These critiques sound like bs imo. Sliding is overused and corny?? Really? It's literally used a couple times throughout the campaign to go to another area.
it's like saying climbing is an overused mechanic or that swinging on a rope is corny and overused.
Y'all running out of real shyt to complain about so y'all try and come up with these silly complaints. Since when was a traversal mechanic that's only used in areas to progress somehow bad??
That Mario 64 comparison you made up was dumb because in Mario 64 you had entire levels dedicated to sliding. In UC4 you literally slide for like 1 or 2 seconds to jump to something else.
It's hilarious though, a mere traversal mechanic that's used to continue forward in a game is somehow a critique but a critical mechanic such as fultoning people which that game is completely designed around in which the majority of it's objectives boil down to is ignored?? Something that makes the game ultimately a "capture the target" game with nonsensical micromanagement for captured enemies is perfect though right??
You tell me how that sound.
Stealth complaints again, i feel are a cop out critique because the ones bringing it up try to focus
solely on that to somehow parrot this "The game is mechanically shallow" narrative while ignoring that it's merely an optional additive to the combat. The densely layered levels which provide a huge number of traversal options and affords ways to move around the level is quite impressive. No, let's just ignore all of that and complain about it not having Splinter Cell options. I mean why can't I just smoke and wait till night time and then do the mission in the dark? Y'all sounding like these contrarian CAC cynics that stay coming up with bullshyt to knock a game down a peg when it's highly praised.
When you try to negate all that by saying "But you can't throw a bottle to lure an enemy onto a electric mine" or w/e you're sounding like you're trying to create an issue out of nothing and downplay the games strengths because you want it to be something else. That's my problem with y'all whole argument. Y'all entitled to your own opinion but if it's bullshyt don't get annoyed someone challenges them.
If I kept shytting up MGSV threads like:
"Man why can't you just jump from on top of a building straight onto an enemy to knock em out?? Why can't you hang and shoot? why can't you steal enemies clothes? Why can't you just blindfire from cover? Why can't you swim?? He can do all that but swimming is a problem? Why do I have to wait for hours to get better weapons? Why can't other soldiers join me in missions and play together? It'd be cooler to have 3 4 guys together.
Why isn't it coop? Why can't I just use Quiet? Why can't I pull enemies off ledges? Why can't I climb rocks that are obviously low enough to climb?? Why is there only a few cracks to climb??"
