SO. Who is psyched for the New MGS game coming out on September 1st? I know i am! It Looks so good! What do you guys think about what we've been shOwn so far? What are your thoughts on the Metal Gear Series as a whole? Comment away. metal_gear_solid_v_the_phantom_pain_by_jfrteam-d607rz4.jpeg
 
TBH the only MGS games i played and finished were the Card games on the psp and Peace walker because i didnt have any consoles,so i am really excited to start my first full metal gear solid experience,most of my experience during peace walker was either with a sniper or with the silenced pistol but the thrill of the stealth was exciting MGS got me into other games like dishonored and the splinter cell series.
this time i own a ps4 so i will probably play it on that but its finally coming out for the pc too so thats a big bonus.
 
@Cloud If you played Peace Walker, you should be fine, Playing the Prologue Chapter of MGSV (Ground Zeroes) isn't necessary, But it's recommended. And by complete, you mean you got to the Second ending of peace walker, or just the First Ending?
I could never wrap my head around the Ac!d games, the gameplay was just too complicated.
 
The acid games were actually quiet fun both of them, i played Peace walker in 2012 so i dont exactly remember which ending i got and frankly i have forgotten most of the story too, one thing i remember is that there was a horrible button mashing event in the game (when you were being captured and tortured) which was so difficult that it made me almost never complete the game.

God. I hated that level. So. Much. And I really wanted to get into the Acid games, but I couldn't. If I were you, if you wanna get caught up to the story of mgsv, a the very least, watch the Peace Walker cutscenes online.

Peace Walker was one of the easiest Metal Gear Games in regards to Stealth, and Phantom Pain/Ground Zeroes are much more realistic. So prepare yourself.

yeah i kinda realized that when i played splinter cell, in peace walker the enemies gave me a lot of time after being spotted and their pathing was pretty easy to predict too,there were several easy spots to lie down in to avoid detection,other games were not so generous.

What a coincidence! I was just listening to Peace Walker's final boss theme.

My biggest concern for the upcoming game is that because Keifer's clearly being paid by the line, I'm worried that they'll drastically reduce the amount of time Snake spends talking. While MGSV seems to retain the series' trademark goofiness, the really fun parts came from codec and radio shenanigans. I'm worried that support team conversations won't be as much of a treat this time around.

On the bright side, it looks like this game has something to do with the formation of FOXHOUND. They're still one of my favorite villain teams after all this time, so I'm pretty excited to see what V has in store.

Snake will rarely speak in-game, however, you can find Cassette Tapes (sorta like Briefing Files in Peace Walker, except you have to find them) that will have more exposition, and will have Snake Talking.

Peace Walker theme, or Love Deterrence?

I'm really excited about it. The single player looks like a positive step forward for the series. The graphics and game play look great! The one thing I'm worried about is multiplayer. I hope the multiplayer is well done and not rushed. I know not everyone is into metal gear's multiplayer, but I actually enjoyed MGS4 multiplayer a lot. I also hope they don't try too hard to please casual players. In my experience, the average Metal Gear fan is not just a casual gamer.

The multiplayer is being delayed to October 3 (I think). And you are right, Metal Gear is not for Casual Gamers, you have to be willing to spend hours trying to do everything right and understand the story. And Metal Gear isn't very Forgiving.

Oh. Well, that explains it. I am not a big fan of Xbox Live. PSN is cheaper. And I would recommend at least playing "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker" first. And maybe even "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater"(which takes place before Peace Walker), as both take place before Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain.
