played it early tell me it's not worth it. I also don't have the money. But fuck if this goes up at midnight I know I'm gonna buy it

I would pay so much money for this.

gimme that blast of next gen MGS goodness

I guess your playtime will depend on what kind of sandwich.

Stick a roast beef sammy in front of me and I'll devour that thing in seconds. Egg salad, though? That'll take the better part of a night.

I would like to know too. I know you have to destroy the tank but its difficult to do that with the extra stunned bodies around.
