Fellow game havers: Can you return your soldiers salutes at Motherbase? I've tried to salute them back, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. Ditto for interacting with little D-Dog, he just stands there, looking at me, and i'm bummed out that I can't seem to interact with him.

You have a Diddy Kong avatar, and you expect us to believe you've been living under a rock since 1998? Well, actually... maybe you heard of the Metal Gear game on Nintendo? Like that one, this is about a guy named Snake using stealth to get the drop on guards and infiltrate places.

So I jumped back into MGS4 yesterday in preperation for Phantom Pain. And.......I remember why I never finished the game. The cutscene ratio is insane, and after Ground Zeroes the gameplay feels very clunky.

I'll just brace myself, now.

Checked some local places to see if they released early. I asked a person in EB and they pointed me towards GZ saying 'this came out a couple of days ago' and got angry when I tried to correct them, and that I meant TPP. Unfortunately there are no early releases around here :/

maybe my question was a bit too vague, I know what mgs is but I heard this one was open world.

Watched a stream last night and with no spoilers all I can say is the level design I'm scale and layout and depth to Mother base and R&D is astonishing. It's everything were hoping it will be. I had to force myself to cut the stream otherwise I could have just watched it all night. It was that great to watch...helped it wasn't Miller too.

If anyone has tried the PC version... How is PP optimized compared to GZ? My PC's specs are below the minimum requirements for both Ground Zero and Phantom Pain, but I can still play Ground Zero fine, on medium settings, with occasional slowdown. Should I be able to play Phantom Pain? I have a 3.2 GHz Quad CPU, 4 Gigs of RAM, and a XFX Radeon 6950 1Gb. Resolution 1680 x 1050.

Nobody has played the PC version yet, since the Steam requirement makes early retail copies useless and all the reviews were done on PS4. I'm sure it won't be much different to GZ though.

Other than people with PC review code, no one, and they aren't spilling beans.

TPP has the exact same requirements listed on its store page, so what you get in GZ should match in TPP.

There's a Med Unit, right? I don't see why flesh and blood buddies couldn't be handled the same way. They'd just be stuck in the infirmary for a couple of 'days'. Just speculating, but that's what would usually happen to your soldiers who lose all their HP on Outer Ops in Peace Walker.

Oh jeeeeeez - I went through ALL of Outer Ops thinking that sending my best guys on missions left the possibility of them dying for good. That could have been a lot easier!

Watching Greg Miller play TPP is boring. The real deal is watching Peeler becoming more and more miserable with every single video they do. At some point there has to be a moment where he gets up, CQCs Miller in a fit of rage and takes over.

Your boys can die on Outer Ops in Peacewalker. If you send weakling on an S++ mission they'd probably all die.
