9 hours until PC or PS4 launch? Still 22 hours on the countdown on Steam..

Broken record here.

Steam unlock timers are extremely unreliable. They default to 10 am pacific and publishers forget they have to set that to their particular unlock time.

This thread has progressed quickly.

I read that the steam version should have unlocked at 1pm UK time but i still don't get the option to install.

How are all you guys playing on steam already?

That was a mistake by a Community Manager on twitter a while ago it seems. Fingers crossed it unlocks at 5am UK Time tomorrow, but we shall see. Steam countdown is still saying tomorrow evening for unlock.

Either way, I will be up at stupid oclock tomorrow morning to check!

I agree. Even more in games with so freedom and options like this one, if I see a possibility of doing X, I want to be able to save the game in that spot and go for it, I want to experiment. Sparse checkpoints going against that experimentation.

Ye, I don't understand why games don't just let you save anywhere, like in the TW3.
 
Does anybody else who has played the game find the intro credits for every mission extremely annoying? They spoil characters and even boss fights, i wish there was an option to disable them : /

I look away from the screen during the intro to not spoil me anything : /

I'm praying for a PC mod.

Don't TV shows (Kojima's "target" for this release) do similar?

To scratch the itch I've been replaying the story missions in Peace Walker using an old save... I stopped playing right after I finished the story...

I'm surprised how much new content I'm unlocking just by replaying those old missions! Even new story missions!!

I'll definitely continue playing this even after I start PP.

Saw someone else saying that the Ps4 unlocks in a couple of hours. Can anyone else confirm it? I'm holding my finger over the pre-order right now since I can't wait to collect my physical tomorrow, but it would be stupid to do if it unlocks later...

Somewhat disappointed the game is less about story, but at the same time I'm just as big of a fan of great stealth games. Can't wait for tomorrow.

5am is such a bloody awkward time.

I dont mind the time really, it is a shame its not a game we can pre-load on Steam though. I would be hyped to get up super early to play this game, but Im not so excited to be up super early to check it Steam has unlocked it for download!

Still it will cool to have it download whilst Im at work and know i have it waiting. Fingers crossed its a good PC port.

If they had decided on that time already, why didn't they contact Valve about updating the timer.. Seems like such a simple thing to do that would make all of this way less confusing and they wouldn't need to answer this question over and over.
 
Ahh ok. Then you must complete the whole group to advance the story?

Thanks, btw.

Yeah usually when you unlock a group of three you know those won't really have any significant story moment, after those you unlock one mission that advanced the story.

But each mission is something new, they take place in new bases and have changing objectives and many introduce new enemy types and concepts. It's super well paced in terms of gameplay. It's just really lacking story.

I mean I can get up early its not a problem but to do it and then wait an hour or two to download is a bit of a pain. Then I would have to wait for my brother to decide to wake up and he's not exactly an early riser, its going to be a long night/morning...
 
So the PC version now has HBAO+ apparently:


Taken from Nvidiais Driver notes.
Awesome news.
Great news at least! HBAO+ is awesome!

So I was on the motherbase menus doing stuff when suddenly the music kept going but the image froze with small violet squares on the screen and the PS4 went totally unresponsive I had to pull the cord :S

Overheating?

Sounds like it to me. Whenever I've had a GPU start to go bad, or with an unstable overclock, it's pretty much those exact symptoms. Be sure to clean your PS4 out if you haven't and obviously keep it well ventilated.
 
Some of the impressions here are affirming my fears that the game lacks the story pacing and immersion I was hoping for. After playing GZ a few times there are only so many times I want to do random missions on military bases I have visited before that don't tie into the story.

It is a chore, Ill say that. I am such a huge fan of everything Metal Gear. This game is not what I am used to exposition wise. Its just too thin. Im sorry.

I think.

2) MGS3
3) MGS 2
4) MGS 4
5) MGS 5

So I preordered from Best Buy in the US. I got an email saying it will be ready tomorrow, but when I check the actual order status on the website it says "Ready for Pick Up". Do you think it is worth a trip over to the store or will I be turned away by the PoS system?

Yeah, I'm a weak minded individual. I got it and it currently says 2:53 min left. HYPE OVERLOAD!!!!11!

Now for the question if I still should get the physical copy... The revolver do sound nice and I got all other games in physical form.
