mr_woo Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Portable Ops isn't considered part of the canon isn't it ? I know Kojima doesn't consider it part of the canon whilst for example Revengeance is something he says is. Who the fuck knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nespresso Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yes, Kojima no likey Portable Opsy. That doesn't work but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gerbik Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yeah, portable ops falls into the same category as acid and metal gear 2 on the nes: considered bullshit by Kojima himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nespresso Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I believe during the Deja Vu mission in GZ, when you're scanning the logos of those games with your blue light (yup, that's a thing) Miller will even comment and mention that he doesn't recognize them. So let's say you scan the Acid logo he'll say something negative I think. Could be wrong though as at one point there's a Metal Gear Solid Ghost Babel title on one of the shacks which is fake? So I might have just been scanning fake logos or something. I don't know okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbind Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Booked a few days of work for this. I got mgs 4 a day early and marathoned it in 18 hours, finishing it before it was technically released. So I'm going to take my time with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I might have just been scanning fake logos or something. I don't know okay? Ghost Babel was the subtitle of the GBC game in the US; my UK copy didn't have one.Supposedly there are a lot of spoilers out for this, so I'd suggest steering well clear of any comments sections.

Hexx Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've ordered it here for £22.99, as per up-thread. Not due to arrive for another couple of days though, so can't give you 100% confidence in the seller yet. Just got my code now - and all worked fine. (Had to e-mail them though as they said would be on the 20th. Also their dispatch e-mail directs me to sign up to Kinguin. I feel dirty ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbind Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 When is the Kojoma trailer up? Spainkiller are you able to talk anything about length of the game? How long did you get to play it, did you mainline the story for review? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I've just realised that I've not seen any ads for this, which is a little concerning given that it's out in just over a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_woo Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Watched a 3 hour movie of Peace Walker on youtube just to catch up on the one game I've missed. Actually pretty entertaining and just nice to have one of the gaps filled out storyline wise. Started watching the story for MGS1 as well and ended up watching the whole thing, I forgot how much like a slasher Liquid is - 'I'm BACK Snake!' Will probably end up watching the rest of them as I'm sad like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_woo Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Out of curiosity Spainkiller is a lot of the story told through the side ops and tapes as well as the main story missions ? Makes me wonder how many of the side ops things were completed/things left undiscovered in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I don't care if there's less story than usual as long as it's more batshit than usual. Where is it on the batshit meter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The problem is that most of the game is remarkably grounded in reality (as in, being the least batshit of the Solid games) but then every once and a while something happens that makes a guy shooting bees look tame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eighthours Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I haven't played an MGS since 2, but the reviews (and talk of not much story) have pushed me over the edge. Pre-ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Sounds like my perfect game. Proper player agency, interlinking gameplay systems that make everything feel meaningful, smooth segues between stealth and action, an authored plot that gets out of way in favour of player-created stories. I might book two days off instead of just the one. Spainkiller, can you give some detail about the difficulty levels? One issue I've found with previous MGS (including Ground Zeroes) is that the sneaking is a bit too tough and frustrating on Hard, but the 'loud' gameplay is way too easy on Normal. As in, Snake is far too resilient. Though, I think in this one, the extra freedom and space will probably make more alert enemies easier to cope with.

Spacehost Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 ArsTechnica's review is in: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a great example of how to expand a well-loved franchise without destroying what made it so special in the first place. Buy It. http://arstechnica.co.uk/gaming/2015/08/review-metal-gear-solid-5-is-cliched-confused-and-utterly-brilliant/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11 Herbs 'n' Spices Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I've avoided reviews but it's heartening to see that the embargo isn't right on top of the release date which was starting to feel like the norm these days. Speaking of, what are Simplygames deliveries like these days? Would be great to get this before the Bank Holiday weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyboard Koala Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 There is a (disappointing) spoiler in that. Is there? A MGS V related one, or one referring to earlier games? I stopped watching after a few minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
