Has anyone tried the buddyapp on their phone/tablet?

Can't find a shop selling this for less than 25 and one of them was pre-owned.

I have no idea whats in the xbox exclusive mission, but if it's not as good as De Ja Vu I think fans are missing out.

Jamais Vu, best mission on the disc bar ground zeroes.

The base is taken over by body snatchers and Raiden complete with Rising character model and lightning run animation, is sent in to kill the snatchers and incapacitate the remaining marines. Ends with a good little battle and you gotta take down a chopper, was good fun. Real quality mission to plan out getting an S rank.

awesome, i'd like for it to come to both but i feel the ps4 one is very sony themed, probably won't happen. at least everyone gets evac the agent!

Yeah its bit of a loss, I'm not sure whether they may try sell them as DLC at some point, maybe they're only exclusive for 6 months or something? Its a shame you can't experience them both.

My favourite aside from Ground Zeroes and Jamais Vu had to be the one where you have to destroy the anti air emplacements. Rescuing all the prisoners and taking on the tank at the end was good fun.

The PS exclusive mission references the PS1 and sony a few times, not sure what that means. 

i've had lots of fun in most of them! seem to be many ways to do them, granted, usually only one 'S' rank way.

i really like how having the whole base open means each mission builds into a crescendo as you mark most of the guards, then near the end how it balances as you try to get out un-noticed. some of the most fun i've had is getting noticed seen the end, then calling in a chopper on the other side of the map and making a dash for an exit in a jeep with a passenger with alarms blaring. it's amazing how it can all come together, its just as fun getting out without a single alert.

Couldn't put it all better myself, I'll admit that I'm not sure it would of been worth the £30 to keep it, it only really cost me £8 as I sold it when I'd S ranked them all, but the gameplay within the small environment was fantastic and I look forward to there being a real game to use those mechanics within.

The most fun I had was in planning meticulously the S rank runs and having them like some perfect high score run, the anger of messing it up missing a headshot or mistiming a run between guards etc but the just one more go mentality as a perfect run might only take 13 minutes. That was aces fun.

i can understand. for me, i've always loved the VR missions and i'm getting a lot of fun experimenting with what the game lets you do, and these scenarios provide the perfect sandboxes to play in. i'd be interested to know what undocumented moves people have found. 

so far, i've found you can QCQ someone from behind a wall or corner, Snake will jump out and pull them over. Also the consecutive CQQ from peace walker is in, found this accidentally when i walked into 4 guards, sort of mashed R2 and Snake took them down one by one, left standing amongst 4 unconscious soldiers.  also tapping R2 twice then holding L2 will make Snake do 2 hits and then steal and point their gun at them. trying out some of the new guns as well... that shotgun omg.

vehicles add a new dynamic too. My only concern (for myself) is the lack of interiors.

I can't remember the button presses but using CQC you can take enemies weapons and hold them up which is cool. You can also knock enemies unconscious throwing empty ammo mags at them but only in reflex mode.

the others were without the drama and crazyness of MGS.

did you not play Evac the agent?!!?!

but i do agree to some extent, this needed a boss battle. this is why open world concerns me, the structure of the game could end up resembling one of the portable titles.

Maybe Kojima doesn't like boss battles? Peace Walker had really shit ones. FIGHT A TANK!

Nah I'm indifferent really. Though the fervor behind the theories is entertaining.

Why is the attack on Mother Base not playable? Fucking hell Koj. GAMEPLAY.

Arguably spoils.

edit: not to say it's they're the first of their kind round these parts.

I doubt even Kojima knows what's going on, the mad bastard.

Fair play. His delivery in the opening is a bit off with me though.

Disappointed you can't pat down guards anymore. Though disarming is cool in a pointless way.

So spent about a week with it now and I'm here with the definite verdict.

Freaking love it. Finally, a Metal Gear that plays like I've always imagined in my head. Not even a little buyers remorse paying for a "demo" - already played it dozens of times. 

Low point for me was the gratuitous ending, which was off the scale offensive. Having said that, it has set things up well for an epic revenge saga and I reckon the game proper could be a genuine great.

And as it's essentially a Jack Bauer simulator, Kiefer's doing a fine job as far as I'm concerned.
