I suggest anyone who hasn't done so yet, do NOT connect online. Has done nothing but ruin my enjoyment of the single player with the invasion crap, interupting missions, nabbing soldiers and resources from me if I try go offline, and it doesn't save mission progress like it says it does.

Makes menus slow also.

Good riddance to Kojima with this BS.

Weird. Been online for a few hours and nothing to me. I want someone to invade me so I could test out how the serves is lol.

Can't you not create a FSO (or whatever its called base) and you don't have to worry about the invasions? I want to know how to make sure these fucking annoyances don't happen to me.

 

[Skux]

Do I get this for PS4 or PC?
I really don't want to deal with another Arkham Knight scenario.
So torn.

We already know about its PC performance. I went PC, it was $25NZD cheaper and runs great on my old HD 7770 (1080p high settings with 30fps lock, gets to 40-50 unlocked).

 

[Serpens007]

We are really going there? Stories have a very important place im gaming. I don't mind games that don't have a story, I just will never play them. That being said for a series that was one of the very first to focus on cinematic story telling you had better fucking believe the fans should expect them not to suddenly change direction after 20 years of focusing on the story.

I'm still learning about the story and lore, bit now I dont always need to do it as an spectator, puting the control aside. I love that now I know that if I only have an hour to play, I will indeed play rather than just watch.

Yeah I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see this.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

WE ARE NOT YIUR KIND OF PEOPLE

So hyped for this game and it'll be my first MGS not withstanding GZ. Gameplay is gonna be so good.

on steam it said prepurchase and receive:

Emblem "VENOM SNAKE"


is this for steam emblem or somehow we could use emblem on MGS?

ground zeroes was highly optimized IMO maxed out settings 1080p 60fps only drops were during auto saving

If you want to play online, go for PS4.
PC version comes later and will probably have cheaters on top of that.

If graphics are more important and you're playing mostly single player, PC should be the better choice.

Ill buy this on PC on Christmas as soon as it goes on sale. Will double dip on it. But for now, its PS4 for me since I pre ordered the Collectors Edition.

TPP allows you to customize your emblem, yes.

 

[FStop7]

I saw someone get startled by it in a video (but he took care of him pretty fast), don't know if it activates any alarm state if they see it.

It can, yes.

 

[Aces&Eights]

mine stills says 45 minutes...

it better...

I'm almost wanting that to happen lol. My ass needs to be in bed and if it does unlock in 34 min that ain't happening.

 

[Spazznid]

I'm ready.

That would add another three hours to our waiting time. My counter says 32 minutes left. I will rage like a big baby if I can't play this in half an hour.

 

[alba]

Waiting for the steam unlock. I haven't played PW, nor GZ. Going in straight after MGS4. Any tips?

If you need to take out an enemy, use a gun.

 

[BigTnaples]

I had a lot of fun in GZ, as short as it was. Is the stealth in PP worse than GZ?

It's just tend to think playing the final part of a 25 year old series just because of the launch hype a really poor choice. You won't appreciate much of what the game is trying to do. The ground Zeroes is a bad metric IMO because it is so brief, with so little reliance on story. MGS as a series is very storyline dependent.

I would liken it to watching Return of The King before watching the others because you like action. Or reading the last Song of Ice and Fire book, because you heard the previous 7 books were great. Or tuning in for the last episode of Breaking Bad or Lost, just because.


It just does not make sense. But for all I know you could be a gameplay first, cutscene skipping kind of player. In which case, have at it.


I think you are doing yourself and KojimaPro a disservice by not playing 1-4 first. Otherwise, what happens to Snake and company in MGSV will likely have little impact on you. Hell, all of MGS4 was pretty much fan service/references to past games. I can't imagine jumping in at the 11th hour.

Just my 2cents.

TLDR: Play MS1-4 first.

Be prepared to say "who the fuck is this?" and "when the fuck did that happen?" a bit.

Companion app is out for iOS too.

(PS4, PS3, XB1)
Nothing for PC
Xbox 360 needs the SmartGlass app for Second Screen stuff(If it's the same as in Ground Zeroes and they didn't change it.).

Not compatible with the Ipad4... What the FUCK Konami ??? (The GZ one was compatible)

Got it ;-)

Expected as much, hopefully it'll make sense somewhat.

EDIT:

if you got 3 hrs to spare:

I can watch this until the game unlocks

I don't see any options for it. If it was just some online base I wouldn't care, this is screwing with my single player motherbase, just had my R+D team go down a level (I slipped and fell from height while defending, it killed me so failed the defense).

My pre load said the right unlock time when I checked it earlier. That means I'm okay right guys?....Right?

So, can't you choose to play offline like in bloodborne?

 

[Spazznid]

I actually much prefer KB&M controls. I started with PS4 version, then moved onto Steam version with Xbone Controller, and then after watching some seriously good players play with KB&M I tried it and it's so much better IMO. The only downside in GZ is that when you're zoomed in, the sensitivity doesn't scale so well, but hopefully this is fixed in TPP.


Give it a try, also you can hold Ctrl and move really slowly rather than trying not to press the stick too far.

I'm excited, nervous, everything. I'll see you all on the beach.

The whole fob idea reeked of being a complete fucking ball-ache when they elaborated on the video. Get bothered during a mission, lose resources and personnel. So fun.

Not even sure when I can set one up. Just got to the second area

 

[Northeastmonk]

26 minutes away from a game that was years in the making. Wow, I can't believe we're finally here.

That moment when you get a game and you know you own it, but you feel like it's going away tomorrow if you don't play it. I get this feeling every now and then. This is sad that we're almost beyond V too in a way.

Are you shitting me... I'm going to rage if it's not playable at 9pm pt.

same i fucking went to sleep at 7 pm est just to get some shut eye before....

I had to reinstall ground zeroes to get the update to be able to upload the save file. It still said server error, but it let me upload still

Thanks a bunch. It worked. Managed to upload and download my save data, it gave me...

A golden bionic arm, SV-Sneaking Suit and PS1 Solid snake.

What does "some" mean in this case? It was literally advertised as 12EST/9PST, so... that really sucks!

Lol. That would have been fun to watch.

I thought people could only invade FOBs. If they can mess with yhe mother base itself, then it could get annoying.

Sounds like the invasions are a huge pain in the ass for a lot of people.

Are there any requirements for those or just a save file transfer is needed?

 

[Jashobeam]

my counter says 22 minutes, but on the preorder page it said 12 pst which is 3 hours from now... I hope I don't get shafted.

Yeah, I really hope they fixed the first person aiming.
