Metal Gear Solid 5

[MrC1991]

Anyone else amped for this shit like I am? Good God does it look amazing. http://www.youtube.com./watch?v=NVo-f9jvZqs

[BigBoss]

Hell yeah

[bladefd]

Looks awesome. Legendary Hideo Kojima working wonders with his team and creating creative art

[Levity]

is this the "open world" mgs ive been hearing about?

[bladefd]

is this the "open world" mgs ive been hearing about?

Yes. One of the people at IGN said that you also get a main base that you can customize like you could in Skies of Arcadia. I guess you can upgrade the defenses, weapons, set up security sentries, recruit people, etc..

[Heavincent]

2015 GOTY. So hyped.

[Levity]

And you haven't even seen the real gameplays yet. :facepalm :ohwell:

is this something else?

I've played Ground Zeroes.

[El Kabong]

The redband trailer from last years E3 has gameplay footage in it

http://youtu.be/2ht7xat2Gjk

They're also showing a 30 minute demo at E3 at the moment, although that footage hasn't been released.

[Heavincent]

Phantom Pain supposes to have more than Ground Zeroes, right? But how more? I would love to see the trailer that actually show some of those.

Over 200X bigger than Ground Zeroes according to Kojima.

And Kiefer Sutherland as Big Boss is ****ing awesome. I don't get why fans are bitching about him. Probably just nostalgia, even though Sutherland is a much better actor than Hayter.

[chazzy]

Gonna be amazing

Sutherland is nice but Hayter was Snake/Big Boss for so long people got attached.

[Heavincent]

I understand, but people should quit hating on Sutherland. This game will be all about Big Boss losing his mind and turning into a villain, and I don't think Hayter has the range to pull it off. Don't get me wrong, his voice is pretty iconic, but I think Kiefer is definitely a better fit.

[Micku]

Big time Metal Gear fan. I think this new MGS will be amazing judging from the gameplay footage and my play from GZ. I still have a few nitpicks, but it's obvious GOTY contender whatever year it comes out.

[HylianNightmare]

I'm rock hard

This is a sequel to Peace Walker by the way which should have been MGS5. Phantom Pain should actually be MGS6. Way to confuse people..

[MadeFromDust]

Just tell me when I can buy it. I don't need pre-hype -_-

[BigBoss]

Not til next year. Probably fall 2015.

That's Kojima trademark.

[Micku]

I've been reading about the features of the MGS5. It's going to be awesome.

* There's a day/night cycle. Some missions appear to be timed. Like in the beginning of MGS5, you would have to recuse Kaz within 3 days.

*Customize your base of operation.

*You base can be attacked by NCPs. Who will attack your base depends on your choices in the game. You can also invite your friends to your base or they can attack it as well.

*Recruit soldiers. They have a level system. You can personally train them if you want and their morale would get boast by your presence. It'll be useful when defending attackers.

*Many of the complaints of Ground Zeros seems to be address in MGS5. You can hide yourself and bodies in dumpsters. More interior buildings. Guards don't have instant alert anymore. Cardboard boxes make a return. While wall knocking isn't returning, you can do something with your mechanical hand to make noise.

*Dynamic weather

*Fulton recovery system makes a return. It cost money to do it now. The success of a fulton of a person/vehicle/object depends on the weather condition.

There's also some new animation of CQC and BB overall movement. I'm just worry about the Fulton recovery system. I would like there be more of a limit than just money. Maybe if you fulton ppl, you'll attract guards or something. I dunno. Like near the end of this vid, the dude fulton any object he can get his hand on:

^so good. The head slam against the wall with blood was really cool.

I'll come back with my list when I put more thought into it lol

[MavsSuperFan]

My favorite video game series.

Its really more a work of art.


1. MGS series
2. Fallout series
3. GTA series
4. Mario Franchise
5. The last of us

[red1]

the ones on ps1 and ps2 were the shit but mgs4 on ps3 was garbage to me

[BigBoss]

I got it as..

1. Metal Gear Solid (i think nostalgia plays a huge influence, but it's all the little moments in this game that make it a classic. the foxhound unit in that game is my fav team of villians in any video game. Meryl getting sniped and having to run back to find a sniper rifle, psycho mantis, sniper world's death, the ninja fight, the codec conversations, vulcan raven's second boss fight, liquid being master miller, and when Rex is activated were just EPIC. I for some reason as a kid didn't think Rex would get activated, so when it did i literally paused the game stepped out the room and had to take a breath and regroup because of the severity of that situation lol)

2. Metal Gear Solid 3 ( it had the best story and ending. if this game came out before MGS1 it would probably be my favorite)

3. Metal Gear Solid 4

4. Metal Gear Solid 2 (huge let down)

I haven't played Peace Walker yet, but something tells me this was slip into #2 or #3.

I plan on re-buying a PS3 when I have downtime and getting the HD collection and Ground Zeroes to prep for MGS5.


I still to this day hope for a "true" sequel to Metal Gear Solid 1. I'm talking a young Solid Snake continuing after Shadows Moses. A game in between MGS1 and MGS2, OR if they go prequel, then a game about Solid Snake fighting Big Boss ( recreating the original Metal Gear) is something I want. I'm hoping that game is MGS6. Although the MGS series is great, it's a bit like the Matrix, the original was a game changer, then the sequels switched it up and got too complex straying from the charm of the original.

I want to play as THIS version of Snake. This IS Snake to me. Not Old Snake, not naked snake, not punished snake, not venom Snake. SOLID SNAKE is this, and he deserves a true sequel

How do we know that won't be in The Phantom Pain? I have a feeling that will be the ending. Hayter will return as Solid Snake. They've just been keeping it a secret.

Yeah, wish they'd either remake MGS, or remake and revamp the old metal gears.

Want to play MGS again but think the technology drop off would just be too great.

[bladefd]

Isn't MGS5 supposed to be the last metal gear solid game by Kojima?

[BigBoss]

How do we know that won't be in The Phantom Pain? I have a feeling that will be the ending. Hayter will return as Solid Snake. They've just been keeping it a secret.

I think so too, at least in the end credits they'll probably introduce it. I think the blonde kid in the game defiantly is Liquid, and Big Boss will find out that he has a twin at the very end. Phantom takes place in 1985. The original Metal Gear takes place in 1995 and introduces Outer Heaven and Grey Fox.

The transformation is almost complete.

Is anybody else getting a Star Wars vibe to all of this?

Big Boss--> Darth Vader
The Boss--> Obi Wan Kenobi

Naked Snake--> Anakin Skywalker episode 1/2.
Punished/Venom Snake-->Anakin Skywalker Episode 3.

Solid Snake--Luke Skywalker
Darth Vader/Big Boss had twins

Outer Haven/Metal Gear/Arsenal Gear-->The Death star.
The Patriots-->The Empire

Metal Gear 5 basically being his transformation to Darth Vader, or Snake-->Big Boss we all know.

[Micku]

Here is the MGS5 30 min demo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGRXPXaouDg

My very short impressions of it is that it looks great. It looks in-depth. And other than fultons and enemy AI not noticing it them, enemies not really talking when being interrogated, and cardboard box being OP (but it'll be fun as hell), the game is looking like the best MGS gameplay of the series.

Haha the part with the sheep! http://youtu.be/hGRXPXaouDg?t=5m29s

[BigBoss]

If the climax of the game is leading an army into enemy territory then :bowdown:

I haven't played Peace Walker so I don't know how mother base and the recruting worked then.

[Heavincent]

Troy Baker as Ocelot :applause:

[Micku]

Hmm...the only thing I dislike is the fulton feature. I dislike how this feature appears to work. I know it was in Peace Walker, and I don't know how the system of fulton worked in that game. I read somewhere in PW you were supposed to equip it and then use it. I don't know if its limited or unlimited.

Regardless of how it worked in PW, in the demo it just seems too overpowered. You just hold up guards or knock them and send them up with your fultons. And the fultons doesn't appear to give away your position either and the enemy AI don't seem to hear their comrades screaming in as they go straight up in the air. This allows you to clean up whatever area you're in, assuming if you are outside. This will remove the tension of hiding the bodies and it'll probably make the game a bit broken unless there is a limit.

From what I understand, the limit of your fultons is your money (GMP). Judging from the demo, the average cost to send ppl to with your fultons is 300. This will increase if you send a vehicle or object that is bigger or more value. Like it'll cost more to fulton a tank than it does a person. Also, the weather will affect the success rate of the fultons.

So, depends on how much money you have, you could abuse this feature.

Other than that, this game looks amazing. Probably going to revolutionize. I think the Outer Heaven/Mother Base is the highlight of the demo. The fact that you can customize it, the base looks active, you can improve it and train with your soldiers is a amazing aspect. The box tricks are awesome too. And I love the weather system. Troy Baker as Ocelot is close to perfect. The music in the beginning is great too.

And I love how the game could just go from cutscene to gameplay without an obvious loading time. That's was one of the things I love about GZ too. But one thing is weird about the beginning scene is that Big Boss don't have any lines. Nothing to say in the beginning. That's weird.

[BigBoss]

^I personally love it. I like the streamlined approach to the gameplay and things like that. A lot of people aren't a fan of the reflex thing when sighted but I love it. Also, I really like how you can set check markers for yourself. You create your own path and approach to everything. Lots of replay value in that.


I just played through Ground Zeroes at a buddys house. I loved it. He has has a massive TV planted on the wall and the graphics just blew me away. The tone of the game is amazing. I personally am a huge fan of the shock value. Who else has played it? What do you guys think of the ending and Chico's tapes? Big Boss's story is way more interesting then Solid Snake's. Metal Gear 5 will be a war between Big Boss and Xero.

I only played it today, solid game, kind of disappointed it was as short as it was. One more act would have been nice. Also got that song stuck in my head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0xUl_VRCmM

[ErhnamDjinn]

sorry to sound dumb but what is the fulton feature.

I loved the very first MGS game on the PS1, never enjoyed or got to play the sequels. I might get this new one depending on how the game turns out.

It was first in Peace Walker. Now it's in MGS5, which is Peace Walker's sequel. It's a bit of an RPG element. Big Boss is building an army without any allegiance to any nation that's called Mother Base ( outer heaven basically). So basically in the course of the game you can recruit soldiers and send back anything you want to customize and create your own mother base ( outer heaven).

I recommend you play MGS3 at least then MGS5.


2 was a piece of shit.
4 was good. The de--briefing scene is one of the most epic moments in gaming history for me.
5 looks EPIC.

I don't know why people keep saying that. I knew when they announced it, it was going to be like the "Tanker" mission and the prologue of MGS3. Pure money grab.

It was 2 that actually stopped me from playing all the other sequels, thing was like a cutscene movie with splashes of game in it. I moved over to Splinter Cell at the time which is a game I enjoyed.

I guess ill have to try the HD collection someday. By the way how are the other MG games the one with Raiden?

I hated MGS2 too so i dont blame you, the plot was so convulated, and Raiden was a bitch. Weakest entry by far. All that game did was introduce the Patriots and that there was a 3rd clone, if you know that information you can skip this game.

Metal Gear Solid 3 Kojima totally redeemed himself. It has the best story and you realize how bad ass Big Boss was. The story arc of Big Boss' mentor is a gem and so huge in MGS cannon. This is basically Snake's dad acending to Super Sayin at game's end and put through hell in the process.

Metal Gear Solid 4 was great, but too many cut scenes. Once again Kojima on damage control with MGS2 and reinvents Raiden. The last scene is one of the most epic mind blowing things ever. But you need to play MGS3 to appreciate it.

Metal Gear 5 is cutting back on cutscenes and focusing on gameplay with an entirely new approach with stealth taking away the linear approach of the game and replacing it with an open world. Think red dead redemption, arkham city fused with Metal Gear Solid 3/4 with a bunch of new tricks

You got about a year until MGS5 comes out. Try to play part 3 at the least. 4 isnt necessary but it closes the arc of the story. Think Return of the Jedi with Metal Gear Solid 5 being Revenge of the Sith.

I highly suggest you play Metal Gear Solid 3. MGS3 is for Big Boss what MGS1 was to introducing us to Solid Snake. You can play MGS4 after 5.

[Micku]

MGS2 isn't getting enough love here.

MGS2 plot was amazing to me. While it does have pacing issues, it was one of those plots that made me want to go back to figure out WTF I just witness. The ending conversation of the game to the Patriots was creepy and amazing. You can go back and compare some of the stuff that they said to what is happening right now in current events.

The game's plot was ahead of its time imo. It just needed a bit more editing and smoothing out.

I'd love them to remake the entire series. I really enjoyed the game play back then but I wasn't too interested in the story so I've missed a lot of it. I kind of have it down now, but I'd love to go back and play everything through again.

[navy]

Kojima has great ideas, but his story telling is overrated. Yeah I said it. He just doest piece it all together that well.

[Micku]

Sh!t is crazy at Konami atm. Kojima leaving/fired from the company, Kojima name being removed from the boxes from his past work and MGS5, Silent Hills being cancelled, and a bunch of reconstructing stuff.

You got sources like this:



First of all, Kagemasa Kozuki, the CEO of Konami hates Kojima. He uses too much money, spends too much time even though MGS is profitable it's still not making enough money for Kagemasa.
...
Hundreds of people are going to lose their jobs, not just Kojima.
....
Kagemasa wants them out but he can't fire the whole team at once so he's forcing them to quit on their own terms.
....
Frequent black outs, security doors not working, people being forced to move desks every few days. One guy said that it's a literal hell.
...
People have said that Kojima can sue Konami, but he won't because he wants to finish the game and Konami Knew that.
....
People are cancelling preorders and calling out on Kojima but that's the last thing he needs right now. He loves his fans and loves MGS. He's doing all he can to save it and save his team from Konami.

Transcripts from the source in the vid: https://i.imgur.com/wZrhM7V.jpg

You can take it with a grain of salt tho, but it goes right with the Konami reconstructing the company and saying how Kojima and his crew are limited to internet. Their contracts are also up in December, so this very well could be the last MGS game that Kojima and his crew will do together.

MGSV seems to be okay for now and will come out this year. But Silent Hills is doomed. Damn shame.

[BurningHammer]

Konami has delisted itself from New York Stock Exchange as well.

Kojima will be fine. He can either join another big gaming company (Nintendo, Sega, SquareEnix, etc) or just open his own company ala Inafune (of Rockman) or Itagaki (of Ninja Gaiden).

[Joshumitsu]

Japan's Game Industry is done.

Yeah, Kojima is fine. He has one hell of a resume and could get hired anywhere in the gaming industry. Dude got prestige and is one of the legendary names in the industry. Him and his crew like his lead programmers and art designer might go with him.

However, I don't think they could take the Fox engine with them. They built it, but it probably belongs to Konami and I don't think Konami would do anything with it besides PES games.



Japan's Game Industry is done.

The console gaming in Japan isn't looking too good. Most of the creative names are leaving the big budget Japanese companies for a few years now. Kojima is next and is one of the biggest names out there, so it's a big deal. They all want to focus on mobile gaming. Nintendo, Sega, Square and now Konami wants to get on it more seriously. And gambling since it may turn legal in Japan now.

tldr; Japan console gaming isn't as strong as it was before. Mobile gaming is their future now. Kojima's too ambitious for that.

[Shade8780]

Started MGS 1 PS One Classic last December. Haven't been able to get myself to play it for months.

[Micku]

MGS5 looking good. 40 minute gameplay footage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE0y6bGAjZ0

I like that the fulton now has a limit now. I can imagine you can increase the number of fultons you can carry tho. And I like the enemies could notice you fulton things.

D-Dog is cute and seems useful. D-Walker is badass, but I did notice that they fulton D-Walker up if it takes too much damaged. A year ago (I think) said that the companions could die. Even though D-Walker is machine, the commentator in the presentation made it seem like they can no longer die while on the field.

And I don't like the episodic thing while they post the names of the ppl involved everytime you do a main mission. That's not needed I feel. I can't wait for mods to cut that off on the PC version. I feel that would be a little annoying. I can only imagine if R* did that on their missions.

The 80s music is going to be fun to find and play on my helicopter.

Game looks good tho. I'm still a bit wary of reports saying Big Boss doesn't talk much in cutscenes. I don't want him to be a silent protagonist, but I guess I have to see what it looks like when the game actually comes out. Looking for to this game. One of my anticipated games of the year.

[LexiKhan]

Kinda looks like a third person Far Cry.

I've been wanting them to remake MGS1 on a decent console for ages now (made it for friggin Gamecube of all things), because it really did have the best storyline, most interesting bosses and stuff, but they never did. Suppose it would make sense to remake the older ones on the ancient consoles too.

Dunno - there was something special about that game, though it was probably just my age and nostalgia now playing its tricks on me.

I heard Kojima was planning to re-make MGS1 into an open world game with PS4 graphics. Don't know how you can do open world in Shadow Moses, but maybe something like Arkham Asylum.

But that project's most likely dead now. What I really wanted was an MG/MG2 remake. Those games are severely outdated.

[STATUTORY]

so much hate on MGS2, yea there were a lot of a cutscenes but it certainly gave one of the best cinematic experience of that generation, amazing score, engrossing story, memorable boss fights, etc

[ImmortalNemesis]

I just finished MGS 2 for the first time a few days ago. Don't understand the hate either. Amazing score, great story, awesome twists, fun gameplay. It was really ahead of its time.

[Micku]

Dem ratings doe! 95 on meta-critic right now.

The only concern I have with the game is the story. It's a MGS game, so the story shouldn't be a problem, but there are conflicting reports on the story. Some of them say it's awesome and some say it's okay, but not as epic as the other MGS games.

My guess is because much of the story is now optional through cassette tapes and motherbase stuff.

Other than that, people are reporting this is the best game of this year so far and the best MGS game. It's paving a way through the stealth drama genre with its open worldness and possibilities. They are saying it's a must play.

Apparently there is not much of a story. A cut scene here and there, but no "oh shit" Metal Gear moments like in the past. No climactic boss fights either. This game is going to be different, but i'm ready for it. It's getting great reviews.

Some reviewers have said there are still plenty of story bombshells and general Kojima craziness. I think the gameplay to cutscene ratio is just tilted way more toward gameplay this time around, which is throwing some people off. MGS is known for those 20 minute power point presentations and exposition dumps, so it's a little jarring when all of the sudden you have hours of uninterrupted gameplay. Sounds great to me, but some MGS fans prefer the constant wackiness.

Also, apparently some reviewers didn't see the true ending.

Regardless, this is one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. I am so ****ing hyped.

[BigBoss]

Some reviewers have said there are still plenty of story bombshells and general Kojima craziness. I think the gameplay to cutscene ratio is just tilted way more toward gameplay this time around, which is throwing some people off.

I really hope so in regard to the story. Codec convos seem to have been replaced with tapes. Honestly I can do without those 20 "power point" presentations, video clips, etc that go on and on, and sometimes way off tangent. Metal Gear 2, 3, 4 sometimes just had way to information to process. I replayed Metal Gear Solid 1 over the weekend and was impressed at how " to the point" all the codec conversations and cut scenes were. I hope in that vain that is what Kojima is doing with Metal Gear Solid 5. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

I'm super happy about what i'm hearing of the gameplay. If there is a shower scene with Quiet then GOTY baby :rockon:

[West-Side]

Low focus on story and boss battles.
High focus on freedom, flexibility and content.

This game still has a story element but it isn't as high focused as previous installments. It doesn't really mean the story is poor considering MGS are some of the very best story driven games in gaming history.

The amount of stuff you can customize is insane. Plus the whole "build your army by stealing enemies shit" premise sound exciting. You can essentially recruit prisoners to your organization and manage literally everything.

So instead of causing explosions and being careless; the stealth element rewards you. By being stealthy, you can extract information and equipment to your HQ. By doing that, you can upgrade your weapons and other miscellaneous gems. It sounds pretty fascinating.

I don't really remember an open world game like this that was based on military operations. The only game I can think of is The Division that's coming out next year (and it looks BAD ASS).

[step_back]

I've been playing metal gear since the PS1 days. I'm looking forward to the refreshing change of gameplay to cut scene ratio. Metal gear 4 was absurd at times.

I'll be playing offline though. I can't be dealing with mouthy 13 year old kids stealing all my shit that I've spent my weekends accumulating for my base whilst I'm out on missions. **** that.

[Shade8780]

The story is fine. This guy is usually is pretty accurate with his reviews:

http://www.gamespot.com/metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain/

Only one or two reviewers didn't enjoy the story as much, one of them being a French dude who never played the series beforehand.

You can't have a weak story and get 10/10 on IGN and Gamespot. Even a 95 on Metacritic is higher than Witcher and any other game this year.

[El Kabong]

Potentially part of the problem with them saying the story is lacking is cause they've done a speed run and just barreled through all the main missions. As with Peace Walker, a lot of the story needs to be pieced together yourself and you need to take the time to go and listen to all of the taped conversations between characters. If you're just running through to finish you miss all of that sort of stuff.

new launch trailer released today

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9JV0EvCkMI

an homage/recollection to all the other mgs games

That song man. Very sad/good song. Sounds like a goodbye. Probably is since it appears Kojima and some of his crew would be leaving Konami.

This is probably going to be the last MGS game for a lot of ppl and reviewers are calling it the best one. Kind'a revolutionary since there is no game like it in the stealth genre. Can't wait. Less than a week to go!

[El Kabong]

I don't think it'll be the last Metal Gear Solid game, but it'll be the last "true" MGS game now get Kojima is leaving Konami. It's still a popular franchise so I'm sure they'll Assasins Creed it where they bring out a new game every couple of years from now on.

[BurningHammer]

Will people follow Kojima for whatever his new team will make in the future or stick with Konami's MGS?

[KnittingRyu]

I couldn't really get into it, but I don't have a history of playing the older games either.

[Heavincent]

Will people follow Kojima for whatever his new team will make in the future or stick with Konami's MGS?

MGS V is, for all intents and purposes, the last REAL Metal Gear game. I'm sure Konami will make some shitty mobile spinoff or something, but nobody will consider it to be an actual Metal Gear game.

So to answer your question, whatever Kojima does next will be infinitely more interesting.

Kojima is a pretty big name. One of the few devs who managed to put his name out there to the point where his name will sell the game I think.

But if he goes to a company who will give him money to do his thing, I feel like he'll be okay. If he brings some of the main guys from his team, then we might be end for a treat. Like his lead programmers, sound effect guys, and his art work partner.

Rumor has it that the all of the main dudes in his studio are getting the boot (all of them are contractors now). I imagine if he can bring all of those guys, especially the ppl who worked on the Fox Engine, then he'll be okay. People will follow him.

And since Konami wants to focus on mobile games to spend low and get bigger profit, then I don't know if they'll make a proper Metal Gear. Look at the Silent Hill games after Team Silent left. Maybe I'm wrong and they'll find a studio to make MGS games good, but they have some big shoes to fill.

The only games you really have to play before this are MGS3 and Peace Walker. They're the games with Big Boss.

You can get Peace Walker in the HD Collection. I really recommend playing it, despite it not being a numbered title. It's important to the story of Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain, as it shows the origin of MSF, Paz, Chico, and all the characters in GZ.

[red1]

Metal gear games have the most ridiculous stories but that game-play and those boss-fights are top-tier. Grabbing this for sure.

Are any of them on PC? I always target PC #1 as I just prefer it over console.. I just own a PS2 and 360. I have an emulator for PSP too (roms are technically not legal but ehh, nobody gets in trouble over roms here lol).

I beat MGS 1, 2, and 3 (SnakeEater) thus far. What else am I missing that is essential for MGS fans to beat? I don't have a PS3 to play MGS4.

You're an idiot. This is getting 10s across the board and has incredible gameplay, story, and amount of things to do. Uncharted has shootouts and cutscenes. MGS 1 was the best game on PS1, MGS 3 was the best PS2 game with MGS 2 still a top 5 game, MGS 4 was a top 3-5 PS3 game. What's stopping 5 from being the best game of this generation? Uncharted is so overrated, and I don't see anything but bias when you say "their videos shit all over The Phantom Pain". Seriously, are you blind?

[step_back]

I've played about 4 hours so far and I'm really enjoying it. The only gripes I have is that it's tedious traveling around the map on horseback and I think it could get a bit repetitive. But this is major nitpicking on my part.

However the game mechanics are smooth and the controls are fluid. Jaw dropping graphics and an incredibly tense opening. Strong GOTY candidate for sure.

Uncharted 2 & TLoU is rated higher than ANY game MGS has ever developed.
That's the same team developing Uncharted 4 and it's taking them twice as long to develop this one. So you know it'll be epic.

Besides GTA; TLoU and Uncharted 2 received the most perfect reviews in gaming's history.

Take the "L" homie and enjoy your Phantom Pain.
I understand that PP is going to be a great game, and most likely the best game of the current gen up to this point. But in 8 months time, invest in some tissue paper because U4 will dethrone MGS as the best game of the current gen.

Just like U2 and TLoU showed the middle finger to Guns of Patriots. :rockon:

10/10

[Joshumitsu]

Been watching let's plays of this game (about 2/3 through).

It looks just okay. Gameplay is repetitive. Open world feels incredibly empty. Story/writing is shit. They claim to be going a darker direction but it's more like edgy, pretentious melodrama. I'd appreciate it if it took itself less seriously. Because that way, it'd at least feel like a parody of itself.

So far, none of the boss battles in MGS4, Peacewalker, or MGS5 have compared to the fights against the Boss and the End. No chase scenes on par w/ the Shagohod. They didn't even bring back the survival and camo index aspect of MGS3.

There was a time MGS was influenced by cinema and animes like Ghost in the Shell. Now, it's 100% influenced by shitty animes and terrible Japanese action movies.

Before the MGS fanboys get upset, I'll state that MGS1, MGS3 and imo, MGS:PO were great games. It's this other stuff I can't stomach.

Definitely not worth the 10/10 people keep giving it.

I've been a fan since MGS on PS1 and I'd say your review is fair. It's a great game but definitely not a 10/10. I'm finding it repetitive already which is to be expected from a sandbox. The gadgets seem a bit off too. Way too advanced in technology considering this is set in the 80's.

Still I'm enjoying it and looking forward to the Angola map. Afghanistan is a bit bland and bleak.

Splinter Cell was freaking awesome. Probably my favourite game on the original Xbox.

As for the repetitive complaints on here, isn't that like every game? Every gun game is just gun battles, every stealth game is just sneaking, every car game is just racing, etc.

Really isn't close to the case here. Too different each time and multi faceted to come close to repetitive.

[BigBoss]

The prologue was intense. Lots of f'n information for gameplay early. It'll take time to digest, but i love the open world infiltration so far. I hear some later missions get real intense and you need to really come out with chess-like strategies to get in and out.

[niko]

WTF is Halo? That like Pacman?

[Heavincent]

Witcher 3

Nah. I really like The Witcher 3, but MGS V destroys it in terms of gameplay. Not even a comparison.

There's a million ways to do every mission. Never seen a game with this kind of freedom. Most open world games are actually linear in mission design. Go here, shoot these guys in a scripted sequence, etc. Not a whole lot of room for experimentation. The only limit in MGS V is your imagination.

Witcher had too much to do. It gave everything a sameness. And the battles, they gave bad guys too many HP's. The combat wasn't deep enough that you wanted to dodge some bad guy and counterpunch for 20 minutes.

[GIF REACTION]

rent free

[Micku]

Finish the game a few days ago. Here are my pros and cons:

Pros:

Gameplay is amazing. There is so much you could do. So many ways you can tackle things. The limit is your imagination. This gameplay has an organic feel to it. Everything feels so smooth. Even though the game is a little repetitive, the way you can tackle it the same kind of mission keeps me entertain. This is one of those open world games that truly gives the player freedom in how they want to tackle the objective. There are so many alternative ways to of the same mission. It's probably the most fun I had in a game this year.

Fox Engine is beast in terms of optimization. You could be running on a potato computer and still manage to get 60fps on med to high settings.

The transition to cutscene and gameplay is a nice little touch. Love the cinematic in this game. The tracking shots are done very well.

Cons:

Storytelling isn't the best. Too sparse. The story itself is decent, but the narrative halts itself after chapter 1. It feels incomplete.

Not much to do in Motherbase.

Not enough unique missions, but the raw gameplay makes up for that.

Conclusion:

If the story telling was better like it's predecessors, it would be without doubt be my GOTY. Chapter 2 pacing is a negative side. But the game is already amazing due to it's raw gameplay tho. It may revolutionize the stealth genre in terms of "open world" decisions in gameplay.

So, this game is definitely a contender for GOTY. Up there with Witcher 3. It's one of those games you have to pick up to enjoy. As a MGS fan, I highly recommend it. It's different than the other MGS games, but you could do so many things in this game.

[GIF REACTION]

But then Halo 5 slides in and steals GOTY.

[Micku]

Witcher had too much to do. It gave everything a sameness. And the battles, they gave bad guys too many HP's. The combat wasn't deep enough that you wanted to dodge some bad guy and counterpunch for 20 minutes.

Witcher 3's combat is better than Witcher 2. I find that it's fun and active and keep you on your toes similar to how Dark Souls is. Dark Souls is more complex tho.

MGSV is entirely different. Comparing the two is unfair since they strive for different things. But the horse riding in MGSV>Witcher 3. The animation and the feel.

But Witcher 3 is a perfect example of a open world game that gives you linear options. Mostly because of the narrative, which is understandable and those choices are impactful.

Compare that to MGSV tho. MGSV allows you tackle the mission however you want. Sneaky, guns blazing, day, night, different buddies, different ways to approach things, and alternate endings as well.

Witcher got this game easy

Uncharted comes out March, 2016.
So you guys are safe. Everyone knows Uncharted will take a shit on all of those games.

I think Phantom Pain will win it because of its name, even though Witcher 3 is slightly the better game.

Game-play wise, I think PP is fantastic.
It irritates me that the story is so dry. If they used these mechanics and actually mixed it with the story they're accustomed of delivering, it could have been the perfect game. Games like GTA V and Uncharted 3, I feel fall into that category. Great ass games, but they could have been truly epic.

I prefer Witcher because of the story, and most gamers do to.
I still think PP will win because its a MGS title.

I'd be shocked if Halo is better; won't be so surprised if Fallout is, however.
The amount of content Fallout will have will be difficult to digest.

Then, come March, the greatest game of the current gen will come out and will truly challenge the great Zelda for game of the CENTURY.

Uncharted collection will have better reception than both Witcher & PP, but since it's a remaster it won't win GOTY (and it shouldn't).

[StephHamann]

Played Witcher and MGS5 for 35 hours now, must say gameplaywise MGS is miles ahead of Witcher.

Storytelling and the Open world is miles better in the Witcher though.

Tough call, but i prefer good gameplay over a good story so MGS5 is game of the year for me now.

But my hopes are high for Fallout 4, could steal the title in November.

What makes you think bumping up some games to HD and 60 fps and re-releasing it again at full price without multiplayer makes it deserve GOTY instead of two new games that are both great successes in their own right? That's just an insult to the people who've made those games, that they get snubbed for a re-release.

:oldlol: I already said it won't qualify for GOTY.
I think PP deserves to win, over Witcher 3.

It's a really close call.
You have arguably the best mechanical game I've ever played (with a sub-par story) and a game with a great story and above average in all other elements.

I think PP is a pioneer of open world espionage, and simply for that should deserve such a recognition.
