So does getting an S rank only require 0 alerts and 0 kills?
Or does completion time play a role in it?
Edit: by the way, this game sounds amazing on the Sony Wireless Gold Headset. It's not as awesome as Battlefield 4, but it's definitely better than Killzone. So good

It's a mixture of both. In fact, you can get some kills, some checkpoints usage and still get an S-Rank.
Looks like it might be, at least for the moment. It only happened in the last couple of weeks.
Note: This doesn't mean go save all the hostages for a huge bonus and a guarantee that you'll get an S-rank. But the hostage saving does give you a bonus along with no reflex, no alert/kills, etc. that time and retries eat into along with alerts.

No, but a new uzi with an already mounted one. The silenced rifle too.
Yes, the writing has had and will continue to have silly moments. From what I see, most of the criticism of Hayter comes from MGS4/PW and both games are heavily criticized.
What do I want? Either Hayter at the top of his game, which I believe can be accomplished, or someone who actually sounds like they could be Big Boss. Kiefer doesn't seem like he is trying. Kiefer makes Big Boss sound human, yes, but like a human who is just reading lines. Everyone else is playing a character in Metal Gear Solid, and Big Boss just seems off from everyone else. Kaz/Huey just sound ridiculous when you put them next to Kiefer. Plus now we have three very different voice actors for Big Boss.

Still thoroughly enjoying it. Been playing the Ground Zeroes mission for about 2.5 hours now, just rescueing prisoners, interrogating enemies to find tape locations, stuff like that. Skipped all the optional stuff when I first played it yesterday, but taking my sweet time this run.
Awesome game. Still frequently get spotted, I'm still not used to the large distance enemies can spot you but fortunately the game is very lenient in terms of dodging/taking cover when spotted before an enemy goes in alert mode. It's really a whole new level of stealth.

I know that the locations of enemy is no predictable, though their starting mission point is always the same.
Are the weapons for every mission in different locations? For example, Mission A: room with C4 may have something else in Mission B? I'm wondering because I'll start remembering where everything is to try and improve my runtime.

And I eventually figured out that you can un-equip suppressors by holding the weapon select window open and pressing Square. And you can switch off flashlights either by clicking right on the d-pad, or holding the weapon select window open and pressing O.

sooo CQC takes into account your environment...I was beating the shit out of a guy and all of a sudden Big Boss sparta kicks him into the concrete road block behind him as a finisher. holy shit 
The POWs being rescued gives a 20,000 point boost, not getting any alerts gives a 5-6 thousand point boost. One of my runs I got 53,000 points, got a A ranking. My S rank run was 58,000 points. I think the ranks are strictly determined by the point value.
The first two Metal Gears come with the Subsistence version of MGS3. The HD collection version of MGS3 has Metal Gear 1&2. They aren't that essential, but they're neat games to try or to play through. If you've never played MGS1, that's worth downloading or buying outright. MGS4 in the legacy edition I believe is the trophy version, forgot if that was patched in or its on disc only.
The Legacy Edition is neat if you want every mainline Metal Gear in one whole package, but you might be able to save money if you purchase the HD collection and then download MGS1 on PSN. HD collection is around $30 in most places/online and MGS1 is a $10 download. MGS1 in the legacy edition is a download code anyway.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Damn, I almost bought that about a year ago.
Well, I'm looking more for getting the Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. But, only if it includes the anime portraits like the one of Holly below.
If it's the other, more "realistic" ugly portraits, I'll pass.

The version you want is in the HD version of MGS3 and Subsistence.

So that means it's available in the MGS HD Collection for PS3/360? If so, this is on my wish list.

I just checked, it's actually still available on Best Buy's website for $49.99, so that's an option.

This game would be worth 60 if there was a mission creator that you can share with people. I can only imagine.
Yikes, that was short.
It was impressive from a technical standpoint. I'm really glad they finally ditched Hayter for an actor that doesn't come across as goofy.
It seems more..."grounded" than MGS2, which I liked a great deal. Mild absurdity is fine.
Maybe I should finally play the fourth game? I really have no idea why I'm playing as Big Boss again.

Press right on the d-pad, select empty magazines with the right analog stick to equip them. Aim with L2 and throw with R2 [or whatever the draw weapon and fire weapon buttons are on your setup].
Yes.
If you go for The Legacy boxset, the HD collection is packed in with everything else.

What the hell is the secret objective for in the side op where you have to find the tape of the dude.
or co-op missions. Imagine playing with a friend, and then splitting up once inside the camp. One can create a distraction while the other kills the target. Kojima pls

You should play Peace Walker. It's really good.
And I vastly prefer PW as a lead in to MG1.

Is there a way to change the time of day or anything? Wasn't sure if that was something available in GZ.

My god phantom pain will be game of forever if they bring back co-op. It made peace walker twice as fun. With the way the game is set up now it would be amazing with a situation like you just used as example.

Man the side-ops are better than the main mission, kinda funny because I said I was never going to mess with that crap.
Ran Deja Vu 5 times already alone.
If Kojima just fixed the voice I would be so damn hyped for TPP now.

just picked this up for ps4. traded in dead rising 3 for this and gamestop ended up owing me 71 cents. i paid nothing haha. won't be able to get to it for a bit. i hope i enjoy it. i'm not the biggest metal gear fan.
That's for Phantom Pain.

I vastly preferred Miller, by the way. Far more interesting character than BB.
I remember buying it for another GAFer who wanted the bundle overseas. I bought a ton of PSPs, never kept one by the time that rolled around.
So, I skipped PSP MGS variants and MGS4.
Game Boy Color MGS is still GOAT.

Me to. The phantom pain red band trailer shows a completely different side of him compared to ground zeroes. He is pissed.

This must be how he loses the Peace (The "Kazuhira") and becomes the Master Miller that we... DON'T know and only think we know. >_>
Damn, I thought I had a point there. But damn, can't wait for the turn.
