Metal Gear Solid - Tactical Megathread Action VIII - We Are Diamond Dogs! - Games

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;47710689]Holy fuck the length of this thing sounds immense. 8+ hours of gameplay and most people haven't even finished act 1. This really sounds like it could be the final MGS masterpiece from Kojima.[/QUOTE] And considering previous games that aren't filled with oodles of extra content like Peace Walker or hour-long cutscenes like MGS4 usually chalk in at an afternoon or more, even if you try to get everything you can in one playthrough, this is particularly large. [i]Especially[/i] since they state they haven't tackled much of the extra content at all.

Let's just hope that it's quality as well as quantity.

"The “showering” that was talked about before did in fact refer to an actual shower room at Mother Base you can use." I was wondering about that. Glad that's confirmed.

Time to see Big Boss naked.

oh my god. A quote from Derrik J. Lang on twitter. "I spent yesterday playing #MGSV and marveled at the little details, like overhearing Kim Wilde's #KidsInAmerica on a boom box. #MGSVPreview" [B]YES KOJIMA[/B]

Time to see this one eyed snake's one eyed snake. :v:

Alright, I think I'm going to skip Peace Walker. These boss fights are really dragging on and I kinda just want to get to Ground Zeroes. I already know that [sp]Paz is a double crosser,[/sp] is there anything else I need to know?

I just watched the Matthewmatosis review of it and feel that I know enough. I'll probably come back to Peace Walker someday but until then I'm gonna play GZ.

Those previews sound great :D

except none of those are leaks?

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;47713989]except none of those are leaks?[/QUOTE] Well details then, at least from someone who is playing the game. Don't shoot the messenger, man.

Oh holy shit, they really did make the "those who don't exist" supersoldiers guys that roam around hunting you down. They made my dream come true

What's the significance of Kids in America? What am I missing?

What a time to have become a Metal Gear fan though. Like seriously, so glad I decided to get the Legacy collection. Gotta finish my MGS3 no kills playthrough.

[QUOTE=bdd458;47714140]What a time to have become a Metal Gear fan though. Like seriously, so glad I decided to get the Legacy collection. Gotta finish my MGS3 no kills playthrough.[/QUOTE] Feels great to have been playing from the start and to see it end. Kojima's Metal Gear anyway.

Grey Fox mentioned. He better be in missions with you at some point.

I'll be satisfied if he's just in the game. If he can be a combat buddy that would be fantastic.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;47714172]I'll be satisfied if he's just in the game. If he can be a combat buddy that would be fantastic.[/QUOTE] I know MG1/2 aren't really canon but it's said in MG2 his fame and the respect people have for him are nearly on-par with Big Boss himself. Not to mention he's canonically god-tier with knives and swords so there sure as shit better be some of that. It's possible they could reference or even let you experience the moment BB rescues him. It would be pretty fitting given Frank is supposed to have various parts of his body cut off when BB finds him.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;47714328]Unless MGS 5 includes an updated retelling of MG 1 and 2 somehow the originals would still be canon to some extent. Honestly it seems like it could too since nearly all the pieces are there.[/QUOTE] I get the awful feeling Frank isn't going to be as close to the plot as he ought to be. Of all the characters across the entire series he is most deserving of fleshing out. The hints to his past and the amount of pain he has suffered is almost more than anything BB has had thrown at him. No real family. Nowhere to call home. Living a lie with Naomi. Always just following orders never truly exhibiting self-control. Tortured, lost limbs/facial features. He embodies almost everything this game seems to be exploring so it would be a catastrophic oversight if he weren't heavily involved.

How are MG1/2 not canon? Didn't Snake fight Big Boss? also [QUOTE=Flubbman;47714127]What's the significance of Kids in America? What am I missing?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Flubbman;47714356]How are MG1/2 not canon? Didn't Snake fight Big Boss? also[/QUOTE] They're still canon, but everything else has interpreted their events in such broad strokes that they might as well be some cliff notes and little else.

[QUOTE=Flubbman;47714356]MG1/2 aren't canon? So Snake didn't actually fight Big Boss? also[/QUOTE] The basics are obviously canon but some character backgrounds are in the fog at the moment. MGS5 will confirm what is and isn't canon.
