WTF was the prologue about? Is it a direct follow on from MGS4?

Ground zero.

Yep, had that on Friday. You need to do a database rebuild in the safe mode menu.

Cheers, it was infuriating!

I had the issue with it getting stuck at 507s and I tried a few things. Some places said to upload the save to the cloud, delete the copy on the console then re-download the save from the cloud. That didn't work for me. Others said just to restart the console. I did the safe mode rebuild (which obviously includes a restart) and that worked but I don't know if it was the rebuild or the reset that fixed it.

what is the difference between regular and collector's edition?

Steel case, behind the scene DVD and the arm. I think there may be some in game weapons too.

Just started. Why am I customising a character in single player mode? Can I skip this?

You'll find out why later

Really enjoying it - only just done the first mission and returned to base, decided to head back to the first mission, to polish a few things off - first task is to track down the goats I saw in my first run and parachute them home!!!

Managed to do both objectives in the first mission without knocking everyone out - think I only actually knocked out one chap; the rest I crept past.

I try and do as many tactical takedowns as possible.

Still not ordered this yet, loved MGS1 back in the day, enjoyed 2, didn't play Snake Eater and enjoyed MGS4 once it got going, I have the free download of Ground Zeroes from games with gold, recommended playing through that before getting this?

You might as well, it can be done in half an hour and you get to see a little of what happens before TPP.

Half an hour? Would expect the intro to last that long!

Well it does last longer if you do everything but you can do a fast run and it takes 10 mins or so!

The code that came with Ground Zeroes can finally be redeemed in Europe now on PS4/PS3 (I don't think X1/360 had the issue?), gives "Mother Base Staff 1"
