Does anyone have a guide to collecting Chico's tapes? I am missing a couple, I think. There are only 7, right?

Yeah, they will wake up from a tranq. If you beat their ass with a 5 hit CQC combo, they will stay out longer than a tranq though.
Perfect Stealth (an MGS speed-runner) just posted a video where he completes the main mission in 11 minutes and 12 seconds 9:33 on Hard.

9:33 actually
Woops.
He was fine in SWTOR and Republique. I seriously don't know where all this "Hayter sucks" talk is coming from.
Well, I beat the main story in about 1 hour and 30 min. I thought I was playing the game really slow too! Thing is, it really was just
I tried to hit up side things in between (like I collected a couple tapes, and the patches). I didn't realize that the main mission was just those two objectives, so I figured I would collect the rest of them as I went in the game.
I'll still go back and play all the special ops now and collect everything. But yeah. I knew this was short going in. But it feels strange how short it actually is, once you play it. I personally loved the gameplay, graphics and everything about the presentation. Definitely has me hooked. But yeah, apart of me does wish they would have made this more like 8 hours.
"extract chico" "extract paz".

do none of the objects have physics anymore?
MGS4 onwards.
Maybe he just can't do the Snake voice anymore, but it hasn't been the same since 3 and that was the last time it sounded good. It got too gruff. Like, wannabe Steve Blum growly.
what do you mean? all the grass all the waving cloth.. its all physics. barrels , cars, cones.

Amazon is sold out of the PS4 version (but third party sellers have it). It must be selling well or it was under shipped.

Here's a video guide for the XOF badges, but I still can't find anything for the tapes. I know some are found in the side missions, but I am still missing a couple of them. Do I get them if I get the Depth and Pacifist and Reminiscence trophies? Anyone got all the tapes yet and can help us out?

OK, avoided spoilers for the last week, played it and beat the main mission in 81 mins. My feelings? Disappointment. Not with the length or the price. But it's just lacking... polish, interactivity, and even story. I was hoping it would be comparable to the tanker mission from MGS2, but judging from my playthrough of the main mission, it's not even close. I think just the bar from the tanker mission had more polish and attention to detail than this whole game. Maybe the side ops will fix that, but I dunno. Also, the story... we didn't even really get one more good detail than what has been seen already. I was thinking all of those people complaining about the length and price were just douchebags before, but now... sigh.
Hopefully, none of that is really a spoiler. Let me know.
Don't want to sound like a complainer, because I mean I really liked what was there, but I don't think it's up to the standards that MGS2 set 13 years ago.
I tried about 10 times to throw a sleeping guard off a cliff, but couldn't.

those sort of videos aren't the best to judge ai by, considering speed runs actively aim to fuck with it to the point of complete ineffectiveness

I was shooting the orange pilon things, not the cones i dont think, and they didnt move. If you ran into them they dont budge either. Havent tried it in a car. The wooden crates cant be destroyed either. Little things like this seem weird cause we've come to expect it, or at least I have. MGS2's big thing 15 years ago was they everything you shot had properties to it. Pipes, bags of four, ect. Remember you could even shoot the ketchup and each individual glass on the wall.
You just hit r2. I was throwing them off cliffs with running starts like crazy earlier. Fun stuff.OK, avoided spoilers for the last week, played it and beat the main mission in 81 mins. My feelings?

To some extent it does. Foliage is crap and the transparency/drawing issues regarding hair breaks the composition. It was built for PS3 and Xbox 360. But that's nitpicking. Besides that it looks phenomenal. The lighting, wet surfaces and the rain effects are awesome.
Wish they would have improved the poly count in the next-gen versions in the environment.
But yeah. Just finished the Ground Zeroes mission on hard with an A-ranking on PS3 and it looks stunning. The framerate though. Sniping is next to impossible thanks to that. That's when it drops. While zooming in with the binoculars or a scope. Can one hope for a patch fixing this?
PS4 version seems to be rock-solid 60 though. Envy you who have it.
Yeah, it's been really surprising to see that. I'll still take Hayter's Snake any day of the week.

Beat the main game in about 2 hours, mainly because I actually spent time and played it as a Metal Gear game, which it actually isn't.
What I mean is that there was always a sense of danger in the older games, you didn't know what lurked behind that wall or whatever so you had to be really cautious about your movements. Here, I can simply climb a watchtower, mark the enemies and be on my merry way and I didn't realize that until about the second half of the game. At the same time, I think it's great that there's less of a danger in the game and you're free to do whatever's possible but it makes for a less exciting game IMO. I'm sure if I somehow disable the marking option, the game will be radically harder and I'd actually have to play it like an actual Metal Gear game.
Honestly, I daresay the game feels like your typical Ubisoft open world game with MGS as the setting.
I'm also glad I ended up renting it, it's still a great game despite all my complaints but $30 just isn't worth the price. $20 for retail would've been perfect, shame it's only digital.

Credits just started rolling. I loved it personally, well worth the $30 for me. I plan on going for 100% next.
Dang, what's going on over at amazon..are you guys prime members too?

Just finished it, got a D lol cause I had no idea what I was doing and somehow got my prisoner ran over by a armored vehicle before getting killed myself at somepoint. Will def go back and get a better score. But man, I really do not like Kiefer doing the voice of Snake, just doesn't click for me. Doesn't help that I felt that Kiefer and the voice for Miller sounded really similar to me.
May go and trade this in after I'm done so I can recoup some of that cost though, maybe rebuy closer to Phantom Pain's lauch
I will say that I really did enjoy it, though its definitely different from the standard MGS games, could see the combat being really enjoyable in the the Phamtom Pain but I agree I wish they didnt give away like 1/2 of the cutscenes in previous trailers

So yea I was wrong. Certain objects do have physics. I just knocked over some yellow gas can in the refugee camp, maybe I havent played the game enough yet. Just certain ones like I mentioned dont, which seems a little out of place cause they should. Specifically the orange construction pilons which shouldnt be cemented to the ground.

This game is great! great graphics, gameplay, controls and stuff.
you don't get the immersion ruined. So good.
I'm most of the guards I come across but it's still good cause I'm still sneaking and stuff.
REally enjoying it.
MGSV proper is going to be amazing.

Is there supposed to be a phantom pain trailer once you beat the game? I heard people mention it.
