Q&A from the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain event at Konami LA
Right now, crimsonfox (who has been contributing to this website as a moderator) is at the Konami studio in Los Angeles on behalf of Metal Gear Informer, getting his hands on the full version (missing only the ending) of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
During the four day event, which started on the 18th of August, he will be playing the game extensively.
A 1-hour Twitter Q&A session allowed him to share some of his experiences and answer some questions. Check out all his replies below.
Alright comrades, I been here at Konami L.A. since yesterday, I'm 8 hours and obviously can only reveal certain aspects. Any questions?

— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @SUGOI_Smooth as someone who cringed at the fiddle line I will say Kaz's VO in particular… is intense

A: @Free7hinker @Nyxus_MGS @MetalGearClube Nothing I have played has had this much depth. It's daunting…semi insane…
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @LeoNevess everything is optional. But what kind of soldier leaves business unfinished?
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @Scrufferrs gameplay demos show everything fully upgraded. Nothing is given to you
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @B1g_Boss88 everything's betta, with a little bit of feta
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015

A: @Scrufferrs you feel like you have a lot, but there's also a alot to purchase/develop
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @SaladinBigBoss1 Bahahahaha…..hahahabaha
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @redgotstolen compared to other games, it's very very good at keeping you on your toes. And outposts, even forts are varied enough
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @onekanaka @Druffmaul NO DETAILS!
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @Eg3Erdogdu took me a good little chunk of time. I'm not sure if I can say exactly, but… It's defiantly worth taking your time
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @JSkautrup everything looks amazing, I'm on PS4 primarily but the PC version must me l be nuts
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @Camstwita tons of different environments. There's a nice range of difficulties
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @caspermorris13 It's a game for fans for sure. Enough to keep new players invested as well
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @BeaM_Official I smiled at this question… He handles well, shooting from the saddle feels good
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @Wanders_Wonders cinematography by Kojima is something to phone home about in TPP for sure. I've replayed certain parts just to see again
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @fynn_dl The rules of physics still apply to Big Boss
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
A: @MrSirShpee If there was an apparatus holding it up. It just got Fullton'd
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015

A: @BeaM_Official nope, I'm having fun with everything, personally.
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 19, 2015
Alright y'all… this has been fun but I gotta get back to Mother Base. Mission updated…Thanks to @popcicle and the boss man @Nyxus_MGS

The embargo lifts on August 23rd. Expect a lot more then.
Update 26/8: After sharing his extensive thoughts on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in his review, Carlos Fregoso (crimsonfox) answered further questions people had during a second Q&A session on Twitter. Here are all the answers he provided (once again spoiler free, as he did not go into the specifics of the story).
@TekkZero as a long time fan ,mgs1 boss fights will always stand out to me. But the phantom pain is a very close second. Very close to close
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@famousbrandnew they appear at a certain point but they aren't necessary to continue the story.
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@lukerobertfitch @Nyxus_MGS at first there isn't But you'll have trouble either way. And with all the options to play. Replaying then is fun
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@famousbrandnew it's to hard to choose. Buddies add great variety, weapons customization is massive also.
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@bigpapinel Yes but classic perversion always shines through Haha her story's great And Stephanie's mocap work makes you really feel for her
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@lukerobertfitch some missions are designed like classic modes. But I believe at the very end you can replay with different difficulties
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@StefanoTini1 @Nyxus_MGS compared to other entries everything is explained very very well. Especially characters from other titles.
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@famousbrandnew due to being unprepared about 2hours.The game recommended a rocket launcher and I wanted to see if it was a gimmick. Its not
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@famousbrandnew I tried my hardest to complete it with out the recommended equipment and it was tough. But totally worth it
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@JackMoon21 @Nyxus_MGS a lot if different bases and outposts. Even simple ones never have the same layout. Done are 4 tours the size of GZs
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@JackMoon21 @Nyxus_MGS some are 4 times the size*
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@famousbrandnew the number of buddies in the game is perfect considering all you have to manage and all the options each offer
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@famousbrandnew no but we did play a few rounds of f.o.b
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@B1g_Boss88 @Nyxus_MGS it was weird environment to cry in. But I felt super terrible on a number of occasions and some things made me sick
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@famousbrandnew no outposts out bases feel similar
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@B1g_Boss88 @Nyxus_MGS also, there is one character in particular that makes me want to kill them myself. The story got my really involved
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@dingbat91 weapons, armor, speakers, colors and music
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@famousbrandnew depending on the FOB your invadings rank it gets fucking hard. So everything changes
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@Raine_Sheppard I think this info is somewhere on the internet. But it's incredibly small from what I remember. The games size it's nuts
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@sonic10ultimate no, it's a slow gradual difference between upgrade. But I didn't wait 3 hours or anything that annoying
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@DonovanBoyle1 @Nyxus_MGS not WILD but there's a few treats
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@StefanoTini1 it's my favorite one personally.
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@StefanoTini1 it's so evil, the trailers totally threw me off and I was thankful and surprised MULTIPLE times
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@ckeeton2013 @famousbrandnew from what I saw all micro-transactions only speed up development time nothing else. MGO might be different
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@ckeeton2013 @famousbrandnew more specifically development times for FOB
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@JackMoon21 @Nyxus_MGS I'll quote myself. It's not the biggest open world you'll play in but it has the absolute most toys to play with
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@ShiragamaV @Nyxus_MGS the story question = I dont think they had the need to listen to every cassette tape like I did. Story is great
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@ckeeton2013 @famousbrandnew from what I saw and understood that's not the case
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@famousbrandnew I'd stay 200+ I'll be playing about 500 myself
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@B1g_Boss88 @Nyxus_MGS ahh, I never saw any 🙁
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@MrSirShpee there's a water gun 🙂 I didn't see bows
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@ulisexyacosta your buddies, and support team strikes
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@B1g_Boss88 @Nyxus_MGS it depends on your GMP and resources. And changes with every upgrade first one about 45 minutes to about 1:45
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@ulisexyacosta you can sell them for GMP or to defend you FOB
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@MrSirShpee no it'll stop, but! You'll have a lot to do and when you return to your base it's satisfying to see
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@otaku1014 shit! I wanted to try that too but totally forgot. I'm not sure bro
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@shzi8 the story doesn't pick up till 16 – 20 hours in. But when it does. It's on
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@chris_centrone @Nyxus_MGS they dont waste time with "pointless" cassettes, I listened to maybe 100? Important tapes are highlighted tho
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@bxrlow you can basically put anything together. And it's unlocked in a side quest and it's not even alluded too. It's a totally surprise
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@ulisexyacosta no they are all randomly generated and can't be changed. But the random names are often hilarious
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@VenomFox79 you Fulton various soliders with various special skills
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@yungsad23 @Nyxus_MGS I didn't get to play the GZ save transfer stuff. But I hear it's recruit orientated
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@MrSirShpee yeah, you'd have to leave your console on. or start one when you begin your daily play throughs 🙂
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@MrSirShpee you can cripple the enemies commutation towers and make it difficult to respond to your intrusions
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@MrSirShpee neither do I. That's why I said it's cool to start it when you first jump in
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@666Edwardali @Nyxus_MGS if played right and you unlock it. It can be very very cool and expansive Especially with the more your r&d develop
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@VenomFox79 he's just a legendary gunsmith in the area
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@rayguz32 its something that Kojima fans will understand Hopefully the tragic aspect is received well & people give it a chance to explain.
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@666Edwardali I liked the story a lot personally
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@CallMehEpic side ops? Even if a mission description is repetitive. The bases and outposts are different enough to keep it fun.
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 24, 2015
@SchmittKing depends on the time of day But yes Line of sight can be tough They dont exactly bust out full force theyll check the area first
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
@SchmittKing the ai also adapts to you on your play through. So it changes also. If you use NVG all the time the later half is alot harder
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
@SchmittKing depends I dont know the exact distance but yes theyll notice Trying to drive by a outpost is hilarious when they all gang on u
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
@TheLinianLegacy some R avoidable And some are in huge areas that you can sneak out of In some they use the entire map Boss fights are crazy
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
@TheLinianLegacy but totally miss? I'm not sure. I always went for them haha
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
@SchmittKing put your worries in a sack kid haha. The game challenging on normal. And intense in harder modes
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
@TheLinianLegacy 1000 times yes
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
@TheLinianLegacy I can't answer that. But you won't be disappointed
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
@TheLinianLegacy defiantly.
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
@TheLinianLegacy yes, but it is also their opinions. But the gameplay totally makes up for it 2 fold.
— crimsonfox (@crimsonfox_MGI) August 25, 2015
Thanks for posting! Its nice to see these in list form
I’m very proud of this website, it’s people, and to be a part of it.
Well thank you for being a part of it!
im follow this site from beginning even though im not comment so much on discussion.
glad this site now so huge and have opportunity from Kojipro (yeah,Kojipro not Konami,because they already knew us before drama began)
NYXUS IS BACK ON FOX ! FOR THE 100th time !
( ‘ ‘ )7
Metal Gear Kirby. I could live with this.
The best online community I’ve had the pleasure to be part of.
I’ve not been here for very long (4 months?), but I can safely say it’s my favorite fan website to go to.
Me too!
Me three!
Hear, Hear!!
Best comunity EVER!
This will be the place for us to band together an defend our FOBs!!!
imma comment right here to join in and possibly reserve a spot for myself in the MGI FOB Defense Clan.
MGIFOBDC anyone?
You can be proud of Nyxus and it’s team, they are the men that hold things together. they are the patriots. The rest just comes along.
The rest are what make it an actual community…
Yes sorry, i didn’t want to sound like this community sucks or something like that. Actually it’s a good place for MGS Fans to find each other. But looking at the comments of every article, you usually see the same people replying. Some talk less and some way too much, thats what i wanted to state. But its a normal thing at every forum, shoutbox or in life in general. Few months from now, after TPP’s release, this community well be way smaller. There is nothing to be proud of i think. The only ones who can be proud should by Nyxus and the rest of it’s team, which i unfortunately don’t know the names of.
we are DIAMOND DOGS !!
I feel the same!
This is a great community, I’m so greatfull to have found this page! It’s nearly been 18 months since we got our hands on Ground Zeroes and I have been craving TPP more and more everyday.
Best place on the internet.
Agreed. Me too. We are an army without borders in our own right.
I’m so Nuclear right now . . .
Crimson fox already getting famous. 8)

http://gamingbolt.com/metal-gear-solid-5-will-throw-everyone-for-a-loop-snake-can-shoot-while-driving-or-riding-a-horse
Wow thats awesome. He sure is giving nice info. Hey Nyx are you jelly for not playing the game? I sure am D: But I do prefer playing it with the peace and quiet of my house.
Nice one Crimson
Thanks for the info!
I’ve been lurking here for a long time now…
You guys are amazing, thank you all for this site, for the intel, for your work!
Welcome to Outer Heaven!
Thanks a lot!
Welcome ( ‘ ‘ )7 glad to have you with us comrade. Everyone’s pretty excited right about now, good time to show up in the comments, unless you get buried somehow, lol.
There’s Kirby again!
Nothing beats big fat Kirby emoticons (> ‘ ‘ )>
Welcome!
I kinda feel bad for them. On one hand, it must be cool to play the game early. Then again, I would hate to have to cram my first playthrough into 4 days.
I was thinking the same thing, They are really taking one for the Team. A Game like MGS needs to be enjoyed alone sometimes. . . you know. . . when the feels come
I think I would end up crying out of emotion even if I was in the bootcamp, lol.
Exactly, i want to play it like home and not afraid of crying like a bi*ch!
Ready Dem Tissues! . . Omg My Room is gonna be a Mess. Gona start crying while the game installs
“Team Tissues” for me they will be just for tears, nothing more.
I’ll have dem tissues prepped alright! For uh… various reasons…
Mmmm tears… *peels an onion*
I’m already crying because of the wait.
Well he seemed to be happy to do it. 😉 And he will be immune to spoilers!
Too bad we can’t just forget what happened and play the game for the first time again,
i would do that with so many games/movies… shit i would end up forgetting my whole life
If I had that Device, I would erase all my memories of Mgs 3 then replay it like its my first time . . .also all the awesome anime and Breaking Bad
it must be hard to not see the ending after completing the game
1. So jealous.
2. Wishing I could play this game asap.
3. Still so jealous.
But Nice work @crimsonfox. If i was you, i would be tempted to slide the disc in my shirt before i leave xD
Probably have the consoles locked. But still could break it open and run with it.
You can lock a console? Oo
They can put something on it for that kind of thing, that or stick it behind a case so you can’t reach the console. There is also the possibility of having “demo” console units prepared for such an event which do not function as a full console, it is also possible that there is no disc and they are playing an installed unlocked version of the game. In other words, stuff, they will have something to prevent theft or console tampering.
Aghhh so jeolas almost 10 days left >~< / also nyxus you posted two tweets twice about Fulton and optional things
Thanks for pointing that out!
No problamo boss
I think that TPP will be heavily influenced by the Moby Dick story and Snake will be a sort of Captain Abab style character, consumed by revenge to the detriment of his ‘crew’, his soldiers. Another thing I noticed was on the Mother Base gameplay that was released a few weeks ago. There was a graphic showing Mother Base with 3 FOB branches. Obviously 2 FOB’s will be for Africa and Afghanistan, I wonder if there is a 3rd map that will be available. When you look at the claim that TPP is 100+ times bigger than GZ, then I think this is a real possibility.
I have to say, the questions people ask this guy are really fucking stupid. Its shit we already know, or shit any person with common sense could put together just by watching the gameplay videos.
While true, do we really want to know anything else at this point? The wait is killing us all but it’s so nearly over.
Probably isnt anything else to know, besides the story which is embargoed completely
Obviously we are all getting caught in the hype of whats going to be an amazing game, but I think we need to plan for post launch. The clan aspect, will MGI have its own clan consisting of all of us members on here or are people starting clans that are members of this site. No matter what clan I join, I want it to consist of the people on this site.
im with you on that.
an MGI/MGO clan would be the shit.
Tomorrow i will already start a group in the PS4 for anyone to join. When the game comes, i will make a clan for sure.
Sounds like a good idea. All for it.
Painful wait is almost over…
12 more days: endure, we must!

Cool, thanks! 😀
Hells yeah, awesome stuff, thanks to crimson and Nyxus for the details.
I won’t go into to hiding, my absolute spoiler defense is here! ( if someone spoils I’m nuking their fob to deepest depths of hell also :p )
Come at me bro: Venom Snake is in a coma! FOR 9 YEARS!
Now what you gonna do? huh? huh? huh?
OH! Why did you ruin what happens in between GZ and TPP >:(
so much for looking forward to TPP …
….
Preorders cancels world wide. 0/10 -ign “too much spoilers”
I want spoilers, tell me where to look
Probley google

If you do find them don’t bring them here please.
SILENCE! I KILL YOU!!!!

That’s an evergreen 🙂

I think people who bring spoilers to the site should be removed instantly! Sharing spoilers in comments is not cool! Not cool at all.

there can be no spoilers.. they ve completed only 5-7% of the game
There are no spoilers at the moment. We are expecting to see tons of them after Sunday, when the Let’s plays begins.
On Neogaf and Twitter.
i aslo did but i wont post them here!!!!!! like i did with advanced warfare last year!
go away!
Man! Where can I get that T!?
I was asking the same thing @Nyxus let us support you, this community!
I’d wear it to honor our brotherhood the first time I sat down to play TPP.
Either Yong is tiny or you’re a giant Crimsonfox. Or both ( ^ 3 ^)*
Yong actually answered A LOT more questions, so, here’s that.
I dont understand, what does that have to do with anything? He was commenting on their size in the pic of them.
I though he was talking metaphorically, as which 1 has more influence!
Lol, I tweeted that exact comment. How weird
Fox! Im already a demon
I really didn’t understand his answer to that one, “You’re wasting your question.” Unless I did understand it…
Is crimsonfox just probably instructed to not mention the Kojima debacle stuff, as seems to have been the case at these press events in recent months?
Or is it that the answer is “Obviously, no, there is no KojiPro logo” — which I imagine is probably true as well.
i think its both he isnt allowed to talk about the whole fallout and we also all knew it was stripped…
in short: what you said lol
the waiting is killing me… 12 more days
Jens Skautrup thats me! yeah!! (Just my weird Danish name) thank you Crimson, Nyxus and Gatsu ofcourse 😛
I don’t have Twitter, but I’d like to know if Snake’s animation for jumping (especially from heights) has improved from Ground Zeroes. It looked kind of unnatural in GZ. Did anyone else think so?
it has improved, he rolls into position naturally so says yongyea
question to yongyea :
Can you tell us some of your favorite game mechanics that haven’t been revealed so far?
@YongYea: One cool new addition is that when Snake dives from high place, he does a roll and seamlessly transitions.
Yeah, I can confirm this,watch the FOB gameplay again and close to the end when the player respawns as a chick, watch very carefully.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_elSJYm4SXA
LMAO
Everyone calm down ! TPP is close. just chill for 11 days ; )

Well, after doing the math and figuring out I can install TPP on Steam at 7am on the 31st, not too mad.
I think the question was about when snake jumps from a very high place and nothing happens to his health.
The comments about game hours and percent of the game, I think, are unnecessary. The first time you finish all the missions in gz you have something like 20%. The rest is for replaying. In tpp we have that and A LOT of things to develop.
This post has just made my day! Not to say I was worried about anything, it just makes me smile of how good this game will be. Expectations are so high, but yet it feels like TPP will over exceed it. We are going to be playing this game for months and even years!!
Crimsonfox & YongYea, in the same picture? BASTARDS!! lol
HYPE
i love the chains haha
2 Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakes!!!
I can’t wait for his fire mixtape
This one?
I want this to be real so badly
I’m gonna use this as my Steam avatar now
You’re welcome!
I actually realized that it’s probably barely visible when looking at it other than my Steam page, but I know I’ll find a good use for it. Thanks, though.
The artist for this is nuclear-fusion-dojo on tumblr.
Joaquin, I’ve seen at least two artists now upset with you for re-posting their art without crediting them on twitter and getting all the attention off of their work from Kojima/Konami retweeting you instead of them. I see you’re spreading it without credit here, too. These fanartists deserve more respect than that. You (and by you I mean everyone) need to start getting into the practice of attributing credit to the artists whenever you post their work. Or just don’t re-post it if you can’t figure out who made it. I’ve seen several artists mention this problem in the MGS community and it’s deterring them away from creating new MGS fanart to share.
Hey wowow. relax . Did you see my twitter ? 90% of my tweets have tags of their artist. I just didn’t find it in that moment. take easy dude . You don’t know me
For one thing, a link to the source is a hundred times more useful than a hashtag. Secondly, do you check your Twitter notifs at all? Some artists have been messaging you themselves when they want you to credit them or delete your post of their work, but you’ve done nothing about it. And not finding it in that moment is really not an excuse. Look at nuclear-fusion-dojo’s Tumblr, he’s talking about what you did and why it’s a problem. http://nuclear-fusion-dojo.tumblr.com/
Still my art wasn’t credited at all, the problem isn’t that you use my work, that is fine but using my work without any source or permission ask is pretty much considered crime, I’m really sorry but I didn’t spend hours doing for you to just take and post it like that because you “you didn’t find it in that moment”. Look, I know attention, but it doesn’t take much to just Google search it quick and credit the artist that had so much work on it, I hope you understand how much these situations upset the artists and refrain yourself from doing it again, thanks for your comprehension.
I’ll get right on that.
They were messaging Joaquin on Twitter, which he has been ignoring. Take a look at nuclear-fusion-dojo’s Tumblr to see what his feelings are on his work getting taken.
Ahhh. Thanks for the heads up. And also the name if the artist that makes some pretty cool stuff.
http://nuclear-fusion-dojo.tumblr.com/ here it is.
My problem isn’t that he’s pretending to have done it, all I want is the respect I deserve and to be credited for all my work I did for the fandom.after all, what he did is a crime : /
This fanart was originally done by me, support the artist and go to http://nuclear-fusion-dojo.tumblr.com thank you for your attention
I feel like CrimsonFox gets more entertaining the more he posts.
UUGH!
FUGOUHHH!
All the new users here are scaring the shit out of me lol. On one hand i’m glad this site is growing and getting attention, on the other hand I feel like any of you could be a spoiler troll. Trust Issues.
same here i think the time has come to think about going dark… for real you know… not like the first 6 times i went dark lol
We all need our own sound proof padded cells.
I wouldn’t worry about any of the old faces. I can say I honestly feel like they would never drop a bomb like that. And if it was dropped a mod in a hazmat suit would proptly clean it up!
….I hope
*Not a spoiler* Sins of the father is 5:08 long (the track) nice !
people what about N4G? you think its safe?
Not sure.
Boss… It’s n4g were talking about, which I’ve come to understand will use any info for clicks
nothing is safe. stay away from every news site. you were able to wait years, don’t be foolish and ruin this adventure so close before the finish line. just 10 more days. 10 more little days.
Well peeps…..I heard through twitter that Greg Miller from Funny Games is going to be starting a lets play of TPP starting on this Sunday. Which I think is so wrong. Even tho he said he won’t be showing the intro, I just think it’s way to early for a lets play!! Spoilers….oh boy here they come! I’m literally going have to disconnect my internet, nowhere will be safe by the time we are into next week. Brothers and sisters, see you all soon. MGI clan.
Big_Az
take care brother i wish you the strengh not to check the news!
See you on the other side ( ‘ ‘ )7
😀
It is way too early, what the hell Greg. ..
Exactly what I was thinking when I found this out.
everyone starts sunday
Maybe he’s gonna just discuss it or cuntami will fuck him up
HHES GONNA PLAY TILL MISSION 5 AND SKIP MISSION 1 LOL
Thank you thank you thank you Crimson and everyone at Metal Gear Informer for answering these questions. Great to see you with Yong lol, he along with you guys has made the many years of waiting fun and exciting as opposed to tedious and desperate.
Love his countdown retrospective, just knowing what we know now, release <2 weeks away…glorious.
So the collectors edition went back on stock on amazon and I was just wondering how reliable is amazon’s release date delivery?
It’s pretty reliable, it just depends on what you choose for shipping.
So if I were to choose release day delivery I could expect it by noon? cause my main problem is that I have classes that day and cant stay home to wait for the package all day
I ordered mine a while ago, just sucks I have school on the 1st. It would be awesome to play it seconds after it is delivered.
I think it’s time to avoid mgs stuff on the Internet, except yongs retrospective countdown. See you at mother Base in less than 2 weeks.
You know what grinds my gears? The PS3 Japanese version of the game has a Special Edition. But here in the west we don’t get squat. Why is it that JP understands that there are still millions of PS3 owners but outside of JP think that just because the “new” generation of consoles is out we’re suppose to throw our old games in the garbage. I’ve had my PS2 even way after the PS3 came out and I had a lot of playtime still left in it. I’m gonna have to import this baby.
http://img.amiami.jp/images/product/main/152//GAME-0014196.jpg
before you import, make sure it isnt region locked. You presume because it isnt in the US that it will never come. They released the HD collection and then repackaged it with MGS4 a year later, Im certain in the months to come we will see more special editions. Ill be supprised if the mgsv console doesnt come to america by xmas
Use Nin-nin-game.com like i did. It cost me a small fortune, but i simply have to own the full scale arm and that artbook.
I Just finished re watching all the trailers..The red band trailer…. shivers.. i know its like a meme by now but the “woooahh woahhh ” part at the end… omg incredible
You couldn’t put the questions up too?
They are there, right above his responses in the same tweet.
I think he meant the question that we’re not answered!
Oh. Maybe. I don’t know if there’s much point in putting those if they don’t have an answer, though.
how can this game not win GOTY
depends what outlet
Do you really think this one is going to be flawless, after Konami got their hands in to it and limited the budget at the end?
There is no reputable evidence I know of that suggests that Konami plunged their tar covered hands on the game and smudged it all up.
The thing that kinda pisses me off the most about this Konami situation is now the legacy of the game is forever tainted, if there is something X person hates in the game they will now blame #FucKonami for it rather than the more likely creative descions made by KojiPro with the artistic freedom they have. Most people will never judge TPP as complete art piece like it deserves – a flawed masterpiece due to the differences in Kojima’s acquired taste and the players, but now any flaw will be cited as another case of the publisher came in and screwed that part of the game up for Z reason, not because Kojima had an idea, loved it and worked hard to put it in the game to make the game he wants.
Not really, if the flaw is something like 1 line of dialogue, than i will blame Kojima, aspecially since i am hism fan, then MGS fan, i tend to go harder and critic more the people that i respect and look up to because they have high standars set by themselves that they have to reach!
Yeah but how can one differentiate a decision Kojima made and one Konami did? How do we know Konami didn’t walk to Kojima’s booth smash his head against his desk and shout at him to change a line in the script due to it being offensive or bad which could reflect bad on the company? The fact that someone even considers that suggests the piece is already tainted by a cynical stigma forever clouding it’s reception as a pure artistic piece. I think the Mass Effect 3 ending debacle is a perfect example of an art piece tainted by accusation (at least not baseless) of corporate meddling.
Point is, i don’t think TPP will be a Perfect Game, all right, i’m an MGS Fan, just not a Fan-Boy, i keep realistic expectations!
I know, I also know TPP won’t be perfect, it can’t be as if it was somehow perfect for me, it would cease to be art and instead be something more akin to a computer with specific hardware manufactured from a checklist of sorts to be better than other hardware and computers through mathematics, coding and focus testing. My point is that TPP can’t be perfect but it isn’t (just) because of Konami meddling, it will be because this game is made by Kojima, and I’m not Kojima.
Good point. I just think that especially with the fiasco, there is a lot more safe to lower your expectations for this one, and get surprised by it!
Is just an assumption, as i’m convinced SH wasn’t a Perfect Game!
Depending on how much the Microtransiction fukk up the Game flow!
maybe the only thing that can stop the game from winning this or other awards can be that its to rude, brutal etc. but i’m not sure since the last of us has been highly decorated, and that game was rude as well. but you never know about our society… secretly they love their tabus even if they point their fingers at you. whatever happens, this game will be THE SHIT. 10 days left until i say “goodbye cruel world”
I love you all deeply but if you invade (venomous vipers) base I will literally kill you all…that said be on the watch out for them vipers 😉
Sorry to brake it to you but snakes are no match for Honey Badgers. That’s how we roll.
http://www.tshirtadvocate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Honey-Badger-Dont-Care.jpg
I’m getting myself ready for TPP. I may have to reprint that cause I ran out of yellow toner lol
Whooaa that looks really great, even without the yellow. It lends pretty well to the old worn vibe of the cover. And that clear case really makes it look like a rental video/game in the 80’s or early 90’s!
I think I might go by Kinkos and get my cover printed within the week. And maaaybe I’ll have it printed to size in a white bluray case like that instead of [slightly taller] PS4 sized cover slip.
IDEAS!! Thank you for sharing that picture.
Glad to share. I hope your cover comes out good. I like your idea. Now that you mentioned it, without that color the image looks like a bootleg vhs which makes it even more awesome. I might have to make a trip to kinko’s myself just to print it right though.
Not to Single White Female you or anything, but I’m even wondering now if I want to create a second image with the yellow removed, and have them print that out as well so I can choose between the two.
And here’s my mind-blow of the evening: I Googled for “kinkos” and all the results are for Fed-Ex Office stores. When dafuuuuuuh did Kinkos go away? I’ve no idea when this happened but already it makes me feel old.
Oh yeah. I forgot about that. I feel like I should know better since I live in Memphis the Headquarters of FedEX so there’s a lot those around. lol
Link me to the original pleeeease!
‘ere you go: http://www.thegamescabin.com/stick-it-to-konami-with-this-awesome-vhs-style-box-art-for-metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/
here you go. http://www.thegamescabin.com/stick-it-to-konami-with-this-awesome-vhs-style-box-art-for-metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/
Could I use that as a cover when I get MGS V? Because from what I’ve heard, the official cover doesn’t have the Kojima Productions logo nor the tag line: “A Hideo Kojima Game”. So would that be a viable option?
Printable options are linked in this article: http://www.thegamescabin.com/stick-it-to-konami-with-this-awesome-vhs-style-box-art-for-metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/
Here’s the link you could print one for any version PS/xbox/PC
http://www.thegamescabin.com/stick-it-to-konami-with-this-awesome-vhs-style-box-art-for-metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/
If there is no reversible, Shinkawa cover, I may well have to print one of these myself!
[EDIT] Also, I have that Fox Hound pin on my favorite hat! Hands down the coolest pin I own (and yes, I have MANY).
Awesome article as always, thanks Nyx for putting all them answers together !
Woah thank you. crimsonfox for sharing with us the information.
Nobody is asking is there codec calls? Is the codec calls will be as interesting like MGS2, MGS3, MGS4 (Although not much compared to MGS2 and MGS3)?
I think only cassette tapes like in PW.
ah i see. Thanks for the response!
Np, at least I haven’t heard anything of them being included :).
y’know, I liked the tapes in PW. They told such a detailed story that I could picture every little thing play out in my head. Like reading a good audiobook the voice work was superb. I enjoyed listening to Paz’s Diary entry about Strangelove 😉

aw man, this sucks 🙁
https://twitter.com/popcicle/status/634049264679718912
Yheap . Guess i’m stick with Ps4 until the game comes out . Really sucks but well there is nothing we can do about it
I wonder what Kiefer’s direction was? Look as depressed and confused as possible the entire game. I was watching the trailers in 0.25 speed to pick out certain things and noticed how in every shot he was in, he always has the “fuck my life, how did this happen?” face. Can’t wait for his performance in this game.
Damn :(, oh well I got fast DL speed so it’s kinda OK to me.
Same here, from what i herd Romania is the the second country in the world at internet speed, but not everyone has that good internet, so i root for you guys!
Lucky dude! I would love to be in Alexander’s place( if that’s his name ?)
Yes, you got that right.
Well, glad they have the physical version in my country!
Does this tweet imply the game is downloadable + playable from 1 septemeber 00:00 new zealand time? Which is the 31st of august morning in USA and afternoon in Europe.
So stoked about The Phantom Pain nothing can distract my mind from it.
Haven’t posted in awhile. Getting to close to launch to just read and not say anything haha. Congratz on the boot camp invite Crimson! This is going to be an epic experience when this drops for everybody. Also who knows how long it’ll be till I visit any web sites after sept 1, just want to say thanks Nyxus for the website, been my first click when I get on my computer everyday for a very long time.
Welcome back, brotha!
Welcome back ^_^! Ye it will be beyond epic.
Less then 2 weeks left. Disconnecting internet….now!
I’m doing the same after the 23th http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gebrZikaAcA/T1dnX8paZTI/AAAAAAAABkM/4yPNwPexcMM/s1600/Carl_sagan-gif.gif
hahahahaha…
2 weeks? what are you smokin’? it’s 10 days for Steam owners in western countries.
I just ordered the collectors edition for ps4 off the gamestop website, is there a chance my order wont be fulfilled because of low quantities?
No, it should come dependent on your shipping choice, I chose one-day shipping so it should come in the day of release.
Same, I’m thinking of getting the digital version to so I can play early, but I want to have enough money to feed myself… Choices choices, very one sided choices
I’ve had some bad experiences with GameStop. They NEVER ship before release date. I’ve always gotten my games a day or two after release. Even with the fastest shipping option.
Ya know what im looking forward to.. A week after release coming here to read about everyones diff exps.. Sharing info/tips n tricks etc.. Its gonna be incredible
I am going to post some of my gameplay too!
I’ll be doing comparison b/w X-360,ps3, X-one and PC…
it will be couple of months for me unfortunately….unless i can find a way to smuggle a PS4 onboard the ship 😀
Or you could get a Laptop and pay it in fractions once a month, or how is it called!
ohh no im not getting a gaming laptop thank you very much…id rather invest in my PC back home,then do that mistake….what do you mean by “fractions” btw?
Pay each mounth a% until you pay the whole thing!
ahhh gotcha,sorry it took me a while to understand lol
I plan on making some fob friends here (you save me, I save you kinda thing, or vice versa) and then when mgo3 comes out, I’m hoping to play with some of this community.
As long as this place stays spoiler-free, i am all for it ( ^ ^)-b
That photo with Yong is so great. I hope you had a a lot of fun!
Yeah, it shows how diverse is out community, from both races to Generations as well!
A fanbase without borders, of course. xD
Yeah :D, I wish I had the chance to be there too XD!
Is Crimsonfox huge or Yong’s a midget XD
A little big of both.
Well considering that @Crimsonfox is one of us, i do have a question for him for when he comes back.
Can you tells us whether or not there’s a Cutscene or a Mission between escaping Cyprus and entering Afghanistan, or does the game make a time jump, without explaining how Snake got back in shape?
Looks like a time jump. How Snake got back into shape might be told through a cassette tape haha.
Before 90% of us going into media blackout, fill in your usernames on the list at “Links”. So can invite y’all to Steam groups etc. 😉
Excuse my retardism, but how do i do that, what do i press?
https://i.gyazo.com/9137a6f1a1cd0d6d4d4697f5b8686111.png
guessing you never used Excell 😀
Just press the lowest empty cell,and type in the needed information(PS wait for a few seconds for other cells to load in since a lot of cells have been filled already)
And then how do i save?
just leave the text in and it should save automatically..i can see your info already
Thanks!
np
could you throw a link again pls o.o
Guys, do you think reflex mode will be necessary for the first playthrough of TPP?
I really would prefer playing without….always. :/
They have said that you really need it , that you won’t be able to tag everyone , cause you will never see everyone. That’s what I heard anyways.
im positiv it will be possible without… maybe im dead wrong but i want to believe
I guess you can disable it, not sure about the AI capabilities tho. Maybe you wanna stick with for a while until you coma accustomed to the mechanics 🙂
(off topic tech news) did someone mentioned….skynet??!??! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q6uLV4H2hA
This is just as farcical as the living organic future PS4 that was shit talked about around 15 years ago.
weather or not is farcical we shall see in 5+ years….and i dont remember anything about
“living organic PS4 that was shit talked about around 15 years ago.”
PS3 let alone PS4 wasnt even in the plans lol…unless you have some article on that i think you made that up 😀
I read it about 15 years ago in an Official PlayStation magazine. It was around the time the PS2 was coming out. It was Sony shit talking as usual about their future tech.
sorry mate,but that doesnt make sense,i googled for almost 50 minutes
didnt find anything…if it true what you are saying,then im sorry….but i dont see anything remotely similar to what you said 😀
I know I read the article. It was a long time ago. It’s strange it’s not on the net. Not even worth reading anyway.
im sure you did mate….but please dont trow around some statements if you dont have something to back it up….this technology in the video has nothing to do with “living organic chip” you mentioned,hell it doesnt even have any connections to biotechnology….in theory many engineers stated that this is highly possible to implement,but in practice….again we shall see 5+,and boy i do hope it works
I wasn’t linking it with your silly video. I was just talking about tech that will NEVER HAPPEN!. 5+ years? Stop whatever is it you are smokin’
umm… did you even watch the video? cuz if you did,youd knew it has nothing to do with a brain lol
Human brain? Inventiveness?……. OK? I guess.
It’s just there hasn’t been huge advances in hardware tech over the past five years, never mind the next five. Has the IPad advanced, the games console? Computer hardware?. GPU’s are just using more grunt and eating enormous amounts of energy. There are no real hardware advancements. It takes decades.
invasiveness*
Um unless you are an tech expert we have nothing to talk about here anymore mate…you said enough by your previous statements…and to add up yes all mentioned devices you mentioned have undergone fast change,especially Computer hardware…
also “It’s just there hasn’t been huge advances in hardware tech over the past five years, never mind the next five.”
http://static1.gamespot.com/uploads/original/597/5977566/2828698-gmkujde.gif
Only 11 days left guys. We can do that sitting on a GRU soldiers head. Remember! Snake waited 9 years.
I would like to hear some criticism, so far it’s all praise!
There must be some imperfections in there! ;D
Exactly, Crimson, tell us what you don’t like so far.
This annoying person makes has a pretty good theory about Venom Snake. — crimsonfox “Literally nothing is what it seems. This game will throw everyone for a loop.”
Skip past the childish OTT swearing where hes gives his view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn4DZfcKBDc
When does the rambling end lol
Edit: 5:55 is the point
Edit2: DON’T WATCH THAT LOL
His theory on Venom Snake makes a good point. Kojima has pulled this stunt before. Why can’t he remember that Ocelot is a bad guy? He can’t remember that he can speak Russian fluently? BB never lost his arm. Mantis could be feeding him the real BB memories.
I thought about this theory myself before. I can sense a HUGE! mindfuck coming.
I hope that isn’t the case. I want venom to be BB. I don’t want no mindfuck. Just how BB goes bad. And finish the storyline.
what if (and remember what eva said about the Cypher lies about big boss) someone created the perfect doppelganger? and he commited all the terrible things we thought that Boss did. At the end big boss having the choice to accept all of these deeds or not finally accepts the role of the villain by choice. that could be a cool moment. Seriously.. do u like the explanation that an amnesiac big boss that was on a coma caused by a vagina bomb forgot everything he knew and was taking orders from Kaz and ocelot just to take revenge on a person that he can barely remember? cause u know phantom pain is all about that. I definately dont like what the story seems to be at this point
Having the Venom Snake clone as the baddie keeps the original and true Snake (Ishmael perhaps) a hero. I think this is what Kojima wants. There are just too many variations made to this Venom Snake character to suggest he is the real BB. It just doesn’t add up.
well my theory was and still is that the made was the subject of the cloning process.
they didnt show us his face:on purpose. there is a guy with the same voice covered in bandages.(cause you know…face customization) he tried to reach paz with his left hand the hand that venom is missing. there is a 3rd person at the ER that i think its him (its us) (it WAS kojima he didnt lie).Kojima stated multiple times that he want the player to be snake this time.. and thats exactly what he does…
Hahahaha. A vagina bomb. She could of said in her ass. Haha
But anyway, the more people say venom is not BB. The more it seems to fit. It wouldn’t surprise me but I don’t care. Aslong as it connects to mg or remakes it in the end. I’ll be happy. Or if Outer Heaven gets vagina bombed.
“V” has come to … hmm
Before i press play, are there spoilers? Is that why you are saying “Don’t watch it”?
Or it is just a theory?
Thanks 🙂
just watched it. Theory only ! : ) nothing u havent heard before
I don’t want to watch it. I would assume it’s another theory.
Hes right though. As for his theory i agree 100%
its been 2 years that i insist that something is wrong with venom.. so there
FUCK EVERYONE HE IS SKIPPING MISSION 1 AND PLAYING TILL MISSION 5
I am wondering if enemies can follow you into the armory rooms or if they still just stand around like idiots waiting for you to come out
There are quiet a few tweets about the advances in enemy AI since GZ. But I hope your right.
They ought to crack open the door and throw a grenade inside
I’d bet my left arm that they will kick your butt if you don’t watch yourself 🙂
I hope it’s surprising. I expect to be outsmarted a few times by the AI. Waiting four years, we deserve it hahah
Whaaat? I’m pretty sure I’ve had a couple of firefights inside of armories in GZ, so I wouldn’t expect the enemies to just stand around outside in TPP either?
I have had plenty of times where even in alert mode I run into the armory and even if they see me go in there, I can just sit and wait it out. “Cp this is Zulu 10, lost sight of the enemy!” Lol. Sometimes they shoot at the door for a minute but then they forget
That never happened to me. They always followed me wherever go I went. The funkiest was just one time in band camp…
Maybe it’s a ps4 thing?
I has question about pre-order.
Usually during the final week, I get the pre-order jitters. I’d obviously love to play this ASAP but that’s up to EBGames Canada. I haven’t ordered from them much, but jumped at the change to pre-order the CE when I heard it was available on their site. Amazon didn’t have it in stock at the time – which leads me to the obvious question: any fellow Canuckers know if they do release day delivery with express shipping?
I would assume on release day delivery with express anywhere in the world. I’m pretty sure they send it before.
There won’t be Pre-loading option for Steam PC users, confirmed. 🙁
On Steam It will be available at 2PM on the 31st for me. That’s the 1st of September New Zealand time. A whole day before the consoles.
Are you sure?
Let me check in my Steam the countdown timer, i think mine is for 19:00 or so the day 1st september. : /
Thanks.
Where are you from? If your in Ireland the UK or Europe it will be in the afternoon on the 31st. It gets released at the same time everywhere.
Right now in Spain it’s 20/08/2015 13:50
In my Steam it says: Available: 1st sept
This game will be unlocked in 1 week, 5 days and 6 hours
This makes the game available in Spain: 01/09/2015 at 19:50 aprox
Anyway, as i said, no Pre-load. The day the game gets released, you will have to download from that moment, and wait for the download. 🙁
The steam forums are stating it will unlock early for the countries mentioned. No preload is a deliberate attempt to frustrate the PC community. Those big company’s hate us. http://steamcommunity.com/app/287700/discussions/0/528398719789130804/
New picture from new trailer!
Oh my God that looks super awesome :D! Love that lighting :3
Nice!
He looks scary! haha
First review is out. French magazine Jeuxvideo awarded MGSV: TPP with 17/20.
Here’s the summary in french (spoiler free):
Jouabilité
Le plus maniable des MGS, mais aussi celui qui propose le plus grande nombre de possibilités, même si certaines sont dispensables.
Graphismes
Ils sont plutôt propres dans l’ensemble. Le jeu souffre quand même de son développement sur deux générations de consoles. On a vu plus beau.
Bande-son
Des mélodies d’ambiance très convaincantes, et surtout une incroyable collection de morceaux des années 80.
Durée de Vie
L’aventure est sacrément longue (+de 40 heures), mais peut aussi susciter de la lassitude au bout d’un moment.
Entre son gameplay riche mais des missions un peu répétitives, un scénario qui promet beaucoup mais livre bien peu, MGSV impressionne autant qu’il nous laisse sur notre faim. Un bon jeu mais difficile à cerner. La dernière énigme de Kojima?
hold on im gonna translate it for you all 😉
They had a review of 4/5 on 4 categories and came out with a final score of 17/20…no comment lol
You know french? Tres bien !
francais est pas my langue maternelle.. mais oui je parle courramment 😉
Je suis mauricien et mon pays etait ne colonie francaise donc je suis oblige de parler le francais mais je suis horrible en ecrivant le francais mais je parles courrament comme toi 🙂 tes de quel pay?
je suis Grec. Colonie francaise? Nation d’Afrique?
Je ne comprends pas ?
ohhhhh Mauricien!!! that means you are from Mauritius.. sorry i never heard the term “mauricien” before !!! : )
Did you ever come here?
haha nope but i would love to do so someday ! Have you ever visited greece?
No but my fathers sister visited Athens and Cyprus one father the other and she liked it.
I meant one after the other.fuck auto correct!sorry for the strong language.
Si mon pays est un pay africain
Revi de tu rencontrer : ) im from greece ! ;
Cool!
Peux etre une erreure quand tas ecris mais cest Ravis ou ravit
gameplay
The more manageable AMS, but also one that offers the greatest number of possibilities, even if some are dispensable.
graphics
They are mostly clean throughout. The game still suffers from its development on two generations of consoles. We saw more beautiful.
Soundtrack
Melodies of very compelling atmosphere, and above all an incredible collection of songs of the 80s.
Lifetime
The adventure is damn long (40 hours +), but can also provoke weariness after a moment.
Between its rich gameplay but a bit repetitive missions, a scenario that promises much but delivers little, MGSV impresses as it leaves us hungry. A good game but elusive. Sleeping Murder Kojima?
“Sleeping Murder Kojima?” WTF?
well okay ! haha 😉
40 hours? Did they only play main story? And isn’t it a little short for a proper review? No to be disrespectful but I could’ve written that with only watching the gameplays^^
40 hours has to be only the main story. Hasn’t it? *Worried face*
1) replayability 2) sub stories 3) hidden secrets ( locations ) 4 ) tapes 5) mother base 6) mgo3 7) Probably SUB STORY for all budies 8) Platinium Trophy 9) Development of the weapons and “things” 10) Raw Diamonds 11) FOB Online 12) Story hidden on tampes ( secrets ) 13) Ester Egss 14) Doing 100% of completion 15) Camp Omega revisiting 16) Leaderboards ( longest tranq headshot etc ). 17) 40h story 18) and the last and most important… Love and Passion of the fans from all over the world.
If this reviewers saw anything that I wrote above , they shouldnt complain. But if they rushed the game and made a review based on that stupid rush so… good luck with that. We fans will sink into this game. We’ll create our own feelings towards this game and please… f*uck all the reviews. I am not watching them as I did with bloodborne and other great games. 1 sep … just insert br disk into playstation and play. DON’T WATCH REVIEWS. You probably bought the game before the release 🙂
I want to mention that MGS Series did not had the best scores from reviews in general but it did not stoped the series to become one of the best in the world giving the series status of Legendary 🙂 Have that in mind. I saw many negative reviews about mgs series. I fave friends that left the saga becouse of some strange story twists and strange details. This game is like “you love it or hate it”. This game is for people that have differant taste in games. This game is for US
GAME OF THE YEAR
Strong Competition from Witcher 3 for Goty…
Not have the best scores? MGS2 has a 96, MGS4 and 3 has 94, Peace Walker has 89 to name a few… That in my opinion is critical acclaim.
Yeah they rushed through it. Some reviews aren’t always very detailed. We can also expect to see at least one 1/10 review lol…not enough animals etc.
Gamespot will give a 7 or 8 just to be controversial. As click bait. Like they gave The Last of Us. Which got a 10/10 everywhere else.
sleeping murder?
I don’t even want to think about what that means. It sounds a little too spoilerish for my liking. Or does it?
My friend “La dernière énigme de Kojima” means… is this the final Enigma of Kojima?
I was right to translate the article not by google translate after all 😀
Thanks. :).
As Big Boss answered to Elisa when she sugested to shoot Null while he was sleeping “im no assasin..shooting a soldier with his guard down is not my style:..”
Sleeping Murder? The ultimate weapon to surpass Metal Gear is words implanted in people that kills them when they sleep? Using Mantis like telepathy. Getting a bit too strange for me.
There is not a sleeping murder you mistranslated the part.. the reviewer asks if this is the last ENIGMA of kojima? Derniere Enigme = last Enigma !
Thank you.
I know french?want some help?
i know french too. the review is accurate 🙂
Im getting the ps4 version but i gotta say for my pc brothers this is bullcrap
http://au.ign.com/articles/2015/08/20/konami-confirms-no-pc-pre-load-for-metal-gear-solid-5-the-phantom-pain?utm_source=IGN%20hub%20page&utm_medium=IGN%20(front%20page)&utm_content=4&utm_campaign=Blogroll&abthid=55d5b1db8004861e46000002
Most PC gamers still get it before the 1st. But yep! The no preload is bullcrap.
Oh, that reminds me! Can someone with twitter ask Peeler if midnight means midnight PST or midnight regardless of timezone please?
Regardless of timezone. The southern hemisphere countries are 12 hours ahead of most of us. It unlocks at midnight their time. That’s 2PM on the 31st for me. Early in the morning of the 31st USA time.
Thank you for the info bro :).
Your welcome. Enjoy the early release.
Oh hell yeah I will :D, yes UK get it available around 13.00 and I live almost in same time zone :D. A day early oooooooooooooh yeah XD, if I understood it correctly lol.
I live in Ireland. So 1pm or 2pm on the 31st for me. 4-5 hour download on my connection though.
Not 100% sure how long it take for me to download it, but shouldnt take very long :). Steam community hub exploded when no pre-load lol, but if get early release then pre-load doesn’t matter to me much.
Steam servers will be bombarded. Everyone trying to grab it. I bet my house it will be slow all day.
just checked it out now…. this should be tagged as “How to start a platform war 1.0.1” 😀
Hahaha ;D.
The geometry, lighting, textures and distance detail is far more detailed on the PC. Look at Ground Zeroes PS4. It is the equivalent of the PC version on medium/High settings. TPP has even more options like tessellation and anti aliasing, just to name a few.
it is more detailed…but the fact to the matter is …the difference itself is not “huge”…ground zeroes PS4 version aswell as XBOXOne was a rushed version,while PC version had more groundwork (hence almost a year later release)…for more detailed analysis just watch this video…and ofc if you cant deal with it that people dont see much of a difference,well thats another problem completely 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdNTy0wU1gc
So with my internet speed I will play it on September 3th…
No big deal, I was prepared for not playing on release day.
Just please don’t post spoilers in that time guys 😀
Here is the proper translation of the first offical review from NEOGAF user
Gameplay – 4 out of 5 stars
The Metal Gear game with the best gameplay, and with the most possibilities even though some aren’t that useful.
Graphics – 4 out of 5 stars
Game looks clean. Although, it clearly shows its crossgen roots. Not the best looking game.
Sound – 4 out of 5 stars
A lot of tracks from the 80s and a nice sound ambiance.
Length – 4 outs of 5 stars
A long playthrough (more than 40 hours) but one that can be tedious at times.
Conclusion
A rich gameplay but also some tedious missions, a plot which promises so much and delivers so few, MGSV is as impressive as it leaves you unsatisfied. A good game, but one difficult to understand. Could it be Kojima’s last mystery?
“plot which promises so much and delivers so few”
🙁
No Solidus, Grey Fox, Naomi…. SOLID SNAKE?…. WORSE! NO HAYTER!
The reality though, is that it doesn’t matter what anyone gives this game. Crimsonfox and Yong have had a wonderful time playing the game because it’s something they love and are really interested in. Though reviews are nice, and speaking from an academic level, I love when videogames are taken seriously and spoken about in a deliberate manner, making realistic and constructive criticisms, if the game truly matters to you, then someone else’s opinion does not matter.
It’s weird when people get upset about reviews, too. Don’t worry, just play the game; if you think it looks terrific, then love that and own that and it won’t matter if someone else doesn’t like the way it looks. If you think it plays great, love that and own that because your experience is all that matters.
We’re all looking forward to this game so much, and we’re all going to be a little bias, but what is wrong with that? We are all waiting for a terrific experience, so let’s have one!
I’m sure we all already know what to think of TPP. For me it’s a masterpiece ;D.
But in a way, it is always nice to see a game you’re looking forward to getting great review scores. Although they are just opinions of people. Btw good comment :).
It is, I guess, but in the end, we’re not going to be reading reviews, we’ll be playing it! That’s what makes games so special! Even as someone new to making them, the idea is to want people to experience the game, not read or hear about it. We don’t really need MGS movies or anything because we get to live it.
The feelings of Snake(s) are so strong and so powerful because they are also ours, and that is something so special about games that make them unlike any other medium. The anti-war and anti-nuclear messages are so clear because we get to experience them. Even when we play as Big Boss, and we start getting caught up in the moment and enjoy performing his actions, we can’t help but take a step back now and again and look at what we’ve done. MGS3 changed the narrative by not only talking about how many people we killed like in MGS1, but by actually showing it to the player, and not letting him escape that pseudo-reality. That’s what makes games (and MGS,especially) so wonderful and special. It’s great to see something you love get recognition, but it’s even greater to be able to live those moments.
Some of the greatest moments of my life were in videogames. I have had great experiences traveling, working, playing, even being in love, but to me videogames can be an extension of real life the same way films or books can. You remember every adventure like it was your own, and I love that.
There should be an official MGI review for MGS V.
Hell yeah who better than hardcore fans
A collective review? if that is what you mean, lol. Sounds like a great idea, but would be hard to do, and the smaller opinions and points might be swallowed up and lost, I know I will be in the minority when it comes to certain things, and wouldn’t want any thoughts or decisions of mine to be lost, lol.
That being said I don’t really write reviews or anything, I believe forms of art and entertainment should be held on a more personal and heartfelt level and should not be brought down to a simple statistical level for easy consumption for others. I guess in a way I’m against any sort of review or “scoring” of a game period. The points of a game and its story should not be leveled and graphed statistically and should not always be compared and judged to other games, these manufactured opinions formed out of not taking a piece of art seriously or not letting yourself fully immerse or understand it, stem from what people have created inside their head from reading so many reviews and categorizing games into convenient slots so they don’t actually have to understand or enjoy it.
There was a point in the past where I was fine with the concept of reviews, but I know a few people whom think themselves greater then everyone else and everything they read on the internet (as long as they are the ones that find it) is fact, and after spending time with these sorts of people and hearing their thoughts on a game, show, or movie I see them clearly judging it as if it was a review and they don’t even bother to understand the heart or good telling of the story as they are to bogged down in the industrialization of their opinion of art pieces.
We’ll see
“We’ll see”
*Puts his picky finger to his lips*
Or let’s just do it as a poll. People post their scores out of 10 and it will make an aggregate of some kind to give it a percentage. Like, an average score for this site.
well i won’t judge the game on this review. will wait for ign and other big reviewers.They fucked up with by giving 4/5 for game’s length
pls dont wait for IGN or Gamespot. Those sellouts would really hang up a game on 1 simple mistake.
they both gave 10/10 for mgs 4. ı trust them for mgs 🙂
Now I don’t trust either, 🙁 only my opinion fits my opinion, lol.
Not even them, the only 3 opinions about MGSV that matter, at least to me, are Chris Stuckmann, Jeremy Jhans and YongYea!
Only Trust the opinion which are from our brothers of MGI… the rest are sellouts to generate as much clicks as possible by being controversial.
Next time think before you open your mouth, because Chris Stuckmann is a “Humongus” Metal Gear Fan, and he is also really professional, so don’t you dare repeat that!
I’m talking about general review sites IGN, Gamespot, EDGE etc… not those guys
Glad you clarified it!
You! I like you!
Huh? [ ! ]
That was a “I agree with you” reply 😀
don’t give a fuck about anyones review except your own.
well you should wait and actually play the game on your own to form an opinion 😉
i will in 10 days 🙂
https://yeahwhathesaid.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/agreed.gif
I’m sure the story will be excellent brother. Don’t let first review crush your hype.
Don’t dishearten. Just remember MGSV is the connection between Peace Walker & original Metal Gear, the story will feel incomplete if you are not a fan of metal gear. That’s why i always say to people to please play peace walker and original metal gear or at least read the story for both.
Sound – 4 out of 5 stars
A lot of tracks from the 80s and a nice sound ambiance.
I always wonder, what would it take to be 5 out of 5? I mean they say they like it. I’m not a kid of the 80s (tho i was born in the 80s :P) but the music form the 80s is freaking great. As far as sound effects go; I i hope they played it with surround sound to make this a viable statement.
Ah geez…I start to defend a game that isn’t even released yet :/
It sounds like the reviewer didn’t understand the story very well.
I wonder if he had played the previous games.
Sometimes the scores don’t make any sense when not explained well. How is 40h+ story 4/5 lol? But will be 10/10 definitely to me :).
Yeah this is where they messed up. How could you give this game’s length 4/5 right?
İ just found out they gave 20/17 for mgs 4 too 🙂 i dont think we should take this review seriously because the embargo lifts on sunday
May be he is not a fan for the series or genre as stealth games are generally tedious due to patience required. Just look at Hitman and Thief games
Well, i haven’t plathed the game obviously, but i think it is clear here that whoever reviewed the game is not, in any way or form, obsessed (and i mean that in the best way possible) like we are. For me, this series became interesting when i saw trailers for GZ. Then i played all the games before it released, and im am so intensely hyped for TPP like i have never been for a game before. I can only imagine how excited all you longtime fans are at this point. So when some reviewer is complaining about the length of the game, or too many gameplay options (wtf?) i am not the least bit worried. This game is going to be amazing!
They gave Ground Zeroes a 16 out of 20 and for TPP 17? Gimme a break…
nobody cares about this review dont worry 🙂
It looks like the reviewer is not a fan of the series or hasn’t played other games…
Ground Zeroes was disappointing. Not just the length of it, but the poor controls, AI and the whole non Metal Gear feel to it. TPP looks and I’m sure will feel like the old MGS, only 100 times better.
Poor controls o_O?
Sticky cover system and weapon swapping is just too fiddly. Camera also a huge issue for me and most folks. They have addressed them in TPP. You can clearly see it in the demos. Also from early previews.
LOL it seems they wanted to write some weakness of this game but they couldn’t find it.
Have you seen this Play Arts “Mantis” The 3rd Child figure? Pretty awesome.
https://www.hlj.com/product/enx32290
Nice! Sadly I don’t have room for those little gold nuggets 🙁
Looks like the mask can come off. Wonder who it reveals? An Eli(Big Boss) clone? No wonder it has a November release date. It could be the ultimate spoiler. Or just me shit talking.
september son september the month during which i was born
I’m such an addict… At work right now and i have nothing better to do in my 30 minute break than check MGI. Sep 1. come here already and release me from the pain!
Haha ;D,it’s the same for me every day at work comrade. But only 1 work day left and then my vacation starts omg XD… just relaxing and waiting the last days for TPP … Almost here!
At work one tab always open for MGI for me.. My Boss even knows I love Metal Gear, and I have converted him to love MG also hence no issue for me 🙂
Amazing work soldier :)!
Lol, right? I do that on EVERY ONE of my breaks. Lol. >. <
just noticed this at the bottom of the article..
“The embargo lifts on August 23rd. Expect a lot more then.”
Well if anyone knows what ign.. is like they we have already revealed every single bit of info an secrets by the sept 1st..lol ( no joke )
🙂
They’ll gonna make whole walk-through available by then 🙁
i just noticed with ign over the years… if its out it the us, movies games etc… lets spoil everything, stuff the rest of the world 🙂
Yeah they do it for the clicks.. and there comment is a war-zone among PS4 and XONE users
hahahahaha very true…
I’ve made the mistake of keeping an RSS feed of IGN, they add spoilers to their headings as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lozxq9CtrqE
Need more phatom CIgar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5PT2fmTpV0
you need to see this video!! i found when i search a cover (e___e) to me is a goood fan trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09vM-RAqr4I This one is also really good xD
this a good video XD thanks for shared it, reminds me 80´
The guides are already available for purchase…and people are buying it. Why is the guide released before the game!!??
Btw about the first french review posted below. I mean how does that dude be able to review it. The others who are gonna write about TPP are still playing at the bootcamp, right? It just feel like a rushed review, so not trusting it at all :P.
Doesn’t the embargo lift on Sunday? I’ll wait for the real and detailed ones.
There is a real possibility of breaking the embargo.. also as the games has been distributed to the shops, i fear leaks are imminent
Hmm I see, guess my brain didnt think of that lol. But I still rather wait for Gamespot stuff etc. Always liked it more than IGN.
I sense another 10 either from IGN or Gamespot. Oh another screenshot from Kojima new trailer..
most reviewers get a non-finished(reviewer) version of the game some time before the release….but still,i dont trust the review
Well that is mostly the case with EA and Ubisoft games…CD Projekt and Kojima Production companies are two companies i know who are confident enough to release reviews very early.
You’re right, damn lol why didn’t I think of that. :3
Of course not every reviewer might be at the bootcamp…XD
Not trust them either when they gave watchdog a good score
http://i.4cdn.org/v/1440076433607.jpg
“Not trust them either when they gave watchdog a good score”
I think I’m gonna be sick.
5/5 for Graphics for Watchdogs!!. I think the reviewer reviewed the 2013 PC trailer not the released game.
yeah… french reviewer gives a french game a 19/20 but a japanese concurrent only gets 17/20. by the way they rated TPP 4/5 stars in all 4 terms. end result: 4×4=17
so much for that.
https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/634362804091260928
And soon the trailer shall be free :D.
Holy shit!
Love that angry look on his face and the graphics/lighting <3…..
OMG, Big boss gonna eat you alive
The last Kojima-made trailer… 🙁
….
That’s the pic of a man just before he kills you…
Aye…better not make him angry!…
Too late 0_0
Well better get back to banging my head against the wall…*bang*…damn wait…*bang*
I wonder what song he will choose for the last trailer :D…
Still listening to this every day…beautiful song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LY3ftiLqmE
When is the trailer. I’m assuming this weekend sometime
I believe it release during the weekend too.
I hope before the review embargo lifts…
Yeah definitely. That’s probably their plan. The last trailer and then spoilers left, right and centre
With Greg Miller leading the charge.
It’s very Ennio Morricone like. A great piece of music.
judging from the new screenshot im guessing this one….
(Oh-oh, here he comes)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzJoWR1Vu80
Haha
I think it will be this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_izvAbhExY&list=PLC90FB71F6ECE17F3&index=9
awwwww shit…this song,i want it in MGSV soooo much…i can imagine countless scenarios for this song to be played 😀
Will be epic XD !
well he said something about the trailer not being a hollywoody-bigbudget trailer … so probably a more tame and emotional song ? , i wish it was Diamond dogs by david bowie lol.
The man who sold the world, probably!
Yep, repeat function is very useful for a man like me 😉
this song is dark as fuck! a perfect choice by kojima for his trailer.
With the brightness increased on the new launch trailer shot you can truly see demon Big Boss.
DISCLAIMER: May induce nightmares.
Not THAT! scary. Although his eye is a bit creepy. Imagine being an enemy soldier on a nice sunny morning and then turning to see him in the bushes glaring at you.
regan mc neil is much more scary.DONT PUT HER PHOTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(im sure youll do it!)
Can’t believe it. 11 days after 4 years of waiting… Getting that CE in my hands on the 1st. I’m getting skeptical that I’ll actually play it…
Half of the day you’ll be trying to convince your self whether the box is real or hallucination 🙂
Yeah probably. Sit it in the passenger seat and an crash looking at it blinking my eyes.
It’s 10 days if you live in the west. Not including the release day itself.
Nice
1PM on the 31st for me.
i may be stupid but i still dont understand how the diferte time zones works, i mean, why did you get it early if you live in the west? i don’t live i the west but i just check the psn and said that the game will be available 12Am on pacific time, that means that i’ll get it like 2:30 AM so i’ll have to wait more … pleas esomeone can explain this to me?
dont be sceptical just….. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xvDf9Kyp_DI/VXq0pwy4O8I/AAAAAAAAL3M/YmPcc2wzgUo/s640/shia-labeouf-just-do-it-green-background.gif
Hahaha omg. Ahh that’s better. I’m gonna do it now
That’s never getting old.
5 years since Peace Walker. 7 years since MGS 4. It has been a very painful long coma for us all. We know how BB feels (If he even is the real BB)
IF
I just have this sick feeling in my gut all day. He better not be a clone.
I hope not either but hope it works if he is.
If he is a clone then we get Solid, Liquid, Solidus, Venom…. only remains in the game is Original BB wakes up finds a door in which there are lines of BB clone in test chambers and we kill them one by one.
Ooooooooo… That’ll be sick
*VOMITS*
Your psyche has depleted considerably….
Pass me some Regain 24.
That’s when the She’s A Man Eater song comes on.
“He’s a snake eater”- venom rigging up C4
Stop reminding me I’m Old :[
I’m old myself.
Why has nobody asked the important questions!
Like how can I get one of those MGI shirts!! LOL
Nyx, really though. I really want one!!
I’ll buy one too
Ill take one!
So Greg Miller tweeted a while back after we got the Q&A, that his Lets Play TPP which comes on Sunday “skips the hospital part and that is added after launch. Won’t play past Mission 5. Game is huge, won’t contain spoilers…”
Mission 5…so much things can happen in that time maybe and it’s up to every person what they think of what’s a spoiler. I will skip it definitely :P. Just no point watching the videos every weekday, when launch is so close. Would be best to just read his review instead of this. I just pray to God that websites won’t get bombed with nuke-spoils.
Greg Miller can go fuck himself. That click baiting troll. It’s still spoiler filled. Kaz rescue mission being a prime example.
I want to know more aboutblodd diamons involvement in the game but it won’t be in fat guys lets play tu the problem with this is w he will injure people indirectly.people who are too impatient !
😉
I know right? LOL
Here we go.. Spoil the game for the whole world just to get clicks…
Yeah, not reading IGN’s reviews since they have a tendency to do that *Old Snake whooping cough* Arkham Knight *cough cough*
The reason for not watching the video for me beside spoilers is that you start to develop strategy well in advance while looking at the video and when you are playing the game you are just recalling it not making real time decisions..
I’m not skipping it since journalists are aaying no groundbreaking spoilers between 2 and 6 .we see the metal gear in 6 though
From the previews before E3, I think Missions 3, 4 and 5 will not have any story cutscenes/spoilers. You do the missions and that’s it. haha
Mission 1 and 2 are definite spoilers! haha
But yeah, best to avoid the whole playthrough altogether! I want to experience everything on my own. 🙂
I’ll definitely watch Kojima’s last trailer though!
so i can assume that mission 6 is a highly important moment in the story? Spoiler!
Yes, the previewers that played Mission 6 before E3 said it had some major story spoilers.
Also the area you infiltrate in Mission 6, reminded them of a place from the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark” haha.
Hey guys! Someone posted a picture with all the GZ special recruitable soldiers some days ago. I put the like on the post and than forgot to save the image 🙁 I was going for a little check about who I rescued but couldn’t find the picture again. Could someone share this again? Thanks 😉
Here it is again! haha
Extraction List
Mission: Ground Zeroes – 7 Total
1. Chico
2. The four other POWs in Camp Omega, next to Chico
3. POW about to be executed (After rescuing Chico, interrogate guards to find his location in the refugee camp)
4. Paz
Mission: Eliminate the Renegade Threat – 4 Total
1. Glaz “The Eye”
2. Palitz “The Finger”
3. Two POWs in Camp Omega, same location as Chico
Mission: Intel Operative Rescue – 1 Total
1. Hideo Kojima (Complete the Mission)
Mission: Classified Intel Acquisition – 2 Total
1. Intel Agent (Signal him, then knock him out and extract him)
2. Bald Soldier (Ride the truck to the front gate, then head to the room beside where Paz was being held. Interrogate first.)
Mission: Destroy the Anti-Air Emplacements – 4 Total
1. POW in the Boiler Room, same location as Paz
2. Three POWs in Camp Omega, same location as Chico
Thank you man! 🙂
Hey man, love the breakdown!! Would you know if you rescue the same prisoners over again they keep adding to your mother base??
I read somewhere these special units can be transferred once….
Ahh.. What a bummer if its the fact.. Guess wait and see
They can only be transferred once I think.
Here you go comrade..
There it is! Thanks 🙂
Since we are just over a week away from launch, i was wondering what everyones Audio setup is? Headset like Astros/turtlebeaches etc or Headphone with Amp/DAC/modmic for PS4/Xbox/PC. Hows everyone prepairing for there missions!!
Surround sound for everything Metal Gear!!!
I’d love to have everything surround sound lol.. My house shakes too much waken up the oldies.. So i’ll most likely be stuck with cans d-.-b
Pioneer 7.1 cinema surround receiver for me. Uncompressed sound of course.
I run my PS4 through the same stereo setup as my turntables, using type 4 speaker cables and Denon SC-CX303 Cherry bookshelf-size speakers. They look small, but they sound really really nice and are wonderful for everything from jazz to MGS.
I have studio monitor headphones but the cord is jacked so I have been using iPhone ear buds. 🙁 can’t wake the kids or wife as my usual playtime is late night or early morning
Btw anyone know if I can use PS4 controller with PC? I’ve used Xbox controller so far, but I’d like to switch if possible. I know… I could search from google but I’m way too lazy to do that :(.
Yeah, there are many ways to do it. One of the easiest one is to install the motioninjoy driver for your PS4 controller, other is using a program to map out your button setup but you’ll have to do a little work. So depends how lazy you’re feeling lol
Thanks :D. I’ll try that motionjoy.
Any reason using the PS4 controller? X-360 and XONE controller works fine.
Here we go! >. <
I’m asking because, if he is using Win 10 or going to move later there may be driver issues later due to speed of updates Microsoft is doing to OS.
Ah. Makes sense. I was bracing for fan boy in pact for no reason. Phew
Ha Ha. No fanboy here. Just worried for the comrade, to have the best experience possible.
Different strokes for different folks. that simple
Motion joy is pretty easy to use, but I’ve only tried it with the playstations ds3 controller.
I was wary about it at first, but the PS4 controller has turned into my favorite controller so far. It’s incredibly comfortable and easy to use. Jumping back to a PS3 controller after a while is tough, but I know that any third-party PS3 controller works with PC right out of the box. I don’t know what the current landscape is for after-market or third-party PS4 controllers, but that might not be a bad place to look.
Motion joy is pretty easy to use, but I’ve only tried it with the playstations ds3 controller.
Just askin but what is the song you hate the most! I fuckin hate feminazis but blurred lines sucks I prefer the Martin Gaye version!
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CM2Djy6UAAASKU0.jpg
Saw it on kojimas twitter LOL
Looking at the poster I wish we can have an Escape from L.A film as MGS movie is still in limbo and looks like it would remain in it for foreseeable future.
LOL, that is the head from the PA Kai figure! aaahhaha
Bad ass, would definitely be seeing that.
PS has to at least be produced, with a heavy hand, by Kojima-san.
“Right now, crimsonfox (who has been contributing to this website as a moderator) is at the Konami studio in Los Angeles on behalf of Metal Gear Informer, getting his hands on the full version (missing only the ending) of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.”
Wait a minute, does that mean Nyxus and the moderators for MGI had the opportunity to go to LA to play TPP as well?? But only crimsonfox could go because he was the only one that was able to?
I was unable to go which make me sad, would’ve been great honor ;). But soon get to play…
Crimsonfox did a fantastic job. That’s enough I think… Sadly I could not go to the event, for some reason, but… MGSV is soon and crimsonfox’s fantastic Q&A is here. 😀
Cheers.
Yeah, no problems. I was just wondering, that’s all. 🙂
I’m happy at least one of the members of MGI was able to go! 😀
Crimsonfox’s Q&A was great and had no spoilers.
Apparently crimson fox is now awake, do any of the moderators know if there will be another Q&A today?
I haven’t heard anything of other Q&A.
Thanks 😉
Np ;), not sure if Golgari or Nyxus know better.
The wait is killing us all 😛 but it’s nice that a situation like a game launch can unite and move people like this, i also had september vacation plans but… i was “forced” to anticipate a week early, still on Sept. 1st i’ll be at home…
Anyone got the Golden Joystick Book about Metal Gear Solid? I just opened it and read the first pages, it was a recap of what happened at MGS3. As a Fan I just had to facepalm myself when i read what they wrote.
Apparently the Virtuous Mission happened in 1963 and not 1964 and Snake didn’t need just a week to recover from his injuries but 1 year…lol (by that time the Volgin would probably have a whole army of Shagohods xD) and oh yeah, he had to bring back the Shagohod, not destroy it (probably by using the Fulton-System :D)
I know thats just some “small” Details, but that still bothers me, its just not correct and proves to me that they didn’t read their own writings :/ I hope this was the only mistake they made, a book about something should be correct in every detail and not wrong like this one.
It doesn’t mean they didn’t read it, it means they didn’t play the game.
True that, but that would be even more sad
Is this golden joystick book series usually good? I’ve never heard of it
So far its pretty cool, tells you a lot of the game and Kojima himself, only the mistakes I wrote about are a little..not okay 😀 I paid like 20€ for it which is a okay price for over 145 Pages.
So if that’s how they recap the beginning of MGS3, I wonder how they describe the whole of MGS2…
Well so far they wrote that Snakes Mission at the Tanker was to destroy the Metal Gear, which is wrong because his mission was just to take Photos of it. Also they write that Raidens Son was captured by the patriots…
Squeeee!
::claps hands excitedly like a five year old::
Lol 1 week to recover.. Did they also write it was the work of Nano machines for speedy recovery 🙂
What do you mean? He really just needed one Week to recover, well to recover enough to make the Snake Eater Mission 😀 They wrote he needed one year, which wasn’t right. Or did I understand you wrong? 😀
Yeah one week to recover enough to go on another mission, Big Boss was a bit of a mess during Snake Eater, lol.
And he still managed to take out the Cobra Unit, the Boss, Volgin, a nuclear Tank and survive a torture 😀 And that just with one eye (not most of the time, but the hardest parts :P)
Also Kojima tweeted this of his trailer: (not sure was this posted)
“I’m making a new trailer for MGS series fans. It’s not a Hollywoody big budget pre-rendered one but it’ll be “hand made” w/ sweet memories.”
Mmmmm sweet memories :)…
Kojima should write a book^^
I think he should write a mgs comic book that shinkawa could illustrate
That would cost a fortune tho :O
Yeah.. and in it the pages would be empty.. in the end it will be written.. Nothing till now which you have seen is real, Author: Cipher/Patriots
Crying like a bitch here. *Snifle*
*Flood of tears* SNAAAKE EAAATERRR!
A French review of TPP has leaked and been translated. You can find the info on this board (do some scrolling and you’ll see it) TAKE THESE SPOILERS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1098935&page=100000
god im so allergic to that word “spoiler”
I always get a rash from it.
Well I’m addicted to it lol you don’t have to click, and even if you do, you don’t have to believe it’s real. Although I read some other spoilers on the same thread that might have ruined some things
“safety first” (^_^)
I hate that they had to break the review embargo. Why can’t people just wait until they’re supposed to review it? 🙁
Well if it’s any consolation they gave the game 4/5 across a 4 part metric and came up with 17 as their final score (4×4 doesn’t equal 17)
😀 Bonus Points because they haven’t played 40hours 😛 just wanna get ad revenue and generate clicks
they’re also the site that gave Watch Dogs a 19/20, and from what I understand the reviewer never played MGS before, so I’m taking it all with a grain of salt. YongYea and Crimsonfox’s stuff seems more legit to me at this stage.
Wahhh!!. I just read spoilers….People have no heart why they do this
I didn’t mislead you did I?
Well I stopped after the first line 🙂
Ok ;3
Just found this 😉
Saw the same thing a few comments below without the shitty upper left hand tag
It’s been put here before by Gatsu but still nice to see it again
Yeah i just saw it below 🙁
Don’t worry, it’s still a cool poster and deserves a like ;).
Thanks gatsu 🙂 i just saw in facebook and copy and paste here right away
That was literally posted a few comments below xD
I guess the new Fox logo in the corner just went over everyone’s head.
That logo is pasted on, it’s not even from the OP, you can tell by the low resolution
Digital copy unlocks for me at 10 pm, so I had to buy it! that’s a full 11 hours before my collectors edition is ready to pick up! And I got the theme. Win-win
Same here (although it’s 11 pm)
I had to break up with my girlfriend. She loved me more than anything and is emotionally childish, and we were just too different. No ones fault. But as I was doing it and thinking about it prior I couldn’t help but to connect myself with big boss. What I did was terrible, I hurt her so much, but I know in my heart it was the right thing to do. Just like big boss. So while playing tpp I will constantly connecting myself to him. I connected with him in snake eater too lol It’s f*cked up to say, but I think it will make my game experience better. lol
Your kidding of course. Who would pass up some kutje for TPP?
Everyone!!!!!
Sorry Ryan…
I will def have more SILENCE for tpp! lol No sorries, it’s always a good thing when a bad relationship ends.
You’ll also have more time for TPP, tpp doesn’t need you to shave or buy it flowers, it just wants your time and effort
But TPP only offers brotherly love. What about love love?
I do not know this “love love” of which you speak
I only know that I spent 500 hours playing battlefield in highschool and maybe 5 hours doing homework
Trust me, when you are in “that” type of relationship, you would be amazed how long you can go without that “love”. Just take one for the team… Call it, the champagne of victory.
I miss woman so much :’/
Don’t worry mate, your hand will support you in your solo moments….by holding the controller while playing Tpp 😉
Won’t stop hurting, is like she’s still there?
Welcome back to the land of the living! I know what it’s like to be in a dead-end relationship. I’m glad we ended it and we are better people than we were together. Plus all the extra cash and time to play games is mind boggling.
My other half is already well aware of TPP coming out and the fact il be bashing the bejesus outa it, but its all good coz she will be playing it on my laptop beside me (yup, gamer-girl gf…and she loves MGS just as much as me…im living the life… except when shes kicking my ass in 2player)
O.K. I jumped to conclusions. Did you love her?
haha yeah i love her, just love mgs a wee bit more… (i havent said that to her coz id prob be picking my teeth up off the floor haha)
and jumping to conclusions? did you post another message before this and delete it? or have i read your reply wrong?
The fukk is wrong with you?
No offense, is just a Game, what you did is just, idiot.
Yes, I also connected to Snake in MGS3, but I didn’t let that affect the way I treat people, I didn’t hurt anyone.
Again, what the hell?!
I didn’t break it off because of tpp. That would be ridiculous. I broke it off because we were different, and it made me think of tpp and big boss. That’s all I was saying lol
Chill. If he wasnt happy, theres no reason to stay in a bad relationship. he didnt do it because of the game.
I couldn’t agree more. I had a nice relationship, she was my first girlfriend, everything was nice until october, 2014. She left me because she felt lonely, and she was right, I was thinking on myself, it was my fault. Nowdays she’s dating a guy from the university, and I felt sad but totally angry, because i still love her. The point is that i thought the same, maybe MGSV will help me, I felt like Big Boss somehow, all the pain. You’re not alone buddy, let’s have our revenge!
Shit, I’ve been going through something similar. The similarities are stunning.
Last year, I had something special going on with someone I really loved and valued. Then, just out of the blue she turns her back on me. Our late night conversations went away, our lunches together basically stopped, she just got rid of me. Like how The Boss did to Naked Snake in MGS3. And things just went lower and lower from that point on. I never had so many feelings for someone in my life when that happened. I was fucking devastated. I didn’t want to leave my room at all. Not to work, not to spend time with friends, not to do anything for a long while. She left me and gave up on whatever we had established.
Then, a few months after I found somebody else. Nothing real special happened between me and this other person, but she at least made me feel good. Helped keep the awful mess that happened with the other woman out of my mind. But things were actually going well and progressing. Until I saw her for her true colors. Similarly to how Paz showed her true colors at the end of Peace Walker. I thought what she’s uncovered to me wasn’t a big deal, and would probably change over time. But oh boy, I was wrong. She turned against me just like how the previous woman did, took me for whatever love, attention, or nights out I had to give. The day she turned against me pretty much made me feel like whatever feelings I had to give (or mother base I had established inside myself), had just crumbled…
I haven’t found anybody else since. Never really bothered to, I suppose. I spent the past year or so smoking away phantom cigars, one at a time. Watching those hoes smother whatever happiness they now have with another man in my face. Literally. Seeing them try to make me look like the black sheep in front of everybody they know. They’ve made me look like a monster. No wonder why I lost touch with some people.
Now, here I am. A week away from getting my hands onto The Phantom Pain. I’ve been waiting for this game for 5 years. I have never anticipated a video game’s release so much in my entire life. This is huge for me. I grew up with this series, these characters…. They almost feel like something that’s been with me my whole life. To top it off, I am going to the midnight release for the game with my best friend, and I’m going to stay up all night playing this bad boy.
I know it’s stupid to still be upset about what has happened last year, but these people had a huge impact on my life, how I viewed right and wrong, how I viewed myself. And just the fact the one wants to continue rubbing it in, or making me look bad, just makes moving on from it worse. That one deserves the revenge I still have yet to give. I have no idea what kind of revenge I could give at a time like now. But once I finally play Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, it shall be known. Maybe Big Boss can help me put the pieces together….
I know just how you feel! Isn’t it weird and kind of cool how much we can relate to some video game characters? And people say video games have no good purpose.
I know, right? Big Boss will always be one of my favorite fictional characters.
Yeah, I hate when people dismiss video games in general as something to “promote violence” or stupid bull like that. Because to me personally, Metal Gear is like a book series or movie series in a way. Captivating story, great characters, and a fun gameplay to back it up with. I play games such as these for a reason. Games like Call of Duty, or ones that primarily focus on the online aspects is what give games today a bad name. With all the beef that goes on by competitive online play and such…….. Still. It isn’t right to dismiss games like Metal Gear as bad because they are simply a video game.
This from Kojima’s Twitter, a screenshot from his new trailer. It looks dark, very dark, and I love the dark theme!
its not just dark… everything its illuminated by a bright white with the only contrast (besides a pipe) being a snake in shadows, almost defiant against the piercing white.
A demon.
I meant dark themed not lighting, I knew I shouldn’t have worded it like that lol
then i agree lol
Well he’s using lighting to the idea across so yeah.
thank you for answering the questions people asked :).
That is one menacing looking Boss!
August 20, 2015
Sorry! I couldn’t get the duplicate image to delete… xD
It’s alright haha XD
OK, IMHO this is the best fan-made trailer for TPP so far, say what you will about PythonSelkan, but I recommend EVERYONE to see this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeqzYIX2Uy4
Anyone else been passing the time with Fallout Shelter?
I’ve been playing the mgsv gz mother base mini game with the hope that some of the mechanics made it into the final game
I was playing that for a long time until this month, I got a new phone and lost everything lol
That happened to me when i switched from ps3 to 4
Have I got spoiled? Someone said some spoilers a while ago on this topic and his comment got deleted.. what I read was legit spoilers or what? :(((((((((((((((((((((( he said venom snake is *****
i don’t kown what you read but you better stay away from everything that has the line ‘metal gear’ in it. that also goes for this page. it’s just natural that a this point in time the spoiler potential is very high.
I know what your talking about. How would anyone know if it was legit?
Idk, but when i read it my heart almost stopped, i don’t want that experience again. i’m sad to say this guys but this might be my last appearance here till MGSV releases. Sayonara.
Might be? lol, ok than.
See you on the other side ( ‘ ‘ )7
“he said venom snake is *****” also any spoiler that absurd I wouldn’t even take seriously, lol, media black out is a good idea, but don’t worry about the spoiler, if it turns out to be true SURPRISE! but if it isn’t SURPRISE! as well, the point being we really don’t know so either way it really can’t be a spoiler. Again it sounds stupid, ignore it, lol.
Everybody calm down.. Noone has beaten the Game yet. All spoilers are fake
I’m not sure if that french reviewer wanted to be edgy and controversial and try to find flaws in TPP where there were none and tried to be cynic because that was the hipster thing to do but, the consensus is that the game is the best MGS EVER!!
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=176055318&postcount=622
I read those French asshole reviewers.
First: the game has 2 endings like peace walker ( this is not a spoiler it was preatty obvious) . This guy whine about the game do not resolve his questions and he didn’t even unlocked the true story behind mgsv
Second: graphics 4 Star? Wtf this game has 60fps on consoles is huge difference that other games
Gpu on consoles are preatty week. Sorry to say but is the reality. Having a game at 60fps on 1080p is a miracle of k.p and looks amazing since gz. This guy’s doesn’t even know what he’s talking
Third: they didn’t even finish all the side missions ( wow really good professional review right?
And 4 back in 2007 they give metal gear solid 4 an 8.5
I hate to see stupid journalism like this. They win money and didn’t even do their job right
they didnt say its perfect because it isnt. nothing is, its a hypothetical thing that major outlets give to games with big followings to make everyone happy. they might take their metric seriously. Alot of the stuff you said you cant back up either because nobody has seen the game except media
Mgs1 – 10/10
Mgs2 – 9/10
Mgs3 – 9.5/10
Peace Walker 9/10
Mgs4 8/10
Is that your reviews or Their reviews ?
its my opinion !
wtf. So you are one behind this review XD
haha nope ! : p
I’m not mad about the score. I’m mad their review is not complete . Is not professional . They go full rush just to gave their review faster and this is not how you work as a professional journalist . All games are 10 for me is their own way
Do we even know that its the published review in full? it could be a leaked rough draft
They already gave wierd scores to AAA amazing games . The review is real
I dissagree. I think 8.5 is a really high score. for some reason 10 means its great and 7 means average in this day and age. I personally think 10 is a hypothetical perfect score, something nothing will ever achieve, but gets handed out to games with big fan bases for clicks. They might just be non biased and have journalistic integrity.
So you think a 8.5 review without side – missions without the true ending and rushing all the game just to finish the main story line is a good review? ok whatever . i’m talking about facts
You arent talking about facts because all of this is speculation.
You are the scpetical here . they have a good amount of history records of their reviews . Is not speculation they gave that score with preatty much nothing finish in the game . I read all the article with a friend who speak french. If you don’t like what im saying no problem. But come at me talking about facts
Speculation: the forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence.
played mgsv? No? Ok, were done here.
haha you don’t what you are talking about . I’know more than you think and this is review is 100% BS . see ya
“Your argument reminds me the scene when big boss forced a diamong dog to stab him” so please stop arguing over a review.. We all get to play TPP and we will decide on our own. A review cannot and must not take away from anyone the pleassure of playing the last game of the saga ; ) its been 3 long years waiting and we r so close ! peace : )
Even still I love picking sides on my mind but not saying anything unless someone gets under my skin.
plz show me the facts, ive been looking for spoilers
This are the same Guys who made the preview, Yong yea was talking and they complain about the most silly things . Seems everyone forget about it . Do more research before typing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZInpN4yx3K4
i agree with you for 1-3.. Mgs4 was not good.. it had 2-3 incredible moments but not that good overall
The gameplay in 4 was amazing though, the rebel system, different forms of camouflage, the multiple routes through maps. For 2008 it was pretty revolutionary.
i agree.. but
not much gameplay
plot was absolutely ridiculous.. as i said 2-3 incredible moments intresting concepts but not that great overall.
The game is average lengh for mgs, with options that give you more replayability and more possibilities for a longer campaign. I think the shadow moses level alone has 2 to 3 pretty damn good moments, the only game at the time with a more complex weapon customization system was ghost recon future soldier (feel free to correct me) and that game looked like dookie.
your verdict for mgs4?
prolly 8.5 in 2015
(graphics and sound aside), 9 in 2008. Fan service as hell, but if your just joining the party and suspend disbelief, its a pretty wacky and yet emotional ride. I also watched all the cut-scenes before i played the game so i could skip them at my leisure because 8 hours of cut-scenes is ridiculous.
The camouflage system was ruined by the free octo-camo cheat of a system.
Olso graphics even after 7 years game looks amazing
The graphics are a stone cold fact. Giving it less than 5 stars renders the rest of their review pointless as they can’t wrap their heads around simple facts let alone the subjective nature of a game review.
Exactly dude . Where did you see games running at 1080p 60fps on these days ? Where did you see face caption with AAA actors who feels alive . Graphics are not just nice shadows . Graphics make the world alive and Tpp is breath living world . This are facts like you said . This review has so much incoherence
Even the PC version has high end graphics, lol.
Now we just need to wait those feminist journalist hating Quiet boobs or violence . Rating 7/10 too much Skin XD
Those kind of people can’t write reviews, just slander and hate pieces.
I truely feel this will be one of my true last games. After Tpp i will shill out and wait for new things quietly . Videogaming industry is changing for the worst. Developers are afraid to make their games as they want due to the bad media and extremist People who are waiting to destroy their ideas . Why the hell we need to close our minds for people like this ? Kojima believe in videogames as Art and other believes in Money .
Yeah, lol, don’t get me started on the current industry, lol, I used to play a lot of games, but I play much less now.
The review isnt what i would expect of a tripple a game, i expect kotaku, ign, yong, mgi, the internet to have very long, very detailed reviews. Honestly it felt either like a thesis, a rough draft, or maybe a blurb in some posh magazine.
Watchdogs 19/20 by JeuxVideo Magazine.
Mgsv : The phantom pain 17/20 haaaaaaaaaaahahhahahahahaah . Seems legit
hahahahaha I knew they had Zero credibility. What a joke of a Magazine
watchdogs got a 18
No offence but anybody buying a game for review scores is a complete dumbass and joaquin’s post prove my point
LOL who cares about reviews. Everything that has come from respected media outlets have been nothing but good impressions about the game and here comes this one guy who we need to point out is the odd man out.
I’m with you but i care from the standpoint of MgsV marketing with the whole work by K.P. They do not deserve bad scores with no real Facts. MGS franchise is one of the most hated in the media too. We would play the game no matter what. But i feel that is perfectly correct grab the sword and chield and defend this shitty movements
Yeah, if you are to criticize or point out flaws, you can’t do it half heartily in a review, you have to know what you are talking about, and with reasons and facts behind it.
Do not forget this are the guys who made the preview we where talking about some weeks ago. The guy whine of Mother base – Side missions or the long trip with beautiful environment. This was the only journalist who made a “bad preview ” in that time . When i saw the review i was like ” ohh this guys XD “
I know but am talking about some idiots just lookin at the score and be like “hey random guy on internet play this game and gave a bad score so this means its a bad game” crap
See even in that case. If most of the reviews were to give a game a bad score, I would be careful if I’m going to spend money(which games are not cheap) on said game. But I agree with what you say, but I don’t think it applies here though. I’m sure here at MGI we’re buying the game even if it tells mama jokes to our face. We’re getting it.
They didnt give it a bad score though.
Keep defending brother ! . Watch dogs is a masterpiece lol
yeah they shat on mgsv… they also gave watchdogs a 16, then an 18 in a redaction
Did you work there ? Why the lies lol.. I’m not taking you seriously anymore dude =)
19/20
http://www.jeuxvideo.com/jeux/jeu-79064/ I dont speak the language, i just know what redaction means
GOD dude this are other reviewers hhahahahahahahahh .oh dear
Im not sure what your point is. Other than mgsv cant get a lower score than a game you dont like and i have no understanding of french and that makes me ignorant, which im ok with
I’m not mad with you dude is all right . But if you want to argue with something do some research nothing more . You where wrong and is okey
I never implied you were mad. I implied you made a presumption and you are convinced its a fact, then you claimed they gave the game a poor review and i disagreed with partial missinformation
Yes it is watch dogs 19 and mgs 5 17…. am more fun with that ground zeroes than boring dogs game olso my point isn’t about score just like my other post said it problem is some people look at the score if its higher:omg its amazing epic win bro!! But its not noooo this game sucks its should be 2020 fail
It makes alot of sense if your not a metal gear fan. I can see coming into mgsv without any previous knowledge making it overwhelming. im not defending watchdogs
No it isn’t games are personal tastes my first mgs game was mgs4 and based on that site its only 85 but for me it was the best game on ps3 you should play yourself olso not only newcomers some people already be like no after all waiting this game must be good https://mobile.twitter.com/NkDragunov/status/634389984368271360
why did you say no, are you saying nobody can not enjoy mgsv?
No am just saying people give too much credit those critics and they think game is fail or masterpiece and no not talking about newcomers mgs fans too they already start complain just for some stupid french magazine score
I agree
Maybe, Kojima does make his games pretty isolated, you could play any MGS game without knowledge of the other games and you would be just fine, granted you would get more from them if you played the rest but that is simply icing on the cake, the games stand by themselves, even MGS4 (Though that one was designed to work with the other games unlike the rest of the MGS series).
But, and i think the community is proof of this, there are the fans of metal gear, and then there are people who have played a metal gear game and it just never clicked for them.
What do you mean “never clicked for them”?
the people who play mgs games and move on like its nothing special
That is just personal opinion of the people whom play the game.
Person plays MGS – Loves it – becomes a fan
Person plays MGS – thinks it’s meh – doesn’t become a fan
This process though has nothing to do with the isolated nature of Kojima’s MGS games, unless there is a connection I missed >.<
Yes. 90% of gamers who played metal gear solid games becomes fans . I’ve never meet a guy who play one and said is okay. Or you become a fan or you hated . There few few peoples in the middle
My point is that the people who like you say play the game isolated and have a good time are more than likely going to check out the other games in the series, and there is an equal chance of someone to just say its not for them and move on.
Oh, ok, agreed.
He thinks jeux video magazine is the same journalist as jeuxvideo and their are not but he would not listen friend
I never dissagreed with you about the magazine vs the website, I dont speak french and yes, thats how it works where i live. The game informer review in the magazine is usually the same on their website
He gave TPP a 17/20, that’s 85%! How is that a bad score? All his complaints are valid from the perspective of a non MGSV’s fan who in his preview article was very critical of the game, I thought he would give it 6 or 7 out of 10 based on his preview impressions, that alone must mean the game is great.
I don’t have a PS4 yet so I’ll probably get the game on PS3. I haven’t really been in touch with lots of stuff so I just wanted to ask.
Are the differences between cross-gen only graphical like resolution and FPS or are there any features cut from the PS3 version?
graphical, load times, higher possibility for crashes (Ok that last one might just be me, but my ps3 would crash playing some of the later games released in its life cycle, but it was from 2009 to 2014 and i didnt take the best care of her)
As far as I know, only graphical, don’t think there’s any difference whatsoever between the different versions of the game apart from visuals, control-scheme and pricetag 🙂
Nice, thanks! I don’t mind the graphical stuff and load times but I was worried it would have some big feature cut just like Dragon Age Inquisition did.
They said before that MGO in ps3 won’t feature 16 players , I believe it was an smaller number but I don’t remember the exact amount.
12 i believe it was
Just resolution ,FPS , draw distance , Graphics and in MGO instead of 16 players , i think is going to be around 10-12 . but in content is basically the same ,but expect less enemies soldiers and that kind of things
the only MAJOR difference will be FPS performance…everything else is pretty much the same 🙂
what makes me more happy about all of this is that it shows how much the site is growing. the difference between now and a couple of years ago is a lot. congratulations nyxus! and good for crimsonfox to get the chance to play a lot of the game earlier!
Yeah. ( ‘ ‘ )-b
Agreed! You´re finally getting rewarded for your good work!
This is awesome!
Where is cipher ?? Where is zero !!! XD
THE GUIDE HAS LEAKED ABANDON SHIP
https://twitter.com/batmariafg/status/634351863807275008
WTF is going on. This is pandemonium!!!! There’s just so much drama going on with this release I’m sitting here like……..Should I unplug my modem? Or should I read every little piece of news every hour of every day.
Leave it to people like me. i have gotten out of bed to bathroom and mow the lawn. If i get sore, i roll over and take my laptop or ipad with me
Ohhh no… Please keep MGI spoilerfree!
This is our heaven!!
And our hell.
There’s another
I would love to score the game with fiddles . The phantom pain 10/10 : The fiddling Master piece
So you´re saying the fiddle is the weapon to surpass metal gear…
Now things finally make sense to me ^^
beethoven Gear confirmed !!
LOL ^^ BEETHOVEN IS WITH CIPHER
I will only link to places where spoilers are found, never will i ruin this for someone. as for this dude in particular, he says he is leaving it sealed
Thanks bro!
… but the place he bought it from was just selling them like a normal item, he didnt have to do anything sleezy to get it
Oh man those retailers are so annoying… Its italian right?
It appears so
Well…..I think it’s time my fellow Diamond Dogs

So idk if there was a poll before but I wanted to ask all of you. For you which snake its the best snake ? Naked Snake (Big Boss) or Solid Snake?
It is a tough one but for me I’ll go with big boss. I think he went through a lot in his life and he did what he thought was right based on what he learned from the boss. Solid Snake its also a great character believe me I like both of them , but I prefer big boss a little bit more than solid snake.
Naked Snake 🙂 he is a more personal adventure so I’m more tied to the original, also he is the original 😉
..
I go for BB too. Hes a bit more emotional than solid snake.
And the whole story about the boss and him is so friggn thrilling.
All this suffer… a real phantom pain
Naked
Solid
Liquid
Solidus
Venom :p
I hope you aren’t leaving this after you play TPP, lol.
John. Nuff said!
Big Boss as a character might be more interesting since his creator made a rich history for him where lots of tales can be told. In that aspect, I suspect many (including myself) will “like” him best because of the many interesting stories available. However, I think Solid Snake is the best because he always seemingly chooses to do the right thing. I rather follow in the footsteps of Solid Snake than Big Boss.
when is the new trailer coming out?
kojima says its almost done so i immagine its coming in the next 3 or 4 days. I hope the english trailer comes shortly after
Didn’t Kojima call it the “launch trailer”?
No, you can go check his twitter.
Ok, thanks.
What Connor said, in the next few days, after all it has to come out before the game gets released, lol. Also one of the teaser shots said “coming september 1st” not “already available” so we will see it before September 1st.
maybe on Kojimas birthday?
I have this syndrome of not being able to play any games after playing a really good one. About a year ago I played a few great games in a row (I planned playing them in a row, and know they were all good before hand) and I’m still recovering from that, lol, usually it takes about a month or two for me to play games again after playing a good one. A good game really gets stuck on my mind A LOT. I think I’m going to be a really big unresponsive mass after TPP, lol.
Is like Good cocaine vs Shity Cocaine brother. There is no Going back XD
I know the feeling, Hitman Absolution and Sleeping Dogs!
Lately I seem to buy a game, play it for a couple days, then go right back to the games I truly love.. Its unfortunate how much money I feel I waste on this:(
I don’t know if it’s the same thing but I’m kinda like that after I watch a really good movie in the theater.
i feel you bro, i have the same syndrome, in fact, i can’t even play anything the week before of the release of that great game, qwith TPP the syndrome have intensified, i mean, i’m not even motivated to play anything that is not MGS
i think the time has come comrades.
im going into mediablackout for the last few days i would so love to keep chatting and hyping us to the max but i have a feeling one of these days im gonna read something that cant be undone for me and this game is too important for me to risk it. i left my information in the list everybode on PS4 feel free to add me so we can play together and think about forming an mgo clan when the time comes. gonna kill the last days with dark souls even tho i’ve spent like 500+ hours on the souls series already lol. i’m already excited to return to MGI when the game is out and whe all can go crazy about it together!
see you on the other side brothers!
PS: please dont judge me if i’m weak and post something before rls xD
I feel you.
Off-topic but I always wonder why Kaz hasn’t got a prosthetic arm and leg like Snake did with his lost arm? Is there any explanation for it in trailers or interviews?
It’s due to the location of where Kaz’s arm was severed. BB’s only lost the majority of his forearm so the prosthetic arm is able to manipulate the tendons in his forearm to move his fingers and hand, Kaz on the other hand as completely lost his arm, so Kaz will have no way use any muscles in his arm to manipulate the prosthetic arm.
This make sense. Thank you for the answer. But what about the leg? I mean, it looks like Kaz hasn’t lost the leg completely.

Can’t really see if he still has his knee joint and a bit below it… Dunno.
See you on the other side! 😀

Thank you all for what you do. I’ve been following the site daily for around a year now and you’ve all made the wait far more tolerable and kept me sane! Or possibly you’ve contributed to my MGS obsession and made a peaceful wait turn to 24/7 thoughts of TPP! Haha either way, just wanted to show my appreciation! Thanks again!
PS- Here is a video of me drunk on whiskey, wanting a cassette tape badly and committing vehicular manslaughter.

Lol.
Welcome to Outer Heaven!
10 days! Arrrrgh! So close I can almost hear DD chomping on an unsuspecting enemy whilst I CQC his patrol buddy!
Wtf XD
Some gamestops have recieved their shipments of mgsv and collector editions
A friend at gamestop told me they got copys of mgsv in the back, they smell like outer heaven
hohohohohoho la li lu le lo
The wait is nearly over my brothers.
This guy is totally right, if you feel that you are going to get spoiled, then is the least worse to see the Spoiler and feeling emotions instead of hearing it, and feeling nothing!
So if you feel that you will get spoiled no matter what, then watch Greg Miller’s Review, again, is less worse to experience it than hearing it!

I don’t understand people who say that if Venom Snake is Gray Fox, that they will be done and get mad.
People, Every Story, whether is a Book, Video Game, Movie or TV Series is about the facts of the events themselves, as is abouthow and why these things are Fact, and most of all if is a Visual Story with Actors a Writter and a Director, then all that matter is how the subject is handled, the subject itself doesn’t matter that much.
Done ranting.

People, Every Story, whether is a Book, Video Game, Movie or TV Series is not as much about the subject, as is about how and why it happaned the way it did, and most of all if is a Visual Story with Actors a Writter and a Director, then all that matters is how the subject is handled, the subject isn’t as relevant as the way is handled.
Conclusion: The way something is handled is what brings you joy and Entertainement, not the Subject itself!

https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/3htnfa/spanish_magazine_rates_mgsv_97100/
I can do some translate for you guys . Did you want ?
Oh shitt i have the pictures.. Is real Folks !!. Im grabing a coffe and start to translate here
You da real MVP :*
The first line of the review is : A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME
– THE GREATEST STEALTH GAME IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING
– AFGHANISTAN AND AFRICA ( 2 LOCATIONS BUT BIGGER THAN YOU THINK)
-QUIET HAS THE MOST INTERESTING STORY IN THE WHOLE GAME
-157 SIDE OPS
– GAMEPLAY IS BETTER THAN BEFORE
– PS4 RUNS AT 60FPS WITHOUT A SINGLE FRAME DROP
-THIS GAME HAD SOME( CONTROVERSIAL ) SCENES THAN THE MEDIA WILL TALK FOR YEARS
THE WRITTER LOVES THE STORY BUT HE THINKG IS SLOW PACED AND NOT SO AMAZING LIKE OLD ENTRIES – THERE ARE FEW BOSSES AND THE ENDING DO NOT RESOLVE ANY OF HIS QUESTIONS .. HE IS A LITTLE DISSAPOINTED FROM BEEN A MGS CORE FAN
GAMEPLAY : 10
MUSIC : 10
LENGTH = 10
STORY = 9
Well this is it folks… I’m still thinking it could be a ” Secret ending ” in the game and maybe that is why reviewers are a little confuse . We heard the same thing with the french magazine but overall HOBYCONSOLAS Think this is one of the greatest games ever .
DID YOU RIKET IT ? =)
Very interesting that so far nobody has liked the ending of MGSV because it isn’t conclusive enough…but Yongyea posted this on twitter during his Q&A: “@Clickery21 I’m playing the final build minus the ending, so yes, some minor changes and adjustments.”
Funny how both the French and the Spanish (or are the South American?) apparently missed the fact that they don’t actually have the ending of the story in the build they are/were playing XD
Thanks for translating it though, much appreciated 🙂
Thanks for the translations! 😀
About the fewer boss fights … is it because the other boss fights are optional (in side-ops)?? Maybe they didn’t encountered them all.
Also the ending, didn’t Konami say that everyone who are playing the earlier version of TPP will not contain the ending?? They will review the game but without playing the ending.

Here’s another compiled version of the Q&A with Yongs answers included. Enjoy.
I’m also not sure I’ll receive my CE from EB Games on release day, even with express shipping. I haven’t ordered much from that site and I’ve noticed going through past pre-orders that most were delivered the day after release. So that’s what I’m expecting as long as the carrier actually delivers the package instead of being a fuckhole by leaving a notice to pick it up the next day instead.
Hello everybody, I’m new here but I’ve been reading articles here for quite some time. I hope that i can still be your fellow diamond dog, I’m going to be the Diamond Bull! Cheers fellow dogs!
Awesome thanks for doin this guys. Wish I could be there but I will get my copy in due time.
