Can't stop playing this game, it's almost 3am...



The beauty...

same. just looked at the clock and realized how late it was.

I always thought that was the sign of a great game... when it manages to make you forget about time, or becoming tired late at night.

Can someone who's got Quiet help me out.

I'm fighting her but she's got two health bars, i've shot her but i don't want to kill her, do i need to tranq her?

Thanks.

I tranqed her with a Tranq sniper. I assume if you damage the red bar she dies.

I tried to do it with tranq gun and the mission went on for about an hour. I got her to the 75% but then she got me. It can be done I assume but its hard.

To unlock the tranq sniper you need to have a Lvl 15 R&D and Lvl 15 Medical. I dumped all my B and C soldiers from every other departments to get it done.

I'm playing it now but can anyone tell me if there is dynamic rain in the game?

Yes. It rained when I was at Motherbase. No rain in Afghanistan (or atleast I havent seen it).
 
Thank the merciful gods the OT is up, this side mission has been bugging me for days.

Side mission 152 R&D target practice, I keep getting 34/35 targets. HALP!!!

I just cleared it (and all Side Ops in the process). My tips:

Attempt it at night. Turn on Night Vision. Even with night vision on, a couple were not lit up, so take note. I wouldn't be surprised if you already managed to hit all of them over multiple attempts. It's just a case of giving yourself enough time to find them in a single go.

I almost died. Accidentally clicked on spoiler thread without realizing it, laid my eyes upon a post. Got tremendously lucky -- it was just talking about Big Boss smoking. Backed the fuck out.

I can't believe I survived.

So umm, the unlock time isn't even midnight now? wtf?

My steam is saying it unlocks in one day and 10 hours...

So not only do we not get a pre-load for the game but also have to wait until half of the day is gone to play :(.
 
Konami should release a MGS bundle down the road which contains 1,2,3,4,5,PW and MGS1TS, Would really like to have a collection like that for my ps4.

Don't listen what steam says, Konami confirmed a midnight ET unlock time for PC. The timer on the steam page counts to the standard steam store update time, but devs can unlock stuff sooner iirc.
 
Does anyone know what time the preload will go online for europe? It's 16 hours left for me and I still couldn't download the game.

I'm in Australia, received this email a few hours ago with this. PS4 version btw not steam.

i made the mistake of ordering from shopto when they had it listed as in stock on saturday, I didn't realise they don't ship on saturdays(?) and the bank holiday today probably means it won't be sent until tomorrow.

is there anywhere (UK) I could order it from now and have it delivered today if I choose super fast delivery??

Guy at my work ordered it from them and received it on Saturday.

Thanks.

I managed to get her second health bar down by about 80% by using the tranq. After that I dropped a supply drop on her and it took out the last 20%.

The key is spotting her early with your int-scope, and trying to get near her from one of here sides. Don't get too close though, because she will run away.

Quiet/Mother Base interaction spoilers..

Based Kojima <3

I see the webm I posted is getting around.

Some people have auto embed / play webm scripts so this will automatically start spoiling them.

Asked a mod to preemptively make a Quiet thread to prevent future derailing so let's see if that happens.

lol reminds me of recruiting Yuffie in FF7.

thanks for letting me know, i edited my post
i don't think a quiet thread is necessary, just let people know in the OP that webm's autoplay or something.

I have the CE for xbox one, the limited edition ps4 and the collectors guide book all paid for and ready to pick up in 15hrs (9am brisbane).

Thank you for everybody who gave spoiler free impressions however it seems this thread has taken a bit of a turn so I'm out for now. The wait is excruciating.

Edit: Lol thought I was in the impressions thread. There are so many mgs threads going it's hard to keep track.

Yeah, that really, really sucks, then. I'm staying with a friend for a couple of months. He has a PS4, and a copy en route. I was going to start a separate file on his console, because I had to send my PS4 in for repairs.

Hopefully it'll arrive back here sooner rather than later, then, is the best I can say if there's only one save file. They received it on the 25th. Sometime between the 4th and the 8th or so I'll have it back, it seems.

Ugh.

Damn.

You can't log into your account? Or create a new one? I don't see why you would need to play on the same account, unless your friend has some sort of rule about it.

Yea, but it was took too long to get her down to 75% the first time using the tranq gun. After I died, I just did not wanted to waste another hour on it.

Plus the Tranq Sniper is Amazing!. It gets really helpful to clear small check posts. I just go up. Analyze their skills. Snipe them then fulton the C and above soldiers. So its great to have it apart from the boss.

You're a genius and I'm a moron. I thank you sincerely. I'd completely forgotten this very basic strategy. I can sleep easy tonight. <3

Patch 1.01 is now live on PS4.

Just booted GZ up to use the upload save feature and thought i'd have a quick look at the game for old time sake 8). The visual upgrade to the Fox engine between this and PP is even more impressive than i first thought! I'd love a tech article comparing the 2! It's really quite something.
 

Surface of Me

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Spoilers concerning boss characters:

After reading about the Skulls in a review(cant remember where I read it) I was worried the difficulty spike in those encounters would be too much. After seeing a stream of a GAFer play them where they had snipers my fears were alleviated. I think Ill probably use D-Walker against them. Question though, do they always use sniper rifles? Please dont respond with anything more than a yes or no.

I envy all those who are already playing the game. The shop I ordered it from still hasn't got the Xbox One CEs and it's currently uncertain if I'm getting hold of the game on release day. -_-

Anyway, have fun guys!

Ending was just ruined for me by a YouTube comment. It was just a fuckin music video as well, not even MG related.

Big clue about Hospital was spoilt by fricken Polygon comments. Neogaf has been quite good tbh, to the point where people are being too dickish about that guy who posted the
birthday cake

I'm not too bothered about spoilers really. Same thing happened for me with Game of Thrones. Meh. Back to fultoning stuff.

Ouch, fucking hate when that happens. I had the ending of Heavy Rain ruined on me by some geebag on a random YouTube page.
