I don't see the similarities. Smoking a cigar makes no noise, and the phantom cigar produces no smoke or ash so there's no smell either.
The world clearly doesn't pause when smoking the phantom cigar, so when you do that out in the open or in the middle of a base you'll just end up getting shot.

30fps is being generous! But I think i'll be taking one for the team and playing the ps3 version until I get a competent pc.

ok but if he can stand out in the perimeter of a base for hours, he can have a five minute conversation as well.
if kojima said that, he was just being funny.

Those impressions are nice, but I see some are already mentioning its kojima's last MGS.. these impressions better not be tainted by the fact that this is kojima's last MGS. That should have nothing to do with it; please give me your impressions based on the game's merit.

That doesn't contradict something in Metal Gear, a lot of items are just him being funny. The in-game description is it uses a 'medicinal plant that speeds up perception of time'

Hey, that actually sounds really good. I wonder if the stealth can live up to Splinter Cell: Blacklist. It's funny the way he is resolutely name-droping Kojima Productions though. Not very professional but I guess he's trying to make a statement.

Honestly, its going to be tough to seperate when I play it, and the same is true of most others here as well I assume.
It'll feel like a farewell from Kojima, and the end of the series as we know it, a series many of us have basically grown up with. Even if it hasn't been designed as such, it'll probably be judged as the final instalment, the same way the last film of a trilogy is judged largely in the context of the series as well as on its own merits.

I honestly can't imagine how are what a MGS without Kojima will be like. It will probably be nothing like MGS.
Oh man. This was a good read. Kojima is doing what is expected of him, by doing the unexpected.

I feel like it'll probably be an awful attempt at absurdity with no charm or heart. Like Noel Fielding.
Either way, there's not a chance in hell that it'll be given a fair shake. I'll sure as hell be nitpicking it, probably unfairly. Human nature innit.

i thought Konami would be abandoning the console market after MGSV comes out? they might make some mobile crap we can all ignore.

Not that it matters, but that's Gosling in Ides of March. But yeah, point taken.
Gosling in everything except Crazy, Stupid Love, there I said it.

I seriously hope I don't die before this game comes out.
According to OXM:
The Phantom Cigar:
a mix of medicinal herbs
that alters big boss’ perception
of time to advance the in-game clock.
Another thing I read from the magazine was that D - dog can spot "rare herbs",
maybe the phantom cigar is not unlimited and you need some ingredients or
something in order to use the phantom cigar?

Few things about the preview from Gamekult. (french gaming site)
- Not open world, small, medium, big maps. I guess this was known.
- After 12 hours, it seems like a big prologue, almost no story development, the main missions looks like secondary missions ( go save a dude, go find something in a base)
- Gameplay is solid like ground zeroes.
- Bad rhythm.
- Not much cinematics.
- The first 12 hours so far is mainly to pimp out the mother base.
- The size of the maps can make things interesting.
- You choose missions from a HUB, pick the ones you want randomly.
- Almost no story progression after 12 hours.
- After 12 hours, the game was 10% done.
- The maps doesn't feel alive, no civilians etc (after 12 hours)
The guy is a big fan of MGS, but for now except form the gameplay, he thinks its meh. Let's hope the story picks up because after 12 hours, it feels like a big mother base training.

Actually I've found, that no matter the settings I have on PC, however choppy gameplay gets, it always manages to somehow run the cutscenes at 60, no matter what.
More Road Warrior than Drive, but whatever.
Even if they do find some really talented people to work on it, I suspect that they'll strangle the game from on high with budget and deadline restrictions in a way that they couldn't manage with Kojima under the old corporate structure.
So, no massive story progression within 10% of the game.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
To the first two bolded, that doesn't sound very fun at all. Barely any story after 12 hours? And I hope they aren't using the same super deceitful artificial completion percentage that was in ground zeroes where the actual story was like 9%. To the third, I might be mistaken but weren't there supposed to be villages? I know he said it wouldn't be like GTA but zero civilians seems odd.
Jesus Christ... That post reflects my biggest fears about this game.... I want my Metal Gear to be extremely story-heavy with tons of long cutscenes.... I really hope the plot picks up after those 12 hours...
In my opinion, I don't like what I'm reading about the story telling and secondary missions, but I guess they're doing that to make the game friendly to newcomers.

We've known for a long, long time that TPP wasn't going to be cutscene heavy though.

The prologue part is more cutscene heavy, so there's that..

Were we ever expecting civilians in towns etc?
Seems like a moot complaint.
And for a game based around approaching situations how you want to...without more details, bad rythm sounds odd.

Fuk...this was what I was worried about, well...idk I guess we have to put in 60 hours just to beat the main story lol
I guess Kojima's trolling us after ppl complained on how little gameplay MGS4 had :/

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly what I've been afraid of. Peace Walker 2 but with bigger maps and way less story.
This is not the MGS I want to see.
He's talking about the prologue, after prologue, mother base stuff etc. The game has a rhythm problem, (translating word to word, lol)

what sites are saying there are lots of cutscenes?
12 hours is a VERY long time to ask someone to keep playing in hopes that the story picks up.

I agree with you. This is very worrying. Very much so.
He's saying that after 12 hours of gameplay, the people who saw the trailers etc, knows almost the same stuff in the game that he did in 12 hours. Except for a few things of course.
Sorry it's hard to translate exactly.
Good gameplay and lots of it is not what you want to see?
I'm sorry do we want to go back to MGS4 levels of overlong cutscenes here?
I mean I love MGS4 but it had slideshow demonstrations people
Ah I see, thanks for translating.
Jeuxvideo.com too had kind of the same feeling with the game as of now. Both french, lol.
I would love that. You know, like a Metal Gear.
99 positive previews and 1 negative and everyone focuses on the negative.

About the cutscenes some previewers think they may have cut out some stuff for this preview build so people get faster to the you know meat of the actual game. It all felt a bit weird.

I'm personally alright with the game having a larger gameplay focus like Peace Walker as long as it doesn't have the awful boss fights. They really hurt that game for me. I do hope in the long run though there's about as much story related content as other Metal Gear games.
Literally none of the other previewers have complained about the story feeling threadbare or non existent after a certain number of hours and they've all said the opening is very cinematic and cutscene heavy.

That's what Metal Gear is to me personally. I am interested in the story, the fun of it comes when you get into the cutscenes.
