A story having a good point to make doesn't make it not boring.
MGS2 had a meta point to make as well but that game kept the story engaging and exciting throughout, MGSV is unable to do the same.

Am I the only one who think the gameplay blows? Maybe I should play with a gamepad, but sticking to walls often doesn't work, the game will often automatically switch to a crouch stance from prone on some weird geometry, instantly revealing you, and the camera is so zoomed in that you can't really see around corners. Chaos Theory did nearly everything better and that released a decade before this. I'm having a bitch of a time playing with the marking disabled.

wrong, it was kojima doing the story of genocidal organ, by his deceased friend project itoh and author of the mgs4 novelization (would've done 2 and 3 as well, but he died), but in metal gear. does feel like spitting on the dead to not include him in the credits or at least put genocidal organ in the inspirations section of the credits.
>>
>>683662670
joost can speak japanese, though.
>>683662824
it isn't at all. it's the plot of genocidal organ filtered through kojima's autism.
>>
>>683663654
There might be some common elements, Genocidal Organ is way too different. MGSV is more Kojima trying to point out the dangers of mono culture(the villian is supposed to be sympathized with, but writing fails. BUT WHO!!1). There are other themes in relation to the more personal aspects of some of the characters. But it's not the same thing as being related to Genocidal organ.

Either way, they are both third worldist, leftist retards. Who don't know that they swim in the waters of modernist beliefs.

>OH NO! NOT ME! I NEVER LOST CONTROL!!

>>683662217
I got the point, I just didn't care for it
>>
>>683664253
like i said, it's filtered through metal gear lens/kojima's autism, but the main thing is there. a "chain of retaliation" caused by language that sets the world ablaze. only difference is that genocidal organ, it actually happens, leading to harmony, where in TPP they manage to contain it.

Storywise? No. You just fight Sahelanthropus again, take what is left back to the base and Liquid with Mantis fly way. It doesn't do anything for the themes, the ending, the message etc. it's useless besides being potentially fun to play through and properly tying up a subplot.

MGS2 is the game Kojima wanted to make, and every subsequent sequel to it is some sort of commentary on the fan response to the previous entry. It is what it is

>All the tapes not given to snake are fake and not real.
>its all in snakes head bring remembered


this game felt like it had no ending but that was the point of it. Also this game did it amazingly well to hide snake being crazy
>>
>>683666384
Hideo Kojima is known for his unique storytelling and meta-commentary within his games. MGS2 is particularly noted for its complex narrative and themes, including the manipulation of information, the nature of reality, and the role of the player. Kojima's later games, such as Metal Gear Solid 3, 4, and 5, can indeed be seen as responses to both the narratives and the fan receptions of the earlier titles.

For example:

MGS3 shifted the setting to the Cold War era and introduced new gameplay mechanics, while still maintaining deep narrative layers.
MGS4 brought the series' story arc to a more definitive conclusion, addressing many questions and themes from previous games.
MGS5 further expanded the gameplay and explored themes of control and freedom, while also addressing the expectations and reactions of the fanbase.

Kojima's work often blurs the line between game and commentary, making the series a rich subject for analysis and discussion among fans.

Wildlands "soul" is insanely overrated, anon. The briefing videos explaining each Buchon were great but other than that, the game is paper thin. I saw a bunch of reviews saying how the game feels "so alive" and one retard even said how it "felt like he was in Bolivia" but it's all dogshit. NPCs seldom have anything to say, all the buildings are copy pasted red brick ruins and the terrain is mostly hills with lots of snaking roads.

I do agree about the sidekicks in breakpoint needing some work. Although personally I find them more memorable than the original squad thanks to their special abilities. The other guys were just 100% generic.

That's just describing the average person and every Fandom of retards in general. Not just these people who are out to slander your precious Kojimbo la creatividad.

>cannot comprehend things like unreliable narrator, unusual story structure or double meanings

Unreliable narrator is only good if it's done from the beginning or in a specific way. It has to be consistent and fair. Not MGS2 shock value bait. Poorly written things like MGS demand that you accept what they present to you 90% of the time to move the plot forward. Then pull a gotcha and brow beat you(so clever).

Unusual story structure is only ever good if you are experimenting with non linear causality or trying to emphasize specific points/times. MGS doesn't do this much(when it does its simple enough).

>double meanings

Like most wordplay, it's just masturbatory garbage only meant to appeal to dilettantes. When MGS does it, it's so cringe that it spawns memes till this day.

Who cares? MGS is low brow and so is the fantasy. You pointing this out doesn't elevate the vidya writing. Kojimbo is still mad to this day that he's stuck making video games instead of movies.

>>683669150
Oh yeah. Especially if you play without squadmates. It was interesting how familiar the gameplay felt compared to MGS V. Most of Breakpoint's locations are smaller, although there are huge ones scattered here and there, but the sneaking around feels really good, as does the shooting.

It's funny how the plot is all about drones and AI and rogue military corporations too, albeit obviously not as well presented as pre MGS 4 games.
