Ah, touche. You do need to sit in front of the game for at least an hour before you actually take control of Snake and play properly.

Sounds like the MGS i know and love then! hehe

Seriously tho, can't wait to play it.. think i'l start it on friday night when the mrs is at work :laugh:

I love the idea of those but it reduces the max camo percentage you can have... :(

If you wear the big boss camo, which is actually solidus ;) it makes soliders cry and run away scared when you're close to them :p

Does killing robots and machines count towards kills?

No, only living and breathing enemies!

You have to tranq/stamina kill bosses as well - Vamp doesn't mater so I've heard. B&Bs have to be tranqed/stamina killed though.

Anyone think the Rex vs Ray face off was AWESOME?! :woot:?

That was amazing. I really liked that. :yes:

It's a lot more fun when you start being a bit creative with it.

First time around I just hammered missiles at RAY, but the second time I started ramming it, using the context-sensitive attacks (Triangle), and using lots of different methods to hurt it in fun ways.

It lasted a LOT longer, but I really enjoyed it!

Ending spoilers...

Did anyone else start hammering Triangle when you put Snake through his long walk/crawl through the Microwave? Gut wrenching scene :( Especially when Otaccon is saying "Cmon Snake, just a little further...".

Anyone think the Rex vs Ray face off was AWESOME?! :woot:?

I went freaking crazy when I saw the Mk.III plugged up to Rex and I was like, Holy Hell I get to drive Rex!!! Then I got to roll with him down the hall. And then Ray popping out! Wow, that was incredibly exciting This game just gets more incredible.

I can't wait to finish the game so I can go back and reread this thread. I skipped all the spoilers related to the finale. Thanks for mentioning that it pertained to the end or I would have ruined it :)

I wouldn't play guessing games before finishing!

Some people just post anything in tags, which is fair enough, it's tagged - But you could easily highlight something you don't know! :pinch:

Hope you enjoy the end :)

Well although I all but knew it was for real, just to confirm it without a doubt the game definitely keeps going with time when you have it paused.

I just watched the Mission Briefing for Act II, meaning I did not even start playing Act II yet, and according to the stats in the briefing I have been playing it for 30 hours and 36 minutes. :|

I am not sure how or why Kojima would overlook something so simple in the grand scheme of things considering everything else down to the smallest detail has been covered so amazingly well, but in all fairness, an insane amount of amount of developers do this as well. Not sure if it is some major hurdle in programming, but it would have been nice if it did not keep track of time while the game was paused. Oh well. Gives me incentive to play the game again, something I rarely do these days due to time constraints.

Well you can save at any time Larry, I don't think the game is "meant" to be paused for 20-25 hours :p (Estimate as most folk complete Act 1 in 3-6hours-ish).

Why would you pause a game for so many hours :laugh: ?

Because unfortunately MGS doesn't always make it easy to see when you've hit a checkpoint. I ended up playing for over an hour longer than I meant to yesterday because I wanted to get to the next checkpoint.

Unless you're in the middle of a cutscene, as I said above it let's you save at any point during open gameplay?

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
