Ground Zeros VS MGS5

[Reev1n]

So ive played GZ and found the game alright, and i was wondering since I found GZ kinda meh would I like playing this one better?

Ground Zeroes only works as the most basic level of gameplay, The Phantom Pain is all that gameplay, but elevated by 10. It's ok if you find Ground Zeroes average, it's meant to showcase the gameplay and let us play the prologue of the game.

With that said, The Phantom Pain is just ridiculously huge, there's hundreds of weapons and items you can work on, and there's already quite a number of facilities in TPP that are around the same size that Camp Omega was in GZ.

IMO, it's a pretty good game. far better than Ground Zeroes as a whole.

While Bite is correct, if you find the basics of the game "meh", I doubt you will enjoy MGS5

After seeing the (true) ending of TPP I have a newfound love for GZ. Probably because Big Boss is in it.

Should probably elaborate on what you found meh or disliked in GZ so we can tell you what changes or is improved.

demo vs unfinished game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well i dunno I played it for a good few hours and ended up dying, caused an uproar by openly shooting people, so i stopped and havent found any reason to pick it back up. It just didnt grab me.

Oh and also, shouldnt a demo of a game grab you and make you want to pick the game up? just my 2 cents on that.

Well, Ground Zeroes does punish you for being hasty, the game is really rewarding of patient players that take their time by not causing an uproar and killing sprees. With that said, The Phantom Pain is far more forgiving in this and does allow wild playstiles more. HOWEVER, it all comes down to your patience I guess, overall it's an unforgiving game, with unforgiving checkpoints and unforgiving enemies. The game won't forget your mistakes, not even your victories (The enemies adapt to your tactics).

I would say you're better off waiting and seeing more about it on youtube, try to find different players and see how they play, if you find the methodical, slow paced gameplay boring, then by all means, simply skip this. The game itself is much more refined than Ground Zeroes but the core ideas are the same, so if you didn't like the core ideas, you simply won't like The Phantom Pain, IMO.

Hard to say I loved phantom pain. One of the best games this year. You might you might not... I would still get it though since its such a great game.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Been kinda starved of game releases this year so i thought i might try something a little different that what i normally play.
