Yeah, I alway thought of it as an offline MMO. No one listens to me, but maybe you will. Stop using Sharla and Reyn as soon as you get the other characters.
And X only shares the battle system with Blade. Except X battle system is much, much more complex. The rest like world design, mission design and story are totally different!
I have only ever controlled Shulk. Playing it as a one character RPG. Gonna have to control the party more as an MMO and switch things up a bit.
Thinking more about the brilliant move at Konami to appoint a new CEO who is in love with his cell phones....this is obviously why Silent Hills was canned. Because the asshole would rather make a mobile SH game....ooooh that's gonna be scary! Do you guys know how lucky we are to be getting one last real Metal Gear? If MGS5 wasn't so deep in development, the assclown would have probably canned that too!
I seriously hope this isn't going to be a trend beyond Konami in Japan. Because if it is, I guess I won't be enjoying too many games from the companies of my youth going forward.
?
is shit? Don't you mean 'da shit' or something like that? The lower the ping the better man!
I fully expect Capcom to go mostly mobile in a few years.
I'm surprised they didn't do it already....normally Konami reacts to what Capcom does.

"Oh what a day, what a yiffy day!"
MGSV will be the greatest game ever . I say that a lot but this time I mean it.
Minor spoilers ahead:
Europe got to release impressions for an hour. Here are some tweets.
THIS IS AMAZING STUFF, minor gameplay spoilers ahead:
“Arrived at a temple carved into a mountain on a horse that’s pimped with camo-armor. The moonlight makes me look like Zorro m/ #MGSVPreview”
“iDroid map tracks tanks’ journey, to help plan attack. Pumping manpower into Mother Base Intel team improves map details too. #mgsvpreview”
“This sixth mission offers as much freedom and stuff to do as the entirety of Ground Zeroes. Truly GOTY material. #MGSVPreview”
“Really good example of ‘open world’ stealth as you have a large region in which to ambush the vehicles. #mgsvpreview”
“I spent most of the 1st hour of the mission gathering medicinal plants and hunting birds. Yeah, you can do that. And it’s ace. #MGSVPreview”
“After a day with #MGSVPreview, what I like the most is the polishing, despite being months from launch.”
“Fan of David Lynch? Yeah, you’ll enjoy playing what I’m playing now. #MGSVPreview”
“The world is huge, the options are endless… And Big Boss is more Big Boss than ever #MGSVPreview ”
“There are secondary missions you can have Diamond Dogs members to complete [like Outer Ops in Peace Walker]”
“Mission throws in bonus objectives – free a political prisoner being transported, or ambush an arms truck for rocket launcher. #mgsvpreview”
“I finally found the weapon and something incredible happened after (MGS fans will love this). Really wish I could tell you all #MGSVPreview”
“The game doesn’t follow your conventional MGS formula. It’s new and fresh and I’m sure newcomers will love it. #MGSVPreview”
“After finishing the mission all I could say is wow. It’s one of those games that people will keep playing for hours. #MGSVPreview”
“The attention to detail is incredible: the day light effecting your vision, wild life, and 80s music. I freaking love this. #MGSVPreview”
“My favourite part? You can steal tapes of 80s pop songs and play them mid-mission as your own soundtrack. #mgsvpreview”
“Blowing up tanks to The Man Who Sold the World is pretty spectacular. #mgsvpreview”
“I also upgraded my iDroid so I can play music out loud – not great for stealthy runs, but good for dramatic entrance. #mgsvpreview”
“OK, one last thing: if a certain MGS1’s villain’s mindfuckery was your thing, then The Phantom Pain will be right up your alley. X, Sam”
“So, let’s talk Mission 7. Here’s an interesting fact – we’re doing this one AFTER mission 10. Goodbye linear mission orders. #mgsvpreview”
“By the way, the loadout is totally our call. Want to take nowt but rockets (provided you’ve researched them?) and ‘nades? Sure! #mgsvpreview”
“Our loadout includes a silenced AM MRS-4 assault rifle, a RENOV-ICKX sniper rifle, the WU S.Pistol for tranq darts, and C4… #mgsvpreview”
“TPP is ALL about gathering intel to press forward. By systematically interrogating guards we uncover the meeting room. #mgsvpreview
“But we’re old school, so we choose to be quiet. We picked the mission start time at night, so it’s dark. That gives us the edge #mgsvpreview”
“The action is so good that it’s always a temptation to go in loud. And there are gun emplacements everywhere to tempt you… #mgsvpreview”
“Each mission has its own contained story but the overarching lore has its… moments. We’ll say no more!”
“…and plant some C4 in the expected path of one jeep. Boom, one target down, and the base infiltration gets a lot easier. #mgsvpreview”
“Thanks to our Intel team, their expected routes are on the iDroid map. So we pick our heli drop off point far to the south… #mgsvpreview”
“So, three targets and total freedom on how to approach. One target is already at the location, but the other two are en route. #mgsvpreview”
“Every small town feels like classic MGS setup, with multiple infiltration points and routes. #mgsvpreview”
Google Translate:
“When it starts the mission is set type movie , with the cast , the main characters and guest stars #MGSVPreview”
“Before each mission, you can personalize equipment: swimsuit, primary and secondary weapon, explosives, companion and character #MGSVPreview
“Work on accompanying music is enormous . Positional audio , enveloping soundtrack that adapts to the pace of the game . #MGSVPreview”
“Before you can choose a mission #buddy! The horse or #Wolf? #mgsvpreview”
We're going to cry like men during the ending credits.
Complete gameplay freedom all while listening to 80s music!!!!! Oh and the boss fights will be like past MGS games not PW
Yeah, I'm certain MGSV is goty for me. We will see. If there is a MGSSix there will never be the incredible amount of detail, care and love that Kojima puts into this series. If this is Kojima's Metal Gear swan song, then it sounds like a great way to go.
There already is a Metal Gear 4.
oops. Fixed
Why the fuck is PSN down again? The worst network ever, XBlive blows the shit out of PSN.
Lizard Squad is claiming to have done it.
