Doubt the main missions are at that slow of a pace, he mentioned collectibles and extras

Are there new CQC methods to incapacitate/kill your ennemies other than what we've seen so far?

I'm wondering how the mission structure is. Is it like Peace Walker, where you get dropped in an area (say, Afghanistan) to complete a single objective, or do you have the opportunity to complete multiple quest missions before returning to base?
It seems not a single fuck is given in China.
Like Ground Zeroes? Ugh. Sounds like it'll really divide up the 'open world' experience.

So it's like GZ... the TV-serial format.

We saw on gameplays that jeeps can slip on horse turds.
How about other vehicles? Animals, guards and Big Boss himself?

Then play through the story and don't get distracted. The game gives you the option of doing that. You can select a specific story mission to do or simply play around in the open world completing side missions or collecting things.
I did. Had to struggle through it.

That sounds stupid.
Hmmm interesting. Not sure how I feel about that.
Is the weapon level system back from Peace Walker? In PW you had the Mk22 and you started with a level 1 version and you could upgrade it to level 5 (increasing damage and durability of the silencer).
Is OuterOps back?
If you are at Motherbase how do you go to your next mission? And how does replaying missions work?
What's the use of capturing animals?

Then you knows the days of a 'directed area-to-area' experience is gone, since TPP is pretty much Peace Walker 2.

Have you even played Peace Walker? This game is a direct sequel to it.
Even if you rushed through Peace Walker you were looking at close to 30 hours of playtime, Phantom Pain is supposed to be way, way bigger than that.
Also, this all sounds great, but I know spoilers are coming, so it's time to go dark on MGS threads.
I just got to Ground Zeroes and was amazed at how much I enjoyed it considering my general disdain for the rest of the series.
While the small scope of the level got old quick, it did its job - getting me hyped for the full package. If that level of polish can be applied to the much larger scope of TPP, I'll be quite impressed. Can't wait to see more!

Same here, I want some good, fun, & memorable boss battles.
Mission names revealed already it seems. Avoiding spoilers come release week is going to be hard.
The twist is the game was a TV show all along.

The whole 'open-world' thing with MGSV has always been misleading, imo.
It was clear that the game's story is mission-based first-and-foremost, with the open-world thing secondary as more of a game level component, rather than a narrative driver.
Thank god for this honestly.
People are going to hate that. I remember how much flak ME2 got for the Mission Complete stuff.

Have you fought bosses yet? If you have, how do you compare them against the previous MG's? (no need to spoil the boss name, just your impression)

Agreed.

But can you ride those bears into battle?
what do they say?
That what i was thinking too, i mean, i love Metal Gear cause it has great characters, story, and a cinematic feeling coming from Kojima's great love for movies, now he's describing MGSV like if it was The Witcher 3!
That said i still have confidence i'll find all that i loved in this serie in this last game too
