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

Replaying Ground Zeroes today did you guys know you could use an enemy guard as a human shield? That's rather... un-Snake like. I just found that out today! God, even on PS3 (curse my degenerate last gen ways) Ground Zeroes is stunning visually. The models are fantastic. Also I know this has probably been adressed but what the hell is up with Kiefer talking out of a can and guards not saying ANYTHING during holdups? For a PSP game, I get it. I get why that had to happen. But for a full budget console game I'm hoping TPP has guards say shit and Kiefer not speaking out of a can. Unless... it's because Co-Op hasn't been revelaed yet and that's why (I am strongly thinking it's this)

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47338928]Replaying Ground Zeroes today did you guys know you could use an enemy guard as a human shield? That's rather... un-Snake like. I just found that out today![/QUOTE] You've been able to use human shields since MGS2.

[QUOTE=Shugo;47338961]You've been able to use human shields since MGS2.[/QUOTE] Wow, I genuinely learned something about a series I claim to be my favorite.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;47338689]I'd say go for the Solid/Liquid one.[/QUOTE] That's what almost everyone I showed it to said. I tweaked the colors a bit and I think I really like it. [thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site%20materials/mgscovers/MGS123-preview1.png[/thumb]

I know it makes it too similar to the other one, but i would've used the more blueish one. When I think MGS1 it's very blue. [editline]17th March 2015[/editline] These are clean. Plans for Peace Walker, 4 and Revengeance?

Does anyone have a link to the video that compared first gameplay footage of Ground Zeroes to the final product and showed some animation downgrades?

[QUOTE=Shugo;47338609]Continuing [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1446196&p=47332071&highlight=#post47332071]my cover project[/url], I've moved on to MGS1. This is all the MGS1 art I could find that was high enough resolution to be printable, but I can't quite decide which one I want to go with. [thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site%20materials/mgscovers/MGS1-PS1-fullalt-preview.png[/thumb] Ideally I would use the art from the 20th Anniversary/Essential cover, but I couldn't find a clean, complete version. Style 1 on the far left is actually what is used on the jewel case for the 20th Aniv version (with the Essential art being on the outer box), but here in this super-tall format it leaves a ton of empty white space. I'm kind of leaning toward style 3, but what do you think?[/QUOTE] I like the second and fifth ones. Also, you could always use reversible covers, just print on both sides.

Thanks for the input, guys. The one I just posted is the one I'm gonna use, but if people want these for themselves later on, I could just post every style. Still have to finalize other details and the backsides, though. [QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47339129]These are clean. Plans for Peace Walker, 4 and Revengeance?[/QUOTE] I plan on doing the entire series, spin-offs included. I am having problems finding good art for Portable Ops and Peace Walker, though. Portable Ops had zero Shinkawa art done for it, it seems, and high-enough resolution versions of the few pieces of PW Shinkawa art are hard to come by. I'll figure something out.

I think you could ignore Portable ops without a blip on the karma meter it's what koji does

Pre-ordered the Collector's Edition. It takes 5 days to ship, so expect to not hear from me for about a week.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47342058]I think you could ignore Portable ops without a blip on the karma meter it's what koji does[/QUOTE] Well I own a copy, so I want it to match the rest of the set. Also no, Kojima doesn't ignore it. It's was referenced in both MGS4 and PW. It's at least partially canon, according to Kojima in that one interview.

I have a standard 360 copy set up for release-day shipping on Amazon to tide me over until PC.

I don't understand why everyone is so scared of the game being spoiled during the 14 day wait for PC.. I mean come on, it's not THAT hard to avoid game news/videos/threads.

[QUOTE=Kuddie;47342304]I don't understand why everyone is so scared of the game being spoiled during the 14 day wait for PC..

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;47342317]True, but if you get the game later you miss out on a lot of the new game discussion because you're afraid of getting spoiled.[/QUOTE] The new game discussions will continue once the PC version is released, because the only opinions that matter to ME are the ones of PC gamers.

I mean come on, it's not THAT hard to avoid game news/videos/threads.[/QUOTE] I dunno, I was unable to avoid MGS4 spoilers when that game came out because I didn't get it on launch. people just blurted out that [sp]Big Boss was in the game at the end[/sp] without any regard for those who didn't want to be spoiled. If I wait for PC, I'm going to have to avoid 4chan, this thread, and all the MGS-related sources in my news feed for two entire weeks.

even though I have easy access to a 360 I refuse to buy the collectors edition for Xbox I cant go down that life Ill keep hunting for PS4

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;47342401]even though I have easy access to a 360 I refuse to buy the collectors edition for Xbox I cant go down that life Ill keep hunting for PS4[/QUOTE] There is no collector's edition for 360, only PS4 and Xbone. The contents are identical other than the included game anyway. I considered getting one despite my lack of current-gen consoles, but the half-size arm is....eh.... I'd much rather shell out for the Japanese edition, though lord knows it'll be expensive as hell to import.

[QUOTE=Kuddie;47342304]I don't understand why everyone is so scared of the game being spoiled during the 14 day wait for PC.. I mean come on, it's not THAT hard to avoid game news/videos/threads.[/QUOTE] I found out about Paz's death before GZ came out. Spoilers can be fucking tempting.

[QUOTE=Kuddie;47342304]I don't understand why everyone is so scared of the game being spoiled during the 14 day wait for PC.. I mean come on, it's not THAT hard to avoid game news/videos/threads.[/QUOTE] Spoilers always find a way. There's been so many things that I was really hyped for that got spoiled for me one way or the other, it's insane. Even when I'm not looking for it, it always seems to make it's way to places you'd never expect it to.

Wow it really seems like you all have spoiler-magnets or something. I just go outside/stay away from this forum & YouTube and everything will be fine.

[QUOTE=Kuddie;47342601]I just go outside/stay away from this forum & YouTube and everything will be fine.[/QUOTE] I wish I could do the same. I have nothing else to do with my life.

CE for PS4 is back on gamestop, go grab it before it's gone

Once this game comes out, I am not touching the internet until I've completed it. And I'm gonna take my time, no rushing.

I don't have an extra 100 bucks yet :(. i was hoping to be able to go in store to put a downpayment on it and pay the rest when it came out.

It's so tempting but I'm holding out for pc

MGS5 is the big triple-A game of the year [i]everyone[/i] knows about. Even non-MGS related conversations and topics (not specifically here on Facepunch foresay) are going to have people slipping in references or even dropping spoilers like assholes specifically because of its story focus and big release. Thus why people don't want to even touch the internet at all during that time frame.

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;47343116]It's so tempting but I'm holding out for pc[/QUOTE] Buy the CE, sell the actual game part of it to a friend for slightly less, buy the PC version. There you go.

Yeah but i don't get the mgo stuff Kinda meh on just the arm tbh. Want the whole package
