While I pre-ordered a CE in March, my honeymoon ended up being booked Sept 2 to Sept 10. So I get a few hours of play Tuesday night/Wednesday morning before getting on a plane for France for a few days in the Alps in the south, then a few days in Paris.

Nerd-deflated for some time, my nerd-hype/emotion rollercoaster accelerated when I found out that there is a Metal Gear Cafe and Metal Gear Store in Paris to hype the launch. I was very excite to visit this romantic restaurant on my honeymoon. Luckily, we are renting an apartment a few minutes walk away from both locations.

Now this morning, I'm learning that they are shutting down operations around Sept 5, but I wont set foot in Paris until Sept 7.

Honorable Lord Kojima, I know I have wronged you, but must you torture me thus

e/n/tl;dr: I can only play this game for a few hours at launch, and I will also narrowly miss visiting the MGS5 cafe in Paris

Just have your outro music for the wedding be Metal Gear Saga. Did that for mine and hell its even the menu music on the DVD.

Hey if your going to do something goonish make sure you can love and/or laugh at it years later.

So anyone actually find any instances of people being able to buy it in stores in the US vs early shipping? I remember looking like a nut all over NY/NJ when 4 came out. I went all digital this time (well it wasn't even an option back then), but I kind of enjoyed the hunt itself and wondering how it's going now for people. I totally wouldn't buy and then flip a PS4 copy in Philadelphia to play it two days early...really I wouldn't.

Well if you want to pay double for a copy of MGS and live in NYC people have copies and are selling them on Craigslist.

Speaking of preloads, the last thread mentioned a way to queue a game in Steam to begin downloading as soon as it's released via the mobile app, as you can't do it on your PC directly for some reason. How do you do that?

Go into library (on the android app) and looking for the title and select the icon next to it.

It doesn't appear on the mobile app for me yet, but I tested today (with some bundle fodder game) - if you leave your computer on at home, you can log in via the app on your phone and tell your computer to start downloading. So I'm going to do that when it becomes available.

Yep, that's what I did for Shadowrun and it worked perfectly.

Yeah, I put like 20 hours into GZ around the time it got released, but I went back and played some of it a week or 2 ago and I still wasn't bored of it. There's so much to do and to discover.

Best part is from the streams I've seen, the whole game world is even more detailed than Camp Omega.

For people looking for extraction music I feel it would be remiss not to remind people of Reign in Blood, Brad Fiedels score to the original Terminator, and the new self titled release by Gunship.

Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were two Italian-Americans living in Massachusetts. In 1921, they were convicted of murder and armed robbery. This conviction probably had more to due with the fact that they were both outspoken, anti-government anarchists, on top of being foreign.

No, it wasn't.

So $NZ 0.013/MBC or $US 0.085/MBC.

Or about a cent per MBC, depending on conversion rates and Konami greed

What the hell is the price list for items when the smallest amount is like $15?

Looking forward to burning up my ps4 by leaving it running all day to research stuff while I'm at work.

Hey research logistics planning buddy.

Just remember to disable rest mode.

Personally I don't mind unlock options since for some games like BF4 I just did not have time to play a lot where I could unlock all the stuff I wanted. It wasn't out of not being fun, just not having free time at least for the PS4. Hacks should take care of the PC version.

On the PS4 in Australia, the digital copies unlocked right on midnight which is nice.

After getting past the prologue though, I was greeted with a "Installing game data" black screen and a timer that won't go down no matter what I do.

Of course there is no way to screw around with the ps4 clock to trick it into unlocking early right?

* You can carry over save data from either the PlayStation®4 or PlayStation®3 versions of METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES to the PlayStation®4 version of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN.

I forget does the PS3 still allow people to add custom saves on it via USB or is that no longer allowed once a game had trophies (like mgs4 eventually did)?

The game is released in Australia since it is the 1st of September here so you can legitimately play it. Like I said, the problem comes in after you play through the prologue and then claims it needs to install something only to not do a drat thing.

Oh I understand I just meant for people not in Australia.

You know VPN tricks and the like.

You can still do it if you hack the saves basically. There's a program I think it's called PS3 saves breaker or something where you remove the UserID of a saved game and replace with your own. I used it to change an EU save of a game to a NA save. It doesn't require your PS3 to be modded if done correctly.

Oh sweet. Thanks that will certainly come in handy for me.
