Can't believe I broke down and bought the digital PS4 version of this for $30. I just couldn't wait to try out a new MGS for myself especially on new hardware. It's already downloaded but I won't play it until a later today, gotta get some sleep soon. My day is pretty much game filled today with this and FFX/X-2 remaster being delivered from Amazon later today.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes |OT| Kaz, I'm already a demo
- Thread starter BurnOutBrighter
- Start date
the same clip is apparently a download code on last gen versions.
tpp is still cross-gen.
1)playing stealth mode, withoud reflex mode and other stuffs like that
2)use scope to listen guard's speaks and call Kaz every time.
3)find all XOF patches
4)find all tapes
5)stun every single guard, and take in the chopper
6)save all prisoners idem
should be enough for over 2 hours of gameplay.

You can take the guards in the chopper?
think so.
How would one go about paying for this on a US account?

I just tried to cancel now as I was going to go digital as it said shipping now but it could not cancel it so they must all be going out now.
Better be here tomorrow...
Buy credit from Amazon or Master Card I guess.
Amazon PSN Gift Card (1x $20 + 1x $10) + your Credit Card + GEORGETOWN, DELAWARE Address (0% Tax and they have a strawberry road) + US PSN Account which has your PS4 as "primary ps4"

So my brother picked this up, hasnt played yet but told me that main mission is a couple of hours with around four side missions at one hour each around, Im thinking he will be disappointed.

Once I created a US psn account, I also created a US amazon account, make sure you use a US billing address (i used a university address in Alaska), then buy psn cards from there to use to purchase the games on the psn store.
some ppl have had amazon stop their order and request they send in a proof of address before, so the way i do it is to purchase amazon gift cards in dollars using my uk account, then add the funds to the us account and buy the psn cards that way and have never had an issue personally.
Yes. Buy it.

Have the PS3-version which looks amazing in terms of lighting, character models and shaders. The sound engine is awesome and I love the rain effects. BUT! The hair and the foliage. I really hope they fix these aspects in the next-gen versions of The Phantom Pain.
Even when being up close in Snake's face you see this transparency issue or whatever it is which really ruins the visuals. Playing it on PS3 I get it even though a couple of even better looking games on the same system with equal scale does it right. For the PS4 and Xbone on the other hand this is not acceptable. So yeah. Just an aspect which hopefully is improved upon.

Buy credit on Amazon, offgamer or other sites where you can buy prepaid psn cards. Amazon is the best place to buy. I've been using offgamer after receiving an email from Amazon asking for a bunch of documentation :]
Do you think there's a lot of replayability? Like can you simply create chaos in the base and go on a shoot out or something?

Would that work to not be charged sales tax on Xbox LIVE as well?
dunno, I don't own Xbox consoles ~
maybe, since the sales tax applies to the country/state you live in, afaik. But I dunno how xbox is handling accounts
are these the side missions? or just goals you set for yourself to try

I agree, I really didn't like the way the camera bounced about in the intro movie either.
so far my stealth skills in this game are somewhat lacking, get spotted by the first watchtower, which leads to me going on a rampage ending up in the minigun turret mowing wave after wave of reinforements with the alarms blaring, now i'm running around shotgunning ppl in the face...
lol that's my plan, too
sorry konami, you're not getting money out of me. voting with my dollar
They're in-game achievements. There's a completion percentage that pops up during gameplay.

buy it from toys r us with 10% off coupon and you get a $10 gift card B^)
or do like me and rent it from red box
I've been hearing that main mission plus side missions are typically 4 to 5 hours total.
but i mean, is that it? or are there "side missions" as well as those achievements?
if those are the only thing to do besides the actual story mission then...everyone was kind of right to call bs on this game. yes, there's stuff to do, but there's not really any design work that goes into stuff like "beat the game without getting caught" or "find all the patches"
Right, but anyone paying attention knew that. It's tough to say who this is for exactly. A lot of MGS fans are there for the story above all else...this isn't for them. I've always been a stealth fan first, crazy MGS story second. This game opens up so many possibilities as that kind of fan in the MGS universe, I have to give it a go. I have it downloaded, but can't get to it till later tonight. I know I'll put an absurd amount of hours into it and care about how much or little story/actual mission structure there is, somewhere in the ballpark of 0%

You. You can be my wingman any time.
oh, absolutely
and i never really doubted that it would be great to replay a bunch of times, as a mgs fan
but it's still kind of frustrating to see this stuff confirmed. i will wait and buy it used because i dont want to support konami selling this as a 30 dollar product

Ground Zeroes should not have been released as a standalone release. It should 've been bundled with LoS2 . The success of this full priced demo will only enable other companies to follow suit. I cannot in full conscience, support such an endeavour. 30 dollars for a glorified demo is blasphemy. Isn't there supposed to be a committee to prevent practices like these?
...i'm sitting at work trying not to think about the fact that a new mgs game is available and i don't own it yet lol
hopefully i don't cave
i think it won't be too bad though because i am expecting used copies to show up VERY quickly since it's so short

FUCK I caved and I bought this. Looks and its runs beautifully at least. I'll judge its value for myself when I finish it I guess.
Oh, yeah. Thats about it. 4 or 5 side-ops, those in-game achievements and the main game.
I really suspect that GZ will be filled with DLC before TPP arrives.
