Yeah, that is pretty friggin lame.
I like to do a lot of the side stuff first.
BTW how large is this game exactly? I hope its not some small area.

What makes more sense: That Big Boss' voice would suddenly morph into that of a Hollywood superstar after 3 games, or that two clones would share the same voice? (edit: I guess a man and his clone, to be precise)
If they ever remake MG1 and 2, then it would be a problem, but in that case they should've brought back Richard Doyle instead. It would've been the perfect transition between Naked Snake and MGS4 Big Boss.
Ah okay. I mean I knew the game was short, but I also figured you could really dig into the side ops or whatever. I thought he was saying he did the Mission + All the side Ops in 1 hour and 30 min.

So I haven't really been paying attention to this thread. Just picked up my boxed copy from the store. Is there any indication on the box that it includes the preorder bonus? I preordered mine but it doesnt really say anything on the box about it. Just wanted to make sure before I opened it!
Kojima should've seen Serenity's opening scene and hired Steadycam operators, then.

But then why didn't Liquid Snake and Solidus Snake also sound like Solid Snake?
Hell why are we even talking about the science of clones? They haven't cloned people in real life!
You want indication? They printed the blurb about the preorder DLC onto the package slip. =_=

Despite the length really enjoying this, everything is so streamlined and feels great, escaping the compound is tense and pretty thrilling. Plus sutherland is pretty good, didnt bother me at all. Time to start those side ops, S-ranks, and general what can I all do that come with metal gear games.
Naked Snake

Yeah I liked that. They're going for a grungy photographic camera look in everything. It's refreshing.
Nope
Because this series is fucking dumb! But of the two propositions I give, Big Boss suddenly transforming into Jack Bauer is even more ludicrous to me.
Dash could be double press of circle. Picking up someone already demands long press.
Same thing happened to me with Dark Souls 2. And what I did was purchase it in store, and cancel my pre-order.
I don't know what happened, but Amazon Canada really sucks now.

I never watched 24, so I have no baseline for Kiefer Snake outside of... Phone Booth? And I barely remember that. He doesn't sound out of place to me.

I'm conflicted. It seems short but I really like metal gear. Is the ps3 version okay? Thinking of sharing with a friend at 10$ each. I'm so close to buying it I just need a little nudge to feel good about it.

I'm still wondering where this series is going to go after this game. I think Big Boss' storyline will be done. Solid Snakes' is also done.
So what else can they do?

Depending how this ends, there's potentially more to fill. The original Metal Gear takes place in 1995, but The Phantom Pain takes place in 1984. So you have 11 years in between the two.

Brain of BB/SS in a new metal gear
Line of Emmerich
there are a lot of ways they could go, quality or sensibility aside
What do you mean? The bonus is unlocking items in Phantom Pain? Thought that was with every copy?
With Scarlett Johansson as The Boss.

How, how exactly are you playing, I see people finishing this in 80 minutes, collectibles?

Your progress in Ground Zeroes will go into Phantom Pain, and there's also the DLC code that you can obtain with the flyer in the package. The latter is only in first-press copies.
Or msg 6 who's the boss? Starring tony danza

First mission took me 6 hours
Explored every nook and crany. And took a ton of screenshots for GAF while doing it.
I don't play games to get to the ending. I play them to explore and live in their world, take in the pretty sights, and find the secrets the developers have undoubtedly hidden away from the direct path.
Cool, thanks for clearing things up.
Yeah, finding all the weapon locations and playing around with them. I also tried what happens if I snug into a car that is being driven away, what happens if I blow up certain things, and currently doing a proper playthrough in which I want to kill all enemies so I can scour the map for the last collectibles before finishing the mission later.
First mission took me 5 and a half hours

Yup, guess thats also where I will end up.
I think he should have been. It worked well in MGS3, and it stays true to how the Japanese voice acting has been handled.

They need to fix the mg/mg2 continuity so there's that.

Pretty huge Metal Gear fan here but haven't played through PO or PW, though not for lack of trying. I know nobody cares about PO, but how important is PW to this? Important enough that I should play it first? Or can I jump in without worry?

What? You must have left it on, drove to mcdonalds, ate in, used the bathroom, blew a tire and finally got home.

I honestly hope they move the storyline forward after MGS5. They've done enough prequels.
They can't move it forward. Kojima preemptively nuked the plot of any game that tried to set itself after MGS4.

David Hayter was cast as Big Boss because at the time, he was the English counterpart of Akio Otsuka who is the japanese voice of Snake, Big Boss, and Solidus. I think Liquid has a different voice because he's supposed to be a different nationality from the other three? Or something... but the real "mistake" as it were would be Hayter not voicing Solidus.
Not to say I don't agree that Solidus having his own voice is cooler, Hayter would sound silly talking to himself but just saying... it's the japanese version that set the precedent that the "Snake voice" is something all the clones except Liquid share and Hayter being Snake in MGS3 was just trying to be faithful to that. If Cygan or someone else who had never voiced Solid was Big Boss, that would have been less faithful to what they were trying to accomplish in the japanese version which was mirroring Naked Snake and Solid Snake as part of the theme of the game.

They can start a whole new story.

Haven't played it yet but my impression from the GB QL is that the amount of time it takes to play through does not equal the clear time you get at the end of the game. Sounds like Clear Time is just the gameplay time, not including cutscenes or retries.
How about 4 hours?
It really wouldn't be fair to condense the story down any further. All you need to know is about MGS3, and that should be experienced from start to finish, even if watched.
If not just play Ground Zeroes. It won't entirely make sense, but you'll have fun.

Attack to stomp on them once and wake them back up, then grab em again and shiv them.
I really don't think they can. The world of Metal Gear is too concentrated around the characters they have already explored in a game, other than The Boss.
And I can't even image what story you'd tell after MGS4.

Why kill them if they are asleep? They will not wake up unless they are discovered by another soldier.
You can kick them awake and immediately CQC hold and slit their throats, if you so please.

guys in regards to the shaky cam, you can turn it off in the options menu
Nah, I still got the side missions. There are four that unlock after you beat the story mission (Ground Zeroes), and another one when you collect 9 almost invisible patches scattered in the base.
I played one of the side missions btw, it was really lame. You had to spot a solider, interrogate, go get a cassette tape from a watchtower, and leave. It took me 15 minutes. Instead of this crap they should've created some new VR missions of sorts.
