METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

Generic, soulless, repetitive game
Gameplay wise, this is the best MGS game. But story wise it's one of the worst. I was really into the story up until Chapter 2. Then I began to lose interest when I had to replay missions to progress. Personally I think Kojimas problems with Konami led to the flawed chapter 2. Oh what could of been.

Most of the MGSV "missions" are so generic and almost an insult to the fans of the series. Why are we out doing missions taking out random arms dealers, or rescuing misc prisoners that have ZERO to do with the story?

People say MGSV gameplay is amazing, well I'd counter that the game MECHANICS are good, but the way it's implemented into the overall design of the game is lackluster and uninspired.

Sure each missions is "open ended", but all in all the designers just placed guard AI in a copy/paste village/outpost that has no interior areas. They're open ended because the missions are just, navigate the outpost and fulton/kill thing(s) XYZ.

My least favourite Metal Gear game. Just a very soulless game with not much going on in terms of story or characters.

There must be a reason for all this weirdness right? some mind control hypnotherapy or are they in a computer simulator that can explain why you have to replay missions?? feeling that there is something missing is supposed to be some kind of a fourth wall break? or maybe I can just scream "UNFINISHED masterpiece" and call it a day?

the best stealth mechanics of any game ever to date (and yes i have played most of them) is 'lackluster and uninspired'?

you make off-handed comments like this with :shit: all to back it up, but you claim 'no troll'.


damn i fed you.

but that comment is just so ludicrous

The OP didnt say that the stealth mechanics is lackluster and uninspired they said that the game mechanics are good but the way its implemented into the overall design of the game is lackluster and uninspired.

That could mean that the OP thinks that the shooter and stealth mechanics are fine, but the storyline and open world content are not at least thats what i think. Look at most main story missions that you do and what do the objectives consist of? kill/capture target, rescue prisoners with secondary objectives being gather blueprints. And all the while you are doing this you are spamming fultons like mad to beef up Mother Base and FOBs.

And side ops? how many extract highly skilled soldier missions are there? prisoner extractions? kill armor? kill tanks? kill heavy infantry? videogamedunkey made a comment about assassins creed missions and he said something to the effect of "this game has 90 side missions...but really what the developers mean is that the game that the game has 3 side missions 10 times each". Basically copy+paste content...

Please ignore the trolls they are the same person trying to make my life misterable because he tried to add me but then I later deleted him due to him PM me in a very stalkerish way.


Most of the missions are either forgettable or just not enjoyable (the total stealth, extreme and sustenance ones were all missions I didn't enjoy in the first place so I doubt I'll enjoy them just harder).

I had hope too with Ground Zeroes when you go into the prisoner area of the camp. The interior level design was completely absent from MGSV, besides maybe a couple blown out/open buildings.

Shadow Moses and MGS2 Tanker completely destroy any level design in MGSV, including all of it's "massive" landscape.

I'd rather speculate on what they meant instead of trying to twist their words around...
