Meanwhile, are these spin offs worth playing?

Nah. PW is the only good spinoff, POOPS has some neat story stuff but is mostly rubbish, avoid the rest.

PW sucks tbh. Just read the important story elements about it - though so far MGSV seems to be intentionally twisting them in hilariously grim ways. Ground Zeroes in particular brought certain plot points of PW to some very dark places. I imagine Phantom Pain will go a lot further (though it'll likely be focused moreso on its own story)

Truly, I'm glad Kojima-san is gonna leave this shit company.

TPP can now be pre-ordered on Steam, and the PC release date has been brought forward to the console release date, September 1st.

Konami-shit doesn't deserve to get 60 Euroshekel from me.

Yep, sounds like a Japanese corporation to me.
No, really. I'm going through the Cyberpunk 2020 book now and the megacorps there, who are all but running a fucking war economy, are not this bad.

All that and it's 60€ on Steam. Fuck no.

Damn. Starting to really regret my Bloodborne Box even more since I'm just going to buy the definitive PC version now that there's no delay. Guess it's up to uh... Last Guardian and Platinum's Nier game to justify the stupid thing. Hurp.
Anyways, made a list of known influences on MGSV and other media that may enhance the greatest game of all time. Here it is: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/mgsv-the-phantom-pain-preparation-kit.101870/

There's also Persona 5 if you're into that, and the Bloodborne expansion is on its way.
Too bad there's no physical version of TPP for the PC, though.
It sounds like the original PC two week delay was due to problems with MGO, and then when they realized it wouldn't be ready for the release of the main game they just said fuck it, we'll delay MGO for every platform and do a simultaneous release for the singleplayer.

I could never get myself to finish Persona 3, and haven't started P4, so I don't see myself buying P5 full price.
The collector's edition of TPP is tempting. I think it's actually already sold out almost everywhere. (it is on amazon at least)
I tried GZ again. There might have been a patch since I last played, because it ran much better for me this time. Here are my observations complaints.
The UI is all over the fucking place. It crams all this obvious information on the screen, a la Shitman Abortion's "VISIBLY ARMED" and "NEAR BODY" alerts.
Menus cannot be navigated by mouse, even though the windows cursor is on. Navigating by keyboard alone can be more efficient in many menus, but certainly not the ones in this game.
Similarly in regard to menus, modifying a weapon is a retarded chore. You have to hold down the radial weapon selection menu, then hold down the arrow key corresponding to the weapon you want to modify, or hold down the number key associated with the weapon you want to modify, and then press the silencer and flashlight keys to toggle those functions. Disregard the fact that these two functions have their own keybinds. You still have to stop and hold down buttons to even access them.
Hold R to pick up a corpse, or the weapon that he dropped. This used to be something one could determine in a game by pointing at the desired object to pick up, but now there's just some algorithm that determines what you want to pick up based on what the character stance is and how the camera is angled. If you want to stay on the move, fuck off. Sit down and tap directional keys to nudge Solid Snake in the proper direction to pick up whatever it is that you want to pick up.
Mouse input is terrible. There's a minimum amount that the camera moves no matter how softly one nudges the mouse, so any zoomed observation or aiming is extremely uncomfortable.
Movement controls are laggy for the sake of looking realistic. It's easy to become like a tetherball around a significant but slim object like a ladder, because Solid Snake doesn't take orders, just suggestions when it comes to where he faces and runs.
This is yet another game with cheats enabled by default. Binoculars tag enemies through walls, and enemies seem to remain perfectly visible through walls no matter what. At the first sign of danger, the game enters super slow motion to allow the player to fight the terrible aiming and place a headshot on the alerted enemy.
Afterward, it becomes a regenerating health cover shooter with enemies who stand clueless out in the middle of the road. They eventually calm back down without any significant searching behavior.
Don't be fooled by the sandbox claims. The level design is just as segmented as the rest of the garbage designed to run on old console hardware. Discrete areas are all connected by one or two hallways that limit stealth options and hide away the rest of the level. Other options that would be realistically (and within the game's rules) achievable, such as going over some rocks near the edge of the island to get to a prison camp area, are simply not enabled. The only ways to get in and out of the camp are two paths conveniently surrounded by unclimbable rocks.
So far, I've played about 45 minutes, and I think I'm about halfway or more through this standalone game that was initially released for $30. Everything about it that has managed to interest me has been executed better in Crysis.

One can immediately see that this shitty trailer wasn't directed by Kojima-sensei.
