Yes

Just play the original ground zeroes mission it'll be like 45-1h with cut scenes, then you're done for the game!

Probably since GZ's story is only 2 hours long, and it has the same control scheme. It will make the opening 1% less confusing also.

That prologue was some of the most horrifying and terrifying stuff I've ever seen in a video game.

I started the first proper mission but decided I am too tired to deal with actual gameplay as soon as I got to the first actual set of guards. That'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Pretty sure that was a pre-order bonus, not GZ import.

I'm just going to fart around tonight and familiarize myself with things, no consequence. I'll import tomorrow on a new save.

THUNDERDOME LOSER
I just got rescued by Ocelot and the game says its "installing game data" and its been siting here at 472 seconds for a while. Is this suppose to happen? At first I thought my game froze and went back to the ps4 main menu but its doing it again.

Not impressed with the performance so far.

THUNDERDOME LOSER
Is there suppose to be some sort of indicator? I thought the PS4 downloaded and installed everything the second I put in the disc. I left the PS4 alone before I started playing.

Is it suppose to sit at a black screen saying "Installing game data Do not turn off the system 472 seconds. It's just sitting here doing nothing.

Like I don't expect the online stuff to work at launch, but the single player game? Come on!

I know this is rubbing salt in the wound but why do devs gently caress up the launch for AMD users Every. Single. Time. You would think they could recognize a pattern
