Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was the most dissapointing thing since my son. I mean how much more could you possibly fuck up the entire back story to Metal Gear?
>>345124889
You best have written this out.
>>345124889
And while my son eventually hanged himself in the bathroom of a gas station, the unfortunate reality about the Metal Gear prequel is that it'll be around, forever
It will never go away
It can never be undone
>I mean how much more could you possibly fuck up the entire back story to Metal Gear?
Easy
Just like Quiet was the most disappointing thing to Venom
>>345125443
thats some dark shit anon
>>345125443
If you're someone who's under the age of like, 20, and says his least favorite Metal Gear is MGS2, because it was the most "boringest one", then I suggest you shut this review off right now, before I carefully explain how much of a fucking idiot you are

every single trailer for MGS V was 19 times better than the game itself
why
why wasnt it the same tone GZ was
that was perfectly grim dark mgs themed
>>345126391
Code Talker
>>345126541
And then we played the game...
Ooohhhhhh...
>>345124889
MGSV didn't actually change much about the back story though. Skull Face is a pretty inconsequential character, and Venom is a mere footnote.
Instead of merely getting really fucking old and falling apart, Major Zero was attacked with a parasite and fell apart. Instead of Big Boss manipulating Solid Snake and getting his shit wrecked, Big Boss manipulates Solid Snake and gets his shit wrecked along with Venom who dies.
It was just a filler game to justify being able to play as "Big Boss" one last time.

i was so fucking hyped for mgs v after seeing this trailer
and now......

She's umm..................................stoic?
>>345126701
>It was just a filler game to justify being able to play as "Big Boss" one last time.And they didn't even have that.
every trailer kojima laid hands on was 10/10
why was that?
> I only played Metal Gear Rising prior
I liked it
>>345126851
It has nothing the to do with Kojima or the game.
The songs were awesome, that's all.
did that one military advisor from kojipro go to soy too?
Is this scene supposed to be funny?
Awkward?
Serious?
I don't feel anything.
>>345126939
I suggest you to shut this review off right now, before I carefully explain how much of a fucking idiot you are
>>345105945
No, it's fantastic. Big boss was already the villain at the end of pw, Kojima new the only way to make the player see him for what he was was for him to betray the player in the most painfull way imaginable.
Venom isn't a metaphor for the player, he is literally you, your past stolen, brainwashed to think you're Snake (by playing mgs for two decades).
Big Boss calls you his friend but the truth of it is that he's used you the same way America used the boss in MGS3. Like every other MGS you're just a pawn of the evil dude.
The whole skullface storyline is about coming to terms with the fact that big boss's outer heaven plan is just as convoluted, stupid and evil as skull face's.
>>345126391
My response:
>>345126092
>>345126983
Songs are intrinsically part of the trailer.
MY THEORY
venom snake is something kojima had to create to "hide" from "zero" aka konami
ocelot is someone close to kojima who was hypnotized himself to fool konami that he was working for them and not for kojima
miller also a close friend of kojima, only knew about the charade after it happened
>>345126391
Bland epic sniper waifu.
>>345126793
Diamond dogs lasted 10x longer than MSF.
Venom is 10x the Big Boss that Naked Snake was
>>345127090
>Venom isn't a metaphor for the player, he is literally you, your past stolen, brainwashed to think you're Snake (by playing mgs for two decades).
These two don't contradict. You're right about the rest, though.
>>345127073
I thought the game was good, Its not the worst thing ever
>>345127090
>The whole skullface storyline is about coming to terms with the fact that big boss's outer heaven plan is just as convoluted, stupid and evil as skull face's.
Umm what?
wtf brought you to that conclusion?
SF's death was supposed to make you feel empty, that's the point of his character.
Getting revenge was never all that satisfying at the end of the day, you expected a big fight with SF at the end, and Huey the cuck is the one who kills SF in the end, Rev enge was supposed to be unsatisfying, illustrating the themes of the game.
Not even defending the story, but that's how Kojimmy wanted to portray.
Venom was the REAL villain, not Skullface, and this is evident with the way he dealt with Quiet - cold, bitter apathy
>>345127515
>wtf brought you to that conclusion?
The jeep ride you fuck, the whole reason Venom looks so surprised and Sins of the Father starts playing when SF finishes, the whole point of that godawful scene was to demonstrate that skullface's plan is only slightly more evil than nuclear equipped mercenaries creating a world of perpetual warfare
>Getting revenge was never all that satisfying at the end of the day
This and big boss's plan being dumb aren't mutually exclusive
>I've been playing MGS since I was 13
>Absolutely loved every MGS game so far for different reasons.
Sure, all games have their flaws but they are all amazing at the same time. People just shouting "IT'S SHIT BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THING!" are retards though. MGSV is a fucking great game, despite it's shortcomings.
Still, glad I got V on PC because mods really enhanced the game for me by taking away the biggest flaw, which is the rather empty open world.
Plays like a dream with a properly configured infinite heaven, a weather mod and other little graphics and UI mods.

Skull Face and BB are literally polar opposites you dumb fuck.
>>345124889
>>345125443
I didn't know you played Metal Gear Mr Plinkett
>>345127043
The whole silence stuff (and the song playing) was retarded but I thought the game actually transporting you across the map was a cool idea. The speech didn't really bother me either since MGS was always cheesy like that.
>>345124889
There is more to this game. People were right. This is going to be the new MGS2.
You will be ashamed of your worth and deedsbitch
>MGSV was the first and only Metal Gear game I've played
The game lacks fucking charm, that's it. It's drab and boring throughout.
>>345128859
Awww, here's a (You), you special snowflake.
>>345128547
You're retarded, I don't know why I'm even bothering to reply again
You managed to miss the part where skullface's plan just CONVENIENTLY manages to be a backasswards interpretation of the boss's will, or did you just miss the line where he says that major and big boss were wrong and that he knew "What the boss really wanted"
They're two sides of the same coin, skullface tells you himself. Venom may rise above in some respects, but big boss is just as bad as skullface. You're a delusional big boss fan boy if you still believe otherwise, after everything he died to you.
im gonna re-play it soon. Only taking into consideration GZ's.
No hype or pre-concieved speculations should hopefully change my mind on it
>>345129115
*did to you
>>345124889
I don't care about your faggot ass gay piece of shit.
>>345128778
Maybe if Kojima would have been able to make another sequel or an expansion
The dream is dead now, anon. Give it up and move on.
If I had fun with 5 should I emulate 1-4
>>345126745
It is amazing how context made almost every scene from the trailers less dramatic.
>>345129614
>should I emulate 4
>>345129614
no they're nothing alike
>>345129614
>Emulating 4
Not for another 10 years anon
1-3 are masterpieces though, but the gameplay will take a while to get used to. Try going into MGS1 with no preconceived notions to enjoy it more, since the gameplay style is honestly completely different, and take it from there.
I think MGS2 and 3 might still be bitches to emulate too unless your rig is a beast, so take note of that too. The HD collection on PS3 or 360 is your best bet for those two, 1 can run on any toaster. Hell I played it on a PSP last week.
>>345129531
There is still hope. Granted, it's been like almost a year since MGSV release and no new worthy updates or expansions announced, but if there was indeed a plan to expand MGSV, that plan is still inside Konami's HQ.
If there is indeed more to add, konami will add... maybe...
>>345129901
>implying 10 years will be enough for people to artificially recreate the power of the cell.
>>345129918
Konami killed the game before the final map was finished. They are not going to release actually single player dlc ever.
>>345129918
Anon... stop...
>>345127090
>betray the player in the most painfull way imaginable
Also in the most boring way imaginable. Literally anything would've been better than "Big Boss does bad stuff off-screen while you fanny around in the desert for 80 hours putting balloons on people".
>XOF's Metal Gear cuts 'em down like they're butter, and they really are pretty useless

She's silent and deadly. Doesn't feel shame about her body. Arrogant, but also loyal and devoted. Conflicted about her purpose.
>>345129614
You're a fucking moron if you started with V. Although the only way someone can have fun with V is if they're casuals who never even got into the franchise, so it makes sense.
>>345129335
Then why did you come to this thread
>>345127043
>>345128763
It's a bit of a deal since later when you rescue huey you take that very route they take
>>345129984
>implying mgs4 needed cell
all that propaganda about mgs4 being only possible with ps3 was absolute bullshit. mgs5 is ten times larger than mgs4 and it was released on xbox360
>>345129984
I remember when sony was supposed to make smart TVs with the cell chip in them. boy really weird looking at how that tech played out
>>345130576
Fox is incredibly well optimized. MGS4's engine is probably held together with fucking duct tape, and is why MGR had to be shipped off to Platinum to be actually made.
>>345127090
I might believe this if the ending was BB killing Venom and taking over the army he built up.
Instead Venom was happy to work with BB and willingly ran Out Heaven for him.
>>345130223
Ostensibly Kojima is saying that Big Boss was a villain since Peace Walker, the game isn't about him becoming evil, it's about him having been evil from the start.
When you consider that all his ideals were based his convictions about America using The Boss as a disposable pawn, him doing the same to you is the lowest he could possibly sink. The fact that he fucked off to do illuminati shit afterwards is just insult to injury.
Ostensibly also though, the shit Venom would have done for the 11 years he was leading outer heaven would've been much cooler than the shit big boss was getting up to, remember big boss is a pussy who doesn't fight for his ideals anymore, most of the shit he would've done was talking to people.
>>345130691
MGR was originally going to be using Fox actually.
And no, MGSV might be fairly well optimized but most of the reason it runs so well (even on consoles) is because it doesn't particularly push polygon budgets and just isn't very taxing because of this. And on consoles the lod is so god-awfully low just to keep the performance good. I don't want to say too much about how the lighting is done as I don't really know the specifics but it looks good. The shadows are mostly hard though so there's another thing that is toned down for performance. It also doesn't use some common modern tech things like tessellation, and they almost completely scrapped the reflections that GZ had on PC. There are still some reflections at points on PC but they're very low quality and barely noticeable.
>>345127275
>Diamond dogs lasted 10x longer than MSF
>and we NEVER heard about this more successful mercenary army led by THE Big Boss in any other Metal Gear title.
the shoehorning of new shit into the past is some of the worst fucking writing, I swear
>>345130086
They ended the development prematurely because they weren't confident regarding the game success sales wise.
They wasted millions in MGSV and the previous MGS game weren't exactly top sellers hence why they refused to waste another cent with it.
But now Konami knows how successful the game was. And MGSV made a lot of money. Konami already has most of the assets for the game. It only need to be completed.
I'm not saying that it is going to happen, I mean, just look at how old MGSV is already, almost a year old and no big updates.
But maybe, just maybe, there is still hope. If anything we might get a mgs3 remake. They are already developing a shit ton of hd assets for the panchinko and Konami said that they will continue to produce MGS AAA titles.

>>345131052
The player would've done the same, Venom (you) may have been betrayed but ultimately you would rather keep playing and operating and running diamond dogs and steer it according to your own will (as venom does occasionally during the game, would Bad Boss have spared Huey the way he did?).
>>345131352
That's because it's considered outer heaven either as soon as venom gets there or at least by the end of the year 1984
Check the logo changes during the truth ending timeline
>>345131591
I am not walking about Diamond Dogs. I am talking about Outer Heaven.
According to the timeline. Venom gave up all his morals and became worse than Hitler all because BB told him to. Taking Child soldiers being the most obvious change. After the reveal, he did everyone BB wanted him to.
>>345131367
>Konami said that they will continue to produce MGS AAA titles.
I must have missed this, where was this said?
>>345126391
>describe this character without describing this character
>>345131993
Around the time they fired Kojima. They even had an ad hiring for a new Metal Gear game.
>>345131862
Because MUH DEMON SNAKE
It's a metaphor for the fact that the player should've known what they were doing was wrong when the game started, yet continued regardless. Venom just got to keep playing. If the game was 11 years long you would've gladly done everything he did just for the thrill of it.
I'm not saying it's satisfying, but the game doesn't seem meant to be so it's part for the course.
>>345131862
Besides, it's implicit by Venom's inherent "goodness" off the battlefield (despite his struggles with the "demon" Big Boss part of his personality) that the world was much better off with Venom leading Outer Heaven than it would've been with the real Big Boss at the head.
Did you carry out every mission in V exactly the way it was given to you? No. If that were the case all the kids in blood runs deep would have been dead of lead poisoning.
I had a good time with the game. I got it on sale.
>>345124889
Fuck off Plinkett.
>>345133001
The game is really only a disappointment as a mgs game. Its pretty good on its own, but its not at all what it was hyped up to be as this big turnabout in the mgs series. Next to no cut scenes, cut content, new voice actor.
>>345135347
How could a game that is clearly unfinished, has numerous copy pasted levels, and an ending that literally pops up from out of no where be pretty good on its own.
It only gets a pass because it is MGS.
>>345136564
Because the only true thing about mgsv you listed was the final one
>>345125497
MGS4 retconned so much shit it ain't even funny.
>>345137248
They were so lazy in the second half, they do not even change the cutscenes after doing the repeat missions.
Liquid had a huge focus in the game but they never explain what happened to him, or the final virus vial.
Even missions that were lot completely copied, you were still infiltrating the same bases, but with a different objective.
My first two points are valid unless you are intentionally being dumb.
