MGSV: The Phantom Pain is being released September 15th on PC - Polidicks

[quote]METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAINis the series’ largest and most ambitious edition to date, expanding upon themes and content seen in its predecessor: METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES. Set within huge open-world environments, METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN is brought to vivid life with realistic weather patterns and day/night cycles. Thus, players can adapt their tactics to match the changing environment, creating an intuitive and non-linear gameplay experience. Similarly, a host of acclaimed METAL GEAR SOLID troops return in hugely advanced forms, including expanded CQC (Close-Quarter Combat) skills, vastly improved enemy AI, online elements that complement the single player campaign, and an all-new version of METAL GEAR ONLINE, a competitive multiplayer mode, included within the main game. Hideo Kojima’s groundbreaking title sets a new standard in stealth-action, with the series’ famed sneaking elements greatly expanded within the sprawling play area. A host of new characters – both allies and enemies – tell a story driven by revenge, as franchise protagonist Big Boss enters a series of battlefields following the deaths of his colleagues. Central to the game is a hideously disfigured adversary known as Skull Face, while the ongoing conflict also introduces the new, iconic characters, such as the mysterious Quiet – a mute female warrior with incredible abilities. Tactical elements are also added to the game via METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN’s new Mother Base system. Players begin with a small-scale off-shore rig, which can be customized and expanded using liberated items and personnel. Players use an enhanced version of the innovative Fulton system pioneered in METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER to airlift guards, vehicles, weapons, raw materials and kit to their base, where the staff will use these resources to develop the base to the user’s specifications. An accompanying iDROID app will allow players to manage their Mother Base and its development, using staff to develop new weapons, carry out missions and implement defense systems. The latter becomes vital as the Mother Base is focal to the multiplayer online elements of the game’s campaign, where players can raid each others’ Mother Bases to wreak havoc and steal essential items. Additionally, METAL GEAR ONLINE - the game’s dedicated competitive multiplayer mode - will go live at the launch of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN. The online element represents the third iteration of the popular multiplayer game, newly redesigned with the familiar gameplay and aesthetic styling of its companion single-player campaign. METAL GEAR ONLINEfeatures a “class system” that more uniquely defines the strengths and abilities of player characters on the battlefield. Key characters from the series including Venom Snake and Ocelot will also make appearances in the anticipated multiplayer feature. The September window will see a number of product options available to passionate fans of the series, with METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN releasing both a special “Day 1 Edition” and a limited “Collector’s Edition”. METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN including METAL GEAR ONLINE, will retail with an SRP of €69.99/£59.99 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system; the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft; and Steam, and €59.99/£49.99 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Xbox 360. SRP of “Collector’s Edition” will be €99.99 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system; the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft.The Steam version of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAINwill be released on September 15th, 2015.

i need that collectors edition

Thank fuck, I was expecting the delay to be way worse.

Compared to the wait for Ground Zeroes this is pretty moderate, lets just hope this doesn't turn into a GTA:V situation where it keeps getting pushed back whenever we get close to release.

KONAMI SITE WONT WORK

Not cool Konami, this is a story intensive game. Anyone who gives a shit will have to unplug their internet to avoid this shit.

damn that bionic arm though this might be the first game I preorder in a while

Nice one, more unwarranted PC delays. Fuck you Konami.

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;47256112]damn that bionic arm though[/QUOTE] half scale though. not interested i want the steelbook and the game content. hopefully theres a collectors edition without the arm

[QUOTE=Bokito;47256117]Nice one, more unwarranted PC delays. Fuck you Konami.[/QUOTE] ????

[QUOTE=Luxuria;47256128] its only like two weeks who cares[/QUOTE] I care, I like not being arbitrarily witheld from playing a game I'm really excited for just because I play on a different platform, even though the engine on which the game runs was confirmed for being developed to work on both consoles and PC from the start. [QUOTE=Rusty100;47256133]????[/QUOTE] Asynchronous releases are bullshit.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;47256125]half scale though. not interested i want the steelbook and the game content. hopefully theres a collectors edition without the arm[/QUOTE] hmm I see; I'll wait to see if it's actually a bad model in an unboxing vid or something. I'm guessing it won't be metal

Guys, it releases on September 1st for PS3/PS4/Xbox 360/Xbox One September 15th on PC

[QUOTE=Jackald;47256102]From about August 15th to September 30th, i'm gonna be doing a full blackout of all internet access. No internet, no steam, no contact, i shall live in a cabin in the middle of the Scottish highlands; can't risk those spoilers.[/QUOTE] You're not safe here.

The Collectors Edition is only for the Xbox One and PS4 release Fuck. Me.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;47256133]????[/QUOTE] Consoles have release on the 1st.

[/QUOTE] lol have you SEEN the kind of delays other companies give their games for the pc releases? I agree that different releases on different platforms are bullshit, but for a delay, this is really short all things considered.

I mean, I was going to get it for ps4 anyway, but I can imagine people will be pissed about this.

cool on my birthday

I neeeeed that CE.

[QUOTE=Skela;47256198]cool on my birthday[/QUOTE] ye, me too.

[editline]4th March 2015[/editline] [/QUOTE] It being less shit than, for example, GTA V, does not mean this isn't bullshit. [QUOTE=darth-veger;47256185]The Collectors Edition is only for the Xbox One and PS4 release Fuck. Me.[/QUOTE] This just adds to the whole thing. The CE looks really neat but this means we get double-shafted as PC users.

I'm so over Collector's Editions anyway. I'll just take the game.

Is the Konami site working for anyone else?

Just enough time for everyone to finish it on consoles and spoil it for the PC users waiting. Fantastic. This isn't really comparable to GTAV since the story isn't the absolute highlight for the game. Arbitrarily delaying the game where story is super important is insane. Why Konami? This sucks. [editline]4th March 2015[/editline] Also GTAV can be excused considering they actually need the time. As a developer, this two weeks nonsense 6 months out is bullshit and you guys need to stop taking it with pleasure. If they honestly need the time, make the release date the 15th. That'd be the right thing to do.

Welp, guess I'm buying it on two platforms.

Hey I don't even care for the collectors edition, be happy we are getting it at all.

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;47256260]Hey I don't even care for the collectors edition, be happy we are getting it at all.[/QUOTE] Be happy that we're waiting 2 weeks unnecessarily because of some bullshit about piracy and people double dipping? It's greedy and it's wrong, especially for a game like this. The worst thing is, people buy into it and actively defend such practices saying that the two weeks will contribute to a significantly better game. I'm grateful that KojiPro considered a PC version, since they are a Japanese developer. However, I am a customer at the end of the day and anti-consumer practices need to be called out. As a customer, you should be livid. This delay is artificial and it will result in the game being ruined for a lot of people.
