Kiefer's delivery of "pretty sure" is better than anything Hayter has said as Snake in the last decade (since MGS3).

Finished this thing in 1 hour and 40 minutes, and I actually took my time with it, messed around, rescued all of the hostages in the cell area. Meh is my opinion on it for now. I feel like it should come with a $20 rebate for the real MGSV.
It looks nice for a PS3 game, the framerate is all over the place, in that sense it performs similarly to MGS4, probably a bit worse. It's definitely not the ZOMG experience of MGS2. I suppose it's the best controlling Metal Gear game yet, although it's still awkward and unintuitive in several place. It is what it is. I'm iffy on the open world design, I liked the tightly designed layouts of MGS2 and MGS3, where every section seemed like a puzzle of its own. This game is more annoying than anything else, where you don't know when the thing is going to decide to autosave.

Yeah, I definitely prefer Sutherland over Hayter's "I am gargling cigarett butts" Snake/Boss

CVG video proves that you can finish the game in 20 minutes. With cutscenes, it is closer to 90 minutes. To me, paying 30 dollars for this is really bad. Dead Rising had something similar, but that game was 15 bucks. I am going to wait until a sale hits to play this. It is a shame since I hear it is a good game, just so short.

Kiefer is REALLY good.
Side Ops are really cool. The map may seem small, until you're looking for one specific person haha. I just hope they randomly spawn somewhere everytime I do the Side Op.
While doing one I randomly rescued some random POW who started crying and thanking me I saved his life while I was carrying him to the chopper. That was fucking brutal, really stood out for me.

Not sure, but it's probably due to the UN inspection.

I do like Kiefer as Snake, only problem I have is the volume of the voices.
I don't think they do. I'll come up with something.
Kaz: Hey, Snake.
Snake: Kaz.
Kaz: Just wanted to let you know, you won't be able to extract any soldier using the fulton recovery system.
Snake: Hmm? (Dat acting)
Kaz: The Cuban airspace is being monitored by American surveillance. We can't risk detection, especially with recent events. And, anyway, the guards you'll meet are marines. It might be difficult to convince them of joining us.
Snake: Got it
Kaz: Focus on the mission. Vehicular extraction is your best option.
(I've been trying to justify everything in the game, down to the marking system. I think I have a pretty good explanation for that).

Going to reserve judgement till I play tonight, but I have a real soft spot for Hayter. Sometimes the technically "better" person for the job doesn't always do it for me. I do like Kiefer though, so it's possible.
Yes, in some places I'd have missed quite a few words if it weren't' for the subtitles.
The amount of color depth and clarity that the extra resolution brings on the ps4 makes it the clear pick if you have both options.
If you only have an xbone don't feel bad the game looks practically the same despite what that higher resolution brings on the ps4.
They did an excellent job with aa at 720p.

So far all you can do is go to Cassette Tapes, then move over to the helicopter option and pick from the list they give you, I haven't seen a way to integrate our own music. But hey that's what Music Unlimited is for I guess.
I gotta say I loved 4 but on Subsequent playthroughs I skipped the cut scenes and hate waiting on the downloads..great TPS tactical true stealth game. On Big Boss difficulty steath is a must.

That means no Beach Boys

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
Waiting for installing isn't a problem anymore. You can now install the entire game from the start.
Nanomachines!
You can import music that's on your PS3's HD after you finish GZ, there's an option in the main menu.
Just the main "story" mission, there are some side missions separate from that but they take place in the same location. So I assume it's just more of the same. Speaking of the story, there's no real narrative here, which is why I find the comparisons to short indie games like Gone Home ridiculous. I didn't find anything about the GZ mission satisfying.

Played it for like 10 minutes last night now I'm anxiously waiting to go home to actually finish it.
Keifer as Snake feels fucking weird though, everything about Snake is just so off. The things he says, how he says them, it's kinda surreal.

Well the real problem is the hayter should have never been both snake and bigboss.
Well, no physical copies at the Gamestop I went to. So that sealed the deal in avoiding the Shinikawa Tax(Me) of $10 more for retail and just got a $20 PSN card to buy it digitally for PS3.
Tora, relay to Konami/Sony: U DOIN IT RITE. $20 this, $20 Revengence Steam... MMMMMmmmmmmm... based Kojima digital strategy.
Also relay that if MGS5 (and previous entries) came out on Steam, I'd buy them sight unseen.

If you know what you're doing, of course.
you have to beat it once on normal to unlock hard.

Howdy!
I'm livestreaming the game right now. Watch it here.
Doing a normal run through GZ start-to-finish, a speed-run through GZ plus two side ops. Come watch!

And you have no side missions left? That's crazy. I mean, I knew this was short. But I thought this had a decent amount of side missions/ops to do (like Peacewalker).

I don't plan to get this, and as a result I have been rather lackadaisical in following news about this but on the previous page Betty posted her(?) final stats screen. Something I'm curious about is in relation to the mission rank; has it been announced if the "Peace Walker"-like mission ranking is due to the length of the demo, or mission structure, and will the animal codename ranking system return for "The Phantom Pain"?, or is the "S, A, B, etc." system remaining in place for future installments? I only ask as while I didn't mind the letter system in Peace Walker given that it was for a portable, I have always had a soft-spot for the codename system so I'm hoping it'll be returning in "The Phantom Pain" yet, as mentioned, I haven't really been paying attention to much news relating to this so I was unaware that the codename system wasn't in place for this installment.

You can download it all in one go now, so no redownloading is necessary anymore.
No, I've got something better than that. Brace yourself, because here's my exposition dump (... wow, that ... I didn't mean for it to sound like that). My explanation for the marking system:
Makes total sense.
I was surprised by how streamlined EVERYTHING is.The seamless cover mechanics took me by surprise...sooo good
Everything is integrated directly into the gameplay without ever cutting to sub-screens including codec information.
I also loved how the cutscenes were basically a continuous cut almost as if a floating camera was moving through the scene.
The "Side Ops" don't unlock until you've finished the story mission. He's likely just talking about the story mission.
Except that Kojima went a LITTLE overboard with the shaky cam!

Nice to hear that even if this "game" is short, it lives up to the series' potential.

Are you writing fanfic for MGS in here? XD
Even when I fail the No-Alerts run towards the end, I still go for the end of Ground Zeroes just to watch that ending cutscene. Damn,
that battle cry when Kiefer Snake goes berserk at his comrade's death...

That's pretty lame and immersion breaking. Was hoping you could seriously take your time with the game before finishing the storyline to extend the experience, but it kinda really pushes the generic aspect of the side ops by having them happen afterwards
Pretty much. I mean, I don't have the game, but I still want to enjoy the influx of MGS intrigue.
