Have you recovered yet, /v/?
>>341571609
No, the phantom pain haunts me forever
the game was bad, but her portrayal of Quiet eases the pain
>>341571761
Much better but it still remains
>>341571953
Her not being my gf increases the pain 2bh
>>341571609
from what? I was spoiled and I've spent roughly 60hours on the game and I'm 30% done.
>>341571609
In the end it was disappointing, but I got quite a bit of fun out of my playthrough. Good enough that I was able to forget about it and move on.
>>341572046
Sounds like something that'll give you dat phantom pain down syndrome

Who could recover from the disappointment of that fucking nothing ending
>>341572359
>>No bosses that takes advantage of the open world
This pissed me off the most. I was was expecting the Quiet boss fight to not be a mission but rather something that happens dynamically as you travel Afghanistan. You might not even beat her the first time, instead opting to run and only getting her on a lucky run later on.
Instead they did some stupid arena shit that The End did a thousand times better back in 2004.

>>341571609
>Have you recovered yet, /v/?
I mean it was really fun but not life-changingly awesome so it's not like i had to shelve every other game and "recover"
Just go read Berserk.
The trailers were outright inspired by it.
I didn't care much for the story because it ended with 4 and didn't bring anything new and cool to the table.
Shit story? Yeah sure, shit game? Nuh, my favorite game of that year by far.
The gameplay was decent, but I wanted Metal Gear Solid 5 and I didn't get that. I quit after rescuing Huey because nothing was ever happening in the game.
Seeing some of the new games shown at E3 helps with the "recovery" if you want to call it that. Zelda looks like a lot of fun.
>>341574931
Recovering from disappointment, my friend.
>>341575147
jesus man just finish the game
>>341575214
No it's fucking boring
>>341575193
maybe you're just projecting?
Is it worth getting on upcoming steam summer sale? The only metal gear I played is mgr.
>>341575760
yes, it's a really good game but just disappointing for fans that wanted more and hyped up themselves (me included)
amazing game, amazing story. play thorugh the game twice and still doing sideops.
>>341574742
it would've been fucking glorious
What the fuck is the deal with Battle Gear?
>>341576169
It was gonna be a vehicle you could call in during gameplay, but it got cut for being op+too much work.
>>341571609
No, I loved the game. This wasn't my first Kojima rodeo; I've been playing Metal Gear since the early 90s. I knew the trailers were going to be deceptive and once the rumors of Konami and Kojima having a falling out started up I figured the game would show the scars of it. It was still a fantastic game and far better than 4 and Peace Walker. Honestly my only disappointment with it was knowing that it's definitely the last one. Not having any hope of a proper follow up, knowing one of my favorite franchises is now finished after 25+ years is a bitter pill to swallow.
>>341571609
STANDING
>>341576169
It was suppose to be usable for free roaming, but was scrapped because it was too overpowered(despite plenty of other option later in the game). However, because they didn't want to throw away good cutscenes, its only available on a mini-game where you deploy your men, but its a little icon and not very exciting.
Fucking hated how they took me out of the mission area just to see cutscenes about it. Fultoning is a fucking chore and I wanted to do it after the missions.
More like phantom-blood.jpg. What's with the pose he's making?
>>341571609
No
Fuck this game
>>341576571
Venom is chuuni as fuck.
i really enjoyed it. will probably play it again in a few months.
>>341576424
>franchise
>finished
>pic related
For real,it was good, maybe great, but it could have been a masterpiece.
>>341576948
Thinking about redownloading it now and only playing the necessary missions, should i do it /v/?
>>341576571
>>341571990
>Venom Snake literally picks up the gun and finishes Skullface.
>Not unlockable afterwards.
Shit sucks.
And why did they introduce Snatchers in Ground Zeroes?
>>341577007
Yeah, that part definitely stings. I loved it and it was my GOTY last year, but it could have been the game of the generation and possibly even the best in the series if all of the potential was tapped. Oh well. Just like Silent Hills, a completed and perfected MGSV was too good a thing to happen in this world.
>>341571609
I would have if Kojimbo said 'kept you waiting, huh?'
Fucking Cojima
>>341577196
Fan service to pad out what was basically a glorified demo? Same with the Deja Vu mission. They probably never intended to make those missions until Konami forced GZ to be a separate product, and KojiPro had to scramble to come up with some extra content quickly.
>mfw ground zeroes is a better game than phantom pain
I'm fine, I actually liked MGSV.I don't think I'll ever recover from Mass Effect 3 though so I know how you feel.
>>341577523
This meme is stale as fuck.
>>341577749
but it's true
I've been considering buying this game, but i've only ever played the first one on the playstation 1.
Now that i have a playstation 4 i wanted to give this one a go but i guess there is to much of a gap in the storyline for me, since the games aren't in chronological order etc.
I will never not be mad at this.
>>341577749
>>341577523
for what it's worth, gz is a better game.
>>341577848
Ground Zeroes is The Phantom Pain but with wonkier AI and far less content. And don't you even try to claim the level design was better. Camp Omega had so much dead space and had shit enemy placement it was pathetic. The bases (the dozen or so bases, NOT the generic outposts) in TPP had much tighter designs with better enemy placement and less empty patches. TPP one ups GZ in every conceivable way.
>>341571609
I played it for 200 hours on PS3 and bought it again two weeks ago for my PC. Fight me
>>341577862
if you still have a PS3, grab the legacy collection
>>341577862
You'll be fine, i didnt play any metal gears and still really enjoyed it. The story is REALLY strangely written and nonsensical anyways. Just don't skip the mission intros.
How many hours do you have in V? 91 here
>>341578298
I agree 100%

>>341572359
>everything got spoiled in the trailers, every cutscene that is in the game was already shown
This hurts the most. The only other thing that really upsets me is the cherry-picked Tape Dialogue made to sound more important than it actually was
>Trailer shows Eli
>go on...
>Trailer shows a second Eli
>...GO ON...
>"Les Enfants Terrible, Zero called it"
>CHILD DAVID CONFIRMED, SOLID SNAKE NATURAL BLONDE IS CANON
In reality
>Psycho Mantis reflects as Eli for 2 seconds
>"Les Enfants Terrible" is just snipped from a side-tape that has no bearing on the story and pasted over the trailer
Also, never went nuclear.

457... I've called it quits just the other day, though. I played FOB's for a long time, but it's gotten frustrating how broken the online functionality is. Add the dev team's inability to fix anything, and it just drains the fun from what could have been an amazing post-game multiplayer mode.
>>341572359
>everything got spoiled in the trailers
>he watched the trailer for a story-heavy game
>>341577668
ThisStill gonna play Andromeda because I like the world and lore. I also want to see how much of it they fuck up.
>>341575214
after the honey bee mission the game took a complete nose-dive
>>341579020
I didn't actually watch the trailers before, i watched them after and was completely dumbfounded by why they literally showed everything that happened in the game.
/v/ is the only place I know that will praise MGR even though the story in it is retarded but slam 5 because the of the story, even if the game itself is good.
>>341578840
>"Les Enfants Terrible, Zero called it"
>CHILD DAVID CONFIRMED, SOLID SNAKE NATURAL BLONDE IS CANON
Only idiots thought this, frankly. I think most people figured it was Eli pondering about what his brother is.
But we also knew that Solid Snake didn't know Big Boss until FOXHOUND, and we also knew that he had no idea he had a brother until MGS1. David appearing would have been pretty stupid anyway.
>>341579220
I got more out of MGR's story than V. Atleast it's a complete game
>>341571609
I knew it would be shit after PW and GZ
Got fooled twice, didn't even bother with TPP
>>341579020
No one predicted that Kojima's magnum opus would be short snappy cut scenes rather than 10 hours of exposition and dialogue.
Even the content "spoiled" in the trailers was taken out of context to make it seem more dramatic than it really was. Take the knife-fighting in the rain scene on Mother Base. It promises some sort of intra-staff in-fighting, a split between factions on MB or something deeper. Instead it was literally over in 2 minutes and ended with Ocelot threatening them with toilet cleaning duty. WEW
Also, I never made an effort to keep morale up on Mother Base, but I never unlocked the cutscene of them knife-fighting in the rain anyway, I had to go to youtube for that serving of disappointment.
>>341571609
Have I recovered from the biggest disappointment in video game history? No. No, I haven't.
>>341579271
Ironically, The Phantom Pain reveals that Liquid never knew or met the real Big Boss either.
>Father chose me
Even 17 years after getting cucked in MGS1, Liquid is still getting the raw end of the stick.
>>341579625
Turns out BB in MGS4 was doubly retarded.
WHERE ARE THE BOSS BATTLES?!
>>341578840
>Torture Huey in trailers
>Oh shit, serious shits going down. They aren't fucking around with torture this time.
>Its a comedic scene
>>341580290
FUCKING THIS.
Atleast it had BASED Kaz. Every scene with him was amazing. Literally the only one who drove the game forward
>>341580290
>Mist Skulls
>Armour Skulls
>Sniper Skulls
>Quiet
>Man on Fire
>Metal Gear Sahelanthropus
6 bosses. 6 shit bosses, granted. But bosses.
I mean, how much did MGS1 have?
>Ocelot
>Raven (tank)
>Gray Fox
>Mantis
>Sniper Wolf (x2)
>Hind D
>Raven (Minigun)
>Metal Gear REX
>Liquid Snake (fistfight)
That's 9 unique and memorable boss fights.
MGSV has boss fights. They're just... shit.
>>341579220
MGR's story is the good kind of retarded. Over the top, silly, cheesy, campy.
MSV's story is a complete mess, doesn't deliver on what the trailers promised, and generally feels incomplete/empty. When fucking Rising does a better job at delivering a complete package in terms of themes and character arcs, you know you've fucked up.
>>341580724
The only bosses are Quiet and Sahelanthropus
>>341580783
>The only close-to-fun bosses are Quiet and Sahelanthropus
fixed. Don't be weird about the other fights not being boss battles.
>>341580493
>Kill the kids!
>I guess our client just got out bet
>non of the kids can die or the mission is over.
Kaz is so two faced.
>>341581118
That's why i love him, he's the only one with any kind of character in the game.
Kaz is the only good thing that has come out of PW and PH. This is true
>>341581118
>>341581685
He was just pretending to be ok with the deal though. Nobody is allowed to be immoral or interesting in this game at all, hell even Ocelot can't do anything that fucked up beyond letting a hospital burn.
>>341571609
Yeah I just played MGS1 and MGS2 again.
>>341582152
Why wasn't ocelot a buddy in the game?
>>341571609
I went through the seven stages of grief.
>>341571609
i want to forget about it, but you faggots always come up with these shit threads
>>341582245
He was supposed to be until Kojima decided he was too OP
>you will never get Ocelot tagging along on the battlefield or as a radio contact with an actual personality
The real phantom pain
>>341582245
Shit, he wasn't even in the game outside of a couple of controlled cut-scenes
One of the first reveals of Mother Base, Ocelot is on-base and gives you the "pretty good" wave, but they even removed that for some reason.
>>341582858
Serious? Now i'm fucking mad
I'm actually playing this garbage right now. Pretty much everything I have been told about it is 100% correct. It feels like playing Far Cry 2 or 3 in third person mode with an occasional story element and a base which keeps beeping at you in the background.
That duel with Quiet though, goddamn that was infuriating. How do you go from the masterpiece which was The End to that fucking garbage?
I liked it
>>341583353
I beat her in 10 minutes, what's the problem? Use the scope's d-mic to find her and outmaneuver her using patience and planning.
the opening is literally the best part of the game, it's all downhill after that
>>341584830
mostly because they give you d-dog and tranq sniper
takes all the danger away
>>341579220
MGR, despite being 1/10th the length, still managed to have a more complete and fulfilling story than MGSV
>>341571609
Nah, the shock of it being a wolf will stay with me 5-evr.
I liked the game but it was really disapointing and it was a fucking kick in the balls no matter how you see it.
>Motherbase and maps lifeless. Animals and plants are almost insignificant. Same with the soldiers and enemies.
>Motherbase is a chore more than something actually entertaining
>Plot that was supposed to rely on teammates, vengeance, and soldiers of your motherbase do almost nothing with them

>Almost every fucking bit of trailer that was promising got butchered and converted on predictable shit.
>The fucking final twist was butchered too even before we knew the releasing date
>You have to play the same WALKING SIMULATOR MISSION twice and that´s what they call an ending.

>Every returning character was shit except Huey and maybe Kaz. Because they had to respect the rest of the games, the Huey incident ends up don´t making sense, for a change.
>Quiet. Everything about her is shit and the game is more focused on her than in everything else. Her romance with BB is forced as fuck and the game commands you to make a relationship with her to get the shitty ending. Shit character poorly handled. Nobody pulls the trigger on her.
>Some features where cut from fucking GZ.
The more you think about the plot on the MGS games the more shit it is. If you want to play the games, just play them and move on.

>>341588503
wake me up inside
nah, the game is great
>>341588503

I hope Konami goes bankrupt for what they did
I'm sure Kojima just needed a year tops, maybe two quarters delayed if he really want to work his team over
We could have had a literal masterpiece if those greedy jews didn't cut the cord early
why was kojima even thinking of doing Silent Hill if he failed to complete the magnum opus of his most memorable series?
>>341571609
It won't stop hurting...
It was like getting a pizza without cheese or sauce.
>>341590875
It was like seeing the greatest pizza you have ever seen on the menu, all the toppings you would have ever wanted. You happily order it and can't wait to eat it. Then when you get it you find out that most of the ingredients has expired and that they only look good, the pizza was also taken out of the oven early and the crust is still doughy, and in the middle of the pizza in big red tomato sauce letters
