didn't anticipate how much I'd miss hayter. I'll get used to kiefer, but imo hayter was part of the series' presentational backbone.

 

[Raynes]

I found myself repeatedly asking "I wonder how Hayter Snake would sound saying those lines". I can imagine I'll be saying that like crazy in the Phantom Pain.

 

[Timodus]

I thought it was for getting S rank?

I didn't get all the questions right and I still

Spoiler

got the skin

I didn't get an S-rank, but got the questions right.

I disagree. This is like Ironside being replaced, but in reverse.

 

[Naked Snake]

Konami should offer Hayter's voice as premium DLC in TTP for the Hayter-fans.

I think the dialogue in the intro is also the worst, Kiefer sounds perfectly fine on the tapes. Fine, and angry. Big Boss seems angry, haha.

I don't know, there seems to be a bit more "nuance" [for lack of better term] in Kiefer's voice. On one of the tapes

Spoiler

you could hear him being pissed at Huey, which is kind of refreshing because Big Boss was never just noticably "angry" at someone in previous games

. But still, the game doesn't have nearly enough dialogue to properly judge.

that videogamer video is awful, and i say that as someone who usually likes their stuff.

They used to have Matt Lees, right?

You can feel his absence.

Hmmm...

I might be remembering it wrong.

 

[pixlexic]

Me too the whole game is on another level now. Big boss doesn't sound like someone reading from a TelePrompter

 

[psychotron]

Watched all the cutscenes from Peace Walker to refresh my memory before Ground Zeroes tonight. The ending of Peace Walker really makes me want a remake of the original game.

 

[bananafactory]

So... around how long would it be for somebody (namely me) who plays slowly? No spoilers, please, I just want to see if it is worth getting.

I took it pretty slow (in my opinion) and I would say main mission + cutscenes you're looking at 1.5 - 2 hours. But I headed straight for the objectives. If you decide to explore more, you could easily push 3-4.

 

[wanders]

Im on 360 and the game just loads Snake in the helicopter without any menus

the hell is going on anyone else have this problem

 

[bidguy]

why is every guard in that base alerted once a single one sees me ? was it like this in the previous games ?

 

[TriGen]

Yeah. Matt Lees was the reason I liked some of their videos.

 

[pixlexic]

Walkie talkies?

 

[Alienous]

No. It isn't in this either, from what I've seen. You can kill a guard before he starts a base-wide alert, but you have to be quick.

 

[SJRB]

...radios?

 

[benzy]

Hayter didn't even voice Big Boss in MGS4 so I don't see what the bid deal is.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Pretty much watched entire walkthrough on YouTube. Not counting the side ops, the game seems like 45 minutes long. Also, seems like Keifer barely speaks at all.

 

[Revolutionary]

The app works really well. Sprinting away to the extraction while calling the chopper at the same time on the app is a thing of beauty.

 

[Chamber]

Kiefer is just sort of there for me. I barely even notice him talking. Not sure if that's good or bad.

 

[Alienous]

It's better than ending every sentence with a guttural groan.

Anything is better than that.

And it isn't simply Kiefer's voice. It's definitely huskier.

 

[DieAntwoord]

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.

This was released around the time the original Deus Ex was released on PC. It contained the 5 sections of game, which amounted to almost 10 hours of gameplay. SO roughly it was 10 dollars per hour of gameplay. It was highly re-playable because of the insane amount of options of available to you to handle any situation (Like the hotel Hostage situation.) and then gave you the option to buy the entire game at a discounted rate.

Dead Rising Case Zero was 5 bucks.
GT Prolouge was 40 bucks but had online gameplay & was constantly updated with new cars and tweaks.

I'm still debating on buying it because I just don't know HOW I can because I've already better examples of so called "prologues" but I know I'll cave and get it today.

 

[BotoxAgent]

Hey guys, how does the CQC mechanics feel. I always felt that it was always a bit finicky, awkward, and could never respond the way I planned when I play 3 and 4.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

OK. So I have come to the conclusion that the map is a god damn pain to deal with.

Anyone?

I really wanna play and I cant seem to find this issue anywhere else

 

[Wishmaster92]

[BloodMoney]

Amazon pre-order just arrived at work. As expected, the reversable cover is tight.
Few more hours till I slide the disc in.

 

[wanders]

IT FINALLY WORKS WTF

 

[bananafactory]

No idea. Try deleting the game data and re-installing?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I really would have preferred that voice to Hayter or Kiefer. Was perfect in MGS4 and that first Peace Walker trailer. Was so disappointed when Hayter ended up being the voice in PW.

 

[Spaghetti]

they got jim from gamewank in exchange who doesn't really seem to be fitting in that easily yet.

i dunno, it's a flawed video down to the concept. it's a tad bandwagony too.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Yeah. Matt Lees was the reason I liked some of their videos.

What happened to Matt?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

This.

 

[Nuke Soda]

Damnit now the wait for Phantom Pain is a lot longer, they should have kept Ground Zeros with it as the prologue.

 

[MormaPope]

Reading that past pages, I'd rather see a new game starring The Boss and ending the main series there compared to remaking Metal Gear 1&2.

 

[giancarlo123x]

OK. So I have come to the conclusion that the map is a god damn pain to deal with.

I recommended the companion app. Just put that sucker on and there never was a reason to pause and bring up the menu. Everything is in front of you.

 

[Etnos]

I just watched Giantbomb Quick Look of this. And yep.. MGS still doing nothing for me, What´s the community reception so far?

Did they finish it?

 

[Loxley]

Just finished my first run-through (PS3 version on normal), as expected I managed B ranking (was stealthy but killed a lot of guards).

My knee jerk thoughts are that A) Keifer does a great job, B) I fucking love little details like guards physically pulling out their walkie talkies to report in.

 

[Etnos]

mmm not sure, they were mostly "sneaking" guys in a rainy camp talking about how cheesy/goofy MGS plot is.

I love how, when they call something in, you can hear it over the intercom on your radio but also "in real life" when you're standing close enough. De sound design is really well done.

Other details are lost, though. Where are the tranq darts I'm putting in these fools?

I wish I had a PS4 now.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Its downloading right now. Should be a fun night.

I hear a lot of talk here, but not too many opinions. Was this good? Do you like the changes?

 

[Yoda]

I'm sure I'll warm up the keifer but so far its the only thing I don't like about GZ.

Spoiler

Him yelling medic in the helicopter made me feel like it was a 24 video-game spin off.

 

[benzy]

I wish I had a PS4 now.

Too bad the DOF effect blurs out Snake when you do a close up zoom to his face to take screenshots, whereas you can see all of the fine facial details without blur on the ps3 version.

 

[brandonh83]

This was fantastic. I liked the story, the ending was very impactful and hard to watch, and the main mission took me around 2 hours because I was just having a lot of fun experimenting and whatnot.

 

[properpropaganda]

Went to walmart and was gonna buy this and ffx hd l.e. and the registers wouldn't ring the game up. Guess I'll try again friday when I get infamous.

Anything like this happen to anyone else?
