For some of you baby geniuses jumping to conclusions: Huey needs to be alive for Metal Gear Solid 2 because he's a pivotal plot point in Otacon and Emma's backstory. His death is already explained in that game! Some of you guys need to play these games first before trying to imply I don't know the difference between Huey and Hal.

lol dude i'm playing assassins creed syndicate and it did the whole "manage your own army" thing 10 times better than TPP first they actually have you working with people who have a personality. second when you buy something can use it right then and there instead of wait on the "development time"(yes peace walker had the same mechanic but it didn't feel like something that was leading to a microtransaction.) the missions are usually not to far away and even if they are theres a bunch of stuff that you can do inbetween the travel there. they let you fast travel without having to go to a certain location to fast travel. oh and you can play as the character they marketed to you 5 minutes into the game instead of crawling on the freaking floor for 1 hour!and they fixed the amount of time it takes to climb high buildings with a grappling hook. Basically they don't waste your time. Assasins creed made a better open world stealth action game than the MGS franchise? IS THIS REAL LIFE?!?!?!

One thing I never liked about MGSV (and Peace Walker) is how the game is mission-based. I'm speaking specifically about the fact that the way you progress through it is by selecting a mission off of a list of missions and then flying over the the start zone. I feel like one of the reasons the previous MGS games felt tight in terms of narrative wasn't only due to the abundance of cutscenes, but because of the fact that you initially set out to do something and then the game just... took off from there. Having to fly to and from Mother Base really took me out of the story. It didn't engage me.
@theomnigamer9177 Жыл бұрын
Peace Walker had the excuse of being on the PSP. The mentality was since it was mission based and portable, people could finish a mission while on the bus or on the subway train (or any vehicular transportation). It also helped since the maps in Peace Walker were bite sized, so it helps that the missions with missions if they are shorter than others. I can’t give that excuse to V though. Also Peace Walker is definitively the best Metal Gear game since you get to fight Monster Hunter Bosses.

It was mission based in peace walker, but it had the MGS DNA in it as the main missions would pick up from where the last left off and would all take place on the same map in Costa Rica, like a shadow Moses, or a big shell.

Ya the game had so much potential but they pushed it out too early. Honestly even if they gave Kojima more time and budget Idk if it would of turned out any better. All the grindy peace walker mechanics where all leading to this then you add a open world which usually tend to be grindy because it takes alot of time and money to bring a world to life. I think kojima kind of started to lose his way to peace walker like I like that game a lot but mostly for the narrative I didn't like all the mother base stuff it's a waste of time also I don't care for sponge bosses they are very uncreative compared to the rest of the series.

Don't let all the dislikes get you down. I don't see how this is the weakest review so far, when a lot of official reviews that get praised don't actually explain anything about why something is good or bad. Your review at least did. But I'd have to say that games like MGS2 aren't *that* amazing gameplay-wise, never were. Anyway, there is no story, it's just setpiece after setpiece of uninteresting crap, with a bunch of cassette tapes explaining historical events that are frankly irrelevant to the plot. Some tapes do explain story-related things, but there's just no interaction between characters, and the amount of superfluous and dry info is astounding. Playing cassette tapes while sneaking is just distracting... and it's no fun to be stuck listening to a tape in a menu, with no interesting visuals. There is no character development, and like you said, Ocelot is not Ocelot. I don't have any reason to like the characters, because they don't truly bond with Snake. They're one-dimensional and not likable. It's hard to find the right words for this. I'm not sure exactly why, but I don't enjoy the gameplay much either. I know I said old MGSes weren't epically amazing, but this is much worse. It's better from a technical standpoint, but there's so much freedom, there's no way to fuck up, there's no challenge of any kind. That means you don't have to experiment with gear either. And there's no way to really plan anything because most likely there's an enemy hidden behind a wall somewhere anyway... turning the game into some on-the-fly action shit. It feels like there's no atmosphere anywhere. There are no tactics involved, all you need to do is walk somewhere where there's few enemies, take down the one or two that are there, go extract/kill a target, go back the way you came, extract. And you repeat that in almost every mission. Maybe the problem is that there is no real 'level design'... each level plays the same. Many of the things you can do aren't fun and serve exactly the same purpose. The game's just... meh.

Reflex mode has absolutely no place in the game and the same level of depth that's expected from a Kojima game isn't as apparent in TPP. Compared to other games, TPP is definitely top notch, but the bar has been set way too high by Kojima himself so I'd be lying if I said it wasn't disappointing.

+Aaron Burch it still makes it unnecessary though :P I'm not too familiar with Devil Trigger, but reflex mode simply goes against what past MGS games have done. For the first time in MGS you are actually rewarded for getting caught. Whereas before you can automatically lose the game if you get caught, depending on the difficulty, now you get a good 10 or so seconds to kill the ten or so people that saw you before they can alert their comrades to your shenanigans. I'm not gonna stop people from using it, and I may even turn it on in a future playthrough, just to see how much I can do in that timeframe, but it should have no place in MGS especially by default.

I disliked this video, but I agree with 90% of what you said. The chopper wait scenes, the pacing, the story, the lack of characterization, the Skull fights. A lot of the game isn't what metal gear is. My problem with this video is your complete apathetic view towards the core gameplay. The gameplay is boring and reptitive because you aren't creative enough to experiment, try new things, new weapons, strategies, and limitations on yourself? I have a blast using new kinds of grenades, weapons, and gadgets when they are available. You're comment about getting bored can apply to any game. "DMC 4 bores me, all you do is run around either open spaces, or get into the same fight over and over again trying to boost your style meter to SSS" I really like the gameplay of MGSV, but what gets me is the story and boss fights. I hated MGS4's bosses but this game actually makes me miss them.

Perhaps the worst MGS game, perhaps not even a good MGS game, but still a very good game in the overall industry imo. It certainly did not deliver in giving an "end" to the franchise as some were expecting. But in the end it still lets you live a part of the MGS universe and fills in some blanks.

So I got all the resources to develop the balloon, then went AFK for half an hour. There is absolutely no reason for that to be a thing in *any* game at all.

I remember being disappointed with Peace Walker. I didn't hate it or anything but all the time spent in a menu instead of actually playing the game really turned me off to it. I was hopeful that MGS5 wouldn't continue down that path, but it wasn't just more of the same: it was worse. I have no idea what happened here but I honestly think Kojima got a little full of himself and started throwing every idea he had into MGS5. I never thought it was a good idea to have complete creative control over a project because it means that there's no one around to check your bad ideas. Don't get me wrong, Kojima is a visionary video game maker, but even he can make some bad decisions from time to time.

Dude you are so right about everything, i thought this game was great for the first few hours, the mechanics are rock solid and a very beautiful game, but man once you hit that point where youre just pretty much re-doing the same type of thing in same areas time and time again, and yes also the open world is not used, its just running from place you need to be with nothing to do in between, very strange design... its almost like those review which gave this 9s and 10s only played for about 6-7 hours, where i could understand people giving such high reviews. Overall not terrible, but a very underwhelming ... 6/10

I will stand by the fact that the jeep ride with Skullface is one of the most awfully executed moments in any video game I've ever played. Also, fans of the "gameplay" of Phantom Pain probably are mistaking the game mechanics, which are admittedly great. But the gameplay itself, as mentioned in the video, are so mundane and awful. 90% of the game is doing random tasks for no story reason at all, and could be in any random action stealth game on the market.

Yet Kojima Productions created MGS5s stealth/action gameplay and game mechanics that reign supreme to this day. Therefore, saying the gameplay/mechanics could be in any old game seems disingenuous, with a lack of appreciation for what the devs accomplished. I love every MGS title and understand this games' divisiveness within the community. However, I'm glad they ditched the hours long cutscenes and codec calls interrupting gameplay. The main focus was the gameplay, and imo they nailed it almost perfectly. I would have loved to have seen some more linear designed levels thrown into the mix though. Overall, it is my favorite MGS game for many of the reasons people dislike it. It's one of my favorite games ever made!

Can't believe there are still so many Kojima apologists. Listen, I respect the man and most of his work, but he's just as much to blame as Konami for the mess that was TPP. Would the game have been better had Konami given Kojima the budget and time he requested? Yes, absolutely. But you have to realize Kojima already had 80 million dollars and 5-6 years of development time on the project, that's something 99% of devs in this world can only _dream_ of. Would the game have been better had Kojima kept his own ambitions in check and spent the huge amount of money and dev time he was already given in smarter ways? _Also_ yes. Besides, you can't blame Konami for the horrible writing in the game, that would've turned out all the same no matter what, and that's all on Kojima. Face it, the man's writing had been on the decline since Snake Eater, he was slowly but surely becoming the George Lucas of games. But of course, it's easier to just point fingers at Konami and blame them for everything (don't get me wrong though, they _are_ assholes either way), than acknowledging that someone like Kojima can make mistakes.

The problem with mgs v is it feels like a grindy modern open world filled with padding and even mobile game mechanics *Cough Cough* mother base bs. The core gameplay is the best of the series but I think maybe they should of stuck to the roots more with the bosses and maybe made it more of a semi open world with less padding and a more linear feel. The story is also the most important part of these games and they fumbled that bad. Bigger does not mean better we have seen this countless times. I'd rather have a 20 hour game of great content then a 40 to 100 hour game with filler content. People say this game gives more freedom to do things how you want but who cares it's boring as hell. The whole point of the game is to be fun I don't want to have to make my own fun. Most people don't put 400 hours into a game like this and have to skill to do some crazy john wick run. The game feels like torture after 10 hours for me because all these open worlds are poorly designed crap. The older games were much better because they were more linear and focused. They would of been much better off just making bigger linear maps and sticking to the original formula open world doesn't make it better. Mgs V is clearly not even finished Idk why people hype shit like this up it's not that good.

+kabeltelevizio it's fairly straight forward, in short. "we both have *lost* something, for me it's my childhood and my country, for you it's pretty much everything you've worked to create, along with many you've know and loved. so people like us often chose revenge as that may seem like the most logical course of action, you find something to * hate* weather it be the true cause of your misfortune or not, you'll be willing to do anything to escape the *pain* and helplessness that the loss has caused you. but in the end, even if you get your revenge the very pain you were trying to replace *never goes away*. and instead of everything getting better, because you decide to live only for hatred you be come bitter, it affects your mind, body, and soul. We both have walked this path, and have become changed by it, and there's no way for us to go back to where we were." It's not really a new concept, it's basically one of those "we are the same!" moment! that bosses often decide to throw out. But done in Kojima's trademark often overly dramatic 'cinematic' dialogue, it can take a while to get used to, but I find indirect statements like this to often be a better way of saying it, as you can to a point interpret it your own way.
@bobdotexe8 жыл бұрын
+kabeltelevizio "..but hatred replacing the pain? That should be the other way around. " not really, again, the revenge aspect. that can be created hatred. hatred that was not there before. I hate pulling the 'it's a metaphor card' but that's the only thing that would really explain it. I finished the game a while ago, so sorry if my quotes are off by a bit. But I believe he uses language and culture interchangeably. for example, I'm trying to learn Japanese, my native language is English, while leaning another Latin based language would be fairly straight forward, just memorize some words, a bit on syntax and done! Learning a Language from a very different culture is very different. Not just because of the vastly different alphabet and phonics, but also because the language has quite a bit of the culture ingrained into it, while we just have Mr. Mrs. Sir, etc, they actually have prefixes for people's names based on your social position relative to them, while we'd just use 'Sir' to be respectful to any male, even ones of our same age or younger, they have something called honorifics, where you would never refer to some one you met at a store with the same name suffix as your boss. While that may not apply to all languages, Language still a powerful thing. And while I'm not going to claim to be an expert on diplomatic relations in the 80's, I'd imagine more then just English was being taught. that may have been the official report, but it's also possible that they were trying to 'modernize' the places as well, introducing them to technology and other things that were more popular where the English speakers came from. The culture aspect works really well with the whole "convert a nation to a different tongue" thing, as last I checked most people don't forget their old language when they learn a new one. so it would make more sense for it to be a culture spread, then a language thing. So why not just say american culture? Kojima is a troll. ...or maybe he always saw language and culture as one in the same? :-/ anyway, here's the final peace of evidence. he speaks of a language crisis, or culture crisis. This is likely because at a very young age when he would be developing his identity, he was exposed to multiple different cultural views " With each new post, my masters changed, along with the words they made me speak." And with no parents to use as a form of reference. he had no anchor to base for determining who he was. he had nothing to define him, much like snake lost everything after lousing the boss, and mother base. Hmm, this would actually make an interesting video, I'm gonna have to read into this a little more, but still keep replying with your thoughts.

+kabeltelevizio "but his method was something someone who hasn't left his room for a decade would invent. " yes, kojima is no stranger to 'just go with it' in the since department, and yes, future generations may forget the language, and overtime if not used, the speaker may forget some of it, but the whole idea of conversion is to change something from one state to another "from 1 to 0" with just language the person them selves would not change they's be added to, but with culture adjustment, their very live style and customs would change, and I think the main reason he was going after English is because it's the most popular language on the planet (if you count those who speak it as a second language) He spoke of zero using English to unite the world (under his control) think tower of babel from the Old Testament, Buy destroying English, not only can he stop zero's plan, and kill zero, but he thinks by eliminating the language 'forced' on so many he can make it so we have multiple languages (cultures) again true diversity, by embracing out 'past present and future(?) he says it's "not an ethnic cleanser, it's a liberator to free the world from zero" basically he just wants to free the world, you know by killing billions. The two main things I take from this are, 1. He wants to stop zero's plan 2. he wants 'sans Lingua franca' no language bridge So I guess it is more about language then culture, I got more ideas about #2 on the way, but need to do a little more digging, tell me what you think

And he claims this will bring peace. He's already taken care of zero, now he sets to rest the world. not to destroy or rule it.

You know something? Most of your points are correct. Some, are up for discussion. However, I truly do NOT believe this game had mediocre gameplay.....FAR from it. You see..... This game is honestly the biggest and most expansive Metal Gear game out there. I never spent over 100 hours into any single Metal Gear game I've ever played. And I've played all of them. (Including the MSX ones) The open world isn't "Empty and lifeless"........ In Afghanistan, it's full of animals like sheep, bears, mice, zebras, and many more. If you just stay on the main road while roaming the entire game, then of course you won't see any animals and have fun killing/extracting them. I'll admit Africa was sort of lacking the wide variety of animals Afghan had, but it had many beautiful sights (On your first mission there, that area is so pretty in the morning, as well as the waterfall near the mansion) and enemy bases to conquer (The mansion, and other two scattered throughout the map) that more than makes up for it. Also, the game has so many weapons and things to unlock it's crazy. Let's not forget all of the customization options you got for the weapons as well! I am 500 hours in and only 62% complete. Wanna know what I've done for a good 200 hours or so? Use my imagination. Yeah, you heard me correctly. I never had a Metal Gear game that was so big I could use my imagination for just about any kind of situation. That's one of the key visions Kojima/Konami had for this game. To take full control of Venom Snake, and guide him through his journies as Big Boss prior to Metal Gear 1. In previous entries, the story took more control of you then the gameplay. In this game, it's the reverse way around. And I honestly appreciate it for that. I can't even name all of the fun moments I had playing this game, both during main missions and on free-roam. All the amazing close-calls I had and helicopter/bear fights I've had, it's beyond amazing in terms of scale. In fact, I still do not know the entire map by heart. I mean, the game puts you into a world where there are endless possibilities. The game tries to capture a sense of realism that I haven't seen in any game, ever. I mean, you are given the option to approach enemy outposts/bases in so many different ways. You could try and make it ultra-realistic, by turning off Reflex mode/Marking and use lower grade weapons, with really good camo on. Or if you have good enough weapons, put all the modes on and breeze through a base. Or even go in there guns blazing, nothing in this game is impossible. That's what I love about it. Also, I don't even mind the whole demon points thing. I actually sort have grown to like it alot. I have two individual saves for normal snake and demon snake to keep it evened out. It might sound dumb, but it's so much funner to go out as Demon Snake and fight bears, or replay old missions with him topless and that big ass horn sticking out of his head.... Riding the furicorn with demon snake is such a badass sight. I guess what I'm trying to say, is the game is all about forming your own story/recreation of Big Boss. Hence why we have such a huge, expansive game on our hands to do anything we want with. The overall vision of the game is for YOU to make the story out of it. It's given a skeletal structure, with the whole XOF revenge, Two Outbreaks, and ending twists. It heavily relies on YOU to take the challenge, and approach it in your own, special way. To fill the rest. For me, it was a mixture of following the story that was given, and relating my feelings into the game as well. I mean when you had to SPOILERS Kill your own men in the second outbreak END OF SPOILERS, I felt like crying. When I was playing, I lowered my gun so many times and said to myself, "Oh god, no no no", before doing the deed. The ending twist that SPOILERS You are the medic, and serve as Big Boss' phantom END OF SPOILERS didn't annoy me in the slightest. The ending summed up everything I needed to feel. Just like the medic, I may not have been Big Boss, but I experienced/seen Big Boss' missions from MGS3 and so on. And from this game, I experience my own journey since I am both, myself AND Big Boss, and am given a big, expansive world to do anything in. Just knowing that (SPOILERS)Venom Snake is supposed to be ME (End of Spoilers), makes the ending better in a sense. Because it basically means that he felt what I felt, since he's me, and replaying the story missions...... You can see he clearly did. You embarked on your own journey of Revenge, with all of the characters you came to know and love from MGS3 and Peace Walker. You made the calls on more than one occasion, and every now and then Venom Snake took lead and brought you into the right direction. Sure it may not have been what most people wanted, I am more than pleased with the experience I have had with this game. My story is pretty much over, but I still play to form new stories out of my own imagination... Like for instance, there was a time I just decided to kill everyone and rank up demon points, until I got demon snake. Fastest way to do that is use the motolov on every solder in the "Retake the Platform" mission... Including the prisoners who were your own men. I made Venom Snake dive into madness. The story didn't, I did, and in the end, the game delivered Demon Snake to me for doing those evil deeds. I even developed my own little story for it too, heh. Who cares if it isn't canon? It's still fun. But at the end of the day, that horn does grow out to be Demon size until it finally just comes out. (Whether that happened before MG1 or during it is unclear, it likely happened before) The game truly does give you a wide, expansive amount of freedom. And that is again, why I love the gameplay aspect of the game so much. I will agree that the story was very, very misleading from what we were advertised in all of the trailers. But at the end of the day, I am happy with what I got. A huge, polished game, full of things to do and endless possibilities. It more than makes up for the small amount of story given. MGSV may not be my favorite Metal Gear game, but it is definitely game of the year for me. And I will continue to play it every day as I have, for a very long time.

+spideyfan300 I agree with every single word. The gameplay in MGS V is some of the most fine tuned I've ever seen in a video game. Everything from mission objectives that don't hold your hand to the weapon balance. I'm a fan of MGS, I started with Twin Snakes back in Gamecube and since then I've played almost all the games and I can safely say that MGS V is my third favorite game in the Metal Gear series. It's a complete joy to explore Afghanistan and Africa. The freedom is staggering. Like you said, you can either go 100% stealth or guns blazing. And the Reflex Mode is optional for crying out loud! It also might be one of the more challenging games I've played in recent years. Because of the open world the guard AI is superb and their movement really unpredictable so the tension of stealth is greater than in any MGS game I've played before. For example when I had to sneak to the mansion where the Code Talker was, I was constantly sweatting, being nervous and concentrating on every single guard movement even with DD on my side. There are couple of missions that felt just bullshittingly hard like Traitor's Caravan, I HATE THAT MISSION, and some missions where there were like 20 guards at one area and Snake needed to find one escaped prisoner under a time limit without being spotted... those moments caused me to scream with anger and frustration, but holy shit the feel of accomplishment when I finally did it. I don't judge games based on story. Even if it's one of the most story driven game series. I value gameplay over story in any game, so it should be easy enough to understand why I love this game so much. While MGS V is not a Game of the Year for me (that goes for Fallout 4) it's one of the best games I've ever played.

How much fun can you get out of that, about 2mins worth of "haha look at that I just tied a balloon to a sheep look at it fly". Sorry but I didn't spend £50 on a metal gear game to hunt fu*king sheep and mice! This game is terrible and all the pretty graphics and scenery in the world can't disguise that.

+Rain But they aren't the traditional codec calls where you see 2 windows of who's speaking. In past games, a good chunk of the story was told through those codec calls. Not to mention, Snake would actually be engaging in the conversation. With MGS5, Snake barely speaks and the traditional codec segments were replaced with the cassette tapes.
@chrisseger23468 жыл бұрын
+Kanye East There's plenty wrong with the tapes. Most of them don't convey any level of useful info. There's tapes with Miller and Code-Talker talking about fucking hamburgers, for no particular reason than to distract you for 5 minutes. The tapes also make it so that there's little-to-no interaction between characters. Snake is heard speaking in, what, 2 of them? When he already says a total of MAYBE 200 words throughout the game, it's like he became socially retarded after taking that shrapnel to the head. So yes, the tapes are another giant flaw in this game.

+Kanye East Codec calls were context sensitive, ie they happened when you reached out to your team while doing certain things like using the naked camo in the box. The tapes on the other hand is just a really crappy way to replace cutscenes that never made it into the game. They were not context sensitive but rather just info dumps given out at a horrible pace. They actually bury the real story (not just tidbits and side info) in cassette tapes which should have been cutscenes with characters like zero.

This makes experimenting with stealth much less enjoyable - the lack of level design - 3 weapons only - the grind and waiting real hours to develop weapons I think the video would be perfect if it also touched on the positives, because it does have...

As a long time Metal Gear Solid fan, I have to say this video brings out a lot of good points about the shortcomings of MGSV. In my honest opinion, this was the most forgettable title out of the whole franchise, and the kids who are hating on this video are the ones that aren’t capable of grasping the deeper levels of comprehensive video game story writing, core gameplay mechanics, level pacing, and appreciation for what actually put Metal Gear Solid on the map. If you enjoyed MGS5, then that’s great! No hate there, but a lot of you need to understand WHY loyal MGS fans(I’m talking about those starting from 1998 MGS for the PS1 to MGS2/3/4 for the PS2&3) would be disappointedly in MGS5. If you can’t understand why, maybe Metal Gear Solid 3 should’ve been your first game........... then you’ll fucking know why. Or should’ve been Metal Gear Solid 1 as your first perhaps...........once you play those games first and then play MGS5, come back to this video and you’ll see that this video has A LOT OF TRUTHS to it. But it probably wouldn’t work that way anymore because MGS5 was most likely your first Metal gear solid game, so playing MGS3 afterwards probably would’ve felt more lackluster because it’s a 2004 game that feels “old” “lost with the times”. From reading the comments of the salty, it seems like most of the downvoters are the “I’VE nEvEr PLaYed MeTaL GEAR SOLid NoR HEARd Of THIs SeRiES b4 UNtiL MGs5 Bcuz it NEW and Omergerrd it’s The BEST GaME eVar BuT I doNT CaRe AbOUT tHe olDEr MGS gaMe cuz tHeYre oLdddd aNd OutdaTed ewww. ! FUCK THIS VIDEO FOR TRASHING MGS5 HOW DARE YOUU” If you’re a true MGS fan, you’d revisit and play the old titles even though they might feel more lacking in control dynamics because you understand these titles were actually revolutionary during its time. These are just my opinions. Best storyline goes to MGS1, MGS3, MGS4, MGS2, then MGS5 in that respective order. Best gameplay controls goes to MGS3, MGS4, MGS5, MGS2, then MGS1 in that respective order. I said what I said.

I so far have given this game a 4 out of 10. The whole MGS series is brilliant, but MGS5 was the only one that was poorly made and it sucked in many areas. I didn't feel that MGS spark like i did with the others. The game itself felt more like copy and paste. I didn't like the fact you couldn't carry all your weapons and create chaos like you could in the previous ones. Specially now that you have to pay GMP with the bandanna etc. The missions where not always that enjoyable, specially the 2nd part of the game, i mean seriously, the same mission, just a little updated with the difficulty. They should have given us something else. I felt ripped off most of the time because i just felt like i was doing the same thing. The buddies are ok, i've never used D-Walker, i don't really use Quiet that much anymore, most of the missions, it was me and D-Dog. Online FOB's are beyond shit. If you happen to build one and you don't play the game that much, expect someone to steal everything or kill your men. Konami should have a permanent insurance on your base so if you do end up being attacked and you happen to lose which i've lost a few, everything you had i.e men, resources etc wont be lost, they take a copy of what you had and if any of your men where killed, instead of you actually losing them, they should be sent to sick bay to recover. Another thing i didn't like is that if you want all the good weapons etc, you pretty much need FOB's to get to level 100, specially if you want the extra benefits under the S rank on certain platforms like medical and R&D. It would have been nice to have civilians on the map, that way if you see them being abused by the Russians etc, you could help them out like you get in Farcry 4 from time to time. I still play the game, i want to get all the trophies, after that, i will sell it. I got all S ranks on the missions, but so far, it gets very boring these days D:. MGS3 is my number 1 game, then MGS4, MGS1, MGS2 and of course, MGS5. I do hope Kojima is able to make another one, just improved and more enjoyable

I think MGSV is a bad finale for the series if you're a diehard fan. But it's a great way to leave off in regards to the game's legacy. I never touched metal gear except for Revengence when I first played MGSV. I didn't know the story or the characters. But I got completely trapped in the game for weeks because of how fun and engaging the gameplay was. The story was sparse and more of a side dish to the gameplay. But it gave me enough of the metal gear flavor to have me wanting more. Between the gameplay getting its hooks in me, and the bits of story grabbing my curiosity, I really wanted to play the others and see what I missed. I normally don't enjoy retro games, but I fell in love with MGS. The gameplay was different but familiar. And the story was the main course. I ended buying a vita solely to play mgs 2, 3, portable ops, and peace walker. It was an incredible experience and now metal gear has a new heart to love on in. That wouldn't have been possible if the final outing was a grand cinematic story that hinged on points from the previous entries. Now those unfamiliar with the game have an easy entry point. And luckily a prequel to help get them ready for a trip back to MGS 1.

As far as stealth games go this is one of the best ever made. So you understand where I'm coming from, I've played thief 2, 2014 thief, dishonored 1 and 2, deus ex, deus ex hr, mankind divided, all the splinter cells, most of the hitmans and every main mgs except for 1. I also typically ghost these games. Yes the story is flawed, but a big part of story are the themes, which this game imo has some of the best themes, and settings for a story in any game I've ever played. The game play is not tedious, in fact it's very dynamic. It's fine as a shooter but if you play it like a stealth game and try to ghost as much as the game allows, meaning no kills or knock outs, then it is very refined. The ai is great, the visuals are great, sound design is great, the controls are great, the progression is great, a lot of different gadgets comparable to a Swiss army knife, meaning items such as the box can be utilized in several different ways. There are a lot of flaws, many of which i didn't see this video address, and tbh this is already too long of response so i wont really go into it, but the lack of interior bases takes a point away from this game for me because there are typically 2 types of stealth games. Outdoor stealth games that focus on distance and camo and close quarter games that focus more on cover and routes. By not including interior environments for the most part, it limits this games potential as a stealth game because it doesn't challenge you in all aspects of the stealth genre. But imo this probably has to do with time constraints and the camera being harder to control in close quarters meaning they tailored this game for the outdoor bases. No game is perfect, I understand it can be annoying when a game gets universal praise because there are fanboys out there who can't take a single criticism of the thing they love, but this game does have a lot of merit. As for your question about the video, i disliked it because he bashed the game too hard. When you go to the extent he went, it discredits you because it comes off as more personal than objective. This was not an objective take on the game. Some of the points he made were also flat out wrong. I personally don't respect people like this youtuber because it takes a lot of money, time, and talent to even produce a game let a lone one of this quality, and it's very immature to have a take on a game like this man does, seeing as he's not the one out there grinding making games.

Big Boss was never a villain. You have to look at the storyline as a whole. The Boss didn't defect, it was her cover and Naked Snake had to kill her in order to make that story and the events of MGS3 stay secret. That is why he left and rejected the title "Big Boss" and was shown respecting her at the grave because he knew she was a true hero that let herself be branded a traitor to save her country. Portable Ops was just kind of a filler by a third party trying to explain some of the other character connections (like Grey Fox) to Big Boss. Peace Walker explains how Big Boss finally gets closure and takes up the title and starts working toward the world he thought The Boss wanted and to stop Major Zero from destroying it by running a completely different interpretation of what The Boss wanted. MGSV fills in the story of Big Boss and Venom Snake which tells the story of how Venom Snake was the boss in Metal Gear (MSX) and the real Big Boss was the boss in MG: Solid Snake (MSX). That is why you get heroism points because he was never a villain, but rather just a soldier doing what he was trained to do. Yes, the game is short and repetitive, but I've not had any issue playing it and still enjoy it even knowing how the game plays out and ends. I had more issue with MGS4's ending of making Solid Snake go off to die than I did with the filler of Big Boss going from hero to 'villain' like the Boss had done. I felt they should have made Solid Snake should have broke the cycle by settling down with a woman and walking away from the battles and war instead of having him accept his fate and go off to die due to the FoxDie mutilation done on his body.

+Clayton Weaver Why am I seeing so many people pushing this idea that Big Boss wasn't a villain? All you did was outline what happened in the prequel games and used that as a basis as proof as to why Big Boss wasn't a bad guy. Except that's not how it works. Imagine the original Star Wars with Vader is the villain. Then the prequel trilogy happens that tries to explain how he became the villain, but instead treats him as a hero. Does that mean Vader isn't a villain in the original trilogy? That's the logic you're using. Big Boss wanted to keep the world in a perpetual state of war. He sparked wars across the globe. Then kidnapped the now orphaned children to raise them as child soldiers, only to feed them back into a state of war. He stole a large part of the energy supply putting the world into an economic crisis. He pitted Solid Snake's best friend against him. I mean for god's sake if it wasn't already obvious enough for you in those games, he brainwashed Venom into thinking he was Big Boss so he could throw him under the bus when things got hot. In what world are you living in that Big Boss is not an evil fascist tyrannical dictator? Those things seem heroic to you? And that's completely ignoring everything Kojima said about how this game was supposed to address his descent into madness. Straight from the horse's mouth, this game was supposed to showcase Big Boss becoming a villain.

Thats all well and good but it doesn't make sense in this context since Kojima fanboys generally dislike MGS5 because of how different it is too the other main MGS entries and the bad the feud between Kojima and Konami got. I am a Kojima fanboy, I know a lot of Kojima fanboys. Not one of them likes this game outside of the gameplay/controls so if you're gonna talk shit about what fanboys like and dislike then maybe know what they are liking/disliking first. Legit if people who like Kojima and the "MGS style" that much then why would they worship a game that Kojima hated and got dissociated from, has weak storytelling, no humor, ruins characters like Ocelot, etc etc.

Well you're still being close minded and a hater. Yes The Cult of Kojima is a definite thing, there's always people who just nods whenever their idols says something. But also he's quiet someone, a successful game developer, writer and director. I don't think he is superior, and I don't think Konami is evil. You're talking about questioning "creatively" while we both know his works are completely comes from his imagination and creativity. That's how you make art, wheter you like the art or not. It's quiet clear that TPP is different from the other entries of the series, I really understand when people not like the game. But throwing away 80 millions? Sorry but TPP's open world is not like GTA's because it's simply not GTA. It's not a social game. It's open world because you can approach the missions with a different perspective. There's tons of tools, weapons and ways to do things. Like you can only play one mission and come up with an another idea of how to do it different. That's the fun of the TPP. That's why most people have so much hours with the game. All the replayability, tools and equipment. Not just only that but everything works fine too. Not even talking about attention to the detail. Biggest "thing" here is between this two opinion about the story. I can see why people didn't like the story, personally I enjoyed it but that's just an opinion. It's different from the other MGS games. Kojima works differently every time. His opinions, his mind, his thoughts and his tastes changes over time. Just like ours do. (Also, I never pre-order.)

Yeah I can agree with most of what you said. Its gotta be undisputed that MGS5 has some of if not the best stealth mechanics, controls and game-play mechanics, at least for MGS. But this game really hurt my soul after the hype lol it was like the second coming of Christ but instead of being able to do miracles he does some sick handstands instead hahah. That being said I still have like 110 steam hours for MGS5.
@suzy47276 жыл бұрын
I have smth like 400 hours. I think it's easy to get disappointed when your expectations are too high. Kojima likes to play with his audience imo. It's presented as a revenge story, so people thought it's going to be a superb revenge story where Big Boss goes crazy, burns everything and becomes a villain... Tbh that always sounded too cartoonish to me. This way it's better, imo. Kojima already said that theme of the game is "gene, meme, scene, peace and race", well, it makes sense after finishing the game. And explains why that ending is there.

Well, there's nothing cut from his vision game actually confirmed. There's missing things in the game that are shown in the previous trailers. But saying that those thing we didn't see makes the game bad, is a baseless crap. It's still a huge game. Data miners found a title card called "Chapter 3: Peace" and people said "Omg, they cut the game's third chapter!!" while it's confirmed by Konami that the title card stands for Nuclear Disarmament Ending, which is still in game. They said mission 51 is cut, but then again it's already confirmed that Mission 51 was just an additional content which later they decided not to complete it.

MGS 4: the fanservice game for hard fans of the series, that wasn´t well recieved but still has the heart of Metal Gear MGS V: the game that is for critiques to put straight 10 on their reviews, but shits on fans expectations leaving us with a phantom pain of a franchise that should´ve died with Solid Snake MG Survive: the game that shows us that Konami can´t do shit without Kojima. Instead of remaking previous games with the Fox Engine they decide to do FUCKING PACHINKO SLOT MACHINES AND A "POKE A ZOMBIE WITH A STICK" THE GAME

It's very understandable from a financial standpoint. MGSV had a budgeg of what, 80 million? That's the number that you'd be looking at with a remake of an older title, and Metal Gear isn't the type of brand that will earn you hundreds of millions with a new release, so why bother using all those resources in a costly game, when you can use them on something more profitable? Unfortunately it means that Metal Gear and Metal Gear: Solid Snake will almost certainly never get the remakes that those games definitely deserve.

@@kingnro1 why would it cost that same amount? That makes no sense. If remakes were so expensive we wouldn't have so many.

This is one of the best playing games I've ever had the disappointment of playing. It felt kind like Destiny, but with a 17 year personal history and hype behind it. And I still clocked almost 200 hours, just because how good the gameplay feels, even though it's not revolutionary or anything.. This is a rare beast, to say the least.

+Zagardal yeah comparisons to Destiny are very good, both have very good gameplay but a lot lacking in the story and characters... Destiny even manages to have a more interesting world than this, I dont know what we`re supposed to be doing in those vast empty spaces between the missions - picking up plants ? thats about it....
@Emil-Roma8 жыл бұрын
The comparison to Destiny is spot on. They suffer from the same problem: They both are examples of a beautiful and smooth-playing technical masterpiece that is an extreme dissapointment with too much hype and expectation behind them, not too mention this was a result of a blatantly misleading advertisement campaign.

youweechube yeah, I've been hearing that all over, and I'm glad. Destiny really is a weird game in that regard, it's nice to see it's getting on the right track. Phantom Pain on the other hand is just what it is. With all the crap going on with Konami at the moment, I'm not even gonna wait for another patch, that game is probably wrapped up.
@youweechube8 жыл бұрын
Zagardal yeah theres too many other games, i may go back to the phantom pain at some point if theres a quiet window on game releases. Ive just finished the Witcher 3 DLC which was epic, with a better story imo than the main game !

I have played the game and beaten it. The comment was more for OmnYfie.. and considering it grossed over $360m in US dollars or equivalent, from the amount of copies it shipped, that development payed itself nearly 3x over if its true that Kojima went overbudget of the original $80m

I have had such a complicated relationship with this game. From "This is the best MGS since 3" at release to "This is the worst MGS" a year or so later and dropping the game completely, to picking it up before Death Stranding came out to finish it and realizing it had pretty great gameplay that got padded out way more than it should've with a somewhat bad ending. But I'd still say its worth playing
