Metal Gear Solid - VIIII - A Hideo Kojima Thread - PLAY THEM ALL IN RELEASE ORDER - Games

Come september this thread's going to read like a CIA document, I'm assuming spoilers will have to be marked with the game and/or chapter/mission number?

So for a a steam group name, how would "Metal Gear Facepunch - A Hideo Kojima Group" sound? Yay or nay

That's fine by me.

Alright I made the group, I'll get some art on it and put out the link. It will be public. [editline]25th July 2015[/editline] [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/MG-FP[/url] I made a discussion thing for fp usernames. If you join please post there or risk getting culled come release time. (if your not a part of FP groups or your name is radically different). Art is not final, I'll see about getting some nicer picture.

Did they ever confirm if [sp]Revolver Ocelot[/sp] was going to be a battle buddy?

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;48295512]Did they ever confirm if [sp]Revolver Ocelot[/sp] was going to be a battle buddy?[/QUOTE] I think they confirmed he isn't but that leaked achievement list [sp]only had achievements tied to three of the four confirmed companions[/sp] so anything is possible when Metal Gear is involved

Also, those reddit spoilers seem fishy. I don't even know how [sp]Paz could live through that fucking explosion. I know it's Kojima, but I don't even think he could come up with a crazy reason to have her live through that.[/sp] [QUOTE=d00msdaydan;48295532]I think they confirmed he isn't but that leaked achievement list [sp]only had achievements tied to three of the four confirmed companions[/sp] so anything is possible when Metal Gear is involved[/QUOTE] I know they mentioned it a long ass time ago, but it was just one of those. "Oh yeah, we want to do this." type of deals. But it is MGS, so who knows. But more importantly. Is it confirmed that the unnamed MSF medic lived at the end of ground zeroes?

Nothing on the Medic, a popular fantheory is that he's Ishmael due to taking a brunt of fire to the face for Big Boss, but nothing concrete.

I finally got the supplies to print [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1470449&p=48258516&viewfull=1#post48258516"]those custom case covers I was making[/URL]. These pictures aren't great since I took them quickly, but you get the idea: [thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site%20materials/mgscovers/photos/fronts2.png[/thumb][thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site%20materials/mgscovers/photos/spines2.png[/thumb][thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site%20materials/mgscovers/photos/backs2.png[/thumb] For the backs, I decided to abandon the fancy, text-laden game descriptions I planned on doing and just went with a simple, elegant KojiPro logo. I may go back to the old idea if I ever get these printed professionally. I consider my current ones 'temporary' for now, especially since they're done on plain paper and hand-cut, which is less than perfect. Each case contains every North American standalone version of that game plus any extra discs related to that game. So for example, the MGS2 case contains: [thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site%20materials/mgscovers/photos/mgs2-1.png[/thumb][thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site%20materials/mgscovers/photos/mgs2-2.png[/thumb] For Peace Walker, I found that the entire UMD case fits inside of these cases almost perfectly. It might look a little silly, but I like that its outer case matches all the others while properly containing the game. [thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site%20materials/mgscovers/photos/mpw.png[/thumb] Lastly, I'm releasing the printable covers for anyone who might want to print their own. [URL="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site%20materials/mgscovers/printable/MGSseries-printable.zip"]You can get them here.[/URL] The cases I used are "VERSApak" multi-disc DVD cases, which I bought from [URL="http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=25164&catid=886"]here[/URL]. Be aware that these will only fit the 3-to-8-disc cases. The 9-to-10-disc cases are too wide.

Probably not happening, but I wish/hope V had boats. I want to have BB driving a speed boat blasting out the Miami Vice theme so bad.

I'm super hyped for this game, yet I still haven't preordered. What the fuck is wrong with me?

[QUOTE=Shugo;48295762]I finally got the supplies to print Be aware that these will only fit the 3-to-8-disc cases.[/QUOTE]Dude that's badass, props to you

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;48296571]I'm super hyped for this game, yet I still haven't preordered. What the fuck is wrong with me?[/QUOTE] I never pre-order.

I only ever pre-order if there is a bonus that has essential stuff, and when I know pretty sure it'll be a good game. Kinda like how to get the definitive difficulty level in Metro Last Light you had to pre-order it. [editline]26th July 2015[/editline] It's a lot safer to pre-order now with steam refunds, but it's still bad practice.

I preorder when I know I'm gonna get the game anyway. My internet connection is rather subpar so being able to preload a 40gb game before it comes out so I can actually play it on release date is a godsend. Oh and the leak is bullshit, and obviously so. It reads like retarded fan fiction and all of the important points are stupid conjecture of the same degree as that fake Fallout 4 leak from a couple of years back that said you could play the entire game in a Fallout 1/2 style perspective and that the game would have completely different versions for previous gen (360/PS3) and new gen (PS4/ONE). The leak also [sp]does not mention Skullface at all, because the guy couldn't be smart enough to figure out a good way to explain him in the plot, so he sticks to rambling about venom and big boss as well as the nurse, the doctor and Quiet, so basically he just watched the hospital trailer in a loop until he came up with enough stupid shit to write an entire fake leak about[/sp].

Speaking of pre-order, when will they enable pre-orders on steam already? I've had the money sitting in my steam for ages now ;-;

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;48297293]Speaking of pre-order, when will they enable pre-orders on steam already? I've had the money sitting in my steam for ages now ;-;[/QUOTE] I think the earliest they'll show up is mid august.

Konami will probably not allow for preorders for a few more weeks because they want people to prioritize the usually more expensive console versions and the collector editions, and they're probably really paranoid about any form of leaking through steam.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;48296640]I never pre-order.[/QUOTE] I usually don't pre-roder, but I got a €5 voucher card when I bought Batman so I used that to pre-order the standard version.

So I was thinking of getting it both on PS3 and PC. Is that a waste, or will I be happy?

or is that supposed to be the MGS2 trooper I can't tell wow double merge ninja

[QUOTE=NO ONE;48297874]So I was thinking of getting it both on PS3 and PC. Is that a waste, or will I be happy?[/QUOTE] It'll probably be unplayable on ps3, gz was very hard to play with fps fluctuations.

[QUOTE=Starship;48297912]It'll probably be unplayable on ps3, gz was very hard to play with fps fluctuations.[/QUOTE] GZ was perfectly fine on PS3, it was laggy but playable.

GZ also ran at like 300x200 on ps3.

[QUOTE=Novangel;48297883]or is that supposed to be the MGS2 trooper I can't tell wow double merge ninja[/QUOTE] Its a Gurlokovich merc figma, it's to go with the MGS1 Snake figma

Ehhhh maybe I just have low standards but the difference between PS3 GZ and PC GZ to me was so minimal. I've actually put more playtime in to the PS3 version thus far. Yeah, the FPS is smoother, and the graphics are better on PC, but it still plays basically the same. The graphics is the biggest enjoyment for me, it is very pretty. And I can play with a controller too, so the only off putting thing is the stupid mouse cursor sticking around.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;48298134]Its a Gurlokovich merc figma, it's to go with the MGS1 Snake figma[/QUOTE] Oh I'm dumb. Didn't really look like the Gurlokovich soldiers so I thought it was from TPP given the sign next to him.

[QUOTE=Novangel;48298157]Oh I'm dumb. Didn't really look like the Gurlokovich soldiers so I thought it was from TPP given the sign next to him.[/QUOTE] sign on his left says venom snake

[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;48298160]sign on his left says venom snake[/QUOTE] well it looks like a neat figurine anyway I suppose :x
