Why do so many people prefer it over MGS3 despite being worse?
>>719316302because it's fun
>>719316302V overstayed its welcome
>>719316302It's better
Oh joy. I see you faggots are still seething about the best Metal Gear game.
its peak kojimaisms and unapologetic about it, plus its actually a good game if you can have fun with it. btw FOBs are the main attraction of the game, motherbase is the best setting, act 2 is better than 1 AND the game isnt incomplete
>>719316895Act 2 wouldn't stand out as much if they just split Act 1 into Acts 1 to 4, then called Act 2 'Act V' and kept it as an epilogue chapter without the repeat missions.
>>719316302Stockholm syndrome; it makes everything take longer, and the more time you spend with something, the more psychological affinity you have with itThe multiplayer aspects of the game are legitimately better than 3 though, I just wish the resource metagame wasn't a factor and you could just play FOBs for fun
>>719316302Piss4 generation loves generic Ubishit.They weren't even born when OG MGS3 dropped. Als, Delta is yet another UE5 demake.
>>719316302>le make your own funI'm literally paying money for them to entertain me. Why should I do it myself?
>>719317038>I just wish the resource metagame wasn't a factor and you could just play FOBs for funYeah, the game is a lot more enjoyable when you experiment with all the toys that R&D cook up, instead of sticking with basic poorfag loadouts to avoid wasting resources.
Expectation:>Fight against Zero and his Patriots who basically control the entire world>Build Outer Heaven>Final boss is Solid SnakeReality:>You just go around saving starving African children and that's it
>>719317094you wouldn't get it
>>719317339I can't overstate how much I hate Kojima for fucking this up, best gameplay of the series but the worst narrative and characters in the series. goes without mentioning his hyper retardation regarding the hollywood bullshit he was trying to pull with the american cast. what a colossal faggot, completely lost whatever good will i had with him at that point.
>>719317339The game needed better boss fights. Quiet was decent but not a standout compared to previous MGS sniper bosses. Man on Fire was lame. Sahelanthropus was a cool set piece but not particularly interesting.
>>719318032The story was good though
The game has more replayability over 3. V's incredibly smooth gameplay and endless player agency really sets it apart. There just a lot to do and a lot to manage. I still enjoy playing it to this day. Install infinite heaven (configure it properly) + user made side-ops and it's a masterpiece. Someone even modded in the GZ map with it's own side-ops. For those who don't know, infinite heaven let's you modifiy just about everything but it's main feature is filling up the world with patrols and more vehicles, add more and stronger reinforcements coming for you when you go loud. >>719316895Act 2 has pacing problems. You get called (forced) back to motherbase for the next story beat way to often. It should have slowed down and let the players breath a little more to let it's themes and storybeats sink in more. This off pace practically forced the unfinished meme. They also should have made it more clear to the player that there are better ways to get more troops (volunteer / deployments) because way to many people think they have to tranq and fulton their way through anything, which is a horrible strat in reality. >>719317010Repeat missions are optional btw
>>719317094>t. brainlet
>>719316895>AND the game isnt incompleteanon i...
>>719316895>AND the game isnt incompleteidk why this talking point always crops up. At the absolute bare minimum, Kingdom of the Flies was a piece of content integral to the game's story that was absent from the final product.
>>719324150>fight Sahelanthropus again>take the useless scraps back to base>Liquid and Mantis escapeNo wonder this shit got cut it doesn't add anything to the story
>>719324706It's a fucking unaccounted for Metal Gear, you retard.
>>719316827Just because you can roll around on the ground throwing a tantrum like an idiot doesn't make up for the entire rest of the game being 100 steps backwards from previous titles
the game's biggest weakness is open world
>>719324831Canonically ended up in a different dimension
because it's complete
>>719316895>its peak kojimaismsIt actually isn't because it has more gameplay than cutscenes than other MGS games and the gameplay is more involved too. That's exactly why I like it.
>>719328218i can give you that, but by kojimaisms i had in mind things like wolbachia or Venom and Big Boss
>>719328656>wolbachia or Venom and Big BossOh yeah, fair. Fortunately there's very little of it it doesn't impact the gameplay part so I mostly ignored it anyway.
>>719328656Why did people act like the whole parasite thing was some extremely outlandish concept? Hell in the same game the Metal Gear is literally controlled by magic.
>>719329126its not that its outlandish, just convoluted + code talker says wolbachia, cacongo strain or metallic archea every time he speaks
>>719328762yeah but mgs without kojimaisms is just splinter cell, cool and well put together but without staying power
