Months ago, I had never played a Metal Gear game, and was only vaguely familiar with the characters and concepts. When I saw that a friend of mine owned a copy of Ground Zeroes, I borrowed it, expecting to play it for an hour or two, laugh a bit at the absurd plot MGS is renowned for, and return it.
Instead, I completed most of the missions, went out and bought The Phantom Pain, and proceeded to spend more playtime on it than any other game in my life (besides Tetris and some shovelware I had for my gameboy when I was nine). The plot had its ups and downs, but I really liked it overall. And the gameplay was quite possibly the most fun I've had in years, and it was certainly the most lastable. Video games tend to be a bit apples-and-oranges to me, but MGSV:TPP is definitely in the top three if not my favorite game of all time.
And yet, everyone who has anything to say on the matter has nothing to say but negative. I can only assume that there were some flaws that only seem apparent when directly compared to its predecessors. The only thing I could really make sense of was the absence of boss battles, and yes, that was a bit disappointing, considering how much fun I had with Sahelanthropus and the Skulls.
In short, my questions for you are: What is it about the previous Metal Gear games that caused TPP to be a disappointment? Which games would you recommend as an example, or perhaps just an entry point?

The cutscenes aren't as long and THAT'S IT

I don't know, I quit MGS after 4 since it was fucking garbage. TPP looks like shit too, looks like an open world MGS4.
Play 1, 2 and 3, they are the only MGS games worth playing. Why the hell would you play a MGS game without starting with the first?
>>333744613
A lot of it has to do will most of the plot being given away in the trailers, as well as a few plot lines that are just dropped with no real conclusion.
The 360 and PS3 were better than PC's at the time they were released and were sold at a loss. Sony's so far in the lead, they can just take a risk, slap the polaris or pascal equivalent of 380 or 970 in the ps4k, and call it a day. Remember, Pascal and Polaris are supposed to be a TREMENDOUS leap for pc architecture and will be touted as the 1st true lineup of 4k-ready cards.

Gamers that complain about what is worse than something else because "mah opinions"
-- Nintendo releases Zelda U
-- Critical acclaim. Lauded as the new OoT by all screening reviews. Not since it has there been such a consensus that this is it. The new best game of all time.
--- However, there's a disclaimer on many of them, that the ending sucks, but due to the embargo they can't say why.
-- You avoid spoilers like the rest of /v/, since spoiling Nintendo games is rare fare anyway.
--You play through the game's 80 hours...
-- So far so good. In fact you forget all about the ending complaints.
-- Plot twist: The game is actually far into the future. A sequel to Zelda II: Adventure of Link.

Gannon's dead tho
>>333743018
>died in ALttP
>came back in Ancient Stone Tablets, in Oracle series, ALBW, and debatably LoZ (the reason it's debatable is because the paraphernalia says he broke out of Dark World which was destroyed in ALttP GBA, but that also contradicts AST.)
>>333743720
No, Zelda I and Zelda II are the same time period. They're actually trying to revive Gannon in Zelda II.
