My only regret is him throwing David Hayter under the bus.
Happened twice for me also

Those boots are hideous but I'm tempted to buy them just to flip to some MG nerd

anyone think Ocelot voice is a bit inconsistent? there are more than a few times I got confused when hearing the tapes dialog whether it's Miller or Ocelot, sometimes it's pretty obvious and he sound deeper, but other times he's a bit different and more similar to Miller. . at least Kiefer voice as snake kinda stand out so I always knew it's him talking.
I wish the subtitles for the cassette tapes show who's talking.

More like 500
Yeah I noticed the same.
£320?! A pity.
I will have the CE tomorrow and my friend in Japan has sent me the Japanese version so I can play with Ootsuka BUT I'm out of the country and returning only on Weds... And then moving house! So I won't be able to start playing until next week! :-(
Will therefore be mostly avoiding this thread until then but just wanted to thank Dawg for the OT and salute you all; it's finally here brothers!
Thanks Kojima and all the staff at Kojipro.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
If there's one complaint I have about the game so far, it's that a lot of the voices sound like they were recorded at different times, all separately. Like they were all stuck in a booth on different days and were told to read lines, job done. Sometime's Kaz sounds quite serious and Boss just sounds sad or no feeling whatsoever.

Those boots look cool for riding.
Few things on there I want. Wonder if those covers will work with 6s?

Yes, upload your savegame to the cloud, delete the game, re-install.
Then the counter will move when you get to the same ''installing game data'' screen again.

Yeah, is Troy Baker doing both? It is confusing for me as they have similar accents and indistinct inflections.
About 4 hours deep and I can't tell if I like this game or not. On the one hand, the gameplay is perfect, on the other it feels like a really fractured MGS experience.
Well there's a 5% chance that in 2.5 hours we hit the jackpot and the game unlocks in New Zealand because bullshit reasons and you can just VPN it. That's almost certainly not going to happen.
After that, what's more likely is that Konami manually unlocks it at Midnight New York time, aka a long fucking time away. Followed by the 10h DL of course

ooh update file for this and GZ. Does anyone know what they both do?
12am ET if Konami gets around to telling Valve as much.
It will probably unlock at 12am EST on September first. Not 1pm EST, but 12am EST.
If New Zealand time pans out it'll unlock at 8am EST today but it won't.

You can upload your GZ save file to PSN within the main menu so MGSV:TPP can access it.

Oh cool! I'll do that now.
I felt exactly the same at around that point, and a few hours later, but after a few more story missions I really started to enjoy the game a lot more.
5 actually for UK since summer time or whatever.

My digital copy is going to unlock in 6 hours or so I hope its good.
I hope its good.It's not ocelot it's miller that sounds inconsistent. Ocelot sounds the same in all tapes and is recognisable, he also has this confidence when he speaks that comes through unlike Miller who is more inquisitive and held back. But miller does ends up sounding like Ocelot every now and then.

Thanks guys
Yeah, I would quite like to know this. As a rule I have been steering clear of all the MGS threads for the past week, but now I have been playin since Saturday theres some ingame stuff I'd like to discuss, without going into mid/late game spoiler territory.
I am real good at using spoiler tags.
Promise.

So, impressions from about 10 hours of gameplay (6% completion I think...)
It's very fucking good.
I think I overhyped the intro for myself. It was really good, a great intro in terms of being a thriller. But it is more a crazy action intro than anything super meaningful (bar a couple of great highlights). It's more Terminator 2 than Inception. Really great though, look forward to playing it again on PC.
The full gameplay thouogh? Wow. I stealthed through the first two proper mission swiftly and unseen, basically skimming the surface. The level of detail and intricacy is amazing. Every area > every valley > every town > every street > every building > every object, from top to bottom it's all fully 3-dimensional and fully realised. The AI and your moveset can interact with all of it.
The Mother Base stuff is flawlessly built in over many hours, so you never feel overwhelmed. I was playing with a friend in the room, who had never played MGS and never seen any of the games. His mind was blown by all of it.
The graphics are wack diddly. The textures still aren't amazing for a lot of the gameworld, especially the ground in middle distance, but the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts, mainly thanks to the lighting. The lighting is unbelievable (bar occasional moments where dynamic shadows are missing).
Personally I'd prefer 30FPS with better simulation – but tbh once you get used to the simulation and normalise to it (like you do in any game), the gameplay is always what's most important. So sure enough the 60FPS gameplay is bloody glorious. I've only had 3-4 moments of slow down and funnily enough they were due to the HUD (the floating 'pick up item' box appearing and disappearing while 6 guys all walk about on-screen). In general gameplay there is no slowdown as far as I can tell.
The stealth is amazing. Best it's ever been.
- camo index simplified and purified- no on-screen arbitrary number, just your colour vs the environment
- light/dark makes an impact but again, no contrived on-screen indicator
- the verticality is unbelievable. I've had guards walk less than 5 feet past me without alert because I was flat to the ground (hold Stance button while prone) and just beneath them under the lip of a ridge
- CQC is great but I still don't love how Snake drags enemies. Makes sense, though
- cover is almost perfect, works all the time, except a certain variety of box (like pallets of boxes covered in dark tarpaulin. Snake does not like sticking to that)
- dynamic events like sandstorms are so fucking cool and totally random
FYI a guard seeing you is NOT instant alert. A guard seeing you and shouting alerts all guards in the vicinity. The vicinity might be a base of 50 guards. It might be a township of 7 guards. It might be a patrol of 2 guards. Vicinity does not mean 'the whole world'. I was spotted in the wilderness by two guards, and the alarm didn't go off. I tranq'd one, and the other crouched down, whipped out his radio, and began shouting for command. I scrambled and got a tranq on him, too, and that was it. No radio call. No alert. I interrogated them both and left them lying face down in a ditch.
But anyway. Story seems really good. Writing is really good. Potentially best in the series - certainly best in terms of pacing. Ocelot is great. Kaz is great. Everything is bloody grand. The side ops are fantastic. Playing Kids of America from your chopper blasting at guys is fantastic. Already had countless classic moments, like:
holding a guy in a choke hold while his teammate patrols 3 feet away, unaware
watching the chopper coming in for landing after you've trekked through a valley, over a mountain, into the middle of a town, and all the way out again, without being seen
popping on Ride of the Valkyries just for a laugh, then being spotted by some random douche and the music turning into a sort of majestic horse-back getaway.
Also the first time you see what happens to your horse when you leave by chopper
Also to those saying there's nothing to do on Mother Base... wat? Once you have a couple more platforms, try exploring a little. You can find side ops, really interesting conversations, diamonds... It's fucking awesome
It's very fucking good.

I suddenly got a 600 something MB update out of the blue on Xbox One while playing, prior to the 400 one for day 1. Weird. Updating now.
