>redownload game after 2 years>immediately want to stop playingAn impressively quick disgust response. I wasn't far into the game at all apparently.
alright
>>720700232it's insane how this is the most popular metal gear game despite being unfinished and disappointing.
>>720700232don't have any friends you can talk to about instead?
>>720700359Not really. Besides, MGS has had a bit of a resurgence on this board cause of Delta. Got me itching to play one of the games, so I thought I would try one that I dropped a long time ago. I was going into it hoping I would enjoy myself.
>>720700350My theory for that game period is that a lot of people who never played videa before picked it up and got wazooed by the games that came out at the time, despite all the games being lesser versions of earlier actual master piecesLike how people think hollow knight is a sotn level goat hit when it's closer to Metroid fusion
>>720700350First Steam MGS and the most accessible
>>720700232youve just got to learn to like the gameplay and variety of stealth levels. Its not going to be overly cinematic or codec calls interrupting you every 3 seconds. Its just a well feeling game.
>>720700232You're playing it incorrectly
>>720700232The gameplay is just too repetitive, and the pretty graphics can't hide the fact that the game is just the traditional nippon numbers/inventory grind
>>720702616I can 100% believe that, but that doesn’t exactly make it feel any better either. In spite of being pretty awful at MGS1 and 2 (I slightly improved by 3), I didn’t mind continuing, but it’s not really the same here.
Huey did nothing wrong.
>>720700232Don't worry; as soon as you get past the terrible introduction, you can... visit dusty towns that are miles apart and take a very long time to get to even in vehicles! When you get to the dusty town, you can balloon everything in sight, then repeat that about 3,000 times!
>>720702850>when your son gets more pussy from your new wife than you do
>>720700232>>720702970I don't know how I had more patience for this game when I was younger than I do now. I'm guessing it's partially a consequence of having shit tastes back then (not anymore of course), and the other part being the fact that I lost my game save after the first chapter and didn't want to do all that again. I play non-lethal, undetected stealth, so I was pretty mad at the thought of having to do everything again. I finished chapter 1 again, but it's been years since I continued my playthrough.
>>720700474if you want to scratch the modern mgs itch just play through ground zeroes and move on
>>720703742It's probably because MGS 5 is a one-trick-pony, at least for a few hours. The game, after the introduction, is pretty fun: a huge world and you can go wherever you want, fulton almost everything in sight, and the gameplay is pretty tight. THEN, after about the 5 hour mark, the repetitiveness kicks in really hard.
>>720702970>>720703742MGSV would honestly have been better off as a movie.
>>720703995No, I was actually enjoying it during my first playthrough and was invested in the story since it was my introduction to the series. I'd spend a considerable amount of time doing each mission as perfect as possible without killing or alerting anyone. I was mainly pissed off over having to do everything all over again.
just replay peace walker, it's still a far cry from the main games but is significantly less grating to play than V
>game asks me for my date of birth>"what kind of gay Spyware is this">play MG on my birthday>HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CONGRATULATIONS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH SALUATATIONS"
>>720700232You know that saying "when your only tool is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail" MGSV is an inversion of that, where everything is a nail and you have a toolbelt of a thousand different hammers varying in utility and strength, but also you have a regular fucking hammer so you kind of have to force yourself to use all the other hammers.
>replace fan beloved VA with big hollywood star>have him do next to no acting whatsoever>90% of the story is in audio log formwhat the fuck was kojimbo smoking?
>>720702850>>720703007
>>720704791It annoys me that Huey looks exactly like Otacon and shares all of his mannerisms and patterns of speech>WELL HUEY IS OTACONS DADwhich is why otacon looks and sounds like his direct clone?
I imgaine it was fun on this board between PW and V.
>>720705217>TFW there were people unironically putting off their suicide until after they'd played MGSVI wonder about those guys
>>720705217the times leading up to V's release and for a week or two after, the chapter 3 shitposting was some of the most fun i had on this board, rivalling the DMC5 shitpostingthen we all realized that the "ruse cruise", ingsoc, blackhound etc were bullshit and were left being like "wait, that's really it"
>>720705073Same reason why all the big boss "clones" are actually considered clones despite being a normally inseminated egg that was then transferred to Eva.Gene therepy bs.
>>720705408Huey looked cooler in Peace Walker, he also wasn't 1:1 and the VA clearly tried to not sound exactly like Otacon which was cool
>>720704209>without killing or alerting anyoneThat should be where the fun comes though, when after a fuck up you either go guns blazing with Quiet or get Pequod to fuck them up for you. Support helicopter blew me away when the game first came out
>>720705217>>720705356the copium was palpable. some plebbitor actually went trespassing in a random building in hell's kitchen thinking kojima left clues there or something lmao
>>720705217The pre-release for MGSV was enormous.
>data miners found 10 gigs of unused content>it was just extremely high resolution scans of joostens feet
>10 years old game>story still being discussed and theorized (mostly because it's unfinished)>10x better game cycle than Peace Walker>graphics still hold up>iconic lines and memesI just want a new Metal Gear game bros...
>>720705970While konami holds the rights most of the major people behind the series have moved on after MGSV and not just following kojima over to his independent studio.It'll be doubtful to see anything other than remakes and re-imaginings now.
>>720705073I'm glad they tweaked his design in V. It was even worse in Peace Walker, like an actual lazy copy paste job.
>>720705970I just don't get the point of the story. It's a pointless entry in the saga. The only thing of worth it adds is explain why there are multiple Bosses and I guess it shows Boss was dick to people who loved him. That's kind of it. As it's own story, it's really only good for the final twist which isn't that good. "It was all a dream" is not that smart. It's kind of cool but makes the story a bunch of nothing
I'm currently doing a chronological marathon. After delta, I played PW, and yesterday finished GZ. Today will be playing TPP. Any tips?? GZ looked and felt way more difficult than those two combined. Guards see you from a mile away, and they stay unconscious less time. (I play those games on normal, btw)
the problem with MGSV is that it is a MGS game. badass mercenaries destabilizing third world shitholes is a badass idea for a videogame but it's bound by the retardation of the franchise
Just finished Delta. Still think gameplay-wise, V is better.On that note, will there ever be a Peace Walker remake? Would be cool if they started remaking these games in chronological order—that’d make the most sense.
>>720706932a peace walker remake would be the best next step, but i reckon an MGS1 one is coming next, then MGS2, then either PO or PW - most likely PWafter all that, maybe if we're lucky we'll see MG1+2 remake(s) but im still doubtful on that frontAc!d remake never ever
>>720700232What most people on here forget is that this game was designed for online multiplayer and not single player, there's no point in playing it offline unless you really liked GZ gameplay
>>720700350Franz Kafka's unfinished novel is analyzed and appraised more than some of his finished ones.pretty typical, actually.
>>720702970That was the only good part.
>>720705686You going to post the source on this or what?
i kinda wish Delta went full time jannies or whatever and started off a "new" timeline deviating from the OGim all for the remakes and am a staunch kojimbo fanboy but it would have just been more interesting than what's essentially confirmation that its just gonna be kojima game remakes for the next 20 years
>>720707581the last time they tried to branch out and try something on their own was Survive.
>>720708587fair point
Just give me the Gray Fox game already.
>>720700232This is the longest game in the series.
>>720700350>unfinished>>720702970>tranqs and fultons everythingMisunderstood masterpiece. Both in gameplay and story
>>720711262>unfinishedobjectively true evidenced by the existence of the Kingdom of the Flies bonus disc thing
>>720700232I can get myself through the entire Afghanistan part and afterwards I just remember the missions being mostly dull until it gets back to Afghanistan again. Not interested in FoB and at some point you start treating it like some TV series that you get really engaged in because of the cutscenes but you remember that it's an unfinished mess with no conclusion and you leave it at that to not feel the "phantom pain" again.
>>720711320>muh kingdom of the fliesThat was going to be the DLC, set on a separate small island to appease GZ fans. Story was going to be a little sidestep but would have had an open end with little impact on the main open ending. Tons of translated interviews about it. Which we never got sure, but the main game was finished as stated in the same interviews. Google them.
>>720714527>dude trust me look it up yourself
>>720700572can you shut the fuck up weeb, sotn isn't as good as you think it is, it's 28 years old and everything in it is deprecated design and has been vastly improved upon even in the early 2000's
>>720714565I don't have time to spoonfeed it to you. Ask Grok to do it.
didju rike Delta?
>>720700967same reason 5 was the best selling re game for many years
>>720700350le sandbox toybox 3rd person skyrim slop
>>720700232buy tom clancy wildland, V is 6/7 wildland 7/7.5
>>720700232All mgs sucks dickOnly this and pw add some fun gameplay even though most of it are very repetitive, 4 could be great if they trim down those retarded cutscenes and added more gameplay section
>>720704504worse, big boss has a really good voice in 4replace that
>>720717008I don't play UE5 games.
>>720717114https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Metal_Gearits not 2 beats it plus with the master collec 1 beats it too
everytime i redownload the game i stop 50% through because i realize its kind of a waste of time to replay old games. i'd rather try to experience new ones and its led me to play alot of good kino instead of just being comfortable with good games i've already played
>>720717695>buy tom clancy wildland
>>720717978re as in resident evil, 5 was more of a shooter and the first one to have a big multi platform launch
>>720700232Why do people make fake threads like this?
REAL?
>>720718495Unfortunately this was not a fake thread at all. It happened to me and it felt bad, because I was thinking that maybe I deleted it because I really wanted to play something else instead, rather than me just not being able to stand it.
>>720700232It's like 40% of the way to being the greatest game ever. Just needed another 3 years and 300 million dollars.
i will never forgive kojima
>>720717008what the fuck are those russian demon dogs
Was MGSV the first instance of people getting butthurt about a certain thing they heard about, but they never played the game?In this case child soldiers
>>720700350it’s the most “streamlined” mgs game meaning you do actually need try to be stealthy, just reflect mode your way out of alerts, develop overpowered shit like stealth camo, incredibly stupid guards even by mgs standards. Mass audiences like it because it’s so easy.
>>720726671*don’t actually need try to be stealthy
>>720726732Stealth like a streak, captain underpants.
>>720724528least threatening pitbull
People got tricked back then. First playthrough is magical because of the promise of "any time now it'll get like the old metal gear games and I'll be fighting bosses left and right" but it never happens; you just keep replaying missions on a harder difficulty until you unlock the endingHard to believe how fucking empty and devoid of any meaning both maps are. Not a single thing to explore and find; not easter eggs or hidden encounters/bosses. You have the skulls, at the very least they could've made us have random encounters with them while exploring. Incredible disappointment9/10
im big boss
>>720708587Is Survive really as bad as youtubers say it is?
>>720704312Whats the best way to please PW? I cant stand the PSP controls
>>720727957uh, just rebind shit to your liking in PPSSPP i guessi don't remember there being anything fucky regarding PW's controls
>>720727957ps3 hd collection
>>720700232>redownload the game>immediately play it for 40 hoursWas super fun too. Love this game even if the story is more jank than the others.
>>720705602LMFAOOOOOO
>>720727956kinda. it's more just painfully mediocre than outright offensive but that's worse imo since there's no real shock factor to how bad it is. everything works as intended, it's just not very good. The best bits are the parts that remind you of MGSV.
>>720717008I don't play UE5 slop. They had Fox engine at their disposal and decided to go with worse performance. Fuck spending money on new pc parts so that shekkelstein could make a business out of it. I will proceed to play vastly superior older games that had original ideas and not being remade non stop.>>720724528those are called "russians"
>>720726671>meaning you do actually need try to be stealthydo?also MGS was never a stealth game
>>720728578I’m glad you enjoyed it. All I did was try a side mission, and get annoyed that my Suppressor would break quickly and that I found it hard to see the enemies, since it was night. I think one issue is that in other games, you’d get weapons slowly and they’d be given out at appropriate times. But the way this game is structured, I feel like there’s no “reason” why I couldn’t just get a sniper tranq now, other than the fact the game just doesn’t want to give it to me.
V is quite literally the peak of Kojima's frustrationhe hates that he had to make it, and takes it out on (You)it's an MGS game in name only
>>720706860Basically this image
>>720727956>You unlock character classes AFTER beating the main storyLol
>>720725921RE5 with it taking place in Africa and majority of enemies being black people with parasites
