Metal Gear Megathread V - Kojima's been wanting out since MGS2 - Games

[QUOTE=Tuskin;53149913]It's up to the developers to set it right, not steam.[/QUOTE] A lot of these delays have ended up being on Steam's end. Happened for the Tomb Kings DLC for Total War Warhammer. Someone on their end has to actually verify the release iirc. Basically I have almost never seen something release exactly on time.

Maybe if I keep refreshing I'll see the game is released... [IMG]https://it.doesnt.fit/mjdpzn.png[/IMG] Ah, nope. That's not what I wanted to see. [video]https://youtu.be/FDHxXUE1_SU[/video]

I mean the release dates on a lot of websites said February 22nd, contrary to the Feb 21st I saw on steam, so maybe I shoulda listened to that

blueballed as fuck

Surely people are about to kick up a fuss so they'll probably say something

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;53149941]Surely people are about to kick up a fuss so they'll probably say something[/QUOTE] Can confirm that steam discussion forum has exploded.

page seems to redirect to steam home now

[QUOTE=RichyZ;53149961]it's intermittently directing to home but sometimes back to the store page with 23 hours remaining makes u do a thinky[/QUOTE] they're tryin [I]real hard[/I]

in case you forgot that Steam is the worst

I think they probably told a guy to set the clock back a little, and since its at a time in time zones where it could be the 21st and 22nd simultaneously (its 21st 7pm here) they set it to the wrong fuckin date then they probably deleted the page to stop it from being seen with the new countdown causing people to think it was set back [editline]21st February 2018[/editline] [media]https://twitter.com/RomanjiAlexina/status/966470392280961025[/media]

It's up now, unpacking for me boys.

Why are you guys supporting Konami for their terrible business practices? This isn't MGS and you know it.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;53150097]Why are you guys supporting Konami for their terrible business practices? This isn't MGS and you know it.[/QUOTE] Yeah fuck Konami, fuck this trash game I'm hitting up Metal Gear Acid.

Consider me one of the people susceptible as fuck for this game, but then I realized Metal Gear Rising had that similar department whereas Kojima had some bit parts in character development and the setting. Sure Konami is vile as fuck for putting Kojima and co hell, but I'm not denying that the developers are trying their damnest to make this game [I]not suck without him for good.[/I] Didn't someone point out that the story for the game mirrors Kojima's final years before he left?

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;53150097]Why are you guys supporting Konami for their terrible business practices? This isn't MGS and you know it.[/QUOTE] I hate Konami as much as the next guy, but if the game is fun the game is fun. Also what really is MGS? Is it a tactical espionage thriller, or a bunch of dudes in strange clothes yelling about robots? This is a franchise that has so much crazy shit in it that it hardly seems out of place to have weird ass zombies.

Has anyone actually gotten the preorder items

So I just got 50k heroism out of nowhere in MGSV. Any idea why?

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;53150303]Has anyone actually gotten the preorder items[/QUOTE] Nope, I got my beta items though. Sad the bandana isnt giving me infinite ammo...

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;53150303]Has anyone actually gotten the preorder items[/QUOTE] You have to go to your repository and get them from your supply box.

Oh yeah. I should mention that the scavenger missions for co-op start at chapter... 9 if im not mistaken? You'll know it when you see it if you got in the beta. Good news - [sp] You don't have to keep feeding the drill constantly to speed it up, it seems. It will continue at an accelerated pace as long as a zombie doesnt breathe on it. [/sp] Bad news - [sp] The mobs are level 20 on that first co-op mission, and thats on easy! Also i think if you match make you can get pulled into other missions you may have not unlocked yet. I had two randomers level 1 and 2 put in my mission and needless to say, they didn't do too much, so watch yourself. [/sp] Also, Chapter 11 is pretty [i] fun. [/i] Bring fire.

Sucks you can't wear the patch and bandana simultaneously. Still wondering where the preorder shit is tho

You can't seem to wear a hat as well as the eye patch. Kinda daft, im sure that was a thing in MGO3 or i might just not be remembering correctly.

Bandana + patch will be dlc.

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;53150328]You have to go to your repository and get them from your supply box.[/QUOTE] NOT the beta and mgsv items The preorder. Face paints, gold weapons, emotes

do I have this straight, the only multiplayer component of this game is the wave defence missions from the demo?

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;53150424]NOT the beta and mgsv items The preorder. Face paints, gold weapons, emotes[/QUOTE] Those....should have been in there as well

[QUOTE=krail9;53150429]do I have this straight, the only multiplayer component of this game is the wave defence missions from the demo?[/QUOTE] Why is it Konami refuses to have any sort of proper online modes that aren't underwhelming and/or shite?
