I think I've seen in Greg Miller's let's play that you can knock now.

If I remember correct there is no wall knocking but in PP you can use your arm to make noise and attract guards towards you.
I'd suggest spoiler taging songs that are in the game
I personally don't consider them spoilers but I've definitely seen some people that do. That does sound pretty awesome though!Also, are there any missable achievements in the game?

No apology needed, considering you nailed the OT. Thanks for that, I should apologise for not wanting to be in here (yet)

You can. I captured the Quiet arriving on Mother Base cutscene no problem. Only thing is the capture will be at 30fps, not 60fps.

It was straight away for me, all of them, but then I left it really late to do the first one. It might depend on finishing a few other missions and side-ops first maybe?
Thanks for these. I knew most of them but not all.
Where exactly can you shower as Snake? I'm guessing it's at motherbase.
Also a quick tip is to use the ability when riding D-Horse to drop down onto the side of the saddle to conceal yourself from enemy sight (x button on PS4) . I've actually used this method to walk straight into a base and rescue a prisoner. D-Horse can be so OP.
mhmmm I still don't understand what I should do with cardbox on every base or what it's look like, do you have a screen or something ?

Starting MGSV now. Hopefully the initial part isn't too short, cause I'd like to make some good progress before I have to finish downloading the other 20GB.
Edit: Also, the servers are down. That sucks.

Somebody mentioned it on the last page. It's like GZ, you get more points for turning it off, and you still have a few seconds to deal with the eagle eyed bastard that spotted you. I guess it just doesn't automatically point you in their direction.
If it's any consolation, the game is so absolutely sodden, dripping with depth and details. If you went in fresh there is no way you could discover everything. probably 2/3rds of the stuff ITT is a surprise even for people who have been playing for 15 hours.
Two others a couple of pages back said they weren't using it and that it's great without. I might turn if off when I get back home from work.

I am seriously excited for this. Just one more day for me.
As far as AAA games go I think I enjoyed GTA V and The Last of Us more.
Then there's this.
Then there's games like Far Cry 4, Dying Light that I enjoyed less, but similarly to MGSV.
I think my honeymoon period with MGSV is truly over. The flaws are bubbling up to the surface of how I view it. It's a stellar game, but I feel conflicted regarding it. It feels like a good, non-MGS wearing the skin of Metal Gear Solid.

Yes, this. It's such an amazing, and oft-overlooked ability. Just watch out for when guys are becoming more in-line with DH straight ahead or straight behind, they will see Snake and start become alerted.
Sounds like you binged it quite a lot, Alienous? Would that have an impact?
In gameplay terms alone this is leagues above GTA V and even then a cut above The Last of Us. Those games are definitely more cohesive, though. I'm only 10 hours into TPP.

Anyone got a link to that MGS story recap that was done recently by a fan?
Bought the game and haven't played a MGS since the first one. Despite the fact that stealth games are my favorite genre, I never bothered diving in because the story was so nonsensical. Now in advance of playing the more open world version, I would at least like to have a sense of the characters.

I'm not using it and i'm mostly fine.

I assume it's a lot easier than in Ground Zeroes because soldiers actually have to radio in to sound an alert? So if you make a mistake, there's still a chance to recover.

Lots of questions about the carboard box posts. They're bright orange, square and look a bit like a loading trolley/pallet you get at warehouses. There's a sign next to each one with the address that you need to collect with O (PS4). There's usually one at every major base, often near the entrance/main gate, but I've seen some on smaller outposts as well. You can use them to fast-travel by sitting on one with the box, but you can't warp to one from the helicopter - it's only for when you're already on the map and need to get between points quickly. The catch is you need to be collecting those addresses in order to unlock the fast travel for later when/if you return.
Once you've seen one, you can't miss 'em, they're pretty distinctive.
(edit) I forgot to mention a version of them are on MB as well, next to the helipads. It's faster using them to get around MB, then the chopper.

Perhaps.
I don't know, it was a 10/10 up to a point, but I don't know where it flipped for me.
It sounds dramatic. It's still a 9+/10 game for me, but it was a 10 for probably the first 16 or so hours, somewhere around there.

Woke up this morning. Preloaded on PSN took about 30 minutes. I'm good to go for 12am CST. Very excited.
This must be the only game where the honeymoon period is over before the game is even officially released.

You're blowing my mind Som
The game's blowing my mind, Prax.
Seriously there's big shit the game doesn't tell you at all. One of those games that might actually be better with a Wiki open simultaneously. Especially on repeated playthroughs/retries.
Edit: Tobias Fünke would definitely lose his shit. I'd love to see a re-enactment of the lawyer-house-break-in with Venom Snake flopping about in an Afghan shack
No, they insta-alert any guards in the vicinity/base.
If you're in the wilderness, then yes, they do need to radio to a base. But if you're spotted in a base it's base-wide alert immediately.
I already like MGSV more than I ever liked GTA V... but then again, I haven't finished yet.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Patches usually drop the day before release, not sure what the patch fixes though
Yes, you still have a chance to recover if you know where is the dude that spotted you, the reflex mode just automaticaly pointed it out for you.
Any Screen ?
Thanks guys. Glad to hear you can do that now!
On another topic, just got a notice new GeForce drivers for MGS5 is out!
