This game is just so boring.

[REPENT]

It's very sad. I replayed MGS3 so many times, especially on PS Vita. MGS3 is a game I love to play, playing MGSV after many hours makes me sad and angry. Why is it that MGS3 is still so fun to play but MGSV is dull?

I say MGSV is dull because of the mission structure. It seems intentionally designed to damage the whole game. It never really improves and there is far too much of it. And none of the locations are as memorable as any other game between MGS1 and now V. V is so weird compared to the other games.

I didn't finish the game yet but, so far I love this game. I have more fun in MGS V than MGS 3. I think everything is better (gameplay, graphics, etc.) in MGS V.

I must say that MGS3's story is better than MGS V's. Also, the secondary missions are repetitive.

And I like how in MGS3 you don't get all the weapons through the menus. You get them by finding them in secret places during the mission. That is so much better than having 10,000 guns to choose from.

MGS3 is the perfect MGS.

It's a matter of perspective. While I certainly agree parts are repetitive I don't agree that they're as bad as you make it out to be. This is just like Peace Walker just...bigger.

As for MGS3 being a perfect MGS game I agree 100 percent.

It's like Peace Walker except that you can capture the helicopters in peace walker :(

It shouldn't have been open world. There is so much pointless empty space, this isn't Shadow of the Colossus. This is MGS. After playing MGSV I suddenly began appreciating MGS4 much more.

And Peace Walker had co op mode. MGSV should have had co op. I played about 300 hours of Peace Walker on my PSP but I in retrospect I regret it. I almost reached that much for MGSV and I think I regret it even more. Moving around and shooting stealthily is easier in MGSV, but they forgot to make the game interesting. It's sad.

That... also Didn't I play you in MGO the other day? (I am usually the bastard with Recoilless Rifle and grenades XD )

Personally, I gave it a negative review and I still think from a Story/Writting perspective, this MGS is the worst of the series by far. The gameplay is actually quite good, but what REALLY saves this game are the mods.

I'm having a blast right now playing with BB PW model and Infinite Heaven mod. Specially doing comepletely 100% OSP runs, seeing patrols between posts, enemies using modified weapons, tanks defending posts or patrolling, etc...

That's what MGSV should have been in terms of side ops/free roam. Another fine example of modders having to fix the devs mess.

You played 271 hours and you dare you say is boring? of coz is boring you probably finish most of the ♥♥♥♥ it given you.....

Most games usually give 100 hours give or take if you want to play something that last you a thousand hours you might as well go play mmo

I played 274 hours because i'm a dedicated fan of Kojima. You don't know how many times I uninstalled it, only to give it another chance. It's not because I love it.

I don't understand, you can do more things in this game than in any other MGS game, have some buddies to come along with you and yet people call it "boring".

What is so great about the buddies? The dog reveals all enemy positions and the sniper can kill everyone for you. What is really so great about that?

D-Walker is the best one, and maybe also the only good one.

You can do more but is it all worth doing? Sometimes I think that Kojima named his game "The Phantom Pain" because he felt something is missing from the game. I feel that way too. The game is missing a purpose. A chore is an action without purpose, and MGSV is a chore. MGS1-4 are not chores in the same way.

That's the point. This game is bad on purpose so the fans will stop bothering Kojima when he counts his money while writing fictions about him and Stefanie Joosten.

So you like when a linear game forces you to play that way only instead of creating your own path.

You'll have a lot more fun with this game if you stop taking it too seriously. Instead of going in with your usual Sneaking Suit/Battle Dress and whatever loadout you use, try CQCing as many guards as possible. Or use the Water Pistol. Or the Rocket Arm. Stuff like that.

You've probably already beaten the story once or twice, so I honestly don't see the problem. The game IS an open-world game, which will always suffer from some kind of boredom issue after a while. It's just inherent in the genre because the game isn't trying to make you do anything specific like a linear game.

If you haven't already: Start a new game. Build everything up again. That's the satisfying part (imo).

Oh, and Quiet is awesome for all the obvious reasons. Deal with it. xD
