    you don't actually have to do anything, you just have to join the lobby and then let your PS3 sit for a few hours

    I'm guessing Huey's getting tortures in the trailers because they start to suspect that he deliberately set them up so that xof could break them

    ground zeroes
    the evidence against him is not unfounded

    big boss and kaz wanted to reject the inspection but huey hastily sent an acceptance letter without their permission

    then, he apparently made it out of the attack unscathed

    skull face says "the scientist was our way in" which could mean that huey inadvertently let them in by sending the letter just because he really believed in the IAEA prasing them as the poster boys of world peace, but I don't know man
    Maybe Huey suddenly realised that helping 2 supermercs and their private army become a nuclear power was a bad move. I mean sure, building giant weapons is one thing, but seeing them suddenly steal a nuke and mount it on his creation might just have been a step too far for him.

    it wouldn't surprise me if S Ranks are super difficult to get without the no-kill bonus

    It's a 5000 point bonus, this is what the point scale can look like http://i.imgur.com/Si5aaId.jpg

    Looks like it's gonna be the alerts that'll tank the score right quick. I'm curious to see what the bonus score for the
    Perfect Stealth, No Kill is.

    The points for headshots and takedowns make me wonder how holdups will be scored. It would be weird if they were the least point efficient. That screenshot may not show everything though

    I finally started playing Ground Zeroes on my own last night after having it on my Xbox since.... around when it released.

    It's really, really fun. But you all know that!

    I've been wondering about how time is scored

    If you take your time, but don't kill anyone or get any alerts, is that worse than killing a few people to save thirty seconds or so

    I think it would be, but who knows? It seems like Ground Zeroes scores differently than Phantom Pain

    one thing i will say about peace walker is that in the standard missions it's a lot more straightforward on how you get an s rank

    do it under this time without any kills or detections

    nice quick and to the point

    the PP system is a lot harder to figure out

    which is probably because they want to make s ranking possible for a variety of play styles but still

    One thing I would like is if PP actually gave you the score breakpoints, like get 30k for A, 23k for B etc once you have cleared a given mission. It would make it a lot more friendly to know how close you are getting. Case in point it took me a fair few goes to get Jamis Vu S ranked, but I've no idea how much leeway I had once I got there. Was my time good enough to eat a reflex or not? It's a mystery!

    I'm going to try hard to not worry about ranking for my first time through missions and live with whatever shit goes down. I'll probably try and be sneaky and obsessively neutralize and extract every enemy in however much time that takes, but if stuff starts popping off not hesitate to take out the lethal weapons

    I S ranked that extract intel guy mission the other night.

    That stun revolver is to stronk. One shotting dudes from 50 meters away with body shots.

    If there are more non-lethal weapons as good as that one in TPP I might not be going lethal very often after all.

    It's kinda like the Revengeance ranking system in that way.

    I remember Chip Cheezum saying that--for some battles--it's way easier to go for one type of bonus over another (like time vs zandatsus).

    I appreciate that PP's system is designed to be more flexible.

    new ranking system proposal:

    hideo kojima teleconferences in and watches your mission performance with the power of transfarring

    if he likes your style, you get an s-rank

    repeat fifty more times and he confers upon you the rank of 'Big S'

    just gotta join the lobby and then let your PS3 sit

    So I was watching a stream of someone messing around at Mother Base and heard this little dialogue gem with Ocelot...

    Spoilers for those who want to stay completely in the dark. Nothing story related.
    A soldier was at the shooting range and was trying to show off the same way Ocelot did in MGS3 and Ocelot gave him the speech Snake gave him.

    meanwhile 1.9% of all peace walker players got the platinum trophy

    which is obviously not a big number but i'm shocked that it's even as big as it is

    When the Platinum rate is even close to 1%, that means either a very easy Platinum or a playerbase of insane people

    And we know what this one is

    So far it mostly overlaps with the gameplay videos that have already been shown off. Only the second video, which shows off mission 1 (they were uploaded out of order), has something spoilery near the end which you may want to skip if you want to experience a cool moment blind.

    Today's episode was a mission that hasn't been shown before, but it's pretty generic and short so it doesn't really spoil much

    Edit: the cinematic at the start of the first episode, for mission 2, you may also want to skip. It just contextualizes lines that have already been heard in trailers, but they talk all over it which may tarnish the experience for you

    man

    i'm messin' around in vs. mode a bit whlie boosting my camaraderie and now I'm remembering how much of a blast MGO in MGS4 was

    it had all kinds of cool stuff, like if you stayed close to someone else your nanomachines would sync up, and once you split up your radar would expand to include information form their radar

    and one super awesome mode where one player played as Snake against a whole team of guards, and he had to steal each player's dog tags before they killed him like three times

    If it hadn't been locked behind konami's god-awful online system i would have played that game to death

    so i'm actually really looking forward to phantom pain's MGO

    MGO2 was the first and really the only online multiplayer game I got significantly invested in

    when you got the right group of people together doing tourney TSNE it was a thing of beauty

    there's really, truly nothing out there that's quite like metal gear online, I hope the new edition can preserve its spirit while bringing all the login and matchmaking stuff in line with the rest of games today

    and also that it will survive past like, Q1 2016
