I can't believe it, Kojima actually did it, fucking MGS4 is actually better than MGSV.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO2Zp4nwsFA
Even this shit is better than the MGSV ending.But that's because there's nothing like 2 fit old men fighting against each other holy shit.
>>321069038
MGS4s ending is better than any video game ending in the history of video games. That shit is unholy.
MGS 4 is fucking garbage and MGS V is a million times better
>>321069038
MGS4 is like 20 minutes long if you skip cutscenes
In no sane universe is MGS4 better than V
No, people can meme all they want about how 4 is better than V. But V was actually a good game, 4 wasn't.
>B-but 4 had the best gameplay of them all.
Fuck off with that shit, the TPS controls completely broke the game and most features were just throw-away because lol tranq gun, also enemies that insta-alert, thanks Nanomachines.
Mess of a story, mess of a game. The only thing it had going for it was the production values.
>>321070006
We all know that, and it's still better than V.
Besides, one feels like a MGS, and the other one it's just an incomplete and generic open world TPS game
>>321069038
You're either brand new to the series or a complete faggot if you're just now realizing 4 had a great ending. It was always great faggot. And V is good too, that didn't suddenly make 4 better.
>>321071145
Did you even read the spoliers faggot? I did realize how great it was, I said that because everyone keeps shitting on the game when it's actually good, not great, but good.
>>321070768
>buzzwords: the opinion
No respect for people who aren't free thinkers, kill yourself my man
>>321070768
Jesus christ delete this
>>321070006
The game is about 9 hours gameplay and 9 hours cutscene
>>321071257
>Using ''buzzwords'' as a term for criticism
No, you kill yourself.
MGS4 has an excellent ending bogged down by ridiculous cutscene and exposition after another cutscene with stupid bullshit. Only the first two chapters are any good and the rest is shit.
>>321071432
Nice opinion, you must be a professional critic, put a link to your Youtube channel so I can upvote your videos.
>>321070006
This. I borrowed a PS3 and bought the game used and beat it in a 20 hour period, afterwards returning both the console and the game and avoiding the Spider-Man font failure of a console for the rest of its generation.
Why you ask? Because the uncharted series is crap and I have dark souls on my PC
>>321071420
Its not criticism, you are parroting bullshit and you have no idea what you're talking about
>>321069835
Do you mean worst?
The entire graveyard scene was complete, unredeemable trash in every single aspect that was 100% unnecessary. It was probably the single worst creative decision someone has ever made
>>321069038
If anything MGS4 did right is chapter 4, microwave hall scene and the final boss fight. It also has good gun porn, they're modelled really well and there's lots of em
>play MGS4
>use only mk.2 tranq pistol and mosin nagant
the actual final fight for MGS4 was literally everything the series needed, the only way it could have been better is if it was actually liquid, but the whole atmosphere and feeling of that fight was just the sense of the end
>>321071725
Not him, but 5 doesn't really possess a lot features that metal gear solid fans love and so instead ends up feeling a bit like many other open world games that we seem to be getting constantly recently.
abandoned the series uniqueness to fit in with the open world crew
>>321069038
Too bad that isn't MGS4 ending, but BBs lecture about numbers.
The final battle was ruined after Ocelot pulls that stupid fucking "I'm not actually Liquid, I was just pretending!" bullshit
Seriously, what was the fucking point of that? It threw the series entire Snake vs Liquid build out the window because MGS3fags refused to stop sucking Ocelots dick
>>321071917
Fucking this.
The fight on Arsenal gear was awesome, but not enough to offset the graveyard scene, Johnny Rolling around while shitting his pants, or the overuse of " Nanomachines" to explain every thing that didn't need explaining and was just assumed to be super natural already.
Naomi literally reveals she has super cancer, said she was using nanomachines to not die, then turns them off and dies all in one scene, it was impossible to not laugh.
This game would have been better if snake just killed himself and big boss didn't show up
the big boss scene had me falling asleep in how long he takes to actually die
>>321072408
Not arsenal gear.. I can't even remember the name of the giant fortress thing actually.
>>321072462
This
Snake killing himself would have been a great way to cap off Snakes hard life and give him a tragic ending that people would remember fondly
Instead Big Boss is alive for no fucking reason, which shits on everything post MG2, then has the worst written plot exposition ever with that stupid fucking Zero thing and steals Snakes tragic ending so everyone can jerk off further about Big Boss while Snake dies alone off screen because Kojima is a fucking hack
>>321072002
> Fighting liquid who you already killed would be better than fighting the Boss' son and giving that fucking hero some closure.
>>321071519
nice, thanks! Just go to youtube and look up"killyourselfyoufuckingfaggot1987"and click on my latest Witcher lets play!like and subscribe pls
I'm starting to become convinced that people who thought V was a great game didn't enjoy the older ones, or at least appreciated them for different reasons than I did. I mean Grozny Grad was more compelling and fun to sneak around than 90% of Afghanistan, that is a serious problem when all these little base camps littered around become trivial and the only real difficulty and tension come from these big set pieces like the fortress where you confront skull face (forgot the name) or the Huey rescue mission, there weren't nearly enough of those grandiose enjoyable moments, I mean I can CQC a bunch of Africans but who gives a shit
>>321072616
Mount Snakemore
>>321072719
Kojima said he wished he hadn't killed liquid so that he could have developed alongside snake and been the final antagonist.
MGSV is just shit. I don't even have to compare it to anything to know confirm that.
>>321072729
Nome of the MGS games are hard, V is better than 4 and I've been playing the series since MGS1 came out in 98. I think the people who enjoyed MGSV are people who were fine, or at the very least not bothered by the story. Maybe they made peace with the game ending after MGS4. Not sure.
Ironically MGSV's story makes MGS4's ending better retroactively.
>>321072719
Ocelot was a side character until MGS3, which ruined the entire series
Liquid was always the more important one who had a much larger emotional attachment to Snake. The entire fight was built off it being their final battle, but Snake and Ocelot had fuck all to do with each other other
>>321072729
I don't care how big a MGS fan you are. If you enjoyed the complete wankery that was MGS 4, and think it's better than any of the other games in the series, you're retarded and cancerous to the fanbase.
>>321072030
I've been playing these games for a long time, I play 1-3 multiple times a year. The things that have made this series great for me are.
>the general style and feel of everything
>the dialogue
>the little humor
>the crazy enemies
>plots
Let me start off by saying open world only effects the way you play a game, it doesn't do anything else. The reason many games are open world is because it allows for a ton of freedom.
V literally has all those points I mentioned too, it has the same amount of plot detail and exposition its just in the form of tapes this time around. It's a tradeoff since cutscenes are still the shit but with cassettes you can go back any time, listen anywhere, and there's generally a lot more of it. It holds true with the series uniqueness.
The cutscenes we do get are very metal gear in the sense that they're grand, unexpected things happen, what the fuck moments, and its generally very over the top like the prologue and when sehalthropus shows up or when you first see skullface with Huey.
The humor is still there with the box and you can do a lot more with it, you can throw guards around, witness and hear funny shit happening with guards, mess with enemies, etc. Its there still.
Enemies are still crazy with the man on fire, skulls are a ridiculous unit that can dissipate and form at will, have telekenetic powers, and are generally very strong. There was your actual "metal gear" with seh and it was just like fighting ray except more dynamic.
Plot was still as nutty as ever and with the truth tapes, the ending, Paz scenes, and the goat tier quarantine mission it definitely still has a metal gear feeling of awesomeness to it. Making it open world didn't detract from the uniqueness at all, when I read this it makes me think the people saying it never liked metal gear, are new to the series and are trying hard to fit in, or they're just plain out shitposting.
>>321072719
>Fighting Ocelot who is a glorified plot device that you already beat multiple times would be better than fighting your twin brother who has been the main rival since MGS and giving Solid Snake some proper closure
>>321073004
stay the fuck mad, THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.NOTHING
>>321073004
stay mad that MGSV is a piece of shit and that even poops is better than it
>>321072729
The problem is you think that V has to be just like the older games for some reason. V is a different game and it still holds true to the series in the end by every account that makes it compelling.
MGSV is a good game that serves very poorly as a MGS finale
MGS4 is a shit game that's basically a movie, and although it serves better as a finale since it gives everything closure, every single bit of closure is terrible and ruins every character involved with nanomachines and fucking retarded plot twists that happen everywhere because Kojima is unable to just write a coherent story
>>321073178
> Fighting your twin brother who has been the main rival since mgs
Didn't you just assume he was snakes chief rival? The guy KO'd at the end of MGS and because ocelot had his hand grafted on you thought he came back to life? Kind of silly, isn't it?
>>321073004
>>321073280
Its funny because people said the same shit when 4 first came out and for a long time after. Face it you're a bunch of parroting contrarians who don't have a single original thought
>>321073347
Yeah we should compare this to Far Cry 3 in which it's just a watered down version of every other open world game. Say what you want about MGS4 being a movie, the gameplay had better variety, better pacing, more interesting gimmicks.
>>321073514
MGSV is a fucking prequel, there was never to be real closure like 4. It just leads on to the events that begin the series
>>321073575
k
>>321073528
Who else would be Snakes rival?
>>321073004
gamespot gave metal gear solid 4 a 10/10 so it must be good
>>321073653
>better variety
False
>better pacing
False
>more interesting gimmicks.
I don't think octo camo was that much better than mother base but alright
>>321073763
But you are, shit on the new praised thing and complain how it wasn't like the old rinse and repeat. Doesn't matter if you smash your own idiocricy in the process because you'll never learn. I actually liked both 4 and V after I played them since they're both great metal gears that go for different things
>>321073653
>better pacing
If you count 30 minute cutscene expositions every time you sneak 20 meters good pacing, then sure
>>321069038
>>321069835
I agree MGS 4 ending was better and more entertaining than whatever shit MGS V tried to pull out (with the exception of Paz missions and ending)
People claiming otherwise are fucking retarded.
>>321074345
The only thing that was disappointing about V was the fact that we know planned missions weren't released. Everything from Paz shit, to quarantine mission, revenge arc, it was fantastic
>>321073875
what are you 3? saying NO ITS NOTTTTTTT on the playground won't win you arguments. Here let me help you. In the first act of MGS4 you have so many different objectives and more interesting level design tailored to the gimmick items you get along with a frog squad fight and instances where you're in the middle of a warzone?
What the fuck do you do in MGS5? Rescue/Kill/Steal the target in an open outpost where the level design is non existent or the same as everything else. And even when you do get to the LE SKULL MAN FORTRESS you can literally sanic speed through it on a mech anyway.
Camp Omega has more detail and better design than any other base in TPP
OKB0 is a fucking hallway with three large room
Afghan central is a parking lot with 3 warehouses
Yakoooboo (or whatever) type bases are the best bases in the game and theyre 1/4 the size of camp Omega
The scenarios for the missions were also more interesting. The eye and the finger was intense and there was a reason to assassinate/extract them. Why do I even want to save these specialists and prisoners? There is no rewarding story unlocked by doing side ops.
There isnt a single mission in TPP that involves sneaking around a heavily defended base and destroying equipment. You can stand 70 meters outside of a base and destroy all the coms and AA radar. Its like shooting fish in a barrel
Also blueprint missions are sad versions of the Intel Operative mission
GZ does more with less. TPP has so much, including empty spaces and disappointment.
>>321071925
Every. Damn. Time
>>321074875
Oh please, I like 4 too but stop pretending like you need to do more besides run from point a to point b.
>>321072729
I enjoyed the older games for their time but they are terribly outdated today. I would go as far to say that PS1 MGS holds up better in gameplay compared to MGS 2 and 3 where you have to fight camera angles and control schemes. I never cared for past MGS small stealth sections because if you were in alert phase you could just run out of the area with little consequence since there was little continuity between sections (shoot a guard in one area, move to the next and no one gives a shit).
I find that turing off all gameplay aids and forcing yourself to OSP missions is far more satisfying to play than any of the past MGS games. For me its far more enjoyable to navigate through 100% of Afghanistan in V than 80% of the Soviet Jungle areas in MGS3 or 100% of big shell in MGS 2.
>>321074345
No, actually.
MGS4's ending completely destroyed Big Boss as a character.
MGS4 as a whole is probably one of the worst plots i've ever seen in a game, and by far, the worst MGS.
>>321071390
Maybe if you play like a retard. The 5 hour Big Boss ranking time limit is ez as long as you skip cutscenes.
>>321074875
Oh look at this poor boy, trying to make MGS4 sound less fucking terrible than it actually is.
What a sad task.
>>321074968
There's no other exposition to eye and finger except "lol they're bad guys get them" so stop acting like that somehow amazing
>no mission involving sneaking around a heavily defended base
What is the code talker mansion
What is the airport
What is every destroy the heavy infantry side mission
>>321074518
Shinning lights was also a great moment, but revenge? nah that was barely done right mostly because all the interesting parts where poorly done or were included as tapes.
For example, people on chapter 2 on Motherbase complain about Miller going nuts about revenge and whatever but on the game there is no contrast of Miller, you never see him being his old self (outside of the Hamburgers tapes) and without that contrast his "revenge" phase is bullshit, it is only effective if you played PW but it isn't for those that didn't. Ocelot is garbage this game, it makes no sense with how Ocelot is when is old or young. Venom barely talks and he seems more like a saint than a "demon" which makes no sense with the type of story MGS V was going for.
>>321074968
I don't particularly give a single fuck about Ground Zeroes.
It's a pretty base, that's all.
GZ is a cut down TPP that's a fact.
>There isnt a single mission in TPP that involves sneaking around a heavily defended base and destroying equipment
Flase, first mission in Africa.
>The eye and the finger was intense and there was a reason to assassinate/extract them.
Yeah, you want to extract them to hear the alternative dialogue that Kaz gives, just like those missions where you have to eliminate the target in TPP and you can either kill him or extract him.
>>321075271
>What is every destroy the heavy infantry side mission
Literally the worst ones. Armored vehicles with limited gear and no buddy are the best.
Airport is so small and empty and so is the mansion really. And its the dynamic of the eye and the finger. There is so much to that mission its insane.
>>321074968
>It's a GZ is better than TPP apologitic post
Loving.

>>321075107
>MGS4's ending completely destroyed Big Boss as a character.
How? By showing him alive?
>>321075575
>There is so much to that mission its insane.
Oh yeah, there's so much, like eliminating Eye first, or Finger first, or getting detected and them running away.
SO
FUCKING
INSANE
>>321075575
What about the first mission in Africa, sbeaking through the oil plant? That shit is cash
>>321075376
Revenge is something you may think will serve and make you feel better but in the end doors nothing. It was perfect, do you seriously need them to explain in for hours on end in every dialogue. Holy shit mother base got fucked up, boss got fucked up, they lost everything, it wasn't even subtle.
>>321069038
Yep, i thought it was literally impossible but that fucking mongoloid did, he managed to make something worse then this shitfest.
What you posted is the one and only redeeming thing about MGS4, that it has the perfect final boss fight for the series. Gameplay was way better then MGSV too, but there's way too little of it.
>>321075708
>''OH YEAH SNAKE, LET'S HUG IT OUT EVEN THOUGH I TRIED TO KILL YOU TWICE, LET'S FORGET ABOUT THE THING ABOUT TRAINING VICTIMS OF WARS I CREATE TO USE THEM AS SOLDIERS FOR MORE WARS, YOU DID EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED EVEN THOUGH YOU DID THE OPPOSITE OF ME, THANK YOU SNAKE, NOW IM GOING TO DIE EVEN THOUGH YOU DISCOVERED I WAS ACTUALLY ALIVE FOR THE SECOND TIME 10 MINUTES AGO''
MGS4 as a whole is a fucking disaster and completely broke everything that MGS built by making the Illuminati villains your buddies from MGS3.
>>321075708
He should have gone down a tragic villain, killed many years ago by his own son due to his hubris.
Instead he comes back with a geriatric Zero who is pissing in his chair
>>321075523
Yeah but the other anon was right. GZ was more politically charged than TPP. I mean you were invading fucking Guantanamo where POW had no rights and were tortured in every way possible to get information. Compared to the disjointed and shallow nature of TPP, GZ makes more out of its themese than TPP ever could.
>>321075575
I 100% GZ and there isn't shit to eye and finger except you trying to get them before they run away, and guess what there's a sure way to do it on hard without breaking a sweat past 5min. The mansion is much more difficult and tactical in comparison
>>321075961
Not really, MGS4 is a fucking shitstain and the only thing it did good was MGO2, and it was shut down.
The story, from the begining to the end, was a fucking disaster, and the Liquid vs Solid fight was the only decent thing, though everyone knew that would happen.
That game should have never been made.
>>321075793
Their guard routines

Oh yeah, tranq one, tranq the other, carry both to LZ.
>Identifying targets only on photo
You mean like in all the missions in TPP where you are tasked with eliminating a specific target?
>not to mention SOP
What?
>>321075182
You're using speedrun playtime as a counterargument to how long the game actually is
fuck off m8
>>321076335
No, it isn't.
It's a cut down TPP, and it will be remembered as the scam it was: a paid demo.
>>321076135
What part of "one redeeming quality" makes it sound like i think the game is good? My point is as bad as MGS4 is, V managed to be twice as bad.
>>321075874
That doesn't make sense. The only one lusting for Revenge was Miller and Venom doesn't even act upon it on the obvious target of it because "reasons".
Shit is a terrible revenge tale since Venom (or Miller or Ocelot or fucking anybody) barely does anything fueled by revenge that could lead to a tragic event.
Shinning lights didn't happen because of Miller or Revenge or anything, it happen because Huey was being a selfish asshole again and wanted to safe his ass (again) and even then he doesn't get due punishment (after all the shit he did), there is no sense of regret in the series of an action that you did (as player) that could be seen as "maybe if I wasn't angry or lusting for revenge I could have known better", You shoot your own men but because you are forced by the situation not because you think is the right option first and then realize it was pointless or wrong.
You can have a plot line of revenge without a contrasting figure or action that can serve as a counter point for that story. Venom is that counterpoint but he can't be because he is the fucking center of the revenge storyline and the avatar of the player. It makes no fucking sense.
>GZ was better than TPP
>people actually praising the piece of shit that MGS4 was
That's it, the Zelda cycle has taken over the MGS fanbase.
Don't worry, you drones will automatically start liking TPP the moment MGS6 comes out.
>>321069038
>play MGS
hey this is pretty fun, atmospheric, cheesy and graphics hold up. Way too much fucking forced actions with shit gunplay

>play mgs3
This is cool.
>>321076148
Your post is bullshit but I will agree that I hate how easy it is to identify priority targets in the game. How the hell does DWolf know?????
>>321076505
GZ does more with less. TPP will be remembered as a barren open world game and GZ will be a cult classic popular for years
PW, TPP and GZ are all abysmal.
>>321076075
What? You can use the fucking Stun Arm and stun everyone in the mansion without a fucking issue in 10 seconds.
>>321076176
Yes, and?
>>321076532
Not really.
MGS4 is the game that broke the franchise completely.
Average gameplay, ridiculously long cutscenes, even though most of it was filler, and some cutscenes were outright pointless...
MGO2 was closed, it's, by far, the worst MGS ever made.
>>321076148
TPP has this in like every mission. Did you not play it or are you pretending to be retarded?

>>321076696
No, GZ will be remembered as a paid demo.
And go fucking learn what a cult classic it is, drone.
GZ was popular and is part of a Triple A franchise.
Wanna play an actual cult classic?
Go play Deadly Premonition, /v/ is literally the only place where you'll see people saying that the paid demo was better, and /v/ has no say in pretty much anything.
You will all forget about GZ the moment MGS6 comes out because you will have to start liking TPP.
>>321076236
That TPP did nothing with its themes.
>Child Soldiers
>Lets give them education to abandon the battlefield despite most of them not trusting us
>Linguistic determinism
>lol tapes
>Revenge
>lol tapes
>Zero
>lol tapes
There is not a single theme in TPP that isn't shallow as hell thanks to their presentation, the only exception being the Photo collection for Paz and even then that shit is ruined by the need of having a tape explaining that shit.
GZ didn't throw shit at your face, you had to listen to it and then make conclusions, you aren't told that Paz is raped but you do know, you aren't told that Paz and Chico are torturated but you do know. GZ with its 5 minutes mission did much more to be interesting than TPP did in 300 hours.
>>321076696
>GZ does more with less
Not really, it just made missions out of shit that you find constantly in TPP.

Get the fuck out with this meme. Absolute dogshit multiplayer with nothing but exploits, balance issues and hands down the worst community in video game history.
>>321077272
>GZ didn't throw shit at your face
Because GZ was part of TPP and one of the first missions, you expect to be shown everything right from the beggining?
>you aren't told that Paz is raped but you do know
Oh no, you just hear her getting spanked and her moans.
>you aren't told that Paz and Chico are torturated but you do know
Yeah, besides those tapes of Paz screaming, or Chico having fucking bolts in his feet.
>GZ with its 5 minutes mission did much more to be interesting than TPP did in 300 hours.
No, it didn't.
>I played a two hour demo for hundreds of hours and wonder why I was burned out on MGS by the time TPP released.
If you autistically explored every aspect of GZ's small demo map for hundreds of hours over the course of a year while waiting for the main game, no fucking shit you were bored of MGSV when TPP came out.
>>321077334

Yeah but then do fucking nothing. He enforced the idea of releasing Huey, he bring Quiet from the Battlefield, he saved animals, he took the role to put down of their misery to his own men.

>>321077743
Skullface was literally nothing.
>>321077478
I actually did that and still like V though. Not hundreds of course just enough to 100% it.

You forgot that a gay vampire that could walk on water and was inmortal was one of the main villains of MGS2 and had boss fights in MGS2 and 4?
>>321077986
>All the people outside of the circle jerk get laughed at
You don't say
>>321078054
And Ocelot was running around making fucking gun hand motions and acting like a massive joke despite the fact that the personality didn't match either Liquid or Ocelots
>>321078054
The side character who cucked Solid Snake himself.
>>321078054
>hey guys I hipnotized myslef into being liquid
>my arm IS NOT POSSESSED HAHA
>>321077572
Then again he isn't really boss so the revenge probably doesn't resonate with him like it would with boss. That and not everyone is a bleeding asshole for revenge, quiet, Huey while at one point aided shit face were proving just as useful to him alive. Also he didn't go into quarantine with knowing he would end up killing them all he kind of had to in the end
>>321078237
You forgot about _______ that had a boss fight in MGSV.
>>321073139
bruh, the game's incomplete. It would've been fine if it didnt abruptly end and have a retarded twist that essentially rendered the game's entire plot irrelevant. think about it, what happened in V that really mattered in the overall storyline of MGS? They fixed a 20 year old "plothole" that no one cared about? Bravo Konami.
>>321077636
I remember they got laughed out when it first started but I've recently seen a lot more of it
>>321078482
Quiet, Sahelanthropus, Skulls?
>>321078482
Vamp in 4 is literally the worst MGS character ever
>>321078189
Yes, the keyword is WAS
They took the joke character who shit his pants every game and made him attractive and shoehorned him into a romance subplot because MGS4 was a joke
>>321078482
You mean sahelanthropus ?
>>321078489
>what happened in V that really mattered in the overall storyline of MGS? They fixed a 20 year old "plothole" that no one cared about?
It's quite hard to make a game change the entire franchise when all the things that happen in the future are already told.
>>321077349
I did it like 3 millions times, go to the 2nd floor near the stair case and you will be in radios to stun everyone withing the mansion before freeing Code Talker. Sure the game will then spawn either the puppet soldiers if you didn't kill all the Skulls snipers or spawn a patrol guard and a thank near the bridge but that doesn't mean the mission is easy as shit. The only hard part is killing the Skulls snipers but that can be done easily with the Anti Material Rifle + Smoke grenade launcher and NVG.
>>321078297
Because Ocelot was so god damn awesome in V right?
>>321078607
So we're agreeing
>>321078489
Wait so you're saying that because of that it makes it not a metal gear or feel like one? The game was cut short by at least one mission for sure we know this but we don't know to what extent , konami are bastards I think we can all agree but that doesn't prove anything that anyone of the shitters I replied to tried to say

>>321079482
No, MGS4 was the one who made the changes.
MGS3 just explained the origins of several things, mainly Big Boss.
You can't do anything more with sequels.
>>321079591
It is.
Yes, I initiated the shit posting of this metal gear thread in order to hide its secrets and the wrest power from the powers that be for enough time for me to get into their database. I used you in the last thread as a diversion to the real mission. Acquire the hard drive with the information determining the final whereabouts of the Michelle MtF surgery. Because of you I was able to strike another blow for Trans rights against THE PATRIACRHY. Your mission is finished anon, you were very useful.
MGS4 is a way better conclusion to the series, but the game as a whole is much worse than MGSV. Act 3 alone makes it far worse.
>>321079162
Then you are fucking retarded. Sure you hope on a tank and you reach the mansion without being see by the skull face in a second. Also You have to take them down if you want to have all the tasks done in the mission and they gangraping you 4 to 1 isn't easy unless you figure out the places where you can stand without being pointed by the 4 skulls at the same time. Once you do is easy as shit to kill all 4 of them.
Infiltrating the mansion is easy as shit as well you only have to roll down either through the low part of the mansion and then use the stun gun but you will most likely have 2 or 3 soldiers outside the 90 mts radios of the stun arm. Or you could go to the second floor as I said before.
>>321079738
A prequel can't be a conclusion.
It could only be a conclusion if it fast-forwarded and retold MGS4's ending.

Bye reddit
>>321079894
Shut up cuck.
>>321079894
Are you fucking serious? MGS 3 didn't meet half the shit MGS 2 got and MGS4 was criticized to hell and back because of their retarded cutscenes and plot, people defending MGS 4 do it mostly because it has some of the most climatic moments in the franchise.
MGS V has nothing going on for it other than tight controls.
>>321079985
I've been playing these games for a long time, I play 1-3 multiple times a year. The things that have made this series great for me are.
>the general style and feel of everything
>the dialogue
>the little humor
>the crazy enemies
>plots
Let me start off by saying open world only effects the way you play a game, it doesn't do anything else. The reason many games are open world is because it allows for a ton of freedom.
V literally has all those points I mentioned too, it has the same amount of plot detail and exposition its just in the form of tapes this time around. It's a tradeoff since cutscenes are still the shit but with cassettes you can go back any time, listen anywhere, and there's generally a lot more of it. It holds true with the series uniqueness.
The cutscenes we do get are very metal gear in the sense that they're grand, unexpected things happen, what the fuck moments, and its generally very over the top like the prologue and when sehalthropus shows up or when you first see skullface with Huey.
The humor is still there with the box and you can do a lot more with it, you can throw guards around, witness and hear funny shit happening with guards, mess with enemies, etc. Its there still.
Enemies are still crazy with the man on fire, skulls are a ridiculous unit that can dissipate and form at will, have telekenetic powers, and are generally very strong. There was your actual "metal gear" with seh and it was just like fighting ray except more dynamic.
Plot was still as nutty as ever and with the truth tapes, the ending, Paz scenes, and the goat tier quarantine mission it definitely still has a metal gear feeling of awesomeness to it. Making it open world didn't detract from the uniqueness at all, when I read this it makes me think the people saying it never liked metal gear, are new to the series and are trying hard to fit in, or they're just plain out shitposting.
I had fun with MGSV.
I just played MGS4 for the story.
Never replayed it.
>>321080013
>call me reddit
>he doesn't have the game 100% and doesn't know how broken it is.
Shit you can roll in front of a solider in fucking dailight less than 15 mts away from them and they will never notice you. MGS V AI is fucking retarded and blind.
>>321080072
>MGS V has nothing going on for it other than tight controls.
We will have to wait for MGS6 for those things to come out.
People said the same in here about MGS4, that it had no redeeming qualities, and suddenly people are finding them everywhere.
>>321079894
>MGS3 got shat on
No fucking way, I refuse to believe people was that stupid. Me and my friends loved it when it came out, hell, everyone I knew liked it at least.
MGSV has the best story written in vidya history..
The artist that did the novelization cried tears of joy during the process.
So stop hating on MGSV you cunts, it did nothing wrong
>>321080237
Those people weren't /v/

You have to be retarded. The very first week people were claiming the boss fights were incredible, specially the rey vs rex and the Ocelot vs Liquid fight, and the part where you hold your ground while Raiden kick ass on slit screen or the return to shadow mosses and the like. MGS 4 had great moments, the problem was that it was buried over a shit ton of shit. MGS V barely has any moments like that.
>>321080098
>copy-pasta
It's the same problem I have with Fallout 4: it's a good game, just not a good fallout game.
If I'm being called a shitposter for saying that, then that's fine. I have no reason to justify my opinion, as long as people have fun with the video game then who cares, I personally just got over-hyped and did not get the satisfaction I wanted from it.
>>321080630
Read the novel.
>>321080505
What? Please provide link I want to read that fan fiction.
>>321080684
No, they weren't, they were all shitting on the plot and how the game made your MGS3 buddies the fucking Patriots.
> the boss fights were incredible
Are you kidding?
I remember one time where were 10 FUCKING THREADS memeing about the stories of the B&B's and talking about how terrible they were.
>MGSV is shittier than MGS4
>it's still 33% off in literally every sale
Fuck this shit and fuck you Gaben
I'd rather pay $30 for it than $40
Hell, even Witcher 3 is 50% off
>>321080684
Don't worry, MGS6 will come out, and you memers WILL find out good things to show off that game.
Your opinion is completely invalid until then.
>>321080857
I am not talking about B&B. I am talking about the fight with Ocelot and Rey vs Rex, and the microwave tunnel. MGS 4 had a lot of shit going on for it and people love it that from day 1. A lot of other people were complaining about the ending of BB being alive and Zero and the rest of the game in general.
You are retarded if you think shit like "zelda" cycle is actually real.
>>321077272
never go full retard.
>>321081156

Every fucking time you brought that up back then people would come out with
>BUT THESE PARTS ARE SHIT
They didn't give a fuck, they just wanted to shit on MGS4, just like people now just want to shit on MGS5.
This is how /v/ is, and how it will always be.
They will shit on the new game and praise the previous one, ALWAYS.
>>321080696
>Can't defend his nonsensical point that makes no sense
>b-but I don't have to prove anything!!
>>321080994
You are retarded. There are good things about MGS V now. Controls. Some Missions. But the hole of the game? No fucking way. The outpost are bad and barely protected. The open world is empty as hell (there are barely patrols from outpost to outpost and never see a tank or helicopter outside of side ops), the AI is terrible, The management of MB is barely better than PW (and in some aspects PW is better, specially when it comes to Morale and medals system), Boss fights are terrible, there are over 13 repeated missions (and only 2 subsistence missions, which is the worse offence, if you are going to that at least have more subsistence missions) including a repeat mission of the tutorial level. Missions are repetitive as shit and the Side ops are the worse offenders of this.
>>321081370
I'm not sure what your point is. It's my opinion, which is already a terrible thing to have on /v/. I'm not going to argue personal taste, unless you're wanting me to argue for the sake of arguing, anon.
If you liked it, all the more power to ya.
>>321081727
What you are saying right now is completely irrelevant.
People will start automatically loving TPP the moment MGS6 comes out.
>>321080237
It had nothing to do with the MGS2 cliffhanger or the rest of the series in general and was basically a James Bond ripoff but with the main character having autism
>>321081837
No. Fuck you you are being fucking retarded. The problems of MGS V aren't going away because times goes on.
>>321075972
If that's how you thought MGS4 ended then you're a fucking retard. Big Boss literally spends 15 minutes saying "Welp, me and Zero fucked everything up for everyone because we thought we thought we were clever little shits. I guess you were the only kind of person who actually had the Boss' ideals figured out and you never even fucking knew her, so way to go. I'm ready to die now, but enjoy the rest of your life actually doing what you want to do for once."
I feel like half the people who hated MGS4's ending somehow managed to totally misunderstand it despite it explicitly explaining itself several times over.
>>321082002
They won't, but people will pretend they will.
Just like now people are pretending MGS4 didn't completely break the franchise, just how people are pretending like the Act 3 or Sunny itself didn't exist, just like how people are pretending the Mission Briefings weren't nap time.
Just like now, people will ignore the flaws, and remember the good parts, because that's how our brain works.
>>321081730
Fuck you faggot, my problem isn't with what people like and don't like its with people making bullshit claims and not knowing what they're talking about.
>but much opinion
Back to reddit
>>321082153
The Boss' ideals were literally
>Chill out with the Illuminati bullshit.
There's nothing to understand.
Big Boss is suddenly good and suddenly regrets everything and dies a third time.
It was a terrible ending.
>>321082153
Also MGS V enforce that reading of MGS 4.
>>321069038
>People actually liked the writing in any MGS game
Kojima is even worse at writing than he is at "directing".
unfinished and controversial as it is, mgsv is easily one of the best mgs games. I was a massive defender of 4, and 4 still has more problems than you can shake a stick at.
If people would accept that "V" means it's a fucking side story and stop sucking Darth Vader dick for big boss they'd realize even the ending is solid and much cleaner than a majority of the other titles. If you're still bitching that this game didn't give you Darth Boss: Revenge of the Patriots, you have your fanservice game, which was mgs4.
>>321082002
>the problems of 4 won't go away because V comes out
Anyone got a link to the translated MGSV novelization? Want to check how much of a train wreck it is
>>321082436
And did I ever said MGS 4 didn't have problems? But MGS 4 is a best MGS game than MGS V.
>>321082534
Thanks for proving our point
MGS5's ending was so shit. Goddamn I haven't sat back and said "what the fuck?" to a game ending in a long time.

This
>MGS1
Escape from New York rip off
>MGS2
MGS1 ripoff with Illuminati/Big Brother
>MGS3
James Bond ripoff
>MGS4 onwards
Somewhat original writing, but the writing itself is terrible
>>321082434
The problem with MGS V story has nothing to do with its tone but with its execution. It doesn't matter what story MGS V is trying to tell when they do it so fucking poorly.
>>321082534
MGS4 was terrible though.
>>321082663
Yes because all the writing in every mgs, every plot detail can be chalked up to a sentence
>>321082349
That's entirely the fucking point.
Every single post-MGS3 conflict was brought about by people misinterpreting the simplest philosophy in the world.
Big Boss didn't realize it until after everything had crashed down on him and he later woke up and saw what kind of world he helped create, at which point he went "oh shit, I'm fucking retarded, Zero was fucking retarded, goddamn, shit, we fucked up"
Big Boss was not "suddenly good" just because he was finally willing to admit he was wrong.
>>321082725
MGSV had Skull Face, he puts all the MGS villains to shame. Guy was a pure genius with shit luck (when he got crushed by Sehalathropus)
>>321082750
Oh yes, its low were pretty fucking low. Still was a better MGS game than MGS V.
>>321082773
But people make such a big deal about the games story, but you can just watch those movies and get much better ones
>>321082314
That's a bit rude, anon.
I could point out that I disliked the FOB mechanics, or how the story cutting short instead of finishing properly (or how the ending invalidated my feelings a few hours ago), or how there was like not many bosses compared to other titles, but it's all been discussed and you being hostile shows that I would indeed be wasting my breath.
>getting mad over my opinion
Damn if you do, damned if you don't, huh?
>>321083032
Not really, I actually had fun with MGSV, no matter it's repetitiveness.
MGS4 was boring to play and the story ended up making me wish it would end already.
Literally no redeeming points.
Shame they didn't make anything else with the bits where you control REX though.
>>321083220
Then you are beyond help. Go enjoy empty sandbox #45 that is coming out next month then.
>>321083032
MGS4 was shit as a MGS game and absolutely disastrous as a videogame.
Not only did it destroy what previous MGS games built, the cutscenes were way too long and some of them were pointless filler, like every single cutscene regarding Sunny.
At least MGSV had the decency of being quite self contained and only affecting small details.
>>321083123
>still trying to backtrack and ignore the original claim that was made
Wew lad
And that isn't an opinion, its an objectively wrong statement
>>321069038
Despite all the padding MGSV is still a longer game with gameplay mechanics that are unmatched even by open world standards. Its only fault is the fact that Konami rushed it. The story line about a nukes controlled by a single man and proliferated across the world is more gripping than anything else in the MGS universe. The underlying motif behind the parasite biological weapon is nothing short of genius. As much as I disliked the cringy jav Kojima parts and the cut content of Big Boss building up Outer Heaven in Galzburg. The game still gets closer to bridging the gaps between MGS3 and the original Metal Gear.
>>321083410
Pull that dick out of your ass, mgsv and w3 are good games
>>321083410
Why, because I didn't like those overly long scenes showing fucking nothing?
Because I didn't enjoy the generic third person shooter mechanics?
Or because I didn't enjoy seeing the side character who shat his pants marry Solid Snake's girlfriend?
It was fucking horrible, and only Act 1 and 2 felt like infiltrating places, the rest were filled way too much with cutscenes and empty places were sneaking made no sense.
>>321079089
>>321083764
>good games
Good goy, go enjoy more open world games! Maybe I could interest you in the latest Asassins Creed or some other crap.
>>321083807
And what did MGS V bring to the table? A fucking boring Open World? Repetitive missions? A shit ton of options you will never use unless you go out of your way to use them?
That shit is for retarded bethesda games, you are paying money to be entertained not to seek your own fun.
>>321084171
Nothing, I just had fun with it, unlike with MGS4.
>not to seek your own fun.
And I was entertained, I have 329 hours clocked in MGSV.
>>321084171
It brought what every metal gear has ever brought but with better gameplay and less scenes in the form of cassettes
>>321069038
>Even this shit is better than the MGSV ending.
What MGSV ending?
>>321084171
I always wanted a operator simulator, but ArmA 3 was way too complicated.
>>321083807
>>321084171
Why are you guys arguing, MGS4 and V are both garbage games and the MGS series should have just ended with 3
>>321070213
>the TPS controls completely broke the game and most features were just throw-away because lol tranq gun, also enemies that insta-alert
Sounds more like MGSV
>>321084460
Nice meme, but it does have an ending.
Don't confuse it with the ending having no build up.
>>321084484
your garbage
>>321083613
>I disliked the FOB mechanics
An opinion
>story cutting short (and not liking that)
also an opinion
>not many bosses as preferred (compared to previous games)
also not a fact
I don't recall stating a fact that was incorrect.
The FOB mechanics existed and I disliked it because it seemed like fluff and a way for Konami to get micro-transactions in a MGS game, the plot (game) was actually shorter than it was supposed to be and I did not like that because goddamn it I want to see what Hideo wants me to see, not what Konami wants to get pushed out to meet a deadline, and the number of bosses (I count 4 unique ones [5 if you include Eli]) and I didn't like that because MGS was known for it's epic bosses, and The Man on Fire was the only one I really enjoyed (Metal Gear Sahelanthropus comes in second because of scale).
Some could argue that all of my points are wrong/stupid and that I don't know what I'm talking about, and that's fine. They just got more enjoyment out of the game than I did.
MGSV was a mess too but it does have a few things going for it.
The only things MGS4 has going for it are a nice art direction and awful fanservice.
MGSV is easily the most disappointing video game experience as a whole in my case. Even as a standalone game it's barely mediocre.
>>321084597
You mean the one that was a video on a blu-ray? Oh yeah.
>>321084473
This, I enjoyed the fuck out of MGSV as a Mercenary game
>>321084387
>gameplay
You don't even know what that word means. The Gameplay of MGS V is garbage. The Controls are the best among the entire series but the Gameplay? Pls.
>>321084703
That's not the ending, that's the final boss.
The TRUTH mission ends in Outer Heaven right before MG1.
That's the ending.
>>321084773
He probably means that he hadfunwith it.
>>321069038
Yeah MGS4 is a better game than MGSV, but I like playing MGSV because the keyboard+mouse controls are vastly superior than shitty controller shooting.
>>321083007
But it's pointless and doesn't contribute much of anything to the greater narrative. It's just a heavy-handed way of making things very literal and easily summarized.
MGS4's ending is fucking awful. Big Boss coming back out of nowhere to tell Solid Snake he's a cool guy (when we, the audience, have always known he's a cool guy) was stupid. Reducing everybody's motivations to THE BOSS'S WILL was likewise very stupid.
Anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention could see the connection between The Boss and her speech to Naked Snake and Big Boss's later actions with Outer Heaven. MGS4 doesn't tell us anything we either didn't already know or didn't need to know.
>>321084623
The guy I originally replied to said mgsv wasn't metal gear and didn't feel like one. But it is in all aspects. Fucking moron fuck off back to reddit
>>321085513
But it isn't and your counterpoints are retarded.
>>321071917
Phantom menace
>>321085513
Still talkin' to him.
Does Reddit not like MGSV or something? I don't understand your affinity with it. I has aspects of Metal Gear, it just felt it had changed a lot in order to pander to the lowest common denominator. You don't believe that, and it's fine, I just feel differently and agreeing to disagreeing is not a bad option to go with. Out of curiosity I would like to know what your favorite parts of MGSV are so I can see if I can relate to those moments or not.
>>321071917
Fuck you, BB appearing out of nowhere while mumbling words of encouragement was the tightest shit
>>321085910
>it just felt it had changed a lot in order to pander to the lowest common denominator.
Oh god this! There is a reason why casual garbage reviewers loved this game, it basically panders towards low skilled retards.
