Huh I thought someone said that's what it was gonna be
OP fucked up

The only person that gets to say what the title is going to be is the OP.

And mods, of course.

Like this thread isn't going to go to OT2 and beyond and have more chances at titles, anyway.

It's exactly how I feel. I have no patients scheduled for Monday so I get the day off. Which is why I was ecstatic about a possible early unlock. Tuesday I got patients all god damn day and it's gonna be torture knowing I can't play ma' video games.
Man, we had Hurricane Erika coming my way and turned out to be drizzles.

You had one fucking job Erika.

The game is absolutely wonderful.

Just wonderful.

18 hours played, 13% completed. Feel like I'm honestly only just getting started.

If you can upload saves now and patches for both games are up, does someone want to try the save uploading and see for sure what the GZ save unlocks? Even though the guide sort of says.
 
I've never played a Metal Gear before and got Ground Zeroes through xbl gold for free but have not played yet.... Is it worth going into this series with no knowledge of this series at all?

Wasn't going to buy it right away because ive spent so much in the past few weeks and have so many games in my backlog but fuck it, Amazon'd overnight.
 
Thought we all collectively agreed a while ago that the OT title should be Please be Quiet, Chico. Anyway, great OT and I hope to get to this game soon.

Is the combat in this game good? I stopped playing the Witcher because I couldn't stand the gameplay.
Play Ground Zeroes and check out the gameplay. I think this is the best that Metal Gear has ever played.... By far.

If you like Splinter Cell Blacklist, I imagine you would like this.

Highly doubtful given the franchise has been one of the few that has been regarded for its convoluted storytelling. It would be best for find a copy of the Legacy Collection for the PS3 which bundles every previous installment into a single set. Play through everything in release order to appreciate the evolution in game-play and accessibility in comprehending the twists and turns in the narrative.

Nah, if you liked Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, this would be liked.

I don't think I've had this much fun in a third-person stealth game since Chaos Theory.

I have no Interest/time to do that but thanks. I May just buy this game and be confused as hell.

Anyone playing the Xbox One version now?

Not right now but, in general yes, that's the version I'm playing.

There's no specific performance issues to note, I don't think. The Fox Engine appears to be voodoo regardless of platform. The Xbox One version looks and plays fantastic as far as I can tell.

Chaos Theory is amazing, but I think it's much more viable to be lethal in MGSV. In Chaos Theory if you got caught and the jig was up, you might as well just restart cause you don' fucked up.

In MGSV, you can easily shoot your way out of a confrontation and the game doesn't severely penalize you for it. That's why I mentioned Blacklist.
 
This is the best game I've ever played

Poor everything else

Well, that was the last thing I needed to increase hype to almost erotic levels. Don't take it personal, Nemesis.

Such an exquisite production...can't wait to see it for myself.

Great OT, btw, incredible job.
 
It isn't simple just because it's less fucked than MGS2.

What wasn't simple about the MGS3 story lol? MGS2(especially the ending) messed up my head as a teen (in a good way). We would have to wait 7 years for a sequel to find out what happened, and by the time everyone completed MGS4 and went back to MGS2, they saw how supreme the game was and still is(well, some of us...)

Speaking of download sizes, thought I had the wrong download for TPP at 11gb on PS3. So small.
 
Just opened the OT and instantly set the header as my new wallpaper. Great job Dawg.

Would have preferred 'A Hideo Kojima Game' though.
