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?

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
    • The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
