I don't think it's necessary to play ground zero, but it only takes like an hour or so to beat. Nothing substantial happened as far as I can tell.I've had Peace Walker for years and never finished it. Is it necessary to play Ground Zeroes or can i go from Peace Walker to Phantom Pain?
you rescue a child and a woman and then the woman blows up
To be honest, after playing ground zero, I'm lost as hell, and I watched overviews and read timelines too. Maybe it'll make more sense to you if you are all up on the canon. I gotta do more reading up on the back story apparently, because shyt is confusing!
