Metal Gear Solid V

A million times better than the real one and the steelbook version is class looking. I always though the box art was a place holder at first, couldn't believe that was the final design chosen considering past games of the PS2 era.

Great art. I gotta say though, I don't think I prefer either one. The default one is like that X-MEN promotional art, isn't it? Face shot with coloured, transparent text overlayed on them. I don't buy physical anymore so it doesn't really make much difference to me but I suppose I could make it a custom steam icon :pac:

I used to always use custom case art on PS3 games, though. Would do it all meself in PS. Mostly I just got rid of all the dumbass logos and age ratings. The last while I actually bought PS3 games they were all plagued by review quotes from crappy game journalism sites. I wonder if there's any of that malarkey on the PS3 case now for this release.

Played Ground Zeros on the Ps4 last night, havign previously finished it on the PS3. I can do the first bit of the Paz/Chico rescue no problem, I always seem to struggle once I get into the admin building. I have successfully sneaked into the holding cell area, but getting herself back out without being seen is tough. Usually just load her in the car and fire out of the main gate to the chopper. I'll take a run at some of the side ops tonight.

Sneak, tranq and repeat. Once you know where and when the soldiers will appear it's handy.

I've always loved the older cases. MGS1-3 all had nice art work while MGS4 (standard version) and now MGSV just have the character model face from the game.

Just seeing something that's looks hand drawn is a lot nicer to me.

MG1 and 2 are probably the best for me.

That's pretty awesome, but it's nothing on this...

Wait what

God damn it.

Played through it last night and did a non-lethal run. Would've managed less alerts and continues had I known that!

What are the rewards for playing through Ground Zeroes on the same system as Phantom Pain? Is it just troops?

O you get spotted doing it this way for sure, just call in the chopper as you get into the car, that way when you get to the LZ (use the same one as for the chico extraction) the chopper is waiting and usually kills a few of the pursuing marines for you. I have to say it is pretty bad ass shooting your way out of the marine base with the target on your shoulder.

It all makes sense now. This whole grey fox is MGSV's protagonist thing was just a smokescreen for the truth.

challengemaster · 14-08-2015 4:29am

I preferred this one tbh

B.A._Baracus · 14-08-2015 8:20am

18 days to go.

We're nearly entering spoiler territory. Seeing as how this is being released on Xbox 360 it will hit the net and people will download it. Usually games leak around 14 to 7 days before release.

Your sig, whatever it is, Avast have blocked it on me, is throwing up a malware warning.

Probably false positive.

Finished Ground Zeroes as a quick refresher for V in a few weeks.

Completely forgot about Kaz and his fiddle. Such a serious scene and I can't help but laugh every time.

I'm really hoping that given the reaction to that line, while walking round Mother Base you can randomly find Kaz playing a fiddle

What's this now? I've finished all Ground Zeroes missions, even got a few S ranks and I never saw Kaz playing the fiddle...

I'll have to start playing Ground Zeroes again. Hopefully I'll pop the achievement for Eliminate the Renegade Thread this time.

The one where you extract them rather than kill them? If you wait long enough the guy in the tower comes down for a walk around, and you can easily grab him then. Just a bit of patience required and it's easy as pie.

Yeah, that's the one. I used the stun gun on all the enemies and on Glaz and Palitz. I then extracted them both of them out by helicopter. Passed the mission but no freaking achievement popped.

It frustrated me playing it last year, but I will give it another go so the achievement better bloody pop this time.

Robert ninja · 15-08-2015 1:33pm

I started killing everyone because someone woke up on their own from a tranq shot. Pretty sure that's not supposed to be able to happen but the game's made me paranoid that KO'ing enemies isn't enough.

On Hard they'll eventually wake up.

Links234 · 15-08-2015 1:46pm

Yeah, knocking people out or tranqing them is only temporary on Hard. Just do what I do, tranq 'em and then throw 'em into the sea.

Robert ninja · 15-08-2015 1:48pm

Lots of them never woke up, though. Just some. Oh well... definitely no passive run for me anytime soon on the main game if tranq darts can't even garauntee they stay down.

What's up with not being able to use the knife btw? There was a few enemies I wanted to kill after I realised them being KO wasn't enough so I wanted to just stab em' like you could in MGS3/4. The knife seems to be completely gone from the weapon select menu

I had to wake them up, grab them in CQC and then stab them. Made me feel like a prick.

No word yet of when the embargo lifts. Can be anything from a couple of days to the midnight of the release.

But i'm more worried about getting this spoiled by some douchebags who after illegally downloading the xbox 360 version decide to post random comments spoiling it. Such as on YouTube.

So I am avoiding everything MGS as soon as I hear it hit the net! :P Been waiting to play this game for years.
