I'm sorry to anyone who read that, I glanced at it before but didn't really know what was being said nor did I finish reading it. Sorry Tidis that you had to be the one to point it out :(

I'll still enjoy the gameplay but it's gonna suck that this big reveal at the end of the game isn't going to be a surprise now.

Take that memory, and destroy it. Smash it into the ground, light it on fire, and just bury it. Claim ignorance, you didn't know what those words meant.

Lizk has been topic banned for posting the ending to a game that's not even fully released yet. Wow...glad I didn't see that! We always get copies before the official release here..a friend of mine got his copy 2 days ago.
Yeah, I vividly remember trying to beat Liquid on Extreme. I thought the boxing match was the hard part .. until I got to the very last part. Damn, I almost killed my controller, must have retried at least 30 times to get it right.
And I tried the same thing on MGS2. Managed to get all the extra goodies, cleared it on Extreme, and then I tried my luck with "European Extreme", which makes Extreme look like childs play. After retrying each boss dozens of times, I managed to get through the game up to Vamp. And then I got stuck.
I managed to get Vamp down to the last part of his health, but then he goes insane and NEVER stops for anything. You can dodge him forever, but hitting him is the hardest thing I ever tried to do in a MGS game. He doesn't act that way on other mode. After repeatedly trying it for days, I was never able to figure it out, and sadly never cleared MGS2 on European Extreme. There would have been a way to finish him, but I never figured it out. Lol, I did MGS2 on Extreme too. Now I'm not sure which version I had because localization wasn't a thing here back then, so I could've gotten the US version. It was a fun challenge nevertheless. Gonna spoiler the rest of my comment in case someone hasn't played MGS2 (like Kali <3): the part where you had to fight Rays in succession was insane...I remember having to fight like...20 in a row? And there'd be multiples up at a time.
...but that wasn't the hard part. As was the case with you and Liquid in MGS, the Solidus fight was the toughest for me, but mainly because I barely beat the Ray fight with a sliver of Life gauge left, andthe game was mean and didn't restore any Life...so I had to do a flawless fight against Solidus..fun times!

I most likely won't ever play MGS2 :) but thank you for being considerate to others!

Found random artwork of MGS5 while looking stuff up, thought it was pretty well done.

EDIT: I apologise, I should have called him Big Boss.

Keeping my talk about the game in spoiler tags. What the hell is happening? I can't work it out, a fire man, riding a fire unicorn, then Ocelot comes out of nowhere and saves my hide, who is the bandaged man? I'm sure that'll be a nice plot twist later on.
Oh and S ranked the first mission, like a baller I know

Definitely neat, but a little too jumpy. I would have liked to be able to follow it a little easier.

About the burning man and the whale (just speculating);
The burning man's outfit looks much similar to that of Volgin. It is hard to catch but there are a few close ups and you can see some details that matches what he wore under his coat in MGS3 (see the boss battles). I think he is able to shoot back projectiles due to his body being somewhat magnetic or w/e (even in death) and the kid is forcing his body to use that ability. He also resists missiles but I think they explode right before hitting him due to some magnetic or telekinetic hocus pocus or his outfit is just ridiculously durable.
I believe the burning part is just halucination. Big Boss watched him burn atop Shagohod in MGS3. It is probably a reference to that event. He might be burning for real though to make him look even more terrifying for the enemy, but when you shoot someone and see him not being affected, you don't need to see him burn as well to understand you sould run away, so that sounds pretty redundant.
MGS3 was set in 1964 and I can't say how they could have preserved the body for 20 years in that form. However, this is MGS and there is always a weird in-universe explanation (or simply "nanomachines"). Maybe they mummified him with some modifications to his outfit (which was most likely stuck to his skin) and the mask on his head is also a part of the mummification process.
The whale is pretty interesting too, as it actually destroyed an object, so it can't be complete halucination. Ocelot points at "whaling ships" when they arrive at a cliff that oversees a port. That whale is probably a boat or even a real blue whale telekinetically thrown at the helicopter by the kid, but for whatever reason, Big Boss sees it as a freaking huge whale in flames. And, the pegasus that appears right after the whale? It is probably Ocelot and d-horse, which again seen in a ridicilous form by Big Boss. Why do I think that? Ocelot appears in front of him out of nowhere on a horse just as he gets up and starts running.
Besides those two, I would also like to talk about one of the xray films of Big Boss. The last film the doctor shows him displays bone fragments and teeth buried in his torso... That is pretty disturbing when you think about it. Those teeth probably belonged to Paz :S I can't wait to see what that scene where they wake up a blond girl in one of the trailers is all about. They can build all that jazz in 1984, so why not an android? But, please no resurrection BS.

Played through the prologue last night. While It was a nice way to get me into the game and I enjoyed it... I was also like "This is so ridiculous" xD How many times can one man cheat death.

I was laughing my *** off but that's MGS for you, it only plays with reality before dropping you off the cliff of 'nanomachines, son!'

Considering that both Big Boss and Solid gets caught at least once and tortured in every game before being saved by someone and that the antagonists refuse to kill them when they get the chance to make things needlessly dramatic for everybody, yeah, that wasn't surprising for someone familiar with the series XD
Also, for when there is no realistic explanation to make, there is always the nanomachines or foxdie. Need someone to stay alive? Nanomachines. Need someone to die? Foxdie. Problem solved!

Ya I enjoyed it.. but I expected like perfection because everything looked so great. and then I see my eyelids when i blink, and im like, ok i guess his eyes are just getting use to being used again whatever.
Then the doc shows my reflection and the camera blinks but big boss doesn't. I saw that as an oversight. but still was fun.
"Ok get on the ground and crawl. we will blend in with the bodies. Ok stop or we will die. Just lay there and pretend to be dead." Boss.. he said lay there not have your head up looking at the enemy coming right at you... boss seriously just put your head down!
Reviews are out, and it's looking good for the early reviews (but could simply be scores for good publicity). We'll see more of what people think about it in the coming week up to release, but here they are:
Summary:
DESTRUCTOID - 9/10
EGM[NOW] - 9.5/10
GAMESPOT - 10/10
GAMETRAILERS - 9.3/10
IGN - 10/10
LazyGamer - 9.2/10
