Peace Walker was a fucking PSP game. Yet it still managed to have all the trademark Metal Gear elements from boss fights to torture scenes and even the infamous "Metal Gear!?" quote along with extensive dialogue and a fleshed out story that advanced the overall plot. All things that TPP lacked. PW was a great bridge between MGS3 and MG1 storywise. The whole premise of TPP is convoluted answers to questions that nobody fucking asked or cared about.
And the gameplay wasn't even that good. It removed a bunch of shit from MGS4 and open-world was a detriment to the game in every way.

To be honest if I passed Kojima on the street is probably kill him then and there out of pity. His games get worse and worse, expectations get higher and higher, his wife won't even speak to him and the tide of public opinion is rapidly turning on him.

Those two are fun bosses that can be cheezed, you fucking dumbass

arguing that quiet is a shit boss because you could drop a supply drop on her pre-patch is just as shit as arguing that The End is bad because you can win without doing a single bit of gameplay

MGS V honestly is better than 99% of the drivel that shooters are nowadays, it had a unique system, with a good story and pretty interesting boss situations

It just doesn't have 1 hr cutscenes about some autistic patriot system so all the solid snakeniggers are triggered and hate it

Expectations weren't as high for PW, partly because it came out only a couple years after MGS4 and there simply wasn't enough time for the hype to build that much, but also because it was "only" (a shitty excuse, really) a PSP game.

But Peace Walker also had a lot more variety and personality, and it was generally better-paced and had a less irritating structure. I think MGSV is the better game simply because sneaking isn't quite so broken, but I can understand why someone might prefer PW. Especially if they were fond of co-op.

I think MGS4 is worse than MGSV in nearly every respect.

I won't disagree. All V had to do was take the first two acts of 4 and expand on them. If it was just like... 10-20 maps of that same quality, I would have been thrilled.

Instead they screwed the pooch. They held that poor pooch down and reamed its asshole raw.

Could I play V without playing any other of the games and still enjoy it?
>>
I think the thing no one understands is there was nothing V could've added to the story.

3 was already more than enough to explain Big Boss falling into evil. He saw soldiers being used as a tool so he wanted to find a perfect life for them.

Peace Walker explains him getting the army and has him rejecting The Boss, and embracing the usage of nuclear weaponry.
That's it. That's the end of Big Boss character. There was nothing more about him you could've learned.

V instead opted to be about the players legacy, which was a good choice, but Kojima should have learned from Raiden that making players think more about a story than MUH BOSS SO BADASS XD will result in them crying for 10 years.

Venom Snake is a more compelling protagonist than Big Boss btw.
>>
>>343993341
Absolutely. It plays nothing like any of the other ones, and is fairly disconnected from the rest of the games, although the ending is some metatextual shit that makes more sense if you've played the franchise for years.
>>
>>343993341
You would honestly probably enjoy it more without all the baggage.
In that case though its just a really good 7/10
>>
I love that the three most common complaints about Metal Gear was that the plots were convoluted, it was hard to play one on its own, and that there were too many cutscenes

V gets rid of all of that and improved the quality of the gameplay and voice acting so it's the worst in the franchise

no it doesn't. GZ does a perfect job of explaining whats happening.

I'm a fan of this series that has played all the games over so many times, from MG 1 to 4.

I haven't played peace walker, and i never will. and I understood what was happening perfectly.
>>
>>343994460
the motherbase stuff was just a bad decision in both games, all of that stuff should have just been left to cutscenes.

There's no way to do that kind of stuff without either giving it all away at once, and making it pointless, or making it an unlockable call of duty phone game grind, which is just as bad.

I sort've agree, but I don't think venom should have been an insert for the player. I think venom should have been a fleshed out character that suffers with big bosses memories and his own actual memories of who he was prior to waking up in V.

Make the game about the horror of warfare when it's not you working for an organization that's "good", similar to what raiden was, but different. Go more in depth with the personality disassociation, make things seem like theyre real when we find out later they aren't, make venom struggle with his own identity and being big boss the whole time. I think these are themes that were in V but were super shallow, the farthest it goes is with paz's tapes, which imo is one of the best parts of the game.

Not only would players have come to appreciate venom, but they'd get to first hand witness what big bosses decisions to save himself actually mean to someone other than himself, when youre on the other side of it.

>>
>>343996869
This is what I thought the game was gonna be about, and like you said it's implied, but Kojima isn't a good enough writer to pull it off, that type of story takes subtlety. Visually he could convey all of this, but I don't think he could check his ego and let someone else write that for him.

I'm not disappointed because of the lack of head canon pandering we didn't get, I thought we were gonna get a melancholic, PTSD, split personality mgs with lots of fucked up visuals and the possibility of venom being the device to convey that big boss is a warmongering piece of shit from a fresh perspective, but unfortunately, I don't think Kojima has the humility to ever tarnish his characters like that. So instead he opted for some pseudo vague on the fence "guess it's up to you to decide ;^)" ending while hammering home all the details and killing his own story's mystery.

Yeah, the thought of this being what the game was actually about saddens more more than the idea of getting big boss to become anakin skywalker.

I was fully ready for a darker MGS, even all the lighting effects make it seem like something is wrong with venom, I assumed that's why those were put in there. and like >>343997643
said. These things are NEVER touched on again, why does venom's rage manifest itself via moby dick hallucinations? does it have something to do with his own personality? why doesn't it ever happen again? Why does venom randomly see skullface standing amongst his soldiers as if he was really there?

at this point i'm just ranting and frustrating myself with would be's.

It's nice to know there's other mgs fans that wanted a better game than BIG BOSS NUCLEAR SKYWALKER though.

Peacewalker fucking blows.

MGS5 is an amazing game. The gameplay in it is probably as close to perfect as I think any game in this genre is ever going to get.

The only reason to shit on it is because the mission structure gets repetitive, there isn't a strong narrative, and fulton is stupid and trivializes gameplay. The GMP and Mother base systems also largely exist for no real reason and it never works well. You just call down supply drops constantly whenever you need a new suppressor and you never get spotted. Skullface and the Skulls with the Man on Fire are far too underdeveloped as villains. It often feels like you're just doing odd jobs for petty cash instead of going after a villain in typical metal gear fashion

The more I think about it, I kind of like the Venom reveal. I don't think it was good, but I like that it was foreshadowed a lot.

It just sucks it wasn't finished.
>>
>>344005116
It was your first MGS wasn't it
>>
>>343993291

The thing is, Sniper Wolf was a perfect fit.

She could've filled the role of quiet as your firesupport, but instead Kojima wanted to have more VOCAL CHORD PARASITES.

Your interactions with Eli are fucking stupid and full of holes.

I also expected to be building Outer Heaven and not Mother Base.

It's just full of what I can only assume are intentional missed opportunities.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Big Boss used child soldiers. It's in the canon. So when you have him rescuing child soldiers from lives of being soldiers it's incredibly hypocritical.
>>
>>344005437

This actually. When I did that sneaking section in act 5 I was thinking "finally, a chance for the game to show off proper stealth"
Then it ended in under 3 minutes and I was forced to walk through about a hundred corridors.
>>
>>344005867
Because there really is no narrative to MGS5.

The -only- thing that has any relevance that's even done remotely well is "The Truth" ending.

That's it.

Everything else is useless fluff that adds nothing to the canon.

Which is whats dissapointing.

I'm not saying its fanservice, it was stuff that was established in the previous games. Sniper Wolf had contact with big boss and refers to him as Saladin and having saved her. She's Kurdish, which while a stretch to Afghanistan, is based around the middle east.

Perfect fit. Timeline fit. Setting fit.

The only reason she's not is probably that Kojima just forgot about her.

Thats probably it. So we got Quiet, who was useless in terms of story, and mostly just the exact same fanservice you're bitching about, just another kind.

Eli/Mantis in conjunction with Sahelanthropus is probably the single most retarded thing I've seen in a video game and really any media. It detracts from the experience but not enough to make MGS5 anything less than an 8.

play 4 first, PW kinda assumes you know the big twist of mgs4.

Some of you couldn't make a balanced idea about something to save your life. Always with the extremes.

Both Peace Walker and V have their glaring flaws, but that doesn't make them bad games.
Flawed games sure, but not bad. No game is perfect.

>Wanted a game of Big Boss in Outer Heaven

>Final mission of the game would have had you playing as a young Solid Snake, infiltrating Outer Heavem at the command of 'Fox Hound'
>Game ends on a boss battle between Snake (you) and Big Boss, mirroring the battle between The Boss and Naked Snake in MGS 3
>Big Boss makes Snake choose between loyalty to his father or loyalty to his organisation and his mission
>Bonus fanservice is Snake being voice by Hayter

Instead we got an angry Hungarian linguistic-nationalist who wanted to destroy the English language because of Russian and German imperialism destroying his country.

The fanbase wanted Metal Gear and we got some bastardised /int/ wet dream.

It's been a while but wasn't he "normal" smug bastard in MGS? Phantom Meme made him into some vegetable god-child responding to strong emotions of others.
How is it well handled? Might as well have been a completely new character.

there is no reason for 5 pp to exist. its not even 5 pp its another prequel. 4 is still the last installment of the official story since 5 rr wasnt made by konami

since 5 isnt the end it has to add to a already convoluted segment of the story. ocelot has a stupid role for the sake of fooling the ai's. not the high point of the series

peace walker builds on 3 which is one of the most loved in the series. explaining more about who the woman who trained big boss was and the transition to hes considered a bad guy. pw is basically fanfare for 3 fans
>>
>>344005208
Peacewalker is MGS5. We're talking about MGSV
>>
>>343974269
PW still ranks around the bottom of popularity polls, people just appreciate it more after MGSV being such a letdown. The problem is that MGSV took all the negative aspects of PW like shit bosses and grinding, then stripped all the things PW did well like interesting tapes and focus on characters. I don't think PW has a great cast or story either, and MGSV has great gameplay, but one is much closer to a metal gear game than the other.
>>
Peace Walker was total shit.
Dumbed down AI
Dumbed down sneaking
Shitty repetitive bosses
More repeating missions than V and more reused areas.

All of this gets handwaved because its a handheld game but the fact is if a shitty 333mhz CPU couldn't handle a Metal Gear game, they shouldn't have made one for it.

>I prefer bulletsponges than fucking gimmicks

I'm sorry but you are fucking retarded. MGS always had gimmicky bosses and I'm not defending gimmicky bosses in general, they were just so well done.

This bickering reminds me of Yorm the Giant and Ancient Wyvern from Dark Souls 3. Literally all the bitching were from people who played the game with a guide. Especially Ancient Wyvern was challenging as hell to actually find the spot to jump.

Quiet is like The End, only better. Sniper Parasite Unit on Hardcore is one of the toughest and most balanced bosses ever. Sahalanthropus is the best Metal Gear boss in the whole franchise.

>MGSV was my 1st Metal Gear. I just think it stunk regardless of it's history.

How. I'm seriously interested. It's possibly the BEST stealth game I have ever played.

If any MG game is your favorite stealth game the chances are overwhelming that you're under 18.

>If any MG game is your favorite stealth game the chances are overwhelming that you're under 18.

oh please. In a thread full of bullshit one liners I actually make a couple of points and I'm under 18 ?

Fags who are upset about gimmicky bosses are fags who played the games with a guide. This goes for Dark Souls as well. Because the bosses were very smartly designed. That said V mechanically is pretty much the best stealth game ever made. Not even a question. Naked missions are the best experience I have ever had since playing the first Thief in 98.

They were punching bags that took so much damage it was obvious it was made for co-op.
They weren't bosses, just targets to shoot at.

Precisely another reason to hate PW.
Not to mention that, even though Hayter is absolutely horrible VA with has no range, he was specially awful in PW.

>>344010152

yep. that's one of the worse things to do in any franchise. take a character that's been done with and fuck with them again. it takes away all the drama and the closure etc etc.
How Snake reacts to the water boiler Boss was probably the lowest point of Metal Gear. Not as bad as bringing Cortana back but still.
>>
>>344010521
That's one of the things I liked from MGSV and that made me dissapointed that Venom wasn't Big Boss, he saw the pod, and he didn't give a single fuck, I thought he was over it, or at least, as ''over it'' as Big Boss can be over The Boss, but no, if Venom was the real one, he would have probably started crying or something.
>>
>>344010152
Yeah i have to agree. I just started peace walker for the first time today, david hayter is noticeably bad in this.

I can see why he was replaced for 5. Some of his lines are cringeworthy with his delivery.

Time to lay off the phantom cigar, bruv. Peace Walker is almost universally REVILED. Only a small group of enlightened patricians understand its beaty.

>>344010673
The problem was he tried too hard at making a rough voice, it feels like he's always going to break into a fit of cough, but never happens.
Then when he's actually supposed to cough, it feels like he's going to puke.

>>344010616

I actually enjoyed that scene a lot. I thought it was cool as fuck and had a very frankenstein feel to it. Venom surely remembers what it is, but he has no emotional attachment to it.

>>344010760
yeah, he sounded like a mixture between old snake without the exhaustion in his voice that snake had in 4, and mgs 3, but bad.

I'm having a good time with the game because it's new and i'm that big of an mgs fanboy, but this game is pretty bad, I like the idea of costa rica, but i really wish this was an actual mainline game, and didn't have all this dumb motherbase shit.

Naked Snake shouldn't have given a single fuck either. It was a cringe fest. It would have made sense if he had amnesia but no, let's have snake throw a text book autistic fit because of his sentimental attachment to a thing.

>all these people complaining about vehicle fights and bullet sponge bosses in PW
There are three (3) vehicle bosses in the story missions and they are all piss easy even with the complementary launcher the game gives you for free. If you played the optional EXTRA-ops missions, you have only yourself to blame.
The robot bosses are only sponges if you were too dumb to research even one alternative/higher level launcher.

People who didn't play the game but want to parrot memes, I swear.

>Because there really is no narrative to MGS5.
sure there is, you're just whining because there wasn't enough fanservice

No it wasn't. There's literally no stealth to the game. You can't even crawl. It's a Facebook mini game.

MGS4 was the last real MGS
MGS2 was the last pure MGS

Nope.
At least V was fun.
4 was a disgrace where every single second of all the cutscenes was specifically designed to destroy the entire franchise.

It's by far, the worst ending to a franchise i've ever seen, and a legitimately bad and boring game.
