is anyone else ridiculously excited or is it just me
the build up to the announcement was incredible, the GZ trailer, then the Phantom Pain thing with 'Joakim Mogren', the suspicious interview, the familiar faces and hints in the TPP trailer, and Kojima slyly avoiding discussing it
until today, of course, where he unveiled that Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are in fact the same game. He also showed off the incredible power of the FOX engine, and how he's managing to put out these next-gen graphics on PS3/360 hardware. It's hard to deny how well optimised this engine is for such dated hardware

SOMEONE DISCUSS THIS / HYPE THIS WITH ME |

I hope you enjoy them. I liked Peace Walker but I wasn't a huge fan of it, but Snake Eater remains my second favourite game of all time, I don't think I'll ever get over the ending and how incredibly well designed it was |

Well, if they give it a decent title and turn it into an actual game instead of a movie with playable segments every couple hours perhaps I would be excited. |

"if they give it a decent title"
how is "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" not a good title?
"turn it into an actual game instead of a movie with playable segments"
evidently you haven't played much MGS. It really isn't as cutscene heavy as people make it out to be, it's just at the beginning and end where they explain the story. Kojima has also stated that he's going to cut down on the amount of and length of cutscenes in The Phantom Pain because he feels they are "outdated"

It's silly, the Phantom Pain? What, is the Phantom in Pain? Does the Phantom cause Pain? It doesn't make much sense.

Yes, I played MGS 4 with a friend. We we lost interest not long into the game when we realized that we spent most of the time just watching cut scenes. |

"It's silly, the Phantom Pain? What, is the Phantom in Pain? Does the Phantom cause Pain? It doesn't make much sense."
I could probably piece together a meaning from all the hints, and "phantom pain" is a real thing you know: "Phantom pain sensations are described as perceptions that an individual experiences relating to a limb or an organ that is not physically part of the body." - it could relate to Snake's missing arm during the trailers and how he was in a coma for 9 years
"Yes, I played MGS 4 with a friend. We we lost interest not long into the game when we realized that we spent most of the time just watching cut scenes."
you're very impatient then, MGS4's cutscenes aren't long at all. It's not a great game to play with a friend because more than often the friend is just visiting and wants to just play rather than get involved with the story (since that takes time)
I can see why you lost interest if you weren't allowing yourself to be immersed and focused |

Well could they at least add an S on the end? Even then they could have thought of a lot more interesting titles then that. It sounds like something a fourth grader would put as the title of a short story cause "it sounds cool"

I was trying to allow myself to become immersed. But the problem is I didn't find the story that interesting, I can sit down and become completely immersed in the world of Tamriel or Fallout. I can't despite how much I try sit down and really care about MGS4. |

what would that change? It doesn't sound at all like a "fourth grader" 's story title, that would have no meaning. This on the other hand, has an entire back story and reasoning for the title

you'd probably be more immersed if you knew the rest of the story. I don't know how you expect to jump into the latest entry of a long-running continuous storyline and understand everything which is going on, it's very complex and often convoluted as any fan will tell you
try getting some back story first or playing 2 & 3 at the very least. Then you'll get the characters, their motives, the references, etc etc. The Elder Scrolls and Fallout are built so the player starts fresh each time, and has a different story each time, so of course it's easy to be involved |

Meh, I get the title and where they are coming from I just personally don't like it.

Perhaps. But isn't the fact new players CAN'T jump into a new game without playing 3 (or was it 4? I forget.) other games, all of them on different platforms a bit of a problem? I mean, look at the Elder Scrolls. You can jump into that, not knowing a thing about the other games and get along fine. The game doesn't force you to learn the back story, instead it allows you the option to figure that stuff out yourself if you so desire.
Sure that's harder to do in a game that continues the story of a single character. But it really is a problem and an major turn off to new players. |

yes with your tongue or your ding a long ding dong hue
"Everyone's too dumb to understand the story."
the average gamer nowadays gets confused when I tell them there's 4 Snakes :(
"Perhaps. But isn't the fact new players CAN'T jump into a new game without playing 3 (or was it 4? I forget.) other games, all of them on different platforms a bit of a problem?"
if you own a PS3 you can play every game in the series, if you own a 360 you can play 2 & 3, if you own a PS2/PS Vita you can play 1, 2 & 3, if you own a 3DS you can play 3, it's available on a lot of platforms
if you knew the story of MGS you'd understand why it would be really difficult to condense the story. Especially considering you're complaining about long cutscenes, do you really want to sit through 2 hours of story explanation? I'm not even being overdramatic here, the story has a ton of layers

yes, I tried to play them (they're included in MGS3 HD) but couldn't quite immerse myself since the story was literally "big boss bad. big boss in base. you get big boss." and the gameplay - sorry to say - felt a little too outdated for me
I guess I could go back and try again some day |

"felt a little too outdated for me"
same here
i played them on a msx emulator

MGS4 engine was crazy. That was only 2008 and engines now don't produce better results than how smooth it ran. |
