Playing on ps4. Game is just incredible. Got through the main mission in ninety nine minutes. Found three tapes and three xof patches.
Phantom pain needs to be here soon because this is engine is extremely impressive n

Okay, this is really starting to get on my nerves. Using an iPhone to try and connect to the game, and I keep getting an error saying the accounts don't match. They most definitely should though, because I'm damn positive I'm signing into my PSN. :/
Has anyone else had this problem?

Beat the GZ mission with no kills and one alert. However it took several hours and many restarts/deaths. I wish they saved that mission for the end instead of making it the first mission.
I see many replays in my future. I guess if you run and gun, it's easy peasy. But sneaking all the way through without lethals is ball breaking hard. Stick ups broke PW, I hope thats not the case here as I didn't attempt one.

Just finished the main mission as well and loved it. Definitely a perfect setup for what we all know is coming next/eventually in the story.
Overall I am happy with ground zeroes, there is actually quite a bit of content, collecting the patches and tapes, and the side missions aren't phoned in which is cool. It has awoken a MGS pandora's box for me, I'll need to play through them all before Phantom Pain hits, I really wish that game wasn't so far away.

Paz and Chico are both central characters of PW. I highly recommend you play it if you don't know who they are. I'm personally not a fan of PW (really hated the boss fights), but it's worth checking out the story so you're up on what the fuck is going on.
Have you not played the past games in the series?

Can you play the side ops in the rain? Because it looks ten times better.

Just spent an hour coming the area all around, and can't find it. Can i only pick up one tape per mission and since i already found Tape 2, I couldn't find Tape 5?

EDIT: nvm I can't read
Of course I have, but I do have a guilty secret, I've never beaten MGS2...

Rented the PS3 version from Redbox for $2. Beat the main mission... Glad I didn't spend $30. I'm rusty as shit though, I definitely need to beat PW before 5 comes out.

To everyone saying the controls are awesome:
Last night I was watching the Quick Look, and Brad said that the game defaults to the "old school Metal Gear" controls. Which control scheme is everyone using? The shooter controls, or the default ones?
(I don't have the game yet. Just super curious)
Oh ok! You didn't say "again" so I assumed you jumped in at the middle.
Definitely finish MGS2! The ending is batshit insane, and totally worth experiencing.

Spent almost 2 hours looking for the XoF patches. Found 3 on my own, 2 from interrogating guards. Gave up after the 50th interrogation and just went online and found a guide. I woner how you are supposed to find them "naturally" in the game. As they are tiny as shit.

I'm talking about Chico's Tapes, not the XOF patches.
All I need now are Tapes 5 and 6! And, well..
Is there really a "secret tape" or something?

Just beat it took me an hour and 40 min, enjoyed the heck out of it, but it just made the wait for Phantom Pain so much worse.

Nice collection! I think I have everything ever released on an American Playstation console as well. Looks like you do too. Although I don't see the digital graphic novel or the Document of MGS2
Stupid Amazon fucked up my shipping so I haven't been able to play today.
I have to agree on the cock tease part, especially with the little Phantom Pain teaser/trailer that plays at the end. I hope Phantom Pain is no more than a year off.

I just finished the "game".
I kept hearing Snake speak and was like "Who the F is that?" when I kept hearing Keifer's voice. I still think of Hayter as the voice of Snake. Its ingrained in my system.
As for the "game" itself. I love the gameplay improvements, but the controls leave A LOT to be desired. Can someone please answer this: How do you switch to 1st person view with weapons? It mentions you can do this.
This thing was WAY too short IMO. They should've given us like 1/4 of MGSV, not like less than 1/10 of it!

I've always played this way on my first run through MGS games, but this game really does let you roll with the punches better than any game in the series.
That being said, I'm kind of unimpressed with what you get for 30 bucks, and the plot is a total mess. There are some cool moments, but it mostly feels like MGS's typical silliness with a particularly nasty edge.
i had a perfect streak the run going until a guard found a body as I was hauling Paz out of the cage. I booked it to a jeep and put her in the back, and made a daring escape past an APC and some armed guards. After driving to the beach, I had to bail out of the jeep and shoot some guards who were waiting for me. All this happened set to some particularly cool action set piece music. It just felt narratively correct, as opposed to the clumsy fighting of some of the other MGS games.

Seriously. Fucking Kojima teasing us. I'm playing side missions to get more of it.
Ending question
1. I wonder what happened to Chico? And 9 years? Chico must be pretty mature.
2. What the hell happened in post credit? Who's talking where?

Sutherland's voice is so awesome as Snake! I miss Hatter's voice a but though. I wish we get a Solid Snake cameo with his voice. I bet that's exactly what Kojima planned.
That Phantom Pain cocktease!

Just finished
Took about 2 hours factoring restarts. No kills, no alerts.
FUCKING INCREDIBLE
Finally after the cluster that was MGS4, proper Tactical Espionage Action has returned!
Gotta go to sleep now but can't wait to just play around in this brave new world for weeks to come (^___^)

Also relying on Peace Walker as canon for this VERY SERIOUS POLITICAL GAME is the height of Kojima's lunacy. The characters are so different to the last time we saw all of them, as is the tone in general.
Considering Paz was

and that's it.
The framing device of Nikola and Bart is great, although they really beat you over the head with why it's a cool framing device. Likewise, the
it's pretty hilarious that Paz essentially flat out says
repeatedly while you carry her out, with nary a question from Snake or Miller.
Also, (final cutscene spoilers)
Considering Paz was
essentially deus ex machina dressed up as pretty fan service in PW, seeing her treated like this in GZ just feels cruel, and not in a clever subversive way.
Miller gets like two minutes of screen time to be a raging asshole

tape puzzle could have been really cool if Miller didn't just tell you what to do over and over again.

HEY SNAKE I'M RIGGED TO BLOW THERE ARE BOMBS INSIDE OF ME

"There's another... in my..." In my what? I'm sure it was something grim and totes fucked up because this is a SERIOUS and GRIM game.

Considering the supposed size of TPP, I honestly believe this is gonna happen. Fuck, I sort believe that there will be a hidden remake of MG in there as well
Sutherland was fun I suppose but... Well I still don't understand why they needed him. Everything he delivered was something that Hayter could have with proper voice direction :/
I've probably played around six or seven hours so far, haven't touched the side ops, just playing the main mission. I'm at 12% or 13% completion wise. Playing with all the visual aides and reflex mode off. I found the perfect path to Chico, can get to him in less than three minutes. Getting to Paz's area is easy, but getting out is fucking hard.
Most devastating run was laying in the supply truck, getting inside the base, driving to Paz in that truck, firefights break out, I fight brutally with a shotgun, get Paz in the truck, start driving out of the base, and a APC shoots through the windshield and caps Paz in the head. Using the helipad outside that base to extract Paz is like a instant set piece meal. Helicopter comes in, music blaring, I get in a spare APC to destroy the other APC, jump out and grab Paz to escape in the helicopter, the helicopter getting pelted by bullets while I'm returning fire.
The replayability of Ground Zeroes comes from feeling like a legit hero or action movie star. The cool shit that happens seems effortless, stories get crafted from each playthrough. Ground Zeroes reminds me of Metal Gear Rising in some ways, what I was expecting and what I got were two totally different things, and I end up being really satisfied.

I am as well. I can't seem to get the iDroid app to work with the game either.
When I was carrying her she just said
"There's a..." "inside me..." I don't remember her saying bomb or bombs before she got on the helicopter.
Also, when she said
"There's another... in my..." I instantly assumed she was talking about her vagina or anus, as there were no cuts to her head and I'm pretty sure someone else mentioned a tape that alludes as much.
Took me about 2.5. It indeed does. LOL.
Anyways, I'm probably going to be replaying the game a lot, so I don't absolutely suck by the time The Phantom Pain comes out. But yeah, despite enjoying the gameplay, this game reminded me how much I love the cutscenes in MGS games (1,2,3,4, I love em all) and what gives me motivation to keep going when I have difficulty getting past certain sections.
Finished my third playthrough. God this game's amazingly fun.
Third playthrough - 28 minutes, no kills, 1 alert, 2 retries. A rank. Still gotta get that S. I need to find a good route for getting Paz to the chopper without killing anyone. Getting to the two of them is easy, but getting her out is difficult.
