Pre-Purchase METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

Overrated? :'(

Simply watching the cutscenes alone would end up taking like 20 hours.

I very rarely preorder.

I do preorder on sequels I want most e.g Diablo 3 2nd expansion (if any).

I don't preorder unless it's Bethesda or Nintendo.

As a fan of MGS, I'll preorder. I will purchase it anyways.

What is wrong with Konami and their employees? Did you mean Kojima ?

I agree 100%, Bethesda continues to show that they know how to run a gaming company. Making amazing huge games, not whining about pirates, and trying to sell hundreds of dollars in pointless costume DLC in already 60 dollar games.

Emblems :
"Players will be able to create their own emblems in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Kojima Productions announced on the latest Kojima Station broadcast.

Emblem editing consists of many layers, such as silhouettes and letter characters, that can be placed one on top of the other and changed color. You’ll find additional parts for use in emblem creation as you clear missions.

The emblem you create will be attached to your outfit, mother base, helicopter, and such, and will provide personal appeal when playing online.

as for the Mother Base staff : in Peace Walker, the MSF (Militaires Sans Frontières) build a base, and you get to "hire" staff to operate it (volunteers and captives). You can assign the staff to different jobs to improve the base and the equipments available. It was really fun in Peace Walker, and I'm glad to see this system come back.

I assume this preorder bonus unlocks employees that give you a head start in the development of the Mother Base (or unique employees that trigger R&D for specific items and equipment).
