I can't wait until Skullface is a new character and every single dumb theory around him gets BTFO. He's not Gene. He's not Zadornov. He sure as shit isn't Hot Coldman. He's not Ocelot. He's not Volgin. Koji must be aware [I]no one[/I] gives a shit about Zadornov, Gene or Coldman and yet zadornov is the one I see in every theory

And as of now, there is literally no evidence that points to them being true. And yet you still see people who seriously believe that Quiet is Chico. Why does every new character [I]have[/I] to also be an old character? Every single MGS game introduces several brand new characters. [sp]Like Iroquois Pliskin, for example.[/sp]

Until Skullface started speaking Hungarian. Then I just started thinking he's a new character, which is most likely right.

holy shit, renegade hard was a fucking nightmare but it is done [t]http://i.imgur.com/5B7R3UG.jpg[/t] as kojima says, that was perfect

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FIlCywW.jpg[/IMG] i want to believe

I just like the idea that Skullface is Zadornov because that would mean he's such a slippery motherfucker that he even fucking escapes [sp]death.[/sp] It's still a pretty dumb theory though.

I say this because, given the current understanding of TPP, it seems Kojima wants to put an end to the Big Boss series, putting him through so much pain and torment that it leads to him becoming the amoral leader of FOXHOUND that the young Solid Snake joins. If Skullface is isolated to TPP yet still has an impact on the rest of the series, I would be happy with that. [editline]29th January 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=RikohZX;47035777]He did die.

Should be pretty interesting.[/sp]

Does any one know a good mission to recruit soldiers early on in Peace Walker? Literally everywhere I look online is like "Get the fulton mine/gustav and grab these snipers", but I can't get end game shit like that because pretty much all my side-ops are "Hey, go fight 20 guys and a tank" and my equipment is shit.

Once you do get better gear you can go back and ace these missions really easily. Also there's some strategy guides and information online that let you know where you can find S rank soldiers.

I don't have a problem with killing guys. I have a problem with 90% of the guys I find being D and E rank, when I need B rank or higher. I'm not at the point where I want to be hunting S rank soldiers, and there's the biggest problem, everywhere I look online talks about getting S rank guys, but that's way past where I am. No one seems to talk about how to ramp up to S rank, it just starts there.

[QUOTE=residntevl;47038077]Use your analyzer.[/QUOTE] That's what I do, and most of the time they're rank C or lower so I ignore them, or kill them if I can't ignore them.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;47038168]That's what I do, and most of the time they're rank C or lower so I ignore them, or kill them if I can't ignore them.[/QUOTE] rank c is fine in the early game you don't need to have the best until you start reaching your group limits

[QUOTE=elowin;47038860]rank c is fine in the early game you don't need to have the best until you start reaching your group limits[/QUOTE] By "early game" I mean I've beaten Peace Walker and found Zidornov 5 times, most of my guys are C rank. Literally everywhere I've looked for places to find soldiers talk exclusively about getting S rank soldiers and say beating ZEKE is midway through the progression.

I'd really like to see Solid 1 remade with gameplay akin to Ground Zeroes / Phantom Pain. It's my favorite in the series.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Naked Snake or Peace Walker Big Boss models were quick to be imported as Big Boss replacements.

Kojima is going to present Phantom Pain tomorrow at the Taipei Gaming Show. [QUOTE=https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/561116227741822976]MGSV stage event is tomorrow at 1pm. #TpGS2015[/QUOTE] Here's hoping that we get a release date.

Is there going to be a stream for it?

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;47039354]Is there going to be a stream for it?[/QUOTE] As far as I heard, no, but here's hoping I guess

[QUOTE=uber.;47039290]Kojima is going to present Phantom Pain tomorrow at the Taipei Gaming Show.

It'd be hilarious if "Those who don't exist" are the characters swept out of the series canon, i.e. those featuring in portable ops. Skullface, a ghost without a past is Gene coming back to haunt the series main canon.

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;47039683]Skullface, a ghost without a past is Gene coming back to haunt the series main canon.[/QUOTE] No, it's [I]obviously[/I] Higharolla Kockamamie from Snake's Revenge.

I love how Snake Eater is like a huge love letter to James Bond.
