Is this game actually this garbage?

[Le Bron Musk]

Keep in mind throughout my post, I haven't played it. I have seen video's and reviews and this is an opinion based on that.

First off, I am not a huge metal gear fan. I respect Kojima and spit on konami for the ♥♥♥♥ they pulled, but that doesn't mean I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on this game because it's post-Kojima.

From what I've read both on these forums, youtube and reviews on steam, this game is so bland in almost everything it does that it's absolutely ridicilous that people are defending it.

A few things(but not everything) I dislike about this game:
-Visuals have barely changed, if at all.
The Fox Engine is a really good engine, which was shown in MGSV. The game worked really well for the most part and it was a fun game.
But this game, from what I've seen, has changed practically nothing in visuals. I've seen 0 obvious changes which might be because I haven't played it, but honestly I don't think it is.

-Combat
Are you serious, is it actually just putting down fence > poke with spear > repeat?
I have literally seen maybe 10 minutes worth of gun gameplay so far which was one of the strongest gameplay elements in MGSV. They made guns and bullets so hard to get you might as well just never use them, and the melee combat looks so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bland and boring that I would say it's the biggest thing that turned me away from even trying this game.

-Story
Is there even a story? Like honestly, it looks boring to me and extremely uninteresting, not a selling point for me at all.

-AI
Zombie AI, apart from a few cool things like stacking against a fence to the point where they climb over each other to go over the fence, is extremely stupid. Not even talking about the standing on a ledge and poking a horde until it dies part, I think that has been talked about enough. They're slow, they're dumb and they're weak as ♥♥♥♥. The only way they can be dangerous is if they surround you, after which you can still run away with 0 issues and just try again.

There's a couple of things I do kindof like about the game though.

-Basebuilding
Looks interesting enough, haven't seen a whole lot of it on purpose for when I might eventually play it, but it seems like the most interesting part of the game to me. I like basebuilding and it's one of the few things this game did right apparently.

-Co-op
Might get a laugh out of me for a couple of hours with friends since laughing at stupid ♥♥♥♥ in a game is always funny no matter how bad the game is.


On a side note I do hate konami for a number of reasons but this game honestly counts as one of them. It's like spitting on a game franchise with as much of a history as Metal Gear and even though I never even played the older games, I still think this is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing to do.

Also if you're just going to brainlessly defend konami without arguments or things to refute me, I'm not even responding to you.
Looking forward to what you have to say.

reviews a game without playing it... lol ♥♥♥♥ off

[Punkin Spice]

I too like Dunkey's videos.

Anyway, the answer to your question is "no".

[PoisonEevee]

You can't review a game if you haven't played it. Its a good game, and of couse the AI needs to have a bit of terribleness becasue its extremly easy to die in this game. Videos and especially VideoGameDunkey, (Love him) really did a ♥♥♥♥ job reviewing MG:S. He didn't play through more then the beginning ladder of the game, which is really boring. Its not until you get to the interesting missions.

~about chapter 10 you get a new enemy which is a flying ♥♥♥♥ which actually makes the game harder. You cannot just use a spear as this thing flies. You need to prepare for it. You can build a fence, and poke at the enemies with a spear but it doesn't work. Konami thought about this.

Story isnt great but its a decent abridged verison of the story and, even though I or anybody will count it as part of the metal gear story, isnt too bad. I wish VideoGameDunkey didnt just play through the first bit of the game and played some of the Salvage Co-Op missions.

Didn't know about that to be honest, sounds like it could be more interesting than what I've seen so far.

Problem with those sources is that they don't show endgame footage.

[Warlord]

It's not a bad game. It's a really REALLY crappy Metal Gear game, and certainly didn't deserve to ride their coat-tails. But by itself not bad. I've played ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ longer-in-development survival early access games that had less content.

The first couple hours in this game can be considred a tutorial. Later on you get the Mortar enemies for example, they got shotguns, machineguns, mortars and the like as their weapons, ohh and they are armored up like mad. There's the spiders, the flying things mentioned and the stupid plant enemies that you have to listen out for or they will leash you down.

The fense tactic only works against 2-3 enemies. Those fences go down super fast and... in most situations you aren't fighting 3 but more like 30 zombies so that fence tactic will work for about a second before they wreck it or just climb over it.

Ohh and did i mention the zombie freaking ninjas that will woop your ass silly if you try and poke them with a spear?

Or the bosses after you beat the game, or how insane it gets when you try to do the solo Iris digs or any number of things all these fools going after youtube money have no time to look into.

Yes.

It's a dumpster fire.

[Teran]

Here's an idea. Buy the game, play it for two hours. If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, get a refund. Try thinking for yourself for a few hours. It might sound hard, but it's not.

[Firaeveus Carron]

It's garbo.

He's already thinking ahead though. He could do so much more with two hours not taken from his life playing a garbage game.

[YAY GONNA NEED DA WEA??]

They don't want this games fail by fact and keep telling only good.even bug,they blind. So no reason for no reason too

Like spending his time hovering around the forum of a "garbo game" for three days throwing snide remarks in? You're the last person who should be throwing stones.

I had a good laugh reading this while translating stuff during office work.

Sorry that I had life. I'll try to become a non-functioning members of society next time you stalker.

[LemonyNebula]

Can't review a game you havent played? but thats what most youtubers are doing.

It is a good game but nothing is for everyone. Make your own decisions.
