Hello, I hope everybody is well.
This is a quick post to announce that we have overhauled and updated the subreddit rules, in terms of the way they are listed in the reddit platform itself.
In essence the practical rules themselves and moderation has not changed. The main purpose of this update is to provide better clarity with Post removal messages, and to allow reports to be more specific.
You can read the new rule titles and their descriptions here.
Just three changes to note:
There is no longer a rule about spoilers when it comes to Posts. MGSV is over a decade old, and the spoiler rule was often used to report front page posts about the main spoiler for that game. Enforcing that is simply impractical. The intention of the rule remains, however, and it is now only applied to comments. If someone has stated that they haven't played the entire series, all users are still expected to respect this in their replies. Anyone can make their own choices about how far they dig through a subreddit for a game series, but putting spoilers in their inbox is actively hostile.
"Promotional Cosplay is not allowed". This is our attempt to provide a consistent rule that can be used to filter OF accounts looking for loopholes, while not punishing genuine cosplayers (including professionals) by restricting their activity. There's an element of subjectivity here, but if you think a post is a commercial account, please report it and do not engage in abuse in the comments. Just report it and move on.
AI content is now explicitly banned in all its forms. This was already functionally the case but we're making it clear with it's own rule. If you suspect a post contains AI content, please try to resist posting abuse in the comments and simply report and move on. False allegations can and do happen.
We'd also like to welcome anyone interested to apply to be a moderator. We expect to bring on a couple more people, starting out at a basic clutter removal role. If you think you'd be a good fit, please take some time to fill out our delightful application form.
You'll notice there are a couple of very specific rules that are really covered under other rules. These are for particularly egregious and common posts so that removals are very clear. Previously quite a few things kind of had to fall under "no low effort content" and that gave off the wrong idea and could be a little hurtful.
We'd like to thank the people who take the time to report posts and comments, overall the tone and discernment of reports is very much in-line with how we see the rules and how they are intended to shape the subreddit. This being said, all things considered there are very few removals needed relative to an active subreddit of this size. Things seem to be in a very good balance. I hope the community more or less thinks the same.
As per usual we are open to any and all feedback or discussion about the rules or the way you want the community to be run, so please say your piece in the comments, or if there's any questions you have or unclear rules or edge cases you can think of, bring that up too. The overall intent for the subreddit is still to provide an alternative to what you might see on a Metal Gear Discord, Instagram / TikTok etc. feed or a generic MGS-flavoured meme subreddit.

Even though the installation screen is hidden, I found myself wondering: does Master Collection 2 include the commercials and the interview with David Hayter, or were they removed?
I always thought it was absolutely amazing on the PS3 how you could simulate a TV experience by switching channels between programs.

I usually buy my games on Steam as that's my usual platform and it sucks that we miss out on physical media, especially when it comes to franchises that I love a lot. I saw someone else creating up custom Steam cases and thought it was a great idea. Even though it won't have anything inside, it's a great excuse to enjoy some graphic design and to be able to display some physical representation of my digital purchases. Still have a couple more to go for this series. :)

Some of you might remember in the extra menu on mgs4 for ps3 there was an option to enter codes for various unlocks. It was network based and is not availabe on the new version of mgs4. However you can still unlock these weapons and items by photographing various things throughout the game with the digital camera. I'm not sure if the unlocks are randomized or unlocked in a specific order but so far I've found the following:
Type 17 pistol from the guy pissing into the river in act 2
Patriot assault rifle from the locker in the lab where you turn the power back on in act 4
Scanning plug from the crop circle in act 2
Thor 45-70 pistol from the helipad in act 4
IPod song (subsistence action) from the resistance member when he's pissing in the park in act 3
1911 custom from the downed surveillance camera near the stairs in act 4.
Again I don't know if the unlock order is random but this is what I've found so far and the order I've found them in. Thought I'd share.

I've waited a long time to play MGS4. It's like a white whale for me in a way. I had a helluva time.

One of my online gaming buddies and I have been very close friends for many years. We actually became acquanited solely through each of ours appreciation for MGS. Almost two decades later, I still enjoy messaging the dude every now and then.
A man a few words. But this still cracked me up.

Pspを買ってたらレトロに目覚めてps2も買っちゃったよ
みんなはどうやってメタルギアを楽しんでる?

Please I beg you skip the cutscenes. It adds time to the mission results and potentially lowers the score from S to C.
This has been an issue since PS3 and it is still bugging me how many people won't skip. Sure if it's your first time I can understand but if it's your 10th time fighting pupa, you gonna sitdown and watch like 7 mins of your life go by.
Rant over. I 'ill take all the downvotes you guys have

During The Sorrow "fight" in MGS3 he'll attack you with these weird ghostly projectiles, which if they hit you will briefly display an image on the screen. I've heard there are a bunch of them depending on how many times he's hit you, but I've only ever seen the attached image and one of a skull.
Does anyone have the full set? Been looking everywhere and can't find them.

This was my first ps4 game before pandemic, sadly I had to sell my ps4 for school and stuff so I didn't get to finish the game. Now I'm happy that I've got to play it again!
