Anyone still playing Phantom Pain? I just came back to it, haven't played it since the week after MGO came out. Had shitloads of MB coins, PF points, and challenge rewards to accept, kinda renewed my interest in it.
>>344231448
nah, haven't touched it since the insurance shit came out. My base's prolly raided to death, but I really don't care.
>>344232258
I think your FOBs are taken out of the rotation if you haven't done FOB in a while. I expected mine to be all fucked up too and it hasn't been invaded since October.
>>344231448
There's nothing to do yet I cannot let go. Several times a day I log in for the daily bonus and mined resources. I can't find a team of more than 3 people on MGO. 2700 MB coins and nothing to spend.
>>344233153
Man, is MGO really that dead? What are you playing on?
>>344231448
Is playing with M+KB cheating
I still go on for a few missions or wandering around every once in a while. Even at 100% completion, I think the gameplay alone has more than enough potential for a few hours of fun.
So many people have a lack of imagination, they are given more tools and equipment to conduct operations than most games could only dream of, yet they still complain that MGSV has a lack of content and fun.
>>344231448
I like how they ported over Ocelot's revolver from MGO.
All they need to do now is port over Quiet and I'd sink a lot more time in TPP.
In the few matches I played as Quiet in MGO, I had a lot of fun.
>>344233693
PC/Stream. I see 15/16 players for Bounty Hunter and absolutely 0 players for all other game modes. If you are lucky and manage to find another game mode it will be you versus 5 other players.
played it the other day. fucked around invading outposts, shooting goats, and messing around with guards. After that, grinded some FOBs to get my GMP up, and unlocked the new camos, which they still add very often. Really like that it's so easy to get them.
>>344234203
I want that knife. The tornado is fun to use.
>>344231448
Not for a while, if Konami were ever smart enough to release a player-made mission editor, or at least monthly mission packs for the Open World, I'd jump on that shit immediately.
This game is literally screaming for more missions. I don't even care about the story or MGO anymore, just put some more missions in!
>>344234103
The variety of weapons and equipment is good, but the actual missions, side ops, and FOB infiltrations are pretty bland. With FOB if you've done one high ranked one you've basically done them all, same for side ops. Side ops wouldn't even be so bad if you didn't have to go back to the ACC for new ones. Right now for me it's like
>deploy in Africa
>complete extraction side op
>travel to the other side of Africa
>complete tank side op
>go back to acc
>unlock another extraction and tank op
Started logging on and did some FOB events. It was fun but I feel like it would get boring quickly again. Any of the new weapons notable or are they just lol 10% more damage or some shit?
>>344235152
That would be beautiful. instead we get weapons that we'll never unlock and that are to expensive to bother deploying with.
>>344234418
PC was dead on arrival due to cheating, no one has an xbox anymore, ps4 has a couple hundred people left last time I checked
Damn shame they didn't know how to balance shit and there's only a few maps, really killed what chance the game had
Still play it but mostly just the single player. I also like the FOB events since they're basically single player missions with no chance of retaliation, and I'm a sucker for the cosmetic rewards. FOB raiding and MGO never really caught my attention
>tfw 100% the game and got all 42 achievements but still feel empty
>>344231448
Nope. Complete fuck up they didn't add some sort of co-op element to the game. Really wanted to do some missions with a friend or two.I'd need the friends first but that's beside the point.
>complete FOB event multiple times
>decide to cash in some points
>0 event points
T-thanks Konami.
>>344235152
I wish. More missions with dialogue and maybe some new boss fights. Hell, I'd pay for that.
>>344235230
WU. Pistol Cb and +SB are cool tranqs. The first can be attached under barrel and is silenced, the second is a one shot KO to any part of the body. The Tornado, Ocelot's gun, is awesome. the bullets ricochet. the AM a114, a tranq gas gun, is kind of cool. knocks out armored guys with body shots. the jehuty upgrade is great with range. the most recent ones require a ton of grinding, haven't bothered.
Post your MGO agent.
>>344231448
I've never played a metal gear game before this one. I had a lot of fun playing it, I thought the cutscenes were super cool and so were the villians and allys. I love stealth games and I love free roam (maybe more sandbox?) games so this one was perfect for me. The intro level with big boss in the hospital and Ishmael hooked me and I was getting so into it, it was intense.
>>344235819
I wanted this so bad, co-oping the missions, taking down bases, and traveling the open world with a friend would have amazing.
I boot it up and look for FoBs of people who haven't touched the game recently. And raid them with relative impunity. No subtlety. I just kill everyone and take their cargo. And build nukes.
>Not making your game 2spooky and dark
fags
>>344236623
But thats scary. How did you do it btw?
>>344236708turn shadows past the ingame option
>>344235215
Yeah, side ops are a place where the game definitely feels underdeveloped. We are limited to little more than "Extract/Destroy this target"
Little things such as helping out other Diamond Dogs soldiers in their tasks, capturing convoys, being hired for Mujahideen operations like in Backup, Back down etc. would've been amazing.
The first few missions of the game were Snake, Miller and Ocelot taking on random operations like these, grasping at straws for links to Cipher while using the war economy to grow DD. Would've been perfect if Side Ops were basically these kind of missions, without the overarching plot with XOF/Cipher.
For example, the Honey Bee mission is only Main Ops because the Skulls attack at the end and Calcium Man shows up.

>>344237492
>not being pc
What are you doing man?
Is there some sort glitch when it comes to infiltrating the base development platform of a FOB? Mine's been invaded twice this week, and on both occasions the invader straight up dashed through three struts unimpeded, shooting guards and UAVs down ONLY when the main deck was reached – almost as if the invisibility period one has when arriving on a FOB was extended way beyond its natural span. The first guy took a little over three minutes to reach the core, whereas the second took one and a half. What gives?

I pirated it and dropped after 35 hours, pretty repetitive and boring, managed to be even worse than Peace Walker.
>>344238383
2/2
I play it almost every single day.
Built up 3 FOBs with saved up MB Coins, getting all the camos and new weapons from FOB Events, installed mods such as infinite heaven to give me new things to try out.
All these new upgrades.
Billions of GMP rewards from challenges I never claimed.
All I do is log in once every few days to set a new batch of upgrades going
>>344238480
I think Peace Walker gets way more shit than it deserves. Only part I really dislike is the higher difficulty boss fights since they take millions of years to complete even with the best weapons.
Too bad nobody plays the multiplayer, I've never gotten to try it.
>>344238786
Is there a multiplayer? I've never noticed it on the PS3 HD release
>>344238958
Yup, post game bosses are balanced around it which is why they get shit on.
Is Metal Gear Online on PC dead?
I want to know whose fucking retarded idea it was to force players to replay Cloaked in Silence 7 times to get Quiet back. Fuck it's so boring, 90% of the mission is waiting for the helicopter and listening to Kaz and Ocelot arguing.
I tried, what I came to realize is that the biggest weakness of MGSV's open world is side-op objectives.
The main missions for the most part are great, in general they're unique scenarios that can get dynamic, with side objectives and soldier skills to look out for that enhance replay value. I wish there were more missions like Pitch Dark or Footprints of Phantoms, where you can complete them without interacting with a single soul.
Side-ops... just aren't. Extract the soldier/prisoner. Take out the armored/tank unit. A few times you snatch blueprints. And that's all. I'm probably in the minority where I like most of the level design of the bases but they just don't hold up if I'm doing the same thing across every one, even with guard adaptation, which is a great feature.
>>344238786
i recall beating the hardest gear rex on mother base naked using the k pistol in less than a minute so i'm not sure what you're talking about. maybe this thread is full of a bunch of david hayters.
>>344238958
>>344239092
Besides the co-op, yeah, there's some sort of PVP multiplayer mode. Like I said I haven't gotten to try it but it seems pretty fleshed out.
Anyone interested in trying to get a group together for it? I'm also on PS3.
>>344239095
Just about. You can usually find a few people playing if you choose automatch and random.
>>344239172
You think that's bad, I had to play it way more than 7 times, glitched or something.
>>344239336
Maybe I just don't have the best weapons unlocked then. Still, it takes forever with very high ranked weapons.
>>344231448
Nah. I hated constantly worrying about my FOB so I stopped playing as often. Then I always used Cheat Engine to freeze my resources so I can use whatever I want on the missions, which gets boring setting up every time you reboot the game.
>>344231448
just randomly got back into it, like I havent played video games in like 7 months and then I thought of metal gear for some reason. Now Its been a week and I have 65 hours in it. great game.

To clarify: only the first guy seemed to be an obvious cheater, with 100+ platforms built but only 66 staff. I don't know what to think of the second one, who was pretty high ranked espionage points and PF rank-wise.
>>344234203
I wish they'd just port over all the MGO content to the Singleplayer, there would be so much more gear to deploy with, both for Snake and the DD soldiers.

>>344232258
Don't be fooled. There isn't any new content. You still have to invade the same FOB layout hundreds of times to get those shitty overpriced weapons.
>>344239332
You're not alone. To be honest, if the game was just a series of Ground Zeroes Camp Omega-esque levels strung together with a mini open world for each one, the game would have been so much better. Man, fuck the open world of MGSV, seriously.
Also, imagine online co-op in MGSV. Far Cry 4 showed me that more open world games NEED co-op.
Play it almost every day. It's my favorite one in the series (played them all except 4) and is the most satisfying to actually play.
I can't wait to replay it in like 3-5 years when I get a new rig and a 4k monitor, with modded graphics settings, to see how beautiful it can really look.
4chan can't even handle 4k pngs of this game, the pixels are too pure.
>>344246349

>>344251059
>It's not that hard to understand, my dude
I've learned to let it go. Konami do not want you to ever achieve disarmament. I believe that is what the original developers of it intended - what Kojima intended - but at some point a suit said "wait, so if disarmament is achieved people won't have an incentive to participate in FOBs anymore? Well we can't have that can we?" and sabotaged the whole thing.
>Phantom Nukes
>Nuke counter not working
>Huge arsed blockade times
>Relatively easy to make
>No live nuke counter (despite code for it existing) and failing to regularly update players of the current count - which they stopped after a few months when most of the sales for the game were made
So here is how it'd go down if it DID happen.
>Big twitter announcement
>You start the game and get a cutscene
- at best you'd get a limited time event FOB to do which will trigger the cutscene
>At the end of it the flash card for peace goes out - the end
Sorry to burst your bubble man but if the fact that all the cutscenes in the game were shown pre-release in the trailers, and they put kingdom of the flies on the collector's bluray, doesn't clue you in that there's really nothing more I don't know what will.
I just hope you don't spend too much time on this hoping for something you'll never get.
>>344235750
I know that feel, I finally completed the game 100% a couple weeks ago in the hopes I'd feel a little better about it.I don't

Ohhhh fuck no. Those scripts are so fucking easy to interrupt and even if you're in range to have the subtitles displayed it just sometimes doesn't give it to you. Fuck me.
I still don't understand the FOB system. Probably never will.
>tfw offline and your base is still invaded
>>344252027

>>344252027

I had to restart that mission so many times it was fucking ridiculous. That one and animal conservation were the biggest pains
Started another playthrough with infinite heaven and the e3 shader, its actually really fun.
Actually having patrols, tanks, helicopters, special high ranked units etc. in free roam has actually made it feel alive for the first time. Mother Base too since it adds a bunch of NPCs and stuff

>>344257159
Actually I don't think anyone's checked it out. I go to the library pretty often to read and I always see the game sitting in the same exact spot.
Then again I haven't been there in a month. Maybe someone did rent it.
>have MGSV on Xbox One
>play MGO a ton when it comes out
>expectedly small community

I haven't checked since it's been fixed, but I think it's safe to say whatever community there was is dead.
>>344255517
It's a mod that basically adds a crazy comprehensive debug menu to the game.
For example, it lets you decide what your soldiers wear on mother base, engage in shooting exercises against actual soldiers on MB, spawn companions and vehicles there, etc.
It also lets you do shit like play any mission in Subsistence mode.
>>344257552
The grade 7 items take 15 DAYS to develop.
>>344258410
holy shit im glad i didnt pursue that shit and quit after campaign was over
>>344231448
I never even finished it. As soon as they rehashed the same missions in Act 2 I gave up.
>>344258189
>>breaks MGO making it literally unplayable
What happened?
>>344260865
The update made searching for matches impossible, as the game would crash as soon as you tried to search.
The only mode that wasn't broken was Survival, so you could at least play that.
>>344260989
That reminds me, did they ever fixed the stuttering issue? I remember there was a problem with the xboner version where the game would randomly hitch and lock up for a bit. Happened at the worst times and made me furious.
Should've never been ported to the Xbox one at all. Wouldn't have had to buy the game, then.
>>344252684
Because the PS3/360 versions can barely handle the game as it is.
>>344261165
I don't know if it was ever fixed, but I ran into it a few dozen times. It took til my first mission in Africa for me to run into the bug, though. And yeah, it usually happened at the worst times, and took control away from you.
I also found that the Xbox One version has issues with the record feature, where the game would stutter after saving a clip. It also didn't like the multitasking features, because I remember MGO crashing a few times because I went to another app for a bit.
>>344255818
>as if the first 3 metal gears weren't on PCs

Who /thoughtthevenomtwistwasgreat/ here?
>>344231448
I can't do it. When I load up the game on occasion all I do is listen to the truth tapes and my favorite tracks and check some shit before going out. MGS has always appealed to me through story first, MGSV is a good game and I had a lot of fun with it but I just can't play anymore for objectives that don't feed me story.
I replay the series every year for the story first, love the gameplay too but that's just the biggest appeal IMO. With V it's a one time deal, who the hell is gonna replay the open world game with all those unlockables just to see a story? There is no point.
MGS2 and 3 can be beaten in 10 hours and it doesn't take much, V has 120 hours of content but there's little replay value. It honestly needs a NG+ or some shit, I cannot be fucked to replay missions but here I go on MGS2 for the 100th time.
>>344231448
They give out loads of free resources daily. I've got 5,000 MB Coins just by logging in every day to play MGO.
>>344251740
the only hope is for death stranding to do insanely well and for sony to buy rights to MGS for kojima for even more $. Assuming konami would sell them.
>>344252027
>>344252363
I actually didn't know these gave so much insight to the story, just did them and it made a lot of the missions so much more cooler for me.
>>344231448
Yeah, but I wish I could stop.
I plan on picking it up once I get a PS4 soon. GZ is pretty cool and PW is my shit.

Just deleted my save, downloaded a mod to unlock all the items, and make GMP gains triple, and gave myeslf all the buddies from the start. Added a lot more armored enemies so i force myself to stealth more and desu, i'm having a great time the 2nd go around. replying the game from scratch is a lot better than trying to replay each mission individually.
Being able to make my own guns from the start is a lot nicer too, i enjoy the operator feel from it.

MGSV did nothing to add to the MGS plot. BB story should've only been 3.
Should've been post 4 or in WWII with the cobra unit, but Kojima can't stop jacking off to big boss and had to keep making games staring him
>>344264662
The reason I liked the Venom thing was because I think the single best way of showing Big Boss was an irredeemably bad person was by having him do to one of his own loyal men what the US did to The Boss
It cements his downfall far better than seeing him shoot a bunch of black kids would have

I wish that this game was what it was acting to be in the trailers. Like I don't know if Kojima just wanted the game to seem "darker" or "edgier" but I actually wish that it was about venom becoming a true villain, it just doesn't feel like that in the actual game

>>344262574
I didn't think it was great, but I didn't think it was the total shitfest everyone made it out to be. It's a twist, completely unnecessary, but it detract from the game or the story, and still takes Big Boss to his rightful position as deceitful conniving warlord.

also remember, a demon is justa servant of the devil

>>344265432
Maybe i'm full of shit, but I always took these trailers as patriot/cipher propaganda, as in what we think we "know" about big boss, and venom isn't that.
The elegia trailer specifically gets called out a lot, but skullface's speech is just implying that change happens from every new set of people he meant, as big bosses visage changes, meaning everyone is interpreting him differently as they pass on this legend of who he is.
I don't know why people misinterpret that as big boss descending into a demon.
>>344265432

i own both the regular edition and an unopened collectors edition - my question is this - will the dlc vouchers for the cosmetic shit expire?
*some* vouchers ive noticed do indeed have expiration dates which is horse shit when you think about it - my brand new copy of far cry 4 from amazon had an expired "keys to kyrat" voucher and the other one it came with for the harpoon gun and fat guy co op bro were close to expiring too IIRC
tl;dr do i need to open that shit up and redeem my code or is it already too late
>>344265804
That's really far reaching
The trailers were done because Kojima fashions himself as a cinema connoisseur and they are the closest he will ever be to a real director. There's no hidden meaning or anything in those trailers.
>>344266006
It's genuinely hard to know for sure
Scruffaluffapus works all too perfectly as a metaphor for MGSV itself, I can't help but wonder if there's really more to the way that he thinks than Hackjima kiddies give him credit for
>>344231448
I am.
>>344266006
but that's the whole point of the game, people hear shit about venom, and blame him for stuff he isn't even doing. The whole reason you're even fighting people in africa is because skullface tells everyone you're the cause of the parasite disease. The game is in 1984, it's not far fetched to believe that word of mouth and legends growing and being misconstrued is a part of these trailers, the whole trailer is about linguistics.
It's not about a hidden meaning, it's basic ass symbolism.
>>344265965
Don't think so.
>>344266006
I think he began like that, but now he just likes making games.
Wonder where he pulled off all that camerawork though, it was really good.
If i start a new file on Ps3, what carries over to the new file? I've heard that certain online development items are tied to your account and not your save file but would things like my FOB progress carry over? I'm almost done with my 3rd FOB and the only thing that's stopping me is that I don't want to start over with all my FOBs.
>>344231448
i do everyday, infiltrating FOBs is fun.
>>344266428
Online developed items, FOBs, online resources.
You lose offline developed items, your staff and Motherbase.
>>344266332
You're wasting your time anon, we don't use logic and rationale when talking about mgsv.
Despite seeing the high school level symbolism used in the trailers, you'll still get told you're wrong because big boss is goin down a hallway and it's edgy and dark. So it must be muh nuclear.
>>344266426
That's the biggest takeaway that nobody ever mentions about this game. The camera work is stellar and he is the first dev to successfully mimic a steady cam in a video game. I really he keeps this practical film making mindset with DS.
>>344266504
So my FOBs will have their progress kept if i restart? cool. Might actually be able to do some better resource management if i do restart
>>344266647
They will be built, but you'll lose the soldiers.
>>344266746
Thats fine. i'm more concerned with all the resources I've put into them to max them out. It be shit if I went to the trouble of maxing them out then restarting only to have to start over again.
What did Venom mean by this?
>>344266951
>wearing the bandana
fucking disgusting. Let go, you fag.
alright /v/ I've had a shitload of whiskey after coming off a 12 hour night shift and I am super fucked up but ima lay this down
mgsv was fine
it was disappointing compared to everything we were led to believe it would be, but that isn't the same as it being bad
the game showed us that big boss went off the deep end and did horrible shit to a person who was totally loyal to him, while showing us that this loyal person stayed true to the original values big boss espoused
the legend of the big boss we knew in 3 and PW died with venom
and solely blaming kojima for what happened is idiotic, because we *know* konami were partially responsible for the fucked up state of affairs that resulted in mgsv's ultimate state
this is the truth of things as far as I'm concerned, now I'm going to pass the fuck out
fuck all a y'all fegits
I have my own theory that the jeep ride was put together in the last minute and was originally going to be quite different.
Early in the game you'll hear soldiers mention the cave where Shalenathropus is in, and how that cave is connected to the mountains, AKA OKB Zero.
The cuck also tells you that OKB Zero is a laboratory, and then Ocelot tells you to go to the silo, this silo.
[cont]
>>344267168
Also, the elevator you go with Skullface in, can go downward too, there's a black void in there, and right before the elevator, there's this jeep.
I think the original plan was that you would get in that jeep, get in the elevator, which is big enough for one car, and you'll go to the actual laboratory part, and he would just show you all the shit they've been doing, probably a lot of Shaleanthropuses since he does say
>''My metal gears shall be the thread...''
bla bla bla.
And then you'll end up in the Sahelanthropus cave exit.
At least, I think that's what was going to happen.
>>344266983
lol no
i should play iti never touched 3 thanks to 2 , but did 100% on GZ
>>344267543
Yes, just don't be a hypefaggot and keep an open mind.
>>344267543
You should tbqh.
>>344267001
>but that isn't the same as it being bad
the storyline was just so fucking bad. i mean not just by mgs standards. it was just bad.
>hurr caring about stories in games
with mgs, i care. can't tell you why that is
>>344267312
This makes sense. The jeep ride could have used some editing or a cutscene or something.
>>344267587
i'm never a hypefaggot , thats what happens when you get 1 game worth playing every 5 years and 2 generations of buyers remorse
>>344267312
>>344267168
I don't think you're wrong at all anon. There are a lot of points in the game where you can tell kojima either got fired at and it didn't get finishing touches, or they stopped the money and he had to work with whatever he had.
There's no way the game should have less options than peace walker, and it does. I don't think the game was unfinished with just the lord of the flies bit, I think there were tons of things that were gonna be relooked at and touched up on or added.
Sadly we'll never know.
>>344267608
you could have had a leg to stand on with its bad in a stupid mgs way. But acting like it's bad in general is laughable.
I love the hyperbole on /v/
>>344267789
not a hyperbole. "lol parasites" is nanomachines taken to entire new level of stupid. it's not a good story. and it lacked the fucking ending for fucks sake.
>>344267594
>get to this boss fight
>played the game too much and everything was over developed
>killed the boss too quick and ruined the climax of the game
really hate base development shit.
>>344267884
That's why I always focus on destroying all of it's different parts.
I was listening to Sins of the Father the other day and I remembered how awful the story is.
>>344267961
Nice
>>344267921
>tfw no Sahelanthropus rematch at Mother Base
Would've been pretty exciting, especially with the risk of your men dying trying to protect the base. Maybe it could even destroy platforms.
>>344267884
this
>>344231448
Yeah, it's nice.
>>344255818
Why would you limit yourself?
>>344231448
The gameplay is near perfect , it's a shame the game released cut to pieces.
>>344265432
He is a villain. Just because there are guys worse than you doesn't make you innocent.
>>344271150
Care to elaborate on that?
I don't see how you can praise the gameplay in a game that has to dumb down its core objectives in order to accommodate different playstyles because the developers didn't want to balance things.
>>344271608
It's a fun game.
Don't really care about casualized or whatever as long as it's fun.
>>344271904
But it's not that fun because everything is so unbalanced in the player's favor.
>>344272046
>But it's not that fun
In your opinion.
Are you really going to tell me that I didn't have fun because you didn't have fun?
>used the game after several months
>challenges? sounds not too bad with weekly events
>finally added the stron sniper rifle
>you obviously need all FOB with a staff full of S++ to get it
>there's no reason to do anything but FOB
>you can't even do FOB because there will alawys be some cheaters that will put your whole platform to sleep in an instant
>only way to progress is to drop MB coins like crazy to max out your FOBS
it's just so fun
>>344272125
You sum up the general attitude of /v/ very nicely there
>>344272125
No I was asking you to expand on the reasoning behind calling the gameplay almost perfect.
>>344272257
If I have a lot of fun with a game, the gameplay must be good.
>>344272212
>you can't even do FOB because there will alawys be some cheaters that will put your whole platform to sleep in an instant
I think I only had to face FOB owners maybe 2 times since the game came out.
>only way to progress is to drop MB coins like crazy to max out your FOBS
How?
MB Coins only let you shorten the development times, they don't give you resources.
I sold the game off 3 weeks ago, no idea how anyone can still be playing this trash. Second copy and paste mission in and I was like fuck this.
I remember playing the earlier missions, rescuing faceless hostage #23 and fucking around with these pseudo rts elements and wondering when this game would actually start, then I continued to raid mudhouse after mudshack and fuck that, this game is a fucking piece of trash
>>344272361
>no the first post by this IP
Looks like we got to the samefagging part, let the thread die, the autismos have arrived.
>>344272361
>I was like fuck this.
>then I continued to raid mudhouse after mudshack and fuck that, this game is a fucking piece of trash
What's with MGSV hate posts that they all speak like edgy Redditors trying their hardest to sound like they are ''big deal''?
I still have fun every now and then.
Best operator simulator ever.
>>344272475
>>344272407
>MGSV was my first MGS game and the AAA explosions and repetitive missions dazzled me
>>344272407
Here's my new IP just for you, is it more valid if I say I don't like MGSV now.
It's too bad
>>344265059
>babby needs his m+kb for easy mode
fuck off nu-male.
>>344272609
I did play the older ones, what I found were awkward cameras, horrible controls, unending cutscenes, cringeworthy dialogue, and i'm impressed with the fact that every single character in this franchise is a walking cliche.
Then I went in with MGS2 which tried too hard at being ''le mindfuck'', introduced a gigantic fucking faggot, and then according to the internet i'm supposed to understand that this is some post-modern shit.
Then MGS3 dropped the few depth previous games had to give me constant history lessons, the biggest Mary Sue ever, and an ending that tried way too hard at making me cry.
And of course, MGS4 which butchered everything the other games tried to build.
Peace Walker was a Monster Hunter grindfest, and I gave up because the PSP's controls are completely awful, plus the bosses were just bullet spunges where the only challenge was not running out of bullets and markers to ask for ammo.
Then something about The Sue being in a pod, Snake for some reason getting autismal about it, and a 10 year old being a spy for the illuminati, lead by the guy who told me I should carry a Snake-shaped gun to my missions.
MGSV had an awful story, but I was ready for that after playing what I did, and i'm glad it turned out to be Mercenaries 3 rather than another MGS.
>>344272929
So the only MG game you liked was V, which was the biggest departure from the series and its core themes.
You're basically admitting you like mindless AAA games. Thanks for exposing your dumb ass to me though, I have a few more excellent recommendations for you in return, Far Cry, Mad Max and Assassins Creed are all stellar 10/10 you will enjoy, they are right up your alley and taste in video games.
>Infiltrate Skullface's base silently
>Deploy Tank
>Obliterate the whole base in record time
>rank S
Game is fine.
>>344273087
Yes, I think Iit's that.
The only MGS I like is V because it's not an MGS game.
>Far Cry, Mad Max and Assassins Creed are all stellar 10/10 you will enjoy
No, actually I tried those.
Fun thing about Assassins Creed, I bought 4 because everyone here was saying it was the best, and I dropped it like 2 hours in because the controls were absolutely horrible.
>>344273087
>mindless AAA games
So, MGS?
>>344273191
You were too casual for an Assassins Creed game?
That's astounding, even children can beat those games.
>>344273191
Heh, at least you're honest.
I just dont get wanting to play a MGS themed AAA game and not actually liking the core series.
I thoroughly enjoyed 1 to 4 including PW yet I hated V, we are essentially opposites.
>>344273289
No, it's not that it was hard.
>try to get in the boat and take the wheel
>for some reason the guy gets on top of a canon
>try to get in the wheel
>for some reason he climbs on top of it
The controls are completely fucked.
>>344234103
I think MGS5 is the best game I've played in years.
It has it's faults, namely all the scrolling through menu's to call in helicopters and the constant waiting for upgrades to complete etc, it gets tedious. Mother Base was a let down also. It should be smaller and much more aesthetically customisable. It's just a huge expanse of boring nothingness that you don't want to explore or particularly care about expanding except for the increased number of staff you gain.
But the gameplay is just great, especially compared to the previous ones. The missions are pretty repetitive I guess but I never really minded that. I really felt like I had freedom, something rare in games, even though they all claim to give you choices.
For me, I just love sneaking around the base, putting C4 on all the communications equipment, then blowing it all up at once and tranquilsing them all one by one as they run around looking for you. It never gets old.
The story was shite though. I have the feeling Kojima wanted to dispense a few too many red pills this time so they canned him and cut alot of stuff out, that's what it feels like.
>>344273417
No, in all honesty you just sound fucking retarded.
I'm not trying to defend Assassins Creed here but you were apparently too retarded to follow the on screen button prompt that flashes up every time you even get near a ship's wheel.
Just finished chapter 1. Pretty fun.
Kinda pissed that it's making me do earlier missions but with stupid restrictions.
>>344273559
The missions which are just the same ones as before but with different difficulty are optional, you do not have to complete them.
Just go do some side op, and they'll call you in to do the next actual main mission.
In the mission list, all the missions that have a white dot instead of a yellow one, are optional.
>>344273559
you don't have to do those repeat missions to progress.
though you will soon come to realize they're the most fun you'll have in the game.
>>344273683
Ehh, it's better to go in subsistence mode to free roam.
The game was pretty damn fun, I enjoyed it a lot but there was some room for improvement but the free roam, motherbase, buddies and weapons were damn fun to use.

can't believe how bad the texture work is in this game
>>344274915
At it's core, is still a PS3 game.
>>344273559
I like to think that you repeat missions on harder difficulty because Venom starts to misremember them because of the sharpnel.
>>344274851
You using any graphics mods in these pics? Game looks different somehow.
I can't dew this anymore
>>344275050
E3 2013 ENB
>>344275136
I think it makes the game look better.
>>344275136
>>344275434
to me, it doesn't look like e3 2013, it just makes it look blurry.
there's an extended extra high settings mod that looks pretty good, have you tried that?
ive never played any metal gear game. can i just jump into phantom pain or are the other games mandatory for understanding the story?
>>344275531
play them in story order if you care about the story.
portable ops, mgs3, peace walker, mgs1, phantom pain, 2 and then 4.
if not then just play tpp
>>344275481
The blur comes from the depth of field and motion blur in-game.
If you have them turned off, it won't happen, I just turn it on for screenshots.
>>344275531
Nope, but there's not much story in MGSV anyway.
>>344275652
>there's not much story in MGSV anyway
i thought this franchise is so loved for its story lore and characters?
>>344275481
And yes, I tried the extra high settings, but pretty much the only thing it does is increase draw distance.
>>344275728
That's why so many people say it's a bad game.
Gameplay wise, it's basically a more militaristic Mercenaries game.
Best operator simulator unless you are willing to give in to autism and try ArmA 3.
>>344275615
PO happends after MGS 3
>>344275826
no it doesn't
don't listen to this guy he can't even spell happens
>>344264812
This. Been saying it for months, it's very effective. What people wanted was a Darth Vader shouting "NOOOOOOOO" moment for Big Boss. I'm pretty glad they didn't go that way.
>>344274060

>>344276137
The concept is brilliant, you only have to look at how betrayed people here feel about it to see that. Being personally betrayed by the main character of a game is genuinely "something that can only happen in video games" I don't think there's anyway you can argue that it isn't a succinct and effective way of demonstrating Big Boss' downfall.
But the execution feels so rushed that people misplace that sense of betrayal in Kojima/Konami rather than viewing it as a narrative aspect. If the last mission hadn't literally been the tutorial I think people would recognize that.
I still play a mission or two here and there, slowly going for 100%. MGO is garbage, though.
Does anybody know where i can put my
custom music in the game?

thank you
I am doing a no kills full stealth run so yeah I am still playing it.
