Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain | PS4/PS3/XB1/360/PC | Out Now

[Bryan Danielson]

Still the goat game, I put 180 hrs in it the first month
Had to delete this from my hard drive for a while, I thought I was legit addicted
Endless variations in loadouts and buddies can change it from a a pure stealth, from an action game, to a bullet sponge tank, to a futuristic super spy and the best thing is you can switch between styles in about ~30 seconds each switch. I would hate to be an uncreative nikka playing this game because you could get caught up doing the same things every mission instead of playing against some of the best AI with the best controls probably ever.

Its BS though you get the wormhole so late in the game

Imagine having it by chapter 16

[Raw Lyrics]

I will say this....I LOVE the Metal Gear franchise!!! Played Son of Liberty so many damn times.


But this latest release...was a HUGE disappointment. Part of what made Metal Gear so great was the incredible music in it....where the phuk was the music for this game? More likely than not, Kojima used up all the budget, with nothing to spare for music. I literally played old school metal gear music, for some background noise.

Where were the larger than life Villains??! Where was the dialogue? It felt so damn solitary walking around as Snake.


You have to listen to audio tapes to get the gist of the plot.....beautiful looking game, great control...but the fun factor was garbage compared to previous versions.

It truly felt incomplete. And while Konami is a piece of shyt company...the buck stops with Kojima on this one.

I disagree. The dialogue was clearly in the tapes, and instead of the format for storytelling being with long drawn out cutscenes, they put the story in the tapes while you explored the massive open world.

The main thing that was lacking in this game was the boss fights, but from a gameplay standpoint this game was top tier.

I rather have long drawn out cutscenes, than listen to boring audio. But we can agree to disagree.


And "exploring" the world became boring for me after about 30 hours of gameplay. I completed the game 100%, so I'm not half-ass judging.

I REALLY wanted to love this game....but couldn't - way too repetitive, especially in comparison to the previous installments of the series.

I 100% the game also, so it is what it is. It's the only MGS I can say I did everything in

 

[MMS]

MGS5 was the defining game of PS4 for me until God of War

even though the ending isnt finished the game itself got more than enough time (150+ hours) to justify the price tag. Its a classic and definitely better than MGS4

MGS1
MGS3
MGS5
MGS2
MGS4

we not counting handhelds for children

This is what I'm talking about. This game has the most varied gameplay of any Third person game probably outside of Dragons Dogma but it doesn't make you do anything different if you don't want to. Did you tranq/Fulton everyone?

Its BS though you get the wormhole so late in the game

The wormhole is cool but its cheap as hell. I am doing a low fulton/low upgrade run and you really have to think about when and where you fulton people when you dont have the cheap ones. But again its dope because you really can be a futuristic super spy

 

[Stone Cold]

Just Copped

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

I need that MGS/PS1 remake with remasted music!

Haven't played this, but

...was it marketed as open world? Cause having cutscenes forced on you would make it no longer that. Esp. With critics...

Death stranding coming soon :smugfarve:

 

[peppe]

I played this for so long, like legit didn't give attention to my GF a whole weekend just to play

the silencer + tranq sniper weapons had me getting S rating without even trying just because I liked to kill everyone in stealth had me

went threw the game as demon snake because I was a killing machine

 

[Stone Cold]

Bought this and Witcher 3 for $30

started witcher 3 but im not really feeling it so far

this is better right?

 

[Max.]

Shoot a whole camp down with a zzz silenced sniper rifle

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

fukking love this game until the first half ends... couldn't play act 2 but I still rate it highly and it's still more "next" gen than a lot of games out now.

That graphic engine my goodness

I wish it was used more.
