Metal Gear Series

The scores were good to hear, but other than that I'm on total spoiler lockdown now.

I don't want to know nothing either, I just found it interesting MGS best thing has been the crazy story & cutscenes is MGSV weakness.

But I still can't f'in wait though.

I am absolutely for this game. The only catch, there's a ton of games I want right now Witcher 3, Pillars of Eternity to name a couple, and I've a ton of backlog in general.

Hopefully I'll get a job closer to home so I can get these instant classics and have the time to play them, but the moment I get MG5 I'm doing nothing but playing it.

I'm really excited which is mad for the combination of Me and Metal Gear. Should hopefully have it chilling in my PS4 tomorrow

I think mine will be here tomorrow as well, then I've got three days off.

So hyped for this game. Had a big Ground Zeroes session today to properly get me in the mood; it still plays a treat, and I hadn't done the Kojima rescue before so that was fun. I'm crossing every digit on my body that we'll get our copies in at work this weekend, if not I'll have to wait until release day and think about waiting for my birthday.

I really want to have finished all the missions but Deja Vu is just crap. I'm sure it's a great laugh for MGS1 fans but to play it's a chore...

You really aren't doing a whole lot on the mission tbh & I'd say it's the weakest one out of all the ground zeroes missions but it is a great nostalgia trip.

I'm also going to throw this video in here.

Went to my local videogame supplier to try and get my copy early. The bitch behind the counter wouldn't let me have it... Now I have to wait for her to get home...

The problem is the mission isn't fun. You're just trying to be in the right position for a picture, rather than doing anything with any real purpose. Looks like I've got an hour or so to give it another try now at least.

Well your not meant to break street dates, I even remember once in GAME them ringing someone about the local indie store breaking the street date. Even though we get early (mine hasn't come) due to ordering online or people we know work in a store and can buy it on are behalf.

It was a joke mas In case you didn't pick up it was my gf behind the counter and she'll be bringing it home with her anyway.

I know hence the people we know thing.

We had copies come in at work on Friday but some jobsworth made a song and dance about not breaking street date so we had to go to the local game shop. Luckily, the guys in there know me well enough to sell me a copy.

Haven't had much time with it yet, but that's not through choice. Coming into work or going out with friends feels like a major chore. I just want to play Metal Gear, all the time. At five hours in, my prediction that this would be my game of the year feels bang on.

My playtime is slightly higher than that, currently sitting at 22 hours more in fact It is brilliant innit?

On a side note has anyone found D-Dog yet? Not sure if I've missed him or if I shouldn't have him but I want a cool puppy pal.

I've got DD.

My playtime must be about the same as Drunka's due to me still sucking at stealth. But I'm not far in at all.

Can you tell me how you get him in that case please. I'm loving playing with the different buddies and need more of dat, I'm already best mates with D-horse and need more FRIENDS

Balls, I always get super unlucky with random events XD

I played for 10hrs yesterday, it's pretty good isn't it.

It is when you're not desperately scouring the land for d-dog drove myself a bit mad with that yesterday...

My DD is ready to kick-ass now, takes a good few missions in between for DD to grow awfully quickly for a wolf / dog.

He says as the flaming man chases after you.

Anyone else find they're spending an obscene amount of time on side op missions or is that just me?

I've done a few which is unlike me as I normally don't do side-quests in games as I play fro the story but these ones do add to the story due to extracting X guy who can make Y weapon which you will want.

I reckon I've probably got around a 50:50 split between time on sides and mains. There are certainly a lot available.
