But then you get a moment of quiet introspective after finding out a an important bit of story, a moment that lasts a natural amount of time based on where you are physically and mentally.

More proof that MGS belongs on Playstation, I see...

It syncs with 360 and Xbox One as well.
Really? The reviews seem to suggest you get them over time (similar to Peace Walker), not that they are scattered and have to be found. I prefer this system over the usual codec wank or jarring hard cuts into cutscenes with a preamble to tell you "hey hey hey, here comes the exposition". In an open world game with a seemingly almost silent protagonist and freedom to do the missions you want when you want, going through some of the exposition at your own pace seems like a good idea
The game is massive tho. Its not like the past. People are saying they played MGSV for over 50 hours and only have like 50% completion rate. You don't think Kojima gonna make 20 hours of cutscenes? Tapes and logs will contain the majority of the game's dialogue just like codec convos contained in the past games. Its the same thing just now its more convenient as you can listen to that stuff while playing instead of pausing.

It irks me that my Binary Domain review is not getting uploaded to Steam. Even sent a Support Ticket to solve this. 5100 characters but I saw similar length reviews, so that can't be the problem.

All MGS stories are some degree of gibberish that require reading a wiki to fill in blanks so I think the same solution will work just fine for me here.

Hmmm, but probably only in mono at 340p.

Don't you have access to Camp Omega as well if you transfer your Ground Zero save?
Supposedly, Kojima mentioned it several times. You'd have access to Camp Omega and a few other missions.
Hope it didn't get cut.

Beat The Four Kings in Dark Souls. Something about not being able to see shit that made the fight really uneasy. Took me twice because I didn't realize I was trying to melee too far away.
Also....58 hours into Dark Souls and I finally have my DSFix settings looking really good.
Truth Bombs.

well at least MGS V's maps aren't always islands, like how does Los Santos have so many cars if it's an island

Shame I got around playing Space Marine so late today. Was a very fun 1 hour. The ultra-hammer is definitely something.
I meant more now, before release. It'll obviously drop after, always does. I'm in the same position as you. < $25 is ideal, less being an immediate bite on it.
Honestly I'm just going to wait until I have the game in my hands. I could see it going either way for me with the tapes. I'm not expecting a cinematic thrill ride like the previous games were. This is going to be a different kind of experience, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

God fucking dammit >_<
Cassette tapes is not storytelling, that's grumpier card bullshit.
It's not storytelling, it's the game giving you a book to read while its trying to do something else.
Game will be great but I was afraid of this :/

If the game's like what's described (story's all audiotapes, most like Peacewalker and not like MGS 4), I have no problem waiting until the holidays/later. Hope there's some kind of Bernardo-type discount by Christmas-time on PC.
Audiotapes are one step above Destiny-type bullshit. I want the story integrated in and not have vital parts missable.

Power Within for the win. They won't know what hit them.

I just run in and melee the Four Kings to death. Don't bother blocking, heal when necessary. Works every time for me.
I had zero trouble and got it on the first try =/
Just go full offense; they are pretty squishy individually as opposed to almost every other boss.

I went with melee/sorc and it worked pretty great once I knew what I was doing. Crystal Homing Soulmass OP.
...Now I need to figure out why I can't make any Occult weapons and head to the Crypts.

Good I don't own this Rockstar filth. (Neither on PC, next-gen or stone age-gen.)

Once I got Quelaag's Furysword, I never touched another weapon. Definitely farmed rats more than fighting any other enemy in the game because of it, though.

Now that Velocity 2x is on Steam, I can vent about it in here.
Fuck maps 42 and 47.
Especially 47.
That is all.

If you're not dodging than you are likely massively over leveled.
My advice is to go purely two handed, but Power Within and lighting or fire buffs help. Time their attacks to dodge behind them when they are striking and roll away when they are going to explode.

It is generally easiest to have their attacks miss if you are hugging them. They kinda fail at tracking and lining their swipes up at that range.
Oh yeah, I made that near the end. Really nice sword.

All you really need to do is throw on some really heavy armor so you can take some damage and tank the shit out of them.
Last time I played through, I was not tanking at all normally, playing my default dodge roll glass cannon type agility build and when I hit the four kings, I threw on the stone armor set and tanked them into oblivion.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Oh, I normally roll with a shield too, to protect from bullshit hits and allow me to shift positions and patterns.
The DLC bosses were a kick in the nuts tho... Manus was the bane of my existence for a good while.
Bloodborne with the lack of shields has been fun, but also an adjustment at the same time.

Speaking of PS4 type stuff -- I had to fix one of the shoulder buttons in my original DS4... I never used the touchpad much, especially since I relied on the Scarlet Crush Productions drivers/solution for DS3 & DS4 for the longest time... I just figured I hadn't configured something correctly with DS4windows... but when I used my dedicated PS4 DS4 as a control experiment, it works fine with DS4Windows. This leads me to believe something's wrong with my touchpad in the original DS4 used with PC... but I've taken it apart again and checked the ribbon cable and it seems fine -- is there any way this might NOT be just "defective hardware" now?

DLC bosses are pretty good practice for rolling/dodging since they are pretty aggressive.
Manus sucks.

I took out Khalameet without taking damage, I think... I had to figure a few things out and it took a ton of tries, but he was nothing compared to Manus -- Manus was a dick before he got his health down to trigger the second phase with the dark magic attacks... learning that timing and how to deal with those via pendant usage... my word.
So if anyone was looking forward to the FOB system in MGSV, here's another reason to wait for a sale if you didn't get a free copy from Nvidia.

Good thing i had you and Sif to help me out, lol. ;-;
No damage?
It doesn't seem they are restricted to microtransactions only. From the other thread:

The only only portion of MGS that I care about is MGO -- which I don't even know if that's still a thing or not... but I hope it is.
