is peace walker worth playing.

[Daniël]

i got the legacy collection with all the metal gear solid games.

i played metal gear solid 2 and 3, now i am wondering if that's enough to understand ground zeroes and metal gear solid 5.

it's not that i don't want to play peace walker but if the game's story isn't that important then i would just play that later.

the road to metal gear solid 5 is long, is it worth it? XD!

There is no legacy collection with all the metal gear solid games on PC.

So I suggest asking on the platform where those exist.

No
it is basically MGS5 but on a smaller scale.

I enjoyed Peace Walker. There's a lot to it despite the scale of some of the maps. It's much better if you can find 3 friends to play it though.

It's a superior game to MGSV though. If you do play it, you'll notice so much that MGSV "copied" (I say copy even though, same game developer, you get the idea) but didn't copy well. Things like the Analyzer and soldier ranks, units and so on. MGSV is a lot more realistic and maybe "edgy" in some areas, like health and physics and such, but Peace Walker is more true to the Metal Gear series as a whole.

If you can look past the stupid singing AI pods and such, anyway. It's definitely worth investing time into - takes a long time to complete it fully, longer than MGSV...and it has a much better progression system and story.

In Peace Walker there's also a fantastic difficulty slider compared to MGSV. Both games don't have a difficulty setting per se, but Peace Walker steadily makes missions more challenging by including ghillie snipers, upgrading bosses twice, and so on. MGSV attempts this towards the end of the game with black vehicles and then later pink vehicles, the pink ones being so strong it's hilariously bad what with a gunship taking six cluster rocket launchers to take down. There's a lot of vehicle battles that get tedious in Peace Walker, but each one comes with a reward, usually a blueprint for a better weapon or a great soldier, compared to MGSV's crappy GMP and Heroism stuff, which can be gained much better elsewhere.

I suggest you stop sounding like a basement dwelling PC elitist.

i played mgs pw 400+ hrs when the game first release on the psp back in 2010, but the story(plus the true ending) only takes round 50 hrs to beat, its the countless side missions and the fun multiplayer mode that allowed you to pvp with your friends or carry out side missions with friends did it for me. the game is truly a time killer in that perspective. it could be repetitive sometime, but hey anything is fun when you're playing with your friends!
ps. but i not sure the hd version on the consoles have the multiplayer mode though.

I would have say yes do play Peace Walker it's an awesome game, it still is(I played like 300h+ it was awesome) but that was before MGs5 release..

Now yeah MGS5TPP is the "same" but bigger and better and will take all your time, PW story is easy to find on wiki

EDIT: Oh Peace Walker multiplayer is really fun if you can get ppl to play with you, its really a special experience very different than the single player

It's called PC master race.
Basically, if something ain't on PC, it's not worth discussion. If it was good, then it would be on PC because who'd pass on making sales. Only idiots, right?

There is more story in peace walker then in MGS5.

And you get to know pazz and some other characters.

[Kalsu]

[Tartarus]

This is pure BS . There's tons of great game on console and handheld!

[Qwertion]

It's a portable game with a focus on coop and the only mgs where I totally don't enjoy the bosses' design. It's basically different kinds of tanks and metal gears and all you've gotta do is usually just keep shooting them. The story and interactive comix-like cutscenes are pretty good, though. But, still, I didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as all the other games in the series.
PS: you can read about peacewalker story in ground zeroes, it explains stuff that previously happened in an eleven pages of average amount of text.

[NachtHemd]

best game for the psp after KH

I liked those singing AI pods :(

I first played Peace Walker on the 360 and it is my favorite Metal Gear.

It finally introduced a control scheme that made it playable for me (I love MGS3, but simply couldn't wrap my head around its bloated control scheme), and it condensed the gameplay down into small levels, stripping away all fluff, leaving pure sneaking strategy.

The story was amazing, the stylized comic cutscenes were animated enough to know what was going on, while leaving enough to the imagination to really enhance the experience.

Its roots as a PSP game are obvious, but its strong artstyle scales up beautifully. I am really enamored with its bold, clean look on the X360.

To me (and Kojima I suspect), Peace Walker is the legitimate fifth entry in the Metal Gear Series, and all the backstory Big Boss needed.

I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I am actually considering replaying it after finishing MGSV and craving a better story.
