Just finished it myself, no horses as far as I can see.

The ending is probably the best cutscene I've ever seen in a game. Absolutely amazing how far games have come.

Cannot wait for the phantom pain now. Kojima has said that it'll be over 200 times bigger.

What ranks are people getting on completion? This was my second run through


Will try for an 'S' rank over the weekend.

mine is currently downloading

Can't believe I've just paid over 20 quid for that.

Finished it in an hour and 20 mins but got a c rank after getting caught by a camera and all he'll ensuing!

Great game and the new fox engine is fantastic ! Will be playing again to get the fox badges and unlock the raiden mission

Little short but the potential for the next game is huge

[Devilstreak]

Done it just unlocked gray fox as well. Nostalgic!

Some of the extra missions are going to be hard to S Rank.

Had to turn reflex off as it shouldn't be in a mgs game I dont think.

[GarryDK]

Finished my first run through. Now doing it again love the dynamics of the game. Couple of glitches if you get on the roof tops but that’s minimal. What an epic ending though!

No recent thread for this?

It's out a week on Tuesday people!

Most recent gameplay demo from Gamesom, I think it looks immense:

I still resent the fact David Hayter is not voicing Big Boss. They could have at least got Richard Doyle to do it, who did his voice in MGS4

[smithyithy]

It won't bother me too much while I'm Fulton-ing dozens of goats to my Mother Base while listening to Take On Me on the in-game tape player

[The Beaver King]

It's really weird; all the videos and reviews I've seen have pegged it as amazing, yet there doesn't seem to be any major hype around it...?

I've got a few days book off around release time, so I'll be smashing out some game time on this.

Really excited! It's been ages since I've played MGS.

Does anyone know what the gameplay time of this will be? Hopefully it won't be another 2 hour special.

I've read articles stating 50 hours to complete the story, which will equate to around 50% total game completion, so 100 for 100% completion.

Apparently Kojima is worried it might be 'too long' which is saying something

[The Beaver King]

Yeah, this isn't a 'Ground Zero' special. It is a full game, so except circa 100 hours game play (ignoring speed runs etc).

They've held some advanced review events for the media and apparently one tester played for 8 hours (completing 6 main missions and 4 side missions) and this showed up as 5% completion.

Multiplying that out gives you 400 hours; but I'm guessing this involves lots of exploring time. 100-200 hours of normal gameplay seems about right.

Amazing! First 'proper' MGS game since some of the originals, then!
