For the absolute final game in a series that is by definition meant to be a thought provoking but linear series? The game that falsely advertised worse than fucking Mass Effect 3 and tried to hide that they'd cut out a third of the story? The game with the 90% desert that gave you the same goddamn infiltration missions over and over again because Kojijew fell for the open world meme and realized halfway through that there was no point to it?

Yes anon, it was that bad. It was really, really, really that bad.

Playing it now. /v/ saying it sucks is just /v/ being edgelords once again. Game is excellent though i can see where maybe some people say its unfinished.

I would like to have more areas than just afghan and africa.

animals could have been cool. but theres no variety, its like 4 rodents, 7 snakes/lizards, 2 tortoises, 2 bears, 5 goats, 8 birds. and most are just capture cage things. in africa why not have elephants, hippos, lions, giraffes (i could have sworn i saw a giraffe in a trailer once getting fultoned)

here and there there could have been things added. needs more base colors, more colors for the weapons/vehicles

the development/deployment times are sleazy

after finally completing my long backlog of books and going hardcore /lit/ i can finally say with authority people like you have your head up your ass. unless you are reading actual philosophy by actual philosophers like wittgenstein, schopenhauer, etc, then the stories of typical novels are not going to make you think any more than a story of similar quality in other media, nor are the stories all that much more interesting.

But Kojima is not a good writer. His characters don't act like actual people, his dialog is completely unrealistic and filled with parrotspeak, and like many people involved in the videogame industry, he has a child's understanding of narrative complexity.

The only reason people are so attached to The Boss's death in MGS3 is because they played it and thus they had a hand in it. If it was just a movie where you're just an audience watching it happen, it would not get nearly as many reactions of "this is the saddest thing ever". It is emotional manipulation through association, like how people give more of a shit that someone's hurt because it's a relative.

>>336856116
Big Boss being silent the whole time was dumb

Silent performances only work if the person involved is very expressive or if the director wants to really emphasize the few things they do say, Big Boss just has this autistic blank look on his face whenever something happens, like when Quiet is getting tortured

And yes I get it hurr he's silent because you're big boss! but that was a dumb twist that was basically just a rehash of MGS2's twist where raiden was supposed to be the player
>>
literally the only problem was that they said it was the 5th metal gear solid game, when it's actually a fully realized version of Peacewalker.

If they marketed the game as a spinoff that focuses on short repeatable missions and all the basebuilding/upgrading mechanics, then people would not have been disappointed.

It's a phenomenal game. It just wasn't the 10 linear narrative experience people wanted

I never said he was or that mgs is a game with good story.
But now that you bring it up, I would say its no less of a clusterfuck than faust part 2.

MGS, DBZ, Kingdom Hearts. Look, Japanese people love surprises so theyre just keep tacking on random shit all the time. They don't make for good storytellers or much of anything other than laborsheep.

That said, no, the dialogue and speaking of characters in mgs is pretty damn good so youre completely wrong there.


Tell me oh wise one, what is in your eyes narrative complexity? show me an example

>The only reason people are so attached to The Boss's death in MGS3 is because they played it and thus they had a hand in it.

You use your respective media. In movies you show things happening instead of explaing it. In games you can involve player interaction to get things across. Words are just tools in the same way that movie visuals or game input are tools to communicate feeling. Once you get over this "books are the bestest ever none of this new mumbojumbo will ever compare" and understand their differences you can see that books and their words and their descriptions of things only work to do achieve the same end. Many of which written before other options existed.
>in a movie it would not happen as much an impact
If done properly using the strengths of film it could.

Comparing books to games or movies is literally comparing apples to oranges. They function differently but achieve the same goal.

Your argument is like if I said to you "books are shit because there is no visuals and just really long explanations of people clothes and the room they are in"

No but you said the series is "thought-provoking", which it never was. Unless the stuff he writes legitimately impresses you.

How? They're so expository when the medium allows them to tell, Snake constantly repeats back what is said to him, and characters talk as though there is actively an audience to speak to, which outside of theater you're not supposed to do.

>thatsthepoint.jpg

And it's emotional manipulation. It shows that the story itself isn't powerful enough to create that reaction on its own, but if YOU'RE part of that story then you feel for them. Interaction should compliment the story's strength in emotional scenes, it shouldn't rely on them.

Dialogue and plotting--especially from game to game-- were never the strong point. But, on a thematic level, the subcutaneous stuff, I think Kojima can be an effective storyteller. The way the thematic ideas interweave and complement the sneaking scenarios was frequently pretty well-done, if also heavy-handed. Well-done "for video games" maybe, but nonetheless set Metal Gear apart from its contemporaries.

I disagree, he doesn't actually understand what it's like to be a soldier and yet he writes the whole series around what it's like to be one.

"Being a soldier" isn't really, despite its apparent significance, really the central idea of Metal Gear though. It's mostly just the lens through which the series chooses to highlight various things. Whether it be existentialism, influence and legacy, the significance of the digital age etc. with an amti-war emphasis. You might be right, but that's really only a fraction of what it's about. Kojima deals in pretty broad strokes when tackling subjects like nationalism and duty etc. anyway.

I liked it a lot, but i seriously think that Konami should've gone full episodic with the game.
If TPP would've ended on the Sahelanthropus fight, there would've been more time for developing a real ending and not just repeating missions like in chapter 2.
>B-B-B-BUT EPISODIC IS BAD!!!!!!11!!
Come on, you already bought Ground Zeroes and TPP, you would've bought a third chapter.
You would buy the third chapter right fucking now if you could.

Would have been cool if Kojima had the balls to let you choose the gender of the Medic though, and have it so female medic got a sex change. Though forcibly changing someones sex would probably be too fucked up in a story.

Since when are publication awards and reviews meant to be impressive? It's worth noting that as far as I remember, W3 only barely beat the record set by TLOU. Which was middling at best, for reference.

Okay. Who would win between Iron Man and a nuclear-equipped Metal Gear REX?

It's the first MGS game I just put down eventually and didn't want to pick back up again. Everything about it is just boring and repetitve and there's no story. I don't care enough to infiltrate some random base where every enemy acts the exact same to do the same missions anymore. And the open world is boring as fuck.
>>
>>336865518
>all this applies to mgs2

huh.
>>
>>336856116
It wasn't bad at all. Maybe story was cut in the middle, not exactly great and plain bad in MGS standards, but gameplay was so infinitely awesome it makes up for it.

I don't regret buying it.
>>
>>336866407
in this case, you do need to finish the game before you talk about it

protip: the game is unfinished and everything falls apart in the second half

It was a good game, even with the cut content.

Here's the thing, games often have content cut for all sorts of reasons, games like Deus Ex or Fallout 2 were originally larger in scope but for different reasons certain ideas never make it to the final game (Although there's often cases where a fan patch restores most of it, like in the two games I mentioned).

In this case the reason things got cut or left unfinished was because of the fallout between Konami and Kojima Studios. Though I agree that what we saw in the "Phantom Episode" video would have made for a more fitting climax than what we got in the final product.

Now if there's one thing I didn't like about the game, it was that 90% of the story was contained within audio tapes ala System Shock rather than a mix of cutscenes and codec calls, and certain questions left without answer thanks to the fact that this is the last game in the series.

Felt like a long Ground Zeroes spinoff, GZ was better than the whole MGS5 game, sad.
>>
>>336856116
It should have never been open world, just large, open ended missions like GZ.
Failing that, they should have ditched africa and only had afghanistan.
>>
>>336874354
It was a bunch of GZ styled missions just with empty wilderness connecting them so you wouldn't have to ride the helicopter into them.
It needed more varied scenery, not less. Afghanistan was a bitch to navigate around.

Ignoring the fact that, because it's a sandbox, the gameplay siffered tremendiously

Ignoring the fact that the entirety of the game takes place outdoors

Ignoring the fact that Peace Walker, a fucking PSP game, has more content and variety

Ignoring the fact that the game hardly has ANY cutscenes or dialog

Ignoring ALL THAT, the game is still LITTERALLY UNFINISHED.

IT'S MISSING IT'S CLIMAX

IT'S MISSING IT'S ENDING

IT'S AN AUTOMATIC 0/10 BECAUSE OF THIS

YOU DENSE FUCKS

And I say this as the biggest fucking Metal Gear fan. One how owns a $500 REX replica, and has beaten every canon game, including both MSX titles, Portable Ops, and Peace Walker, ALL with Non-Lethal means when possible.

FUCK any of you who thinks this game was even okay. Just, fuck you.

Your opinion is worthless. You're one of those retards who treats a stealth game like a fucking TPS, which means you are fucking stupid. You do not have the proper mental capacity to claim a game is neither good nor bad. You're just too stupid.

You beat Sahelanthropus and Skullface gets killed. That's the climax and ending. Chapter 2 is post-game content

The climax was the cut Lord of the Flies mission.

You never beat Sahelanthropus because it got fucking stolen and is still operational.

The mission you described did not bring a resolve to the story. It did fucking nothing.

The game is unfinished. Stop being a dumb shit-gobbling casual fuck and open your fucking eyes.

A young Liquid Snake steals a fucking Metal Gear and has an army of african children

Huey builds you a big fucking "Battle Gear" robot that you never see and never use (outside of a shitty facebook game) despite being an obviously intended plot point

NONE of these things get resolved, and then the game ends.

Also, you were a random medic and you go on to be a decoy Big Boss that you fought in MG1 because reasons.

>>336875756
This is true desu.

>>336875305
The climax was the awkward car ride with Skull Face and the subsequent fight. Mission 51's exclusion is awkward, given that it makes Eli's inclusion in the game utterly pointless, but that's the least of the game's worries.
>>
>>336876451

A resolve goes downward, not upward, you fucking mouth breathing retard.

If the fucking climax was reached, it WOULDN'T FUCKING BUILD UP TOWARDS A CLIMAX, OPENING UP NEW CONFLICTS AND PLOT POINTS

It was ok, but I hated the second part where you had to repeat all the missions in hard mode, instead of having new missions.
Also the fact that they teased us with what would have been the mission 51, and to know that we will never see it, it's kind of a dick move.
>>
The first two weeks after this came out was honestly the most fun I've ever had playing a video game ever. The pacing and lack of story at the end are a real fucking bummer, but holy shit was it fun.
>>
>>336876716
Would you call "The Scouring of the Shire" from The Lord of the Rings the climax? It's falling action. Just some last minute resolution to keep the reader interested.
Skull Face was the turning point that the story of V was leading up to. It's the climax.

also, why do you write like an autist?
>>
Very enjoyable, but very disappointing game that showcases everything Kojima does wrong with his writing.

I think the level design is the biggest problem. It carries most of MGS3's problems but also exacerbated by the "open world" system and bland repetition.

Oilfield was solid, though.

The entire context of the hospital scene was so great, too. Perfect for a more dynamic sneaking sequence. Imagine if it effectively played like an older MG in Caution Mode or something. Great concept wasted on a glorified tutorial.
