That's not entirely fair. The main antagonist is also a grim, growly man growling grimly.

Don't forget that hamburger that kaz designed thinking it would solve world hunger

That's a good band name

Isn't that an Alliteration?

So they're like Michael Caine in _The Muppet Christmas Carol_ except not intentionally so?

@@sasukesarutobi3862 oh no it’s completely intentional. Metal Gear has always been extremely campy

@@Stynkrat That's a very good point

Hmm, that might explain the overal preference to subs over dubs some more.

Yep. The Japanese language / mindset can be inconsistent in that way. For example, someone _could_ say 「彼の名は蔵之助だ」と言った。But they'll most likely say something like, 「あ、その男の名前は、石川蔵之助です。彼はこの銀行の会長です」と言いました。The first sentence (roughly) would translate to "His name's Kuranosuke (it is)" he/she said. The latter would (also roughly) translate to "Oh, that man's name is Ishikawa Kuranosuke (it is). He's the company leader for this bank" he/she said (in a polite manner). Over-explaination is something that's mostly done partially to be polite, and partially in order to make sure that the listener has *all* of the information they could possibly ever need. It gets really fucking annoying when you're trying to learn the language, even though it comes from a good place. I realize that in trying to explain why it seems over-explaination is rampant in Japanese, I've gone and over-explained my observation. Fuck, there's no escaping it.

It's a mixture of both, really.

Thank god someone else said it, I thought I was going crazy with how much I hated most anime dialogue but couldn’t put my finger on why

Crowley9 Well, it's something that's done in manga to explain bland fight scenes. A lot of anime is made to sell manga and often does this without transalting well. So no, it's bad writing. By the way, "hayai" means "fast," but it's a lot more natural to say under one's breath than "he's fast." This goes for all adjectives. and verbs.

+L Pendergast This game has the best first impression sequence I had ever seen in a game. I don't think any other game can beat the 'flop around the hospital floor while being chased by a man who is on fire led by a psychic toddler who may or may not be a ghost' opening sequence. Unfortunately they do not put that crazy shite in ALL THE MISSIONS.

king tut Evil Within doesn't have 'riding shotgun on a horse while being chased by a fire unicorn ridden by giant man on fire who shoots burning buckshot from his palms' right after 'Watching a helicopter eaten by a giant whale that is on fire'.

+king tut That game was trash. Or rather devolved into trash super fast.

Idk why they put psycho mantis in the beginning anyway. And they should've made him a boss later in the game.

+Jack Danger The game was apparently butchered by Konami after Kojima left, so.....

wasn't it somewhat more realistic in Peace Walker, no?

+McDeathmask I have come from slightly further in the future to tell you that Raiden is now 95% Pachinko machine, which was surprisingly useful in his dance off against Hatsune Miku.

lnsflare1 ...but can he defeat PaRappa the Rapper?

wolfpax181 No one can beat PaRappa the Rapper, you can only team up with a reformed Miku and Twitter Sonic to distract him enough that he falls into Dracula's gratuitously exposed cleavage. Spoiler Alert: Dracula isn't a girl, he just really let himself go in the future.

lnsflare1 ...moobs. I am thwarted!

wolfpax181, Yay!?

I can't tell if any of this is real in game but it sounds legit and that's all I want

what are you talking about, the cutscenes are perfectly skippable

+Usoland, Descendant of Noland and Destroyer of Sugar Send that message DIRECTLY to Yahtzee, so he knows that Until Dawn is that freakin' amazing and can't wait a whole week and he puts out a review within 24 hours as a sort of bonus review. And rips the story, characters, and gameplay to shreds.

And There are bloody many QTEs.

+Mcs Woo (ZIGGSA) Those can be somewhat excused as they actually mean something and can greatly effect the way the game goes on. Too slow on a QTE can lead do a character's death, which, in this game, is a really big deal.

+rabbitmaskedman All I know is that I agree that the credits at the start and end of every mission are fucking stupid. Also they spoil shit. You know what would be cool? If the Skulls or even Skull Face himself would be a surprise when they show up to fuck up my day! Instead I know it's coming because on the helicopter ride over the game goes *STARING SKULL FACE*. Gee thanks, why make it a true "oh shit!" moment when things hit the fan when I can be expecting something and prepare in advance?

+rabbitmaskedman What? That makes zero sense. The MGS script is written in Japanese then translated to English. Did the J script have more lines? No, Kojima was too busy burning 80 million dollars of Konami's money and spending five years playing ball in a cup until he had to pump out a script.

Holy fuck. Yahtzee fans are a salty bunch of twits, aren't they?

+rabbitmaskedman See, yahtzee makes fun reviews that talk bad, but are mostly for comedic effect, his fans however, take those words as real, and think they can be like him by talking shit about games. Difference is, pretty sure Yahtzee doesnt talk shit because he fully means it, and is mostly kidding, his fans, dont.

+Nanashi Your right, he talks shit about games because he mostly means it.

"and the best voice actor in the game (Keifer) barely says a fucking thing!" OK; this statement is wrong on many, many levels.

Been following the Chip/Ironicus LP of MGS5, and they brought up an interesting point. Kiefer Sutherland is a professional and successful actor, which means he's very, very expensive. That means that any complications with Venom Snake's lines would put a massive dent in the budget, which is why VS barely talks and is probably part of why the dialogue suffers. Hard to write powerful stuff with Venom Snake when every word you write for him costs a small fortune.

Maybe Hideo Kojima got rushed by Konami to put out another game

@@nannerdunlocke1231 This was Kojima's last game for Konami, and this game was in development for 6 years. That's not rushing.

@@BIadelores Anthem was in development for 6 years, but only 1 of those was actual development time. Not saying Koijima used up 5 years and had a only a year to make the thing, but at least 1 of those years was Koijima arguing with Konami management...

Those nanomachines came from the moon

+SuperZez I keep rewatching the video just for that bit

And in MGS3.

+Daniel Plainview I know right? Now, where's my milkshake?

+Daniel Plainview THAT'S WHAT SHE... Sorry. sorry.

+Daniel Plainview We believe you. This was a one-time thing. It's okay, it happens.

+Daniel Plainview PHRASING.

+Daniel Plainview I did... ;)

It's because Peacewalker was originally intended to be the fifth MGS game. Instead, they took most of the elements from it, for V. This includes the clunky 'mission' system, which belonged back on the PSP game, and not in a next game system game.

+Sammy102093 Every Metal Gear Solid game since the first was "supposed" to be his last. He's said that like a billion times. x)

True but remember, it made Konami a lot of money and he most likely wanted to do other projects as well but Konami wouldn't let him.

+Sammy102093 $80 million and the game is still unfinished. What the hell did Kojima spend all the money at?

Afham Zaki Production costs like that are gonna be high, plus he kept delaying the game so that means that money also covered wages.

***** Still, Konami gave him 5 years of development. I think it's a case of Kojima reaching way too high and Konami being Konami.

+Butterworthy What's that? CRITICISM?! The fanboys are moving in!

SuperLordGaming Dear god...I criticized the way the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter was being handled, it's my most disliked video ever, and one bastard got so angry and offended that he left over 100 comments in an hour, and I had to ban and report him for harassment.

+Butterworthy Wow, really? Fanboys are the worst.

Von Steiner Totally agreed. I get accused of being a Nintendo fanboy. I have a preference for them, but still criticize and critique them when necessary. I have seen real Nintendo fanboys, and they can be straight up delusional.

+Butterworthy WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR CHANNEL DESCRIPTION YOU IDIOT!

How do you know he doesn't?

I'd be happy if that was him, but considering he's gotten a job like, right after he got kicked out from Konami makes me think he's at least stable enough for conversation

+Ristar85 lmao you obviously havent played the game

+Ristar85 How many hours have you played? I'm curious.

+Ristar85 The gameplay is great. The story is shit. And this is coming from someone who's only ever played Metal Gear Solid 4 before picking up TPP.

Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen what they tried to was the opposite of mgs 4 was because many people complained about the huge cutscenes. Apparently Konami doesn't know the word moderation so they took a completely backseat approach to the story in this one. I've played every metal gear and the gameplay is the best so far and can get very challenging since the game assimilates to your play style and how good you are, but the story is extremely lacking for the franchise. Plus the ending was totally rushed and some storylines, specifically the Eli and Quiet ones, seemed totally incomplete in my opinion. I give it a 8/10 just because it is so damn fun and time consuming, but the virtually emaciated story is a huuuuuuuuge con. There is actually speculation that an entire chapter and even area were in the works, but konami wanted Kojima gone so bad that they crapped on the project. The original idea was for it to be a game so fucking amazing you crapped your pants, but sadly it was not... at all tbh...

Ristar85 the hell do you know? this was the soviet army in the 1980s. plus its a video game. VIIIDEEEOOOO GAAAMEEE sure it was like that the first hour, but i was taking out outposts left and right, and now i get minimum of 7 people anywhere at once, i still get like 3 in those random groups in the middle of the map. and important places guarded by 10 people?! At no point did i see that, OKB zero for example has around 40 soldiers there all the time, that's if you dont raise an alarm btw. That doesn't even count on the helicopters that start to show up, the d walkers, mines in all the places you can sneak in, cameras, etc.. The fact that you're saying a game that adjusts the difficulty to how good you are is easy, that's absolutely laughable, cause obviously you either suck ass or haven't played anywhere near 10 hours.

WE'VE BEEN DIDDLED AGAIN!

***** Retrieve something, or rescue a prisoner? Sure, just like it was in every Metal Gear game ever. What changes is the location and situation. Lots of variables.

It isn't lazy game design. This game offers complete freedom in the way you tackle missions and as a result every mission can feel different.

***** It looks like you didn't play the same game as I did, or just don't like stealth games. This is the most deep in the series, or better yet, the best stealth game of all, in terms of gameplay. There as HUNDREADS of ways to complete the same mission. And if you think its easy, cut the hand holding: put on hard, disable markings and reflex mode and it becomes another game entirely...

+kabeltelevizio no, not at all

+kabeltelevizio no, not at all

See, there's your problem right there: one of your claims is false (she speaks several times in both Navajo and English, compared to none for D-Dog) and the other is purely subjective. Why does she seem shallow to you? She's an assassin crippled by fire who was intentionally infected with a deadly disease (the English strain) and then took a vow of silence to prevent the disease from spreading. That's one of the plainest examinations of rape, post-traumatic stress and sexually transmitted diseases I've seen in any game. Furthermore, you don't find it significant that you are dismissing a female character simply because she doesn't speak very often? And you don't think that comparing her to a dog might be a little bigoted itself? I know that reading more than the intentionally misleading surface of this character requires someone to have an understanding of rape and sexual assault (plus some damn empathy) that most people just don't have, but seriously, what about this lacks depth to you? Did you skip all the cutscenes or something? Edit: Also, Quiet isn't the only female character, there is also Strangelove and the Skull Snipers, but all of the female characters in the game (except the distaff base soldiers, which aren't characters) have been violated in some profound and personal way (murdered, brainwashed, etc.).

Oh gosh, your superficial observations and refusal to look beneath the surface have completely defeated me. How could I be so foolish as to think that there could be more than a literal interpretation of the game? I mean, I was really hoping for more than the "Netflix Reviews" version of this argument, but the truth is that you are exactly the type of person that this game was written to mock by taking everything at face value. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; that doesn't make it valid or correct, and you're plain wrong here.

Look, if I had to take time out of my day to explain every little thing to every little mind on the internet I'd have no time left for stuff I actually want to do. So yeah, I'm not arguing with you. That would be a waste of effort, and you can go be wrong in your own time and place. In other words, it's time for you to move on. Unless you want to explain why you think that statement was a self-contradiction, that would probably be amusing enough to keep me interested.

Yeah, dude, you win by default. Never seen that card get played on the internet before. Here's your medal: it has an engraving on the back that says "Master Debater on KZfaq." Wear it with pride. ARGUING with you is a waste of time, but MOCKING you is very entertaining indeed. I can keep coming back for that as long as you want.

Rather, I don't think you understand what mocking means, but since you seem incapable or unwilling to read subtext I'm not surprised that you're confused. Quite a lot of mockery is done in such a way that the one being mocked is not entirely aware of it, or has difficulty comprehending it. On the other hand, I'm not exactly being subtle here. What's your stake in all this, anyway? You already "won" the "argument" by default and got your medal, but you still won't shut up, so I have to guess that there's something else you're looking for... maybe you just want to have the last word.

+Usoland, Descendant of Noland and Destroyer of Sugar Probably not seeing as it's not scary.

+Calvin Infinity I never read a review that said the game was perfect, you gotta source, bub?

+Calvin Infinity Well if you are referring to Yahtzee's review he is ALWAYS supposed to pick apart the games no matter how good it may or not be (refer to his Last of Us review). Yeah the game isn't perfect but the score I believe comes down to how 'fun' the game can be. Do lots of people find it fun? Yes. Do I find it fun? HELL yes. Does Yahtzee? Probably from what I gathered here but he's trying to make sure that these 'perfect game's aren't actually perfect on either technical or fun levels. That being said, he was much more positive about this game than most games so basically on mainstream reviewing terms this game IS good (
