Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes |OT| Kaz, I'm already a demo

I just S Ranked the main mission on Hard in just under 30 minutes on my first try, was surprisingly easy - all things considered. Really, once you begin to familiarize yourself with the map and guard placements, moving around the map is a much more confident experience.
Also, going into the music section on the iDroid and making it so the helicopter blasts Flight of the Valkyries when it descends is as awesome as I hoped it would be.

Anyone have a link to a video of all cassette recordings? Don't feel like finding them all.
Loving it so far, took be a little over two hours to finish the main mission, a lot of that was exploring/messing around.
I'll be surprised if he isn't in The Phantom Pain to be honest.

Exactly. This is a publicity stunt.

teamcg back in force, I see.
Exactly, the only reason they'd go out of their way to do something so unnecessary like that is to make us feel like something is not right.

Wow! I expected harsh remarks or to be ignored. Didn't know some were in the same camp as me.
Haha, that's what it feels like. Don't let what you want to see clout your judgement.
Still proudly on TeamCG 
I found this song to generate the most feels when it comes to helicopter extractions:

Solid Snake will be about 12 years old in The Phantom Pain. Would be funny to see the little kid have "the voice" down already.

Just completed the main story for the first time
Omfg, Kojima still got it! Mgs is one of my fav games ever but mgs4 was quite a letdown
Mgs5 is now, easily, my most anticipated game
Everything about the game just feels great, love the controls and gameplay systems
Just amazing

Remember that overlong epilogue tucked away in MGS4?
SS doesnt necessarily have to show up during the immediate events of TPP, ya know
If you like stealth games that involve manipulating AI or having to find/create the most efficient paths, Ground Zeroes will be for you. Getting discovered in Ground Zeroes turns the game into a really well done action game, set piece moments get created from how you play the game. If you like challenging stealth games, turn off visual aides that show where damage comes from, where you're being detected. And turn off reflex mode as it can break the game difficulty wise at times.
With that acquired throat cancer he developed in the later games, I'm guessing that he started smoking in his younger years.
Hayter as a 12 year old Solid is a lock.
jk
Haha, I meant at the end or an after credits scene. I think it's likely it'll lead into Metal Gear 1.

Love me some kojima realtime cutscenes. But yeah also, before you trigger the cutscene where you rescue chico from the cell, if you have the spotlight on him, it will move when you trigger it.

The map is completely drilled into my head at this point.
Very used to the controls now.
One interesting nuance I found is that you're a little "invisible" when finding cover behind a wall, even if what you're finding cover against has gaps that any normal person would be able to see you through.
I really like the weapon sway and bullet drop on the tranquilizer. It seems like I make the headshots I go for but have to shoot multiple times to land hits at long distances. The assault rifle is maybe a little bit too accurate but whatevs. The sniper rifle is hilarious to use combined with the snap lock-on targetting and infinite sprint. On Normal you can take out the whole base with that shit.

I am so hyped for MGO at least after this.
Though cardboard boxes have to be in that.

Love this shot. Wish it wasn't so compressed.

I could be wrong, but in fiction, don't clones seem to rapidly age to their adult stage? Horrible movie, but like when Ripley was cloned in Alien Resurrection.
Doesn't mean there can't be a post credit scene that leads to MG1 remake or something.
Play MGS2 first (and MGS1 before that if you haven't already)

I wonder if the japanese version reuses voice clips from the first game seeing as they don't have the awkwardness of the recast to deal with like in English.

So kind of like Bruno the Kid where Bruce Willis voices a 10 year old kid without trying to sound like a kid?

Having the ending jump forward to somewhere near the beginning of MG1 would be ideal seeing as making another Big Boss game to fill in the 11 year gap after Phantom Pain would be kind of overkill. But then leaving it unaddressed would be even worse.

Play MGS 1 first if possible (if you can't just read a detailed plot summary, that's what I had to do unfortunately. But you need to know the events of MGS1 for MGS2 to make sense) and then start with MGS2.
With MGS2 I would highly recommend starting with some of the VR Missions so you get used to the controls and gameplay, it helps a lot.
Thanks for this, was really helpful.

Play the VR missions in MGS2 before playing the main game. At least do the Sneaking levels. You probably won't enjoy the story your first time through, for most it takes repeated playthroughs and prior knowledge of the first MGS game to really appreciate it. I suggest you play MGS2 on Normal and MGS3 on Hard.

There's obviously no universal standard. But, in the Metal Gear fiction the clones are designed to age quickly so that if they were ever found out and captured the enemy wouldn't have much time to study them.
Love this shot. Wish it wasn't so compressed.
Is this a PS4 shot? It looks like it has the same issue with AF like Thief and Strider.
but doesn't he age quickly? maybe they'll get around the 12 yr old thing with his quickened aging
FUUUUUUUU--
A rank and ONE alert because I 180'd and got caught by the spotlight I juked thinking the APC on my main escape route with Paz wouldn't have moved. 38 mins of knocking guards out with tranqs, saving the hostages in Chico's group AND Chico, knocking lights out on the route I was gonna take with Paz AND no Reflex taking/alerts and kills... for nothing.

Came into this on a media blackout. Holy shit was that fantastic. The new animations, the new cover system, the way the AI reacts realistically to spotting you, the amazing open level, the music, the god damn graphics. Dat voice though, I had no idea who Kaz was talking to for a few seconds. Not sure if it will grow on me.
Kojima productions still got it, as if any doubted since Peace Walker was fucking sex.

Accelerated aging doesn't have to kick in so early in his life.
I don't have a PlayStation console so I'm just going to have to read a summary of MGS1 unfortunately. I will do the VR missions for MGS2 first though since I've never played a proper stealth game like this before. Thanks for the tips guys. Looking forward to finally discovering why MGS is as big as it is.
Why would Kojima lie?
How bad is the texture quality during the daytime missions for PS4 and Xbox One? The textures in the PS3 version is so bad that I am now considering the PS4 version of TPP than sticking to the PS3 version still. Also, is there anisotropic filtering for the PS4 and Xbox One version?
Er-MGS is on the PSN store...?
If you have a PS3 you can play 1-"5"/PW easily right now.
Unless by "Playstation" you mean no 3.

One quick question:
(edit) spoiler'd just in case.
I collected all the XOF badges and quit to main menu but Deja Vu still hasn't unlocked. Do I have to finish a mission? :/
