Are there physical copies of this game for PC?

Yes there is a physical copy but it's a goddamn joke. All it comes with is an 8mb installer for Steam, so have fun downloading the entire game anyways!

As for the game itself, I found some of the acting kinda strange, especially after having just come from Peace Walker (or having watched someone else play it). I guess the characters changed quite a bit in those 9 years (Ocelot is looking to be my favorite character so far just because he has personality while the others just seem to have issues). I was also pretty confused, as Snake stated that he was 'already a demon' despite having done nothing other than bringing Miller back to Mother Base (Not a spoiler, it's pretty much the first thing you do in the game after the hospital section). Would've been more appropriate if Snake had... well... kicked a dog or something beforehand.

On a side note, before I went to bed Yesterday I chose free roam Mother Base instead of a mission just so I could look at some of the tech trees. It's good for players who want a bit more of the backstory to listen to conversations soldiers have around MB, as they discuss things like how he became to be known as 'Big Boss'. Useful if you don't want to go looking through spoiler-tastic wikis and such.

I'd also like to note that while Rocket League recognizes that I'm using a PS4 controller, MGSV does not recognize it as one.

Game is so damn good.

So has anybody experienced the multiplayer yet?  Is it good?  Does it work?  Can you consistently get into games without lag and disconnects?  Does it seem like you're getting invaded by bug-exploiters, hackers, impossibly good players, or otherwise game-ruining opponents?  Are your invasions fun? 

The multiplayer is what'll decide if I buy this.  I've been burned too many times on similar multiplayer promises.  Dark Souls for example I'd consider a burn, even though it did eventually work it was never what it was cracked up to be.

If you're too impatient to wait eighteen minutes for part of your FOB to build when you can simply continue to play the game for those eighteen minutes you might need to reevaluate something about yourself.
They're optional microtransactions anyway, and they use ingame currency. It's not, say, base-building smartphone games, with hour-long waits for upgrades to things. You need to tell the whole story with this stuff.

[Cthulhu]

The FOB stuff is what I'm referring to.

Server issues in what way?  Because if it's the exact same shit that happens to every single game with multiplayer like this, count me out.  Not even for the singleplayer, I'm not gonna buy another game with broken multiplayer as a selling point.

So guys who've actually played the multiplayer!  Server stability, how is it?  Microtransactions, how are they?  Can I expect to have a lot of fun with the FOB multiplayer without paying money?  Or will I be paying money and getting disconnects and lag on half my games?

[SOLDIER First]

Then you may or may not be talking to the wrong people. (I might be a wrong person to talk to...!)
But, with the microtransactions, I am almost completely sure they're only in-game currency that you earn by playing, unless microtransaction automatically means using real-world money.

90% of the time, it does. And no matter what I will hate them. I mean, usually, I ignore them, but I still hate them.

come to me delicious plamo

[Ozyton]

I'm pretty bad at this game apparently. I have 7-ish hours played and I've only beaten that mission 6 or something? Too lazy to open game back up and look. I keep getting B ranks =(

For some reason, I now want Metal Gear lego.
Doesn't matter if it's Solid or Rising or whatever. I want/NEED it.

[Egan_BW]

I haven't gotten to FOB stuff yet, but it looks like you can get MB coins as daily rewards for logging in.
I'm also going to say the game is totally worth it just for the single-player.

Don't beat yourself over it.  The score is partially based on time and you probably have no clue what the layout of the area is.

You either spend a lot of time scouting the place and go in to get caught anyways, go in guns blazing or go in blind and get caught anyways.  Though, personally, I think I've got somewhat proficient in the art of running away and picking them off for the tactical takedown bonus, which can bring the rating back up to A if you do it enough. 
Cause who knows how often I've taken some poor sod down and there is this other guy I never noticed showing up behind me.  Half the time, he is the one that is revealed from interrogation...

Headshots and Tactical Takedowns give +1k points each, so if you do spend the time to take most everyone out, you can still potentially get an A, maybe even up to S if you are quick enough and don't make a lot of mistakes.

Spoiler: tactical stuff you may or may not want to find out on your own (click to show/hide)

...  It is pretty satisfying to hear people calling for backup/HQ, but I've already cut the comms in the previous base.

And them snipers.  I hate em and their 'I see farther then all my buddies' thing.
High ranking combat guys are also scary accurate.

[Furtuka]

btw have some discount coupons if anyone needs/wants them. They convinced me to get the game earlier than planned.

[Ozyton]

Peace Walker gets you a bit of backstory. Ground Zeroes is basically the "prequel chapter" for Ground Zeroes, but so far it doesn't seem to be 100% necessary. It does include some semi-hidden tapes you get in Peace Walker right off the bat for some instant backstory. You can finish Ground Zeroes in about the time it takes to complete a single mission in Phantom Pain, much less time if you know the speedrunning tricks.

[Cthulhu]

Well, the coupon was enough to get my buy, against my better judgment.  I'm in class now, it's downloading.  We'll see what happens.
