Peace Walker requires you to roll with some weird poo poo; you have to like the surreal funny side of Metal Gear to enjoy it. Luckily, I do like that.

It has loving grinding in it though. It's not required except for the very end / postgame but that still sucks. Grinding boss fights in an MGS game isn't something I want to do.

In my eyes, the only major flaw in Peace Walker is that it replaces all the crazy and interesting human bosses of the other MGS games and replaces them with giant robots. It's kind of cool since it's like you're fighting another Metal Gear every 5 missions or so, but I was kind of hoping to fight more men that shoot bees at you.

I'm thinking Skullface might just be a placeholder voice of sorts. Maybe he is a character from a past game and they just didn't want the voice to reveal it months before the game even comes out.

Don't forget he was breeding POISONOUS ZANZIBAR HAMSTERS for his own evil ends!
And somehow managed to brainwash every soldier in the Zanzibar Land army into freezing completely when the national anthem is played.

I'm hoping Big Boss isn't retconned into being a nice guy who's merely framed as the villain by the Patriots. I want to see 2 desperate men throw away all their morals for revenge. The shittier BB's situation is, the more drastic the measures he takes until he's recruiting soldiers nicknamed "Shoot Gunner" and "Jungle Evil".

Kojima might as well make Metal Gear Solid 6 and 7 have you play as Major Zero to get any idea of why he's such a prick that needs to be stopped, If they won't accurately portray him as a Villain in 5. He murdered most of your people and made you lose everything, including an arm and 9 years of your life. Sounds like a good start so far.

Can someone explain to me in short layman terms what Kaz has been doing? I've tried to read the metal gear wiki but my eyes just glaze over at the walls of text.

Basically the entire plot of Peace Walker was a huge plot by Kaz who was collaborating with Zero in order to grow MSF into the world's greatest military ocean funhouse. Kaz didn't really mean to hurt Big Boss with it but I don't think he'd be pleased to hear his 2nd in command was working with his worst enemy.

The "creative differences" was probably Konami wanting Kojima to do a dozen more Metal Gear sequels, Kojima refusing because he'll probably be burned out on Metal Gear come September, then Konami throwing a shitfit and firing him

From all of Kaz's rants in the trailers it sounds like Kaz is going off the deep end too, the split's probably going to come from them both being totally batshit crazy, just in different ways.

some of the best parts of the MGS series have been about the cool boss fights against people with weird powers and poo poo, and for PW they decided instead to turn it into monster hunter where the monster can carpet bomb you

Are we going to have to put D-Horse out of its misery or is he safe because we did the same to Boss's horse already?

D-Horse is invincible, as the previews apparently say.

Hopefully that means we get to see strategies where you strap C4/Sleep Gas Mines onto your horse and send them towards enemies

- the game will loving own
- most previewers didn't play Peace Walker and have trouble understanding the lack of codec
- people played for 15 hours and didn't even see half of the story, playtime may go into triple digits if you're intent on getting the 100%
- it's not really open world because each mission takes place in a big designated hot zone
- you can freeroam the whole map though picking stuff up and completing sideops
- some of the songs on the collectable casettes are "disappointing covers of a classic tune" (Eurogamer)
- Sutherland has really few lines and everybody made the "he was expensive" comment
- some people didn't have any options to customize mother base but maybe they didn't unlock them yet
- there are probably more buddies than the dog, horse, quiet and mech
- Johnny: one of the tapes contains the sounds of one soldier making GBS threads himself
- there's a second silly hat you get if you suck really bad and fail using the chicken hat
- the game will loving own

How else do you "bring them [diamond] with us to battle"?

Unless they maybe just simple jewelry or just put that poo poo in the pocket but that sounds too boring for Kojima.

instead of empty magazines you throw diamonds which is a much better distraction imo

That's true. I wonder what jam Big Boss will get Jackie out of this time? :ohdear:

I like Sean Istone a lot. He did a ton of those MGS4 in-game podcasts and was primarily responsible for the Shadow Moses chapter.

I like the dudes who do those playthroughs, the narrator has a soothing voice.

No MGR2 announcement kinda sucks, but I'm sure Platinum is working on it right now in some capacity.
