Gaming Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain | Use Spoiler Tags for now

Some scary rumours going around about Denuvo DRM, even though the store page says nothing...

Yeah, I'll wait.
 
Got to get through the whole day of work being distracted by the fact I'm not playing this. :lol: (Also the transfer deadline doesn't help.)

Have you played it yet Stu or is it just in anticipation?

It's worse when you've played it cos then you're planning/playing out missions in your head instead of working:D
 
The missus is not feeling well today.

Did I suggest she should get an early night based on my concern and love for her, or on the larger gaming window that would be created?

:angel: or :nervous:
 
Mine hasn't arrived yet, absolutely fuming, knew I should have bought it from Shopto
 
Meh, was planning to play Ground Zeroes before this but just found out ps plus games are only valid till the subscription lasts. Guess i'll just jump directly into this.
 
Amazon? I'm still waiting for mine. Apparently it left Warrington at 09:30 this morning. I could have walked there and picked it up myself in that time...
Yep, mine left goring at 7am, the distributor office is at the end of my road
 
I must have preordered this months ago and forgotten as it came in the post today with me having no idea about it
Best accidental purchase ever

Played an hour and wow, just wow

It's almost TOO good. Think I need to read about the story as I've only played ground zeroes

Check the reddit thread I posted on the last page for some story catchup.

But yes I agree, this is fantastic and any fan of the genre should play it.
 
Just bit the bullet and sacrificed some of my booze and drug money for next weekend to get this (and Ground Zeroes for free). GZ installing as we speak and I'll set Phantom Pain to download while I'm in work tomorrow.

Yeah I saw your post earlier and have been reading it. Quite the story
 
Had to force myself to stop playing this masterpiece. The most amazing thing happened. Some guard almost saw me so started to investigate, as he was honing in on my position i equipped my cardboard box with a poster of a soldier, stood upright and kinda startled the curious guard. He then stopped about 15m or so away, saluted me and ran back to his post. :lol:
 
Bears are hard to kill. Just got taken out by one just as I was about to be picked up.
 
Ive heard that Quite is missable, is that true?
I heard that too - these were a couple of replies I got earlier...

@swooshboy Quiet spoiler info. Each sentence is more spoilery as it goes on.

So I believe it's an actual mission but I just stumbled into her by accident. I wasn't totally sure what to do because she is shooting you. It's in a ruins area to the North if I remember right. At first I tried to just creep up to her because I didn't want to kill her but it didn't work so I started sniping her back. When you get her health to zero you go to a cutscene pointing a gun at her head where I believe you can actually kill her. I didn't press the trigger button because I wanted her as my companion. Everyone at mother base is angry with me at the moment and want me to kill her though :lol: [spoiler/]

Also regarding quiet

The first time you encounter her you can just creep past her and come back later. You will end up having to go through her mission area to get to one of the early story missions so you won't miss her I don't think, but if you want her just don't kill her when given the option. I crept past and came back once I developed a non-lethal sniper, I didn't want to take any chances on possibly killing her outright with a lethal weapon.
 
I had a great moment earlier, was extracting but had multiple enemies ahead. I tranq'd one because I was going for a non-lethal run, I then dispatched a couple of others and realised I couldn't see the ZZZ above this guys head, turns out he drowned in 2 inches of water because he fell face down in a small stream.

I haven't used the box yet - need to do that!

How far in are you? I think I have done 5 missions and a number of side missions.

Have just expanded MB with Support and R&D sections, just upgraded the Fulton so I can collect small weapons and mortars. I love the upgraded scope - so you can see which enemies it is worth sending back, and which are, um, disposable!

Really love it!

(Spoiler) im afraid to read spoilers. Is she part of a mission/side op or free roam? Cos I overheard two guards during free roam talking about a power plant and a woman. (/spoiler)

On phone cant fix my post sorry. Spoilers wont work
 
Mine arrived around 17:00. Just about to start off on the first mission. That intro mission was insane!

It seems the MGO additional content codes aren't functional yet. My day one code worked fine, though.
 
Yeah MGO codes probably won't work until it releases, October they say.
 
When does MGO release?

I'm going to have to pick it up and complete it before then aren't I?

Was close to the end of the witcher 3 earlier and it crashed! :lol:
 
About a couple of hours in. As usual I have no idea wtf is going on with regards to the story but I'm enjoying it. Also not quite sure why there's a need to put credits at the start and end of every episode; completely ruins the continuous and immersive open world feel.
 
Soooo regarding quite. Does my above post make sense?

You can probably find her in free roam but you are more likely to run into her on your way to a main mission objective, I don't think you will miss her, I can't remember exactly but I believe its Mission 10. I white texted it in case you don't want to know exactly.

White text doesn't work in a spoiler :lol:
 
Do the camp alert levels go back down to low. There seems to be an enemy guy who is going around everywhere telling me people I am around

Also do stunned enemies wake back up

Is there a time limit for rescue missions or can I take my time? Just got told that I've spent 24 hours

The servers on this game must be being hammered! I haven't got online with it once, so I still can't do that ground zeros transfer.

I must have put in 25 hours so far and I come across my first mission where I got proper stuck. Took me an age to do it.
 
This game is truly the shit... just so very good. I'm spending a lot of time being boring and just building guns and shit.
 
Came about 6pm. Last time I pre order from Amazon.

The opening sequence. Wow. Just. Wow.
Last time I pre order from them too

They've told me there was a delay but they don't know why and it will definitely be delivered tomorrow

I feel for you. But it's worth the wait. In fact I'd just cancel the order from Amazon and pick it up tomorrow.

I really wish I didn't have to go to bed. Being up at 4am sucks.
