I'm on a GTX970 and cranked everything up to max. The gameplay and ingame cutscenes work perfectly, but 2 cut-scenes that i've seen so far (that i think are pre-rendered) don't. There was one during the intro and then there's the flashback to Ground Zeroes you gt during the helicopter scene at the end of the first mission.

I get some weird drops and hitches occasionally on my 970. I think it's related to the game streaming poo poo, which it might also be doing during the cutscenes?

It is a Metal Gear game, I don't think we can convincingly prove that the game isn't 8 hours long but Ocelot has convinced us of events we expect happened in the remainder.

I was in one of the first missions and heard "Kids In America" and assumed I could get a cassette tape but couldn't find any prompts to steal anything or take a thing from the radio. Am I just going nuts?

Given that all the missions are now leaning toward huge sprawling environments with tons of guards I really, really want a silenced sniper rifle. Instead the jerks on my base keep offering lots of killing weapons. Pacifism is hard work. :saddowns:

Now that you've told me this I don't think I'm going to use the tranq pistol again. Just kneecap everyone!

There's only a chance of it working, however. There's a significant chance they die on the way up (usually I see a 30% indicator if they're on the ground mortally wounded)

For whatever reason there are tons of radios that look like they're turned on but don't do anything. I think that one is in the room below the radio that doesn't do anything.

The radio downstairs has the tape. Maybe you're just staring at another radio upstairs or something? And you hear the music and don't realise it comes from another radio?
Anyway, you can collect the tape in that level, and then you can set it as helicopter music :D

So how long does it take on average before you can develop enough to make a Fulton that can steal cars? Because I'm already in Africa, and I feel like I should be stealing cars already.

Played a little more yesterday. So far I'm enjoying it and I think the stealth is quite good but I do have some issues with it.

Too much downtime between missions: While I appreciate that the game tracks stats, I feel like there's way too much lag between when you end a mission and when you can get back into the new one. Loading screens, helicopter rides and briefings all contribute to this.

The desert is a super boring environment visually, although dust storms are a pretty cool mechanic.

Speaking of mechanics, there's too many of them. Do we really need to be able to fulton animals for example? Just makes the completionists out there lose their minds. And why is my stealthy super-soldier knocking over bottles and pots and poo poo and causing a big ruckus? Like, I understand how it contributes to gameplay but it doesn't make a lot of sense in-universe.

Also, I want to be able to peak through doors.

So yeah, I'm enjoying the game a lot, just wanted to throw some criticism into the maelstrom of good vibes.

I mean it was pretty funny the first couple times I did it, especially to the bear, but it strikes me as the kind of thing that will feel like an obligation once you've been playing for ~20 hours.

Yes, we need all of them it's a Kojima tradition. Games can become bloated with excess of mechanics, but in this case optional mechanics adds lots of flavor for different kinds of players.

The game has some supernatural elements but how are knocked over bottles not supposed to make sound in-universe ? He's as stealthly as you control him :confused:

Is there way to make load-outs, like I'm going to sneak in Afghanistan so I select the load-out with sand camo, tranq gun, and silent sniper rife or I'm going to shoot this base up so I choose the load-out with combat armor, a magnum, and a machine gun?

Also there's no way to be completely "naked" as in start with no weapons? I always have to have a primary and secondary weapon?

I just mean it doesn't make sense to me that big boss, literally considered to be the most adept soldier of all time, can't walk close to a bottle without swinging his arms into it and smashing it to the ground.

So this is for a bit into the future but is there going to be a reason to bring DD or Quiet along instead of Horse? I mean sure you could just drop a vehicle with you but those things are noisy and you get spotted super easily in them. Unless you can ride DD or Quiet around the huge rear end map i don't see a reason?

Unfortunately I don't think the former is a thing. As for the latter, not sure if you can do it normally, but later on once you unlock Hard Mode versions of missions there are variants where you HAVE to enter them completely "naked" as you describe and scavenge any equipment from the field

You have 3 loadouts, you swap them with the shoulder buttons of some sort on the screen you pick gear. Its pretty great when you are a miser and don't want to spend materials on fancy toys when you just want to run around collecting junk in free roam.

Some preview said you eventually unlock a equipment-less difficulty setting so we can live out our dreams of procure on site in new game +
